"Those Things in the Red Mansion: Fireworks and Machiavellianism from the Grand View Garden to the Rongguo Mansion" is not a straight-faced Red Mansion textbook.
Here you are familiar with Bao Daichai, but there is more than just romance - watch Daiyu entering the palace for an "interview with a wealthy family", and pay attention to how much survival wisdom is hidden in every step; Baochai's "workplace scheming" when embroidering mandarin ducks is more enduring than the palace drama; behind Baoyu's rebellion of throwing jade, is a silent challenge to feudal rules.
There are also "hidden rules of wealthy families" that you ignore: Wang Xifeng is the co-manager of Ningguo Mansion, and his skills are tougher than the CEO, but he can't avoid "corruption and burying thunder"; Grandma Liu enters Rongguo Mansion three times, from fighting the autumn breeze to saving Qiao Jie, the bottom-level wisdom turns out to be the last life-saving straw for the wealthy family; even the counterattack of the maid Xiaohong and the dirty tricks of Aunt Zhao are all living workplace survival lessons.
120 Chapters are dismantled chapter by chapter. Each chapter has a "plot overview" to focus on the key points, "details research" to find foreshadowing (for example, Leng Zixing's "Hundred-legged Insect" already hinted at the ending of the Jia family), and "foreshadowing connections" to connect the fate of the characters (the extravagance of Qin Keqing's funeral was originally a preview of his downfall). The "Red Mansion Little Knowledge Card" attached at the end of the article will also quietly tell you the status of concubines in ancient times and the routines of the imperial examination, allowing you to understand the excitement and understand the doorsteps.
Opening this book, you can see all kinds of life in the flowers blooming and falling in the Grand View Garden, and the parents of Rongguo Mansion can see the harshness of the world in a short time. It turns out that "A Dream of Red Mansions" is not only a love story, but also a "Survival Guide to Ancient Society" that thoroughly writes about human nature, the workplace and the rise and fall of the family.
