Is Grandma Liu very powerful? Why do many people say she is wise and foolish?

When Grandma Liu came to the Jia Mansion for the second time, she was not like the first time she came to get some food. Instead, she brought a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables for everyone in the Jia Mansion to try. I am not as nervous and uneasy as when I first came here, but I have gained some confidence and seem to be familiar with the road.

Unexpectedly, when Grandma Liu came here for the second time, she fell in love with Jia Mu. As the ancestor of the Jia family, Mother Jia lacks everything, but what she fears most is boredom. The way to relieve her boredom is to talk, laugh and have fun with her grandchildren to pass the time. Grandma Liu's arrival aroused a strong interest in Jia Mu, so she refused to let her go. Therefore, Grandma Liu, who was originally a relative of Mrs. Wang, had little contact with Mrs. Wang, but had dealings with Mrs. Jia.

But due to Jia Mu’s kindness, Grandma Liu stayed. And she quickly showed her talents, knowing how to tell things and how to talk. This old woman, who is accustomed to poverty in the mountains and countryside, has a lot of life experience and accumulation, and she has many stories in her heart. They are what Jia Mu calls "people who accumulate the past".

Sure enough, just after they settled in, Grandma Liu told Jia Mu what she saw and heard in the village, and Jia Mu became even more interested. Grandma Liu's ability to speak and tell stories can be interesting to Jia Mu, who has seen a lot of things in the world and has a lot of experience. You know, what Jia Mu likes is people with sharp words and outstanding looks, such as Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu, Qingwen, etc., while Grandma Liu relies on a good mouth.

Since Grandma Liu has won Jia Mu’s heart. In addition to eating, she was sent to Jia Mu by Wang Xifeng. Moreover, he was specially arranged to take a shower, change clothes, and continue the lecture. This treatment was really extraordinary. When Baoyu and the sisters came to pay their respects, this group of rich second-generation people were quickly attracted by Grandma Liu. They all just listened to her words, and actually thought they sounded better than what the storyteller said. Grandma Liu saw a lot of people, and everyone liked her performance. Now she was even more enthusiastic, and she had to make up things that didn't exist.

So, everyone listened attentively to Grandma Liu's story.

Why is Grandma Liu so good at telling stories? First of all, although she has not read a book, she is knowledgeable. Furthermore, her life experience is profound and broad, and her grassroots wisdom and experience may not be lost to Yangchun Baixue. Moreover, the ladies and gentlemen in the courtyard would not understand what she said, and she could express herself as she pleased.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has high emotional intelligence. She knows in her heart that now that she is here, she can't just sit there. She has to stir up the atmosphere to make everyone happy and Jia Mu happy. Then it will be natural. There are many benefits.

Why do everyone in the Jia family like to listen to this old and vulgar-looking lady telling stories and talking about life? First, you will get tired of eating too much delicacies from the mountains and seas. Although the music, chess, calligraphy and painting are elegant, Grandma Liu is like the "wild things" she brought. The more different they are from the wealthy life, the more people will notice.

Furthermore, art comes from life. No matter how good the storyteller is, it is just talk on paper. It is obtained by learning from books and selling them now. But Grandma Liu is different. The things in the mountains and fields that Grandma Liu talks about are very realistic. She herself is the best sign! It's one thing to make people believe it, but not to think, hey, it's just bragging. Although Grandma Liu is really bragging.

This was the highlight moment of Grandma Liu’s life. Next, she told two stories that attracted much attention, and both of them were wonderful.

The first story is about drawing firewood in the snow. This story is purely fictional, but it was told vividly by Grandma Liu and quickly brought the audience into it. First of all, Grandma Liu started well. She did not say, comrades, the story I am going to tell today is... This would be half the battle.

She spoke very truthfully, almost as sincerely as if she swore to God. What she said was that she was working in the village, and what strange things were missing? Strange and strange, plus a rhetorical question, it can ignite people's curiosity in an instant. Curiosity is human nature. The audience below was suddenly caught by their ears. What on earth is so strange?

Then Grandma Liu started to talk mysteriously again, and the snow was falling very deep, and there was the sound of firewood. At this time, Jia Mu could no longer bear it and expressed her opinion, thinking that a passing guest had smoked it to keep warm.

This statement was denied by Grandma Liu. I just didn’t ask, if you have any different opinions, raise your hands! The atmosphere has become lively.

Everyone was waiting for Grandma Liu’s explanation. However, Grandma Liu was unhurried and said that she was a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. The vulgar Grandma Liu also described how beautiful the little girl was. , hair combed smoothly, wearing a bright red coat and white silk skirt. She also planned to use up the few words she had to continue describing it, but unexpectedly, an incident occurred. A fire broke out in the stable in the south courtyard, which made everyone frightened. They were busy chanting Buddha's name and burning incense for a long time. Grandma Liu's story will end here.

After the episode, everything was business as usual. Everyone was still in shock, but Baoyu was dumbfounded and pulled Grandma Liu to ask why the heroine in her story was smoking firewood and whether she would be frozen. Jia Mu scolded her, saying it was all the fault of this story.

This story had to end abruptly. As the saying goes, there is no coincidence, and there seems to be some connection between smoking firewood and starting a fire. For wealthy people, taboo foods, seeking good luck, and feeling comfortable are more important. No one can afford something that is too exciting.

Grandma Liu is also very discerning. She knows that the story about smoking firewood has frightened everyone in Jia Mu. If she is not careful, she may be angry with her. Soon, she was telling stories again. But the style of the following story is very different from the first story. Smoking firewood is a bit like Liaozhai, fragrant and mysterious, but it just suits Jia Baoyu's taste.

The second story, also told by Grandma Liu, is a true story from Zhuangzi. It tells the story of an old woman who sincerely worshiped the Buddha and was moved by God. Guanyin Bodhisattva gave her a dream, saying that she was supposed to have no children, but because she prayed to the Buddha, he gave her a grandson. It turns out that the old grandma had already had a grandson who died before, and the grandson she got was as handsome as a snowball, and he was so smart and endearing. Then Grandma Liu made a comment calmly, which shows that there are gods and Buddhas.

This story has no suspense and is straightforward, but it has achieved better results. Not only did Jia's mother believe it, but Mrs. Wang, a relative who had ignored Grandma Liu and had little communication with her, was also convinced and listened. Of course, Jia Baoyu is still immersed in the previous story, and the other sisters probably have different attitudes towards Buddhas and gods, but as long as Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are positive, that is the greatest victory.

Grandma Liu is indeed a master of telling stories, but whether she is pretending to be mysterious or going round and round, no matter how many skills she has, that is only secondary. The most important thing is what kind of story the person listening to your story wants to hear and what kind of psychological suggestion they want to get. To put it bluntly, what it needs more is high emotional intelligence. Grandma Liu's wisdom makes her story even more exciting.

It must be said that these two stories told by Grandma Liu made her feel even more at home in the Jia family. She captured the hearts of three people, Jia Baoyu, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. They all felt that what she said was right and true. Even Dai Baoyu still couldn't forget it, and pulled Grandma Liu to ask more about it. Grandma Liu had no choice but to continue making it up.

Grandma Liu’s language organization ability and imagination are not comparable to ordinary people. It can also be seen that even though life is difficult, Grandma Liu is a lively person who loves to talk and laugh. She also has a lot of happiness in her life. Although her happiness has little gold content, happiness itself is not directly related to material things.

Although it was to make a living, Grandma Liu told stories and acted ugly in various ways, which made everyone happy. But I think she is a happy and tenacious old man, a wise man who will not be easily defeated by reality. Storytelling is just a small skill of hers, which can be exchanged for a few meals. She can't ask for it. If it can make life at home easier, she will go all out. Everyone was immersed in the stories she told, and behind those false stories was real life, the difficulties of reality, and the real ups and downs of life. That was another side that Grandma Liu couldn't tell them.

Grandma Liu, who spent a few days in Jia's Mansion, was as good as walking around. After returning, she had more stories to tell the neighbors and folks, such as "I was in the Grand View Garden." "What I saw and heard", "I studied in Jia Mansion" and so on...
