  • Ping'er (Chinese: 平兒; pinyin: Píng'ér; literally "Peace", and known as “Patience” in the Hawkes translation) is an important character in the 18th century Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber. She is Wang Xifeng's chief maid and personal assistant/confidante, who follows her from the Wang family. Being the chief consultant of the household manager, Ping'er wields considerable power in the Jia household. Always kind and caring, she turns big dilemmas into little, solvable problems. She does so with grace and impartiality and is respected by most other servants. She is the cause of many fights between her mistress and master, partly because she is Jia Lian's unofficial concubine (seen as a dowry from the Wang family). Nevertheless, she is well loved by them, too, especially by Xifeng, who understands her value as a personal confidante. The novel portrays Ping'er as a pretty and sweet-natured girl, though clearly intelligent enough to know how to conduct herself through the politics of the family. In the Cheng-Gao ending, when Xifeng's daughter Jia Qiaojie is left motherless after Xifeng's death, Ping'er arranges the plan for Granny Liu to hide Qiaojie in her village, and accompanied Qiaojie to Granny Liu's home. She eventually becomes Jia Lian's wife. * v * t * e (en)
  • 平儿是中國古典小說《红楼梦》中的人物,王熙凤的心腹大丫鬟,賈璉的通房丫鬟,也就是未正式迎娶的妾。 平兒自小無父無母,是王熙鳳的陪嫁丫鬟,姿色嬌美,善體人意,又善於處世應變,隨王熙鳳嫁到賈家。當初陪嫁的共有四人,後來死的死,散的散,只剩平兒。相較於王熙鳳的陰險狠毒、凶悍潑辣,平兒是一個仁慈善良、溫柔賢慧的女人,兼具睿智與忠誠,因此能安處於王熙鳳和賈璉之間,雖亦受過不少委屈。在賈璉和多姑娘私通時,平兒從枕套中抖出一綹青絲,但她向鳳姐隱瞞了真相,避免了一場風波。 平兒因告知王熙鳳賈璉偷娶尤二姐之事而間接傷害了尤二姐,為此於心不忍,私下暗自幫助尤二姐,甚至滴淚說道:「想來都是我坑了妳!我原是一片痴心,從沒瞞她的話……既聽見你在外頭,豈有不告訴她的……誰知生出這些個事來」,但是尤二姐并没有怨恨平儿,说自己一心想要进来,即使没有平兒去说,自己还是会靠其他理由进贾府。在尤二姐被王熙鳳害死後,王熙鳳不願出錢置辦喪禮,平兒私下拿出存了多年的財物幫助賈璉。 (zh)
