In the original work "Do You Know", the death of Aunt Zhongwei became a victim of a feud between his wife and his concubine. Her death was lighter than Hongmao's, but in exchange for Sheng Hong's brief cold reception. In the original book, her death did not have Minglan revenge, her death was like a tiny wave in the sea, although it caused some movement, but in the end it was covered up silently.
Later, in order to maintain the dignity of the family, Sheng Hong and the Wang family changed the servants and women in the mansion one by one, but the main ** Lin Hanshuang did not mention it. As time passed, no one in the Sheng family mentioned Aunt Wei's death again, and few people even knew about this beautiful and cowardly woman who had died tragically.
The direct result of Wei's death was Lin Hanshuang, and the helper behind it was Wang Ruofu, but the real culprit was her own inaction.
In the early days of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Hong actually had a wife and four concubines. But in the TV series, in addition to Lin Hanshuang's behavior because of the indulging girl, Lin Hanshuang was brutally killed, but in the original book, she was only arranged in Zhuangzi's Dugu life.
After that, Lin Hanshuang left, and the old lady lifted Aunt Ju again to cut off Lin Hanshuang's retreat, these are all things that happened more than ten years after Wei's death.
Although the first four aunts and the other aunts all survived their lives unharmed, what is the reason behind the unfortunate fate of Aunt Wei who eventually passed away due to the unfortunate fate of one death and two lives?
First of all, I would like to introduce you to Sheng Hong's four concubines and one wife at that time.
Wang Ruofu was the daughter of the emperor and his wife. Sheng Hong's marriage to her lacked deep affection in itself, and was more out of consideration for her career and family reputation. She gave birth to a boy and two girls for Sheng Hong, and her son later became the most promising person in the Sheng family.
So, over time, they embark on a journey of free love. In Sheng Hong's heart, he loves Lin Hanshuang deeply, which is why Lin Hanshuang became Sheng Hong's favorite concubine. She and Sheng Hong have a son and a daughter together. Thanks to Sheng Hong's special care, her children were placed beside her. In his heart, Wang Ruofu's status is very special, which is why his forces were able to confront Wang Ruofu later, the two fought in the Sheng family for more than ten years, and Wang Ruofu was ridiculed by Dengzhou's ** and his family.
Aunt Wei is actually a good concubine that the Wang family is looking for in the outside world in order to maintain the social status of their daughter. Although she was born in a wealthy family, she is not an ordinary person. She was born in a formal family and was an official member of the Sheng family, and her social status even surpassed that of Lin Hanshuang, who had an affair with Sheng Hong in private.
In addition, there is also a woman named Aunt Xiang, who is Wang Ruofu's companion. When Wang Ruofu was pregnant, he was assigned to take care of Sheng Hong's daily life, and later he became pregnant, and raised his aunt and gave birth to a boy.
The last one who appeared was Aunt Ping, who was Sheng Hong's concubine room given to her by her boss when she was socializing outside.
Although the door of the Sheng Mansion was not large, his wife and concubines were "small but well-equipped".
A chess piece sent by the Wang family was the result of a fight between wives and concubines.
The Wei family is because the Wang family once saw Sheng Hong's pampering concubine and killing his wife, and his daughter's life in the Sheng family was not satisfactory. Lin Mai Pulse Cream not only got Sheng Hong's favor, but she also had two children. Therefore, if she continues like this, the Wang family is worried that she will threaten Wang Ruofu's position, which makes the Wang family very anxious.
The old lady of the Wang family sent her right-hand maid Liu Kun to her daughter's side and planned a series of plans for her. She also invited the honest and beautiful Webster, although the "beauty trick" is a bit old-fashioned, but the effect is very good.
At first, in order to fight against Lin Hanshuang's forces, Wang Ruofu tried to cheer up a few girls. However, due to Lin Hanshuang's strong fighting ability, none of these girls could touch Sheng Hong's heart, which was not the reason why Wang Ruofu was incapable.
Lin Hanshuang was actually born in a bureaucratic family and has a beautiful appearance. When she discussed poetry and poetry with Sheng Hong, it was difficult for even the Wang family to interject, let alone the maid beside her
Because of this, Webster appeared. Her appearance was regarded by the Wang family as a strategic pawn, mainly to confront the enemy in court with Lin Maishuang, so as to consolidate Wang Ruofu's position. Therefore, the Wang family's vision of finding talents is quite outstanding.
Although Wei was not born in an official family, she was born in an upright and simple family, and was a serious concubine of the Sheng family. Although she does not have the temperament of Lin Hanshuang, she has the ability to discuss poetry and writing with Sheng Hong.
However, she has one of the most intuitive and immediately visible advantages for all women – and that is her beauty.
When Sheng Hong saw it, he was very happy, and although she didn't know how to write, he was willing to teach herShe didn't know anything about poetry, calligraphy or painting, so don't worry, he'll give adviceShe didn't know what a woman was, but she liked men. Although she does not have the charm of Lin Hanshuang, she still shows incomparable gentleness and charm, which makes many men truly fall in love with her.
After that, she gave birth to a daughter named Sheng Minglan for Sheng Hong, but unfortunately, her second child was framed, her brother was suffocated in her belly, and she herself did not know how she lost her life.
Sheng Hong only temporarily snubbed Lin Hanshuang after the incident, and many years later, she gradually faded from people's memories.
Wei was originally sent to Sheng Hong by the Wang family as a pawn, and her death was so silent that she became an inconspicuous victim in the struggle between wives and concubines in that era.
As a pawn, he failed to fulfill his due role and responsibilities.
Wei has become a pawn for many wives and concubines to compete for. After her death, Wang Ruofu is still the identity of the eldest lady of Wang, and Lin Maimaishuang is still Sheng Hong's favorite concubine. Everyone in the Sheng family would not feel real grief because of her death, but after a few days of sadness, Sheng Hong's relationship with Lin Mai Shuang came back together.
She is seen as a pawn with the most significant feminine virtue – that is, her beauty.
As Sheng Hong's side room, she is far more favored than Lin Hanshuang, and she has the support of the Wang family behind her. Although Lin Hanshuang didn't dare to take any action against her, she silently walked towards the end of her life and disappeared without a trace.
She died because, although she was a powerful pawn, she did not really fulfill her duties as a pawn.
The original purpose of the Wang family looking for her was to use her preference to regain Sheng Hong from Lin Hanshuang, so as to prevent Lin Hanshuang from posing a threat to Wang Ruofu, believing that the three-point world was the most stable strategy.
Wei's success in bringing Sheng Hong back to Lin Hanshuang's side means that Lin Hanshuang's influence will be greatly reduced. If Wei wants to stabilize his position, he must rely on Wang Ruofu, so that Wang Ruofu's position will be more stable. This balance will always be maintained, and Wei's will have a happy ending in the Sheng family.
However, she did not reach her full potential as a pawn.
She didn't want to weaken Lin Hanshuang's influence, nor did she want to win the favor of her mother.
For her as a pawn, Wang Ruofu is not sure whether she is really loyal to him. And except for Sheng Hong's reduced number of visits in a month, Lin Aishuang did not suffer much loss, which was not the real goal of the Wang family, so she was not a suitable chess piece.
In the end, Lin Hanshuang's influence remained solid, and Wang Ruofu's interests gradually diminished. She and Sheng Hong live a loving life every day, not only giving birth to a daughter, but also planning to have a son.
Therefore, when she became pregnant again, Lin Hanshuang began to feel scared. She initially relied on Sheng Hong's favor to establish herself in the Sheng family, and now she has a son and a daughter, which makes her influence in the Sheng family greatly increased.
Now, Wei not only took away Sheng Hong's favor from her, she gave birth to a daughter in advance, and even wanted a son. This frightened Lin Hanshuang, who feared that her position in the Sheng family might be seriously threatened if Wei gave birth to a son, so she decided to take action.
Lin Hanshuang began to use the name of the official family to take care of the daily life of the pregnant Wei, and a large number of delicacies and various supplements poured into Wei's home, causing Wei's abdomen to gradually enlarge.
When Wei was about to give birth, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu were not at home. And the old lady who lived far away and didn't care much about housework was left with Lin Hanshuang at home. When she hurts Wei, she behaves like depicted in the TV series, with neither a doctor nor a stable wife, and even Wei's closest maid, Fluttershy, is controlled by Lin Hanshuang and sent away.
In the end, Weiss died of dystocia due to the large abdomen, which caused no one around to die due to difficult childbirth. Considering that a person like Sheng Hong, who cherishes his reputation, will not investigate in depth, and Lin Hanshuang's methods are too ruthless, he really can't find any conclusive evidence.
Therefore, Sheng Hong only sighed at her death:
If I hadn't gone to Bianjing, I wouldn't have gone to my uncle in Runzhou to say goodbye, because she was not blessed herself. ”
In the end, Weiss died, and her death was very unjust, but the person next to her only sighed at her death and said, "She is not a blessed person".
Wei's death was not because Lin Hanshuang was direct**, in fact, Wang was also the culprit who indirectly caused her death.
Wei was originally a chess piece that the Wang family was looking for, and if this chess piece could be used effectively and obey orders, then his life would be stable. However, if this piece no longer applies, there is no reason for the Wang family to keep it to cause trouble for their daughter.
Therefore, at first, the Wang family did intend to run away from home, leaving only a person named Lin Hanshuang in the family, and she completely abandoned herself, and afterwards she was only criticized that the housekeeper in the family was not strict enough.
In fact, Wei is an honest person, and she has the ability to get Sheng Hong to leave and make him have a special liking for Lin Hanshuang.
However, why did Wang Ruofu decide to wipe out the Wei family?
The reason is quite straightforward.
Wei was actually a virtuous concubine.
In addition, she is a good concubine who is not sure if she will have evil thoughts about her, so the Wang family would rather kill her by mistake than let her go easily.
Wei was officially promoted to the aunt of the main room by the Sheng family, so her social status surpassed Lin Xinshuang. Because she was specially favored by Sheng Hong, she was regarded as a noble concubine. If this noble concubine has offspring, her status as a concubine may be affected, so Wang Ruofu does not want such a concubine to exist.
In the work "Dream of Red Mansions", Wang Xifeng was afraid of Second Sister You, but she did not take Qiu Tong in her eyes, because Second Sister You was born in a good family with status, favored by men, and was pregnant and regarded as a noble concubine.
Wang Xifeng has made seven mistakes because he has not had an heir for a long time. If Second Sister You has a son in the future, not only will she not replace Wang Xifeng, but this may also have an impact on her social status. Therefore, when Wang Xifeng learned about Second Sister You's situation, she would not hesitate to pull out her sword.
Why didn't Baoyu's mother pay attention to Aunt Zhao?It is precisely because of the huge disparity in strength that one of them was born into a wealthy royal family, while the other was a servant of the family, not even a basic free man, and he himself was the child of the family.
Therefore, in the work "Know", Aunt Xiang gave birth to a son, but her life was relatively stable, and it is unclear whether the child Wei's conceived died because she was framed.
It is precisely because Aunt Xiang is a servant of the Wang family, and the Wei family is a woman from a good family and a noble concubine, such a concubine, whether it is Wang Ruofu or Lin Hanshuang, will not like it, in the matter of killing the Wei family, Wang Ruofu and Lin Hanshuang are so unified for the first time.
Because of his own weakness and incompetence, he was calculated by others.
Wei's death was not because of Lin Hanshuang's conspiracy, Wang Ruofu silently accepted it behind her back, but in the end it was also related to her own weakness and incompetence.
In the original book, after Wei's death, two maids mentioned her and mentioned these two sentences in it:
Although Aunt Wei is not very good at poetry and painting, she is not the kind of frivolous woman, she is a very serious person. Not to mention, our Aunt Wei was born very well, young and considerate, and since she entered the door, the master has been very fond of her. She already has a daughter, and if she has another son, it will not be worse than Aunt Lin. ”
Honest is indeed an honest person, but he also seems a little cowardly. In our room, people like to come in, and even the daughter-in-law in the yard dares to calculate against the aunt. Despite her patience, she didn't get a good outcome. ”
These two sentences conceal the real reason behind Wei's death.
The first paragraph describes how deeply Wei won Sheng Hong's heart.
Sheng Hong's special love for her does not need to be as little as Lin Hanshuang, if she also has a boy and a girl's children, then her status in society will definitely surpass Lin Hanshuang.
The content of the second paragraph further reveals that although she has enough resources to suppress Lin Hanshuang, she does not have enough ability to suppress Lin Hanshuang.
Her character is so simple and weak that even her mother-in-law in her own yard can calculate her. However, even though she was the most favored person in the Sheng family and deserved full respect and decent treatment, she was a person who did nothing and made the servants treat her unfairly.
As the saying goes, "Good people are easily deceived." ”
Wei is a representative of this character, whose kind behavior leads to her being bullied by her servants and finally causing her to lose her own life.
In fact, Wei is fully capable of strengthening her influence like Lin Hanshuang through Sheng Hong's special preferences, but as a pawn, she does not have the ability to strengthen her influence.
Nevertheless, it is necessary to strictly manage one's servants and the mother-in-law in the courtyard, to ensure that the three acres of land owned by oneself are not violated, and to strictly abide by the regulations, so that the servants do not dare to do anything wrong.
If she can properly guard her courtyard and manage her mother-in-law properly, then in the absence of Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu, even if Lin Mai Maishuang only wants to cover the sky with one hand, as long as there is a capable mother-in-law and a girl who works for her wholeheartedly in her yard, she may be able to give birth to a child smoothly.
Thanks to Sheng Hong's special affection for her, if she can give birth to a son, her status in society will be significantly improved. In her yard, everyone will enjoy a certain honor. However, she did not have a single person around whom she could be relied upon, so the mothers-in-law did not see her as an important person due to her usual weakness.
During the production of the TV series "Zhong Wei", there was no one in the room, not even a sip of water that he wanted to drink, which was really pitiful and sad. This TV series adaptation perfectly shows the weakness and incompetence of Wei's in the original book.
In the end, her life ended because of Lin Hanshuang's conspiracy, Wang Ruofu's acquiescence, and her own weakness and incompetence. After her death, she left only one child, Sheng Minglan, who lost her mother. In the end, out of pity, the old lady of the Sheng family took Sheng Minglan away and raised her by her side.
Wei was too merciful, and her kindness not only led to her own death, but also took the life of the child in her womb, and her only remaining daughter had to live cautiously in the Sheng family.
In that traditional feudal society, Wei's death was seen as a victim of a feud between wives and concubines, and her sacrifice was insignificant. Her death also reveals how fragile a woman's life as a concubine was in that male-dominated era, and how many victims like Wei were in that era.
Therefore, as a woman, I expect you to have the qualities of kindness, and at the same time, I want your kindness to carry a touch of sharpness.
Sometimes, kindness and concessions alone do not lead to genuine affection, and when the situation calls for it, you should show your sharpness instead of hurting others, so that you can better protect yourself.
