Interpretation of the characters of "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin" Issue 78: The Drama Version is Deleted, and the Mystery of Liu's Family.
In the drama version of "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", many outstanding characters were cut, including Changfeng's wife Liu. As the wife of Sheng Jiafeng, Liu played a crucial role in the original book. The Sheng family can become more and more prosperous, in addition to Sheng Hong's plan for the Sheng family, the marriage of the children also plays a role in icing on the cake. Among the three sons of the Sheng family, Sheng Hong's favorite is Changfeng. But he knew in his heart that Changfeng had an indecisive personality and needed a daughter-in-law with good conduct to guide him.
For the candidate of Changfeng's daughter-in-law, Sheng Hong put forward specific requirements to Mrs. Wang: as long as the family background is reasonable, the most important thing is that the woman has a good character, and asks to find a daughter-in-law who is polite and virtuous. Changfeng's character needs to be reminded and guided at all times. This brought a lot of trouble to Mrs. Wang, but in the end, the Liu family, who had been hairpins for generations, was willing to marry her daughter to Sheng Changfeng, a lascivious concubine. This is undoubtedly the most ruthless calculation of the Sheng family.
Plus, there's good news. Sheng Hong's most envious colleague Liu Ming is willing to marry his concubine to the Sheng family's concubine! The relationship between Liu Ming and Sheng Hong is extraordinary. Their relationship has always been close, from classmates to colleagues. Although Sheng Hong's official position is higher than Liu Ming, the Liu family is a real family of scholarly eunuchs. Such a family has long made arrangements for the marriage of their children, so when Sheng Hong mentioned the Liu family, he knew that Rulan had no chance.
But as time went by, the Liu family's son-in-law was still young, and Rulan had reached the age of marriage. So, Liu Ming decided to marry his daughter to Changfeng, the concubine of the Sheng family. This decision is undoubtedly a huge support for the Sheng family, and it also further consolidates the relationship between Sheng Hong and Liu Ming.
We also know that Changfeng is a concubine, although he is a rich man with a good demeanor, there are many women around him, and his feelings are also overflowing. The Sheng family also knows that the Liu family wants to marry the daughter-in-law, her character is beyond doubt, and she is definitely a good wife who is virtuous and virtuous. However, if we look at it from the perspective of identity and morality, the concubine of the Liu family seems to have suffered a little. But we can't help but ask, why did the Liu family still marry their daughter-in-law? Do they have any unspeakable grievances?
In fact, the Liu family who married is a rare sober person in the original book! The Liu family's daughter-in-law, Liu, had already made a family appointment, her mother-in-law's family was the Jiang family in Ding'an, and the other party was the grandson of the retired Jiang Ge Lao. The Jiang family and the Liu family, one is a Qingliu family, and the other is a powerful family, which can be said to be a good match. However, things didn't turn out as expected.
Jiang Gelao's son died suddenly, and Jiang Gongzi had to keep filial piety for his father for three years. So, the two families discussed that they would wait until the Jiang family had passed the filial piety period before holding a wedding. However, things took a turn for the worse. Jiang Gongzi actually gave birth to a son with the maid during the mourning. In the eyes of the Liu family, who attach importance to etiquette, this kind of thing is undoubtedly a big rebellion.
The Liu family sent people to Ding'an to understand the situation. The Jiang family, who originally wanted to hide it, learned that the Liu family already knew about it, although they apologized again and again, but they did not make a clear statement on the whereabouts of Jiang Gongzi's maid and son. The Liu family knew what the Jiang family was planning.
Therefore, the Liu family decided not to marry the Liu family into the Jiang family. On the one hand, Jiang Gongzi's behavior during the mourning period shows that he is an unfilial and morally corrupt person, and his character and self-management ability can be seen. On the other hand, historically, those who committed infidelity during mourning, such as Uncle Kang and Liang Han, did not end up with good results. Uncle Kang was dismissed from office for taking a concubine during the filial piety period, while Liang Han impregnated Chunge during the national funeral and had to marry her in a hurry. Their actions have seriously affected their reputations and careers.
Therefore, the Liu family decided not to marry the Liu family into the Jiang family, because they knew that Jiang Gongzi's behavior had exposed his disloyalty and immorality, and they also saw the precedent of history. On this issue, the Liu family showed rare sobriety and decisiveness. They did not blindly marry their daughter to Jiang Gongzi because of external pressure or interests, but insisted on their principles and values.
The marriage choice of the daughter of the Liu family is indicative of her position in the family and the difficulties she may face in the future. She was married to a Sheng family family with a low social status at the time, and although she had a deep relationship with the son of the Sheng family, the marriage ended in failure. Although she succeeded in gaining freedom through reconciliation, it also cost her dearly, including her own reputation and half of her dowry.
On the other hand, although the Jiang family seems to be a better choice, it actually hides many problems. First of all, the Jiang family's family rules were not strict, which led to the incident of his son having an affair with a maid. Although the Liu family found out and came to the door, Mrs. Chiang tried to hide the matter until the matter could not be covered up and paid an increase in the dowry as compensation. This shows that there are problems with the Jiang family's moral concept and family management.
In addition, Madame Chiang's behavior towards her son also shows her doting and indulgence. When it was revealed that her son had an affair with a maid, she did not deal with the matter, but chose to hide it. This kind of behavior is not only irresponsible to the Liu family, but also irresponsible to the future daughter-in-law.
Most importantly, the attitude and behavior of the Jiang family in dealing with the affair between their son and the maid raised questions about their morality and family management. This not only casts doubt on whether they will be able to educate their children and grandchildren well, but also on whether they will be able to make a difference in society.
Therefore, it is wise for the Liu family to choose to find another marriage for their daughter. Although the son of the Sheng family has an emotional foundation with the Liu family, there are problems with the morality and family management of the Sheng family. In addition, there are also problems with the Jiang family's morality and family management, and the Liu family will face many difficulties if they marry into the Jiang family. The Liu family's choice to find another marriage for their daughter can not only ensure their daughter's happy life, but also maintain the family's social status and prestige. This shows that the Liu family has a high IQ and foresight for the family's management and future planning. They clearly realize that their daughter's happiness and the development of the family are inseparable, so they have made the best choice for the happiness of their daughter and the development of the family.
In the case of the Liu family, generally speaking, the daughter is not worried about getting married. However, the Liu family has a tricky marriage contract. According to Minglan said, the Jiang Liu family has a friendship of several generations, and even if they can't become in-laws, they don't want to make enemies. If this family affair is yellow, if the Liu family wants to clear themselves, they have to expose Jiang Gongzi's unfilial behavior. In our country, filial piety is of paramount importance, which will seriously affect the future of Jiang Gongzi; But if the Liu family is silent, the person who bears the charge is the Liu family, which will have a great impact on her reputation and future marriage.
Difficulty 1: The Liu family has been waiting for Jiang Gongzi for three years for this marriage contract, which means that she has passed the age of Ji. If she continues to wait and does not marry, she may become an "old girl", which will undoubtedly make it more difficult for her to find a suitable in-law in the social environment at that time.
Difficulty 2: It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, and the Jiang and Liu families are unwilling to settle a feud because of their children's marriage. If the Liu family wants to get rid of this marriage contract, they have to expose Jiang Gongzi's unfilial behavior, so that Jiang Gongzi's future will be ruined. But if the Liu family doesn't clarify themselves, then all the blame and responsibility will fall on the Liu family.
Difficulty 3: Solving the dilemma of the Liu family is actually very simple, as long as you find a reliable family to propose, and then the Jiang family shirks the marriage contract on the grounds of keeping filial piety and protecting the mausoleum. This not only saves the face of Jiang Liu's family, but the family of the proposed family will inevitably be discussed. Moreover, if the family of the proposer is not strict and leaks the dissolution of the marriage between Jiang and Liu, it will cause a bigger turmoil. This is also why the Liu family hopes that the Sheng family can coordinate among them to avoid conflicts between Changfeng and the Liu family in the future.
Mrs. Sheng was very thoughtful: "I decided to come to the door to propose marriage in person. Since you want to get married, you have to do it beautifully. To the outside world, I like the character of the daughter of the Liu family very much, knowing that it is Gao Pan, and I also have the cheekiness to come to the door to ask for marriage. On the surface, it seems that the Liu family married their daughter to the Sheng family, but in fact, it was the Sheng family who climbed the Liu family. Liu's marriage, in the social environment at that time, was naturally not worried. However, is the concubine of the Sheng family destined not to marry a good daughter-in-law? Although the family has deep roots, it may also gradually decline due to the lack of successors. Lord Liu Ming, although he was born in a famous family, his official position is actually not as good as Sheng Hong.
The Liang family of the Marquis of Yongchang, although there are two ** supporters, a governor of Liangguang, a household servant, and two eunuch families as backing. However, if the concubine is promising, the daughter-in-law of the concubine also dares to propose a separation. At this time, the Sheng family, Changbai married the daughter of the Hai family, and his career was smooth; Hua Lan and Mo Lan married into the marquis's family respectively, and Minglan even received an edict. Because of Gu Tingye, Sheng Hong was regarded as the emperor**. Therefore, he was able to be promoted to the fourth rank in just one year, and served as the left and right attendants of the third rank, in charge of the military and grain routes. All this shows the power and status of the Sheng family.
In Liu Ming's view, although the Liu family's marriage to the Sheng family's concubine seems to be a low marriage, in fact, it is the Liu family who climbs the Sheng family. He said to his daughter: "Most of those families with beautiful scenery on the surface are dirty and cumbersome inside, and if you marry in, you will only suffer, and there is no place to complain." The Sheng family is innocent, the rules are simple, the children and grandchildren are more polite, and the daughter-in-law is better. ”
After the Liu family married into the Sheng family, Sheng Hong and Mrs. Sheng were on her side, allowing her to grasp the key point of Changfeng - silver. At the same time, the Liu clan also saw the opportunity and reached out to Changfeng when he was in trouble. In the end, the husband and wife were reconciled, which was exactly what Liu Ming expected.
In the choice of marriage, we should give priority to character and family style, rather than just economic conditions. Because only by finding the right half can we create a better life together. And those unhappy marriages often stem from misjudgment and procrastination of people. For the sake of their daughter's happiness, the Liu family carefully planned this marriage. Carefully planned for the happiness of their daughter, the Sheng family and the Liu family have the same heart. If you can be like the wise Liu family, you must learn to give up the wrong people and things and stop the loss in time. Because you deserve the best of everything.
