Red Mansions Become Baochai

Let's go. ”

Seeing that her father is still so stubborn, Baochai is afraid that Xue Pan will be chilled, and the relationship between father and son is drifting away. Secondly, Xue Pan has performed well recently, and it is worthless if it is because all previous efforts have been wasted.So he boldly walked up to Xue Pan and knelt down with a plop.

Knowing filial piety, Baochai admonishes parents

Baochai's kneeling was so sudden that no one responded for a while.After a long while, Mrs. Xue exclaimed, "My son, what's the matter?" " Then he went to the hall to help Baochai up.

Baochai knelt upright, and would not get up if anyone tried to persuade her.Xue Ke didn't know why his daughter was like this, so he hurriedly asked: "Chai'er, could it be that she is angry with her father? Get up quickly."

Baochai shook her head and said, "My daughter would be so ignorant, but my father said that my brother had done something wrong and must be punished to kneel. My daughter also did something wrong, so naturally she should also kneel." While talking, the tears were like broken threads The beads across the small face.

This behavior may seem hypocritical to others, but Baochai's actions are perfectly natural.She has traveled through time, the environment has changed, her family has changed, things have changed, but her heart has not changed. In her heart, family affection is the most important thing.Baochai only felt that the family affection of the two generations was swollen in her blood, and she was willing to do anything in order to change the fate of the family.

Mrs. Xue saw a pair of sons and daughters kneeling together, and she also cried.Seeing his younger sister crying on her knees, Xue Pan felt very guilty, and thought that although her younger sister was a daughter, she was much more loyal than his school friends.

Seeing that Baochai was crying, Gu Yunzhen wanted to give the plain handkerchief in his sleeve to his cousin, but he was a little embarrassed, after thinking for a while, he bravely came over and handed the handkerchief to Baochai, Baochai nodded his thanks, Just won't take it.Gu Yunzhen wanted to wipe her tears, but didn't dare, so he was stunned for a while.

Seeing her daughter's crying face wrinkled, Xue Ke felt even more distressed. She stood up and asked softly, "What did Chaier do wrong? You should tell Dad first."

Baochai stopped crying, and made up his mind, saying: "Daddy told me that there is a passage in the "Disciple Regulations": If you have a relative, you will make more remonstrance, please my color, and soften my voice. Sui, no resentment. The elder brother made trouble in the school, and the daughter knew that the elder brother was wrong and should be punished. But besides the elder brother, there are other people who are also at fault. The daughter dared not speak up, so she could only kneel down and ask her parents for guilt."

Xue Ke frowned and said in surprise: "Except for your elder brother, everyone involved in this matter is from other family members. This sentence of the disciple's regulation means that the elders of the family have made mistakes, and they should be discouraged as children. That is also the righteousness of filial piety. Are you thinking wrong?"

Xue Ke has always loved his daughter the most, knowing that it was wrong for Baochai to intervene in family affairs at a young age, but he couldn't bear to criticize her harshly.Baochai wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and replied, "Daughter is not mistaken, this is what Daddy taught me."

"Ah?" Xue Ke was surprised: "How do you say that? Could it be that you think the elders in the family are also wrong?"

Baochai replied with tears in her eyes: "That's exactly what my daughter said." After thinking for a while, she mustered up her courage and said loudly: "Father and mother are also at fault."

When Mrs. Xue heard this, she was afraid that her husband would blame her daughter, so she hurriedly stopped: "Chai'er, don't talk nonsense." Then she turned to Xue Ke and said, "Chai'er is still a petty person. If you don't understand and say something wrong, master, please don't take it to heart. .”

Xue Ke was slightly startled when he heard this, but he was not angry. He just waved his hands and said to Mrs. Xue, "Although it is a child's talk, Cha'er has also been educated. Let her explain why?"

The other adults in the room were a little curious when they saw that Baochai was a child and dared to say that their parents were at fault, so they calmed down and listened to what she had to say.

Baochai raised her face and said, "It's my father's fault if I don't raise him. If I don't teach strictly, I'm lazy. Daddy, let's talk about the gentleman in the ethnology first. Daddy knows that he is not very knowledgeable and has little virtue, so he sent him back." Where does my brother go to school? My brother is only seven years old, and the most important thing is to learn from a teacher to teach and teach. But what kind of good students can a gentleman like Xue Xueru teach? My father taught me to read and write, but he thinks that my brother is not smart enough. I don’t want to teach him. Even if my daughter inherits my father’s knowledge, she can’t replace my brother. In the future, I won’t be able to set up a family and share my father’s worries and labors.”

Xue Ke couldn't help being a little moved when he heard his daughter say this. In fact, he didn't know these truths.It's just because Xue Pan is his bloodline, he originally had high hopes for this eldest son.But when Xue Pan grew up, except for his appearance, he still resembled him, but his temperament and behavior were completely different.Taught Xue Pan to learn the "Three Character Classic", and he still couldn't memorize it by heart in a month.It was too far from my own expectations, and gradually I became more and more dissatisfied with this son, and my hope for a successful son gradually faded.

Xue Ke's face was as sinking as water, and the pupils in his deep eyes under his eight-character eyebrows became even darker.Hearing what his sister said, Xue Pan was inexplicably moved. He straightened his waist and knelt in front of the hall, lowered his head, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back, and big drops fell on the water-polished blue brick floor.

But I heard Baochai continue: "Daddy is very kind to his daughter, and she is very grateful to her. Daddy often said that strict love makes a filial son, and mediocre love makes a rebellious son. But when Daddy goes home every day and sees his elder brother, he always has a head instead of a face. It's not a face, it's rare to have a pleasant face. I'm so scared that my brother will be silent when he sees his father, and he doesn't even dare to ask him about his homework. Usually, his father is too strict with his brother, and he will be beaten and punished if he doesn't like it. If this continues, my brother will grow up How can it become a weapon in the future?"

Baochai saw her mother crying with red eyes. Although she couldn't bear to make her sad, she had no choice but to continue: "Father is too strict, and mother is too lenient. My brother caused trouble outside. Someone came to tell her, and my mother quietly made people think about it." The solution was solved, and I kept it from my father so that he would not know about it. My brother didn’t read and practice hard, and my mother always protected my brother. Before my father checked my brother’s class books, and my mother asked the servant to help my brother cheat. Does my mother know that there are people out there? Calling my brother a little bully? It doesn’t take a day to freeze a foot. If it weren’t for mother’s connivance, how could my brother dare to run amok outside and just dawdle without studying hard?”

Baochai's words have been kept in her heart for a long time, and today she poured out her heart and soul in front of her parents, and she just felt indescribably happy.In her opinion, one of the main reasons for the four major families in Dream of the Red Chamber to go from prosperity to decline is that there are no successors.

Except for Xue's family, Baochai didn't know much about historians, and presumably none of his children were particularly outstanding.In the Wang family, she only remembered that Wang Xifeng had a brother named Wang Ren, who later sold Qiaojie for a little money, which shows how poor her character is.

In Jia Jiabaoyu's generation, Jia Rong from Ningfu was just an embroidered pillow, plus the No. [-] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the Red Mansion.Jia Lian was considered talented among men, knew some economics, and was able to take care of trivial internal affairs, but he was also unable to support the pretentious Jia Mansion that was doomed to collapse.In addition, Jia Lian is a slutty son. After marrying Wang Xifeng, his limelight was overshadowed by his own wife. Later, he seemed to concentrate on making romantic debts. The autumn tung lotus root is broken.

Because Jia Huan is a concubine, he has always been ignored, and has long lacked the care of his family.In the later period, her psychology became more and more distorted from childishness, and she went further and further on the road of treachery.

As for Jia Baoyu, he was a living treasure, he had nothing to worry about, he was only willing to sing poems and paint with his sisters and sisters in the Grand View Building, play the piano and play chess, or make fun of the maids all day long.Not only does he not appreciate anyone who wants to persuade him to make progress, talk to him about the economics of his official career, but he also scolds others for fame.Counting on him is worse than counting on his sister Tanchun, or his nephew Jialan.

It can be seen from this that the children and grandchildren of the four major families are the beat generation compared to their ancestors. The family of Zhongming Dingshi, the family of calligraphy and poetry, and the descendants of the family can't find a person who can turn the tide.

In Baochai's view, the one who knows how to educate children in Dream of Red Mansions is not Jia's mother, who is full of children and grandchildren, but Yuanchun, who enters the palace as a concubine and has nothing to do all her life.

Concubine Jia Yuan told her parents to raise Baoyu well: If you are not strict, you cannot become a weapon, but if you are too strict, you will be in danger.One of the words "strict" is the most important.If it is too strict, children will only be in awe of their parents, and will not be able to feel close to them, and it will be even more difficult to have feelings of admiration.Not to mention the indifference of feelings, if the string is too tight and something happens, it will be too late to regret.Not being strict is tantamount to letting go. If a wealthy family like the Four Great Families blindly dotes on their children, the children will either grow up to be like Jia Rong, who only knows about sensuality, or Xue Pan, who is lawless and rampant. Presumptuous little overlord.

In terms of Xue Pan's education in the Xue family, Xue Ke and Mrs. Xue went to two extremes.Xue Ke was too eager to hope that his son would become a success, and it was inevitable that he acted too hastily, because Xue Pan was not a precocious child, and he didn't have much talent in reading, so he decided that Xue Pan was a piece of rotten wood that could not be carved.Mrs. Xue was too indulgent to her son, and she was too lenient.As the saying goes, too much is too late, and the result is often counterproductive.Xue Pan vacillated between two diametrically opposite loves, lost his focus, and became a naughty child.

After hearing what his daughter said, Xue Ke felt very complicated, and it was hard to describe it for a while. He could feel her daughter's sincere heart.There is a daughter's filial piety to her parents, and even more worry about her brother's future.He suddenly felt that he had made mistakes in the past, and what could be more important than cultivating the next generation. Such a simple truth, even his daughter can understand, why he has been confused until now?

Seeing her daughter being so honest and speaking her mind in front of everyone, Mrs. Xue felt ashamed and speechless at first, but she was very pleased when she heard that her daughter was so sensible and always wanted to relieve her parents' worries.

How could she not know that her son was not specialized in studying and did not want to make progress, but she was a woman with little knowledge and eyes
