In addition to the big family of Jia Province, Cao Xueqin also described many small families. Although these small families, whether in terms of wealth or people, cannot be compared with Jia Fu, their fate actually more or less reflects the Jia family.
The Zhen family in Jiangnan was displaced after a fire, and the family of three was on each side of the day, which was a precursor to the Jia family tree falling and scattering; the Qin family in the capital, in just two months, all three members of the family were killed, which was also a precursor to the Jia family's "falling into a white expanse of land and really clean".
As the daughter of the Qin family, it does not matter whether Qin Keqing died of illness or "obscenely mourned Tianxiang Lou", but after Qin Keqing's death, her father and brother also died in Huangquan, which is one of the things that is extremely frightening in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
After Qin Keqing's death, Jia Zhen stopped in Huifang Garden for 7749 days and invited countless monks to overdo Qin Keqing. However, no one expected that Qin Keqing's death would actually uncover the Pandora's box of the destruction of the Qin family. Forty-nine days later, after Qin Keqing's coffin was sent to the Tiezhan Temple, her younger brother Qin Zhong was not only not sad about his sister's death, but had a lingering affair with the little nun of the Mantou Nunnery. It was precisely because of this incident that Qin Zhong contracted wind chill and fell ill when he returned home.
Soon, qin zhong and zhi'er's affairs were discovered by his father Qin Ye, who beat qin zhong up, "he was so angry that he had an old illness attack, and he cried out for three or five days"; a few days after Qin Ye's time, Qin Zhong died a few days later because of "infinite remorse and pain, and added many symptoms", and a few days later, he also died in Huangquan.
From the death of Qin Keqing to the death of Qin Zhong, it was only about two months. This is probably the fastest disappearing family in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Two months ago, the daughter of this family was still a young grandmother in the Ningguo Mansion, the father was still a small official eunuch, and the son was also alive and jumping; two months later, the family completely withdrew from the stage of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and went to receive a box lunch.
Many readers know that although Qin Keqing is the earliest "golden noodle" who passed away, she has an extremely important role in "Dream of the Red Chamber", but some readers ignore that the demise of the Qin family is also of extremely important significance to Jia Fu in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Qin Keqing was in the Ningguo Mansion, bearing the burden of humiliation for the sake of his mother's family behind him, and in order to give his brother a chance to enter the academy to study, he arranged for him to meet Jia Baoyu, like Jia Yuanchun for the Sake of the Jia family, in the palace to endure humiliation and burden?
Although Qin Keqing made a lot of efforts for her mother's family, her brother did not argue, entered the school and did not study well, only cared about making friends with those good-looking students, flirting with the little nuns in the Rongguo Mansion, like those indisputable men in the Jia family, not cherishing the opportunities that Jia Yuanchun won for them, and doing everything for fun every day?
Jia Mu always made a big fuss about the children and grandchildren in the family, but she had no choice; like Qin Ye who was angry because of Qin Zhong and Zhi'er' affairs, she was sick?
The family that is more like the Jia family than the Zhen family in Jiangnan is the Qin family. After Qin Keqing's illness and death, the Qin family disappeared in just two months, which is a rehearsal for the complete demise of the Jia family in a very short period of time after Jia Yuanchun died of illness in the palace. This is the most difficult secret in Jia Province.
