Although Jia Lian already had a beautiful concubine Wang Xifeng and Ping'er, she still couldn't help but be hungry, and not only did she take the beautiful You Erjie and Qiu Tong as concubines, but also had an affair with the slave's daughter-in-law Duo Girl and Bao Er's family.
Some people will say that Jia Lian's character is inferior! Not really. Jia Lian is a decent gentleman, which can be known from his attitude towards his cousin Lin Daiyu.
How beautiful is Lin Daiyu? When idle, it is like a flower shining on the water, and the action is like a weak willow supporting the wind. Jia Baoyu Qualin Daiyu is a fairy-like sister. Xue Pan saw Lin Daiyu and had already collapsed there. And the slave woman sent by Xue Baochao to deliver something to Lin Daiyu also praised Lin Daiyu as beautiful as a heavenly immortal.
From beginning to end, Jia Lian never had a heart for Lin Daiyu, the beauty of the national color, even if she sent Lin Daiyu home to deal with the funeral of her father Lin Ruhai.
Near the water tower platform first got the moon, Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu walked all the way for so many days, Lin Daiyu is a young girl, has not gone through the world. Jia Lian did not take advantage of Lin Daiyu's young innocence and lack of social experience to hook up with her.
In Jia Lian's heart, he understands what women can hook up and what women can't hook up. For the unmarried aristocratic maidens of good character, he never moved his mind, did not spoil the honor of people, and remembered the principle of "rabbits do not eat nest grass". And for the slave daughter-in-law who has bad moral character, he has an improper relationship with the other party, and he still gives money to make the other party profitable.
The water is clear and there is no fish, and there is no perfect person in the world. Among the noble princes, Jia Lian was still a prince of good moral character. He was a good man, principled and ethical.
