The story of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" begins with Ziwei entering Beijing to find her father and encountering Xiao Yanzi.
When I watched it back then, I only thought that Ziwei's life was so pitiful! Since childhood, he has been dependent on his mother for his life, and he has never seen his father, and his father does not know his existence; later, his mother also passed away, lonely and lonely. Confessing that his father also came out of the oolong, the whole first part did not get his identity, and he had to be tortured by the queen.
Recently re-watched, I found that Ziwei is not very pitiful. Although she had never met her father, she was able to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, and she had already lived a better life than most people at that time!
Carefully analyzing the life described by Ziwei, I also found that there is a tall person behind Ziwei!

Ziwei told Xiaoyanzi about her life: "I have never seen my father, I think, my father does not know, there is a me in this world." ...... My dad and my mom never got into each other. ”
Xiao Yanzi asked, "Is it true that your father and your mother are privately destined for life?" ”
Ziwei said, "Not exactly. My grandfather and grandmother also knew it at the time. I think they want to accomplish this, or even want it to happen.
My grandfather was a talent in Jinan at that time. I heard that my father came to my house to sit down that day to avoid the rain. This sitting, I met my mother. Later, sitting became small stay.
After staying for a while, my father went back to Beijing, and he promised my mother that within three months, he would take my mother back to Beijing. But my father's promise was not fulfilled, and he probably returned to Beijing and forgot about my mother. ”
Xiao Yanzi asked, "Why didn't your grandfather go looking for him?" ”
Ziwei said, "My grandfather had his own pride, and when he got angry, he fell ill and died." My grandmother was a woman and a Taoist family, had no idea, and after a few years, she also died.
My mother had a daughter out of wedlock, of course, not allowed to be with relatives and friends, and my heart was always angry, I had no contact with anyone, and I never told me about my life.
It wasn't until last year, when my mother was dying, that she told me everything and asked me to come to Beijing to find my father. ”
Previously, my understanding of this dialogue was that Qianlong entered the Xia family in order to avoid the rain, met Xia Yuhe, and the two fell in love at first sight. The Xia family's family situation is an ordinary family, after all, the poor acid show is talented! But now, it doesn't.

First of all, let's analyze whether Qianlong is a micro-service travel?
I think that Qianlong should have arrived in Jinan with great fanfare, then traveled to Daming Lake to play in micro-service, and then entered the Xia family to avoid the rain.
Ziwei said that grandpa and grandmother wanted Xia Yuhe to be with Qianlong. This proved that the second elder of the Xia family had confirmed Qianlong's identity. Otherwise, don't say that the Xia family is a scholarly family, even if it is a Zhuang family, it is impossible to hand over the only daughter to a foreigner of unknown origin.
In confirming Qianlong's identity, it is impossible to only listen to Qianlong, and there must be a channel for verification. If Qianlong is out of the palace, the show in that place is impossible to know. Therefore, Qianlong must have arrived in Jinan with great fanfare, and then went to Daming Lake to play, and then to the Xia family to avoid the rain.
The second elder of the Xia family heard Qianlong's Beijing accent and saw that Qianlong was age-appropriate, gorgeously dressed, and extraordinary, thus confirming Qianlong's identity.
Qianlong was able to see Xia Yuhe in the Xia family, not an accident, nor was it that no one in the Xia family entertained guests, but after the second elder of the Xia family confirmed Qianlong's identity, he deliberately let Xia Yuhe entertain guests.

Secondly, let's analyze the family situation of the Xia family, the Xia family is not an ordinary family.
Qianlong changed from sitting in the Xia family to staying in a small house, which was a big change. Small sitting, the Xia family as long as there is a chair on the line; small stay, proof that the Xia family at least has a guest room. Sitting small, Qianlong can not bring anyone; small stay, Qianlong must have an entourage around him, proving that the Xia family has more than one guest room.
Qianlong went to Jinan with great fanfare, so where he could live small, the specifications must not be low. Although it cannot be compared with the Chen family (Zhi painter) in the third part, in Jinan, the Xia family can also be regarded as a large family.
Qianlong was able to have a child with Xia Yuhe, which proved that Xia Yuhe was already of marriage and childbearing age at that time. According to the age of marriage and childbearing in the Qing Dynasty, Ziwei's grandfather's age should be over 35 years old. Such an older age, still a show talent, the most elementary name, it is estimated that Ziwei's grandfather will not be able to pass the higher merit name.
Xiucai can not be directly an official, if Ziwei Grandpa is still committed to the imperial examination, it means that there is no job; if it is not tested, as a meritorious person, Ziwei Grandfather cannot be in business, then he will not find a job that is too profitable. Therefore, the Xia family's family property was not earned by Ziwei's grandfather, but could only be inherited.
That is to say, the Xia family is in Jinan, and it is a large family that has experienced several generations.

Analyzing here, everyone may be very confused: or did not say who the tall man behind Ziwei is?
This tall man is Ziwei's grandmother.
Ziwei said: "My grandmother was a woman and a Taoist family, had no idea, and after a few years, she also died." "That Ziwei is too small to look down on her grandmother."
According to Ziwei's description, the population of the Xia family is very simple, only the second elder of the Xia family, Xia Yuhe and Xia Ziwei. In the second part, when the empress sent someone to find the Xia family, she only found Ziwei's uncle and uncle, that is, Yuhe's uncle and aunt. It can be seen that the Xia family does not have any immediate family members.
The Xia family in Jinan is a large family that has experienced several generations, although Ziwei's grandfather is not controversial in terms of merit, but the good villain is also the young master of the big family, nearly forty years old, only Yuhe this one daughter. Ziwei's grandmother basically could no longer have children, but Ziwei's grandfather did not take a concubine and have children.
Under the traditional fertility concept of ancient people paying attention to "no filial piety has three, no queen is greater", Ziwei's grandfather does not accept concubines to have children, which makes people have to sigh that Ziwei's grandmother is really a royal husband!
Xia Yuhe was able to make Qianlong, who was a harem beauty of three thousand, fall in love at first sight, which showed the high level of talent. Was this kind of talent cultivated by Ziwei's grandfather? No, in ancient times, it was "male outside, female inside", and the inner courtyard was run by the main mother of the family. That is, Xia Yuhe's talent was personally cultivated by Ziwei's grandmother or invited someone to cultivate it.
Ziwei said that her grandfather had his own pride, and when he got angry, he fell ill and died. It can be seen from this that Ziwei's grandfather did have a bit of a literati's pride, and in the face of her daughter being abandoned, she was pregnant, and she could not accept it. Then, Ziwei's grandfather should not let his daughter (Xia Yuhe) go to the front yard to entertain male guests.
Xia Yuhe will appear in the front yard, which was arranged by Ziwei's grandmother. Since the husband has no big success, it is better to cultivate his daughter well, seize the opportunity to let her daughter become a queen concubine, and she and the Xia family will also ascend to the heavens one step at a time.
Although the Xia family did not have any immediate family members, there would always be some relatives of the same clan. After The death of Ziwei's grandfather, there will be no males in the Xia family, and the clan relatives will definitely come to compete for the inheritance. But Ziwei said that Xia Yuhe asked the best master to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, and at the age of 12, she also learned Manchu.
From the perspective of cultivating Ziwei, Xia Yuhe's financial resources are still strong. So who keeps this family property? Grandma Ziwei, of course! When Ziwei's grandfather died, Xia Yuhe should be pregnant or just in a state of childbirth, and only Ziwei's grandmother and clan relatives could mediate to keep the family property and let herself, daughter and granddaughter have a life guarantee.
It can be seen that Grandma Ziwei is a learned and capable woman.

Ziwei said that her grandmother also died a few years later. How many years have passed?
I think it must have been eight or nine years. In the second part, when the uncle and uncle entered the palace, the uncle said, "I haven't seen him for many years... I remember the year I moved to Thousand Buddha Mountain, you were only 9 years old. Ziwei did not deny: "Originally lived in No. 52 Jiangjia Lane, Baotu Spring Road, and later moved to Lihua Town under the Thousand Buddha Mountain." ”
The Xia family moved because Ziwei's grandmother passed away.
Grandma Ziwei had the ability to keep and run most of the family business, but Xia Yuhe did not. Xia Yuhe had the talent to impress Qianlong, and it was difficult for him to have the ability to run a family business.
Ziwei was taught piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song by the best masters from childhood, which is a big expense. Who decides? Grandma Ziwei.
Ziwei's grandmother cultivated xia yuhe, who was very talented, and convinced the Qianlong Emperor. At this point, Grandma Ziwei should be very proud, proving that there is no problem with her cultivation method. Therefore, she will also cultivate Ziwei according to this model.
Grandma Ziwei, such a capable woman, will definitely arrange the lives of her daughter and granddaughter before she dies. Ziwei must continue to cultivate, not only to cultivate talent, but also to learn Manchu to prepare for the future return to the palace. All of this requires a lot of financial support. Since only Xia Yuhe and Ziwei mother and daughter were left in the Xia family, there was no need to keep the mansion and servants, so as not to find disaster.
Therefore, after Ziwei's grandmother passed away, Xia Yuhe sold the mansion, dismissed the servants, and bought a small courtyard to live according to her mother's instructions. This kind of life is only in and out, and after Xia Yuhe's death, the Xia family's property is running out, and it cannot support Ziwei to live alone or marry and have children. Xia Yuhe then asked Ziwei to go to Beijing to find her father.
Ziwei is also talented, but lacks financial management ability, even if she sells her house, when she and Jinsuo go to Beijing, there will be very little left. Thus, there is the story of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".
In the past, it was only thought that Grandma Ziwei gave Life to Yuhe and Ziwei; now it seems that Grandma Ziwei has paved the way for Yuhe and Ziwei for a lifetime!
