In Dream of Red Mansions, what is the high level showing off wealth ?

We often say that "poverty limits my imagination", isn't it? When we face the Jiafu in the Dream of Red Mansions, especially in the face of the wealth of some people in Jiafu and the wealth of some people, we can't help but feel a sense of envy in our hearts. The family in Jiafu and the rich and prosperous life are really unimaginable for poor people like us!

In the upper-class family of the upper class of the upper class like Jiafu, of course, in real life, there is no lack of some scenes of showing off wealth, so the flaunting of wealth in Jiafu, according to the title, is probably a kind of "high-level flaunting of wealth"! And this kind of high-level flaunting of wealth is a height that is difficult for poor people to reach.

First of all, let's focus on Xue Baochai and Wang Xifeng, whether it is Xue Baochai or Wang Xifeng, these two are real egoists, the two of them are really wealthy, and the two of them show off their wealth is really powerful, but compared with people like Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and Wang Xifeng's high-level display of wealth, in my opinion, is just a bit vulgar. Behind Xue Baochai is the Xue family, and the background of the Xue family can be said to be a big chaebol, and the seven words "pearls are like earth, gold and iron" are the best modifiers used to describe the Xue family. It can be seen that the Xue family's wealth is by no means in vain, and this point is truly reflected in Xue Baochai.

Wang Xifeng, as Xue Baochai's cousin and the housekeeper in Jiafu, does have a fight with Xue Baochai's way of showing off his wealth. When Wang Xifeng talks to ordinary people, she always emphasizes the wealth of the Wang family behind her, intentionally or unintentionally. I don't know if you still remember this scene" When Wang Xifeng and her husband Jia Lian quarreled, Wang Xifeng said angrily to Jia Lian, sweep the seams of our Wang family, enough for your Jia family to live a lifetime!

Wang Xifeng's sentence, in the whole Dream of Red Mansions, can definitely be called the first sentence of high-level wealth display.

Compared with Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai, let's look at Lin Daiyu again, Lin Daiyu was in Jia's house as soon as she appeared, but this does not mean that Lin Daiyu has no money, Lin Daiyu's showing off her wealth, in my opinion, can be called "high-level". Because Lin Daiyu is not only showing off money, but also talent. When Lin Daiyu was brought to Jiafu, she just brought an old mother and a girl snow goose with her.

Daiyu's demeanor is not like Jia's mother's granddaughter, she is simply her own granddaughter" This sentence was said by Wang Xifeng, and two messages can be seen from this sentence: one is that Lin Daiyu was born in a scholarly family and has extremely high quality; The second is that Lin Daiyu's family is prominent and rich.

Some people say that the money for the renovation of the Grand View Garden in Jiafu was taken from Lin Daiyu, but no direct evidence is given in the book Dream of Red Mansions, but judging from the things Lin Daiyu used in Jiafu, especially the degree of Jia's mother's love for Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu must have brought a lot of money when she came to Jiafu. However, I think that "having poetry and books in the belly" is Lin Daiyu's unique way to show off her wealth.

The high-end flaunting of wealth is probably exquisite everywhere. For example, a series of steps before eating in Jiafu, as well as the various dishes eaten, all reveal the atmosphere of a large family, which invisibly makes people feel very rich.

The most advanced flaunting of wealth in the Dream of Red Mansions is Lin Daiyu's talent and Jia's mother's insight. Although Lin Daiyu does not have a group of servants, she has poetry and books in her belly, and her temperament is naturally outstanding.

Baochai and Wang Xifeng's flaunting of wealth is pure money, which is indeed huge, but it is slightly vulgar; Dai Yu shows off her talent, Jia Muxiu shows her knowledge, and getting rich without showing off is the highest way.

In Dream of Red Mansions, after Wang Xifeng joined Jiafu, from the conversation between her and her husband, she said that she could support her family with just a little bit of wealth, which invisibly revealed that she was very rich; Xue Baochai's pocket money was 10 times the monthly money of the girl in Jiafu, and she bought bird's nest for Lin Daiyu and ginseng for Mrs. Wang.

Daiyu has never had any extravagant behavior in Jiafu, but in a careful examination of Daiyu's "belly with poetry and books", she found that her flaunting of wealth was not ordinary.
