In the fifty-seventh chapter of the book, it is written that Aunt Xue and Baochai came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and staged a trick of mother-daughter love in front of Daiyu. Daiyu was always sad that her parents died early, and if she saw this situation, she was even more sad, she said in a little coquettish tone that Baochai deliberately wanted to stab her eyes, but Baochai laughed at Daiyu frivolously. In order to comfort Daiyu's emotions, Aunt Xue said something like this to express her concern for Daiyu:
……Good boy, don't cry, you see that I love your sister, you are sad. You don't know, I love you more in my heart......I always tell your sister that I love you very much, but it's not easy to bring it out outside, you have a lot of people here, there are few people who say good things, and there are many people who say bad things.Aunt Xue said such words obviously just to comfort Daiyu, while saying that she loved Daiyu more than Baochai, and on the other hand, she made excuses for not being able to hurt Daiyu, saying that because there were many people around Daiyu, there were fewer people who said good things and more people who said bad things, and she didn't dare to hurt Daiyu because she was afraid that others would say irresponsible things.
Aunt Xue said this beautifully, but would she really love Daiyu more than Baochai? It's impossible to think about it. One is his own biological daughter, the other is someone else's child, and even his own daughter's rival, so it is impossible to love other people's children more than his own daughter.
Not to mention Aunt Xue from a merchant family, even ordinary mothers can't do this. What's more, Aunt Xue is not only not stupid, but also smarter than others, how can she really love Daiyu more than Baochai? She just said it casually, and even she wouldn't believe it.
In fact, not to mention surpassing Baochai, Aunt Xue will not love Daiyu at all, after all, she has always planned to snatch Baoyu from Daiyu and achieve Baochai's marriage. The guise of a good relationship was spread by Aunt Xue from the beginning.
In the twenty-eighth chapter of the book, after Yuan Chun gave the gift, he wrote about Baochai's heart:
Baochai's mother mentioned to Mrs. Wang and others in the past: "The golden lock is given by a monk, and only those who have jade can get married in the future." "That's why Baoyu is always far away.This shows that the person who proposed the golden and jade relationship is Aunt Xue. It is not surprising that Baochai entered Beijing to be elected, hoping to become a harem concubine one day and glorify his ancestors. But after losing the election, Baoyu became the best son-in-law in Aunt Xue's mind. Baoyu is not only the son of her sister Mrs. Wang, but also the future head of Jiafu's family.
So Aunt Xue said to Mrs. Wang that Baochai's golden lock represents marriage, and she has to marry someone with jade, and Baoyu was born with jade, which happens to be the person with jade! Aunt Xue's purpose is self-evident.
Daiyu entered Jiafu earlier than Baochai, and the relationship between Baoyu and Daiyu is far beyond Baochai, if Aunt Xue really loves Daiyu, how can she always plan to break up Baoyu and Daiyu, just to complete Baochai's marriage!
In fact, Aunt Xue's words couldn't even comfort Daiyu, she was simply provoking the relationship between Daiyu and the people around her.
She said that Daiyu "There are many people here, few people say good things, and many people say bad things", isn't this deliberately provoking the relationship between Daiyu and the people around her?
In fact, the interpersonal relationship of Xiaoxiang Pavilion is better than that of Yihong Courtyard, Luwuyuan, Qiushuangzhai and other courtyards, and under the management of Daiyu, nothing dirty has ever happened around her. Aunt Xue deliberately alarmist, as if she had good intentions to remind Daiyu. But Aunt Xue's words not only can't comfort Daiyu, but may also stimulate Daiyu's heart to a certain extent.
If Daiyu can't see through this, she believes her words for a while, and from then on she becomes wary of the people around her, then in time, Daiyu may really lose all the people who care about her, and completely fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness. This kind of result is what Aunt Xue wants to see.
