The reason why Jia Yucun in "Dream of Red Mansions" was able to leave the gourd temple and live in the prefect's mansion was completely dependent on the fifty taels of silver and two winter clothes given to him by Zhen Shiyin, so that he was able to enter Beijing to catch the exam.
However, in less than two years, Jia Yucun was dismissed from his post and demoted to a commoner because he was reported by his boss for "corrupting the law".
However, at this time, Jia Yu Village, which had accumulated a certain amount of savings, did not have a "mid-life crisis", but traveled everywhere to play in the mountains and rivers, and it has been two years since he played in such a chic way.
One day, Jia Yucun was supported by nobles again, restored to the official position of "prefect", no longer sent people under the fence, and lived in the mansion again:
At that time, Jia Zheng had already read his brother-in-law's book and hurriedly asked someone to meet. Seeing that Yucun is handsome and has a good speech, and this Jia Zheng likes to read the book the most, a corporal who is a virtuous corporal, saves the drowning and helps the needy, and has a great ancestral style; and he is also a compliment from his sister-in-law, so he treats Yucun preferentially, which is even more different. I tried my best to help, and on the day of the inscription, I gently sought a reinstatement candidate. In less than two months, Jinling responded to the vacancy of Tianfu, so he sought to fill this vacancy. Yucun resigned from Jia Zheng and went to take office at a later date.
See, it was Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion, who asked someone to find a relationship to help Jia Yucun do the "reinstatement" registration first, and after waiting for less than two months, Jia Yucun became the prefect again.
And on the day he took office, he also went to Jia Zheng to thank him. This is in stark contrast to Zhen Shiyin who gave him fifty taels of silver before, but he didn't say goodbye before dawn,
I have to say that the character of this Jia Yu Village is worrying, this is also the character of his "wall grass", whoever gives him the greatest benefit, he will be more respectful to whom, how can he be grateful for the original "fifty taels"!
However, Jia Zheng did not help him because Jia Yucun also had the surname "Jia", and the two had the same surname. For this reason, Leng Zixing can testify:
Zixing said: "In the Jia Mansion of Rongguo Mansion, it will not insult the lintel of Mr. Yucun smiled: "It turned out to be his house." If you talk about it, there are many people in the Han tribe. If you talk about the glory of the country, it is the same spectrum, but his glory, we are inconvenient to climb, so far it is more and more difficult to recognize. ”
Seeing it, Leng Zixing told Jia Yucun that Rongguofu was also surnamed Jia, and the implication was to let Jia Yucun go to Jia Zheng, but Jia Yucun had "self-knowledge" and did not dare to climb the high branches, even if he went, no one would pay attention to him.
However, Jia Yucun went to Rongguo Mansion to join Jia Zheng. Obviously, there is someone among them who "matchmaking", and that person is Lin Ruhai, who is Jia Zheng's brother-in-law and Lin Daiyu's father.
In other words, Jia Zheng read Lin Ruhaixin's evaluation of Jia Yu Village, so he made a "favor to the water" to help Jia Yu Village.
It's not entirely because of Jia Zheng's character of "whoever is in danger, he will help whom", Jia Yucun himself said that the same person surnamed Jia lives in poverty and has a lot of old clothes.
In addition, Jia Yucun's first good impression on Jia Zheng only accounted for a small number of factors, but Jia Yucun was very good at seizing opportunities and expressing himself. He understands the truth of "three points of talent, seven points of dress",
It is very important to make a good impression and dress appropriately and be full of spirit, so before going to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia Zheng, he also tidied up his clothes again.
When he saw Jia Zheng, he was humble and polite, and said a few good words about how Lin Ruhai praised Jia Zheng, which is called praising the other party through the mouth of the other party's acquaintances, and naturally Jia Zheng will not think that Jia Yucun is flattering and "patting the horse".
On the contrary, he thought that Jia Yucun was good at talking, and there was no gap between this and what his brother-in-law Lin Ruhai introduced in Haixin, so he made up his mind to help Jia Yucun reinstate.
You must know that Jia Yucun was dismissed from his post at that time, and he had a "criminal record" on his body, and Lin Ruhai was appointed as a salt patrol in the imperial history.
It turns out that the ancestor of this forest like the sea once attacked the liehou, and now it has been five generations to the sea.
See, how could Lin Ruhai, who was from such a prominent background, "go along with the same stream" as a dismissed person like Jia Yucun? There must be something strange in this, it turns out that this Jia Yucun also met Lin Ruhai through a friend's introduction:
Fortunately, there are two old friends, who also live in this realm, because they heard that Luan Zheng wanted to hire a Xibin, Yucun entrusted their friends to seek to enter, and made a plan to settle down.
See, Jia Yucun played all day long, and there was not much money on his body, so it was inconvenient to continue to live in a hotel, so he wanted to find something to do, so that he would not have to worry about food and accommodation, just one day he heard that Lin Ruhai's family was going to invite a teacher, so he asked a good friend from the local area to introduce him,
In this way, Jia Yucun went to Lin Ruhai's house and became Lin Daiyu's tutor, teaching Lin Daiyu to read and read all day long, for nearly two years, in the past two years, Jia Yucun is also dedicated and dedicated, and is a teacher, so he has won Lin Ruhai's admiration and trust.
It is another year's situation, who knows that Mrs. Jia, the mother of the female reader, died of illness, and the female reader served the soup and served medicine, and mourned the mourning, so she was about to leave the museum again. Lin Ruhai wanted to let the female guard study, so he left him behind.
See, after Jia Yucun worked as a tutor for a year, because Lin Daiyu's mother Jia Min died of illness, Lin Daiyu had to mourn, so Jia Yucun wanted to resign and find another job.
However, Lin Ruhai broke the old concept and thought that Daiyu could read while mourning, which was not in conflict. So he asked Jia Yucun to stay and continue to be Daiyu's tutor, which is obviously because of Jia Yucun's knowledge and talent.
Otherwise, Lin Ruhai would not insist on keeping him. What's more, Lin Ruhai's academic achievements are higher than those of Jia Yucun,
This Lin Ruhai's surname is Lin Minghai, and the word is like the sea, which is a former detective, and has now been promoted to the doctor of Lantai Temple.
See, Lin Ruhai is the third place winner of the first class in the last imperial examination, that is, Tanhua, if he wins the first place in the examination, he will be the champion, here, there is no need to explain Lin Ruhai's knowledge and talent.
In addition, Lin Daiyu does not only read books such as "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Legend of the West Chamber", which have nothing to do with career economics, she also reads "Four Books".
Jia Muyin asked Daiyu what book she was reading. Daiyu said: "I just read the "Four Books". ”
Did you see it, Jia's mother, that is, Lin Daiyu's grandmother, she asked Daiyu what kind of book she was reading? Daiyu said that she had just read the "Four Books", and it was obvious that this was the tutor Jia Yucun who instructed Daiyu to read the "Four Books", which is also the duty of a teacher.
Therefore, it was Jia Yucun's professionalism of "being a teacher" that moved Lin Ruhai, or it was an important factor in gaining Lin Ruhai's trust, so that later, Jia Yucun went to trouble Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai was willing to help Jia Yucun sincerely.
However, it was because someone first told Jia Yucun that the imperial court had a policy of "reactivating" the dismissed old officials, if there was no such policy, Lin Ruhai would not have helped, and Jia Yucun did not dare to speak, this is common sense.
It was Zhang Rugui, who participated in the revolution of his colleagues in the case that day. He was originally from this place, and he lived after the revolution, and now he inquired about the letter of the old man, so he looked around for a way, and suddenly met Yucun, so he was busy saying goodbye.
See, it's a person named Zhang Rugui, who was originally a colleague of Jia Yucun, and was prosecuted and exposed together, and suddenly heard that the imperial court had approved the reappointment of old officials, so Zhang Rugui looked for relationships everywhere,
happened to meet Jia Yucun, so he told this happy event. Jia Yucun was naturally very happy, but because there was no way, he suddenly had a sad face, and he was glad that someone had another idea for him:
When Leng Zixing heard this, he hurriedly offered a plan, making Yucun Yang annoy Lin Ruhai, and turn to Duzhong to annoy Jia Zheng.
Seeing it, it was Leng Zixing who asked Jia Yucun to tell Lin Ruhai about this happy event, and then troubled Lin Ruhai to intercede with Jia Zheng, so that he would be reused, and there would be great hope.
However, Jia Yucun was also very cautious, afraid that the information said by his former colleague Zhang Rugui would be inaccurate, and when the time came, he would make a joke in front of Lin Ruhai, mistakenly thinking that he Jia Yucun wanted to be an official and wanted to go crazy, so he reconfirmed the reliability of the information:
Yucun took his intention and said goodbye, returned to the museum, and was busy looking for the mansion to see if it was true. The next day, the plan was like a sea.
Seeing it, after listening to Leng Zixing's plan, this Jia Yucun returned to Lin Ruhai's house (he is Daiyu's tutor and lives in Lin Ruhai's house), and hurriedly looked for the official newspaper recently,
After reading it carefully, I found that the information Zhang Rugui said was true and reliable. In order to show his pattern of "not being happy with things", it wasn't until the next day that Jia Yucun went to tell Lin Ruhai about it.
Sure enough, Jia Yucun behaved very calmly, Lin Ruhai actually agreed to help, and promised to do things 100% well:
At this moment, I am thinking about the grace of being disciplined and taught, and I have not been rewarded, so when I encounter this opportunity, how can I not do my best to repay it?
See, when Jia Yucun explained things to Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai also took into account the dignity of Jia Yucun, saying that he was very grateful to him for teaching his children to read for more than a year.
I don't charge tuition, I don't want to go, I think about how to repay this "professor" all day long, and now I happen to encounter this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I will do my best to help. Obviously, Jia Yucun was very comfortable when he heard Lin Ruhai's words,
Obviously, he has a request for the other party, but the other party is so tolerant and generous, thinking about his own dignity. Immediately, Lin Ruhai wrote a letter to Jia Zheng in front of Jia Yucun to recommend:
But don't worry. The younger brother has been pre-planned, and so far he has revised a letter of recommendation and entrusted it to his brother-in-law, so as to cooperate in circumstance, so as to fulfill his brother's contempt. That is, the example of all expenses, the younger brother has already made it clear in the letter of the brother-in-law, and he does not bother to respect the elder brother.
Seeing it, Lin Ruhai told Jia Yucun to rest assured, and also explained in the letter that Jia Zheng must get things done, and the cost of favors required has also been explained, Lin Ruhai bears all of it, and asks Jia Yucun to go to Jia Zheng with peace of mind.
Jia Yucun was extremely excited when he saw Lin Ruhai doing this, and bent down 90 degrees to Lin Ruhai, saying the word "thank you" non-stop.
Yucun thanked him for his compliments, and asked again: "I don't know what kind of position Lord Lingqin lives in now?" I am afraid that I will be sloppy in my later life, and I dare not rush into the capital to do it." Ruhai said with a smile: "Brother Ouchi is now holding the position of a first-class general, with a name of pardon and a word of grace." The second brother-in-law is a famous politician, the word is stored in Zhou, and he is currently a member of the Ministry of Labor. He is humble and kind, has the legacy of his grandfather, and is not a light and thin eunuch, so his brother sent a letter to him. ”
Seeing it, Jia Yucun didn't forget to ask Lin Ruhai, what is the position of the relatives in Rongguo's mansion now, the reason is to avoid the wrong name when the time comes, and make people mistakenly think that they don't understand etiquette, so that they will lose your Lin Ruhai's face, saying that they are careless in making friends.
After Lin Ruhai heard what Jia Yucun meant, he told that his brother-in-law Jia Yu was a first-class general, and his brother-in-law Jia Zheng was a member of the Ministry of Works, and he was very humble and kind, not the kind of frivolous and arrogant eunuch who was greedy for money.
Lin Ruhai's implication is that you Jia Yucun can rest assured that your "reinstatement" will definitely be done. Sure enough, it was precisely because Jia Yucun "figured out" Jia Yu,
After Jia Zheng's status, when he arrived in Jiafu, he still maintained the character of a humble gentleman who was a scholar, and he didn't dare to have the slightest frivolity in every word, and finally Jia Yucun avoided the "mid-life crisis", re-appointed as the prefect, and lived in a mansion.
However, many years later, Jia Yucun brought people to raid Jia's mansion, and Jia Yu and Jia Zheng became prisoners.
