#如何评价 the maid Ying'er in "A Dream of Red Mansions", #很多读者被宫斗戏 and the black belly theory brainwashed, and decided that the Xue family did everything possible to destroy Bao Dai's love and insisted on marrying Bao Chai to Bao Yu, and Ying'er was also interpreted as Bao Chai's tool man. In fact, if you read carefully, you will find that Ying'er's half-sentence prophecy about "golden and jade good fate" is not conducive to the Xue family at all.
What is the content of this prophecy? People who don't read will take it for granted that "gold and jade are a good match, gold and jade are the best match, I have gold, you have jade, we are born a good couple". But that's not what is written in the work.
Baochai heard the saying that "the golden lock was given by a monk, and only those who have jade can get married in the future", and what Xue Pan said was "My mother told me that you have to choose jade for this gold before it can be matched". The two statements are the same, both "gold" needs "jade", not what benefits "gold" can bring to "jade".
Why? Your Xue family's "gold" needs "jade", so my Jiafu has to give Jia Baoyu, who is "jade" and "has the same life", with both hands? Is Jiafu so cheap?
Well, since the "golden jade" theory is not good for the Xue family, then Ying'er almost said it but was stopped by Baochai, so she must not be deliberately trying to talk about it and deliberately arouse people's appetites, and Ying'er is not a tool for spreading rumors and creating public opinion. And almost uttered unfavorable words, she is probably not so shrewd and thoughtful.
Yes, although Ying'er is ingenious (weaving a flower basket to Daiyu and being invited by Baoyu to play the rope), she is not a resourceful person. This can be seen even more in the section of folding flower branches.
Chunyan clearly told Ying'er: "The old aunt and sister-in-law are cautious and cautious, and no one is allowed to touch a single grass, you still pinch these flowers and break his tender trees!" They came at once, carefully they complained. These are Chunyan's heartfelt words. Ying'er couldn't listen to it, and she still tossed and pinched, and she also had her reasons, but she and Chunyan had no grudges, but were friends who had just said their confidant.
But in the face of Aunt Chunyan's reproach, how did Ying'er answer? "Auntie, don't believe Xiaoyan's words, he took it off, bother me to make it up for him, I won't go if I pull him off." When this is put into the ears of those who understand, it is a joke; Put it in the ears of the mother-in-law who is "old and wrong, but profit is fate", it is clearly a slanderous complaint!
As soon as Ying'er said this, Chunyan predicted, "You don't have to play, you only care about playing, and his old man will be serious." Chunyan can predict, but Ying'er can't.
Originally, Ying'er folded the tender willows, although the mother-in-law "was useless in her heart", but "looking at Ying'er weaving, it was not easy to say anything". But Ying'er's "playful words" instigated her mother-in-law to beat Chunyan, and she also made trouble in Yihong Courtyard, causing a turmoil in vain. You say, what is Ying'er's picture?
She's just a delicate, little girl who doesn't know what to do.
Speaking of which, the question arises again: With Baochai's thoughtful and careful thinking, why can't Ying'er be trained? I really can't teach it, is it always okay to change someone? Why do you always take Ying'er with you and make her her her number one maid?
In fact, this is exactly a strategy of Baochai. She publicly stated that "there is no need to give anything, and I will ask you for whatever I want", and tried her best to create an image of "trouble-free" and self-denial, which was helpful to her people. However, "Najia Mansion is full of rich and noble eyes", "men and women are 'one rich heart, two decent eyes'", after a long time, it is inevitable to forget that this is Baochai's "concession", and habitually think that "it should not be given to her in the first place".
Let this delicate and unscrupulous warbler make trouble by chance, which can play the role of "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger". Not to mention anything else, didn't Baoyu deliberately arrange to "give Ying'er a few good words to listen to, and don't offend him in vain", so that Chunyan's mother and daughter could apologize?
This is just one example. A leopard can be seen in the tube. What Baochai needs is not a self-denial and helpful person like her (Baochai's black fans don't need to be in a hurry to refute!). You can think that Baochai is not like this. But you can't deny that Baochai is trying to create such an image and trying to convince people that she is like this) maid, but a delicate and sometimes not so sensible deputy.
Between master and servant, it is also important to pay attention to complementarity.
