Why did Grandma Liu let Baner marry Qiaojie, who had been reduced to a fireworks woman?

Dream of Red Mansions has created many women with unparalleled talents, looks, and different personalities. Each of them has a bright color and comes from an official family. A relative of the royal family naturally has many conveniences. As long as the family does not decline, this person is destined to be rich. Life, ordinary people can't buy three days of happiness for them by working all their lives.

But if something unexpected happens, these women from wealthy families will become scapegoats and become the five most pitiable groups of women in the world. The earth doesn't work.

For example, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the women of the royal family who suffered the humiliation of Jingkang, these women who were born to be the best among the people, were used as debts to pay off and given to the Jurchens at different prices. As a result, these pampered women were Women all end up miserable. The good ones become concubines and toys for nobles and princes, and the bad ones become slaves in laundries. Except for a very small number of strong women who committed suicide, most of them were ravaged to death, and some still survived in the world.

Destiny is unpredictable. Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, the wind and water change, and people's fate often has many possibilities. For women, their fate is like duckweed, floating in the wind. Most of them cannot control their own destiny. It is their instinct to drift with the tide.

The brilliance of A Dream of Red Mansions is that it uses a group of wealthy families to describe the rise and fall of time. It also tells the world that no matter how many merits and honors the ancestors have, if their descendants fail to live up to expectations, learn and have no skills, they will eventually be able to escape the fate of family ruin and death. It is the same for ordinary people, scholar-bureaucrats, relatives of the emperor, and dignitaries.

At this time, if you do not accumulate virtue or do good deeds in advance, or even do a lot of bad things for the sake of wealth, others will inevitably take the opportunity to retaliate and add insult to injury. If you are lucky enough to be so kind, it will be just right. Opportunity pays off. In the Dream of Red Mansions, this is what happened to Sister Jia Qiao, which is in line with the ancient saying that a house that accumulates good deeds must have Yu Qing.

Wai Shi believes that her end is to warn others to do more good deeds and not to bully others. Although retribution is a confusing thing, sometimes you still have to believe in this evil.

Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion both experienced great wealth and wealth, as well as family and family ruin. Most of them drifted with the tide. When their family was in good condition, they acted recklessly, like parasites. The bottom line of human ethics.

After the Jia family was ransacked, they were conspired by Wang Ren, Jia Qiang, and others to sell it to a foreign prince, and then ended up in a brothel. If it hadn't been for Grandma Liu who Wang Xifeng helped, then Qiao Jie would probably be a member of Dream of Red Mansions. The most miserable of the two girls, but because she accidentally helped Grandma Liu, her daughter became the one with the best fate.

When Grandma Liu found out that Sister Qiao was bought into Fireworks Liuxiang, she worked hard to pull her out of the abyss with her grandson. She also ignored the so-called concept of chastity and arranged for her grandson Ban'er to marry Sister Qiao. Husband and wife, compared to other women with miserable life experiences, this is definitely a blessing, much better than 996.

All of this was done by using Wang Xifeng to help Grandma Liu who went to Jia Mansion for help. 20 taels of silver were just a drop in the bucket for Wang Xifeng. She didn’t even sneeze, and it was an unintentional kindness at the time. Having mercy and helping the poor is what is called retribution. At that time, Wang Xifeng could not imagine that her family would be in ruins, and Grandma Liu could not imagine this either.

But for an old farm lady, receiving help from others is definitely a great favor, and for her, 20 taels of silver is not a small amount. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a county magistrate's annual salary was only How much is it? For an ordinary family, 20 taels of silver is considered a windfall.

Of course, she is different from high-ranking officials. She will not add insult to injury, but will repay her kindness. Compared with Wang Ren and others who have human faces and animal hearts, Grandma Liu is the moral high point in the book at this time, and she spends all her money running for relief. A family member of a prison officer, for no other reason than for helping her in the first place.

After rescuing Sister Qiao from the fire pit, she arranged for her to get married to her grandson. In Grandma Liu’s view, it was her grandson’s fate that she could marry the daughter of the Jia family, so she didn’t think anything of it at this time. The secular concept is to protect Sister Qiao, and to find a good wife for her grandson. In the past, this was not something that could be dreamed of.

The so-called secular prejudice refers to the Ming and Qing Dynasties when the concept of chastity was very strong. Although the Fireworks and Willow Lane was loved by dignitaries, no one would really marry a woman from there. It would only be a short-term pleasure at most. Dew meets the source. For ordinary people, forget it, think about it, they don’t have that spare money.

Moreover, the concept of chastity shaped by Ming Dynasty science is only the concept of scholar-bureaucrats. For ordinary people, moral character is far more important than so-called chastity. It is not practical for ethereal things, but find a good woman who knows the basics. Living life is what matters.

Although Sister Qiao has experienced bad experiences, Grandma Liu knows her past, which is why she dared to let her grandson marry her. There is no worldly prejudice, one is practical, and the other is gratitude.
