吴月娘 / Wu Yueniang

吴月娘 is [[XimenQing|西门庆]]’s main wife in 番外 15：半拿铁讲《金瓶梅》啦，而且还是绿色的. The episode presents her as the household’s 大房 and practical manager: she understands Ximen Qing’s friend circle, warns that the would-be sworn brothers mostly exploit him, and evaluates their gift money without romanticizing brotherhood.

Her function in this source is structural. Wu Yueniang makes Household As Social Web visible because the household is not only Ximen Qing’s property or desire field; it is also a managed institution with hierarchy, money, servants, illness, rituals, and reputational risk. Her clearer judgment gives the opening a domestic counterpoint to Ximen Qing’s public face-making.
