In ancient times, there was a hierarchy, and the rulers divided people into the upper nine, the middle nine, and the lower nine.
The upper nine streams are naturally the most noble and highest-ranking people, including emperors, secretaries of state, sages, hermits, child immortals, literati, warriors, peasants, etc.; the middle nine streams include doctors, bu zheng, danqing, soldiers, lobbyists, chivalrous people, etc.; the lower nine streams are at the lowest end, often discriminated against by others, including good people, drummers, circuses, shaving heads, bathhouse makers, pedicures, prostitutes and so on.
In different eras, the division of the upper nine streams, the middle nine streams and the lower nine streams has certain differences, which are not completely consistent, but in any case, Youling is the rank of the lower nine streams, and to a certain extent, even the status of prostitutes is not comparable.
Therefore, Aunt Zhao in "Dream of the Red Chamber", because the little drama in the family Fangguan teased her son Jia Huan, and was furious, rushed to the Yihong Courtyard regardless of his disregard, threw jasmine powder on Fangguan's face, split his head to cover his face, and scolded: "... You are no more than a prostitute and a pink head, and the inferior slaves in my family are more noble than you, and you will watch people cook dishes..."
The domestic drama team is naturally in a slightly better situation than the drama team running outside, but in fact, the status is not high, and they are all the same lower nine streams. To a certain extent, they also played the awkward role of the owner's plaything, especially those handsome male celebrities.
In ximen Qing's home in "Jin Ping Mei", there is a small house called a book boy, which is actually such a role. He originally came to Ximen Qing's house because he could sing music. Because of his beautiful looks, he became Ximen Qing's "child prostitute", and was looked down upon by other slaves in Ximen Qing's family, and The words that Tortoise An'er scolded him were always as ugly as they were to hear.
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", there is also a character like a book boy, he is Jiang Yuhan, a good man in the family of Prince Zhongshun.
In terms of status, Jiang Yuhan can definitely be regarded as the most despicable man in "Dream of the Red Chamber", but economically speaking, Jiang Yuhan seems to be very rich. With his status as a slave, he actually bought a house and land on the outskirts of the capital and lived like a rich man.
Obviously, Jiang Yuhan was able to live such a life, and he had a close relationship with the favor of his master, Prince Zhongshun. As a good life, it is despicable and humiliating, and Jiang Yuhan, who has money in her hand, wants to fight and wants to leave the Zhongshun Palace, which is also a very normal idea. So he did a very bold thing - playing with fire among the three magnates in the capital.
Rich and powerful can never be equated, and powerful people can twist and kill rich but powerless people with a wave of their hands, just like twisting ants. Jiang Yuhan obviously did not realize this. He thought that he could escape from the magic cave of the Zhongshun King's Mansion and start a new life from now on, but he did not expect how tragic his ending would be.
Prince Zhongshun was the master of Jiang Yuhan and one of the most powerful people in the capital; the Prince of Beijing was a good friend of Jiang Yuhan and the big red sweat towel he gave to Jiang Yuhan. It can be seen that the Prince of Beijing also has a great love for Jiang Yuhan. However, the Prince of Northern Jing could not protect Jiang Yuhan at all, and it was very likely that he instigated Jiang Yuhan to escape from the Zhongshun Palace. However, it was clear that Prince Zhongshun was not willing to directly call The Prince of Northern Jing, and he asked his men to transfer the contradiction to another powerful family in the capital, Jia Province.
A big red sweat towel strung together the Prince of Beijing, Jiang Yuhan and Jia Baoyu, the young master of Jia Province. Chang Shiguan's Xingshi questioning made Jia Baoyu suffer a good beating, and he also honestly explained Jiang Yuhan's whereabouts.
A lowly youling, playing with fire between the three powerful families of Zhongshun Wangfu, Beijing Wangfu and Jia Fu, is bound to be like a moth to the fire.
After Jia Baoyu was beaten, he had a sleepy dream that Jiang Yuhan walked in and cried to himself about being captured and returned to the Zhongshun Palace. This dream, true or false, false and real, has been revealed, and Jiang Yuhan, who was arrested and returned, will definitely not have a good result.
In the "daughter order" of Jiang Yuhan's future wife attacking people, there is another sentence "The daughter is worried, there is no money to fight osmanthus oil", which is even more embarrassing for Jiang Yuhan's future. The "rich man" who once bought a house and land in Rosewood Fort ended so bleak that he could not even afford to buy the osmanthus oil that his wife needed to comb her hair.
Apparently, after Jiang Yuhan was captured and returned to the Zhongshun Palace, the Zhongshun Prince cut off all his financial means and confiscated all of Jiang Yuhan's belongings, just as Lady Wang confiscated Qingwen's property and clothes, to prevent him from escaping again.
His arms could not twist his thighs, and he struggled to fight but lost miserably, Jiang Yuhan played with fire among the three powerful people in the capital, and finally ended up with a most tragic end.
