"Jin Ping Mei" is a book of saints, and it is also a book repeatedly recommended by great leaders. For us, the description of society and human nature in Jin Ping Mei has eternal reference significance.
Cao Xueqin borrowed a lot from Jin Ping Mei to write A Dream of Red Mansions.
.
People who haven't experienced Jin Ping Mei can't understand it. Read Jin Ping Mei, and those who have compassion are bodhisattvas.
He who fears the heart is also a gentleman;
Happy people are also villains;
What works is the animal's ear.
In Laos' view, many readers of Jin Ping Mei are worse than animals, haha.
.
Jin Ping Mei begins with the theory of wealth and color, which leads Ximen Qing to become sworn brothers.
"Once a horse dies, gold is exhausted, and relatives are strangers."
People in the world are all fighting for business, coming and going in a hurry, and can't jump out of the crisis of secular desires, but "only" wealth is more important. How can I tell his interest? If a person goes to that poor land, suffering from infinite desolation and endless troubles, comes to touch the rice jar at night, has no room to cook, gets up early to watch the kitchen, is ashamed of no fireworks, and his wife is hungry and cold, even if porridge and rice are still difficult, then he must spare money to sell wine! What's even more hateful is that relatives and friends look shabby, that is, Lingyun's ambition, especially killing people, how can he compare with others! ”。
And the tables have turned. "When you get to that rich season, you spend a lot of money on a smile." Thinking that drinking is really nectar, not an amber cup; Being angry with money is really bossing around. Spinal inflammation compresses the shoulder and sucks carbuncle and hemorrhoids. It's really a good point. It's an overlap and a miss. "There is nothing worse than inflammation and cold in ancient and modern times."
This kind of thing that "the rich live in the mountains and have distant relatives, and the poor live in the downtown area and no one asks" is as always.
.
The book says that this Ximen Qing is a romantic child, with a burly appearance, natural and unrestrained temperament and rich family. He is in his twenties and sixties.
I don't study very much, and I wander around all day. Since my parents died, I've been sleeping outside, making trouble, learning some good boxing sticks, gambling, gobang and doodling, all of which are familiar. The friends I make are also people who help others and don't keep their duties.
One of Ximen Qing's best friends is the Earl Ying, nicknamed "Ying Hanzi". At home, she used to run a silk and satin shop, and later "lost money and fell down, specializing in helping whoring and sticking rice in the third hospital of our company". The second Xie Xida, "When I was a child, my parents died, and I was idle and lost my future. I am also a diligent helper "; In addition to these two and Ximen Qing hit it off very well, the others are "all poor and nameless".
As for the reason why they made friends with Ximen Qing, they just "saw that Ximen Qing had money and was willing to pay it, so they were coaxed into playing with money, drinking, whoring and gambling together".
.
The book says, "Such a family gave birth to such an unworthy son and made such a group of useless and harmful friends. No matter how rich you are, there is still a long way to go. " In this case, Ximen Qing should be ruined, but why can his family business get more and more prosperous?
There is a reason for this. "Because of this Ximen Qing's strong nature, he is very complicated, and he borrows official debts, that is, the four treacherous court officials, Yang, Tong and Cai, also have ways to mix with him. Therefore, he is in charge of some official business in the county and tells people about the trouble, so people in the county are afraid of him. Because he ranks first, everyone calls him Simon.
It can be seen that Ximen Qing is not a playboy like the sperm on the brain in film and television works, but is strong-willed and sophisticated. Otherwise, how can he deal with the officials in Beijing and manage some business in the county? Ximen Qing is really a bully with calculation, skill and collusion between government and business. There are such people in ancient and modern times, and it is difficult to get rich.
.
As for a bully like Ximen Qing, why do you want to become sworn friends with a bunch of hooligans? He and his wife, Wu Yueniang, have a conversation: Ximen Qing will get together with a group of friends, and Wu Yueniang will cook two tables. Wu Yueniang said to Ximen Qing, "Don't say anything about this person, who is conscientious and licensed! There are no ghosts who come to hook up every day. "
Ximen Qing told his wife that "these guys" made him, and all of them were disobedient and good at doing things. Even Xie Zichun is a smart and capable person. We are now in such a dispute, just coming and going, not practical. Why don't we become sworn brothers at the meeting and have a place to live tomorrow? "
Wu Yueniang took it and said, "It's good to be sworn brothers. I'm afraid it's up to you the day after tomorrow. If you want to rely on others, take the puppet to the theater-you still need a breath. "
Ximen Qing said with a smile, "It is better to rely on people for a long time. Let's wait for the second brother to tell him this. "
Thus, Ximen Qing is a wise man. If he is a fool, he can't see people clearly, and he doesn't know who can use it, who can't use it and where it is used, then he can't do anything.
.
As soon as the couple had finished speaking, the Earl and Xie Xida came to Ximen Qing to introduce Cassia to him. Ximen Qing proposed to become sworn friends, and each of them gave some money. At the count's request, he quickly said, "I was right. Old women should burn incense, and old people who can't recite Buddha should do their best. It's just that we are all sores on the tail of mice-there is not much pus. " It means that these people are short of money and silver.
Then, it led to Hua Zixu, who is willing to spend a lot of money, and Li Pinger, who is a smart and beautiful lady.
At the request of the count, Xie Xida, Sun Tianhua, Zhu Nianshi, Wu Dianen, Yun Lishou, Chang Zhijie, Bai several idle people, and even two rich men, Ximen Qing and Huazixu, and ten people, all became brothers in the Jade Emperor Temple. When it comes to sorting,
Everyone said in unison, "This is naturally the residence of the great Simon." Ximen Qing said, "Let's make a confession. I think my second brother is as old as me, and I think my second brother should live long. " The count stuck out his tongue and said, "Sir, you don't have to kill a villain! For example, this year, I have to talk about some wealth, where it is easy to talk about my teeth! If your teeth are miles as big as mine. I have two disadvantages in being a big brother: first, I might as well be a prestigious and virtuous official, and all my brothers will obey you; Second, I used to be called Second Brother Ying, but now I live in a long place, but I have to be called Big Brother Ying. If two people come, one is called second brother ying and the other is called big brother ying, should I still be second brother ying and big brother ying? " Ximen Qing laughed: "You? Oh, heartbreak, only these idle words! " Xie Tao: "Brother, stop pushing." Ximen Qing was self-effacing again and again, but was forced to be the eldest brother by Hanako Xu, Impiaget and others. The second is to be an earl, the third is Xie Xida, and the fourth is to let Huazi Xufu get up and be the fourth brother.
The rich eldest brother wants to tell the truth from the count.
.
The reason why Ximen Qing made friends with these hooligans is the same as the fact that strongmen and bullies raised a bunch of hooligans.
They are all strong-willed. Being a boss needs help, and there are obviously many people. In addition, "make him follow everyone" can be controlled and used well. Doing bad things tastes the same. No matter from the satisfaction of vanity or practical utilitarian needs, bullies like Ximen Qing will naturally attract hooligans who are weaker than them.
But this kind of friendship, as the saying goes: holding a cup is deep, and brothers restrain their loved ones. Once a storm broke out on the ground, and we only saw each other when we met.
Just use each other, because the financial situation is together, it will also be scattered because of the financial situation. Where is there any friendship?
Perhaps, hell is on earth, which is established and self-evident.
