What a night
Jia Yucun was really lucky, as if the good fortune of his ancestors for several generations had saved him.
Last time, he went to Beijing to catch the exam without travel expenses, lived in a small temple, met a good man Zhen Shiyin, generously funded him with one hundred taels of silver and two sets of winter clothes. He successfully entered Beijing, passed the entrance examination, and became an official.
This time, he was dismissed from his post, and he caught up with the new policy of the imperial court, and reinstated the deposed officials. He was worried that there was no way out, and Inspector Yan Yushi Lin Ruhai wrote him a letter of recommendation and asked him to go to his brother-in-law Jia Zheng to handle it. Lin Ruhai also noted in the letter the cost of the cost required, and did not need Jia Yucun to spend a penny. Lin Ruhai prepared a boat for Jia Yu Village and sent two children to serve. Jia Yucun followed Jia Fu to pick up Lin Daiyu's big boat and entered Beijing comfortably.
Along the way, Jia Yucun must have wondered what kind of person Lin Ruhai's brother-in-law Jia Zheng was. Jia Yucun has been a magistrate for several years, and he knows many people in the official field, and he has not yet had the opportunity to contact people of Jia Zheng's level. Jia Zheng is now a foreign minister of the Ministry of Works, and his official position is not high, but his family is prominent, and he is the grandson of the Duke of Rongguo.
When he met Jia Zheng, Jia Yucun found that Jia Zheng was really "humble and generous" as Lin Ruhai said, and "not anointed Liang and light eunuchs". Jia Yucun came to visit with a nephew's name post, and did not even take a meeting gift, Jia Zheng helped him handle various procedures after he was busy.
Gently plotted a reinstatement candidate.
The word "gently" has a deep meaning. Jia Yu Village looks like it is difficult to ascend to the heavens, and Jia Zheng, the person, gently completed it.
Jia Yucun must be happy, and subconsciously he will also think that it is precisely because Jia Zheng and others "gently" get it done, there will be many people who have no chance to be "clan nephews" for Jia Fu, and they will run into walls everywhere, their noses are blue and their faces are swollen, they are embarrassed, and they can't do it properly.
He must seize this opportunity well, and in the future, he will often come and go with Jia Fu, continue to be a "clan nephew", it is not easy to be a "clan nephew" for Jia Fu, and there is no shop in this village.
Jia Yu Village has been "waiting for vacancy" for less than two months:
The Jinling Shun tianfu was missing, so it sought to make up for this deficiency.
It seems that the water has come to fruition, but the "waiting vacancy" is not his alone, and the position of "Jinling Shuntianfu" can be easily filled? The key to Jia Yucun's "filling this gap" lies in a "plot" word. With whom? Of course, it is Still Jia Zheng.
Jia Yucun came to Jia Fu, saw what a humble gentleman is, and also saw the great energy of Jia Fu. Unconsciously, he came to a fork in the road, the Bright Avenue on the left, and the Hellfire on the right.
We don't know where he's going.
Although Jia Yu Village often enters and exits Jia Province, it does not go deep into Jia Province. Inside Jia Province, there were female dependents, and he couldn't get in. However, Cao Gong was very eager to introduce us to the internal structure of Jia Province. He wanted to write about a group of "strange women" who were "either love or delusional, or small talents and small kindnesses". The inner house of Jia Fu is where the group of "strange women" live.
The story written by Cao Gong looks very similar to the "Book of Good Talents", but in fact, it is similar and reversed. The stories of those beautiful talents are overhead, and it is said that a certain dynasty and a certain generation can actually be placed in any dynasty. The background of those stories is extremely crude, it is a story made up in the void.
The story that Cao Gong wants to write erasures the times and blurs the location. However, each character will grow on their own, and they will automatically generate stories according to the direction of life.
Their living environment is highly simulated, and Cao Gong has built a 1:1 laboratory according to reality. He wanted to borrow a pair of eyes to show us the internal structure of this laboratory, and he was very satisfied with the laboratory he had built.
Jia Yu Village could not enter the inner house, and we could only borrow Lin Daiyu's eyes to see.
Last time, Lin Daiyu was only six years old. A six-year-old, apparently, doesn't have a strong sense of observation. Lin Daiyu's words and deeds were like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl.
As for this, let's not worry about it, "Dream of the Red Chamber" is an unfinished book, the age loophole, Cao Gong has not had time to make up. We remember that Lin Daiyu was six years old when she entered Jia Province, so she and Baoyu did not avoid inside and outside, eating and living together. However, she looked at Jia Fu from the perspective of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl.
Lin Daiyu's origin is good, there is no second in the whole book. Her ancestors had attacked the Marquis, which was what Jia Mu called the "Zhong Ding Family", her father Lin Ruhai was a TanhuaLang, the leader in the examination hall of the imperial examination, and the Lin family was also the family of Scholars.
On the chain of contempt in the Red Chamber, the children of the "Zhong Ding Family" often look down on the children of the "Zhong Ding Family", and the children of the Shuxiang Family may also look down on the "Zhong Ding" Family in private. Lin Ruhai, no kind of person dared to despise him.
Although Lin Daiyu was born well, the Lin family had fallen, neither the huge ancestral heritage of Jia Fu, nor the bustling population of Jia Fu. She has lived with her father since she can remember, and the inner house of Yamen is usually not spacious. Her family was small and her slaves were few, and when she came to Jia Province, she felt like she had come to a new world.
The long shot unfolds slowly.
The first thing that came into sight were the two large stone lions of Ningguo Mansion, followed by the three beast-headed gates and a dozen or so gatekeepers in gorgeous crowns. You don't have to go inside, just this stone lion, the beast head gate and the janitor can calm the pedestrians. The family can buy two yahuan, hire a cook, a car, a janitor, a miscellaneous errands, six or seven slaves, even if they are rich, there are not as many people as the janitors of the Ningguo Mansion. Moreover, the satin of the doorkeepers shone brightly, and those who came to visit were discouraged before entering the door.
Looking at the plaque on the door, "Ningguo Mansion", it is even more imposing, and this mansion was built by the emperor's order. The owner of this mansion must not be an ordinary person, but a prominent figure in the DPRK.
The exterior of Rongguo mansion is a copy and paste of the exterior of Ningguo mansion.
The camera follows Lin Daiyu's palanquin and enters the West Corner Gate of rongguo mansion. Can you not walk through the door? The gates of the Second Mansion of NingRong, like the gates of the Imperial Palace, are only opened during major events or visits by important people. Everyday life is a corner door. Fortunately, the corner door is also big enough, and there is no problem in and out of the palanquin, car and horse.
Dai Yu's palanquin entered the door and walked to the "place of one shot" (the distance an arrow was shot out), and the palanquin stopped and retreated. "Three or four seventeen- and eighteen-year-old boys with full clothes and hats came up", lifted the palanquin again, and walked to a weeping flower door. The little squatter stopped and retreated.
The weeping flower gate is the dividing line between the outer house and the inner house, and further inside, it is the inner house. The mother-in-law helped Dai Yu get out of the car, helped her to go, walked into the weeping flower door, walked through the scribe veranda, walked through the hall, turned a rosewood shelf marble interstitial screen, passed through three small halls, and finally came to the back in the main room compound.
Hanging on the box room of the mountain veranda are cages of various chirping birds, and on the large steps of the main room sit a few red and green ladies, shouting:
"The old lady just read it, but it happened to come."
As he lifted the curtain, he reported to the house:
"Miss Lin is here."
Woo, finally heard the voice. Since Daiyu entered the city, we hadn't heard a single person speaking, silently, as if it were a group of robots operating.
Spatially: they go from outside the city to the city, from the street to the house, from the outer house to the inner house.
Service personnel: from daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, to the car driver, to the small house.
The locations are changed one by one, the service staff changes one after another, no one directs, but they act in unison, no one gives orders, but they know where to start and where to stop. How did they do it? It can only be trained day in and day out until you are as skilled as a robot. Then there is the full-time person, the responsibility is clear, like the workers on the assembly line, accumulating years and months to do a process, day by day like a machine as accurate.
Confucius criticized Guan Zhong for living in luxury, saying that he:
There are three returns, and the official affairs are not taken.
Guan Zhong's family has several real estates, and the management staff are not part-time, which is too luxurious.
When Confucius came to Jia Fu to see, he knew that the Guan Zhong family was still too frugal, and the division of labor among the slaves in Jia Fu was so detailed that it was outrageous. How many slaves must be enough to divide the work in such detail.
In the era of small farmers, Jaffa already had a modern company management system.
What is Howe? That's it.
In the first episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Cao Gong expressed his disdain for the books of the beautiful talents, believing that they were the same and untrue. Implicitly, he wants to write a different, realistic story. The first two times we didn't see any difference between it and the Book of The Beauty, but from the third time, we saw it.
In the past, the book of good people never dared to write about the rich scene in such detail. Writing details without enough life experience will show your feet.
Next, Cao Gong wrote about Feng Jie's clothing, Madame Wang's interior arrangement, and Lady Xing's interior arrangement, all of which were meticulous, extremely shocking, and somewhat unexpected. Sister Feng's clothes and ornaments were gorgeous beyond the sky, and when she arrived at Madame Wang's house, she suddenly became simple, and the cushions in the house were half old. However, it is not contrary to harmony, and it has an "old home" temperament. Clusters of new, but like upstarts.
The poor imagine the rich and noble home, always full of gold, silver full of land, do not know that "expensive" to a certain extent, always deliberately distance from the "rich". Rich, lucky, a few years of rich, expensive, generations of talent polished out.
How do you distance yourself? It is to show the richness of the spiritual world. Dai Yu turned around in Jia Mansion and didn't find any gold bricks and gold bars, but a rusty copper ding on the main hall. This Ding, I don't know whether it was the Shang Dynasty or the Zhou Dynasty, which king or which prince cast it, experienced two or three thousand years of wind and dust, wolf smoke and fire, and has survived to this day.
It is difficult to buy with money, and most importantly, it represents a spiritual temperament. It was there that the "Zhong Ding House" was put into practice.
From the third time to "Dream of the Red Chamber", we can see its grandeur and know that it is not an ordinary novel.
