Eighty Red Theory: Mrs. Xing

Mrs. Xing is the successor of Jia Yuzhi, the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, and the stepmother of Jia Lian and Yingchun, and she has no children herself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mrs. Xing appears in the third episode of the book, and the characters at the beginning are decent, but later they can't help but feel harsh. When Daiyu entered Jia's mansion for the third time, "Jia's mother ordered the two old grandmothers to take Daiyu to meet the two maternal uncles", Mrs. Xing led Daiyu to Jia Yu's courtyard, and the conversation was also affectionate. The courtyard of Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing's house, "Daiyu Du and the courtyard of her house, must have been cut off from the garden in the Rong Mansion", this pattern may be a reflection of the family relationship between the author Cao Xueqin's father. This kind of information is relatively easy to find and will not be explained here. The change in Mrs. Xing's character image is reflected in the forty-sixth episode of "embarrassing people are inevitably embarrassed, and the mandarin duck girl swears to never be a mandarin duck puppet", the book says that "Sister Feng knows that Mrs. Xing is stupid and stupid, and only knows that Chengshun Jia Yu is self-preservation, and the second time is greedy for wealth and goods, and the family should be at the mercy of Jia Yu. Whoever goes in and out of the affairs of money, as soon as it passes through his hands, he will be unusual, and in the name of pardoning waste, 'I must be thrifty and save money before I can make up for it,' and his children and slaves, no one can rely on him, and he will not listen to a word." Although this incident was caused by Jia Yu's desire to take Mandarin Duck as a concubine, the reason was also very early. In the third chapter, the status of Jia Yu and Jia Zheng in Jiafu is clearly indicated through the residence of Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng and the two brothers. Because Jia Zheng served as a court official, which was different from Jia Yu's name as a general with a similar false title, Jia Zheng inherited the residence of Jia Yuan, the ancestor of Rongguo, at home, of course, this is related to the author Cao Xueqin's family. In short, because of the status of Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing in Jiafu, they had the idea of taking mandarin ducks as concubines, and this matter was stopped because "the mandarin duck girl swore to never be a mandarin duck puppet", which caused Jia's mother to be angry and said.

Although the inner house is taken care of by Jia Zheng's wife, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng, the external things are handled by Jia Lian, the eldest son of Jia Yu, so the internal relationship in Jia Mansion is actually relatively balanced. Jia Yu is blindly lying down, Jia Zheng talks about literature and poetry with Qing Ke all day long, Mrs. Wang buries her head in reciting Buddha, and the operation of Jiafu is completed by Jia Lian and Sister Feng's husband and wife, and the two work together to cooperate with Jiafu to be in order. In fact, there was no question of fighting for power and profit within Jiafu, but the later change was that Jia Yu and his wife blindly gained selfishly.

I don't know if it's an accident or a coincidence, or if the author Cao Xueqin writes brilliantly in the seventy-first chapter of a similar catalog to the forty-sixth chapter, "The suspect has a suspicion, and the mandarin duck girl has no intention of meeting the mandarin duck", because of the previous discussion about the two mothers-in-law in Fei's mother-in-law offended You's family, which caused Mrs. Xing to rise up again. The book said, "It's just that Mother Jia hasn't made much fun of Mrs. Xing recently, so even the people here have reduced their prestige", "Mrs. Xing was bored after thinking that she wanted a mandarin duck, and later saw that Mother Jia became more and more indifferent to him" This is the reason. "This villain is on the side, and they dare not show the jealousy and resentment in their hearts, so they make things behind their backs and transfer the master. At first, he just sued the slave over there, and then gradually sued Sister Feng", so that "even if Mrs. Xing is an iron-hearted person, the women's family will inevitably have some suspicions, and recently she really hates Sister Feng", this is an accumulation. Later, Mrs. Xing "pleaded with Sister Feng in front of many people", which made Sister Feng embarrassed and even "couldn't help but feel more and more ashamed the more she thought about it, and she turned into sadness unconsciously and rolled down tears", this matter is "born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other", Mrs. Xing's embarrassment for her daughter-in-law can be said to hurt others and herself. In the seventy-third episode, Mrs. Xing did not consult with anyone, but first asked Yingchun to say that her nursing mother was convicted, and it was the same behavior to compare the spring exploration. At this time, pay attention to the last "Before I could say a word, the person replied: 'Second Grandma Lian is here.'" When Mrs. Xing heard this, she sneered twice, and ordered someone to go out and say, 'Please ask him to recuperate by himself, I don't need him to serve here'", Mrs. Xing could have discussed with Sister Feng about the handling of the embroidered spring sac, but her stubbornness made the matter bigger. The handling opinions discussed by Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang are the result of slowly promoting the situation to achieve their own goals from the past to the present.

Finally, let's talk about the word "harsh": in Confucius, there is a saying of harsh government, and Liu Zongyuan's "The Snake Catcher Says" is also included in Chinese textbooks. The harsh doctrine is to avoid a tight social state; Peaceful, quiet, ordinary, often also a general pattern of social order movement; If Mrs. Xing pretends to be normal, she will not have many rights and wrongs.
