"Wives and Concubines" tells a story about a female college student, Song Lian, who turned from a pretty girl to a lunatic.
Song Lian, a 19-year-old female college student, was married by her stepmother to the wealthy Chen Zuoqian after her father's death and became his fourth concubine. The eldest wife Yu Ru ignored her, the second wife Zhuo Yun was a smiling tiger, and the third wife Mei Shan was a woman who dared to speak and act. In the deep house compound, several women are fighting to and fro, but for an old man who has reached the age of knowing his destiny. Fortunately, there is the eldest young master Feipu, who is like the warm sun shining into this dark house. Unfortunately, due to physical and psychological obstacles, Feipu couldn't accept Songlian's love. Jia Songlian witnessed the whole process of Mei Shan, who was caught cheating, being thrown into the dry well. Under this series of blows, poor Songlian went crazy.
Going back to the question mentioned in the title, can Songlian change her fate of becoming a lunatic?
The answer is no.
From the moment Song Lian was forced to choose to marry Chen Zuoqian as her concubine, her fate was doomed.
Songlian is the aunt, so she is destined to not be able to spend the rest of her life like the eldest wife, Yuru, who sees through everything and chooses to eat fast food and recite Buddha.
So if Songlian wants to survive, she can only become the second aunt Zhuoyun, or the third aunt Mei Shan.
What kind of person is Zhuo Yun?
A knife is hidden in a smile, and a needle is hidden in the cotton. On the surface, he is smiling with you, but in fact, he has long thought about how to deal with you after finding out what your family is. But her vitality is extremely strong, and she can tirelessly devote herself to the struggle, to win the favor, and to win the red lantern that night. When she came to Mei Shan, she and Mei Shan fought non-stop, from robbing a man to rushing to give birth to a child; when she came to Song Lian, she pretended to be in love with Wei Shedi and Song Lian, but in fact urged Song Lian to challenge Mei Shan. It is conceivable that as long as someone comes, Zhuo Yun can maintain his fighting power as always. It can be said that life is endless, and the house fights are endless.
What kind of person is Mei Shan?
The former famous character has a flamboyant personality. He dared to call Master Chen away on the wedding night when Song Lian first entered the mansion. Before Song Lian arrived, Mei Shan should have been the most favored concubine. Not only is she cute and sassy, but she can also sing a good song. But with the passage of time, the color has aged, Chen Zuoqian has a new beautiful girl, and Mei Shan is also out of breath.
However, Mei Shan is different from Zhuo Yun.
Zhuo Yun devoted all her energy to pleasing Master Chen and fighting with other concubines, these things occupied all her life. Mei Shan didn't want to be like Zhuo Yun. She was a woman from the rivers and lakes. She wrote on her face whether she liked it or not.
However, the long nights are long, and the days are bitter.
In addition to an ignorant child, what else can be comforted?
Mei Shan chose Dr. Gao to fill the void in her body and mind.
As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get wet shoes.
Meishan was exposed, Meishan died, and Meishan became a mummified corpse in a dry well.
Become Zhuo Yun, Song Lian disdain.
Becoming Mei Shan doesn't seem to have a good ending.
Then Songlian can't concentrate on being herself?
The answer is still no.
From the moment she became Chen Zuoqian's fourth concubine, she began to be assimilated.
Especially when she understood that she had to live in this house for the rest of her life, she was quickly assimilated.
She began to look forward to the red lanterns hanging high every night, the uncomfortable foot-pounding service, and the enviable privilege of ordering food at the small table. And all this was built on Chen Zuoqian's dry body. As long as he pets her, as long as he stays with him at night, she can get those so-called privileges.
So what does Chen Zuoqian like about Songlian?
Probably because Songlian is a female college student. He wondered what was the difference between a female student and the woman next to him? What is the difference between this woman named Song Lian wearing a blue shirt and a black dress and Yu Ru Zhuo Yun Mei Shan.
Does that mean that Songlian has always maintained the appearance of a female college student, so she can gain lasting favor?
Theoretically so. But this is an obvious paradox.
What are female college students like?
They have knowledge and culture, advocate freedom and equality, and advocate free love.
They exude the self-restraint that knowledge gives them, and the vigor that youth gives them.
They are like clouds in the sky, holy and beautiful.
Beautiful people want to destroy.
And all these characteristics are contrary to the deep house compound and the concubine.
All these characteristics were also swallowed up in the sound of banging firecrackers.
From this moment on, she is just a woman who is attached to Chen Zuoqian's pet life, and she needs to rely on him to live a better life. There is no essential difference between her and Yuru Zhuoyun and Meishan.
So when stepping into this coffin-like compound, Song Lian, who was wearing a student uniform, died.
All that survives is a woman doomed to corruption.
Either she lives to be the next Zhuo Yun.
Or die and become the next Mei Shan.
Otherwise, she will become Song Lian, a crazy stupid woman.
Why! I don't know which one is worse, madness or death.
