Chapter 596

I don’t understand "Dream of Red Mansions" as a young person. I am already middle-aged when I read it. In the beautiful Grand View Garden, there is such an old man. She is full of ostentatiousness. In order to win Jia’s mother’s favor, she constantly makes various ugliness. Let the grandma ladies tease, this person is Grandma Liu.

  Many people didn't like her very much at the beginning, and felt that she was living too without self-esteem, but then everyone gradually understood her suffering.

  If it is not forced by life, who wants to be like the dust on the bottom of other people's feet?

  Grandma Liu entered Jia's house for the first time because it was really difficult at home. His daughter and son-in-law were embarrassed to come, and her old lady was not afraid of people making jokes, so she went to Jia's house with a cheeky face.

  This time she met Sister Feng and got 20 taels of silver, which is enough for their farmers to live for a year.

In the old days when Jia Mansion was gaining power, the rice that Jia’s mother ate was the same as the emperor’s Yutian japonica rice. In the book, Feng Jie once said that Li Wan’s monthly bill was 20 taels of silver, and one month’s pocket money was the farmers’ money for one year. The second time Grandma Liu came to Mrs. Wang, she gave Grandma Liu a hundred taels of silver, which shows that Jia's family was rich in wealth during its heyday.

  But when she got to the back, Mrs. Wang couldn't even take out the birthday gift money for Jia's mother.

At that time, Sister Feng said to Jia Lian, "The old lady's birthday is the old one. The wife has been too anxious for two months and can't think of a way. I still mentioned that there are four or five boxes of big copper tin guys upstairs that don’t matter. , I took it for three hundred pieces of silver to get my wife out of shame."

  Later, even Wang Xifeng began to **** his dowry. When he was rich, he was lavish, and when he was not, he pawned things at home. A courageous housewife should sever all human relations at this time, and should not waste three hundred taels of silver on "member money". It is still difficult to tell when it is time.

   Scarlett ignored other people’s rumors and still sold the wood to the Yankees. Morality can be put aside in the face of survival issues, let alone etiquette.

  Men are responsible for making money and women are responsible for housekeeping. This is the basic model of a Slytherin family. If you marry a rich family, if you don’t know how to manage the housekeeper’s money, you will just spend money desperately. Such little women and "old women" will definitely be incompatible.

  The nemesis of women is another woman. Zhenfei and Cixi got along very well at first. They both liked taking pictures, but in the end they became unable to get along with each other because of a small matter. How big is it to "possess a pose"? The problem is that Cixi cares about "physique". The less "concubine" Zhen concubine looks at her, the more disgusting she becomes.

  "Old women" pay much attention to traditions, but "new women" are different. Zhenfei also spends a lot of money on makeup. How can she attract the attention of Emperor Guangxu because of her beauty. She was not the first to sell official Wanjue. It is true that women are prone to this phenomenon when they are involved in politics. For example, Princess Anle and Princess Taiping in the Tang Dynasty, but she didn't figure out who she was. She was a royal daughter-in-law and not blood relatives. Killing her Empress Dowager is not at all. Will feel distressed.

  The princesses and nobles of the Tang dynasty raised many literati and literati, similar to the Medici and Borgia families in the Renaissance. They supported many artists, and the ancient prose movement had already begun in the Tang dynasty.

  After the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the country declined, the vassal and the town were segregated, and the eunuchs took power. Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan advocated ancient prose, with the purpose of restoring the ancient Confucianism, and turning the reform of the style of writing and the revival of Confucianism into a mutually complementary movement. In the end, this ancient prose movement did not break out of the barriers of Confucianism, that is, it did not break out of the "Eight Pi" rule that the ruling class enjoys privileges, and did not achieve equality before the law.

The biggest difference of the New Culture Movement is the ideological trend of equality. This movement has dealt a heavy blow to the traditional ethics that have ruled China for more than 2,000 years. The "eight pirates" are removed from Chinese laws. There is no longer a privileged class in the Constitution of the Republic of China. But freedom and equality are still only left on paper, and the country is still under the dictatorship of Chiang Kai-shek. This is the same reason that Washington became president and some people asked him to be the king of the United States. Feudal thinking cannot be removed for a while, and it takes time to adapt. .

However, it is not so simple to let the privileged class give up privileges. Those who have made military merits must be rewarded. The Malfoys came to England with William the Conqueror and were entrusted to the land of Wales. After so many years of annexation, the land has become very vast. This time, in order to get rid of prison, the old Malfoy tried his best. At least they did not fall to the point of becoming a seller. Lucius just sold the **** stolen stolen goods. It was easy for Kingsley to move these "losers". , But it is not so easy to reduce the power of the Gryffindor pure-blood aristocrat who is also the winner.

  Gunter’s family was also very popular for a while, and it was full of ostentation. When it came to Merope, there was only an ancestral ring and a locket left in the family.

  The pure-blooded aristocrats who were losers, especially those with the Dark Demon mark on their arms, began to **** their own items. Many of these antiques have a lot of origin.

  The people of the Anti-Black Magic Alliance must ban black magic, but they still can’t help their greed, so Bockbokin, the black shop that once caused a lot of Hogwarts casualties, continues to exist under official acquiescence.

  Marcus Flint did not have the sword passed by the seller, but used it well. The Royal Mint is no longer responsible for making coins like it was in Newton’s time. They minted commemorative coins with not much gold reserves, but the officials reported an astronomical figure. Obviously, these night-calling members became substitutes. They are embezzling and accepting bribes.

  Young people still have dreams, while middle-aged people are exhausted by reality. In order to "live", Grandma Liu has no face, but Grandma Liu is an ordinary person, with the simplicity and kindness of a "farmer". On the contrary, those who study a lot have no conscience.

They weave an illusory American dream, defrauding low- and middle-income families into debts. It is conceivable that once the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out, many people will be displaced, their houses will be confiscated by banks, and many people will be homeless. .

  When the Black Death raged in Europe, the plague made people realize a lot of things. People no longer maintain religious piety, and many people began to carnival before the "doomsday". This is the bud of consumerism.

  Today, I will spend all the money for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Anyway, people who are shrouded in the black death cloud don’t know if they can live until tomorrow.

  This perception is wrong, but people like to enjoy the happiness that capital brings, and they completely forget Marx’s words: capital comes to the world, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and dirt.

  This kind of magical carnival must experience a major disaster to make people wake up, how blind and vanity one's life is.

  Waste is shameful. Whether it is food or money, the behavior of others starving and dumping milk is consistent with the law of market value, but it does not comply with the conscience and morality of life. This behavior is unique to Darwin.

  Yes, social Darwinism has a bad reputation. No one wants to admit that they live like a beast, but many people unconsciously act according to this rule.

This group of people is to provide themselves with the purpose of class mobility by harming others and self-interest. When they open the door to pick up a courier, they are stabbed to death and robbed, or because their children study better, they are sent to the hospital by a group of poor students to become vegetatives. Only then will they find out what they have committed.

  After all, they just think "I am the one and only lucky person, even if I turn the whole society into a jungle, I will get lucky."

  If the majority of people in a society become social Darwinists, it can only be said that the regime in the region is coming to an end.

Du Fu is a poet who has experienced the Tang Dynasty’s prosperity and decline. When society was relatively stable, there were also welfare institutions organized by monasteries and government agencies to take in refugees. During the Qinzhou earthquake, many refugees poured into Chang'an, and these institutions took care of them. Those who are homeless.

  Later, he wrote the verse of "The Zhumen's wine and meat are smelly, and the road has frozen bones", which means that the Tang Dynasty at this time can no longer afford the rescue work.

  There is only one way left for those people, and that is "elimination."

  The thinking in peacetime is useless in the war years. "Natural selection of things, survival of the fittest", but when we use the power of an organization to systematically eliminate the uncomfortable, we will face problems. What is uncomfortable?

  It's useless for soldiers in peace times. What use is for literati who can only chant poems and paint in war years?

  During the French Revolution, those nobles who discussed politics in the salon were smart, at least more knowledgeable than ordinary people. Why were they still being pushed to the guillotine?

   is also reading A Dream of Red Mansions. What do normal women taste when reading it?

  Pomona is really curious, because she really seems to be an abnormal woman.
