Jia Lan: Lost his father at an early age, deeply influenced by his mother Li Feng, and was a shining lintel in the examination after he became an adult
Jia Lan is the only son of Jia Zhu and Li Feng, because Jia Zhu died early, Jia Lan lost his father at an early age, and he and his mother Li Feng were dependent on each other. In the first eighty times, Jia Lan did not appear many times, was deeply influenced by his mother Li Feng, knew how to protect himself at a young age, and had maturity and indifference that was not commensurate with his age. In the last forty times that Gao Yan continued to write, the adult Jia Lan Kao raised a person to the lintel and became the hope of Jia Fu.
First, Jia Lan lost his father at an early age and was deeply influenced by his mother Li Feng.
This Jia Zheng's father's wife, Wang Shi, the first born son, named Jia Zhu, entered school at the age of fourteen, and when he was less than twenty years old, he married his wife, gave birth to a child, and died of an illness.
It can be seen from this that shortly after Li Yi gave birth to his son Jia Lan, Jia Zhu fell ill and died. It can be said that Jia Lan lost his father at an early age and grew up under the care of his mother Li Feng.
Jia Lan was five years old when he first appeared, it is reasonable to say that the five-year-old child did not understand things, and still hid in the arms of his parents, but the five-year-old Jia Lan had already begun to study hard under the education of his mother Li Feng, and he had already understood mingzhe to protect himself when dealing with things, and the ninth big trouble school was the best example.
This Jia Mu and Jia Lan are the best, so the two sit at the same table. Who knew that although Jia Fungus was young, he had the greatest ambition, and he was extremely naughty and not afraid of people. He coldly saw Jin Rong's friend secretly helping Jin Rong, flying yan to play tea, but without smoking, he landed on his table, and was hitting in front of him, smashing a magnetic kettle and splashing a book of black water. How Jia Xi relied on it, he scolded: "Good prisoners, don't you all move your hands!" Scolding, he grabbed the bricks and tried to fight them back. Jia Lan was a convenient person, busy holding Yan, and exhorted with great mouth: "Good brother, it has nothing to do with us." ”
The ninth time the Dream of the Red Chamber was a big fuss in the school, this incident arose because of Qin Zhong and Jin Rong, and finally Baoyu's small tea smoke brought people in to make a big fuss. At that time, a group of naughty children were fighting, and Jia Xi, who was sitting at the same table with Jia Lan, couldn't look at it anymore, and he wanted to help his uncle Baoyu, but he was persuaded by Jia Lan.
Jia Lan felt that this matter had nothing to do with them, and although Baoyu was his uncle, he would not help. Obviously, Jia Lan, who lost his father at an early age, had already learned to protect himself through the words and deeds of his mother Li Feng in the days when he was dependent on his mother Li Feng. It's just that this seemingly indifferent approach is very out of proportion to Jalan's age. At a young age, Jalan showed a calmness and indifference that was not commensurate with his age.
Of course, Jia Lan's indifference, in addition to being influenced by his mother Li Feng, is also related to Jia Lan's lack of attention. It is reasonable to say that Jia Lan is the grandson of Jia Zheng and Lady Wang, and after the death of her son Jia Zhu, Lady Wang and Jia Zheng should love this child who has not had a father since childhood. But in fact, this is not the case, Jia Lan's presence in the Rongguo Mansion is very low, belonging to the kind of children whose grandfather does not hurt his grandmother and does not love.
Madame Wang is Jia Lan's grandmother, but she does not love Jia Lan like Jia Mu loves her grandson Bao Yu. In Madame Wang's eyes, only Baoyu is her dependence and hope, and in her eyes, only Baoyu, the precious son, grandson Jia Lan is neglected. Being neglected for a long time affected Jalan's character, but also made him indifferent in calm.
Second, Jia Lan became the shadow of Jia Huan.
When Jia Lan appeared on some occasions, he rarely appeared alone, always appearing with his uncle Jia Huan. Both children were unloved and neglected for a long time, but unlike Jia Huan's anger, Jia Lan behaved peacefully. It's just that sometimes because of his strong self-esteem, it will make outsiders think that he has an eccentric personality.
In fact, Because Jia Lan lost his father at an early age, he lacked his father's love and lack of security, and he had a sensitive and stubborn personality. On some important occasions, if Jia Zheng did not call him, Jia Lan would not attend. Jia Zheng compared to Mrs. Wang, is still a grandfather who hurts his grandson, in the twenty-second dream of the Red Chamber, the Lantern Family Banquet, Jia Zheng found that Jia Lan did not come, specially sent someone to ask Li Feng, and finally learned that it was Jia Zheng who did not call Jia Lan, and later Jia Zheng deliberately let Jia Huan go over to bring Jia Lan over.
Probably because of the same disease, Jia Lan and Jia Huan became playmates, and the feelings of the two of them to outsiders were always inseparable, and Jia Lan became the shadow of Jia Huan. The difference is that Jia Huan has a distorted personality under the influence of his birth mother, Aunt Zhao, and people have become bad, while Jia Lan is also influenced by his mother Li Feng, who usually acts cautiously and carefully, and has a maturity that is not commensurate with his age.
The same child who is not valued by the masters of Jia Fu, Jia Lan is different from Jia Huan, he is not jealous and complaining everywhere like Jia Huan, he is very calm, like an adult who does not panic.
Third, Jia Lan's adult examination is a shining lintel.
Zhi Gongju's papers in the examination were played, and the emperor read them one by one, and the articles in the examination were all well-accessible. Seeing that the seventh Jia Baoyu was a Jinling native, and the 130th was Jinling Jialan, the emperor asked: "The two surnames jia are jinling people, is it a family of Jia Concubines?" The minister led the order to come out and pass on Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan to ask questions. Jia Lan sang Baoyu's lost words, and the three generations of Chen Ming, the minister in his place.
This is the content of Gao Yan's forty times after he continues to write, from which it can be seen that Jia Lan kao was a person, and his mother Li Feng's years of painstaking education finally had results. Originally, Li Feng should have enjoyed the blessings, and the orphans and widows finally survived and no longer had to rely on others to live.
Li Feng's sentence contains a phoenix crown and a xia shuai, indicating that Jia Lan became an official after zhongju, not only shining on the lintel, but also giving his mother Li Feng a chance to be a lady of the commandment. Unfortunately, from the analysis of Li Feng's judgment and the Dream of the Red Chamber, after Jia Lanzhong became an official, although his career was smooth, he was also a person without blessings, and like his father Jia Zhu, he also died young.
Obviously, Jia Lan's death dealt a great blow to Li Feng, even greater than Jia Zhu's death. Some people have analyzed that the "also need to have children and grandchildren in the dream of Li Yi's red chamber" refers to the fact that after Jia Lan kao was raised to become an official, Sister Qiao encountered difficulties and asked Li Feng for help, but did not get help. Li Yi's selfishness and indifference eventually made her lose the son who loved her.
Of course, this is just a guess based on Li Feng's dream song, Jia Lan is also a bitter child, he lost his father since childhood, grew up under the education and upbringing of his mother Li Feng, and his honor in the examination was glorious, so that his mother Li Feng could live a happy life, which was also his happiest time. Jia Lan, who is both literate and martial, should have had a good ending, but the tragic ending of the Dream of the Red Chamber has long been set, and Jia Lan's ending cannot escape the tragic ending.
