The treatment that Jia Baoyu enjoyed in the Jia family was very generous, even to the point of letting the Jia family side the destination. Lin Daiyu said that he and Feng Jie were favored, and there were gossips behind the slaves.
And the reason why Jia Baoyu is favored is not complicated. Aunt Zhao once said fairly:
(Twenty-fifth time) "He is still a child's family, and he looks good, and the adults are partial to him." ”
As the saying goes, "the old son and the eldest grandson", Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu hurt him, but they were "afraid of being broken in their hands, and afraid of melting in their mouths".
Doted on by his grandmother and mother, Jia Baoyu's character was "arrogant and stubborn", did not love to read, hated the articles of the imperial examination, scolded the readers as "Lu Yin" drunk on fame and fortune, and even more destroyed the monks and slandered the absurdity...
He is not ashamed of the career economy, and only hangs out in the daughter group every day. It is inevitable to give people the impression of being stupid, not learning and having no skills, and only knowing how to eat, drink and have fun and waste time.
Jia Huan once made a "pillow and animal head" riddle, "pillow" is a satire on Jia Baoyu's "embroidered pillow".
Lin Daiyu also said that Baoyu was a "silver pewter gun head", and many girls even had the saying of "the cannon battle of myrrh letter", ridiculing Jia Baoyu's reality of "no benefit to the country and the family".
After the Jia family raided the house, Jia Baoyu was indeed devastated. Not only was he unable to turn the tide, but he also left his wife Xue Baochao to leave the house. Prove him with actions that he is truly incompetent and irresponsible.
As a result, the claim that Jia Baoyu was a "moth in the corpse vegetarian meal" was rampant, criticizing him for being useless.
If you start from the Confucian view of "qi family ruling the country and the world", the above view is good. But Junji Yakan Red Chamber did not approve of Jia Baoyu's criticism.
It is obviously unfair to use the reading discipline and responsibility pursued by secular adults to demand a teenage "child" Jia Baoyu.
By the end of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Jia Baoyu should be less than twenty years old, and there is no "crown ceremony". He cannot be judged by the standards of an adult.
Moreover, although Jia Baoyu did not like keju Shitu, he was not blindly eating, drinking and having fun. He did not do nothing every day, but arranged the time to be particularly full. Except for playing with the sisters and being "enslaved" by the servants, most of the other time is spent studying. It's just that instead of studying the keju career path, it is learning to study the classics, and the scope of the hunt is very broad.
Confucian classics, Taoist doctrines, Buddhist meditation... Jia Baoyu has studied and studied. He "slandered the monks and slandered the Tao" and hated lu beetles, not against the classical teachings, but against the people's hearts of the social desires of the time.
Jia Baoyu continued with feeling when he read the "Zhuangzi Nanhua Jing, Outer Chapters, and Shu Zhen". It shows that he can combine the contents of the classics with life and have some understanding.
Xue Baochao mentioned the "Dotted Lips" of "Lu Zhi Deeply Drunk and Haunting Wutai Mountain", and he wrote the phrase "Enlightenment". Although Lin Daiyu was dumbfounded by Lin Daiyu's questions later, it did not hinder his cultural accumulation and understanding.
When Jia Baoyu was three or four years old, he followed his sister Yuan Chun to learn several books and knew thousands of words. At that time, "learning" was different from reading it again now, which meant reading and reading through.
Moreover, Jia Baoyu's "words" are also well written. Although the slaves have exaggerated suspicions and say that there are people outside who "ask", they must also be targeted. Jia Baoyu himself wrote the three words "Daiyunxuan", proudly pasted them on the door lintel, and asked Lin Daiyu "is it good". If not he wouldn't have done so.
In addition, Jia Baoyu also has a lot of insights in cosmetics, clothing, and playthings.
Especially in terms of poetry and spirituality, Jia Baoyu was highly praised by celebrities in the social circle at that time. Even Jia Zheng, who has always been dissatisfied with him, has recognized him more and more...
In this way, how to see Jia Baoyu is an all-round prodigy, with profound cultural skills and literary attainments. Otherwise, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochao, Miao Yu and others would not have "blue eyes" on him.
Of course, no matter how capable Jia Baoyu was, he couldn't hide the reality that he didn't understand the affairs. Those who think he is incompetent are only evaluating him in terms of "business". It's biased.
We can't ask the teenage rich man to think deeply and save the Jia family.
Jia Baoyu was just a teenager who didn't know the hardships of others, and his clothes came to stretch out his hands and food to open his mouth, living a carefree life that matched his age and the prince of Wang Sun.
Cao Xueqin created Jia Baoyu, nor was it to criticize him as a teenager and not be responsible for the rise and fall of the family!
Jia Baoyu only needs to do himself well, and that's enough! He can't build a family, but he will, and the vast majority of people won't, and neither can!
