Tan Chun is "smart and ambitious". Since he took on this important task, he gave full play to his talents, came up with several ways to promote benefits and eliminate disadvantages, and adopted measures to promote benefits and reduce expenses in the Grand View Garden. Her reform is still very effective, and Xifeng praised it. Xi-feng sat in the hospital bed and said a good word to Pinger in private.
Because she works hard for the affairs at home every day, and there is no one at home to be her arm, when Feng praised Tanchun, she also expressed her feelings. She commented on the younger generation of her family like this:
Although there is a Baoyu, he is not the goods here, and it is useless to subdue him; Grandma is a Buddha, and it is useless; Two girls are even more useless, and they are not from this room; Four girls are young; Lan Xiaozi is smaller; Huan-erh is a hot kitten, just waiting for him to get through the hot stove and kang; .................................................................................................................................................................................. said another is a beauty lamp, which will break when the wind blows; One is that he has made up his mind to' keep silent and shake his head when he asks', and it is difficult to ask him. There are only three girls left. They are all in their hearts. They are all the right people in our family. My wife loves him.
Besides Tanchun, there are Daiyu and Baochai. However, although they are talented, they also have shortcomings: one is the beauty lamp, which will break when the wind blows; One is to ask questions and shake your head. In fact, Xifeng's two comments on Daiyu and Baochai also reflect their attitudes towards life.
Xue Baochai's attitude towards life is that she doesn't want to offend anyone and earn a good reputation for being virtuous.
Xue Baochai has made up his mind. She doesn't do her own thing and doesn't speak. Baochai is a human being, "few words, few words, people call it hiding stupidity;" Be quiet and self-sufficient at all times. "She is good at waiting in front of everyone and doesn't want to offend anyone.
At the birthday party, she chose her grandmother's favorite food and played dominoes with her on weekdays. She sent the gifts brought back by her brother Xue Pan from door to door, without missing a place or revealing who was thin or thick. Jia Huan and Yingying play dice and can't afford to lose. If Yingying is stopped, she is afraid that Jia Huan will be unhappy. Jinchuan was thrown out of the well, and immediately went to find Mrs. Wang, making up an excuse of "falling into the well" to comfort her. Xiangyun Poetry Society hosted a banquet for osmanthus crabs, and Baochai also paid for it.
Xue Baochai's virtue of sharing with others has also gained a good reputation in Jiafu. Not only the elders praised her, but even the little girls liked to be close to her.
Is Lin Daiyu really a beauty lamp, and it will break when the wind blows? Lin Daiyu was born with congenital deficiency and was weak from childhood. On her first day in Jiafu, she told everyone that she was in poor health. She took medicine when she knew how to eat and drink. So is Daiyu really in poor health? Actually, not necessarily. You can tell from the medicine she took.
Ginseng Yang Rong Pill nourishes qi and blood, so her weakness is just deficiency of qi and blood, so she just needs to pay attention to nourishing every day. She traveled all the way from Yangzhou to Beijing and went back to attend the funeral of her father Lin Ruhai. After such a long journey, my body is safe and sound. If she is really like a beauty lamp, it will break when the wind blows, how can it be okay? When she came to Jiafu, she only brought two servants, one old and one young. From the beginning, Cao Xueqin wrote about Daiyu's "knowing by heart", from which we can see Daiyu's low-key and indisputable attitude towards life.
When Xifeng said that Daiyu was a beauty lamp, we could feel that she was not wary of Daiyu. When Baochai asked about shaking her head, she always felt that it contained profound meaning.
Baochai shook her head when asked. What's the point? When Baochai asked and shook her head, Xi-feng felt that she was very scheming. The Jia family is so big, busy and has many servants. What can be done to avoid offending people?
For example, Tan Chun, from the moment he took over, dared to do it and came up with several ways to save money, starting with a prominent one. Everything is done according to the rules and handled fairly, regardless of who will offend and harm the interests of others.
How did Baochai do it? Tanchun came up with a good way to distribute all kinds of plants in the Grand View Garden to the old ladies for management. Although Baochai made improvements to share the benefits, Tanchun made the greatest contribution. Baochai explained everything to the women and took all the credit for herself.
Like Baochai, she relishes good things and remains silent when encountering bad things. Yingchun was bullied by the nanny's daughter-in-law in the room, and Tanchun couldn't see the past. When Yingchun was honest, Baochai pretended to accompany Yingchun to watch "Too Emotional" for fear of offending Yingchun's people. While flapping butterflies outside Didi Pavilion, she overheard Xiaohong's secret and even successfully framed Daiyu and picked herself up. The way to cheat people is unusual.
Good people do it themselves and let others do things that offend others. Baochai is such a schemer. Do you feel tired with such people? Therefore, although Baochai has a big heart like a servant, two Jia officials, Xifeng and Li Wan, are wary of her. Xifeng is Baochai's cousin, but they never chat and joke, and they are not close. In fact, Baochai's approach is self-defeating
Daiyu showed her intelligence and wisdom because she was unsuspecting. Daiyu's weakness left Xifeng unprepared. Daiyu is not afraid of offending people. Zhou Rui's family sent palace flowers, which was out of order. She was the last person to send her, but she was still dissatisfied with this respectable slave. At Aunt Xue's house, Mammy Li refused to let Baoyu drink, and Baoyu bowed his head and was unhappy. Daiyu expressed her dissatisfaction with Nanny Li, and her words were sharp. Nanny Li said, "Your mouth is like a knife". So in the eyes of everyone, Lin Daiyu got a bitter reputation.
Daiyu doesn't like being in power, and her temperament is calm. She is in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, reciting poems and reading books, and she is at peace with the world. If dealing with people, she will keep a low profile and try to let others make decisions. This is also her cleverness and wisdom, so both Feng and Li Wan like her and are willing to make fun of her.
