The relationship between Rongfu and Ningfu
The Ningguo Mansion written in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is one of the Jia Mansion, the other is Rongguo Mansion, and Ningguo Mansion is higher than Rongguo Mansion.
The Jia family described in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a nobleman with a high status in society. Jia's Mansion is divided into two branches, one is Ningguo Mansion and the other is Rongguo Mansion. Ning Guo Mansion is higher than Rong Guo Mansion because Ning Guo Gong and Rong Guo Gong were brothers at first. Ning Gong is the eldest, Rong Gong is the second, so Ning Guofu is very important.
Of course, at the beginning of the story of "Dream of Red Mansions", the author designed it like this: There is still an elder living in Rongguo Mansion, that is Jia Mu, so Ningrong and other mansions call her ancestor, the highest seniority.
Ning Guofu and Jia Mu’s peers are all dead. The highest-ranking person in Ningguo Mansion is Jia Jing, because Jia Jing has no children since he became a Taoist priest. He only has one son named Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen also gave birth to only one son named Jia Rong. Therefore, such a feudal aristocratic family, such an important mansion, is equivalent to a single generation of three generations. Rongguofu has a relatively prosperous population. The population of Ningguo Mansion is relatively sparse.
