Sister Feng Makes an Entry (NT$5): When Daiyu first enters Jia´s mansion, Wang Xifeng, dolled up in her best getup, clasps Daiyu´s hand, praises her comeliness, and says that she is a spitting image of Grandmother Jia´s granddaughter with her elegance and presence. The comment flatters both Daiyu and Grandmother Jia. Xifeng weeps when the conversation detours to Daiyu´s bereavement; but her sadness gives way to joy as soon as Grandmother Jia advises her against further provocation. Such shrewd adaptability attests to Xifeng´s status in Jia´s family and her character. 2.
