Grandma Liu stood up and said loudly, "Lao Liu, Lao Liu, eat like a cow;" Don't look up after eating an old sow! " Say that finish, but drum cheeks, eyes looking straight ahead, without saying a word.
At first, they paused, and then they all burst out laughing together. Xiangyun couldn't hold on, and a mouthful of tea gushed out. Daiyu laughed out of breath, lying on the table and only shouted "Oh!"
Baoyu rolled into the old lady's arms, and the old lady smiled and hugged him, calling him "sweetheart". Mrs. Wang smiled and pointed at Feng, but she couldn't speak. Aunt Xue couldn't hold on, and the tea in her mouth was sprayed on Tanchun's skirt, and Tanchun's tea bowls were all on Yingchun.
Xichun left her seat, took the wet nurse and called "rubbing her intestines". There is no one in the ground who doesn't hunch over, but also hides out and squats and laughs, and some endure laughter to change clothes for their sisters.
From:
Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions
Comments:
The author Cao Xueqin vividly depicts everyone's different smiles, and profoundly and vividly sets off the characters' personalities, especially their social status, identity and relationship.
Shi Xiangyun is an outspoken person. He doesn't think twice about what he usually does. At this time, naturally, it broke out first, laughing.
Lin Daiyu is a delicate, withdrawn and self-purified person, so she "laughs at her desk and just calls her' alas'"!
Baoyu usually spoiled in front of the old lady, and then "rolled into the old lady's arms" with a smile. ...
Domestic servants, on the other hand, had no position in feudal society, so they could not laugh heartily in front of their masters. They could only "hide out and squat and laugh" and "endure laughter to change clothes for their sisters".
It is precisely because the author firmly grasps the class background, social status and personality characteristics of the characters that he portrays such reasonable and intriguing details of "laughter" and makes readers love it.

Excerpt from Granny Liu's entry into the Grand View Garden:
Back to the 40th Shi Taijun Grand View Garden for two banquets? Yapailing, San Xuan, Jin Yuanyang
Hearing this, Baoyu hurried in to have a look. Amber stood in front of the screen and said, "Go, I'll wait for you to talk." Baoyu went to the upper room and found the old lady discussing with Mrs. Wang's sisters to give Shi Xiangyun a seat.
Baoyu said, "I have an idea. Since there are no foreigners, don't set the sample number of food. Whoever likes to eat it every day, just pick a few and cook it.
Don't press the table mat, put a high paper in front of everyone, one or two things that everyone likes to eat, and a assorted worry-free box to pour the pot yourself. Isn't it chic? "It's absolutely true," said Grandmother Jia. "。"
Busy life to the kitchen: "tomorrow, we pick out what we like to eat and box it according to the number of people." Breakfast will also be served in the garden. " During the discussion, I lit the lamp early and had nothing to say all night.
I got up early the next morning and was glad it was sunny. Li Wan got up early in the morning and watched the old ladies and maids sweep the fallen leaves, clean the tables and chairs and prepare tea and wine utensils. Only Xifeng brought granny Liu in and said, "Granny is very busy.
"Li Wan said with a smile," I said you couldn't go yesterday. You're just busy going. Granny Liu said with a smile, "The old lady left me and told me to have a lively day. "。 "Feng son took some keys.
Said: "Our grandmother said that the height outside may not be enough, so it is better to open the building and take down the collection for one day. Originally, grandma was going to come in person, but because she was talking to her wife, she was asked to open it and take people with her. "
Li ordered Suyun to get the key, and sent the old lady to the second door to call some pages. Li stood downstairs in the Grand View and looked up, making people go up to open the brocade pavilion and carry it down one by one.
The page, the old woman and the girl started work together and carried down more than 20 paintings. Li Wan said, "It's good to be alive. Don't come in such a hurry, be careful to touch your teeth. " Then she turned to Grandma Liu and said with a smile, "Grandma, go up and have a look, too."
Granny Liu heard that she wanted to make a noise, so she climbed the ladder with the plank. When she went in, she saw a pile of screens, tables and chairs, lanterns and so on. Although she doesn't know them very well, she only sees colorful displays, each with its own wonders.
Read the Buddha several times and then come down. Then they locked the door and came down together. "I'm afraid the old lady will be happy," said Li Wan. "I'm afraid I have to move the boat, paddles and umbrellas down to prepare."
Everyone agreed, and then opened it again, and all colors moved down. They asked the page to drive the girls to the dock to support the two boats. While making arrangements, I saw the old lady bring a group of people in.
Li Wan hurried to meet him and said with a smile, "The old lady was happy and fell in. I just thought I had picked chrysanthemums to send before I combed my hair. " Say, Biyue has held a lotus leaf-shaped jade plate with various chrysanthemum branches on it.
Grandmother Jia picked a red hairpin and put it on her temples. As soon as she turned around and saw grandma Liu, she smiled and said, "Come and get flowers." Before the words were finished, Xi Xifeng pulled Granny Liu over and said with a smile, "I'll dress you."
As she spoke, she put a plate of flowers at one end. Jia Mu and others all laughed. "I don't know what I did here, but I am decent today."
They all laughed: "You didn't pull it out, and it fell on his face, making you look like an old demon." Grandma Liu said with a smile, "Although I am old, I also had an affair when I was young. I love flowers and powder, but I'm glad I'm old today. "
Forty-first back, tea cui temple, plum blossom snow, courtyard, robbed the mother locust:
It is said that Grandma Liu put her hands together and said, "The flowers have all fallen into big pumpkins." Everyone burst into laughter. So after eating the door cup, she quipped, "To tell you the truth, I was clumsy. After drinking, I accidentally bumped into this porcelain cup.
I took a cup with wood and missed it. It doesn't matter if I fall to the ground. Hearing this, everyone laughed again. Hearing this, Feng smiled and said, "If you really want wood, I'll take it.
First of all, this wooden one can't compare with the porcelain one. It's all the same. Be sure to eat them all. Granny Liu said to herself, "I was only joking, but he took it seriously.
I often go to dinner with the squire in the village. I have seen all the gold and silver cups, but I have never seen a wooden cup. Oh, yes, it must be a wooden bowl made by children, but I am encouraged to drink two more bowls.
Leave him alone, just like wine and honey. It doesn't hurt to drink more ideas. "He thought about it and said," Let's discuss it. Xi told Xi-feng, "Go to the front and back. "。 There are ten bamboo cups on the bookshelf.
Hearing this, Xifeng agreed to go. "。 Yuanyang said with a smile, "I know you are still young for ten cups. Besides, you just said they were made of wood, and now you have brought bamboo roots, which is not nice.
Why don't you bring ten boxwood roots to dig a big cup here and fill him with ten tricks? "Peak said with a smile," so much the better. "Yuanyang fruit life people take it.
Granny Liu was surprised and happy when she saw it. To her surprise, there are ten in a row, one for each size. It's as big as a small basin, and the tenth smallest one is twice as big as the cup in her hand. What makes her happy is the exquisite carvings, the same scenery and trees, as well as cursive characters and pictures.
Being busy, he said, "Just take the small one. Why so many? " Xi-feng said with a smile, "You don't have to drink this cup. Because our family doesn't have such a large amount, no one dares to be him.
Grandma wants it, and it's easy to find it. She must eat it one by one. Granny Liu was taken in and said, "I dare not." . Good aunt, spare me. "
Grandmother Jia, Aunt Xue and Lady Wang all knew that he was too old to eat. They quickly smiled and said, "Laugh, laugh, don't eat too much, just have this cup." Grandma Liu said, "Amitabha! I'd better have a small glass.
Put this mug away and I'll take it home and eat it slowly. "They laughed again. Yuanyang had no choice but to order someone to fill it, and Granny Liu held it in her hand. "Aunt Xue said," Slow down and stop choking. " .
Aunt Xue told Feng to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Xifeng smiled and said, "You tell me what grandma wants to eat, and I'll give it to you." Granny Liu said, "What name do I know? Everything is fine. "
Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "Give him some tomatoes." Hearing this, Xifeng put some eggplants into Granny Liu's mouth as promised, because she said with a smile, "You eat eggplant every day and try our eggplant."
Grandma Liu smiled and said, "Don't tease me. Eggplants all taste like this. We don't need to grow food, just grow eggplant." They smiled and said, "It's really eggplant. We won't fool you any more.
"Granny Liu said in surprise," Is it really eggplant? I ate for nothing for a long time. My aunt fed me some more and chewed it carefully. Xi Xifeng brought some more fruits and sent them to her mouth. "。 Grandma Liu chewed it carefully for a long time and said with a smile, "Although it smells like eggplant, it just doesn't look like eggplant.
Tell me what to do, and I'll make it eat. "That's not difficult," said Xi-feng with a smile. . Have you peeled the eggplant that just came down? Ok, just wash the meat, cut it into broken nails, fry it with chicken, and then use chicken breast and dried mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms and five spices.
Cut all kinds of dried fruits into nails, simmer them with chicken soup, collect sesame oil, mix them with bad oil, seal them in a porcelain jar, and take them out when you want to eat them, and eat them with fried chicken and fried melon. "
Granny Liu shook her head and spat out her tongue and said, "My Buddha! Poured a dozen chickens to match him. What a strange smell! " While joking, I finished my wine slowly, just playing with that cup.
Feng smiled and said, "This is not fun. Let's have another drink. " Grandma Liu quickly said, "Great, then I will be drunk to death. I like this style, but what did he do? " Yuanyang said with a smile, "What kind of wood is this cup?"
Granny Liu said with a smile, "You can't blame the girl for not knowing. How can you know wood in this golden gate embroidery? We became neighbors with Woods. We sleep with him when we are sleepy, sit next to him when we are tired, eat him when we are hungry when we are hungry, and see him in our eyes every day.
I listen to him in my ears and talk about him in my mouth every day, so I know him. Let me recognize him. As I spoke, I studied him carefully for a long time and said, "People like you will never have that kind of cheap thing, and you won't take the wood that is easy to take.
I weighed this cup, and it's definitely not poplar. It must be yellow pine. "Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
