At the time of "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds", I always thought that Mrs. Niu was a very good character.
Although she only appears directly in one chapter, she does have an impact on the direction of the book as a whole.
How so?One sentence in this book can basically be summed up:
She is an ambitious, but actually very capable woman. ”
How great is Mrs. Niu's "ability"?Just look at her spouse and children to understand.
This official wife is very thoughtful in handling interpersonal relationships.
In the chapter where Mrs. Niu appears, chapter 10 describes the wedding ceremony of Manniang and Pingya.
At that time, she was talking to Mrs. Zeng, Mrs. Yao, and Manniang's mother, and her words were full of praise: "Mrs. Yao, I am really happy, how can you have two such beautiful daughters?".One glance at them filled my heart with joy. ”
Anyone would be ecstatic when such words are uttered. When Mulan's mother heard the news, her heart was filled with joy and she immediately adopted a humble attitude, thus quickly shortening the distance between her and Mrs. Yao.
However, this was only the prologue, and then, with a tone of "good for you", she began to evaluate the two daughters of the Yao family.
In the context of this new era, raising a daughter is indeed a difficult task. When they graduate and declare that they want to freely choose their marriage and become new academic leaders, how can the world be called beautiful?”
Although the triary appeared to be incomparably ignorant of the depravity of female virtue, he was in fact secretly accusing Mrs. Yao's two daughters. She wanted them to go to school. Although both daughters are well-educated and talented, in Mrs. Niu's eyes, a woman without talent is virtuous, and such a girl is not a good girl.
When you step on someone else's daughter, you should praise your daughter Suyun.
She was very agile in her movements – tightly wrapped around her feet.
In the late Qing Dynasty, due to the unstable political situation, foot binding gradually lost its popularity. People are looking for style and comfort, and feet are no exception, and more and more women are wearing high heels and sandals to show off their personality. However, judging by the traditional beliefs of many people, they still tend to objectify women, believing that small feet are the embodiment of beauty.
Therefore, Niu Suyun has this expression: "Although my feet are no longer wrapped now, I always try to make them grow big enough. ”
He once said that while on the surface it seems to be complimenting others, in essence he is boasting about himself. Talking halfway through and talking about the other half is like telling a lie, and people can't listen to it. Despite this, his words are unabashed, making it difficult to find out the mistakes and can only be silently endured.
The lady known as "Mazuma" has the ability to train her husband".
Mrs. Niu also has an alias, that is, "Ma Zupo".
Mazupo is a female bodhisattva in Zen Buddhism who has extensive supernatural powers and endless dharma. Mrs. Niu's family name is Ma, and when she heard this name, she naturally felt very happy in her heart.
She was given such a title, which is indeed worthy of her name, because her ability is truly "unparalleled".
Mrs. Niu's spouse is the minister of the degree branch appointed by the Qing Dynasty, he is greedy and fat, but he does not have a drop of ink in his stomach.
How can such an individual be promoted to a senior **?
Of course, this is all because there is a "virtuous and virtuous helper".
The book mentions:
Not only did she succeed in training her husband, but she also helped him gain higher power and status, and gradually rise through the ranks. Isn't her husband a harmless, honest and trustworthy person?Hasn't she amassed a great fortune for him?Didn't that cause her to cause an uproar in Beijing?Her husband was in front of her, didn't he dare to claim that his cousin could become the minister of the branch because he was married to a scholar?”
Mrs. Niu is indeed a good manipulator, and through her own operation, she has made her husband outstanding.
What's even more surprising is that Niu Da didn't realize that his success was brought about by his wife, and he mistakenly thought that it was because of his weight gain, so he was particularly lucky.
Mrs. Niu didn't say much, on the contrary, she felt joy in her heart for her husband's success and her own becoming an influential official wife.
Mrs. Niu is not only good at dancing, she also has the wisdom to get rich.
Since Mr. Niu was an important minister in the imperial court, Mrs. Niu founded a money bank, and thanks to this connection, the money bank's business prospered.
About the exact nature of the money, everyone knows it.
This is a well-designed business person for kids.
Mrs. Niu not only wants her husband to get ahead, she also wants her son to get ahead and her daughter to get ahead.
She has a total of three children, including two boys and one girl.
The eldest son Huaiyu is only nineteen years old, the second son Dongyu is seventeen years old, and the daughter Suyun is fifteen years old, these are all suitable ages for marriage.
In order to ensure that the children can get ahead and keep the Niu family in a stable position, the most direct and practical way is through kissing.
Both sons have already chosen daughters from powerful families, and Su Yun's marriage plan has also been carefully planned by her.
This time I attended the wedding ceremony of Pingya and Manniang, on the one hand, to show etiquette, and on the other hand, to choose a suitable son-in-law.
She has the observation ability of "clairvoyance and ears", and always pays close attention to every movement of the two children of the Zeng family.
She observes that although Sunya is young, energetic, and well-liked, her personality is too distinct, so she is prone to trouble as an official;
Jingya has shown great docile ability, he is "calm and cautious, has a shy and timid disposition, and is not prone to causing trouble." ”
Therefore, she quickly chose Jingya for her daughter, convinced that her daughter would have a successful career if she followed him, adding additional support to the Niu family.
Under her careful guidance and the children's continued influence, the three children have indeed achieved "healthy and rapid growth".
As the eldest son, Niu Huaiyu is not only good at strategy calculation, but also has a deep understanding of current affairs. After the Kuomintang ** came to power, he found a warlord as support, but after the Japanese took control of China, he decisively joined the camp of the Japanese and became a big traitor.
Niu Dongyu is the second son, his power is quite domineering, he especially likes to play other people's tricks, and once he finishes playing, he will be abandoned.
However, Mrs. Niu holds the view that all this is taken for granted, because in their Niu family, this is a superior position.
Niu Suyun is also a person with a very young lady's temperament and a strong sense of jealousy, and she is always willing to compete with Mulan.
It is for this reason that she could not stand the mediocre talent and cowardly character of her husband Jingya and finally made the decision to betray.
Why do I call Mrs. Niu the hidden boss of this book?
If you want to discuss the villain characters designed in this book. The first was a warlord, the second was a Japanese.
In that historical period, the former was regarded as a rebel of the times, while the latter was an aggressor who caused harm to the Chinese nation.
Among them, the Niu family has always played a role of boost.
Putting aside Niu Sidao for the time being, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Niu family also fell.
Niu Dongyu not only confiscated all the **'s belongings before, but also abducted women and polluted nuns, and was finally sentenced to beheading.
Despite this, the Niu family has not completely disappeared from the dust of history, and a careful review of the subsequent events shows that the Niu family did not participate in it
First, Liv was arrested.
Kong Lifu's ** became a crucial turning point in the book, symbolizing the current growing political tensions. The once comfortable life is about to fade, and freedom of speech will no longer exist.
Behind Lifu**, it is likely that Niu Huaiyu is behind the ghost.
Because of the many despicable things that happened between Niu Huaiyu and his aunt Yingying, Lifu chose the best way to describe them. Although their names are not used, it is known that the protagonist of the story is none other than Niu Huaiyu.
Therefore, Niu Huaiyu was resentful and used his position under the command of the warlord to put on small shoes for Lifu.
This incident also indirectly led to the migration of the Mochou family and the Mulan family to the south.
Secondly, there is the aggressive act of Japan.
In the next volume of the book, the situation becomes increasingly difficult to manage. Whether it's a warlord or an appetizer, the real staple food is the Japanese.
When they arrived in China, every place they passed through was subjected to heavy bombing, ** and plunder.
In the "sweeping" operation of the Japanese, Manniang was brutally killed because she could not bear the humiliation, and her daughter-in-law and grandson were also subjected to the ** of the Japanese, leaving only her adopted son Ah Xuan to survive in this world.
At the moment, Niu Huaiyu is busy playing for the Japanese.
In addition to these, the Japanese also carried out a lot of smuggling activities and ** drugs to the Chinese. They added "white face" to Duofu brand cigarettes, making people become addicted without knowing it, and then causing harm to all Chinese.
Among this group of people, Niu Suyun is undoubtedly the most critical mediator.
Niu Suyun, known as the "Queen of White Noodles", made drugs in small workshops and transported them to her Japanese station.
Suyun took such actions for nothing more than to gain the protection of the Japanese and to have gold and silver to rely on.
The role of a mother has a profound impact on the child's entire life.
Whether it is Niu Sidao, Niu Huaiyu or Niu Suyun, they cannot escape the meticulous carving of "Ma Zupo".
She educates her children in a way that makes small profits, so she has cultivated a group of children who only value profits;
In order to educate her children, she adopted an opportunistic approach and eventually raised a group of wandering children;
She adopted a multi-faceted approach to parenting to guide her children, and as a result, she produced a group of children who were completely unruly.
On the surface, she seems to be looking for a way to survive for her children, her husband, and her family, but in reality, she is destroying her children, her family, and her country.
The children he gave birth to were not happy in the family, and their marriage was harmonious.
Suyun is dissatisfied with Jingya's actions, so she chooses to betray and join an old and fat warlord.
Huaiyu didn't really like his wife, so he married a courtesan named Yingying, and for the sake of his future, decided to let Yingying spend the night with General Wu.
100 help plan
In their opinion, the most sincere human emotions are insignificant, and all they can see is **, a good salary, and a reputation.
However, did they really attain these happiness?
Niu Huaiyu was forced to reluctantly hand over Yingying to General Wu, which made everyone laugh at her, even if she got a high-ranking official position, what did it matter?
Although Niu Suyun exuded a bright light on her body, her face had lost all its brilliance, so what did it matter if she gained wealth?
In the end, Niu Suyun realized her mistake, and she assisted Kong Lifu and others in defrauding the Japanese, but was shot to death after being discovered by the Japanese.
In the end, the sentence "I only want to die, I hate you Japanese!".In the end, she got a perfect closing sign.
But what about Niu Huaiyu?
Under the oppression and oppression of the Japanese army, it seems to be infinite on the surface, but in essence it is inferior to pigs and dogs.
Could this be the so-called "good boy" raised by Mrs. Niu?
