Boutique Red Mansion: Why is it so cold in Jiafu Dragon Boat Festival?

In the thirty-first episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a passage in the book: "This day is the Dragon Boat Festival, universal love, and the tiger symbol is tied to the door. At noon, Mrs. Wang gave a banquet to invite the Xue family mother and daughter to enjoy the afternoon. Baoyu didn't talk to Baochai when he saw that Baochai was dizzy and knew it was yesterday. Mrs. Wang thought yesterday was Jin Chuaner's when she saw Baoyu listless. He was embarrassed and ignored him more and more. When Lin Daiyu saw that Baoyu was lazy, she only thought that he had offended Baochai and felt uncomfortable, so she described him as lazy. Last night, Mrs Wang told him about Baoyu and Jinbei. Knowing that Mrs. Wang is not feeling well, how dare you joke? With Mrs. Wang's look, I feel more groggy. When Jia Yingchun's sisters see that everyone is bored, they are also bored. So, everyone sat down and dispersed. "I was surprised to see this passage before, but I can't say why. I always thought that the Dragon Boat Festival in Jiafu should not be so cold. Do you think Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are the most important solar terms besides Spring Festival? Let's say the Jia family doesn't pay attention to the Dragon Boat Festival. They have been preparing for it for a long time. You see, twenty-four times, that is, in April before the Flower Festival, Wang Xifeng began to collect Jia Yun's musk and borneol. 28 years ago, Yuan Chun gave Jia a Dragon Boat Festival gift. In order to push the festive atmosphere to a climax, we specially arranged to visit Qingxuguan for three consecutive days from the first day of May, which was actually quite lively. I want to take part in the Dragon Boat Festival. I wonder how busy Jia's family will be! Needless to say, the Spring Festival, New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival in Jiafu are not very lively, singing, drinking, joking and listening to books. Even on the birthdays of Baoyu, Xifeng and Baochai, everyone was beaming and enthusiastic, not to mention the ostentation and extravagance of the old lady's birthday. However, why is it so lively in the early stage of the Dragon Boat Festival and so cold in the positive period? That's weird, that's incredible! Later, through careful reading, thinking and analysis, I finally felt the cold mystery and mystery. It turns out that many things happened before the Dragon Boat Festival. The most important thing is that Yuan Chun gave the same gift to Baoyu and Baochai respectively during the Dragon Boat Festival, while Daiyu's gift, like Sanchun's, was lowered by one level, giving people the feeling that it was like giving a wedding to Baoyu and Baochai. This has caused a great shock to the parties and related people in Jiafu. Of course, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue must be ecstatic, needless to say. Baochai is not busy talking about her, although she is "ashamed" of wearing a red musk deer string. Let's not mention the bitterness and bitterness of Daiyu and Xifeng for the time being, but only say that we have annoyed a key person. Who is this man? The supreme ruler of Jiafu is Jia Mu! Why should Jia Mu be angry? Jia Mu has always taken a fancy to her granddaughter Lin Daiyu and made a series of efforts to achieve this goal. What happened to Lin Daiyu when the granddaughter's intention to marry the emperor and queen appeared? Didn't Jia's early efforts go down the drain? How can Jia Mu not be annoyed? How to swallow this tone? Although the Lady Dowager was annoyed and disapproved of Baoyu's plan to marry Baochai, she would not quarrel like ordinary people to express her opposition and vent her dissatisfaction, which would be too shameful. With her prestige in the Jia family and her own wisdom, she artistically eliminated the influence of dissolving marriage intention. How to resolve it? She took three measures to inform artistically in three aspects: one was to inform, the other was to inform the Xue family's mother and daughter, and the third was to inform Mrs. Wang. Let's see how Jia Mu informed these people. Tell Yuan Chun: Grandmother Jia knew that Yuan Chun had sent Baochai something to Baoyu, so she told Baoyu to "go in overnight to thank him". She wants Yuan Chun to know that "one" means that she can't pair up, so Yuan Chun will be more interesting. Inform the Xue family's mother and daughter that this is the key point: the Jia family called on the whole family to go to the Qingxu Museum to see a play through this project. Mrs. Wang refused on the grounds that "someone is coming from Yuan Chun". Grandmother Jia ignored her, but specially invited the Xue family mother and daughter. Your family's boxing practice is related to others' Xue family. What does it matter? In principle, you can not go. Baochai originally said no, but it's not good for Grandmother Jia to invite you not to go. Besides, according to the old lady, it is to listen to music, of course, to go to the theatre. What play did you see? The Xue family never dreamed that what they saw was a play in a play-a play performed by Jia Mu! Jia Mu directed two plays in Qing Xu Guan. The first one is called "Zhang Daoshi's proposal", and the second one is called "Jin Qilin's spiritual attraction". The first play is very interesting: Zhang Daoshi, the hero of the male role, said to Jia Mu, the heroine of the female role in public: "I saw a lady from a family the other day. She is fifteen years old and looks good. I think it's time to find a marriage for my brother. If this young lady looks smart, smart and has a good foundation, she is worth it. " But I don't know what the old lady is like, and I dare not expect anything. I dare not tell anyone until I invite the old lady to show it to me. Grandmother Jia said, "Last time a monk said that this child should not marry early in his life. "。 Wait till he's older. You can ask now, no matter how rich he is, as long as he looks worthy, come and tell me. That family is poor, just give him a few taels of silver. It's just hard to look good. "In my opinion, this is a duet with Zhang Daoshi in front of the Xue family's mother and daughter. . First, there is something wrong with the occasion of proposing marriage. Generally speaking, marriage proposals are made in private first. How can I propose in public? But also in front of the client Jia Baoyu, at that time, it was incredible; Second, what Zhang Daoshi said about Miss is actually an allusion to Xue Baochai. You see Baochai has just turned fifteen, and she is also smart and good-looking. Her foundation and possessions are also worthy of Baoyu. Third, after hearing Zhang Daoshi say that finish, Jia immediately rejected her, and didn't ask the details of the young lady. In order to cover up the abrupt refusal, I said the latter words. Fourthly, through such a marriage proposal dialogue, it is intended to let the Xue family understand that Baoyu's marriage only counts if my grandmother says so. I don't agree with your marriage between Baochai and Baoyu, thus indirectly denying Yuan Chun's intention to marry. Baochai is clever as ice and snow. If she steps on her head, she will certainly understand the intention of the old lady. I think at this moment, the Xue family mother and daughter must have knocked over the jar of five flavors in their hearts. The second play is even more exciting: Zhang Daoshi uses a plate as a prop, takes Jia Baoyu's psychic Baoyu out on a plate for people to see, and brings back a bunch of treasures on a plate. The psychic Baoyu is the lifeblood of Jia Baoyu, and there are many people outside. If it is not arranged in advance, can grandma let him take the risk? In that pile of things, Jia saw other things and said nothing. Only when she saw Jin Qilin did she say, "I saw someone with such a child. "Interestingly, at this time, many audience actors are scrambling to perform (however, they also feel it). Baochai first replied, "Sister Shi has one, smaller than this one. "This is Yuner's," said Grandmother Jia. "。 Hearing this, Baoyu quickly said, "I didn't see him living in our house either. "。 Tanchun hit the nail on the head and said, "Sister Bao has a heart and remembers everything. "。 "Lin Daiyu sneered:" He is still limited in other aspects, but these people pay more attention to what they bring. Baochai turned around and pretended not to hear. "。 Look at this passage carefully and taste it again. Do you think it's wonderful? In this play, Baochai is an actress who is put in. How could the Lady Dowager not know that Xiangyun has a golden unicorn? Just asking so deliberately, Baochai was taken in. I guess at this moment, Jia Mu is talking to herself: My family has had a girl named Jin Qilin for a long time, and she didn't even say whether she deserves it or not. Why don't you deserve a girl with a lock? Is it a good marriage? Baoyu's words also hit people: Xiangyun has lived in my house for so long, and I haven't seen him. The implication is that I also turn a blind eye to your golden lock; Tanchun is outspoken, "Sister Bao has a heart", and just pointing at Baochai's five inches has made Baochai unbearable. In addition, Lin Daiyu's words are even more mean. I think Baochai is sitting on a needle cone at the moment, and she is ashamed. But I dare not go, so I have to play dumb in front of the first car. Baochai is like this. Does it feel good to have Aunt Xue around? In these two plays directed by Jia Mu, I didn't see every move, word and deed of old Xue Po. I guess her biggest feeling is that she really shouldn't come today and was taken to a deep ditch by her grandmother. I also believe that she will convey this feeling to Mrs. Wang soon. Inform Mrs. Wang that this is the key: Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang have completely different opinions on Baoyu's marriage choice, but as a mother, Mrs. Wang has the right to interfere in Baoyu's marriage, and the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not good at speaking out on the table, so they can only fight in secret. Jia Muzheng chose the opportunity when Mrs. King of the Dragon Boat Festival invited Xue's mother and daughter to "enjoy the afternoon" and took a deceptive attitude towards the wedding to be held by Wang, Xue and the three. Didn't Qingxu Guan tell you that Mrs. Wang didn't go? Today's luncheon didn't come. I think it's mostly because Mrs. Wang refused to attend, and Mrs. Wang had no reason not to be invited. Probably even Feng and Baoyu were invited, but Jia didn't come at last. Do you think it's normal for such an important festival not to have lunch with a super heavyweight like Jia Mu? What will everyone think in their hearts? How can we be happy? The reasons mentioned in the book, such as "lethargy", "laziness", "discomfort", "listlessness" and "boredom", are only superficial reasons. The real reason is that the old lady is angry, and the reason for not coming is that Baoyu's struggle for marriage candidates has reached the stage of the Cold War before the outbreak. We can contact each diner for a specific analysis to further prove the above inference. Let's talk about Baochai first, according to the order in the book: Baochai lied about choosing the palace and came to Jia's house, but by comparing the psychic gold locks, she hooked up with good fortune. Mrs. Wang also went to great pains for her, instructing Yuan Chun to call a name to live in the Grand View Garden, so as to close the distance with Baoyu and give him the same gift as Baoyu as a sign of marriage. But Baoyu didn't buy it, and Grandmother Jia couldn't get through. At Qingxuguan, she almost went underground again. Today, as an invited guest, Jia Mu refused to see her. What do you think she is doing? "Faint" is already a very good performance. Do you still want her to be happy? Is she still happy? Baoyu: It turns out that Baoyu always has only one sister Lin in his heart. Sister Yuan Chun and his mother insisted on blaming Baochai. His reaction to this gift and Zhang Daoshi's proposal was so strong that he snubbed Baochai, satirized Baochai and offended his beloved sister Lin. Seeing this, his ancestors and his mother froze their relationship again, and there was nothing they could do about it. You said he was just blocked. Besides, Daiyu: Daiyu loves her prince charming, Jia Baoyu, and is very sensitive to "golden marriage". Now, the gift given by the Emperor and Empress has brought Baoyu and Baochai together, separated themselves from Baoyu, and misunderstood the intention of Qingxu Guan's proposal and the Golden Kirin incident. She also knows that Mrs. Wang is interested in Xue Baochai rather than herself, and her only patron, Jia Jia, didn't attend the party today, so there are many unknown and infinite worries in her heart. Don't call him "lazy", as long as he can stop crying, he will burn high incense. Finally, let's talk about Xifeng and Mrs. Wang: Xifeng, as Mrs. Wang's servant and niece, is also the granddaughter of the old lady, and no one dares to offend. Her position on Baoyu's marriage candidate is that Daiyu tends to exclude Baochai, which Mrs. Wang may not know. Qing Xu Guan performed two wonderful farce, and was also suspected of colluding with Feng. So today, Wang Xifeng would rather leave her ancestors behind for a while and come to Mrs. Wang to promise, depending on Mrs. Wang's face. Mrs. Wang is not feeling well. Does Feng dare to be "comfortable"? Besides, people are here, and they are worried about grandma. I hope I can finish my work here early, so I will feel "weaker". Mrs. Wang's sisters and nieces are also used to it in the Qingxu Museum. "。 I wanted to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to invite them to comfort me privately. Who knows that Jia didn't even show up, and he felt embarrassed and humiliated. And everyone is cold-faced, and the atmosphere is dull. They all looked like they didn't want to come and had to come, which made them feel even worse. Maybe Mrs. Wang also thinks it's not the right time to break up with grandma. Sister Jia Yingchun felt "bored" when she saw everyone's expression. If you want such a dull atmosphere, who wants to stay here? I can't wait to leave. So "everyone just sat for a while and then dispersed. "I'm not at the scene. I guess she's waiting at grandma's. If Jia Mu attends this holiday lunch, the atmosphere will definitely be very different. First of all, Aunt Xue will talk insincerely to Jia Mu, Baochai may look for opportunities to kiss up to Jia Mu, Baoyu and Daiyu will probably put melons in front of Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng will say something to tease her ancestors, and Mrs. Wang will also serve her daughter-in-law in filial piety, so Sanchun will definitely not feel "bored". Maybe the old lady will also give some questions about guessing and telling jokes, so that the girls can tell stories and the actors can sing operas. To put it bluntly, if Jia Mu doesn't attend the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, it will embarrass Mrs. Wang, let Mrs. Wang know what it's like without my old woman, and let you know what I can do! The lunch of Jia's Dragon Boat Festival is a typical scene of the cold war between Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang. The cold war is temporary, don't believe it. Baoyu was beaten and war broke out.
