A Dream of Red Mansions: What is Jia Zheng's attitude towards Lin Daiyu who lives in Jia's family?
Jia Zheng was deeply saddened by Lin Daiyu's family background: when she was a child, her family was poor and she left her hometown. Although it is not clearly written in the book, everyone can see Jia Zheng's love for his little niece Lin Daiyu from many key places. First of all, from Lin Ruhai's high evaluation of Jia Zheng, we can speculate that Jia Zheng may be the best person in Jia Fu's relationship with Jia Min, Lin Ruhai. Even we can further infer that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min not only gave Daiyu to Jia Mu, but also gave Jia Zheng, a more reliable brother-in-law, and may even have promised Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage in advance. Let's look at the third time in A Dream of Red Mansions. My brother-in-law recommended Xi Bin to take care of her grandchild's grandmother and cherish her orphan daughter.
Daiyu went to Guo Rongfu to see Jia Zheng. Madam Wang said, "I am fasting today. Goodbye. There is only one sentence to tell you: your three sisters are all excellent, but after that, they can read and write, learn needlework, or joke occasionally, but they all give up. There is no doubt that Jia Zheng knows about Daiyu's coming home today. Look at him. He left a message for Daiyu very professionally. Simple as it was, he rushed at her in all directions. He not only introduced her new friends in detail, but also clearly assigned her daily life in Rongguo House. Brother Zheng, who has always ignored the dust, is very concerned about this nephew and daughter who left their hometown and lost their mother at an early age.
But why did Jia Zheng insist on fasting at this time? There must be a reason for this. According to ancient etiquette knowledge, fasting may be a kind of memory of oneself. Why don't you think so? In fact, Jia Zheng paid tribute to his sister Jia Min in the name of fasting and reported the safety of Daiyu. He will probably continue to tell Jia Min in front of the Buddha: Daiyu has arrived home safely, because my brother will take good care of the children for you. This is also due to direct complaints.
In addition, a word or two more, Jia Zheng is actually very interesting. If you just regard him as a rigid feudal social leader, in the eyes of those owners, you have misunderstood him. Jia Zheng is actually a very emotional person, especially when it comes to children. He is really the best father in the Jia family. Maybe he is too ambitious, so he is very strict with his children, but too strict with his daughter.
When you look at Yuan Chun's motherhood, he is the father of a heartbroken girl. On hearing Yuan Chun say that "the separation of flesh and blood is not elegant", his tears came up. While crying, he expressed them in the most official website language and gave the most sincere instructions. The Chinese translation came back and said: You have been taking care of yourself in the palace, and you have worked hard. You don't have to worry about it with my mother. Don't think about the old age of political couples. I am more eager to cherish myself, but I am diligent, cautious and respectful, and I am grateful to you. )
I am also very concerned about Tanchun's marriage.
I personally ordered it for the children of fellow villagers, friends and old friends, all of whom are acquaintances, ensuring the quality. Although they got married far from the border of other countries, there were also accidents to protect Tanchun from being dragged down by dismissal. Even Ying Chun, who was neglected, was the only one who announced several times that he would boycott Jia She and marry her to Hu Jia. Later, Xi Yingchun returned to the family, and he also actively paid attention to how his cousin and niece got married. Perhaps it is not clear that Jia Baoyu's character of cherishing fragrance and drinking jade poems is inherited from Jia Zheng's genes. Jia Zheng appreciates Lin Daiyu's talent: she has read a lot of poems and books, and she is full of lofty sentiments.
As I said above, assuming that Lin Daiyu is physically and mentally healthy, her gender is male and she is Jia Zheng's son, then Jia not only lost her teeth, but also her strict and serious attitude towards her children was suddenly distorted and she became a loving and happy father. Why do you dare to infer that? First of all, let's discuss who Jia Zheng is: he loved reading since he was a child, but he didn't like the world. He didn't have fame and fortune, nor did he become a good official. From the fact that he hit Baoyu, Grandmother Jia once gnashed her teeth and said, "Do you think that experience will teach children to prosper? How did your father learn from you that day? " In that case, it won't be too difficult for everyone to guess. Jia Zheng was probably similar to Baoyu when he was young. He is a romantic son who loves poetry and is arrogant.
When he became Rong Fu, he placed all his expectations of fame and fortune in the imperial examinations on his children, first Jia Zhu and then Baoyu. Instead of focusing on his career, he raised a group of diners to accompany him in reading, playing chess and writing poems and lyrics, which were always done by some literati. Therefore, Jia Zheng, who also likes reading, is very appreciative of Lin Daiyu, the little niece who gave the first strange daughter. She is not only full of poems and songs, but also well-read, and appreciates her pride and dust-free. This indifferent self-promise, detached from things, is likely to make Jia Zheng give birth to an idea of "nephew following uncle"
Jia Zheng is not Mrs. Wang, so it is not easy to consider such superficial things as the integration of resources by the three clans, and he is very dissatisfied with the true identity of Xue Baochai, the daughter of the imperial merchants, from beginning to end, and we will talk about it later. Although the creator did not write clearly about Jia Zheng's appreciation of Daiyu, Jia Zheng gave a very high evaluation of Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the 17th trial of A Dream of Red Mansions.
Jia Zheng is not Mrs. Wang, so it is not easy to consider such superficial things as the integration of resources by the three clans, and he is very dissatisfied with the true identity of Xue Baochai, the daughter of the imperial merchants, from beginning to end, and we will talk about it later. Although the creator did not write clearly about Jia Zheng's appreciation of Daiyu, Jia Zheng gave a very high evaluation of Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the 17th trial of A Dream of Red Mansions.
Jia Zheng said with a smile, "This place is nice. I can read by this window on a moonlit night, and I don't want to waste my life. " Although Daiyu had not moved into Xiaoxiang Pavilion at this time, it happened to be Zuo Zongtang's common writing style of Wan Li grass ash and snake. Jia Zheng praised Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the aspect ratio, but in fact, Lin Daiyu, the concubine of Xiaoxiang, praised it in the aspect ratio. Later, the couplets between Daiyu and Xiangyun in the concave crystal pavilion also wrote Jia Zheng's praise and love for Daiyu's talent. Xiangyun praised the concave crystal pavilion and the convex blue hall for their good names. Daiyu told her this:
what do you think? I made up these two words. Because I was the annual auditor of Baoyu, because he drafted several, and now there are still some, some have been deleted, and some have not been drafted. It was later that all of us drew up this nameless one, marked the source, wrote down the location of the house, and took our sister with us. He took it out again and gave it to his little brother. Unexpectedly, my little brother fell in love with it and said,' If I had known this and that, I would have let his sisters draw it that day. "Isn't that interesting?" Therefore, everything I drafted was used word for word. Now let's look at the concave crystal pavilion. "Although from Cheng Gaoben's point of view, Jia Zheng is a big advocate of" wooden and stone marriage ",or rather, he is a reformist of" God-given marriage ". But unfortunately, he is not alone. Outside, he accomplished nothing at work and was severely suppressed by his eldest brother Wang Ziteng. Inside, he doesn't care about state affairs, and the real power at home is in the hands of Mrs. Wang. The "God-given marriage" advocated and planned by Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue has been applied in Jia Yuanchun's palace. Most let Jia Zheng helpless, Jia Jia also defected.
In addition, Lin Daiyu's health is getting worse. Baoyu is infatuated with the loss of jade. His daughter Yuan Chun died suddenly, and he was sent to Jiangxi by the emperor. Seeing this, he needs to consider. Lao Jia Zheng is also exhausted. He didn't want to lose the trust of his sister Jia Min, but he was helpless, so he went to see Jia Zheng's reflection in Baoyu's proposal:
Grandmother Jia sobbed: "I am eighty-one years old, and you have to work outside ... You have come, and I only care about Baoyu. I don't know what to do about this disease! ..... The fortune teller said,' If you want to marry a gold man and raise him, you must be happy, otherwise it won't work.' Because you don't believe these words, I teach you to negotiate. Your wife is here. Let's discuss: Do you want Baoyu? Or let him go? "
Jia Zheng smiled apologetically and said ... since the old woman wants to get married for them, it is also justified. Is there any reason not to hurt her? ""The old lady is old and hurts her grandson. How dare a child disobey? The old woman can do whatever she wants. " Jia Zheng knew he had to give in, but he had to fight the last battle to buy some time. Because he was really dissatisfied with the Xue family, maybe Daiyu's health would get better. Even if it wasn't Daiyu, he wouldn't let Baoyu marry Daiyu: Jia Zheng added, "This is the first difficulty. His own brother (Xue Pan) is in prison. How can a sister get married? What's more, although I have to get married for the princess, Baoyu should have nine months' service according to his married sister, so it is difficult to get a wife at this time. Secondly, my standing date has been agreed, and I'm afraid of delay. What should I do in the next few days? "However, all language expressions are powerless. Grandmother Jia had rushed to the hospital to cure Baoyu's illness, and Mrs. Wang was worried too much, so Baoyu quickly married Daiyu. It's no use talking too much. Jia Zheng has long been too weak to change anything. He set sail for work the next morning, but he didn't want to see Baoyu and Daiyu before he set off. Jia Zheng didn't care about Daiyu after that, probably because he took the initiative to feel guilty about his sister and niece and was afraid to ask. It is also possible that he thinks that after all, Jia Jia is at home and often takes care of Daiyu.
Until he was dismissed from Jiangxi and returned to Rongguo House, many people came to pay their respects as soon as he entered the door. Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Baoyu Daiyu and Jia Lan all came to pay their respects. Jia Zheng came home and looked around. Everyone was fine, but he found that Lin Daiyu was the only one missing. He asked Mrs. Wang, "Why is one missing today?" Mrs. Wang knew that she was thinking about Daiyu, but she didn't go home today because there were no books and newspapers at home. It happens to be her favorite, so tell her that she is ill.
Mrs. Wang naturally lied to Jia Zheng for fear of upsetting Baoyu, but how can such a thing be hidden? Jia Zheng also talked about Pan Er, and Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to tell Daiyu that he was dead. Jia Zheng was startled, and he shed tears and lamented. Jia Zheng burst into tears this time, lamenting one after another, feeling guilty about Jia Min, and mourning and regretting the young girl Daiyu's untimely death, which is also a rare obsession of Jia Zheng in this book.
