Let's not talk about Daiyu's tragic fate today. Let's talk about why grandma didn't take a look when Lin Daiyu died.
When Lin Daiyu first entered the Jia family, the old lady said, "My sons and daughters, only your mother has harmed me. Once you leave me today, you can't even see me. How can I not be sad to see you today? " As can be seen from the following article, Jia Mu really loves this granddaughter, and even several other granddaughters fall behind, only Baoyu can match. Daiyu also grew up with Baoyu and lived with the old lady. Daiyu can get everyone's respect and love in Jiafu, largely because of Jia's preference.
Seeing that Baoyu and Daiyu were quarrelling, Grandmother Jia complained, "I was an old enemy of that time. I have met such two little friends who are hard to save, and not a day goes by without worrying about them. It's really that sentence,' it's not that enemies don't get together'. When I closed my eyes and gave up my breath, I went to heaven with these two enemies, so I was out of sight and out of mind, that's all. " "What Daiyu is most worried about is that there will be no result with Baoyu in the future. How can Jia not be clear about this question? Daiyu can marry Baoyu and stay with him all the time, which is also the result that Grandmother Jia most wants to see.
Grandma Liu came to the Grand View Garden and visited Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Seeing that Daiyu's screen window was old, Grandmother Jia told Wang Xifeng to put on a "soft cigarette" that no one had ever seen. The old lady said to Mrs. Wang, "Change this window for him tomorrow." Grandmother Jia smiled and said to Aunt Xue, "That gauze is bigger than yours. No wonder he thinks it's cicada's yarn, but there are some similarities. What I don't know is thought to be cicada's yarn. The proper name is' Soft Smoke Luo'. " The Grand View Garden is newly built, and everyone's decoration is also together, but Jia changed the screen window for Daiyu. Grandmother Jia's great kindness to Daiyu is telling everyone that Daiyu is a person in her heart, and no one can despise her.
However, in the last 40 times, Jia Mu's attitude towards Daiyu took a 180 degree turn. The Lady Dowager, together with Lady Wang and Xifeng, deceived Baoyu with the "package swap plan" and asked Baochai to marry Baoyu instead of Daiyu, which indirectly led to Daiyu's death. Jia should know the feelings between Baodai better than anyone else. Since they can switch, it shows that they all know what Daiyu means to Baoyu, if not for Daiyu, it should not be for Baoyu.
What's more, when Daiyu died, even Pinger, a person who had never been in contact with her, couldn't help but take a look. The grandmother who loved Daiyu since she was a child didn't even look at it!
Xifeng carried Baoyu behind her back and slowly talked about Daiyu. Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang were stunned. Jia exchanged tears and said, "I broke him. But only this girl is stupid! " With that, he went to the garden to cry for him, thinking of Baoyu in his heart. Mrs. Wang and others were heartbroken and advised the old lady not to go there. "The old lady is in good health." Grandmother Jia had no choice but to ask Mrs. Wang to go by herself. He said, "Tell him his evil spirit for me. It's not that I can't bear to see you off, it's just for personal relations. You are my grandson's daughter, and you are very close. Compared with Baoyu, Baoyu is closer than you. If anything happens to Baoyu, how can I meet his father? ""said, and began to cry again.
In the 108th chapter of the book, Grandmother Jia met Shi Xiangyun who came to pay her respects and talked about Daiyu. "Your sister Lin is the youngest and the most concerned, and she won't live long." Listen, is this still the grandmother who pampered Lin Daiyu from childhood to adulthood?
Such a huge contradiction and difference can be attributed to the version of A Dream of Red Mansions, which can be divided into two categories: first, there are at most 80 manuscripts of fat reviews, which are many important original materials for understanding A Dream of Red Mansions and Cao Xueqin, but only 80 are missing; The other is an engraved version, chapter 120, which has a history and a height, and is called Cheng Gaoben or Cheng Benben for short. The disadvantage is that great changes have been made to the original work, some of which have been made at will, and some have changed the author's original intention in order to adapt to the plot of the sequel. No wonder Zhang Ailing's unfinished Dream of Red Mansions is a great regret in her life!
Zhang Ailing said in her Nightmare in the Red Chamber: When I was a child, I watched A Dream of Red Mansions eighty times, and all the characters were tasteless and disgusting. I only complained that "it didn't look good afterwards". I still read it again every few years, and the impression was slightly different every time ... It was a long time before I heard that there was a Gao E who lasted for the last forty times. Zhang Ailing's evaluation of the last forty chapters is so poor that it can even be described as a dog's tail followed by a mink.
