She was born into the family of an imperial businessman. She is beautiful, intelligent, talented and can keep a house. From now on, she is a real rich woman. Imagine, which man doesn't like such a spouse?
From the book, this is actually an aspect of Xue Baochai, whose true face is surprising.
First, Xue Baochai has a good first impression.
When Xue Baochai first came to Guo Rongfu, people were deeply impressed with her. The book says that although she is young, she is square and beautiful. The book also says that Lin Daiyu is not as good as her, and she is not as lofty as Lin Daiyu. Even the girls at the bottom like to associate with Xue Baochai. This shows that Xue Baochai is very popular.
As a low-level figure, Xue Baochai also mastered the psychology of the upper-level figures in Guo Rong. Usually speaking out of turn, dignified and dignified, but also willing to be indifferent, do not like flowers or powder, even the layout of the house is very simple. Let the grandmother see and admire, the child is too honest. In addition, Xue Baochai is usually fond of reading, versatile and knowledgeable, which makes people feel that she is a perfect person.
In the eyes of those who advocate Confucian orthodoxy, Xue Baochai is the kind of woman that everyone dreams of.
Second, Xue Baochai is good at pleasing the upper class of Guo Rongfu.
Many people came to congratulate Xue Baochai on her birthday. At this time, Grandmother Jia asked her what she liked and what she ate. She knew that Jia Mu was old and liked lively operas and sweet and rotten things, so she told her what Jia Mu liked. As a result, Grandmother Jia was even happier when she met a bosom friend, and her love for Xue Baochai deepened.
In fact, from here on, what kind of plays Xue Baochai likes to listen to and what kind of food she eats is not introduced. But what the Lady Dowager is willing to listen to and eat is not necessarily what Xue Baochai likes. She said this only to satisfy Jia Mu's psychology.
When Yuan Fei visited his mother, he promised to write two articles, but he didn't write them later, so he sent a lantern riddle in the palace for everyone to guess. At this time, with the cleverness of Xue Baochai, she clearly knew that there was nothing novel, but she said something very flattering and said it was difficult to guess. In fact, she already knows the answer. As a result, Yuan Fei later gave everyone the same thing as Jia Baoyu. This shows that Yuan Fei still praised her performance.
Third, Xue Baochai virtually framed Lin Daiyu.
As for Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu is her competitor. Xue Baochai can't be unaware of this, but as a woman with status in the Grand View Garden, she can't swear and quarrel like a bitch, let alone pull her hair and fight. You can only play tricks and kill people invisibly. This is the performance of high IQ.
In the Grand View Garden, Xue Baochai came to Didi Pavilion because she was chasing a butterfly. I overheard Xiaohong and Zhui Er talking about selfishness there, and Xue Baochai was also curious and eavesdropping there. Hearing this, Xue Baochai suddenly remembered that I listened to her son's words today, and people were in a hurry to rebel, and a coward not only caused trouble, but I haven't. Since I was in a hurry to hide, and I couldn't hide as expected, I had to find a way to get the golden cicada away. So, Xue Baochai deliberately stepped back and cried with a smile, I'll see where you hide. In this way, she skillfully freed herself from the relationship.
When she was far away, Xiaohong took Zhui Er and said, Great, Miss Lin must have listened to what she said by squatting here. In fact, Lin Daiyu didn't come at all, and there was nothing to sit at home, which was a disaster from heaven. Lin Daiyu took the fall into a wrong path. I don't know how he died.
Why is Xue Baochai called Lin Daiyu? Why not call it Xifeng, Xiren or someone else? This is the genius of Xue Baochai, which has hit her competitors, and they still don't know why.
In fact, when Xue Baochai did this, she was also in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily, and met such a love entanglement with Lin Daiyu. In essence, she is working with extreme egoism.
But unfortunately, she didn't meet anyone who shared her views. After all, Jia Baoyu is not her husband, which also leads to her inhumanity.
This is also the genius of Cao Xueqin, and the shocking power of art should be put at the end, which is also the reason why A Dream of Red Mansions can become a masterpiece.
