When Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, how old was Wang Xifeng?
When Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, Zhou Rui's family said, "We are not as good here as we were five years ago." Now my wife doesn't take care of things, she is the housekeeper of the second grandmother." This second grandmother is Wang Xifeng, the daughter of the eldest master of the Wang family.
Grandma Liu heard and said: "This Feng girl is only twenty years old this year, so she has such ability, and it is rare to be such a family." ”
Obviously, Wang Xifeng is no more than 20 years old, that is, under 20 years old. So how old is Wang Xifeng?
The book says that Xue Pan is older than Wang Xifeng and is Wang Xifeng's cousin.
Xue Pan *** was 15 years old that year.
**Later, Xue Pan led Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai into the capital.
Along the way, they also had to check the buying and selling of various cities, so the journey was delayed, and it was not until the following year that they came to Jiafu. At this time, Xue Pan was about 16 years old. Xue Baochai is 14 years old.
The next year, Jia's mother celebrated Xue Baochai's 15th birthday. Jia's mother said that this was Baochai's first birthday in Jia's mansion, so she took out 20 taels of silver and asked Wang Xifeng to hold a birthday banquet for Xue Baochai.
Since Xue Pan is 16 years old, Wang Xifeng should also be 16 years old.
There is a doubt here, Wang Xifeng got married too early! When I was 16 years old, I had been married for four or five years. In other words, Wang Xifeng got married at the age of eleven or twelve.
However, after looking at the marriage age of the imperial concubines of previous dynasties, it is also understandable that Wang Xifeng married early.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang married Huang Taiji at the age of 13.
At the age of 13, Abahai was ordained the Great Fortune by Nurhachi.
Zhang Yan was only 10 years old when she married Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.
Shangguan Xiaomei was 6 years old and married to Liu Fuling, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and was the youngest empress in Chinese history.
When Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, she sat there upright, holding a small copper chopsticks in her hand to pluck the ashes in the stove. Ping'er stood on the edge of the kang, holding a small lacquered tea tray with a small cover clock in the tray. Sister Feng didn't take the tea, nor did she look up, she just shook the ashes in the stove and asked slowly, "Why aren't you invited in?" "】
This graceful and luxurious young grandmother is only 16 years old!
Zhou Ruchang's "Chronology of Dream of Red Mansions" records: [Grandma Liu: "This Feng girl is only twenty years old this year", Gaiyun is no more than twenty years old, Zhou Yun: "Although she is young, she is older than everyone in the world!" It coincides with the seventh year of Leng Yun Jia Lian's "Twenty Contacts"; Sister Feng should be ten ** years old at this time. 】
It can be seen that when Zhou Ruchang's character Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng was ten years old.
In "Dream of Red Mansions", the issue of age is a confused account. The same is true of Wang Xifeng's age.
