If it is said that Jian'er corresponds to Qingwen and Daiyu, who are straightforward and have a tragic ending, then Ping'er and Baochai, who correspond to human affection, are also traceable.

Many people believe that Jian'er is the biggest winner among the women of "The First Incense". For example, with her shrewdness and judging the situation, she can cling to a small boss or something like that as a concubine. However, will the ending of "Baochai" be good? After all, "Baoyu" doesn't love her either.

Reading between the lines, you will find that at least Ai-chan does not have such "good intentions", but implies that she is also immune.

The familiar taste of the Red Mansion

After Jian'er knew Weilong's true identity, she immediately showed her courtesy.

I saw Wei Long being counted down by his aunt"I was so embarrassed that I couldn't get off the stage.", she immediately laughed:

"People haven't opened their mouths yet, how can the young grandmother know that they are borrowing money? But as the old saying goes, I was bitten by a snake three years ago, and I was scared when I saw a rope! Miss Ge, don't you know, in our mansion, all year round, there are endless streams of relatives and fellow villagers who come to smoke the abundance, and the young milk is scared. Girl, don't be in a hurry, come from afar to visit relatives, the mother and son also say a word of self-consideration before leaving, you go to the living room to sit for a while, let us have a little milk to rest, through this breath, I will come to call you. ”

This passage has a rather "Red Mansion" flavor. Grandma Liu and Ban'er are distant relatives in the countryside who went to Jiafu to "draw abundance". Ping'er also received two people. Mrs. Liang and Jian'er in "The First Incense" also have a bit of Sister Feng and Ping'er. When Mrs. Liang complained to the maid about Qiao Qi, she said, "Listen.""You listen".It is also like Sister Feng's voice.

Mrs. Liang is really like a combination of Mrs. Wang, who drove away Qingwen, and Sister Feng, who is high above. You must know that in "Dream of Red Mansions", Sister Feng was also called "young grandmother".

If you take a closer look, you will find that many descriptions in this **, especially those related to girls, are like the reappearance of the Red Mansion. The tone and tone of his speech did not look like that of Hong Kong, but like the "vernacular" of the late Qing Dynasty used in "Dream of Red Mansions". For example, the word "this will happen" appears several times. Words such as "can't hold it", "hooves", "can't be short" and so on are also in the Red Mansion.

Wei Long whipped her with a wet towel, but"Jian'er only cares about dodging, and does not fight back, nor does he confess, nor does he ask for mercy. ”The little girl next to her was talking, meaning that Weilong was not"Serious master"., dare to do so"Practice".They. This tone is also lively, as if he is a descendant who came out of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Daiyu once sighed to Baochai that she had no choice but to send people under the fence:

"Those mothers-in-law and girls at the bottom can't help but think that I have too much to do. Look at these people here, because they saw that the old lady hurt Baoyu and Feng Yatou too much, they are still eyeing each other, and they are talking behind their backs, let alone me? Besides, I'm not their serious master here, I came here without support, and they already hate me. ”

Eat them, use them, all expenses depend on relatives, and even subordinates can despise and dislike her.

Who pities whom?

As the name suggests, although Jian'er has an underground status, she is a condescending and calm bystander who looks down on everything. She is clever and eloquent, and she can see through the minds of her masters, but she is more detached than them.

When she was beaten, she sighed and said:"Let her go! She's pathetic enough! ”This sentence is the reason why she endured it silently, and it is also equivalent to sprinkling salt on the wound, pointing out Weilong's true situation"It's poking into Weilong's heart.", which made her break down, cover her face and cry.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", Li Gui, who accompanied Baoyu to school, that is, the son of Baoyu's wet nurse, complained to Baoyu after being admonished by Jia Zheng:"Did you hear it? But first we have to peel our skins! Other people's minions earn some good and decent money with their masters, and we slaves are beaten and scolded in vain. From now on, it will be good to have some pity. ”Tanchun also said Ping'er"Blame the poor".

Usually it should be the "master" and the poor "slave", but now it is reversed. It is no longer known who is the master and who is the slave. Maybe whoever cares is more pitiful.

Knowing that he was already deep in the mud pit, Jian'er, who was from a humble background, would not be bound by the rules and precepts, and his mental load was much lighter than that of Wei Long. It is likely that she is also the same as Jianjian, using her body as a tool to climb up, which is why she can be so detached. She is also the same open, she is not only fooling around with the Qiao family's father and son, but also with"Russians who fix pianos".As well as lieutenants have a leg.

The maids who were born at the bottom of the society even "study" are extravagant, so they simply believe that "it is better to read well than to marry well". Their hope of crossing the class is even more slim than Weilong, so they are more "open-minded" and "able to let go" than Ge Weilong.

What's more, they are both willing "prostitutes", and the difference between the master and servant is **? Regarding this point, Zhang Ailing also hinted, for example, the color of Jian'er's clothes also echoes Weilong, which I have written in other chapters.

Therefore, many people have commented that Jian'er is the most ruthless character in "The First Incense", but I think that what can be done if you are shrewd or stupid? In the final analysis, these women in the article, their lives are all pathetic. "It's also a sad guest in Hongchen, don't laugh at who is a poor person. ”

Later, when Mrs. Liang asked, she hid her part. In other words, she didn't say the real reason why Wei Long was angry with her. She was afraid that if Mrs. Liang really knew the truth, she would be swept out of the house like a bumper.

What does Mrs. Liang think? She used the bait to lure him in, and the bait was swallowed for him, but he was still free and unrestrained. In the end, she made up her mind, admitted her loss, and ignored him. For the sake of his trouble, she couldn't stay and watch. ”It turned out that Kan Jian was also Mrs. Liang's bait to seduce Qiao Qi, but it was only because she was out of her control and fueled Qiao Qi's momentum that she couldn't stay any longer.

Now she is also going through this process of change.

Of course, nothing can be hidden from Mrs. Liang. She had already guessed the truth, but she didn't mean to drive away Jian'er, and even pretended not to know, and did not continue to ask the teacher for the crime. At the beginning"When she left, she lost her left and right hands.", so she now has to cast a rat bogey"Mrs. Liang is a person who understands the general situation."

However, although the ending of Jian'er has not been explained, it may not be very good. She was also Mrs. Liang's tool to "make people". The one on the Wan Chai prostitute in the back"Blue lotus-colored tweed short coat".In fact, it is also echoing her"Snow green tight jacket"., and the large purple on the faces of the prostitutes standing on the street, all hint at her fate.

Pleasant "human" spirit

On the night when Wei Long stayed in Liang's house, Mrs. Liang asked Jian'er to deal with her, because she was afraid that Wei Long would disrupt her own situation. But Jian'er greeted her enthusiastically, snatched the suitcase, and said:"The young lady has been thinking about it all day long, saying why haven't you come yet. There are a lot of customers today,"whispered into Wei Long's ear again:"It's all old men and ladies, and the young lady is afraid that you won't be able to talk to them, so she panics, so she asks the girl to open another table of dinner and eat upstairs. ”is so proficient in human affairs and sophistication, he is really cultivated.

From the beginning, Wei Long regarded Jian'er as a confidant, and Jian'er did seem to be sincerely giving advice to her.

Jian'er persuaded Weilong that even if he finished college, there was no way out, at most"Teaching in a primary school run by a monastery, I was purified by the spirit of a foreign nun. ”Wei Long said that he also knew"Live until**counted**! ”At the beginning, she came to ask her aunt, mainly to maintain her studies, but she was raised in brocade clothes and jade food, boiled frogs in warm water, and after a long time, she was about to forget her original intention.

Jian'er continued to persuade her"I'll tell you, don't be angry. I'll plan for you, or take advantage of this opportunity to socialize and open my eyes to pick a suitable person. ”Not to mention whether this is really Wei Long's plan, or to disintegrate her "fighting spirit", Wei Long can't listen to it anyway.

She still couldn't understand what Jian'er was saying"The world is as black as a crow, and men fall in love with this. ”A maid has already surpassed her in personnel and city government.

Weilong is not a completely scheming girl, but compared with Jian'er and Mrs. Liang, she can only be regarded as "silly and sweet", which is not of an order of magnitude at all.

Didn't I say before that Ge Weilong's name contains the "attack" that attacks people? (In fact, the surname "flower" is also in it.) So where did the word "human" go? Perhaps we can see some clues from the eight-sided exquisiteness of Jian'er and the structure of the character "兒". She also has a bit of an attacking shadow on her body.

"Spy" maid

Wei Long excused himself from being sick and did not spend time alone with Situ Xie and Mrs. Liang late at night. Then came the eye, and the fluffy knock at the door, and brought the aspirin; Wei Long used the sound of the water from the hot water faucet, but he didn't hear it. ”It is likely that Jian'er was ordered by Mrs. Liang to inquire about the situation.

Wei Long took the eyes as a child"Confidant"., obviously think that the maid is a person"Be mean"., but it's still because of her play"Enthusiastic guidance everywhere".And gullible. However, is Jian'er really that trustworthy?

Jian'er is such a smart person, and can accurately grasp the master's thoughts and emotions, it is impossible not to know the purpose of Mrs. Liang to leave Weilong. She said that reading was useless, but in fact, she was secretly helping Mrs. Liang.

Jian'er is indeed persuading Weilong to find a good man to marry, as if she is really thinking about her. But just like when she and Qiao Qi ** later, she was still condemning him for harming Wei Long, what she said always came out of her mouth, and she may not be very sincere.

Because Jian'er knows the rules of Mrs. Liang here, it is impossible for Weilong to take advantage of the opportunity to find an ideal marriage partner for herself. Therefore, such "kindness" is nothing more than a cliché.

After Weilong** came up with his true thoughts, he also told Jian'er:"It doesn't matter if you talk to me, don't tell your aunt seriously! ”But will Jian'er really keep a secret for her? Originally, she was one of the eyes that was placed next to Wei Long by Liang Tai.

It's the same with Jian'er for Jian'er.

When playing and playing, he is not merciless"A delicate clogs painted with gold and plum branches".Kicked a piece of his leg and stomach directly, and the force was so strong that his shoes flew out.

After the conflict between Mrs. Liang and Jianjian, Jian'er, who was originally separated from making breakfast, didn't know if she had been eavesdropping, at a critical moment"Hurriedly stepped forward and half-pushed and half-pulled".drove Jian Jian out of the room, and his mouth was still counting:"It's all the young milk who spoiled you, and you didn't go up or down! You're more interesting; If you are less milky, you will have to get a dowry. ”

On the surface, it is to calm things down, but in fact, they are just following Mrs. Liang's warning and sayings:"You can't run! Your father and mother will escort you to the countryside to get married. ”It's just empty words that don't make much sense.

Actions speak louder than words

After Qiao Qi and Wei Long***, they met Jian'er when they slipped out of Liang's house.

Did Jian'er deliberately get in the way of Qiaoqi? I'm afraid not. Because Jian'er had her back to Qiao Qi and looked forward to the mountain road outside the door. It was Qiao Qi who got up with his own thoughts and wanted to step forward to tease, but the sensitive eyes turned around.

So, perhaps, as Qiao Qi guessed, it is likely that Jian'er was waiting for her lover to come to a tryst, but she didn't wait. And it may be because she can't wait for her true love that she usually takes her relationship and marriage so lightly.

But does this prove that there is no problem with the child? She still rolled the sheets with Georgie.

At that time, after being discovered by Jian'er, Qiao Qi, who was weak-hearted, hurriedly took a bite back:"My great virtuous sister, what are you doing in the garden in the middle of the night? ”

The same weak-hearted squire"Just look at him in embarrassment.", but instead of picking up the stubble, he turned the head of the gun and counted the things that he had done to Jian Jian and Wei Long.

In Dream of Red Mansions, Jin Gui is also known as Baochai"Great virtuous and virtuous".。Jian'er does have the shadow of Baochai on her body. Baochai is full of seriousness, but her behavior is not as upright as Daiyu. Jian'er was also waiting for people under the moon, and she was not very careful. So on the surface, Jian'er hated *** Qiaoqi and was full of thoughts about the "girl", but in fact, she slept with him and used him to fill the absence of her lover.

The reason why Qiao Qi persevered was probably because he understood the duplicity of women. He has been in love for a long time, has countless achievements, and understands women very well. "Capricious and unpredictable".of the weather"I seem to listen to Qiao Qi like a girl.。 ”He had already seen through Jian'er's thoughts.

However, Jian'er's mentality is very different from Weilong's. She is well versed in human nature and sees through it, so she doesn't have too high expectations for Qiao Qi.

In this way, Wei Long is indeed more "pitiful" than her.

After all the hardships, the incense begins: solving the puzzle Zhang Ailing's title and beginning of "Agarwood Crumbs: The First Incense" Ge Weilong vs Xiangling: The life of agarwood in "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Agarwood Crumbs: The First Incense" The Year of the Dragon also says that the dragon In "The First Incense", why is the name of "Ge Weilong" weird?
