"Dream of the Red Chamber" is one of the four classical masterpieces, this well-known novel, there are many details, worthy of readers to investigate deeply, for example, the dream of the Red Chamber began, it introduced Lin Daiyu's life, Lin Daiyu was born in the book Xiang Mendi, his father was the inspector salt Yushi Lin Ruhai, the patrol salt royal history in ancient times, can be regarded as a fat difference. However, this has a very big contradiction, according to the reason, Lin Ruhai's family is rich, it is not that lin daiyu cannot afford to raise Lin Daiyu, and Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu's father and daughter have a deep relationship, why does Lin Ruhai want to talk about the young Lin Daiyu and send it to Jia Province?
Many people have noticed Lin Ruhai's "salt patrol royal history" this errand, although Lin Ruhai is in an important position, but the fate is not the spring breeze, Lin Ruhai's eldest son died at the age of three, only a daughter is left, naturally loved and loved, the girl is raised as a boy, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all taught. When Lin Daiyu was five years old, Lin Ruhai's wife Jia Min died, leaving only a daughter who was dependent on each other, and Lin Ruhai still wanted to send her out, presumably with his bitterness.
First, of course, Lin Daiyu is in the Lin family, but also a good life to serve, eat and drink without worry, but also invited a private school, Lin Ruhai has the ability to raise Lin Daiyu, however, Lin Daiyu does not want to raise, but care, what is needed is spiritual comfort, this can only be done by sending Lin Daiyu to Jia Mansion and being cared for by Jia Mu.
Second, in the many marriages of the Dream of the Red Chamber, the love between Jia Min and Lin Ruhai is not a marriage achieved for some purpose, but the result of free love, and the reason why Jia Min can choose her own love and is not bound by feudal etiquette is that Jia Mu loves him.
And Lin Ruhai's marriage also benefits from the fulfillment of Jia Min, after Jia Min's death, Jia Mu must be as dead as ashes, grief is invincible, only by giving Lin Daiyu to Jia Mu to raise, in order to erase the heartbreak caused by Jia Min's death, but also more or less repay Lin Ruhai's guilt for Jia Min's death of Jia Mu.
Third, as Lin Daiyu's biological father, Lin Ruhai does not appear many times in the whole book, and it is worth noting that Lin Ruhai's family is not introduced at all in the book, such as Lin Ruhai's parents, brothers and so on. The Dream of the Red Chamber is described in this way, it has a deep meaning, the Dream of the Red Chamber is about the decline of Jia Province for a hundred years, and the Lin Ruhai family has already declined, and the book introduces: "The ancestor of Lin Ruhai, once attacked the princes, and when he arrived in Ruhai, he had been through the fifth generation. ”
The Lin family is in the hands of Lin Ruhai, already the fifth generation, which happens to be in line with what Mencius said: "The Gentleman's Ze, the Fifth And Beheaded", that is to say, the Lin family is in the hands of Lin Ruhai, the end is doomed to decline, perhaps Lin Ruhai already had a premonition, so he sent Lin Daiyu to the Jia Mansion of "a hundred-footed insect, dead and not stiff".
Fourth, there are many other factors. I have to consider Lin Ruhai's own reasons, Lin Ruhai is old, and no longer marries the intention of continuing the string, after Jia Min left, Lin Ruhai was busy with official business and had no time to take care of Lin Daiyu. There was also Jia Mu, after Jia Mu learned the bad news, she sent people to pick up Lin Daiyu three times and twice.
The above is the reason why Lin Ruhai had to send Lin Daiyu away, Lin Ruhai was old, busy with official duties, Jia Mu's urging, the impact of Jia Min's death, Lin Daiyu's inner loneliness, the need for spiritual comfort, and so on.
Lin Daiyu is the reincarnation of the Daizhu fairy, the main purpose of her reincarnation is to return tears, in any case, Lin Daiyu's entry into the Jia Mansion is the inevitable result, and her life, including her parents Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, is relatively unimportant, so the novel does not introduce her parents too much, and Lin Daiyu's life is an innate attribute, and the name of this attribute is loneliness.
Returning to the question raised in this article, can Lin Ruhai afford Lin Daiyu? In terms of material life, Lin Ruhai's family assets are enough to support Lin Daiyu, and can provide enough servants for Lin Daiyu's command to ensure that Lin Daiyu has no worries about food and clothing.
In terms of spiritual life, Lin Ruhai could not afford to raise Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu's soul belonged to the Grand View Garden.
