Li Wan is the wife of the Lord of Rong Guo and the mother of Jia Lan. She is Guo Rongfu's eldest daughter-in-law, and she comes from a noble family. Her position should be higher than that of Wang Xifeng, the granddaughter of a large family. According to the ancient tradition of standing in the office, Li Wan should be reused. However, it is only virtue that she was educated when she was unmarried, so she is a standard feudal lady and does not fight for power and profit. Since her death, she has been devoted to educating and cultivating the next generation, so she is not prominent in the Jia family.
In the fourth episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a description of Li Wan: this Li is also the daughter of a famous official in Jinling, and her father's name is, who once offered wine to imperial academy. There are both men and women in the clan who don't recite poems. Since Shouzhong inherited it, he said that "women have virtue but no talent", so he gave birth to Li, so he didn't let him study very much. He just let him know a few words through three or four books, such as Four Books on Women, Biography of Women, Yuan Xian Collection, etc., and remembered the deeds of several virtuous women in the previous dynasty, only paying attention to his spinning performance. Li Wan was born in an official family, and her father, Li Shouzhong, thought that no talent is virtue, thus shaping the image of Li Wan as a feudal woman.
The latter book says: although Li Wan was widowed in youth and lived a splendid life, she was lifeless and never heard from; I only know how to serve my adopted son, but I accompany my sister-in-law to wait for the needle to read. Li Wan is a young widower. The book once mentioned Jia Lan's age, meaning that she was five or six years old. It was too late for ancient women to give birth at the age of 15 or 16, so I boldly speculated that Li Wan was only in her twenties, but she gave people the impression that she was a "lonely old man" and was older than her mother-in-law Mrs. Wang. In fact, she may be about the same age as Wang Xifeng. What Li Wan does every day is very simple, either educating her son or taking care of her sisters in the garden.
Li Wan written by Cao Gong is not as sophisticated and sleek as Xue Baochai, as delicate and touching as Lin Daiyu, and as talented as Wang Xifeng. But in fact, Li Wan lives seriously. Grandma asked Li Wan to move to the garden and let her take care of her sisters. Although she is married and has children, she can still play with her sisters.
Cao Gong's description of Li Wan's great events is not much, but in the thirty-seventh episode: Autumn Frost Zhai married Haitang Society, and Yuan Ye planned chrysanthemum, which left a deep impression on me. Subverted the impression that Li Wan gave me inner purity and no desire.
Although Li Wan was described this time because of Tanchun. Tanchun sent invitations to all the sisters, saying that she would open a poetry club, and Li Wan also participated. Li Wan also took over: "If you want to start a poetry club, I will recommend myself to be in charge of the altar. Another spring, that's what I meant. I thought about it. I can't write poetry. " ? Why did Li Wan recommend herself to take charge of the altar? Actually, she has thought about it. Jia mu asked her to take care of her sisters. Besides, she has a big place there, so she actually works for me as a club. Although I can't write poetry, these poets enjoy it. As a host, I naturally become elegant.
In my opinion, Li Wan is very careful. If you want to promote me as president, I naturally don't have enough presidents. If we must invite two vice presidents, please invite two Lingzhou pedants, one is limited in rhyme and the other is copied. We can't stop the three of us from doing it. If we encounter a relaxed rhyme, we will also write a song casually. Lingzhou Lotus Pavilion is the name given by Baochai to Yingying II and Xichun IV. Judging from where they live, it is very casual. But Li Wan took care of the feelings of Yingchun and Xichun, knowing that they were not good at writing poems, so she gave them a supervision and a rhyme. There is a sense of participation and you won't feel embarrassed.
Chapter 45: The words "wind and rain stop the wind and rain" describe that Li Wan went to Wang Xifeng as an imperial adviser. In fact, I want Wang Xifeng to give money. Wang Xifeng took one look: "Don't tease me, I guess. There, I was asked to be the supervisor of society. Obviously, I was asked to be a profitable copper merchant. " At this time, I first appreciated Li Wan's glib tongue. "Listen, what I said made him crazy. He said that two cars of rogue mud legs and the local customs will be careful and dial two words ... everyone in the world has been calculated by you. Thanks to your hand, it was yesterday. Did the yellow soup drown the dog's stomach ... I don't want to pick up Pinger's shoes. You two should only change one child. " Li Wan not only stood up for Pinger, but also insisted that Wang Xifeng pay to set up a poetry club. Xi-feng can only put down fifty taels of silver first and take care of it for you slowly. Its courage is worthy of being a sister-in-law.
It seems that Cao Gong's description of Li Wan is all because of the poetry club. The forty-ninth time: the glazed world is full of white snow and red plums, and the pink baby cuts the fishy smell. When Xue Pan and others arrived in Jiafu, Li Wan had an idea the next day: "My idea is that yesterday's sunny day has passed, it's too far away, so wait until it snows. Why don't we join a club, hold a dinner party for them and write poems? " What do you mean? "Look, open the club again.
After the poem, I drew a pot of Maolan, next to a beautiful woman wearing a rockhopper and a gown. It says: "peaches and plums bear fruit in the spring breeze. Who will end up like an orchid?" . If the ice water is so empty, it's a joke with others. "This is li wan's verdict. Finally, Li Wan's mother will be honored by her son, and Jia Lan will become an official. But in fact, the last sentence is the tragedy of Li Wan's fate, and Tso Gong will not let anyone feel better.
Finally, Li Wan died. I didn't have time to sing her song: wearing a pearl crown and a phoenix coat alone can't resist impermanence. Wan Zhe, it's over! Wan Zhe, it's over! Wan Zhe, it's over!
