15 years ago, when I ** the TV series "The Family of Gold Powder", my favorite was not the two heroines Leng Qingqiu and Bai Xiuzhu, but Jin Meili, who was the youngest sister of the Jin family.
Maybe it's because the actor who plays Shu Chang has always been a big fan of me, or maybe it's because this little sister's personality is the most similar to what I did when I was younger.
However, the feeling of ** drama 15 years ago and immersion in books 15 years later is very different. At that time, I was still in elementary school. In the past, I only thought that Jin Xiaomei was an innocent child, but when I read the original book deeply, I realized that she was actually an underrated treasure girl.
Despite being favored, he is not an orthodox heir.
Merry's appearance is like an angel sent to earth by heaven.
She wears a dance dress with white wide sleeves, her hair is unkempt, her hands are tightly grasping willow branches, and she constantly hangs her feet in the air, as if swinging on a swing. ”
The spring sun is just right, the grass is lush, the warblers are singing, the fragrance of flowers is permeated, this is the day of the willows in the north, the white dance clothes, the green willow leaves, fresh and elegant, transcendent.
In this particular scene, Merry swings alone and lives a carefree life, as if she were an elf.
Not to mention, her own appearance is very striking and she is often dressed as a doll, full of innocence and energy, and the whole family has a deep affection for her.
Yanxi is very close to her age, so at home, she often plays with Yanxi, whether it is flying kites, playing tennis or fighting crickets, she can do well.
Even though Merry is over fifteen years old, the other siblings spoil her and bring her candy every time they come home.
From this point of view, Merry may be the most favored child in the family, but in reality, she is the only child of eight siblings.
In ancient society, the relationship between concubines and concubines was different, the elder brother and sister were both children of Mrs. Jin, while Mei Li was born to the second aunt Ho.
Although the Kim family advocated a new type of family structure that emphasized that everyone should be treated equally, and Mrs. Kim also showed a high degree of closeness to Kim Meili, Mei Li knew that her social status was not the same.
Ho, her biological mother, was Mrs. King's personal maid. But because she had personally taken care of Jin Quan's illness, her personality became very honest and responsible, which is why the powerful Mrs. Jin promoted her to the second aunt.
However, in front of Mrs. Kim, Ho never regarded himself as an equal, but always showed a humble and humble attitude, and even when educating his daughter Mei Li, he always regarded Mrs. Kim as the most respectable person.
No matter how sluggish Merry was, she knew that at that time, her mother had a low status and could not achieve the same social status as her brothers and sisters.
Therefore, she seems to be scheming on the surface, but in fact she is very cautious and careful.
First of all, it is about the protection of Yanxi.
Mei Li may not have noticed it herself, but she seems to be protecting Yanxi intentionally or unintentionally.
Once, Yanxi forgot her birthday, and only recalled it after being reminded by her family, but she was jokingly said by someone and felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Mei Li was also present, and she hurriedly responded: "Someone has indeed forgotten." I don't know about the others, but I told them myself that it was after the four sessions mentioned earlier that I remembered it. When I said that, I became a forgotten person. ”
Maybe Mei Li didn't realize it herself, but she was inadvertently talking about the brother who was closest to her. This is what we usually call "sisterhood"."Sisterhood" is ubiquitous in our daily lives. There is some original intent in this, but who can say that there is no pandering element at all?
Second, don't want to be in the spotlight.
Mei Li shares the same views as her mother, Ho, and she doesn't want to be in the spotlight in front of so many people. She felt that she was a very ordinary girl, and there was nothing particularly to attract attention. Despite his eye-catching appearance, it's just a joke between him and those closest to him at home.
Once, her schoolmate held a wedding and invited her to be a bridesmaid. Mei Li resolutely didn't want to go alone, afraid of embarrassment in front of everyone, and finally gave up when she went with Xiao Lian.
Thirdly, I don't dare to squander my money.
The young heirs of the Kim family are all spendthrifts, while the young ladies are relatively more frugal. If it weren't for their bad habit of spending, they wouldn't have spent much money.
However, compared to other young ladies, Merry's annual expenses can almost be described by the word "zero".
At the end of a certain year, Feng Ju went to the account office to check the annual expenses due to financial losses, and finally found such a bill.
In the name of the uncle, there is a total amount of 2,680 yuan.
Under the command of the second master, the amount was three hundred and sixty-eight yuan.
Under the budget of the third master, the amount is five hundred and five yuan.
Under Miss Four's budget, the amount was $2,702.
Under Miss Five's budget, the amount is $212.
Under Miss Six's budget, the amount is $190.
Under the budget of the seventh master, the amount is 1,350 yuan.
Under Miss Eight's entry, the amount is fifty-eight dollars.
When Fourth Miss Daozhi was preparing for Yanxi and Qingqiu's wedding ceremony, the cost was obvious, which widened the gap between Mei Li and Sixth Miss Runzhi, who spent the least, by more than three times.
The cost of fifty-eight yuan is almost the same as the cost of an ordinary family, is this Mrs. Jin deducting Mei Li's expenses?It's not like that, but Mei Li knows that as the daughter of a concubine, she shouldn't bear too many unnecessary expenses from the youngest age.
So I would say that even though Merry was only fifteen years old and was spoiled by her parents and brothers, she was still able to clearly recognize who she was.
Instead of being overly arrogant or using her power to bully others, she chose to follow the rules and successfully played the role of an innocent little sister, thus winning the hearts of every member of the family.
Despite his young age, he has his own opinions.
Melly is absolutely unoffensive to her family, but that doesn't mean she lacks independent perspectives and positions.
In contrast, the young girl is particularly firm in her opinions, has strong emotions, and attaches great importance to affection.
Remember that time, Merry. Yanxi and Xiuzhu go to Xishan together, where they happen to meet Yanxi's friend Miss Wuji.
Dressed in a single cheongsam in gold velvet and with black rhinestone braids on her head, she enjoyed beer and ice cream with two Western men.
After seeing Misiu, Sujoo commented, "Misiu does know how to dress herself. When he's with friends in China, he puts on a suit;And when he is with foreign friends, he will wear traditional Chinese clothes. ”
This sentence is obviously not a compliment or praise, but an implicit expression of contempt, and at the same time, it is also to find out what Yanxi thinks of Miss Wuer.
However, Merry did not hesitate to say, "Just like the goblins, I really don't like her." ”
The expression is clear and direct, without any superfluous embellishments, like is like, dislike is dislike, there are not so many twists and turns
In fact, Mei Li's judgment of people is very accurate, Miss Uji is like a chicken, she earns the living expenses she needs by providing services to men, especially those who are very wealthy and influential abroad.
Mei Li initially had a deep affection for Xiuzhu, as the two families had a deep friendship, and at that time, Xiuzhu was regarded by everyone as the seventh young grandmother.
However, it was this trip to West Mountain that made Mei Li's impression of Xiuzhu change.
Xiuzhu deliberately pointed at Miss Wuji and tried to test Yanxi's reaction, but Yanxi couldn't control herself and said a few words of praise for Miss Wuji, which made Xiuzhu very angry.
Although Mei Li tried her best to mediate, the two were still unwilling to reconcile, and Xiuzhu was so angry that she even left in Liu Baoshan's car.
From then on, Mei Li began to resentfully Su-joo, believing that Su-joo was too selfish, so she gradually distanced herself from her.
Merry was not moved by the people she didn't like;However, for the person she loves, Merry unreservedly gives her heart and soul.
She has a deep love for Seventh Brother's wife, Leng Qingqiu, although they have not known each other for a long time and do not have much intersection in daily life, Mei Li's feelings for her are heartfelt and full of respect for her.
When the two entered the palace of marriage, Mei Li served as Qingqiu's maidess, and the two were quite close in age, so they immediately developed a sense of closeness.
Qingqiu, with her low-key and intimate personality, shows sincere emotions to Mei Li, which is difficult for Mei Li to understand
Therefore, after the relationship between Qingqiu and Yanxi broke down, Mei Li always accompanied Qingqiu.
During that period, Mei Li talked to Qing Qiu, and it was Mei Li who came out for Qing Qiu, and it was Mei Li who burst into tears after learning that Qing Qiu might die in the fire.
Although she appears weak and ignorant on the surface, her heart is full of clear love and hate, and she is like a snow lotus on top of an iceberg, beautiful and delicate, while maintaining freedom and independence.
Despite the gradual decline of his family's fortunes, he still found true happiness.
This young woman, who is both beautiful and resilient, it seems that her fate has not yet fully unfolded.
By the time he was fifteen years old, his home was still full of gold and laughterBy the age of sixteen, the family's financial situation had plummeted, and the high-rise building was about to collapse.
Jin Quan's death led to the disintegration of the entire family, which was almost impossible to sustain.
Everyone is thinking about how to continue their lives, how to get more family property, and who will take this mascot-like little eighth sister seriously.
Brothers and sisters-in-law eventually have male family members and are therefore able to earn money to support the familyAlthough the younger siblings do not have a female husband, they can also earn money to support the family, so they also have men. Mrs. Kim is not only the head of the Kim family, but also responsible for the distribution of the family's property. So, they all have a mother, and each of them has two mothers. Merry had only one mother, who was not very capable and could not support the family financially because she had not yet completed her education.
So, how should she cope?A young woman in the mood for love, but her future is full of darkness.
As the saying goes, it is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality. Although Merry is accustomed to a lavish lifestyle, she does not feel self-pity because of the change in family background.
Unable to withstand the tremendous pressure, her mother chose to end her own life, and it was she who was there for her, cared for her, and gave her hope.
Yanxi and Qingqiu decided to divorce due to a property dispute, and Mei Li came forward to persuade them, bringing them comfort.
When Mrs. King lived alone in the West Hill Villa, Merry's occasional visits brought her a touch of joy and comfort.
Such a beautiful woman deserves a happy love.
In fact, at Yanxi's wedding ceremony, the goddess of love has already developed a strong interest in her, that is, the male bridesmaid - Xie Yushu.
Although he was born into a poor family and his family's economic conditions were not superior, he was a diligent learner, hard-working and good-looking man.
The most important point is that his crush on Merry is wholeheartedly, and such a relationship is both innocent and beautiful.
At the end of the story, even though the two have not yet come together, I firmly believe that the deep affection between them that does not involve money may be more sincere and lasting.
