#Dream of the Red Chamber ##如果你是男人, are you willing to marry Baochao or marry Daiyu #
From a legal point of view, the real reason why Xue Jialai did not leave the Jia family, and the feasibility of the so-called "golden jade good relationship"
Recently, I have seen several articles, and many red studies researchers have opposed Jia Dai, believing that Xue Jialai has not left the Jia family for many years, because he wants to seek a "golden jade good relationship" and wants to fish for Jia Baoyu, the golden turtle son-in-law. In this regard, the mother and daughter of the Xue family are of course full of scheming, and on the side of the Jia family, Jia Baoyu's mother, Lady Wang, is the most active facilitator.
This statement really makes me a little spitting rice, how is this possible? The mother and daughter of the Xue family were "desperate" to the outside world at that time, and Xue Baochao was even the sister of a murderer, and none of her children could be elected as officials. Did Lady Wang marry such a daughter-in-law to Baoyu, so as to cut off the way back for her own children and grandchildren?
First, Xue Pan is a murderer who has been on the run for a year
Xue Pan killed Feng Yuan in order to grab Xiangling and committed a life lawsuit at Ying Tianfu. This is a major event in any dynasty, and he killed a male son, but not an ordinary person. And this "Dumb Overlord" did not know the height of the sky, and actually wanted to solve the problem with a walk. The book reads:
"After beating Feng Gongzi and taking the handmaiden, he was fine, just taking his family to his path." He has his own brothers and slaves here to cook, and it is not worth his escape for these small things...". Such a big thing as killing people, Xue Pan was also Shi Shiran with his mother and sister's family into Beijing, but the matter was pushed to the rest of the Xue family clan to deal with.
The Xue family population recorded in the book is simple, and after the death of Xue's father, it seems that there are only three mothers and sons of Aunt Xue. But in fact, the four major families are all prosperous and intertwined families. At that time, the Jia family had a total of twenty rooms among the four major families, with Ning Rong sending eight rooms in Kyoto and twelve rooms in the original Jinling. There are eighteen rooms in the Shi family, ten rooms in Kyoto, and eight rooms in the original Jinling. The Wang family has a total of twelve rooms, two in Kyoto and ten in its native Jinling. The Xue family has a total of eight rooms, all of which are in their original hometown of Jinling. This Xue Pan ran away with his mother and sister, and his room was fine for the time being, but his uncles and cousins in his hometown wanted to wipe his ass.
This can only be said that Xue Pan is not only lawless, but also ignorant of human feelings, and he believes that he has the Jia family and the Wang family as his backers, and he does not take the human life lawsuit seriously. However, he thought too simply, although there were many unjust cases in feudal society, but most of them were poor people who oppressed and had no power and no power, and the safety of the lives and property of such superior people was guaranteed. And the magnates are also afraid of imperial impeachment, in fact, they do not dare to do whatever they want. This Xue Pan killed people with ironclad evidence, where is it so easy to overturn the case?
Therefore, the former Ying Tianfu had to drag the case: "The murderous master and servant have all fled, without a trace, and only a few outsiders are left." The villain sued for a year, but no one was in charge. I hope that the great master will arrest the murderer, cut the evil and eliminate the murderer, in order to save the widows and orphans, and the deceased will feel that the grace of heaven is not endless!"
A year after Feng Yuan's murder, the murderer has not yet been arrested, but Xue Pan has become a "suspect who is on the run from the case". And the Xue family left for Beijing after the murder, and now they have been gone for a year, and they have not yet arrived! Where is this to enter Beijing to be elected, it is clearly a year of fugitive life. And Xue Baochao was twelve years old as soon as he appeared, and he had to be at least thirteen years old to enter Beijing to be elected, and a year after Feng Yuan's death, Xue Pan was still a murderer on the run, and Xue Baochao was already fourteen years old!
In the past, girls married early, and Xue Pan's case this time undoubtedly delayed his sister's affairs - who is looking for a murderer in the family of a fugitive? The Jia family is naturally even more unsure, so in the year before the conclusion of the case, the Jia family had absolutely no possibility of marrying the Xue family. The Xue family did not even enter the capital, they had been living in a fixed place, hiding around on the way from Jinling to the capital to avoid the arrest of the officials of the Tianfu.
Second, the Xue family is a family of murderers who cannot be disciplined
And it was not until Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng's strength revived the new Ying Tianfu, Lin Daiyu's master Jia Yucun, who succeeded him, that this matter took a turn for the better. But the idea that came up with the door at the time was:
"The little man has already thought of a brilliant idea here: the old man will sit in the hall tomorrow, just bluff, and move the paper to sign people. Naturally, the original culprit could not be obtained, and the plaintiff was bound to torture the Xue family and the slaves and servants...
See? This Xue Pan ran away, but still wanted to catch his people and torture the top cylinder. In the past, a clan member had to sit together, and this Xue Pan had caused them to become a family of murderers, and they would have to be tortured and interrogated by the lawsuit, so how could the people of this clan not hate Xue Pan? And how is this solved? That door is not to cancel the case and let Xue Pan clear the bottom of the case, but to fool the past with the reason that Xue Pan "died of a violent illness":
They were ordered to report a violent illness and died, and a letter of guarantee was handed over to the clan and the localities. The old man only said that the good can help the luan to invite the immortals, and the altar is set up on the hall, so that the military and civilians can just take care of it. The old master said, "The immortals approved, and the deceased Feng Yuan and Xue Pan met for the reason of their sins, and now that the narrow road has met, it should have been concluded." Xue Pan had now contracted a nameless illness and was chased by Feng Soul and died. "See? In the end, on the grounds that Xue Pan was killed by Feng Yuan's ghost, the case was hastily closed on the grounds that the murderer was dead and was no longer investigated for criminal responsibility, but only civil compensation was made - "a lot of burned silver was lost".
But in this way, there are great hidden dangers. First of all, the life and death of Xue Pan and even the entire Xue family was completely in the hands of Jia Yucun. And Lin Ruhai is the biggest benefactor of Jia Yu Village, and he is also Lin Daiyu's teacher, and even Lin Ruhai's lonely person at the time of his death is also Jia Yu Village. If this Xue family dared to be unfavorable to Lin Daiyu, once the news was known to Jia Yucun, with his power and ability to handle it, he could make the Xue family exterminate in a few minutes - of course, this is all an afterthought.
Another result of Feng Yuan's murder at that time was that Xue Pan became a legally dead man. In this way, the mother and daughter of the Xue family became "extinct families" and were the families of murderers. At that time, not only did he have to be asked for money by his uncles and brothers, but he might also be sold into the Qinglou, and his children could not become officials!
Third, the three major consequences of Xue Pan's murder
Although this Feng Yuan murder case was closed by "Hulu", Xue Pan also became a dead person from then on, and he could not return to his hometown. To be precise, he was a murderer with a criminal background, relying on ancient communications that were not developed, hiding in the field to make the bitter lord think that he was dead. But in this way, there are three major adverse consequences:
1. The mother and daughter of the Xue family have become "extinct"
In the past, the status of women was very low, and once a woman died of her husband and did not have a son, uncles and brothers could come to the door to receive all the property. As for women, that's the result of a rope tied up and sold to traffickers. The Xue family has eight rooms, and Aunt Xue's husband is dead and there is a son, but if the son dies again, it can be eaten "extinct".
And the other seven rooms of the Xue family are all businessmen, and they are not good men and women, and because of Xue Pan's murder case, they have eaten lawsuits and torture, if there is a chance, will they be merciful?
2. Xue Baochao lost the qualification of "to be elected"
The name of the Xue family entering Beijing was to send Xue Baochao "to be selected". In fact, this qualification is already debatable, and the Xue family is not a family of official eunuchs, but just an "imperial businessman", and it is reasonable to say that they are not qualified to be "to be elected". However, the Xue family had money, donated an official, and then stuffed enough silver for the manager, then it was still possible to obtain a qualification. As long as the money is enough to add Baochao's talent, even if there is no possibility of "entering the palace draft", then the "companion reading" of a county lord can still be won.
But as soon as Xue Pan's murder case came out, Bao Chao became the "sister of the murderer", how could he be "waiting to be elected" with this case? Although there was no household registration network at that time, but for the royal selection, it was necessary to find out clearly, how could xue pan's case stand up to investigation? If it is leaked, it is the "crime of deception", and it will be condemned to the three tribes! Therefore, the matter of Baochao's election will inevitably be ruined, even if it is barely mixed in with the first trial of a few "palace flowers", it will inevitably be found out - it is said that it is impossible to say that because of the fear of being involved, offending the people who do things for his family in the palace, the Xue family's "imperial businessman" qualification must not be guaranteed.
3. Baochao's children lost their qualifications for the imperial examination
In ancient times, this imperial examination was not for everyone to participate in, and it required the innocence of three generations of ancestors. During the Tang Dynasty, the merchant class was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. The New Book of Tang records that as soon as Tang Gaozu became emperor, he formulated a law restricting the entry of "sons of criminals and workers and aliens". The so-called son of a criminal, as the name suggests, is the son of a criminal. If one of the parents' family has a criminal record, the child is not allowed to enter the government, and this rule has been used by successive dynasties and dynasties - even today, the parents have criminal records, and the children cannot pass the political trial when they participate in the public examination.
And even if it was later relaxed, there were also provisions that untouchables could not participate in the imperial examination. At that time, the most typical untouchables were the families of criminals, as well as happy households, prostitutes, soaps, slaves, and beggars who could not participate in the examination. This Xue Baochao is both a "palace alien" and a "son of a criminal family", so naturally her children do not have any door to become an official.
Although the Jia family is a family family, this title has been reduced over the years, and even Jia Zheng has no knighthood, and when he arrives at Baoyu Jialan, he can only take the road of entering the shi. This Lady Wang is in the water, joking about the future of future generations, will she want her Xue Baochao to be a daughter-in-law? To know that although Madame Wang is stupid and bad, after all, she is also from a family family, and she will not know this point? And even if Madame Wang is mentally retarded, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng will never agree to let Xue Baochao be a daughter-in-law, cutting off all hopes for the children and grandchildren of the Jia family.
Fourth, Xue Jialai was in the Jia family in order to "avoid disasters"!
Therefore, in the days after the end of Feng Yuan's murder, not only was it impossible for the Jia family to marry the Xue family, but the situation of the Xue family could be said to be dangerous. At that time, from a public point of view, the male in Xue Pan's room was dead. The extinct number of men means that the Xue family's clan can come to the door at any time to ask for property, especially the elders of the other seven rooms, and they can use the name of uncle or uncle to naturally occupy all the property of the Xue Pan family, and even sell the xue family's mother and daughter to the kiln.
And Xue Pan was a black household at this time, and he couldn't come out to resist at all. If this dumb overlord came out on impulse and even ordered the evil servants to beat up the clan elders, the family could sue him at any time for a "crime of disobedience." When the time comes, as soon as you go to court to investigate the case, everything will be missed. Moreover, these clans can also provoke Feng Yuan's family to file a lawsuit, and Xue Pan will have to be wanted to run away again. At that time, the end of the Xue family's mother and daughter was still the fate of the assets being robbed, and Baochao and Aunt Xue being sold.
And even if you take ten thousand steps back, these Xue family members still have a conscience, even if they don't do it so desperately, then they only need to learn about Grandma Liu, and "fight the autumn wind" every three forks and five doors, which will also take Aunt Xue's old life. Do you know that these clansmen are not as small as Grandma Liu, they have a handle in their hands with a threat, the last time the door was not easy to take away a few hundred taels? This Xue family has seven rooms of people, and if the uncles and uncles line up to come to the door in shifts, this Xue Pan family can't stand it no matter how thick it is.
Therefore, at this time, the Xue family could take the method of not living in their house in The Capital, and hiding in the homes of relatives of high-ranking officials and dignitaries to avoid disasters. This Xue Pan was a dead man in the legal sense, and only the uncle's family hiding in jingying Jiedushi or the uncle's house in the Rongguo Gongfu was safe. Only in this way can we make it impossible for the enemy family to come to the door through the high-door and large households of relatives, especially if their clans do not dare to come to the door.
Some people say that at this time, Aunt Xue can go back to her mother's house, his brother Prince Teng is still there, and the family is Jingying Jiedu to make the power very large, is not better than Jia Zheng, who only has five pin officials? However, there was a problem in eating the family at that time, that is, if Aunt Xue took her family to the Wang family, that is to say, she returned to her mother's house after the death of her husband and son, which was equivalent to automatically giving up the ownership of the Xue family's property, and the Xue family could naturally recover the property.
At that time, if Prince Teng dared to help her hide the Xue family's property, the Xue family could sue at any time. Prince Teng, who was in charge of the military power of the Beijing camp, was a figure that many forces wanted to overthrow, and if there was a royal history to participate in him, then Prince Teng could not stand it. Moreover, at this time, Prince Teng was promoted to the position of the capital of the Nine Provinces, and he was ordered to go out of beijing to guard the border. If he was not at home, the tree would naturally be unstable, in contrast, the Jia family of the Guogongfu became the first person for the Xue family to avoid disasters. So a year after killing Feng Yuan, the Xue family, who sent his thirteen-year-old sister "into Beijing to wait for election" and had been displaced on the road for a year, finally completed the long road from Jinling to Kyoto, and after the murder was settled, he entered Beijing to Jia Province, and the three of them officially met. At this time, Bao Chao was known as fourteen years old, Bao Yu was twelve years old, and Dai Yu was an eleven-year-old child.
At that time, Lady Wang knew about Xue Pan's lawsuit, and thanks to Jia Yucun's maintenance of the settlement, she was relieved. I also saw that my brother had risen to the side of the shortage, and I was worried about the lack of relatives from my mother's family, and I was slightly lonely. A few days later, the family reported: "My aunt and wife have brought my brother and sister, entered Beijing with my family, and am getting off the bus outside the door." Lady Wang of Xi took the daughter-in-law and so on, took her out of the hall, and took Aunt Xue and the others in.
Therefore, this Xue family is not afraid of any lawsuit for human life, Xue Pan from killing people to officially appearing in Beijing, is with his mother and sister outside the unsettled, upside down and displaced places for more than a year. The fundamental reason why Xue Jialai did not leave the Jia family after that was not for any "golden and jade good fortune", but its essence was to "avoid disasters", especially to avoid the clans who fought the autumn wind.
And as long as the Jia family did not fall, to be precise, as long as it was not criminally raided, it would definitely not agree to Xue Baochao, who was a "lowly citizen", as a daughter-in-law, which was simply a way out for his own children and grandchildren! The so-called "golden jade good fortune" is a pipe dream from beginning to end.
