When everyone laughed, Xue Baochai was not depicted

No brainless questions, no one pays attention to you.

The description of Baochai's appearance is as follows:

In the fifth chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", it is described that "Baochai is born with smooth muscles and bones, and her demeanor is elegant. The lips are red without dotting, the eyebrows are green without painting, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like apricots. He is also square in character and beautiful in appearance, and many people say that Daiyu is beyond his reach. ”

On his head, he held a black and oily Su'er, a honey-colored cotton jacket, a rose-purple two-color gold and silver mouse shoulder gown, and a green onion yellow silk cotton skirt, which was half new and not old, and it didn't look luxurious. The lips are red without dotting, the eyebrows are green without painting, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like apricots. Rare words, people say that they are stupid; Settle at any time, self-cloud.

The author's description of Xue Baochai's appearance is different from Lin Daiyu's appearance

The reason why the author wrote this shows that Baoyu actually didn't have any feelings for Xue Baochai at first sight, and it was only in the gradual relationship that she slowly discovered her beauty through the discovery of others and her own attention.

The lips are red without dotting, the eyebrows are green without painting, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like apricots.

This is the beauty in the standard laity aesthetics, just because this kind of beauty can be said and done, just like Baochai's behavior is set according to the mold of the feudal boudoir, lacking personality.

Daiyu is a kind of beauty with its own flash, and as soon as it appears, it has already shocked the world; Baochai is a kind of beauty with its own stealth technique, and you don't want to attract too much attention as soon as you appear.

But beauty cannot be hidden, there is great beauty in heaven and earth, and the same is true of Baochai. It's just that these ordinary people can only look at their appearance, only look at their appearance, but it is difficult to understand their hearts.

Daiyu is lucky, she meets her soul confidant Baoyu; It is unfortunate that Baoxu is troublesome, and she is too low-key, and she only gets the approval of the feudal parents.

Jia Baoyu has always respected Xue Baochai, and he stays away.

Jia Baoyu can tell Lin Daiyu the story of the rat essence; can use the sentences in "The Legend of the West Chamber" to make fun of Lin Daiyu; You can cry and laugh as much as you like in front of Lin Daiyu. And these, Jia Baoyu has never done it in front of Xue Baochai, first, Xue Baochai did not give him the opportunity to do so; The second is that Jia Baoyu can't get close to the cold beauty Xue Baochai.

Jia Baoyu usually has to pay attention to this cousin when she speaks, for fear of offending her by saying the wrong thing. When the remarks of Jin Yu's marriage spread in Jiafu, with Jia Baoyu's soft personality like water, he would not say anything to Xue Baochai. Could it be that these are Jia Baoyu's true thoughts about Xue Baochai?

Let's take a look at a very small detail to see what Jia Baoyu is doing to Xue Baochai.

In the thirty-sixth episode of "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Baoyu had just finished being beaten and was still recuperating. One day, Xue Baochai entered Yihong Courtyard by the way. It just so happened that the attacker was doing needlework, and his neck hurt and he wanted to go out for a walk.

Xue Baochai happened to sit in the original position of the attacker, and also did needlework for the attacker. Some red scholars, such as Liu Xinwu, interpret this paragraph, saying that Xue Baochai can sit there and do needlework, but in fact, he already has thoughts about Baoyu and that kind of golden and jade relationship.

As he was doing, he heard Jia Baoyu shouting and scolding in a dream: "How can the words of the monk and Taoist priest be trusted? What is the marriage of gold and jade, I prefer to say that it is the marriage of wood and stone".

Xue Baochai was stunned when he heard this. shouted and scolded, and said all the things that Jia Baoyu didn't dare to say to Xue Baochai in this form. Therefore, it may not be a real dream.

Jia Baoyu probably chose this kind of clever expression, saying this kind of dream talk, only Baoyu and Baochai, and no third party was present. First, you can avoid the embarrassment with Xue Baochai, because it is a dream talk, Xue Baochai will not be embarrassed, who told you to eavesdrop on other people's dream words; Second, Jia Baoyu could take the opportunity to say what he wanted to say and express his dissatisfaction with the marriage between Xue Baochai and Jin Yu. If you usually say it, it will definitely cause others to talk about it and attract the attention of Mrs. Wang and others.

This kind of dream talk between two people on occasions is just right, and Xue Baochai will not say it to the third person.

So even if Jia Baoyu marries Xue Baochai, she will always be just a sister in his heart, and even has dissatisfaction with marriage, which can be said to have little to do with the relationship between men and women. This is also why red scholars say that Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu have no husband and wife after marriage.

The appearance is that the face is like a silver basin, the eyes are the same as the apricots, the lips are not dotted but contain Dan, and the eyebrows are not painted but emerald.

The character is rare and silent, people are said to be stupid, safe at any time, and clumsy.

When the author introduced her appearance, he said that she was "a man of few words, and people say that she is stupid; At any time, self-congruence", this is clearly a sarcastic statement. In the twenty-second episode, she even borrowed the girl's pendant to suspect that Baochai had hidden her fan, pointing out her character traits of being good (fan) hidden.

In the eighth chapter, the author writes that "the lips are red without dotting, the eyebrows are green without painting, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like apricots." In the twenty-eighth chapter, the same description is made. Cao Xueqin's repeated description of her face is implicit, because they are not the literary language created by Cao Xueqin, but directly from the description of Wu Yueniang's appearance in "The Words of the Golden Bottle and Plum":

His face is like a basin of silver, his eyes are like apricots, his demeanor is gentle, and he is solemn and silent." The author uses words and sentences to write about the appearance of a secular woman in the market to write about Xue Baochai's appearance, which cannot but be said to be implicitly derogatory.

The author wrote that Xue Baochai ate "cold incense pills", which should "require 12 taels of white peony stamens that bloom in spring, 12 taels of white lotus stamens that bloom in summer, 12 taels of white hibiscus stamens in autumn, and 12 taels of white plum stamens in winter". The famous flowers of the four seasons are all white, highlighting the word "cold", which is also a summary of Xue Baochai's image, showing the "ruthless" characteristics of her character. Baochai's calmness and sanity reached an astonishing degree, as if she had no feelings.

Mrs. Wang, who was dying of death, was still upset about Jin Chuan's death, and Xue Nerd, who did all kinds of evil, was still sad about her friend's "cold escape", and Baochai's reaction to these two things was only how to comfort Mrs. Wang and how to settle the family that followed her brother. This kind of ruthlessness is probably the only one in the whole book.
