What are the character traits of Sister-in-law Gu in Water Margin?

1. Outgoing personality, ***

Specific examples and personality combination:

A big insect is a tiger, a female big insect is a tigress, and a tiger is fierce , is meant to eat people. Is Sister-in-law Gu cruel? Is she like Sun Erniang, who runs a black shop and eats people? Looking at "Water Margin", we can get a correct answer.

In the 49th chapter of "Water Margin", "Jie Zhen and Jie Bao Double Escape", Xie Zhen introduces Mrs. Gu by entertaining her and bringing a message:

"I have a roommate sister who lives ten miles away from the east gate. Her name is Mrs. Gu. She runs a hotel, and her family kills cattle for gambling. My sister has thirty or twenty people who cannot get close to her. My brother-in-law, Sun Xin, is not as capable as him... Only my sister and my brother are the best... tell me what happened, and my sister will definitely come to save me."

These words. At least tell us: Sister-in-law Gu runs a hotel, but it is not a black shop, but a diversified business, selling wine, beef, and opening a gambling room. Just seek wealth, not life. Sister-in-law Gu is very capable and can fight with thirty or twenty people. She has a close relationship with Jie Zhen and Jie Bao. Finally, Sister-in-law Gu is a warm-hearted person. "He will definitely come to save me" not only adds that she is the best brother with Jie Zhen, but also reveals that she is a forthright and impatient person.

In Lehe’s eyes, what kind of person is Sister-in-law Gu? The book writes:

"He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a fat face and a fat waist. He wears a strange hairpin ring on his head and exposes fashionable bracelets on his arms. There are six red skirts, like pomegranate flowers in May. There are many green collars. The layer is dyed with spring willows. Sometimes when I get angry, I lift the well fence and beat my husband. Suddenly I feel anxious and knock over the villager's legs with a stone hammer. He is a big worm in the mountains."

What was written above is her dress, which is similar and different from Sun Erniang. She is more beautiful and fashionable than Sun Erniang, but she does not have the fierce look of Sun Erniang. The last few sentences are fictitious writing by the author. Her husband Sun Xin has not yet appeared on the scene. How could Lehe beat her husband when he "saw" her lifting the manhole fence? As soon as Lehe entered the store, he talked to Mrs. Gu. How come he saw her knocking over the shopkeeper's legs with a stone pestle? Not to mention seeing it, even hearing about it is impossible, because Lehe didn't know Mrs. Gu in the past, and this was the first time they met, and they didn't have time to hear this. However, the author of "Water Margin" insisted on "seeing it with his eyes" through Le He. The author placed these two sentences here, which can show that Sister Gu is a bitch. These two sentences can show that she is a bit rude and impatient.

Impatientness is one of Sister-in-law Gu’s character traits. After listening to Lehe's message, she "screamed out in pain", which meant she was anxious, and then asked the waiter to "quickly find her second brother's house to talk to." The word "quickly" shows that she was in a hurry. The vigor and vigor expressed her impatience. When Sun Xin analyzed that Taigong Mao was rich and powerful and was afraid of revenge after Jie Zhen Jie Bao was released from prison, he would definitely kill the two brothers. The only way was to rob the prison. Sister-in-law Gu immediately said, "You and I will go tonight!" This was impetuous, reckless, and a bit reckless, and it also proved her relationship with the Xie brothers.

Sister-in-law Gu’s impatience is also reflected in asking Sun Xin to go to invite Zou’s uncle and nephew overnight. Zou's uncle and nephew said that after rescuing people, there was no place for him here, so he had to go to Liang Shanshuibo to join the gang and ask his sister-in-law Gu for her opinion. Sister-in-law Gu replied without thinking: "Best! If anyone doesn't go, I'll stab him to death!" "Best" shows his boldness and crispness; the latter sentence is pungent, a bit like the black whirlwind Li Kui, and it sounds familiar. . After Li Kui robbed the execution ground in Jiangzhou and captured Huang Wenbing alive, when Song Jiang asked everyone to ask all the heroes to go to Liangshan together, Song Jiang asked everyone what they thought. Didn't Li Kui also say: "Everyone goes! Everyone goes! But there are some who won't go. Eat my bird and cut it into two pieces with my axe!" Comparing them with each other, the heroes have similar views. They are also the hasty words of an impatient person, and we can see the firmness of his attitude.

2. Being wise while being anxious

Being wise while being anxious is another characteristic of Sister-in-law Gu’s character. I want to go to the prison to rob the prison. Relying on Sister-in-law Gu and his wife and Zou's uncle and nephew to lead some dealers is very weak. If it doesn't work well, the prison will not be robbed, but will become a prisoner.

Sun Xin decided to ask his brother Sun Li, who was a soldier in Dengzhou, to help. He couldn't ask for help, so he had to ask wisely. Before leaving, Sister-in-law Gu repeatedly told the waiter: "I just want to say that I am seriously ill and have a few important words to say. I will come as soon as possible and we will only meet a few times." Sister-in-law Gu was originally a rough and impatient person, but she could not have imagined that "it is so wonderful that a big insect can express such love words... I burst into tears when I read these words" (Jin Sheng's sigh). She also knew that Sun Li was in charge of the army and received salary from the court. She was absolutely unwilling to ask him to do this prison robbery. Sister-in-law Gu had already expected this. With the words "Just do it this way," you know that she has a good plan in an instant. Sun Li and his wife went into the room to see the patient, but the "patient" Mrs. Gu came in from outside with Zou's uncle and nephew, and she seemed to be trying to force her to have a baby. Next, there was no politeness, but a head-on attack:

"I am suffering from some diseases to save my brother!"

"What brother to save?"

"Uncle! Don't pretend to be deaf! Don't you know that they are my brothers in the city?"

This is urgent again, and there is a hint of blame in it. Reasonable meaning. Then she explained the reason, "It's urgent today, so I have to express my gratitude." It was "urgent" that led to the conflict, and "Blessings" also meant an apology. Then she laid out the reasons for the prison robbery, her plans after the prison robbery, the gains and losses, and the strength of Sun Li's failure to go to Liangshan. She said it clearly, and her analysis was well-founded, which reflected her wisdom. When Sun Li expressed his disobedience, Sister-in-law Gu and others went to war with each other. After all, Sun Li was a good man and Sun Xin's biological brother. If Sister Gu's brother was in trouble, it would not be justified in terms of "righteousness" if he didn't save him, so he had to obey his fate.

She entered the prison alone. When Sun Li came to the prison door and knocked on the door, she pulled out a sharp knife and shouted: "Where is my brother?" The Xie brothers came out from prison to kill the generals, met with Sun Li and Sun Xin, and went to Mao Taigong's house to avenge themselves, and led their troops to Liangshan.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sister-in-law Gu is a hero among women. She has the qualities of a hero: she dares to fight against injustice. The Jie brothers were obviously plotted. After hearing the message, she did not hesitate and decided to rob the prison. When Sun Li said, "Let me think about it long term and discuss it slowly," she said categorically, "Since my uncle refuses to go, even if I send my sister off first, we will go and take action ourselves." She has a firm attitude and will never look back. In order to save her brothers, she gave up her hometown and her hotel, and resolutely went up Liangshan to Luocao. What is she planning? She wants nothing. What she talks about is "loyalty".

When Jin Shengtan commented on Sister-in-law Gu's actions, she repeatedly wrote that she was "like fire", "courage is better than a husband", "can be called a mother whirlwind, which means the same thing as Li Kui", "lively" It's a black whirlwind" and so on. It highlights the main characteristics of Mrs. Gu's character: impatient, bold, enthusiastic, aggressive and manly. From Jin Shengtan's evaluation and the facts listed above, we do not see that Sister-in-law Gu has the sinister appearance of a mother-in-law. Instead, we see the image of a heroine.
