Mama Li, who has long since retired, why did she do this?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-01-30

In the twentieth episode of "Dream of Red Mansions", everyone in Rongguo Mansion, who spent the Spring Festival this year in a busy situation, was finally able to rest for a few days. The end of the Yuanchun Provincial Family made a stone fall in everyone's hearts, and this Provincial Family Hospital, which took a year to build, finally realized its value.

It's just that just when everyone was immersed in the enjoyment of relaxation, in Jiang Yunxuan, a very discordant scene occurred.

As Mama Li, who has long since retired, she actually ran to Jiang Yunxuan on crutches to humiliate and attack people.

I saw Mama Li on crutches and scolded people in the local area: "The little prostitute who forgot Ben!."I lifted you up, and now I'm coming, and you're lying on the kang in a big way, and you don't pay attention to me when you see me coming. I just want to put on a fox and coax Baoyu, but Baoyu ignores me and listens to you. You're just a hairy girl bought with a few taels of stinky silver, and you're going to consume it in this house, how to make it!It's good to pull it out with a kid, see if you still coax Baoyu like a goblin!”

As a retired wet nurse, Mama Li has long lost her former power, and what she relies on is the generosity that Rongguo Mansion has always treated her subordinates. But obviously, what she did was incomprehensible.

Attacking people, not only the chief maid next to Jia Baoyu, but also the maid next to Jia's mother, as the saying goes, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, she should also treat the attacker a little kindly.

However, her next move can be described as even more excessive.

The attacker first only said that Mama Li was just angry for him lying down, and she had to argue and said, "I was sick, so I sweated, covered my head, and I didn't see your old man" and so on. Later, I just listened to him say "coaxing Baoyu", "making up foxes", and saying "with a boy", etc., I couldn't help but be ashamed and wronged, and couldn't help crying. Although Baoyu heard these words, she didn't know what to do, so she had to distinguish between "sick" and "taking medicine" for the attacker, and said, "You don't believe it, just ask other girls." ”

When Mama Li heard this, she became more and more angry and said, "You only protect!."Did the fox recognize me?Tell me to ask who to go?Who doesn't help you, who doesn't attack people and take down the horse!I know all those things. I'm just going to talk to you with the old lady and the wife. I milked you so much, and now I can't eat milk, so I left me aside, and the girls wanted me to be strong. As he spoke, he began to cry as well.

Friends who have watched "A Dream of Red Mansions" should understand that when Jia Baoyu and others moved into Rongguo Mansion, it was in the twenty-third episode of "A Dream of Red Mansions", and obviously, at this time, he still lived in Jiangyunxuan.

And we can learn from the eighth chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions" that the place where Jia Baoyu lives is not far from the place where Jia's mother lives;On the same day, because Qianxue was filial to Mama Li, she gave Mama Li the "maple dew tea" that Baoyu specially kept for the evening to taste.

And this move alarmed Jia's mother, and then the mandarin duck arrived and asked about the situation.

After understanding this, it may be easier for us to understand Mama Li's madness. Why did she do this when she was already retired?

Does this contain a hidden meaning that the author did not explicitly say?

Before talking about this issue, it is necessary for us to be clear: when did Mama Li retire?

This is clearly recorded in the original text: In the nineteenth chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", Mama Li came to Jiang Yunxuan again, and at this time, she had retired.

According to the rules of Jiafu, the nurse retires, and can still enjoy preferential treatment, and if she has a good relationship with the master, she can still enjoy the respect of the day;Just like Jia Lian's nurse Mama Zhao, Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu came back from Yangzhou, and Sister Feng specially prepared a table of wine and food for him, and Mama Zhao was the wet nurse who dined with them. Sister Feng also specially prepared a crispy ham stewed pig's trotters for her. It can be seen that Jia Lian's nurse, even if she retires, is still a decent person.

And what about Mama Li?Retired, why can't she enjoy her retirement in peace?And what about the variety of works?

Among them, there are two points that we can understand from Mama Li's words.

She was humiliated for two reasons.

1, Qian Xue was picked up.

Qian Xue was chased, and the original text did not explicitly write about this, and judging from the only clues in the original text, her sudden disappearance was related to the cup of "Maple Dew Tea" that she offended Baoyu and honored Mama Li.

It's just that when we go back to the original text, we will find that when the mandarin duck came to inquire about the situation, the attacker stood up to explain Qianxue, and she lied that it was because she stepped on the snow and slipped a little that she broke the wine glass.

Therefore, from this point of view, Qianxue was chased and had nothing to do with the attack.

However, Mama Li's words gave us a different reminder.

You're just protecting!Did the fox recognize me?Tell me to ask who to go?Who doesn't help you, who doesn't attack people and take down the horse!I know all about it.

One sentence".Who did not attack men and take down horses!It can be said that those of us who are readers can hear it in a fog.

Because before this, it seemed that by Baoyu's side, there was no maid who was chased. It's just that, in this case, why does Mama Li treat the attacker like this?So subjectively imposed the fact that Qian Xue was picked up on the attacker?

2, because of the attack, Mama Li is no longer favored.

In Mama Li's complaint, in addition to the section where Qian Xue was banned, she also specifically mentioned Baoyu's attitude towards her.

Later, I just listened to him say "coaxing Baoyu", "making up foxes", and saying "with a boy", etc., I couldn't help but be ashamed and wronged, and couldn't help crying.

Every time I see this section, I can't help but have such a thought, Mama Li is really old-hearted. Otherwise, why would she, who has retired, still eat offensive vinegar?

Of course, if we analyze this carefully, we will find that there is a lot of article in it.

In our analysis of the first reason why she humiliated and attacked people, it was because of Qian Xue being chased, but for this, she did not have a good reason, which is obviously untenable.

However, at this moment, it is an indisputable fact that she humiliated and attacked people, "pretending to be a fox" and "coaxing Baoyu". Because in the sixth episode of "Dream of Red Mansions". When they came back from Ningguofu, the attackers took advantage of the fact that everyone was eating, and when they were changing Baoyu's clothes, they had a rainy affair with him in the middle of half pushing and half-doing.

It was also from this moment that in Baoyu's heart, her status was no longer the same as before.

The raider is the maid next to Jia's mother, and her service to Baoyu is only a temporary transfer, because her establishment still belongs to one of Jia's mother's eight maids, and she is facing the possibility of being summoned by the old lady at any time.

With such an identity, is it appropriate for her to have a cloud and rain with Baoyu?Jia Baoyu only flirted with Jin Chu'er for a few words, and then put on the name of "violating the mother's wife", and was beaten half to death by Jia Zheng;And now, Jia Baoyu has a relationship with the maid next to the old lady, how to deal with it?

It can be said that the reason why Mama Li chose to go to Jiang Yunxuan to scold and attack people in the first month is because she has an indefensible fact for attacking: she had a cloud and rain affair with Baoyu privately.

It is also because of this that she is not even afraid of Mother Jia.

Of course, with the handle of attacking people and Baoyu secretly trying, Mama Li can humiliate and attack people unscrupulously. It's just that from the point of view of interests, it seems that we will find that what she has done does not get any benefits.

In that case, why did she do this?

The crux of the problem is actually on "Qianxue".

Qian Xue, as one of the four maids around Jia Baoyu, why was she chased?Is it because of a cup of "maple dew tea"?Is it because Baoyu is dissatisfied with her, is it because Baoyu sued the old lady?

If there is one sentence to describe it, it is "not to".

A cup of "maple dew tea" will not make Qianxue disappear inexplicably. So, what is the real reason why she was kicked out?

All of this started when Baoyu went to Lixiangyuan to visit Xue Baochai.

In the fourth episode of "Dream of Red Mansions", Aunt Xue's family lived in Rongguo Mansion on the pretext of sending Baochai to Beijing to participate in the election. In the face of the arrival of their family, Jia Zheng deliberately arranged them in the Lixiang Courtyard where the door was "opened separately".

Why did Jia Zheng arrange it like this?Among them, there is an important reason: Xue Baochai at this time is fourteen years old, and in another year, she will enter the marriageable age.

Therefore, she needs a boudoir that is completely cut off from her foreign man. Undoubtedly, the Yehyangin Temple, which has another entrance, is the most suitable place.

Jia Mu also agrees with this. Because in her consciousness, she had already chosen a future daughter-in-law for Baoyu, that is, Lin Daiyu.

It is said that under Jia Zheng's arrangement, Jia Baoyu, a foreign man, cannot and should not go to Lixiangyuan, let alone meet Xue Baochai easily.

However, as we can see, Jia Baoyu secretly ran into Lixiangyuan and walked into Xue Baochai's boudoir, and still here, I heard Xue Baochai and Ying'er, the master and servant, singing the words of "golden and jade good fate".

We have to admire the decisiveness of the Xue family and the sacrifices they made in order to achieve their goals.

They firmly grasped Jia Baoyu's private action and successfully dismantled the barrier that Jia Zheng deliberately built between her and Baoyu.

And the reason why Baoyu was able to go to Lixiangyuan was inseparable from these two people.

1, Qian Xue.

In the seventh episode of "Dream of Red Mansions", during the period of sending palace flowers to Zhou Rui's family, Jia Baoyu learned through her that Sister Bao was sick. And the one who went to visit her on behalf of Baoyu was Qian Xue, who volunteered to go.

When Baoyu heard this, she said to the girls, "Who is going to take a look?"I said that Miss Lin and I sent to ask my aunt and sister An, and asked my sister what kind of illness she was and what medicine she was taking. On the theory that I should have come in person, I said that I had just come from school, and I also caught a little cold, so I came back in person another day. With that, Qian Xue agreed to go. Zhou Rui's family had nothing to say.

This seems to be a small detail, but it contains a lot of details. For example, what did Qian Xue bring back for Baoyu from Lixiangyuan?Of course, it seems that this point has long been unimportant, because the result is the most important, and Baoyu did go.

2, Mama Li.

At this time, Mama Li did not retire. By Jia Baoyu's side, her status is the highest. Therefore, everything about Baoyu's travel is in her charge.

However, unexpectedly, when Jia Baoyu went to Lixiangyuan, Mama Li, as the nurse who followed Baoyu, was absent, if we read the original text carefully, we will find that she entered Lixiangyuan in Baoyu, and Baoyu had already learned about it".Golden and jade relationshipAfter saying that, he came to Lixiangyuan, and at the banquet, he dissuaded Baoyu who wanted to drink.

Just imagine, with Mama Li's many years of experience in Rongguo Mansion, if she followed Baoyu closely, would he still be able to go to Lixiangyuan without permission?Of course not. Therefore, the culprit who caused Baoyu and Baochai to meet was Mama Li.

Therefore, from this analysis, we can see that Mama Li's retirement is likely to be abnormal, not because of her age, but because she committed serious work dereliction. This also led to a series of "doing" behaviors after her retirement.

And who is most likely to blame her in this matter?Of course, it's Jia's mother, because she is the most disgusted with "Golden Jade Relationship";On the contrary, Mrs. Wang is very optimistic.

Summary:

Perhaps, through the above analysis, it is not difficult for us to understand the motives of Mama Li, who is still doing it despite retiring.

Because she was unwilling.

Interestingly, the person she deliberately looked for to vent was Jia's mother's most optimistic maid attacker. And it just so happened that the incident of attacking people and Baoyu gave her confidence.

On the surface, she is upset for "Qianxue", but in essence, she is crying out for herself, perhaps in her opinion, because of her negligence, the matter of Baoyu going to Lixiangyuan is not as bad as attacking people to seduce Baoyu. It's just that this is undoubtedly her wishful thinking;Her work was finally ignored by Jia's mother!
