Most of the people who can hold their talents and be proud of things have real talents and real learning. Because of superior knowledge, because of seeing higher and farther than others, because of believing that one's own opinions and actions are correct, one is impatient and even contemptuous of those who do not listen to one's own opinions.

The image of the second lady is becoming more and more distinct. I no longer think that she is a black-bellied woman who seeks power and strives to control the Xu family, she should be a high-minded and self-conscious intellectual. Because she is smart and can see through the essence of many things, she separates herself from ordinary boudoir women. Presiding over the feed, running the family business is a trivial matter for her, and it is by no means her ambition. Therefore, she can happily hand over the power of the housekeeper, and she can also hand over the flower dew recipe to the fifth lady at will. What she aspires to be like a man is to manage knowledge, guide current affairs, and support the entire family on her own. It is better to say that she sees herself as the uncrowned Lady of the Hou Mansion, but that she thinks of herself as the battle of the Hou Lord. In the most difficult period of the Hou Mansion, it was she, together with Mrs. Tai and the Hou Ye, who supported the crumbling Hou Mansion, and she thought that she had contributed to this family and was happy to contribute.

What do intellectuals who think highly of themselves hate the most? It was the one who challenged her authority. In the past, that person was Yuan Niang, but now she thinks it could be Eleven.

In the eyes of the second lady, Yuan Niang is a person who only understands intrigue and intrigue and has no responsibility, just a smart woman. Like most women in the house, Yuan Niang values the small profits in front of her, and does not know how to contribute to the overall situation for the Hou Mansion. But this woman, who she despised her, occupied the position of the head of the Hou Mansion and restricted the development of the Hou Mansion. Not only that, but this woman she despised also jumped out from time to time to challenge her status. This is the irreconcilable contradiction between the second lady and Yuan Niang. The second lady who is smart and talented, for the stability of the Hou Mansion and her own stability, has taught Yuan Niang a hard lesson several times. The authority of intellectuals has always been intolerable, and if there are people who are not long-sighted and touch the scales, then look at it, if they don't make you stink, hurt, or admit your mistakes, then you can't talk about talent!

Just like the dean of the women's college, the second lady is very confident in her academic ability. This self-confidence comes not only from her far-reaching fame, but also from the respect of the three generations of the Hou Mansion. This strong self-confidence made her ignore power to a certain extent. She can be indifferent to the wives of the court, she can be indifferent and self-controlled, she can be silent to the queen mother, and she can also speak sharply to the sad queen. Knowledge is power, and it has been fully verified in her.

Because she relies too much on knowledge and wisdom, and attaches too much importance to right and wrong, pros and cons, the second lady is inevitably stronger than insight into world affairs and weaker than human feelings. The unique loftiness of a scholar, she is also not lacking in evil.

Between the second lady and Eleven Niang, there is no mortal situation without me, because the two of them have the same wish for the good of Xu Fu. As long as the second lady can let go of prejudice, sincerely recognize Shi Niang's knowledge and qualifications, and at the same time relax her mind, and don't have any feelings about Shengyu and He Shengliang, they will be able to coexist peacefully. Of course, even so, before reaching this stage, the fighting methods of the two are indispensable.
