The following book "Make-up" will introduce you to several items collected by Jia Mu.

0 1, the first soft cigarette collected by Jia Mu-Jia Mu and Grandma Liu were sitting in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and they boasted about showing off the soft cigarettes collected by Lin Daiyu because they saw the old window screens:

Grandma Liu said, "We don't think he can make clothes. Isn't it a pity to hold the window? "

Jia Mu's last sentence, "The collection for nothing is not good", shows that she is a person who likes to collect and collect. If it weren't for fear of mildew, I wouldn't give grandma Liu two.

How many years did Jia Mu hide this story?

Since Grandmother Jia told Aunt Xue, these people, of course, include Granny Liu and the old ladies of the Jia family, which shows that Grandmother Jia has been kept secret for 70 or 80 years. If you keep it, it will be moldy!

And the funny thing is that she just said "the clothes are not good-looking" and then said "put on the lining and make some vests for the girls"!

Jia just likes to play with his face.

02. Granny Liu is a ginseng, which is the second item in Jia Mu's collection. When she left, Mrs. Jia sorted out the clothes she didn't wear and the medicines she didn't use, and gave them to Mrs. Liu, plum blossom pills, Huoluo pills and life-saving pills. However, there is no ginseng. Why?

Because ginseng is too expensive, grandma Jia is reluctant to take it out for grandma Liu!

Later, Mrs. Wang wanted to give Wang Xifeng a recipe. Because I couldn't find ginseng, I had to "ask Jia personally":

Daughter-in-law asks her mother-in-law for ginseng, and Yuanyang has to take out a scale to weigh it two taels before giving it to her, which shows that grandma attaches great importance to this ginseng. She will continue to cherish the rest!

We know that Lin Daiyu is weak and has been relying on ginseng to replenish qi. In front of Lin Daiyu, Jia vowed that ginseng tonic pills were nothing. She is preparing pills, just add one more ingredient. However, Grandmother Jia has been dispensing medicine for Lin Daiyu with rotten and worthless ginseng! This is also one of the main reasons why Lin Daiyu's illness has not recovered.

Collecting money and dominating things can be explained as frugality, but possessing ginseng is really the character of the wicked; Because ginseng is used to cure diseases and save lives, ginseng will have no effect after a long time!

So Mrs. Wang heard that the ginseng stored by Grandmother Jia was invalid and bowed her head for a long time without talking. Because she didn't dare to be angry with grandma's actions; However, at the thought of sick Daiyu, how can Mrs. Wang, who is "naive", not mourn for Daiyu?

03. Eight Big Girls is the third item in Jia Mu's collection, and it is also for Jia Mu.

After Jinchuan died, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng discussed the salaries (grades) of the girls.

Mrs. Wang asked Wang Xifeng, "How many people are there in the old lady's room?" "Eight," said Wang Xifeng. There are only seven now, and that one is xiren. "

In the 70th episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Zhixiao said that there are eight 25-year-old single pages to be married and girls to be released. However, Yuanyang didn't go, and Amber and Cai Yun were sick. Only the maids in the nunnery and Li Wan's room went out, and the others were underage. "。 Let them go outside. "

This passage shows that none of the eight pretty maids in Grandmother Jia's room went out (married).

Several viewpoints in A Dream of Red Mansions show that the Lady Dowager can't live without Yuanyang, so even if Yuanyang wants to leave, the Lady Dowager won't let her go.

Yuanyang knew that Jia could not live without her, so she said confidently:

So Yuanyang's fate has long been decided, that is, to be buried with her grandmother. The other seven big girls don't have to make any noise, because Yuanyang is their representative.

So when Jia died, all eight maids were buried with her. They are real ginseng (life) stored by Jia Mu!

Jia Mu is actually a guilty person, but because she often puts honey on her mouth before speaking, she looks like a kind old lady.

Therefore, when readers read A Dream of Red Mansions, they must remember: Don't just look at what Jia Baoyu said, but look at what Jia and Jia Baoyu did.

You should do the same in your life. Don't think a person is a good person just because he speaks well. Because there are really a lot of people hiding.

In the seventy-seventh chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, Mrs. Wang said that when she saw that Feng was seriously ill, she still had to take medicine to recuperate. You need second-class ginseng to make pills for regulating menstruation and nourishing Rong. Mrs. Wang asked the servants to look for it, but the ginseng you can find is either very small or hairy, and none of them are satisfactory. There is really no way, so I have to ask grandma myself. Grandmother Jia quickly ordered Yuanyang to find out what was left over, all of which were excellent ginseng with different finger thicknesses, and gave it to Mrs. Wang. The doctor looked at it and said that although the ginseng was very good, it was too old. Although it has not been reduced to ashes, it has become a dead wood and has no strength.

Ginseng is a very valuable thing. Why did Jia Mu put it away? I have to start with the management of the Jia family. The Jia family has been in charge for decades, and when they are old, they hand over the management rights to their daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang. At the time of handover, ginseng, a rare thing, naturally became the grandmother's private property collection and was usually easily hidden. After the Jia family divided power, all the daily needs were dominated by Mrs. Wang's public funds, and personal belongings were not used, so that no one asked for decades. Even the granddaughter Lin Daiyu can't enjoy it. The ginseng that Daiyu needed for many years was also supported and rationed by Mrs. Wang.

So, it's not that the grandmother doesn't know that she has ginseng. One is that she doesn't want to use it, and the other is that she doesn't need to get used to it.

The lady who sells oil combs her hair with water. Xifeng is ill, so she needs second-class ginseng with Tiaojing Yangrong Pill. Mrs. Wang sent someone to get it. After searching for a long time, she only found a few quite thick hair clips. Mrs. Wang thinks it's not good, but she can't find them anywhere in the house. She had to ask the old lady, and the old lady quickly ordered Yuanyang to get it. She took out a big bag, all finger-thick and weighing two, and gave it to Mrs. Wang. Who knows?

Mrs. Wang had to send someone outside to exchange two taels of silver. Baochai said that there was a lot of adulteration outside, and there was a deal between her shop and the ginseng bank to let her brother go to the ginseng bank to exchange two good ginseng without adulteration.

Baochai walked for a long time and came back to say that she had written back. Mrs. Wang sighed, the lady who sells oil combed her hair with water and came home with good things. I don't know how much she gave to others. Now it's her turn to use it, but she asks for help everywhere.

Let's get back to the point. Why did Jia Mu's ginseng lose its medicinal properties for so long without knowing it?

You know, the old lady is the old lady of the Jia family, and all the good things at home are picked out for the old lady first, and then go to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Xifeng, which is also a little late. The old lady's bag of ginseng is too long;

(1) Jiafu has begun to decline. Good things like ginseng have no source. Mrs. Wang has no place, and Mrs. Xing has no place, let alone Xifeng, and will not look everywhere. Who wants the old lady's things easily!

There has been no good ginseng in Jia's family for a long time. Mrs. Wang said: I usually give a lot to others. That is to say, there were some ginseng before, but there were no good ones, so they were not given to the old lady, so that the ginseng found by the old lady lost its medicinal properties.

In short, in a word, these are all signs of Jia's decline. Jia Jia's private property can be compared with the whole Jia family. There are so many people staring at it. Jia She, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and Jia Jia don't force Jia Baoyu to take the eight-part essay exam, but she is confident in her heart. Her private money can completely guarantee Jia Baoyu's carefree life.

Does grandma Jia have time to take care of ginseng? But it was sent to Yuanyang dealers for packaging, and someone took it back after using it.

Who wants Jia's ginseng? If you take it, you will be in the light of the old lady, others will talk about it, and you will leave an impression of greed on the old lady, which will affect the final distribution of property. So as long as there is money in Jia's public account, no one wants it.

Mrs. Wang asked for medicine for Wang Xifeng this time, and there was really no good ginseng at home. Besides, the old man is partial to Baoyu, and Mrs. Wang is not worried.

Then why didn't anyone remind the old lady that the medicine was about to expire? First, the old lady doesn't care about these little things. Second, she offended Yuanyang in vain.

So Jia Mu's ginseng has expired.

Xue Baochai also laughed at Grandmother Jia for this incident. Actually, she is the petty one.

In fact, here, the author uses a metaphor, that is, the Jia family's survival will end after a hundred years. The 77th time, I wrote about the ginseng in Jiamu's place: "That bag of ginseng is of course good, but it is too old. This thing is different from others. How good is it? After only a hundred years, it was reduced to ashes. " The metaphor here is that the Jia family will come to an end in a hundred years.

In this regard, in the fifth cycle, Rong Ning's second husband clearly instructed: "My family has enjoyed fame and fortune for a hundred years since Dingding. Naiyun's fate is irreversible. Although there are many children and grandchildren, there are no successors. And my first son, Sun Baoyu, is perverse and feels strange. Although he is smart and wise, he is likely to succeed, but my family's luck is coming to an end, I am afraid no one will lead him to the right path. " It makes sense to worry about Er Gong here, and the situation of Jia family after one hundred years will be clear.

We can also draw a conclusion from the ***3650 1 block of the first Nuwa: 365 days per year are deducted from it, and the rest is not 100 year. The author has no spare pen, which also indicates the hundred-year history of Jia family.

The five generations of Jia family were all businessmen: Jia Yuan, Jia Daishan, Jia She, Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan. Lin Daiyu's family is also noble, and her father Lin Ruhai's generation is also five generations under one roof. Her family ended in this generation, and it has basically gone through a hundred years.

The author can't help but say that the metaphor is profound when he uses the pen, and he can only know it after careful investigation. I don't think the ginseng grandma took out in seventy-seven times of A Dream of Red Mansions was broken because she didn't care. It was only because she cherished it and didn't want to use it for too long that she lost her medicinal properties.

Specifically, you can see the following analysis:

First of all, in the early days of Jiafu, white jade was placed as ginseng for many years, and Jintang was used as the mother of vest. It can be traced back to the heyday of the previous period, and it is certainly not difficult to obtain it. Because at first, her attitude towards ginseng was very casual.

On the third trip, Daiyu just entered the yamen and was asked what medicine she had taken, because she was timid. She said that she was taking Ginseng Yang Rong Pills. Grandmother Jia casually said, I happened to be preparing here. Just let them prepare more materials. Take this medicine every day. At this time, grandma took it herself, and the amount of Daiyu was completely ignored.

Not only is Jia Mu casual, but others, such as Wang Xifeng, don't treat ginseng as a rarity. The eleventh time, when Qin Keqing was ill, Xi-feng came to see him and said that she would use ginseng to support her illness. Xi-feng is very rich to her: "Don't say two, even two won't do. What's the point of eating every day? " At that time, Ningguo House could really afford it.

In the early days of the Jia family, it was indeed extremely prosperous. Whether this prosperity is implemented in detail is "old or old". And daily life. For example, through Daiyu's first visit to yamen, you can see some semi-new and not old blue satin cushions sent by Mrs. Wang; There are also high-grade furniture owned by Jia Mu, including imported glass screens and carved rosewood screens. These are not brand-new, but show everyone's image. Because, good things can be used all the time, and then spend a year in this house. This is also a kind of confidence of their rich people. It's a good thing and a common occurrence. It's everywhere. It's nothing unusual. Just like good ginseng, it is a daily pill preparation.

Second, the decline of the Jia family is still about ginseng. The ginseng mentioned in Chapter 45 is related to Daiyu. Daiyu lives in Jiafu. Although she is much loved, she is sensitive most of the time. She can detect the change of people around her attitude and situation in Ming Rui. Daiyu said to Baochai:

Daiyu posted for Jia Fu, making ends meet. She is well aware of Jia Fu's situation and has begun to decline. Besides, it says here that both ginseng and cinnamon have fallen out. A reasonable guess is that eating ginseng can't be so casual. However, the owner's needs are still the same as before, and some of them increase the difficulty of people's work reconciliation. The meaning revealed in the words puts Dai Yu under great psychological pressure.

Look at the seventy-seven times that Mrs. Wang took out the beard powder, which was the last ginseng sold separately. This is for daily use. How long has it been used? Zuo Zongtang did not elaborate. My wife doesn't have any good ginseng, so others won't say it. Better nature is only in the old lady's place. If Daiyu noticed the decline a few years ago, and some people give trouble to ginseng, then the first-class ginseng may not be able to afford it at any time. It's understandable that Jia Jia put it away alone, and it's her turn to run out of inferior medicine. It's just that Jia Mu didn't expect that she hadn't taken it out for several years.

Xifeng should not have thought that when she coaxed Mrs. Wang into saying that there was no ginseng at home and refused to give it to Jia Rui, she would one day be reduced to the point where she could not afford ginseng.

Everyone is afraid to tell the truth that ginseng has lost its medicinal properties to grandmother Jia, for fear that she will be sad. Are they only worried about ginseng? No, I'm afraid grandmother Jia will see that it's not just the medicinal materials that are rotting, but also the whole family. A ginseng let us see the trend of Jia family from prosperity to decline. What Jia doesn't know is that the demise of this family is imminent.

Jia estimates that there is a private vault and there is no special person to keep it. Only when the lock is used there. After a long time, it naturally loses its medicinal value.

This question is very good, reflecting profound truth and practical significance.

See the original: the seventy-seventh time

But not for a while, Zhou Ruigu came in and answered:

This passage reveals a lot of information to us. Jia Fu has many omissions in property management. Mrs. Wang didn't take care of it herself. She told the maids to clean it up, but they also left it lying around.

Moreover, in these found articles, it also shows that there are some other ginseng whiskers inside.

Lady Wang's servant girl Cai Yun and others don't know what it is. There are also some drugs mixed together, which gives people the impression that Jiafu's goods management is very chaotic.

Mrs. Wang went to see her grandmother because she had no place. Grandmother Jia found a big bag as thick as a finger, which means it is the best material. But unfortunately, the years have been too long, and they have all failed.

What does this mean?

It shows that the Jia family is indeed rich, and even the ginseng that was used many years ago has no idea of its efficacy. Then you can imagine that other precious materials like ginseng will be wasted if they are left for too long.

Before this, before he died, Jia Rui came to ask Jia Fu to help Ginseng, but Wang Xifeng refused to give it.

This time, grandma was really moved to see so many people wasted.

How many poor people's life-saving things rot on rich and powerful people. In the world, where is there real fairness? The gap between the rich and the poor will lead to endless material distribution.

The dog meat in Zhumen stinks, and the frozen bones on the road are bleak.

If a family is not good at managing property, it will not prosper for a long time. Good management and rational use of distributed materials can not only prosper families, but also accumulate blessings for themselves and future generations. After this passage, Baochai said a few good words:

Although the meaning of her sentence is a little bitter, the fact is good.

Unlike gold and silver jewelry, medicinal materials cannot be preserved for a long time. Although what you get is mostly a blessing, you should eat it in time, or give it to relatives and friends, or even to patients who really need it but can't afford it. Instead of hiding it secretly and letting it rot, it is true love.

Of course, Jia is not a stingy person. The old man has too much property, which I should never have expected.

The picture comes from the network and is deleted.

First of all, it shows that Jia Mu has too many good things to see. Jia has a high position in the Jia family and is a second-line manager. She has a lot of good things, and she doesn't care if ginseng fails. Anyway, when it is useful, she will be afraid that no good ginseng will be sent up!

On the occasion of Grandmother Jia's eightieth birthday, she put on a big show for a few days, but she relented when she received the gift. Two days ago, the grandmother was still in a good mood, and she was too lazy to look at it later.

The value of the gifts received by grandma Jia can be compared with that of ginseng. They don't care, let alone ginseng!

Second, if there are other reasons, it is Mrs. Wang's dereliction of duty. Mrs. Wang is the head of the family. She does not supervise Jia's life in place and lets Jia's affairs be broken down.

Jia's career is very big, with hundreds of people and dozens of things to do every day. If Mrs. Wang is not alone, how can she let Xifeng intervene? Therefore, Mrs. Wang's negligence and dereliction of duty are inevitable.

Third, thinking about the vicious palace drama, Mrs. Wang did it on purpose. Grandmother Jia needs ginseng to prepare some pills, such as Ginseng Yang Rong Pill. These pills are not only for grandmother Jia, but also for Daiyu. The book says that when Daiyu first entered Jia's house.

Mrs. Wang doesn't like the daughters of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Whether they are sick or not, they are better off dead! Therefore, I am indifferent to Jia's medicine.

Fourthly, if it is over-interpreted, it can also be understood as a metaphorical writing technique. The author writes that the ginseng of Jia family has been put away for too long and has lost its medicinal properties. This is a metaphor for Jia's own life. She is old, dying, deaf and ignorant of the decline of the Jia family.

A Dream of Red Mansions can become four classic novels because of its high literary value and influence. Its literary color is self-evident, and it has been integrated into the traditional culture of China for thousands of years, and it is also the pioneer of vernacular Chinese.

The idea of this book is very novel and has a wide influence, covering literary and artistic perspectives, historical archaeology, architecture, medicine, clothing, ethics, feudal ethics and so on. It's really an encyclopedia, kaleidoscope. A Dream of Red Mansions is deeply loved by the world, leading many readers around the world to become fans, and how many fans commented on it. Jia's ginseng is a drop in the ocean, and Niu Yi's nine hairs are in the book. Although small, it is of great significance.

The old lady is getting old and her eyes are not working well. She doesn't see so far as Cao Xueqin. Although she has a pair of fashionable glasses, she still can't see that her ginseng has expired.

Ginseng-life.

These two words are homophonic. In A Dream of Red Mansions, such argot has been used to describe the love in the last days, the disintegration of feudal ethics, the decline of Jia family and the failure of life.

Just like Jia Baoyu's jade, the ginseng of Jia Mu is the lifeblood of Jia Mu.

Ginseng is a rare thing, rare and precious, not everyone has it. This Chinese herbal medicine is not only used to treat diseases, but also a symbol of power and wealth.

Jia fu in a dream of red mansions is a point and a center, and everything revolves around this center infinitely.

In other words, Jia Fu connects all the official protection symbols, including money, power, transaction, marriage and so on. At the same time, Jia Fu also vividly explained the current social situation, various power institutions and various class contradictions in life.

As an elder in the family, Jia Mu plays a connecting role in the development of the family and is a key figure.

Her ginseng side determines the fate of the Jia family, and her ginseng can't save the seriously ill offspring. Besides, ginseng is as expired as her life.

Because ginseng is a treasure, there is ginseng in Jia Jia, and others can't reach it. The ginseng he owns is not filial to future generations, but left by his family. Too long, maybe only Jiao Da can remember. If future generations have the ability to show filial piety to Jia Jia, it shows that Jia Jia's official career is flourishing and his financial resources are increasing day by day.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. The Jia family is gnawing at the old, and even the only treasure of the Jia family is not spared.

Jia lives in the flower armor and is about to die. His ginseng has lost its medicinal properties, that is to say, it is like a decoration and has little effect.

To put it bluntly, the Jia family has begun to disintegrate. Looking at the scenery, it is actually terminally ill, and the building is about to collapse. Even if ginseng has medicinal properties, it can't save everyone's life in Jiafu.

Jia has been trying to find beautiful women, maids, and Jia Baoyu and Baoyu together. Her thoughts are still stuck in the past scenery, addicted to prosperity, eating, drinking and having fun, and living the life of Lafayette. How can fish begins to stink at the head and Jiafu be unbeaten?

Grandmother Jia wants to cure Lin Daiyu's illness with ginseng, and also wants to give Lin Daiyu a good life with her own rights and status. As a result, it is getting worse and worse to take Sister Lin to Jiafu.

Because grandma can't be the master, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu can't make an alliance of wood and stone.

Jia mu is an elder, and others flatter and flatter her in order not to lose the shackles of morality. Secondly, Jia Mu has good things. She left many good things in her life. Ginseng is just one of them, and there are many treasures that others will remember.

Jia Mu is a royal lady who indulges Jia Baoyu to become the incarnation of the devil. As the elder of the family, Jia Mu did not set a good example for future generations, but blindly made herself supreme, making herself the boss of the family forever, with the best things and the best honor.

This is a big mistake in Jia's life. Although the decline of Jia family is inevitable and a trend, it also has a certain relationship with Jia.

Just as the demise of the Qing Dynasty is inextricably linked with Empress Dowager Cixi.

The end of Cao Xueqin is really far away. Even if he ate all the ginseng and put on a few pairs of glasses, Jia couldn't see his mistake.

The ginseng with thick fingers of Jia Mu has expired, and the loss of efficacy means that Jia Mu's life is meaningless, and the last days are coming to an end. New ideas are budding, and Jia Mu's old routine won't work.

You don't need tonic pills to cure Lin Daiyu's illness. He may live a few more years. In a word, Jia Baoyu married Lin Daiyu and everything will be fine.

To keep the fate of the Jia family and change the fate of the descendants of the Jia family, we must find a way to do it ourselves. We can't always think about Jia Mu's ginseng. Unexpectedly, ginseng has expired, so I can only look at it with a dying face and wait for the punishment of fate. It's really getting worse every generation.
