In the finale of the first season of "Sword in the Snow", Xu Fengnian chose to release Zhao Kai at the head of Emperor Wu's city, and his real purpose was to use Zhao Kai to attract the attention of Han Mink Temple.
At that particular moment, the four siblings gathered together, and the villains Tu Chen Zhibao and Nangong Servant also rushed to help, and they teamed up to successfully eliminate Han Diao Temple. After this, they were killed together under the horse. Except for the eldest sister Xu Zhihu, the others were all dressed in white clothes. This time, let's take a look at why she is the only one dressed in black. In those days of revenge for her mother, why was only the eldest sister Xu Zhihu wearing bright red clothes?
The truth hidden behind the eldest sister wearing red clothes is so touching that people cry.
This drama touched my emotions many times, but this episode not only made me feel heartache for Xu Zhihu, but also made me deeply respect her noble sentiments.
1 The red dress was chosen by Xu Zhihu at a critical moment, in order to avenge his mother, this day is something he will never forget.
Xu Feng visited Jiangnan when she was young and had a brief relationship with her sister. When he first set foot in the Jiangnan area, he heard that someone had made false accusations against his eldest sister. So, he instructed Wei Shuyang to go to Lu's house first, while he went directly to find Liu Liting. After inquiring about the ins and outs of the whole incident, he pulled Liu Liting to the back of the carriage and marched along the way, severely reprimanding his sister Xu Zhihu.
At that moment, Xu Xiao had already made all the preparations, as long as Xu Fengnian caused a commotion in the Lu family and made Emperor Liyang understand the contradictions between the Lu family and the Xu family, their plan could be realized.
However, Xu Fengnian did not want to choose the path that Xu Xiao carefully chose for him. He is fully capable of causing a disturbance in the Lu family, which is not a difficult thing for him. He is fully capable of leaving gracefully after a big conflict with the Lu family, but what should his eldest sister do in the future?
Since the eldest sister is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, the Lu family will undoubtedly vent their dissatisfaction with her. She is a principled woman, she doesn't like people to call her a "female killer", and she doesn't want to see herself killed, she just hopes that she can survive to the end. This is not the scenario Xu Fengnian wanted to see. He wanted to find a way. He was looking for a different path, one that avoided killings and reduced losses.
According to his preferences, the seventh master of the Lu family planned a debate competition for him in Baoguo Temple, and it is expected that the students in Jiangnan will participate in this debate. This is an opportunity. Lu Qiye has his own intentions. That is to give his son a chance to prove that he is a real reader, and not one of those so-called "nerds". However, his actions were fully in line with Xu Fengnian's expectations.
That day, when Xu Fengnian was about to go to Baoguo Temple, Xu Zhihu, who had always been wearing plain clothes, asked the maid to change into a red costume for him.
She told the maid that this red dress was her favorite. She hopes that her brother can be pampered and protected by her, and she hopes that his brother will have a happy family. She would only wear it when it mattered, and she expected her brother to remember her best looks. She hopes that her brother can become an emperor in the true sense of the word. She knows that her illness cannot be a**, and she only hopes that her younger brother can leave Jiangnan without worry and confidence. She longs for fate to give her more time and the chance to witness her brother become the leader of the starlings in person.
At that moment, Xu Zhihu had realized that his life was coming to an end.
This time, Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong came by boat together, and the two sisters stood side by side at the front of the boat, although the younger sister Xu Weixiong was wearing dark clothes, Xu Zhihu was still wearing bright red clothes. By the time the boat arrived at its destination, both of them were drenched in sweat. She expressed the opinion that although she was not proficient in martial arts, she must not miss the moment of revenge for her mother.
Their mother Wu Su has been dead for many years, and Xu Xiao forced himself to swallow this breath for the stability of the country, but Xu Fengnian is different from his father, he wants both the stability of the country and revenge.
For many years, he has been searching for the real cause of his mother's death. Because after his father's death, his mother's health was not good, she was often sick in bed, and she often needed to be cared for, and he was very worried about whether she would be killedThis time, he finally understands who killed his mother. He summoned his sister and brother from all directions, knowing full well that his mother's death was also an obstacle that he and his sister could not overcome.
Their mother, the princess of the North Starling, a rare genius in the Wu family's sword mound for a hundred years, was ambushed in the capital, she was seriously injured and returned to the North Starling, hiding her assassination from her husband Xu Xiao for the sake of the stability of the country.
For many years, the death of their mother has been a thorn in the hearts of the Xu brothers and sisters. Therefore, the day of revenge for the mother is undoubtedly the most critical day. Although Xu Zhihu is not proficient in martial arts, she still decided to come in person, in order to witness the real ** of her mother's murder and cheer for her younger brothers and sisters.
2. The purpose of wearing red is to avoid making her younger brothers and sisters worry about her.
Xu Zhihu suffers from qi and blood deficiency, which is not qi and blood deficiency in the general sense. Her qi and blood are consumed faster than ordinary people, and Xu Fengnian also revealed Xu Zhihu's health status to Jiang Ni.
The eldest sister's breath of life is like a flame that will never be extinguished. When the flame of her life is gradually extinguished, it is not a disease, but her flame of life burns more quickly. No matter how much medicine she took, she couldn't recover, it only made the flame burn faster until it completely exhausted the last of her vitality. ”
Xu Fengnian knows this well, and Xu Zhihu himself knows it tooShe was a very ordinary woman, and in those days, there was nothing more qualified to be called a "talented woman". When Xu Fengnian said that she wanted to take her back to the North Starling, she smiled and responded: Sister, please wait.
In fact, she knows inside her heart that her body won't last long. In order not to worry Xu Fengnian too much, she tried to soothe his emotions with sweet words.
Xu Fengnian clearly understood that his sister was hiding the truth in order not to worry him, so he deliberately pretended not to know.
When I read this text, I was deeply moved, for the deep affection between their siblings, for Xu Zhihu's ill-fated beauty, and for her noble morality.
Despite her perfect makeup, her body still looked a little weak. Wearing red would slightly enhance her complexion and make her younger brothers and sisters less worried about her.
When Xu Fengnian was about to leave, she wore a bright red costume as a send-off, hoping that her brother would remember her best side. Her heart hurts, but she persevered until the last moment. This time, her thoughts were still the same.
She realizes that her life is coming to an end, and after this meeting, the distance between North Starling and Jiangnan has become so far that she may never have the chance to meet again, and she hopes that her brother and sister will remember the best in her.
After the death of his mother, Xu Zhihu became the pillar and support of his younger brothers and sisters. A few days before her mother's death, she had been in good health, but her mother's condition was getting worse. On this special day, she wants to cheer for her mother, but she doesn't want to see her younger siblings see her haggard face, she hopes that her younger siblings can always remember her best appearance.
However, after all, this is a day of revenge for his mother, and Xu Zhihu has also put a lot of effort into the choice of clothing.
3She wears a white hairband around her head, and she wears a white garment inside her body.
Although Xu Zhihu was forced to wear the red dress she brought from her parents' house due to physical reasons, she was worried that there would be no chance of reunion on such a day. She chose to wear red not only so as not to worry her siblings, but also to make the best impression on them. From the bottom of her heart, she hopes that her mother under Jiuquan can also see that she is doing well.
However, after all, this is a moment of revenge for her mother, and even her mother's righteous son Chen Zhibao came to take revenge in plain white clothes, as her biological daughter, how could she not have any expression?
Xu Zhihu's hair is white, and similarly, the inside of the red coat is also white.
When we saw the clothes she was wearing, we had to express our admiration for the lady's intentions. Not only does she have to hide her haggard and sick appearance from her younger siblings, but she also has to wear red clothes to cover it up. More importantly, she wants to tell her deceased mother that her daughter will come to visit her brothers and sisters and ask them to avenge her.
In the TV series, there are not many shots of Wu Su, the princess of the North Starling, but from her many subtleties, we can understand her true character.
She was originally a rare genius in the Wu family's sword mound in a hundred years, but for the sake of Xu Xiao, she chose to leave her family. She loves him, but is suspicious because of who she is and who she is. She is a kind-hearted person, and when she saw a few years old, she used the hairpin on her head to provide her with food and warmth, and also exchanged for a loyal bodyguard for her son Xu Fengnian.
In the process of Xu Fengnian's second outing, the girl reached out many times. At the most dangerous moment, Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master Zhao Xuansu attempted to assassinate Xu Fengnian, so he handed over his true qi and calamity to Xu Fengnian, and it was the hehe girl who reversed the calamity to herself.
The peach blossom sword god Deng Tai'a was her distant cousin, she had a meal of kindness to him, the grace of martial arts, and many years later, Deng Tai'a repaid the kindness to Xu Fengnian.
She treats her righteous son as her own child, so the villain Tu Chen Zhibao also rushed here to avenge her.
Shakespeare once stated that mercy is not the result of compulsion, but descends from heaven to earth like a rain, bringing happiness not only to those who receive it, but also to those who give it.
Wu Su's past favors to others were finally thanked by her son. She used her own way to make her son feel the warmth and strength of family affection. This represents her deep compassion for others, but also the support she unknowingly provides to her son.
In ancient times, it was often mentioned that the debt owed by the father was also repaid by the son. This group of people actually passed on Wu Su's kindness to Xu Fengnian.
Thanks to Wu Su's kindness and deep kindness to others, she has the good luck of her son Xu Fengnian, which is a causal connection. As our ancestors said, good deeds are rewarded.
She was ambushed in the capital and returned to the North Starling after being wounded. She warned Xu Xiao that he might break into the Liyang Imperial City when he was unwell, but she firmly disagreed, because she didn't want the newly stable world to suffer another disaster. She wants to return everything in this world to the people and let them live a happy and stable life, because she knows that only in this way can she ensure her own safety, otherwise she will be irresponsible to the people. Compared with her personal grievances, she is more eager to see ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment.
Therefore, she chose to keep the fact of Xu Xiao's assassination secret from Xu Xiao, and did not reveal the truth to Xu Xiao until the last moment of her life. "I don't know if I'm really wrong. At that time, Xu Xiao had become a father of four children, and he was no longer as carefree as he was when he was young. Only by taking this factor into account will Wu Su reveal it to Xu Xiao.
Her wisdom, her contribution to the country and the people, coupled with Xu Xiao's wisdom and courage, have made their children influenced by her from an early age, and their minds and visions are no different from those of their parents. They received a good family education from an early age, and they studied in school from primary school to middle school, and only began to be exposed to social practice when they entered university. With them like this, how can the future of the starling not prosper?
The relationship between the brothers and sisters of the Xu family is deep.
Xu Xiao once shared this opinion with Xu Fengnian: If your eldest sister marries into Jiangnan, and the second sister chooses to go to the Yin School Palace, this is completely their choice, they would rather give up their lives to lay a solid foundation for the North Starling. They all share a common wish - to make contributions to their hometown. They all hope to provide shelter for their younger brother and ensure that he can take over the work of the North Starling smoothly.
The eldest sister Xu Zhihu even did not hesitate to be maliciously slandered for the sake of her younger brother and received a bad reputation. In order to let Jiang Ni understand Xu Fengnian's advantages, the second sister was willing to play the role of the vicious sister-in-law.
Xu Fengnian went to Wudang, hoping that Huang Man'er could return with him. Huang Man'er refused because his father told him that if he went back, it might cause trouble for his brother. If I lose my strength, my brother won't be in trouble.
Huang Man'er realized that she no longer had the strength to help her brother, and she would rather her strength be taken away by others. Every day he would go to the mountains to pick some fruit and come back. He understood his brother's love for hawthorns, so he stood under the hawthorn tree every day and looked forward to the maturity of the hawthorns.
Whenever I see the deep affection between their siblings, my eyes are filled with tears. They are the happiest couple in our family. Xu Fengnian's ability to finally become the king of the North Starling is largely related to the efforts and dedication of her sister and younger brother.
It is precisely because of a father like Xu Xiao and a mother like Wu Su that they have those four brothers and sisters full of affection. Xu Weixiong and Huang Man'er's sacrifice for Xu Fengnian deeply moved us, and Xu Zhihu's sacrifice for Xu Fengnian also made us heartache for this female ** while we were moved.
The woman in red was weak and did not know martial arts, and because she could not help her brother elsewhere, she chose to abandon her marriage and go to Jiangnan to marry for her brother. After he left his hometown, her sister also left, but she regarded her sister as a relative. Xu Fengnian has such a sister full of affection, how can she let her efforts and sacrifices be in vain?
After understanding Xu Zhihu in red, we can also understand how the Xu family revived the North Starling.
