The most shining person in "Do You Know Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Slender" should be the sixth girl of the Sheng family with the halo of the heroine - Sheng Minglan. She follows the only daughter of the last house fighting champion Yong Yihou Growing up, Minglan learned the skills of housekeeping and being a good person through her words and deeds. Minglan benefited a lot from her throughout her life.
However, we seem to have overlooked a problem. We often say that three years old determines eighty. Minglan was almost ten years old when she followed the old lady, so many of her previous world views came from her biological mother - Wei Miss Wei, this can be seen later when Minglan pretends to be weak, plots to murder Lin Sushuang and her daughter, and fights to the death to personally resist the Bianjing rebels. Minglan is very much like Wei Xiaoniang in her forbearance and clumsiness, her transparency and rationality, and her life as Wei. The young lady yearns for a courageous and wise woman like Madam Li.
Thinking about it carefully, it turns out that Wei Xiaoniang's weakness, incompetence, timidity and fear are all automatic choices to hide her clumsiness. In fact, she is the transparent person in the whole drama.
Let’s see why?. Wei Xiaoniang knows her own position, and the best way to protect herself and Minglan is not to fight or rob her.
Wei Xiaoniang was originally a serious daughter of a Gengdu family in Jiangnan. She was forced to marry the king because her family was ill and her family was poor. Ruofu was bought as Sheng Hong's concubine, and her most important role was to check and balance Lin Sushuang, the noble concubine, so that she could not "collect thousands of favors in one body."
She is very She clearly understands that she is not as noble as the eldest lady, nor as decent as Lin Sushuang. She has neither dignity nor dignity, and has no support from her mother-in-law. The only thing she can do is not to be the one who stands out. The rafters were not to be treated as cannon fodder in the fight between the eldest lady and Lin Sushuang, so Wei Xiaoniang kept to herself and allowed herself to be timid, cowardly and incompetent, and to be a Buddhist woman who would not fight or fight, let alone toss.
When Minglan stood out and threw a pot to protect Hualan's betrothal gift, Wei Xiaoniang was not happy that Minglan's excellence was seen by her family. Instead, she punished Minglan and warned:
" You should be patient in everything and don't stand out. Although it is a sign of friendship for you to stand up for your eldest sister, you must also know that some pains for your eldest sister are just skin deep, and these pains for you are the pain of your flesh and blood. "
Even until her death, Wei Xiaoniang's request to Minglan was: "Don't be aggressive in everything, live the best you can" and asked her to promise to go to her grandmother's side and never call her A-Niang again.
Wei Xiaoniang lives a clear life. She understands that she is isolated and helpless in the Sheng family. The only way out is to stay out of the spotlight, so that she and Minglan can survive in this big house, so she does everything wisely to protect herself. Don’t provoke Wang Ruofu, who treats her as a tool, let alone resist Lin Xiaoniang, who treats her poorly, because: “If you give her, that’s what you should do; if you don’t, then you shouldn’t.”
This transparent approach affected Minglan’s life. She tolerated everything when getting along with her sisters, fearing that trouble would cause trouble to her grandmother and bring disaster to herself. After getting married, she could see clearly and understand everything. Be clear.
When Gu Tingye asked for marriage, he said these words that really moved Minglan:
"Yes, you just live too clearly, you are smart and you are transparent. , you have seen everything clearly, so you don’t dare to step too far. Maybe you are angry in your heart, you are angry, you don’t dare, but you are helpless, you are wronged, you are depressed, but you can only pretend to be stupid. Leng, perfunctory and careful at all times, forcing herself to be the impeccable sixth girl of the Sheng family."
Wei Xiaoniang is full of transparency, she understands the rights and wrongs of everything, and is clear about her identity and situation. , but she understands that a woman must protect herself and her children to live a stable life, and it doesn't matter if she suffers a little. Isn't this a rare and transparent wisdom? Wei Xiaoniang understands that most men are unlucky people who would rather hide their clumsiness and retain their only self-esteem and pride.
In fact, Wei Xiaoniang is quite popular with Sheng Hong in the Sheng family, otherwise she would not have given birth to Minglan and become pregnant with Minglan’s younger brother under the dual pressure of the eldest lady and Lin Xiaoniang. You know, Lin Xiaoniang only gave birth to a son and a daughter, but why did Wei Xiaoniang still never take the initiative to let Sheng Hong get close to her?
Minglan stepped forward to win back the betrothal gift for Hualan, and Sheng Hong happily visited Wei Xiaoniang.
When the master came to his yard, it was too late for others to be happy, but Miss Wei was respectful and calm, and she was not even as happy as Xiaodie Xiaotao. She even said directly to Sheng Hong: "It's cold in the room. Master, why don’t you go back first?”
You must know that a woman’s biggest support in a deep house is the master of the family. Only by being favored by the master can she live a good life and her children will not be bullied. There will be no shortage of food and clothing, so there will be hope for life.
Ke Wei Xiaoniang deeply understands that such pampering is a disaster for people who have no foundation and no support, because she lives in the inner courtyard after all, and the ones who can control her are the eldest lady and her husband. Lin Sushuang, and more importantly, Sheng Hong would never offend a decent lady who had the support of her natal family and a generous dowry for her, nor would he love his concubine Lin Xiaoniang less for her.
In the final analysis, Wei Xiaoniang just understood that men are selfish and selfish, and understood that women are mostly useless to men.
Maybe it’s not that she doesn’t know how to please a man and fight within the family, maybe she just doesn’t despise this kind of trick and doesn’t want to become like Lin Xiaoniang, who scheming and scheming all day long. A woman, she just wants to keep the only self-esteem and pride in her heart, and keep a piece of pure land in her heart!
So Wei Xiaoniang knew that Sheng Hong liked smart and talented women, so she just made herself boring and dull, and took the initiative to make Sheng Hong dislike her.
In fact, Wei Xiaoniang is talented, smart, kind, dignified and generous.
Wasn't Minglan's throwing pot taught by Wei Xiaoniang? Although winning over Gu Tingye was the opponent's concession, the "Guan Er" and "Yizhan" throws are not something that just anyone can do. One can only imagine how inferior Wei Xiaoniang's skills in this area are.
In addition, Wei Xiaoniang was originally the daughter of a farming family, so she naturally read a lot of books. Moreover, looking at her education of Minglan, you can tell that she is also a smart woman.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used the reason that the old lady’s illness was just right for the Hua Lang Na test and it was not suitable to see blood to save Xiaodie’s life, let alone knowing that there was no hope of keeping Xiaodie. Before she died, she asked Minglan to go to the old lady no matter what, so that Minglan could stay far away so that Minglan would have something to rely on so that she would not live lonely and desolate in this deep house.
Wei Xiaoniang is that smart woman who knows the world but is not worldly, and is good at mocking herself but not others. She has seen through the warmth and coldness of people in this inner courtyard, and also knows the coldness and selfishness of men in that era, but she still Choosing such a way of living, I have to admit that she is the one who lives a transparent and rational life. Wei Xiaoniang knows how not to depend on men for her whole life, she is independent and self-reliant, and she has a big heart
Everyone said that "Knowledge" is a drama with a female protagonist. I didn't think so at first, but then I thought about it carefully. The theme is indeed a good drama for women to awaken, keep their original aspirations, and become self-reliant.
Both Minglan and Yanran, as well as Mrs. Zhang, have expressed this concept.
When Yanran cried and complained that she was afraid of marrying Gu Tingye, Minglan said: "Ms. Li is a woman. She can resist thousands of armies by herself without relying on her father and brothers."
Ms. Zhang's heart Frustrated and unwilling to stay at the Shen family, Minglan told the story of Fang's mother struggling to move forward and struggling for life. Mrs. Zhang started a different life with her fate, destiny and abilities all in the same place.
Minglan's otherworldly concept actually came from her biological mother, Wei Xiaoniang. The painting "Li Niangzi Guards Niangzi Pass" that was left to Minglan as a relic and was cherished by Wei Xiaoniang throughout her life is the best. evidence.
And Minglan has always remembered her mother's teachings and inherited her mother's spirit. She does not place her hopes on men, is self-reliant, and lives a good life on her own.
The best example is Minglan's theory of "treating her husband as her boss". She said:
"No one in this world has anyone's backer. He is a good man and he cares about others." Me, that’s good, but it’s best not to count too much on others. Everyone has their own difficulties. If you really want to count on it, it can’t be too much. The more you don’t count on too much, the more disappointment you will inevitably have. Resentment arises in the heart, and resentment lasts a lifetime. Hatred arises, and life becomes sad.
”
Isn’t this what Wei Xiaoniang has been doing? She does not expect to rely on Sheng Hong, carefully abides by her own inner rhythm and order, and tries her best to live her life with her own strength. Always use Mrs. Li's spirit to push herself. According to this big pattern, if Wei Xiaoniang was not born in that poor family, she would definitely become a person of noble character and great achievements.
Minglan has indeed followed. The old lady learned a lot of strategies and ways of being a housekeeper and a good person. She also always remembered the famous saying that she should live a good life in this world.
But what Minglan kept in mind throughout her life was that of Wei Xiaoniang. She was rational, self-reliant, and daring to fight, so Minglan later lived a life that was both rational and courageous, and she dared to sit in person and fight hard even when facing the rebels.
Wei Xiaoniang! She lived a life of indifference and had a sad and bleak ending, but it was her transparent temperament that allowed Minglan to bloom like a plum blossom despite being humiliated and bullied by frost. In the end, her heart was clear and transparent, and she lived a free and easy life. , if Wei Xiaoniang could live longer and be in a better family, I believe she would be like Minglan flying freely now!
