Shen Jiake said "Dream of the Red Chamber": Psychological analysis of Xue Baochao in the Di Cuiting incident

Psychological analysis of Xue Baochao in the "Di Cui Ting" incident

Author: Shen Jiake

Cao Gong's psychological description of Xue Baochao is very delicate and informative.

The novel "Dream of the Red Chamber" mainly shows the characteristics of the characters through the development of behavioral stories, so it rarely directly describes the inner world of the characters, at best one or two sentences.

In the matter of Di Cuiting, xue baochao's inner world was completely displayed.

The book reads:

(Xiao Hong) said, "Oh! We just talked and watched someone come and quietly hear it outside. It is better to push this grid away, that is, some people see us here, and they only talk about us. If we come to the front and we see it, don't say it. ”

When Bao Chao heard this outside, he was surprised in his heart and thought, "Strange dao, from ancient times to the present, those who raped dogs and thieves have good intentions." When they saw me here, they were ashamed. The voice of the situation was similar to the words of Hong'er in Baoyu's room. He had big hollow eyes and was a first-class trickster. Today I listened to his short son, for a moment people rebelled, the dog jumped the wall, not only was there trouble, but I was not interested. Now they are in a hurry to hide, and they can't hide, so they have to make a 'golden cicada out of its shell'. Before he could finish thinking about it, he only listened to the "creak" sound, and Bao Chao deliberately put his steps down, laughing and shouting: "Er, I see you hiding there!" He said, while deliberately rushing forward.

Let's look at the causal relationship first.

First, Xue Baochao's innocent side was revealed, and he went to play with two large jade-colored butterflies. Then I encountered a long conversation between Xiaohong and Xia'er. The conversation between the two girls is not very light, so they are very weak-minded, afraid of being overheard. It was such a coincidence that Xue Baochao was eavesdropping outside.

Xiaohong wanted to open the window, Xue Baochao was afraid to face the confrontation, her inner world, this began to run.

First of all, it resembles the words of Hong'er in Baoyu's room. You know, in the novel, the twenty-seventh time "Di Cui Ting Yang Concubine Drama Butterfly Buried Incense Tomb Fei Yan Wept Red." ”

After the Di Cuiting incident, Xiao Hong came to the fore and said the words of the four or five grandmothers clearly, winning wang Xifeng's appreciation and favor. Before that, XiaoHong was just a second- and third-class servant in Jia Baoyu's room, the object of exclusion by Musk YueQingwen, and he couldn't touch Jia Baoyu's people at all. Painstakingly find a loophole to serve tea to Jia Baoyu, before talking to him.

Xue Baochao had already felt the details of XiaoHong's bottom clearly, knowing that her eyes were hollow and big, and she was first class for something strange and strange. If there is a first class, then there is a difference in judgment, which shows that Xue Baochao has studied these ladies and made a ranking list in his heart. There are also second-class tricks and third-class tricks.

Xue Baochao, a girl and also a Miss Qianjin, studied the big guys in Jia Baoyu's room, not to mention, even these third- and fourth-class guys were thinking clearly. What to do?

There is only one answer, to prepare yourself for marrying into the jia fu housekeeper.

Secondly, what is Xue Baochao afraid of? Afraid that Xiaohong would be overheard in a non-trivial conversation, the dog jumped the wall. In the ceremonial society at that time, the words of disregard for etiquette and incorruptibility were spread out, and Xiaohong was to be scolded and punished and driven out. It will force people to die. Therefore, Xue Baochao's fear is reasonable. This is a very serious thing.

She Xue Baochao was afraid, wasn't Lin Daiyu afraid?

Interesting details came, and then written in the novel, Hongyu said, "If Bao Girl hears it, it will be over." Lin Girl's mouth loves to be mean, and her heart is thin, as soon as he hears it, if he or walks out of the wind, what? "

Xue Baochao observed XiaoHong, and Xiaohong was also observing Xue Baochao. To tell the truth, in the Grand View Garden, in the Yihong Courtyard, these ladies are all watching, who is their last master. As long as they were still in Jia Baoyu's room, they were Jia Baoyu's women. They are also judging and wondering, which is easy to get along with?

In Xiao Hong's eyes, Xue Baochao is easy to get along with, because Xue Baochao is wise to protect himself, he does not care about himself and hangs high, shaking his head three times when asked. And Lin Daiyu loves to mean people and makes fun of people. Xiaohong's judgment and concerns were completely correct. In the later story, the rat taboo treasure hidden, the servants steal things, carry private goods, and so on,

Caiyun had stolen something for Aunt Zhao, and Ping'er and the others were afraid that the third girl would be angry and embarrassed, so Baoyu agreed to accept it. It was only that he took out some things and joked with Jin Ju and Caiyun. Quell Liu Wu'er's theft case. Lin Daiyu quipped at the banquet, "He has the heart to give you a bottle of oil, and he is afraid of hanging up the wrong lawsuit to fight theft." "Just say it's leaking."

Xue Baochao had hardly made such a mistake, his mouth was very firm, and the secrecy work was done well. If you want to talk to people, you also say it one-on-one privately.

Therefore, the Di Cui Ting incident is essentially a misunderstanding.

As the saying goes, live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

In real life, villains and gentlemen do not have such a definite dividing line. Gentlemen will also have the thoughts of villains, and villains will occasionally have the behavior of gentlemen. This time, Xue Baochao guessed Xiaohong's heart with the heart of a villain, and as a result, Xiaohong instead looked at her with the heart of a gentleman.

It is conceivable that Lin Daiyu has become a person who pinches her short child in Xiaohong's heart. Poor Lin Daiyu didn't know anything at all. XiaoHong would only be further frightened, Lin Daiyu actually couldn't bear not to care, not to mean her, even more terrible. The most important thing is that this incident completely snuffed out Xiaohong's intentions towards Jia Baoyu.

Which lady didn't understand in her heart that Lin Daiyu was Jia Baoyu's closest person. Offended Lin Daiyu, in the future, in case Lin Daiyu marries Jia Baoyu, he will not have good fruit to eat and no good life. Even if Lin Daiyu did not marry, in the middle of this criticism in front of Jia Baoyu, Xiaohong would not be able to eat and walk. Moreover, Lin Daiyu is still Jia Mu's heart and liver baby.

If Xiaohong finds Jia Yun, it is another way out. Letting Xiang'er pass the handkerchief is collusion and private affection, so the next active performance in front of Wang Xifeng, climbing the branches, is to completely abandon the Jia Baoyu route, there is no way back.

Xue Baochao did not necessarily need Xiaohong to take sides, but in fact, Xiaohong thus stood in opposition to Lin Daiyu.

Xue Baochao was originally doing such a thing as planting bribes for self-protection, but he encountered Xiaohong's mirror and suddenly illuminated her heart. Others think that she is a gentleman with general knowledge and generosity, and she herself asks herself to be a gentleman. However, as soon as he encountered an urgent moment, Xue Baochao immediately sacrificed his principles, took care of himself first, and cleared up the interference.

Xue Baochao was not a person of great treachery and evil, and even she was a capable and learned person. If you understand a bunch of big truths and follow the middle way, if you really let her become an official, you can also benefit one party for the good. She will not take the initiative to do evil, she does not care about the flowers and flowers are magnificent, and even she is not stingy, generous, and ambitious. But when she's in danger herself, she pulls people as stepping stones. She is not a pedantic gentleman, a mediocre who drills a dead end.

Finally, Xue Baochao and Xiaohong were almost in the "fighting method" of looking in the mirror in the Di Cuiting incident. It's funny, it's wonderful.

Xue Baochao's thinking, only in the time of lightning and thunder, Xiaohong pushed the window for only a few seconds, Xue Baochao estimated that he was too late to hide, so he had to make the method "golden cicada out of the shell".

Based on the geographical location of Di CuiTing, Xiaohong clearly estimated that it was easy to leak privacy and was afraid of being overheard, so she proposed to open the window. Sure enough, Xue Baochao was eavesdropping outside.

Xue Baochao deduced and guessed Xiao Hong's thoughts, and Xiao Hong was also speculating and analyzing Xue Baochao's thoughts.

However, Xue Baochao looked at Xiaohong as tricky and strange, and Xiaohong looked at Xue Baochao as "just pouring down". At this point, Xiaohong obviously underestimated Xue Baochao, and Xue Baochao did not just pretend to be confused, but blamed others and completely cleared up.

As long as she did not endanger Xue Baochao's vital interests, she was a gentleman.

In other words, are there any gentlemen in this world who are completely innocent and innocent, who do not harm others, who are not selfish, who are completely altruistic, and who have no inordinate intentions? I don't think so. The world is so complicated, the interpersonal relationships are so complex, that kind of person can't do anything, the mind is immature, can't live the first episode, and directly become cannon fodder.

Xue Baochao will not harm others or himself. But she can harm others and benefit others. Every time she helped others, she took out real money and silver. But she rarely suffered a dull loss, Jia Baoyu ridiculed her Yang Concubine's body was rich and timid, and she was immediately intimidated back by her, she did not have Yang Concubine as an imperial concubine, and her brother Yang Guozhong was stained. Directly satirizing Yuan Chun's entry into the palace as an imperial concubine, there is Jia Baoyu, the uncle of the country.

Eavesdropping on this matter is nothing in the book, Xue Baochao eavesdropped, lin Daiyu also eavesdropped. A lot of people eavesdropped.

The greatness of the novel "Dream of the Red Chamber" is that the people who write about it are alive, have selfishness, justice, compassion, treachery, affection, and calculation... Xue Baochao was not a saint, but a real living person.
