Idiom story

"The heart is higher than the sky", as xiaozhifanxing said: at the age of ten, he was bought by Lai Da to be a maid. He was a slave of a slave. Later, he showed filial piety to his wife like a gift, but he didn't have any servility. Her bluntness is aimed at everyone: Baoyu, Daiyu and Xiren. From an objective point of view, she is not a good girl. She has never put herself in the right position as a slave. Even if she asks Baoyu to love herself, she also stands on the same equal height of "human". She is neither servile nor gentle. What Daiyu says is "I do it for me My heart. People who live for their own heart can't help being moved. Do we have to accuse this noble soul that you are just a slave? Being humble is her destiny that she can't change, but we have seen how weak ruqingwen is fighting for this unfair life. She doesn't want to serve Baoyu to take a bath, and she can't stand other people's ghosts. Therefore, she cherishes her innocent daughter so much that Baoyu, who knows her daughter best, really looks at her in a different way, and becomes Beloved from intimacy. Seeing that Baoyu is beaten away and attacked, but Qingwen is asked to give her a handkerchief, we already know that Qingwen and Baoyu are more intimate. "Romantic dexterity attracts resentment" is another major crime of Qingwen. Qingwen's dexterity really can't cause her any trouble. For her violent temperament, a character like pinger knows how to be considerate and understand, and a master like Baoyu knows how to respect and protect her in many ways. There are also those who suffer from beating and scolding and suffer losses. It's hard to avoid getting maggots behind their backs. You can see what Wang Shanbao said in front of Mrs. Wang. She told Qingwen, nothing more than that she pinched the tip to be strong. But the thought that Mrs. Wang touched was that Qingwen, who "looks a bit like sister Lin", was too crazy. She insisted that she was a goblin, and then suspected that she was not in love with Fang Guan Si'er and others, and seduced Baoyu. It's not Qingwen's laziness or her love to beat and scold little girls that really draws Mrs. Wang's thunder. But she is too good-looking to please Mrs. Wang. if Qingwen is really driven out of Daguanyuan because of her laziness or intensity, we don't have to worry about it here. However, because she is "too good-looking", she is charged with "fox spirit". How can a girl like Qingwen, who is innocent and arrogant, survive? Qingwen's death call is Niang. How many grievances does she have to tell her mother? The girl's reputation, which was more important than her life, was so ruined by the detestable feudal guards, but Qingwen didn't even have the opportunity to explain. Maybe she thought that only her own mother could comfort her, maybe she wanted to cry her innocence to her mother, or she wanted to ask why she didn't make herself ugly at the beginning? Mrs. Wang checked the girls in Yihong hospital one by one, and all those who didn't like her went out. Then, she went to the Jia Mu's place and told her that Qingwen had "daughter tuberculosis". She didn't dare to say that Qingwen had any misconduct, because she knew the reason why Jia Mu put Qingwen in Yihong hospital. Jia Mu believed in Qingwen's innocence. Jia Mu meant to let Qingwen become Baoyu's concubine. In this way, Jia Yu's life was better Although my mother really regretted it, there was no way. But here, I can't help feeling chilly because of Mrs. Wang's dark psychology. Qingwen looks like Daiyu. Jia's family knows that she clearly expresses her disgust for Qingwen. Isn't that a tactful way to show her attitude towards Daiyu? She is so cruel to Qingwen, who has been given Baoyu by Jia's mother. Naturally, I hope Jia's mother can understand that she doesn't want Daiyu to be her daughter-in-law.
