Dream of the Red Chamber Continuation 107: Sister Qiao got married, how did Grandma Liu organize a grand wedding for her? A plate of eggplant, a bowl of pigeon eggs, and two plates of dishes at Sister Qiao's wedding banquet raised the wedding specifications and highlighted her nobility.
(The logic of this article: From Sister Qiao's sentence, it is speculated that Sister Qiao eventually married Ban'er as a wife.) Wedding is the highlight of life, so at her wedding banquet, Grandma Liu must do her best to show her noble qualities. ）
Men should marry, women should marry, and marriage is a kind of ceremony, but also a beautiful. Because it is an important juncture in life, it will leave good memories and open up a better life in the future.
Rich or poor, the wedding scene must be grand. On the wedding day, it is often full of high-rollers and guests. People attending the wedding can not only evaluate the scenes, decorations and costumes of the wedding, but also taste the various tastes from the diet.
01
After Jia Fu was raided, Wang Xifeng's daughter Qiao Jie was sold into Fireworks Alley. Entrusted by Wang Xifeng, Liu Grandma tried her best to finally rescue Sister Qiao from the fire pit.
How to place Sister Qiao, let Grandma Liu be embarrassed.
Sister Qiao is Miss Qianjin in Jia Province, father Jia Lian is a noble prince in Rongguo Mansion, mother Wang Xifeng is Miss Qianjin in the Wang family, the Jia family and the Wang family are all families that have been rich for a hundred years, and Sister Qiao has the blood of the nobility flowing on her body. If Jia Fu is not raided, any third-class slave in the two major families is an unattainable figure. (Reference: "Dream of the Red Chamber" The 6th time, Liu Grandma took the board into the Rongguo Mansion, and when she inquired about Zhou Rui, she said: "The grand masters are blessed." ”）
Therefore, if you arrange for Sister Qiao to live at home, you have wronged her.
The world is like chess, life is transient, Sister Qiao has the experience of fireworks alley, there is a stain on life, whether voluntarily or forced, the good family will not take her in.
Where to go, Grandma Liu couldn't decide.
02
People are emotional animals, adults are intellectually important, and the elderly are emotionally supreme.
Grandma Liu has seen more changes in the world and seen through the vicissitudes of life, and like many elderly people, she puts her feelings in the first place in life. She thought of herself being favored and helped by Wang Xifeng.
As soon as she entered the Rongguo Mansion, she went to great lengths, and with the help of Zhou Rui's family, she shamefully accepted 20 taels of silver from Wang Xifeng's hand. Although human dignity has been lost, for poor families, there is money to live in order to continue, and there is no dignity without money.
When Wang Xifeng sent her away, she also specially took out a hanging money to Give Ban'er, although it is a luxurious etiquette, but for Ban'er, it is a warm memory of life.
When they left, Jia Mu and Lady Wang gave a lot of things, and Wang Xifeng was no exception, not only giving what was needed and used, but also 8 taels of silver.
The first time, with the help of Wang Xifeng, the family began to prosper; the second time, with the help of Wang Xifeng, the family began to have the ability to move towards prosperity.
Without Wang Xifeng's help and the support of Jia Fu, the Life of the Ban'er family would not have flourished, and they would not have had a happy old age.
03
Once the floodgates of memory are opened, many good memories follow. In the world of good people, those good pasts come one after another.
Grandma Liu thought about the fate of Ban'er and QiaoJie.
The second entered the Rongguo Mansion, and Ban'er followed him and visited the Grand View Garden under the leadership of Jia Mu. In Jia Tanchun's room, Ban'er and Qiao Jie met.
She remembered clearly that when Jia Mu took everyone to eat snacks, Sister Qiao came out with a large grapefruit to join in the fun, and when she saw Ban'er holding a Buddha hand, she wanted the Buddha hand. The crowd was busy giving the grapefruit to Ban'er, and coaxed Ban'er's Buddha hand over to Sister Qiao. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 41st)
She had a thought in her heart at that time, in folklore, grapefruit is the genus of incense balls, and it is related to fate. The bergamot alludes to mizu, which seems to imply that the two will marry each other.
Before leaving the Rongguo Mansion, she went to say goodbye to Wang Xifeng, who asked her to name Sister Qiao, and also let her have an idea.
After rescuing Sister Qiao, according to Wang Xifeng's trust and sister Qiao's thoughts, she would actually marry Ban'er.
04
Sister Qiao's marriage should reflect her identity, let her have a self-esteem in her heart, regain a self-confidence in life, and let Ban'er value Sister Qiao and value future life.
The wedding ceremony can be helped by neighbors, Sister Qiao's clothes can be made of satin she brought out of Jia Province, and she can wear the clothes given to her by Jia Mu... In addition to that, she makes a big fuss about diet.
People take food as the sky, food has a huge impact on a person, and the memory of the stomach and intestines will make many people impressed by beautiful things.
She mainly cooked two dishes.
The first course is a plate of eggplant.
Second into the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng let her taste this dish, but also said the method: peel the fresh eggplant into small nails, fry it in chicken oil, then use chicken breast meat, fragrant mushrooms, new shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried rot, various dried fruits, cut into cubes and simmered with chicken soup, plus sesame oil, bad oil mixed and then placed in a porcelain jar and sealed, when eating, take it out and stir it with fried chicken melon to serve.
The second course is a bowl of pigeon eggs.
When she entered the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng also gave her a bowl of pigeon eggs, and she sighed at that time that the chickens in Jia Mansion were also handsome, and the eggs laid were small and exquisite. Wang Xifeng said at that time that one or two pieces of silver, when she used chopsticks to pick up one and send it to her mouth, she accidentally fell to the ground, and later she realized that she had to use a soup spoon to serve.
According to her own memory, Grandma Liu let people make two dishes.
Two dishes were placed on the wedding banquet, which significantly improved the specifications of the entire wedding banquet. Friends and relatives had never seen anything before, had never heard of it, just as she had seen it, full of admiration, admiration in her words, and envy in her eyes.
Sister Qiao was even more tearful, and the two dishes showed her wealth and evoked her good memories. After marrying Ban'er, she became an ordinary peasant woman, but Liu Grandma's approach made her truly feel the nobility in her heart, and in an instant, the tears of emotion slipped down, the feeling of happiness suddenly arose, and life opened a beautiful prelude again...
