Yuanyang is the highest among the hundreds of maids in the Jia family, because she is the "chief pretty maid" who serves Jia Jiazu's grandmother. Grandmother Jia has eight maids like her, and Yuanyang ranks first. Jia Fu's rules are very big, which embodies a very important feature of China's traditional culture, that is, servants who serve their elders should be respected by the younger generation. When Yuanyang arrived at Wang Xifeng's room, both Xi-feng and Jia Lian quickly stood up and offered their seats. Xi-feng even called him "Sister Yuanyang". Actually, Xifeng should be about the same age as Yuanyang, and she is also very polite to Yuanyang. Yuanyang is more polite than other beautiful girls.
What about Yuanyang? Although she has a high position, because she often has to perform certain missions on behalf of the Jia family, she is very fair, kind-hearted and selfless, so she is deeply loved by the Jia family and others. As Li Wan said, "What can I do without Yuanyang in the old lady's room? Who dares to refute the old lady's reply, starting with her wife? Since Mrs. Wang, no one dares to go out. The old lady only listens to her, and she remembers what others don't remember. If she didn't do it, I don't know how many people I cheated! The child is also fair. Even so, he often speaks well for others, but he does not bully others. "
You see when Granny Liu entered the Grand View Garden, Yuanyang asked Granny Liu to play a comedy role in order to please Grandmother Jia. But have you noticed that Yuanyang didn't insult Granny Liu's personality at all? She just called her out first and made a deal with her first. Our aim is to make the old lady happy. Besides, when seeing Granny Liu off, those conversations and even a little joke with her showed that Yuanyang was a kind and pure girl. So for Yuanyang, there is a lot to say. I only talk about the name Yuanyang today.
As we know, Yuanyang is a kind of waterfowl, which was also called a bird in ancient times, that is, a pair of birds. Yuanyang, a waterfowl, is monogamous and loyal to each other, surpassing human beings. But unfortunately, she is a servant girl, and Jia She, an old goat of Guo Rongfu, has a crush on her. Although Jia She has many concubines, in the words of some concubines, this gentleman is too lewd and has more than one can chew. But he took a fancy to Yuanyang and threatened her with inducements. Moreover, Mrs. Xing personally promised to give her many benefits. She even said to her, "When you come, you will be an aunt. If you have a man and a woman. " Since Mrs. Xing had never given birth to a child, she said, "If you give birth to a boy and a half, you will be on an equal footing with me." Just like me, that is to say, Yuanyang can be a fake Yuanyang in this case. But Yuanyang is not moved by fame and fortune at all. She is calm and independent. She knew nothing was said to Mrs. Xing, so when Mrs. Xing told her, she lowered her head and didn't say a word. Mrs. Xing mobilized again, but Yuanyang kept silent. Mrs. Xing said how nice it was, but Yuanyang kept silent.
You see, Cao Xueqin wrote three places. Yuanyang doesn't talk, and Yuanyang knows it. It's no use telling you. No matter how intimidating and tempting she is, Yuanyang has her own ideas. She dodged and hid in the Grand View Garden. As a result, Mrs. Xing and Jia She called Yuanyang's brother and sister-in-law out to mobilize. The sister-in-law found the Grand View Garden and was scolded by Yuanyang. So Yuanyang girl should be a real Yuanyang, never a fake Yuanyang.
Where is the beauty? Yuanyang once met a pair of "wild Yuanyang" in the Grand View Garden. It was Siqi and her cousin Pan Youan who had a tryst in the Grand View Garden and were occasionally caught by Yuanyang. We know that in this very harsh feudal society, a big noble family like Jia, if such a thing happens to such a servant, it is a serious violation of ethical codes, which is the so-called reputation of the Jia family. Then the identity of the girl, servant and page was killed, and the government did not care. Because you have a lot of "family children" as a girl, and your parents are servants, the children born are naturally slaves. So some girls, for example, like xiren, were bought, and they all made life and death documents when they bought them. So Siqi knelt down and begged Yuanyang, "Sister, don't tell anyone, or you won't live." Otherwise, the two of them will definitely not live. So Yuanyang girl protected the pair of "wild Yuanyang".
What deserves our attention is, what is Yuanyang's last name? Last name is Jin. As we know, in A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin spent more time on the names of some important people, even some small people, than any writer at home and abroad. I think it is no accident that Cao Xueqin gave Yuanyang the name of gold, which shows that Yuanyang has a heart of gold. And as the saying goes, "real gold is not afraid of fire." Yuanyang was threatened by Jia She-"You can't escape from my palm in the future". Yuanyang is very calm, very calm. She was pregnant with scissors, hid them in her body, exposed Jia She in front of her, and cut off a strand of hair at that time. Fortunately, everyone else caught her and took off her scissors. Otherwise, to make matters worse, she would never do it. This place can see her golden character, which is not only as noble and beautiful as gold, but also as hard to be corroded as gold.
Through the image of Yuanyang, we can also notice another problem. In A Dream of Red Mansions, when Cao Xueqin portrays characters, he often writes in groups. So in the scene of "Yuanyang resisting marriage", who is she compared with? Of course, it is very important that she is with several people, including her sister-in-law. But the most important thing for her is to compare with Mrs. Xing. We know that Jia She wants Yuanyang to be his concubine. It stands to reason that his wife, Mrs. Xing, suffered the most. According to common sense, Mrs. Xing should be very painful, should resolutely resist, and even oppose this matter at all costs, right? Strangely, it is difficult for us modern people to understand that Mrs. Xing not only has no pain and resistance. On the contrary, she married a concubine for her husband, that is to say, she was busy with her position and emotional injury! What does this mean? This reflects that according to the feudal moral concept, a woman can't object to her husband's concubinage, especially if this woman doesn't have children, then you have no right. This shows that feudal moral concepts have been naturally integrated like salt dissolved in water. Mrs. Xing's personality consciousness disappeared, and so did her female consciousness. How much this feudal consciousness has poisoned her. On the contrary, Yuanyang is unmoved by this fame and fortune condition, so it has superior fame and fortune conditions. Through this comparison, we can see that Yuanyang is really beautiful, and she is indeed A Jin Yuanyang.

Wang Xifeng is the actual ruler of Guo Rongfu, and Pinger is called the "master key" by Li Wan and others. Therefore, if Wang Xifeng is compared to the "Prime Minister", then Pinger can be called the "Chief Cabinet Secretary". Because Pinger is Wang Xifeng's main assistant, she sometimes has to take orders from Wang Xifeng to handle some important matters independently. Therefore, she has many bright spots, especially in representing Wang Xifeng in dealing with the earthquake in the lower class of Jiafu, that is, "jasmine powder, rose nitrate, poria cocos cream, rose dew", and in the 6 1 year drama "Judge the unjust prison to exercise her rights", which not only shows her honesty and justice, but also shows her character and ability of in-depth investigation, serious evidence collection and putting herself in other's shoes.
Pinger's ability is not below that of Wang Xifeng, but her character is far superior. Let's take a look at some specific performances of Pinger. She performed Pinger's "Ping" for several times, which is really not simple!
It stands to reason that Pinger is more hurt than Wang Xifeng on the issue of Second Sister You. It is on the issue of Second Sister You that Wang Xifeng is already in a damaged position and has a sympathetic side, but the reaction is too great and too much. Pinger is also damaged, because Pinger is a maid in the room and her status is equivalent to that of a concubine. But her status is lower than that of an aunt like Second Sister You. She seldom gets close to Jia Lian because Wang Xifeng is in the way. Now that she has a second sister, Pinger is also very hurt. But Pinger is very kind and kind. She sympathized with Sister You's misfortune. It is not easy to do this!
You see, in that case, Second Sister You sometimes can't even eat a decent meal, even a decent meal. Pinger had meals delivered to her, and even the small kitchen was made by herself. Sometimes, I will take her out and come to the garden to relax and comfort her. After Second Sister You committed suicide, Pinger was very sad and secretly took out two hundred and twenty pieces of silver to let Jia Lian handle the funeral.
You see, on the issue of Second Sister You, two women are also victims. When they treat another unfortunate woman, they face the same man, Pinger and Wang Xifeng, two women who are also hurt. They made a completely different reaction.
If Pinger's "Ping" is mainly peaceful, kind and kind in the "Second Sister You Incident", then Pinger's "Exercise of Rights" shows her fairness in the "Small Kitchen Storm" of 61 times. "Pinger exercises her rights". She exercises her rights with Wang Xifeng, and her power is considerable. The "small kitchen storm" is very complicated and interesting. It's really hard for us to sort out that relationship. But after you figured it out, you found that this thing was very simple. However, in these simple things, it shows that the lower society, personnel relations and conflicts of interest in the Grand View Garden are intertwined and complicated. The thing is, there is something missing in Mrs. Wang's room, what rose dew? I want to find it, but I can't find it. As a result, it happened that the small kitchen was "staging a coup"-someone wanted to seize power. Here, some women, daughters-in-law and little girls have conflicts of interest. So someone is sowing dissension among them. When Wang Xifeng heard about it, Pinger had to report it to her first. What happened? Everyone suspects that it belongs to the Liu family, the chef of the small kitchen. Her daughter's name is Wuer, and she said Wuer stole it. "Just tell Pinger," said Wang Xifeng, "The Liu family beat them forty times and kicked them out. They were not allowed to enter the second gate. Five sons hit forty boards and gave it to Zhuangzi at once. " Zhuangzi is a rural area. Don't they have a lot of land in Grange and Jiafu? Give it to Zhuangzi. "Either sell her or match her." Appoint any footman to be her wife. If these forty boards go down, people will be disabled, at least seriously injured. Wang Xifeng is amazing! Besides, this thing looks quite complicated. Later, something happened when it was settled, involving the maid of Mrs. Wang's family. Wang Xifeng said, "Madam's maids are not allowed to fight casually." However, she said, "arrest them all, kneel on the tiles in the sun, and prevent them from eating or drinking." If she doesn't talk for a day, she will kneel down again, that's for sure. " Wang Xifeng is so vicious and fierce!
But Pinger only responded, not simply handled it. But what? She investigated and obtained evidence, first questioned the client, and was exposed as a "suspect" and "defendant" Liu Wuer. As a result, Pinger immediately felt that there might be an unjust case here. She said, "In this case, you may be innocent." So before she could find out immediately, Pinger immediately said to his wife and daughter-in-law, if you stare at her, put her under house arrest first, but you can't have an accident first, stare at her first, and then she will investigate. She visited the assassin in the evening, and the assassin said something, and then investigated this and that. Later someone said, who did this? Cai Yun of his wife's family did just that, so she called Cai Yun and Yuchuan.
Pinger does this investigation very carefully. After investigation, she found that things were far more complicated and simple than originally imagined. How can I put it? The so-called throwing things is originally a small gift given by little girls to each other, which is nothing remarkable. If you really want to steal it, who took it without the owner's consent? Cai Yun took it. Cai Yun is the daughter of Mrs. Wang, and Jia Huan likes her very much. Then how can Cai Yun get it? Aunt Zhao sued Cai Yun. Then aunt Zhao is not good. But if it involves Aunt Zhao, it involves Tanchun, and Tanchun will lose face, because Aunt Zhao is Tanchun's mother. Therefore, Pinger still thinks that this matter is really complicated and makes the three girls lose face.
Then Baoyu came out. Baoyu said, this is easy to handle. I admit it was my idea. I'll give it to whoever I want. Then I thought about it and had to do it. Pinger is very measured in dealing with this problem. She read the matter from beginning to end, but on the whole she was loyal to the original work and reported the case to Wang Xifeng. How clever Wang Xifeng was, she understood at once. Wang Xifeng suspects that Baoyu may not be the top jar of that girl! She came up with that way to punish the girl again, saying that she couldn't take advantage of them so much. This is a trivial matter. What should I do if something big happens in the future? Pinger advised her at this time to let go when it was time to let go and leave it alone. You see, you are finally pregnant this time. After five or six months of pregnancy, it can be seen that it is a boy and has miscarried. This may be the reason why I am too worried at ordinary times. You see, Pinger is very cautious. She has a point, because this is Wang Xifeng's heart disease. This suggestion, Wang Xifeng finally let go. Otherwise, several girls may be severely punished.
Then, Cao Xueqin's clever handling of this matter not only seemed particularly just and peaceful to Pinger, but also resolved this contradiction and a major earthquake that might have triggered the lower class. And Pinger "sentenced Pinger to exercise his powers." Judging from the whole novel, she made two very powerful contrasts. Who is the first to compete with? Compared with Jia Yucun's case of "arbitrarily judging the gourd". Jia Yucun bite the hand that feeds her, which ruined the future of winning streak and made her lose the last hope of finding her parents. Jia Yucun is a county magistrate, and a senior official has four ranks and a bureau level. Who will compete? It was in the "Second Sister You Incident" that Zhang Hua, whom Second Sister You promised to marry, was not found? Jia Zhen spent two hundred and twenty pieces of silver to set up Douchayuan, which is the procuratorate in our current words. Jia Zhen spent two hundred and twenty, and Wang Xifeng spent three hundred and twenty! The censor of Douchayuan, that's a top official, deputy ministerial level! Originally DuChaYuan received two hundred and twenty pieces of silver, to wipe out Zhang Hua. As a result, Wang Xifeng gave 320 yuan, which was accepted by Duchayuan. This is "eat the plaintiff and eat the defendant"! You see, from the organs of Douchayuan to the officials of the magistrate, they just ignore human life and take bribes and pervert the law; Pinger, an ordinary servant girl, is so kind, fair and meticulous in such a complicated matter involving so many people, and is finally convinced by everyone, which is in sharp contrast with these corrupt officials.
Therefore, Pinger is also a girl who has the talent to fill the sky but has no life to fill it. On Pinger, Cao Xueqin finally pointed the finger at the eschatological society known as the "prosperous age".

In the novel A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin often gives one or two comments to many important people. For example, the nightingale is "Hui Nightingale". So in ancient times, this kind of wisdom "wisdom" and virtuous "wisdom" can be interlinked. Therefore, the girl Zi Juan, Cao Xueqin's basic evaluation of her, is full of wisdom and very virtuous.
Zi Juan was originally a second-class girl around Jia Mu, named Ying Ge. Then, after Daiyu went in, she brought a ten-year-old snow goose and another old wet nurse, who was too old, so she gave her Ying Ge and changed her name to Zijuan. In this way, Zijuan became the "first big girl" around Daiyu. Yuanyang, Ping, Zi and other maids performed the least, but Cao Xueqin wrote several plays brilliantly. Cao Xueqin's point of view is very remarkable. When he writes this character, he either doesn't write, but if he does, he writes a few strokes, just like the sketch style of an excellent painter, which outlines the mental outlook and temperament of the character.
Zi Juan has one characteristic. She knows Daiyu best. Because Daiyu is sickly and angry, she always tears, so no one dares to talk about her and cry when she says it. You can notice that in the whole Dream of Red Mansions, who dares to say Daiyu? Is the nightingale, nightingale's criticism of Daiyu is particularly heavy, particularly heavy. Besides, what's so special? Zijuan knows best how to make this Daiyu accept her criticism. Zijuan is a girl, Daiyu is a master and a young lady. Zi Juan has a way to make Daiyu accept it. Her words are so powerful that Daiyu is helpless, which shows that Zi Juan is extraordinary. Twenty-nine times, for example, when Zhang Daoshi proposed to Baoyu, Daiyu was unhappy when she learned about it. She cried, so she was angry with Baoyu. Baoyu is also anxious. Baoyu thought, I love you so much that you still don't trust me. Baoyu was furious and smashed the jade. The result was good, and it was crying, and both of them cried. After crying, both of them regretted it. As a result, Zijuan bluntly said this Daiyu. She said: "Others don't know Baoyu's temper, don't we know!" She said: "If the day before yesterday, it turned out that the girl was too impetuous." The girl criticized the young lady for being "impetuous". She said that others don't know Baoyu's temper, don't you? Because that piece of jade, not once or twice, shows that you are not "impetuous" once or twice, you are always "impetuous" and you always don't trust Baoyu. This criticism is not light! Of course, Daiyu refused. Therefore, Zijuan made a concrete analysis. She said that the ear that you hung Baoyu on that jade that day was woven by Daiyu. At that time, she took the scissors and criticized her for not doing it well. It was a mistake, blaming Baoyu. Zi Juan said, "Baoyu is wrong in three points, and Miss is wrong in seven points. I think it's good that he has been with that girl. Because the girl is small in nature, she often sends him away. " This sentence hit the nail on the head, and it is more serious than just now. It was just "impetuous" just now, but now it is "petty", "crooked ways" and "seven points not"-the main responsibility lies with you. As a result, someone was shouting outside at this time. On hearing this, Zijuan knew that Baoyu had come, and she guessed that Baoyu must have come to apologize. "Don't open the door," said Daiyu. Zi Juan said, "Girls are not." You see, criticizing her again. So their positions were reversed, and Zijuan became a young lady, but the girl was not. Let's see, what did Zijuan say below? She said, "It's so hot and poisonous in the sun, how can he let it burn out!" " "Fine know dai jade love treasure jade, you put the treasure jade sun. Can you stand it? As soon as this was said, Daiyu was really moved, and Zijuan opened the door. After that, Baoyu came in to apologize. Zijuan understands that Baoyu is everything to Daiyu, so Zijuan always touches her with how good Baoyu is to her, and can't let Baoyu suffer to impress her. No one can leave Daiyu. It's really "everything has its vanquisher"-nightingale can vanquish Daiyu.
However, let Zijuan play the leading role in a passbook drama, or in the next fifty-seven chapters, "Hui Zijuan tries to be busy with jade." Zijuan is a little older than Daiyu. She has been in Jiafu for many years and has been well informed. She knew very well that Daiyu's marriage must be settled while Grandmother Jia was alive, so as not to fall asleep. So by chance, Zijuan, who was loyal to Daiyu, played a joke on Baoyu, saying that the Lins would send someone to take Daiyu back next spring or autumn at the latest. Isn't this Baoyu infatuated? Stupidity is stupidity. Usually, this infatuation is understandable. Now he is stupid, his eyes are straight, his tongue is hard, and his saliva is running down. He doesn't feel anything when he pinches people. This time he is really stupid! Make xiren anxious, and get Mammy Li. Sister Li's method of pinching people with local doctors is ineffective. Then xiren asked, what happened just now? Later, it was probably Qingwen. Who said I saw Zijuan talking to him just now? At that time, I was in Yikang Hospital, and Mammy Li cried. My life is over. Xiren also cried, and there were sixteen maids, crying like a chorus. Aroma rushed to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to find Daiyu who had just taken medicine. We can see that Aron has a very good temper. Alan never likes to rush. Occasionally, he is in a hurry. If he is a little angry, he is really anxious this time. Aron's words are interesting. While crying, she said, "I don't know what Aunt Zijuan said, but that idiot has straight eyes and cold hands and feet and says nothing." At this time, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others heard that Baoyu was dying and rushed to the hospital. Such an ordinary joke played by Zi Juan caused a great chaos in Guo Rong Building. Fortunately, Cao Xueqin writes well. This is a drama in the form of comedy or even farce. The audience knows that this is a kind joke, and it is a small joke. They will catch up with such a stupid thing as Jia Baoyu and will believe it. However, everyone is sincere. Zijuan made a joke, and it was a sincere joke. She wants to try Baoyu. What did you do to our Miss Daiyu? This is just a joke. Baoyu is sincere, not to mention attacking people. Mammy Li was so anxious that Baoyu couldn't live, and they were all miserable. The whole Jia family, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are sincere, and everyone co-starred in such a comedy. In addition, in this comedy, we see the protagonist, the central figure Zi Juan, very calm. Although Zijuan is a little regretful, she didn't expect to make such a big mistake. But she was not afraid, didn't want to pass the buck, and didn't panic. She is very calm. Then the misunderstanding was finally cleared up, and everyone was happy. But Cao Xueqin didn't stay here. He continued to improve the image of Zijuan.
Then Zijuan mobilized Daiyu, saying that the old lady should understand that in difficult times, great events are important. Zijuan knows very well that she knows better than Daiyu and should seize the opportunity, so this shows her virtue and wisdom. Moreover, what Zijuan said is quite theoretical, saying that "it is easy to get two thousand gold, but it is difficult to know a friend." It's also a saying, so Daiyu was surprised to hear it. She was embarrassed. She said, why is this girl crazy today? How did she go for a few days? Why have you suddenly changed? Aunt Xue didn't come later? Aunt Xue said that Daiyu and Baoyu were engaged, and it was better to get engaged. They grew up together. If they are engaged, wouldn't it be "four corners"! That would be great. You see, Zijuan will come out quickly and say that this is a good opportunity. She said, "Since your aunt has this idea, why don't you tell your wife?" Aunt Xue is Mrs. Wang's sister. If she comes forward and says it herself, then we can deal with Daiyu and Baoyu, and everything is ready. Aunt Xue said it casually. Aunt Xue quickly made fun of it. Look, little girl, are you in a hurry to get married? You also need to find a page to get married. Mixing this together, this place shows that Zijuan is really smart, so Zijuan's "wisdom" is first of all her very virtuous, and at the same time shows her extraordinary wisdom everywhere, so although Zijuan doesn't have many scenes, it left us a very deep impression.
