Who is Yule in the Red Chamber? What's their story and what's the result?

You can take a look at this. This is Mr Zhou Siyuan's opinion:

Yule's story, which lasted seven times, seems to be inserted into A Dream of Red Mansions. What happened?

You Sanjie, especially the second sister, admitted that she had bad conduct in the past and had "lewd" behavior. How serious is it?

This kind of "psychosexuality" is unreasonable at least in You Sanjie's view, which becomes a paradox: if You Sanjie really loved Liu Xianglian for five years, then she wouldn't have anything important with Jia Zhen and his son. If her relationship with their father and son is so serious, then she can't love Liu Xianglian so much unless he doesn't get married. The two must be one of them.

Speaking of "two beauties in the red chamber", readers are deeply impressed. The word "Yule" existed in the Qing Dynasty, but it was not common. Usually the second sister and You Sanjie are mentioned separately. This statement that "the red chamber is the best in the world" may occur after the Republic of China. Perhaps because of the influence of the Peking Opera "Two Yous in a Red Chamber", "Two Yous in a Red Chamber" has become a fixed formulation and is more and more familiar to readers. This phenomenon reflects a major structural feature of A Dream of Red Mansions: it is not only a complete whole, but also some local stories are relatively independent. For example, the story of Qin Keqing from August to 14th, granny Liu's second visit to Guo Rongfu from 39 to 42, the story of Li Wan, Tan Chun and Baochai managing the Grand View Garden from 55 to 56, and the story of copying the Grand View Garden from 73 to 77. However, neither the story of Qin Keqing, the story of Granny Liu's second visit to the Grand View Garden, nor the story of the troika's reform and inspection of the Grand View Garden can be extracted from A Dream of Red Mansions, otherwise many other plots below will be broken. Only the story of A Dream of Red Mansions is different. It is particularly independent and a complete plate, so independent and complete that it can be written separately from A Dream of Red Mansions. For example, Jia Baoyu in "The First Hero" only appears once in a while, and is tied with female No.1 Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai almost idly, only occasionally. That is to say, if this passage is completely separated from the novel, it will basically not affect the later story process-of course, it will reduce the overall ideological and artistic value of A Dream of Red Mansions, especially weaken the weight of the line of family decline, officialdom darkness and social decline, and it is not conducive to the richness of Wang Xifeng's image-building. But on the whole, from the structural point of view, Yule's story is separable, which is not available in any other plate. Although this passage is now well combined with other stories in A Dream of Red Mansions, it seems that it is not very free, but this phenomenon still deserves our special attention. This story, which has occupied seven times, seems to be completely inserted into A Dream of Red Mansions. What's going on here?

Furthermore, in the process of reading A Dream of Red Mansions, we will feel that the story of Yule in A Dream of Red Mansions seems a bit sudden, lacking the foreshadowing, and some plots are a bit taken out of context: two such important figures were only written during Qin Keqing's thirteen funerals, and by the way, "Your family and sisters are also here." How many sisters are there? What do you call it? Without any explanation, after dozens of times, there is no trace. Obviously, after the funeral, I went back and didn't come again. So the scene is less than that of some third-class maids in Jia's family. It was not until sixty-three times, that is, three-quarters of the first eighty times, that they officially appeared, but the two sisters appeared seven times in a row until sixty-nine times. It accounts for almost more than one-twelfth of the first eighty episodes, and it has become the highlight of the last quarter of the first eighty episodes, which is twice as much as the Grand View Garden in the Jiafu earthquake. The narration of Yule's story mentions some very important things about the past, but it has never appeared before.

Most obviously, sixty-five times, Second Sister You discussed with Jia Lian that she wanted to marry You Sanjie. Jia Lian and second sister, you can't figure out who your third sister is going to marry. You Sanjie told her sister that there was someone in her heart that made her want to leave five years ago. What happened in You Sanjie five years ago? I didn't explain it at all, but added a 66-time reply from Second Sister You to Jia Lian: "It's a long story. Five years ago, our mother's house (Weekly Press: This is the mother of the You sisters, that is, grandma; It's not grandma Jia Rong's birthday. Mom (this is your mother in the novel) and we (sisters) go there for our birthday. " His family invited some fans to perform. "A young man named Liu Xianglian took a fancy to him (You Sanjie) and is getting married now." You Erjie also relayed: "He (You Sanjie) is hard to see. (Third Sister) herself said that this person would not come for a year, and he would wait for a year; Don't come for ten years, wait for ten years; If this man dies and doesn't come back, he would rather shave his head and be an aunt, eat long lent and read Buddha, and forget it when he dies. " As they were talking, "I saw your third sister come over and say,' Brother-in-law, don't worry, we are not the kind of people who have different opinions. If a man named Liu comes, I will marry him. From now on, I will fast and recite Buddha's words, and only serve my mother. When she comes, I will marry her. If I don't come for a hundred years, I'll practice by myself. As he spoke, he folded the Hosta in two. "。 If a sentence is not true, it is like this hairpin! ""from now on "the whole is indecent assault, indecent assault. "You Sanjie's love for Liu Xianglian is so deep, it's really to the point where the seas run dry and the rocks crumble. But this is just You Sanjie's unrequited love, and it is love at first sight. Liu Xianglian didn't know there was such an excellent girl. She loved him for five years and will love him all her life!

But when we read here, we may feel that this narrative seems to be somewhat contradictory:

You Sanjie, in particular, used to have some nasty relations with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong. These are not specifically described in the novel, but only vague, saying that the two sisters had bad conduct in the past and both had "lewd" behavior. In You Sanjie's view, this relationship is meaningless, and the two become paradoxes. Because if You Sanjie really loves Liu Xianglian so much, then she won't have anything important with Jia Zhen and his son. If her relationship with their father and son is so serious, then she can't love Liu Xianglian so much unless he doesn't get married. The two must be one of them, so this is a paradox. Besides, since You Sanjie has such great determination, loves Liu Xianglian so deeply, and has been in love for five years, there should be some stories at that time and later, and the novel should have some explanations or foreshadowing.

What the hell is going on here?

These phenomena are directly related to some important changes in the writing process of A Dream of Red Mansions.

There are different opinions about how A Dream of Red Mansions was created, and some of them are quite different. I prefer Cao Xueqin's novel The Mirror of the Wind and Moon, which was prefaced by his younger brother Tang Cun. However, this book has not only not been published, but also has not been copied and circulated. JOE's book Treasure of Yue Feng was criticized in Meixi and Donglukong for the first time: "Qin Xue's old book Treasure of Yue Feng is the preface of his brother Tang Village. This village has passed and I still miss it. " Judging from the role of the mirror named "Yue Feng Bao Jian" in the book title "Yue Feng Bao Jian" and Jia Rui's story, it can be inferred that Yue Feng Bao Jian wrote more love stories and severely criticized and punished men who played with women. From some existing parts, such as the story of Jia Rui and Jia Lian's fornication, we can still see some characteristics of it. Yue Feng Bao Jian should also be an excellent work, which can be proved by Cao Xueqin's first criticism of "unofficial history, Yue Feng's pen and ink, beauty and talent" through the mouth of a stone in A Dream of Red Mansions. However, Cao Xueqin was obviously dissatisfied with this work, so he re-conceived and completely adapted it and wrote The Story of the Stone. And some characters and plots in "The Mirror of the Romantic Moon" moved away. Some are more, some are less. The above-mentioned peelability of Yule's story, their previous behavior, You Sanjie's unrequited love for Liu Xianglian, and some seemingly contradictory phenomena all show that Cao Xueqin made important modifications to Yule's story in the process of writing "The Story of the Stone", not only deleting some plots, but also making major adjustments to the basic evaluation of the characters and inserting them into the present position. In Cao Xueqin's revision, the biggest change in the story of Yule in A Dream of Red Mansions is that it greatly weakens the original image of Yule as an adulteress and further highlights the tragic significance of the two sisters. Yule's stories should be much more in Yue Feng's Treasures than they are now, and their own moral responsibilities are heavier than they are now. Unlike now, she is basically a damaged woman. This change is very similar to the story and image of Qin Keqing. The difference is that Cao Xueqin made the modification to Yule himself, not because of other people's requirements.

However, it is very obvious that some important imprints in A Dream of Red Mansions remain, the most important of which is the problem that two sisters once committed adultery.

Readers will notice that Sister You and You Sanjie both admit that they have bad conduct and committed "lewdness".

Look at you first, second sister. Sixty-five times Jia Lian said, "Everyone says that our hag (Wang Xifeng) is clean and tidy, and now I (as a maid) don't want to pick up your shoes." At this moment, Second Sister You said, "Although I am beautiful, I have no conduct. It seems that it is not beautiful after all. " Jia Lian said she didn't understand. Second sister, you said, "You treat me like a fool. I don't know anything. " Then he said, "Now that I am married to you, I will depend on you all my life. How dare I hide a word? " Then I said what to do with my sister. Jia Lian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not jealous. "。 I know everything about the past, so you don't have to panic. "Thus, especially the second sister had an abnormal relationship with Jia Zhen. You Erjie is deeply uneasy and guilty about her bad behavior, and she doesn't hide it. Jia Lian knows it, but he says it's over and he doesn't mind. It seems that the problem not only exists, but also is quite serious.

Look at your third sister. You Sanjie committed suicide 66 times because she heard the conversation between Liu Xianglian and Jia Lian in the room. The novel You Sanjie "knew that he (Liu Xianglian) got the news in Jiafu, and naturally he was shameless as a wife". Sixty-nine times before Second Sister You committed suicide, Third Sister gave her a dream and said, "You and I were immoral and incompetent before our death, which made people lose their morality, so we have this report." The "wild running" here is different from the "wild running" of elopement. Elopement means not letting your parents know that you ran off with your lover in private. The "lewd running" here does not mean running away, but refers to "lewd behavior". It seems that You Sanjie also admitted that he had "lewd" behavior. Second Sister You said that she "lost her whole life" and deserved it. Therefore, judging from the text, Yule does have a serious defect of "lewdness" in his character, that is, in the relationship between men and women.

The question is how serious this "psychosexuality" is, that is, Second Sister You and You Sanjie have degenerated to the level of relationship between men and women. Because the "slutty" nature of the two sisters directly affects their moral evaluation. This is a problem to be solved first.

In the eyes of ordinary people, "promiscuity" means promiscuity, that is, promiscuity between men and women. In fact, in ancient times, the standard of "obscenity" was much stricter than now. Feudal society paid attention to "men and women don't kiss", that is, except between men and women of immediate family members, even if they were giving gifts (giving) and receiving gifts (accepting), there could be no physical contact. Shaking hands is a courtesy from the west, which is absolutely impossible between men and women in ancient times. At that time, a little flirtatious words and deeds between men and women would be considered as "flirting" and "lewdness", which is not exactly the case in A Dream of Red Mansions. The meaning of "Yin" in A Dream of Red Mansions is complicated. The fifth time, the police fairy said to Jia Baoyu, "lewd is lewd, and even more lewd when you know it." He added: "Although the meanness is the same, the meaning is different." Although it refers to the relationship between men and women, the realm is quite different. The reason why the police fairy called Jia Baoyu "the first prostitute in the world" is because Jia Baoyu "knows". Therefore, the police fairy is ironic, in fact, it is a person who affirms Jia Baoyu's love and friendship. Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and so on. It belongs to the lowest class of "skin abuse" mentioned by Jing Xian. So what's the moral evaluation of Second Sister You and You Sanjie? How should we treat the father-son relationship between Sister You and Jia Zhen before they married Jia Lian?

Chapter 65 has a description that can help us to further determine their responsibilities.

At that time, You Sanjie stood on the kang, sneering and laughing. "I drank half a cup first, grabbed Jia Lian's neck and drank it ... and scared Jia Lian awake again.". You Sanjie "talks about himself, and sometimes he is extravagant, and sometimes he laughs at his brother for fun, but it's really that he whored a man, not that a man raped him". From the words "whoring" and "lewdness" in this passage, we can see that the meaning of "lewdness" in A Dream of Red Mansions is not only the positive "knowing" lewdness of Jia Baoyu, but also the derogatory naked lewdness of Jia Zhen and Jia Lian, which can also be considered as "lewdness". The words between men and women are seriously out of line and their manners are very frivolous. That's why Cao Xueqin took You Sanjie and Jia Zhen and Jia Lian away. Teasing between men and women is also considered as "whoring" and "lewdness". Sixty-three times, the second sister especially took an iron to talk to the frivolous Jia Rong. Jia Rong listened, holding his head in fear, and rolled into the arms of Second Sister You. "。 You Sanjie tore her mouth when she came up. "Such words and deeds certainly belonged to" lewdness "in the eyes of people at that time. It's like a brothel in the old society. Some people go there to buy prostitutes and stay there, some people go to eat Huasan and flirt at parties, but as long as they go to brothels, they are customers.

So what is the nature of the relationship between Yule and Jia Zhen and Jia Rong? Sixty-four times I wrote that Jia Lian knew that the second and third sisters were "entangled with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong", which meant that the father and son shared a woman's animal behavior. If so, the problem is serious.

Comparatively speaking, in A Dream of Red Mansions, Sister You's character is worse than Sister San's. Because at the end of sixty-four, Jia Rong told You Laoniang that Jia Zhen came forward to be a matchmaker and gave Jia Lian his second sister as a second wife. When the sick Feng died, she could still stand upright. Here are a few key words, such as "Second Sister is a water-based person, and my brother-in-law was wrong beforehand", so I nodded and agreed. Back to sixty-four, Jia Lian has "coveted" second sister, You Sanjie, "take every opportunity to flirt, flirt. The third sister is only vaguely relative, but "the second sister is also very interested." Therefore, from the "inappropriate" point of view, and Jia Zhen have not yet reached the point of real fornication. However, at that time, according to the general moral standards, it was "lewd" to roll into the arms of Second Sister You like Jia Rong. However, Second Sister You did not severely reprimand Jia Rong, instead, she spat the Amomum residue in her mouth in Jia Rong's face when she robbed him. This kind of behavior is unseemly even today. At that time, it was naturally considered as "slipping" and belonging to "inaction" and "lewd running".

But the crux of the problem is not whether you Erjie and Jia Zhen have had sexual relations, but how much moral responsibility you Erjie should bear if she has.

This relationship between Yule and Jia Zhen is inseparable from their sisters' family background and Er Youjie's personality.

From the passage in the sixty-fourth chapter of Jia Rong, we can know that the wife of Sister You, You Sanjie and Sister Jia Zhen is not only different from her mother, but also different from her father. They were born to You Laoniang and her ex-husband and brought by You Laoniang when she remarried. Later, this husband (that is, You's father) also died. In You Laoniang's words, "family planning is really difficult, thanks to the help of the son-in-law (Jia Zhen) here". Therefore, it is the basic reason why Jia Zhen and Jia Rong can take advantage of people's crisis, and it is also the basic reason why Second Sister You quickly agreed to marry Jia Lian. It is welcome for Yule's sisters to have a brother-in-law to help them in such a difficult situation, and they dare not offend him easily. Jia Zhen took advantage of Second Sister You's weakness. You Erjie clearly knows that Jia Lian is going to marry her as a concubine, and she is also willing. Because the financial situation of the family made her feel that even being a concubine was a choice. At that time, women had no other way out except to live by men. Therefore, we should look at the past relationship between You Erjie and You Sanjie and Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Rong in this social background, and sympathize with their sisters' unfortunate experiences, instead of looking at them from the perspective of feudal morality. And judging from the narrative of the novel, especially in the sixty-fifth chapter, You Sanjie said to Jia Lian, "Don't be deceived, I'm afraid we don't know anything about your family. At the moment, I spent a few stinking money. You two brothers play with our sisters' rights as prostitutes. You have miscalculated. " There is no big problem between You Sanjie and Jia Zhen. You Sanjie and her sister are different in the degree and even nature of "slutty running".

In terms of personality, Second Sister You is worse than her elder sister. One of the most typical details is that Jia Zhen came back 65 times when Jia Lian was away. You Erjie saw Jia Zhen's mind and deliberately left with her mother, letting You Sanjie and Jia Zhen "wipe their faces side by side and be frivolous in every way." . Our little girl's leader couldn't stand it anymore, so they all hid out. Both of them had a good time and didn't know what to do. "At first glance, the problem is quite serious. Especially it says, your mother, some servants, page, etc. Everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. It seems that You Sanjie's style is really not so good. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian came, so he went to Second Sister You for a drink and a heart-to-heart talk, and then went to the West Yard. " I saw the lights and candles in the window, and (You Sanjie and Jia Zhen) were drinking for fun. "There is no too out of line behavior. At this time, Jia Lian and Jia Zhen both understood each other and thanked each other for helping them get women. Jia Lian "took You Sanjie" and said a key word: "Come and have a drink with my brother-in-law! "The subtext of this statement is that you, your third sister, are already my brother Jia Zhen, so my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law. So your third sister is angry! Because Second Sister You is a mistress, anyway, with the consent of You Laoniang, Jia Lian bought a house, furniture and jewelry for Second Sister You, gave it to a servant, drove a car, and "worshiped heaven and earth and burned paper horses", which was regarded as a formal marriage. And now your third sister has nothing, how can she be Jia Zhen's person! Therefore, You Sanjie lambasted Jia Zhen and Jia Lian brothers, toyed with their sisters, and dared to protect his and her sister's personality.

Let's see how You Sanjie got out of this evil spirit at that time: "You Sanjie stood on the kang (how fierce) and pointed at Jia Lian with a smile (this is called laughing and cursing):' You don't have to talk to me (sweet words), clear water mixed noodles, I can see that you are eating. At least don't poke this paper when you see the Son of Man (shadow play) coming on stage. Don't be so careless. I'm sorry we don't know your family. (Let's take a closer look. ) Now that you have spent a few stinking dollars, you two brothers are playing with our two sisters (prostitutes). You have miscalculated. I also know that your wife is too difficult, and now she has kidnapped my sister to be a mistress (exposing the essence), and the stolen gong can't be struck (without legal status). I'm going to meet grandma Feng and see how many heads and hands she has. If everyone is easy to live in peace, then go; If you are a little bit hard on people, I have a book to dig out your bezoar dog treasure in advance, and then have a fight with that bitch. Isn't that You Sanjie! "Your third sister's words," scared Jia Lian's wine awake. Jia Zhen doesn't want your third sister to be so shameless and great. The two brothers are used to playing in the romantic field. I don't want to be stopped by this girl's words today. "

Don't forget that Jia Zhen is not only the head of the Jia family, but also a hereditary general with a title. The assistant minister (deputy minister) of the imperial court is only the third product! Jia Lian is not an idle person, he also donated a fellow five-product knowledge.

We know that the abnormal behaviors of many disadvantaged groups or groups are often forced out by powerful groups or groups. Because vulnerable groups can't take normal measures to safeguard their legitimate interests, they are forced to take extraordinary measures. You Sanjie's words and deeds should be judged from this angle.

You Sanjie's way of speaking shocked both of them. "I talked about myself, squandered it for a while, and made fun of his two brothers. It was really him who went whoring with a man, not a man who raped him. When he was full of wine and food, he was not allowed to sit down again, so he threw him out and closed the door to sleep. " Especially severe, from then on, whenever there is an opportunity, You Sanjie "will Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong three people pour abuse, saying that his father and son three people cheated his widow and orphan girl". Jia Zhen never dares to come easily again. Sometimes it is You Sanjie who sends a page to him, making Jia Zhen "drooling, thinking close, not close, thinking far, confused." He (You Sanjie) feels fun. " You Sanjie's provocative words and deeds are a powerful revenge for Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and others insulting her sister's personality. She not only insisted on the best decission, exposed the cheating and dirty psychology of the other party, which made the other party lose all their personality, but also deliberately invited Jia Zhen to come, which made Jia Zhen reluctant to go and dare not lust. In fact, she exposed Jia Zhen's low personality. In the process of insulting this ugly class, You Sanjie got a psychological pleasure of revenge. You Sanjie is bold and knowledgeable. He said "making fun of them" to avoid "losing a reputation in vain" in the future. This is not only for my sisters, but also for the injured women in the world. Indeed, as she said, their sisters are all "people beyond gold and jade", especially You Sanjie, who is a heroine among women.

You Sanjie fully showed the beautiful side of her inner world in her feelings for Liu Xianglian.

You Sanjie's suicide can't be simply regarded as disappointment with love, but a manifestation of maintaining our personal dignity. This can also prove that her so-called "wild running" is actually no big deal. The mistake of "correcting" is nothing more than pulling Jia Rong's mouth and teasing Jia Zhen. From a modern point of view, these are nothing, but in feudal society, men can flirt with women, which is considered to be indecent and frivolous at most; However, if women are not careful, they will be strongly criticized and considered to be detrimental to women's morality, disobedient to women's morality, and even "lewd." Prostitutes such as Jia Baoyu, Xue Pan and Yuner can drink and have fun together, but ordinary women will become "immoral" if they participate in such activities. Therefore, we should not only re-examine Yule's so-called "lewdness" in the past with a modern eye, but also ignore the differences in various connotations of "lewdness" in A Dream of Red Mansions, and more importantly, we should see many unreasonable norms that were too strict with women's words and deeds in that era.

It should be pointed out that Jia Lian and Jia Zhen have different attitudes towards Yule. Although Jia Lian plays with women, he also has true feelings for Second Sister You. The most powerful evidence is that 65 years later, Jia Lian wrote that he "moved out all the ladder money (private money) accumulated for many years, kept it with his second sister, and told him everything Feng Pingping did at his bedside, waiting for him to die before taking him in." Some of them may be empty promises, but it shows some sincerity to give all the money accumulated over the years to Sister You for collection. So after Xifeng killed Second Sister You, Jia Lian was determined to avenge Second Sister You, and finally divorced Xifeng. Cao Xueqin never simplifies his characters. Sixty-five times, I said, "Second Sister You has changed now, but she has lost her feet and got the word" slutty ". It doesn't matter what benefits she has. " Jia Lian said, "It is very good for anyone who has made mistakes to learn and correct them." Therefore, don't mention the lewdness of the past, just take the beauty of the present. Jia Lian didn't care about Second Sister You's past, thinking that it would be good to change. At that time, it was not easy for ordinary men. Even today in the 2 1 century, some men are still worried about their girlfriends or fiancee's past, and even divorced soon after they got married. Therefore, it should be said that Jia Lian can have such a measure, which is still worthy of recognition.

The important position of Yule's story in A Dream of Red Mansions can be seen from its large proportion. One of the most important aspects is to expose the corruption of the social judicial system at that time. There are several cases in A Dream of Red Mansions that expose judicial violations. The most famous cases are Jia Yucun's gourd case, Wang Xifeng's "Crossing Time and Space" killed Zhang Jinge and the son of the garrison, and Jia Yucun killed a stone idiot. However, the highest-ranking and most serious case was that Wang Xifeng bribed Duchayuan to handle Zhang Hua's case.

It turns out that Jia Zhen has asked You Laoniang to give Zhang Hua twenty-two taels of silver as a finger marriage, and wrote an engagement for breaking off an engagement (sixty-four times), which is a settlement. Later, in order to make a big deal out of this matter, Feng asked his servant Wang Er to give Zhang Hua twenty taels of silver and told him to go to Douchayuan to sue Jia Lian for "betraying his parents, bullying others, forcing marriage, stopping his wife from remarrying" and other charges. Two taels of silver let Zhang Hua follow. It can be seen that twenty taels of silver is not a decimal. How much use can twenty taels of silver have? There is a detail in chapter 65 for reference. At that time, Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You, bought a house with more than 20 rooms in Xiaohuazhi Lane behind Erfu, and bought two little maids. Jia Zhen also assigned Mr. and Mrs. Bao Er to serve. Your mother and your third sister also live here. There are always "a dozen people" (nearly ten). How much does Jia Lian spend every month? "Jia Lian gave five taels of silver a month for daily use" and lived a "very rich life" (sixty-five times). "If (Jia Lian) doesn't come, his mother and daughter will eat together; If Jia Lian comes, he will have dinner with his wife, and his mother and daughter will go back to their room to eat themselves. " Even if this "supply" is only the money for four people to eat, the salary (monthly money) is nothing, and five taels of silver is more valuable!

What institution is Duchayuan? Duchayuan was one of the highest law enforcement agencies at that time, a bit like the modern Supreme Procuratorate or the Ministry of Supervision. The chief of Douchayuan is Shi Yu, the capital of Zuodu. After eight years of Yongzheng, it is a product, and it is tied with ministers and local governors. The vice governor is the left vice governor of the empire and the third product. There are a group of officials at different levels, such as four products and six products. This advisor of the left capital of Douchayuan not only "participated in the imperial court affairs", but also "corrected major activities such as sacrificial ceremonies", and was also able to examine and approve important death penalty cases together with the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple Association. As a result, Wang Xifeng sent someone to be the plaintiff and gave Douchayuan three hundred and twenty pieces of silver. Jia Lian's "filial piety in the country, filial piety at home" belongs to the list of "law enforcement is not as good as etiquette" during the national mourning. The defendant Jia Lian was sent by Jia Zhen to bribe the Duchayuan with two hundred and twenty pieces of silver. Wang Xifeng not only bribed a lot of money, but also wrote in his sixty-eight reply: "Duchayuan always loves Wang Ziteng (Wang Xifeng's uncle, the lookout of nine provinces)." Of course, he turned to Wang Xifeng for help. This incident fully exposed the extreme decay of the judicial system in that era. It was indeed the end of the world and there was no cure.

Yule is naturally one of the twelve women in Jinling. They don't appear in the official book, so which book should they be in? Those album pages are regular. According to the clue provided by Feipi, the supplementary book should be Yu Ji, because the head of the supplementary book is Xiangling; "Beautiful Girl" is divided into volumes, because Qingwen and xiren are in front. From this point of view, second sister, you must be on a book. You Sanjie is not a beautiful girl, so she won't be on the list. Because she was engaged to Liu Xianglian, although Liu Xianglian broke off the engagement, which led to You Sanjie's suicide, Liu Xianglian regretted it, calling her a "strong-willed wife" and cutting off her family. Therefore, You Sanjie can be regarded as Liu Xianglian's wife, and she should also be in the supplementary book. And the ranking is likely to be ahead of her sister and second sister. Not only because "wife" is Tang Huo in law, but also has a higher status than concubine, Cao Xueqin obviously gives You Sanjie a higher moral evaluation.
