"The secret of Bailuyuan always makes people curious and deeply puzzled. In this world full of the glory and fall of traditional families, there are many confusing stories, among which the emotional entanglement between Guo Juren and Tian Xiao'e is even more ridiculous and confusing.
White Deer Plain, this famous land, has given birth to countless legends. And in this huge family, Guo Juren is an awe-inspiring existence. In February, he was nearly seventy years old, and he was still the leader of Bailuyuan, with countless fields and properties under his name, employing many long-term workers, and was a big local household. However, his life was not as easy as it seemed.
Tian Xiao'e, twenty years old, was destined to an extraordinary fate by birth. Born in a family of scholars, she was supposed to enjoy the glory of the family, but under her father's decision, she was forced to marry the elderly Guo Juren and become his successor wife. Faced with this sudden fate, Tian Xiao'e was full of resistance and helplessness, but the marriage rules of feudal society made her unable to resist and could only accept this marriage. She became a victim of the family's interests, a plaything of fate.
Within Guo Juren's family, a power struggle quietly unfolded. The eldest wife, as the wife of the Guo family, did not want to see Tian Xiao'e's existence, so she used her position to suppress and retaliate against her in various ways. From ordering Tian Xiao'e to do low-level housework for the long-term workers, to recommending a strange way of health preservation - soaking yin dates, the eldest lady set up situations everywhere and forced Tian Xiao'e to a dead end.
Guo Juren's family, a feudal family living in Bailu Plain, although they enjoy abundant wealth and honor, they are immersed in ignorance in their hearts. For them, the interests of the family are above all else, and the feelings and dignity of the individual seem insignificant.
In this family, Tian Xiao'e's existence is seen as an opportunity, a tool that can improve the family's status. She was not seen as an independent individual, but as an object that could be manipulated at will, driven by the interests of the family. In their eyes, Tian Xiao'e is like a pawn being used, serving the interests of the family, and her personal feelings and dignity are not worth mentioning at all.
Guo Juren's family turned a blind eye to Tian Xiao'e's situation, as if she existed only to meet the needs of the family. Their actions clearly lack basic humanity and moral bottom line, and in their worldview, the rights and dignity of the individual are completely ignored. They even ignored Tian Xiao'e's feelings and used her as a tool to satisfy their selfish desires and desires.
What's even more shocking is that Guo Juren's family actually used Tian Xiao'e as a tool for "medicine furnace" and "soaking yin jujubes", putting her in an unknowing situation. This kind of exploitation and exploitation of human beings is simply a blasphemy and trampling on human nature. They ignored Tian Xiao'e's pain and **, just to satisfy their own selfish interests and put her in danger.
The ignorance of Guo Juren's family is not only disrespectful to Tian Xiao'e personally, but also a distortion and disregard for human nature and morality. Their behavior is not only embarrassing, but also a complete subversion of the moral bottom line of feudal society. In this family, the reality of ignorance and ignorance is deeply distressing and disturbing that interests are paramount, and humanity and dignity become dispensable. No wonder Tian Xiao'e later put the dates in the urine jar when she went to bed at night, and gave them to the old man to eat the next day.
Bailuyuan is a world full of legends, but also a confusing labyrinth. In this world, love and hatred are intertwined, and fate is uncertain. The story of Guo Juren and Tian Xiao'e is just a microcosm of this huge family, whose fate, trapped by the shackles of feudal society, became victims in this legendary world. May we see the dark side of feudal society from this story and cherish today's freedom and equality.
