Luo Yin rises high in the hall and diverts water. Dung is precious and not luxurious. The alleys are full of basils, who knows that there is a face.
- "The Rich Man in Qin"
Who is the most blessed person in "Dream of Red Mansions"? If I say it's Jia Mu, there should be no objection, right?
Jia Mu is the eldest patriarch in the two mansions of Ning and Rong, and people call her "Old Lady", "Old Ancestor", and "Old Lady Shi". Among the four major families in "Talisman", there is a "three hundred miles of Afang Palace, can not live in Jinling a history", Jia mother is the miss of the Shihou family of the Jinling clan, married to Jia Daishan, the eldest son of Jia Yuan, the Duke of Rongguo, and has two sons and daughters such as Jia Xun and Jia Zheng. Jia Baoyu is her grandson, Lin Daiyu is her granddaughter, and Shi Xiangyun is her niece.
Jia Mu was blessed with a long life and enjoyed the glory and wealth of the world. She has a full house of sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, granddaughters, great-granddaughters, and great-granddaughters-in-law to honor her; There are countless unrecognizable maids, mothers-in-law, and small houses who serve her. In particular, Wang Xifeng, the granddaughter-in-law of the Zhangjia family, tried in every possible way to be filial to her and cater to her, so that Jia Mu could enjoy her. The 80th birthday of Jia Mu is the third day of the first month of August, and from the 28th of July, the banquet will be held in Rong and Ningfu until the fifth day of the first month of August, a full seven days. Lively and luxurious, not compared with the family celebrations in the past, showing the honor of this lady. Jia Mu is a noble lady of a family of poetry and grace, she holds the prestige in the family, strict gifts, flexible subsections, universal power, compassion for the poor, and is a graceful and noble, tolerant and generous, amiable, and respected elder image.
However, Jia's mother was born in a prosperous era, not in the last days, and can be called the most blessed person in Jiafu. However, for the decline of Jia House, Jia Mu also has a certain responsibility.
Be hedonistic. Jia Mu is very particular about pomp and circumstance. When Daiyu first entered Rongfu, she ate for the first time and saw it: "Li's holding rice, Xifeng Anjiao, Mrs. Wang entering the soup." Jia Mu sat alone on the front of the bed, with four empty chairs on either side,...... The maid next to her insists on dust, gargling, and napkins. Li and Feng stood next to the case. Although there were many daughters-in-law and maids waiting outside, they did not even hear a cough. The pomp and circumstance of Jia's mother's diet is still a sharp point in what sister-in-law Liu said: "The big kitchen prepares the old lady's meal, writes down all the dishes and vegetables in the world with water cards, and eats them every day, and eats until a month." This can be regarded as extremely exquisite, looking at this meaning to eat for a month is not necessarily different, it has simply become a full banquet. No wonder Aunt Xue said, "You guys are all desperate." Jia Mu is so extravagant, it is inevitable that it can also reflect the decline of Jia House.
You can't see the little things. The wind starts at the end of Qingping. Yuanchun Province was the heyday of Jia Province, but Yuan Chun twice mentioned that Jia Fu was too extravagant. The first time was when I just returned to Jia House, I saw that the inside and outside of this garden were so luxurious in the sedan car, and silently sighed that the luxury was excessive. The second time was when the provincial relatives were about to end and prepare to return to Luan: "If the heavenly grace of tomorrow is still promised to return to the province, you must not be so extravagant." And Jia Xun is lustful, Jia Jing is good, the grandchildren of the Jia family do not seek advancement, blindly play, these are signs of decay, Jia mother as the highest parent did not stop it, but only protected and connived, which also accelerated the fall of the Jia family.
Defend feudal morality. Jia Mu is extremely fond of Baoyu and cherishes this grandson as "heart and liver" and "like the root of life". She disagreed with Jia Zheng's strict discipline. Baoyu did not dare to see Jia Zheng, so she said, "It doesn't matter, there is me." Jia Zheng once hit Baoyu, and Jia Mu was furious, and she was going back to her hometown in Jinling right now. As a result, Jia Zheng had to kowtow to his mother to admit his mistake. Therefore, under the protection of Jia's mother, Baoyu was able to live a peaceful and stable life with her sisters in the Grand View Garden. But in Baodai's love, Jia Mu uncharacteristically supported Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, regardless of Baoyu's madness, and used the way of stealing beams for pillars, Ming Li said that it was Daiyu who let Baoyu marry, but it was Baochi who entered the cave room, forcing Baoyu to combine with Xue Baochu, breaking Baodai's love and strangling Daiyu's life.
Although Jia Mu is not at the helm of Jia House, but like the Empress Dowager, she has a decisive voice in the family, and when it is critical, her words can influence the direction of things, so on issues such as the rise and fall of the family, Jia Mu should make a difference, but unfortunately, Jia Mu who is high above cannot raise the scalpel of revolution to herself. From this concept, Jia Mu represents a conservative force, and she is also sitting on the sinking ship and unable to save herself.
Therefore, giving Jia Mu a bad review is not disrespectful to the elderly!
