The TV series "Jade Mansion Spring" has aired more than half of its episodes, and although the show has faced a polarization of word-of-mouth from the beginning, the initial performance still left viewers unsatisfied.
However, when I ** the show, I realized that although it had a lot of bugs, it became more and more engaging and fun as time went on.
Driving every day to reduce stress is not bad.
Initially, everyone thought that Yoko Ramu was the joke of this play**, but in the end, what really attracted Xiaoxi's attention was Changlong (Third Master) and Jin Chen (Xu Fengqiao), the partner of "Mouse and Cat".
With an annoying husband and a passion for her career, Xu Fengqiao's life path is destined to be very different from other housekeeping women.
However, it was this unusual circumstance that brought deep tragedy to her life.
That's right, in this well-received TV series full of light-hearted comedy elements, only Xu Fengqiao successfully undertook all the tragic plots of the whole show.
Today, Xiaoxi wants to share with you the story of Xu Fengqiao.
01, the daughter of an official family who was raised by a boy.
Xu Fengqiao's way of appearing on the stage was described in only two words: pungent.
When "Jade Mansion Spring" was first broadcast, it adopted a flashback narrative, and through Sun Yulou's narration, it showed the decline of the Sun family in its heyday.
From Lin Shaochun wearing women's clothes to find Sun Yulou, to introducing the members of the Sun family, this series of processes seemed relatively monotonous, but when the third master and third grandmother were introduced, the whole process suddenly changed.
This is not a harmonious atmosphere, nor is it a deep relationship between husband and wife, but a crisp "pop" sound, the third master knelt directly on the abacus, but was slapped by Xu Fengqiao, and then began to eat red pepper painfully.
The third master ate the spicy chili pepper on the other side of the screen, while Xu Fengqiao next to him watched intently without blinking his eyes.
From this point of view, the interest of Xu Fengqiao's role seems to have increased, and from this point of view, Xu Fengqiao is undoubtedly an "uncertain factor" in this drama.
She was born in the family of Xu Yunhe, a cabinet scholar, and although there were not many male members of the Xu family, Xu Fengqiao was raised as a boy since he was a child.
Surprisingly, her parents spoiled her, and it was not until she was 10 years old that she began to learn from her the rules of Xi aristocratic girls and powerful families.
In ancient times, Xu Fengqiao only began to learn the rules of Xi at the age of 15 and Lu, that is, when she was 10 years old, and she was in stark contrast to Lin Shaochun.
When Lin Shaochun's father met with misfortune, it was clear that she had mastered some of the necessary skills and rules, so she was able to deal with Xu Fengqiao's various challenges with ease.
The tragic fate experienced by Xu Fengqiao is rooted in this.
When she was raised as a boy**, we can almost imagine what her life was like before the age of 10, when she was free-range, uninhibited, spoiled, and willing to give whatever she wanted.
However, because she is not a man, she cannot take the imperial examination as a career goal, nor can she have the ambition to make a career in the battlefield and visit the beautiful natural scenery, so she can only be confined to her home in the name of "raising as a boy".
The battlefield she faced was only her private home from the beginning.
Perhaps, it is for this reason that she has developed a very strong and pungent character, and it can even be said that the word "domineering" is clearly exuded from her body.
She shows a strong determination and deep scheming in all aspects, and such a person, in the family, will either become a ruler, or gradually be marginalized and eventually abandoned.
If she meets a person with a sleek and strong personality, and the two of them have clear job responsibilities: the male protagonist is in charge of foreign affairs, and the female protagonist is in charge of housework, she may live a smooth life, but unfortunately, she is married to the second stunned third master of the Sun family.
02. Choose to marry the most incompetent man in the Sun family.
As mentioned above, Xu Fengqiao was born in a family of cabinet scholars, and her family background and social status are quite prominent. So, why did she choose to marry the Sun family in the end, and chose to marry a man who has nothing to do all day and likes to play tricks on people?
Although this is not explicitly mentioned in the play, it may or may not be mentioned later, but from her cousin Yao Dizhu, it seems that some unknown sides of her can be seen.
In this drama, Yao Dizhu has created a very positive character, whether it is values, outlook on life or love, she is very upright. In her daily life, she likes to hold a book and play chess alone.
She is very adamant about her point of view, whether it is family background, social status, or power and status, she doesn't value it too much, what she really seeks is just a good man who treats her sincerely.
However, let's focus on Xu Fengqiao again, why does Yao Dizhu have the opposite shadow of her?
Growing up, Xu Fengqiao was supposed to have a boyish mind and ambition, but unfortunately, when she was 10 years old, her concept changed and she began to pursue her dream of "becoming a girl".
Neither can be promoted nor demoted, which is really embarrassing, just like the dilemma faced by the third master.
She can't imitate Yao Dizhu's magnanimous character since she was a child, and it is impossible for her to become the kind of person who lives in seclusion, puts her husband first every day, and is thoughtful.
Yao Dizhu pursues a kind of love with full devotion, and what she pursues is to show her social status and strength.
The eldest of the Sun family prefers literature, the second loves martial arts, the third likes to play, and the fourth prefers drama. It can be said that their personalities are very different. But the eldest has a baby parent, and the second child and the first talented girl have become a couple. Because the fourth child is still young, she wants to enter the Sun family, so she can only compromise with the third child.
Judging from the existing situation of the Sun family's residence, she is definitely the best choice to succeed the old lady.
It is undeniable that the ** grandmother always carries a hint of arrogance, while the second grandmother seems indifferent and plays the piano every day. The fourth child is the most favored, and his daughter-in-law's choice and use of scheming are directly related to Xu Fengqiao's future life plan and the predicament she faces.
In fact, although Xu Fengqiao's live broadcast is only half of it, her predicament has revealed obvious problems.
With the encouragement and support of Lin Shaochun, Sun Yulou stepped into the officialdom and became a member of Dali Temple by virtue of his identity as the protagonist of "One Glance and Ten Lines". Among them, the eldest is a member of the Hanlin Academy, the second child obtained military power early, and the third child only focuses on eating, drinking, and researching gadgets every day to please Xu Fengqiao.
If the husband is not productive and the wife is not able to stand up, then the house of the third child of the Sun family will become very bad.
Xu Fengqiao, a woman who was raised as a boy, may be able to show some softer sides. As long as the third master can have a little fighting spirit, but unfortunately, she can't change the third master's decision. She can only rekindle her passion for her career, devote herself to the family struggle, and hold the future of the Sun family firmly in her own hands.
However, Lin Shaochun showed extreme vigilance from the beginning and eventually chose to join the Sun family, which became her main driving force in the struggle for power and interests.
03, the relationship between concubines who can't be integrated.
When Lin Shaochun walked into the house, he found that Yao Dizhu was actually the official spouse of the second master of the Sun family. According to the progress of the storyline, Su Yingxue, the original partner of the second master of the Sun family, is likely to pass away soon.
Regardless of whether the Sun family is in decline or not, the relationship between the Sun family and the concubine will undergo a reorganization, including the first grandmother Wu Yuehong, the second grandmother Yao Dizhu, the third grandmother Xu Fengqiao and the fourth grandmother Lin Shaochun.
This circle of concubines is really interesting.
Initially, Lin Shaochun and Yao Dizhu were rivals in love, but later they became close friends and eventually developed into a concubine relationship.
Previously, Yao Dizhu designed a trap for Lin Shaochun, intended to detect her deep feelings for Sun Yulou. When Lin Shaochun decided to die for Sun Yulou, Yao Dizhu had already shown her most sincere kindness.
Later, Yao Dizhu even gave them some advice, hoping that they could come together, which showed that in addition to the relationship between love rivals, she also had a high opinion of Lin Shaochun.
These two people have a higher consistency in values and love concepts, so when they walk into the house, they are likely to become close girlfriends or concubines.
Observing the relationship between Yao Dizhu and Xu Fengqiao, first of all, the cousin relationship between them, and then Xu Fengqiao's various intrigues and small actions between Lin Shaochun and Sun Yulou, Yao Dizhu knows all this.
She has a deep understanding of Xu Fengqiao's methods and ambitions, and she also understands her ruthlessness. The two are very different in their thoughts and concepts. Therefore, although Yao Dizhu and Xu Fengqiao are cousins, she has always maintained a polite and responsible attitude.
From her short time with the Sun family and her behavior when she left, we can clearly feel that it is impossible for her and Xu Fengqiao to be completely consistent.
Then, we turned to ** milk Wu Yuehong, although she didn't seem to be so close in any way, but in fact, she did observe with her eyes, and the closeness to Xu Fengqiao was not high.
In contrast, the background in which she grew up made her personality more cheerful, frank, and even a little cute, making her thinking more concise.
However, Yao Dizhu's personality is more inclined towards things and things that are honest and selfless, open and transparent. Although she is Xi to the power struggle at home, a simple person like Wu Yuehong is actually more in line with her dating standards.
Lin Shaochun's upbringing background is similar, she grew up in the city, has been dealing with dramas since she was a child, and often meets some people with complex personalities. Therefore, for those who are simple and have no scheming, she is more inclined to invest in sincere feelings.
In other words, the four daughters-in-law of the Sun family are likely to cause the third grandmother, Xu Fengqiao, to form an opposition to Lin Shaochun, Yao Dizhu and Wu Yuehong alone.
Similar to the concubine relationship of the Sun family, Xu Fengqiao was excluded.
No matter how wise and capable Xu Fengqiao is, when faced with the "three clever stinkers", she feels helpless. What's even more surprising is that Xu Fengqiao will do whatever it takes to get something, but in the eyes of those three, she may not be taken seriously.
People like Xu Fengqiao have actually lost the game, and no matter how you look at it, she is not a winner.
Not to mention the decline of the Sun family in the later period, the members of the Sun family faced more difficulties, while the other three members and a motivated husband were all supporting her, so what was the point of her?
The last part of the article.
Why does Xiaoxi claim that she is the protagonist of the tragedy of the whole play?
In fact, in the whole play, Xu Fengqiao is the most prominent one in character building, and she has good reasons and evidence in the character's thinking mode, behavior drive and character building.
Sadly, she was expected differently from a young age. Initially, she had expectations for a "boy", but then she hoped that she would be able to regain her identity as a girl and be a good husband and child. I want to understand that the relationship between her and the third master is a combination of family power. However, although the third master has a sweet appearance, he actually did not give her much support, but inspired her "dedication". Eventually, the relationship between the two concubines becomes complicated, always excluding others, and completely ignoring the psychological trauma caused by the excluded person.
Obviously, according to the progress of the storyline, Xu Fengqiao has become the marginalized party. Although she did all kinds of actions that made people feel injustice for her, she did suffer these injustices in silence.
