Ximenqing's mansion is very grand and luxurious, referring to our general introduction in the previous part, he expanded into the big mansion of Hua Zixu's family next door in the original big courtyard of five bottoms, and then took Li Bei'er's money to build a "Grand View Garden" comparable to the "Red Mansion".
Ximenqing also gave these courtyards elegant names, such as Diecui Building, Linxi Pavilion, Begonia Xuan, etc., and of course, there is a famous Tibetan Spring Dock.
It was in this Tibetan spring dock that Ximen Qing had an indescribable relationship with every servant's wife.
Therefore, in order to take care of the food and daily life of this large mansion, servant servants are indispensable, and each little person has his own role. As the person in charge of this Ximen mansion, Ximen Qing is also quite professional in the deployment of personnel, and will give them names in an orderly manner. Most of the little guys are "come" generations, such as Laijue, Laibao, Laiwang, etc. A very few people, such as Ping'an and Ju'an, are also "An" generations.
The wives of the little ones entered the Ximen Mansion, which is equivalent to the whole family working for Ximenqing, and the wives also have to change their names, most of them are from the "Hui" generation, such as Huilian, Huixiang, Huiqing, etc.
The intriguing point of the book "Golden Vase Plum" is that the little characters and inadvertent small details I talked to you about today seem to be insignificant, but in fact, careful scrutiny can see the author's ingenuity. If you can't understand it, it won't affect everyone's understanding of the whole plot in the slightest, but if you understand it, readers will think that these places are very well designed.
Everyone knows that Ximenqing is a frivolous child, who is overbearing. But he didn't know that there was a cause and effect relationship between his origins. Only people like him can survive in that era and mix like a fish in water. His business acumen and his control of human feelings are all leaders in Qinghe County.
In addition to these main characters in the book, who are portrayed as flesh and blood, the author has also designed a lot of wonderful plots in those little charactersThrough the conflicts and contradictions of these characters, the dark side of human nature is exposed.
There was a servant in Ximenqing's mansion called Lai Zhao, and his wife's nickname was Yizhangqing, and she was a woman with a very pungent temperament. The couple raised a son named Tie Rod, who originally lived without wind and waves, and was a rare and quiet couple in the house. However, after Pan Jinlian married into Ximen Mansion, the family ushered in a bad luck.
Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing have a big scene - drunk grape trellises. At that time, Pan Jinlian was helped back to the house by Pang Chunmei in a trance to rest, not only losing half her life, but also losing a red embroidered shoe. After the red embroidered shoe was picked up by the naïve iron rod, it was deceived by Chen Economy with a silver mesh scarf circle.
Chen Economy took the shoes and went to make eye contact with Pan Jinlian.
Pan Jinlian was very angry when she learned about the ** of the shoes, the reason for her anger was not that she was teased by Chen Economy, but because the wind and moon under the grape trellis were originally Ximenqing's punishment for her, which is undoubtedly a matter of hurting face and self-esteem for a sensitive and suspicious character like her. She suspects that Iron Bar has witnessed her ugly deeds. deliberately went to Ximen Qing to complain.
After hearing this, Ximenqing took care of the reason, and walked to the front with a rush.
The little monkey didn't know that he was playing on the stone platform, and was grabbed by Ximen Qing at the top corner, punched and kicked, and killed the pig as if he screamed, Fang Zhen stopped his hand. The little monkey lay on the ground, dead for a long time, and was so panicked that the two of them came to help, and woke up in half a day. Seeing that the little maid was bleeding from his nose and mouth, he took him to the room and asked him slowly.Ximen Qingcao's life can be seen, and he is merciless to the servants, such a child actually made a dead hand, if it weren't for the iron rod's life, this time he would have seen the Lord of Yama.
Yizhang Qing saw that his hard-working son almost died tragically, and scolded angrily.
Pointing to the east and scolding the west, he scolded the sea: "The thief is not a good death, lamb!" What enmity does my child have against you? He's only eleven or twelve years old, what do you know? Know where it is? instigated him to beat him plainly, and blood flowed from his nose and mouth. If you die, it will not be good for you! I can't call you anything! "I scolded in the kitchen, and I scolded again in the front, and I scolded for a day or two.Some uncivilized words were hidden in the original text, all in all, Yizhangqing scolded quite happily, and his mouth was steady and ruthless.
This refers to Sang scolding Huai, implying that Pan Jinlian and Chen Jingye have become adulterers, Ximenqing is kept in the dark and does not know what to do, and it also implies that Pan Jinlian is vicious and will not be rewarded.
However, the most puzzling thing is that such a servant who dares to directly scold his master is unscathed. If Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian were not present at the time, I don't know, then how could so many people in the house not have a trace of incomprehension, and let her scold for two days in a row.
In contrast, Sun Xue'e and Pang Chunmei committed a little tongue, and they were "reported by the world" on the same day, and were kicked out by Ximenqing, and they were also seriously injured. Besides, Wang'er, who is Song Huilian's husband, because he was dissatisfied with his wife's occupation by Ximenqing, also threatened to "break his life and beat the emperor". But Ximen Qing** was able to let him go, and Lai Wang'er was framed and put in prison, and he also suffered a lot of flesh and skin.
But looking at Zhang Qing again, it is really strange that he can scold for two days.
The scolding of such a pungent woman must not be small, but everyone was silent when they heard it.
Their silence has its own reasons.
1, Wu Yueniang, as the eldest lady in the house, her first principle of dealing with the world is to hang high and hang high. She can get along with the mud and is not good at taking care of housework. But in the face of the servant's blatant provocation of the master's authority, Wu Yueniang should not care. But she was silent.
The purpose of her silence was to scold Pan Jinlian through her mouth, vent her dissatisfaction with Pan's tyranny of the man, and express that she also thought that Pan's was a scourge that disturbed the family.
Therefore, Ximenqing later learned that he wanted to bring the Zhao family of three out of the house, but fortunately, Yueniang came forward to intercede and stopped him.
2. Why don't the people in the kitchen report it?
Everyone is a disadvantaged group at the bottom, and they are deeply affected by Ximenqing. And in the face of the injury of the little iron bar, everyone was distressed. These most humble groups also know what is right and wrong, and they are willing to do their part as much as they can.
Since you can't resist and can't help much, then keeping your mouth shut is the last kindness you can do.
3. However, Meng Yulou stood up and sued at this moment.
But she didn't sue immediately, but let Yizhang Qing attack, and after letting the matter ferment, she came to Pan Jinlian's residence and told Xiao Pan with more fuel and vinegar.
On the day of the incident, Meng Yulou's silence was also her scheming.
Meng Yulou's trick is called watching the fire from the other side, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. She got a glimpse of part of the genius from Yizhangqing's angry scolding, and confirmed the matter of Pan Jinlian and Chen Jingye in her heart. She didn't stop it, she also wanted to see how things developed.
So, after Yizhang Qing scolded, she came to Pan Jinlian to "sue", which was a complaint on the surface, but it was actually a temptation.
