In the twentieth episode of Dream of Red Mansions, there was a small turmoil, and in retrospect, it was Wang Xifeng who was talking about jealousy, and it was that Sister Feng happened to pass by Aunt Zhao's window and heard Aunt Zhao insulting Jia Huan, so she took the opportunity to reprimand Jia Huan, pointing out that Sang scolded Aunt Zhao and beat Aunt Zhao down, and Aunt Zhao didn't dare to squeak when she was angry.
When many readers read this section, they will have such questions, Aunt Zhao is Jia Zheng's concubine, and Jia Zheng is Wang Xifeng's uncle.
As a junior, why did Wang Xifeng dare to reprimand her nominal elder Aunt Zhao in public?She is not afraid that Aunt Zhao will sue Jia ZhengIsn't Jiafu the most courteous?Why does it happen that a junior reprimands an elder?
In fact, many people ignore the fact that before Aunt Zhao was Wang Xifeng's elder, first of all, she was Jia Zheng's concubine, in ancient times, the status of concubines was very embarrassing, saying that the master was not the master, saying that it was a slave was not a slave, that is, the existence of a half-slave and a half-master.
This is also the fundamental reason why Wang Xifeng dared to reprimand Aunt Zhao, in ancient times, first talk about background, and then talk about others.
According to the original text, Aunt Zhao should have been the son of Jiafu before she became Jia Zheng's concubine, what is a family child?It is the child born to the slaves of Jiafu, like the mandarin duck in the dream of the Red Mansion, which is the son of the Jiafu family.
Her parents were slaves of Jiafu, and in her generation, they were still slaves of Jiafu. A family that has been a slave for generations, you can imagine how lowly her identity is.
Look at Wang Xifeng again, she is the daughter of the Jinling Wang family in the four major families, not to mention facing Aunt Zhao, that is, facing Jia Lian, facing You and others, Wang Xifeng also has to show off his sense of superiority from noble background from time to time.
Therefore, in ancient times when her background was greater than everything, even if Aunt Zhao was Jia Zheng's concubine, Wang Xifeng dared to take out the master's money, and because of her humble background, Aunt Zhao naturally did not dare to fight back.
In fact, not only Aunt Zhao, but also Mrs. Xing and You Shi, they are both serious ladies, but because they are continuations, their identities in Jiafu are also somewhat embarrassing, and neither of them dares to persuade their husbands, except to be obedient, or to turn a blind eye, they have no choice.
This is also one of the reasons why Wang Xifeng, as a daughter-in-law, dares to fool her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing, many times. Although Mrs. Xing is Jia Yu's wife, she is only a continuation of the string, and in terms of background, she naturally cannot be compared with Wang Xifeng.
His step-mother-in-law Wang Xifeng didn't pay attention to it, let alone Aunt Zhao, who had a son from a family. If it weren't for hearing Aunt Zhao reprimand Jia Huan, it is estimated that Wang Xifeng would feel that he was wasting his time even taking care of Aunt Zhao.
Of course, in addition to her background, there is another very important reason, Aunt Zhao is a walking joke in Jiafu, and she is the master that everyone does not want to see, because she has nothing to do all day long, and she has never stopped making trouble everywhere.
Wang Xifeng, as the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, must hate this aunt who tosses blindly all day long, but many times there is nothing she can do, on the one hand, she is her uncle Jia Zheng's concubine after all, no matter how humble her status is, she cannot be treated as a maid.
On the other hand, she said that in the end, she is still the biological mother of the third girl Tanchun, if Sister Feng really knocks Aunt Zhao down, or designs to give her some color to see, in the end, it may not be Aunt Zhao's mother and son who will be hurt the most, but Tanchun, a good girl that Sister Feng respects.
Moreover, Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's maiden niece after all, and her identity is also decided, she can't touch Aunt Zhao, otherwise it will bring trouble to Mrs. Wang, and those who don't know think that Mrs. Wang secretly instructed it, so the relationship between Mrs. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang is bound to be affected.
But Aunt Zhao is really too disagreeable, she can't do it without a beating, just this time, she scolded Jia Huan's words, it is estimated that no one can bear it.
Not only is her scolding unpleasant, the key is that she is not simply scolding her son, but she is hateful, and insinuating that she even brought in Baoyu and Baochai, who are such shrewd people, of course they can hear the meaning of Aunt Zhao's words.
Think about it, what would Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang think if they heard this?Even if they don't care, but Aunt Xue's family is a guest in Jiafu after all, Aunt Zhao is so abusive, if Aunt Xue and Baochai listen to it, isn't this Jiafu snubbing guests?
And at this time, it was still the first month, and during the New Year, Jia Mu and others were happy, but Aunt Zhao was doing things and spraying feces all over her mouth, which disturbed everyone's good mood, and Wang Xifeng, as a housekeeper, of course would not sit idly by.
What's more, Aunt Zhao's embarrassing identity, although Jia Huan was raised by her side, but when it comes to teaching, it is not Aunt Zhao's turn to point fingers, and there are old men and wives in front of her. It is estimated that Sister Feng has also endured Aunt Zhao for a long time, and finally seized a good opportunity, so she naturally had to teach her a good lesson.
