"Dream of the Red Chamber" arranged for Leng Zixing to speak about the Rongguo Mansion before opening the story of the Jia Fu family, which was essentially started by the Duke of Rongning, explained in detail the relationship between the main characters of the five generations of the Jia family in the Second House of Rongning, and focused on the strange event of Baoyu's "birth of jade". Let's take a look at:
First, Leng Zi xingqi people
The 7th time: It turned out that the son-in-law of the Zhou Rui family was Leng Zixing, a friend of Yucun, who recently called a woman to please because he sold antiques and fought a lawsuit with someone.
Leng Zixing is an antique dealer in the capital, and his professional habits make him have the mentality of exploring and hunting curiosity, and he is the son-in-law of Zhou Rui, the housekeeper of the "Four Great Families", his father-in-law Zhou Rui is the supervisor of the Ningguo Mansion in charge of the Spring and Autumn Lease, and the mother-in-law Zhou Rui's daughter-in-law, that is, Zhou Rui's daughter-in-law, is the companion and confidant of Lady Wang of Rongguofu.
His mother-in-law was shrewd and capable, with strong interpersonal skills, and as a member of the Wang family, the Zhou Rui family was also extremely loyal to Wang Xifeng, and the palace flowers were also the first place to go to Sister Feng's room. Therefore, Leng Zi is unique and has the advantage of knowing the background of Jia Fu's insiders.
Leng Zixing's wife and the daughter of the Zhou Rui family cannot be ignored, and she is a woman who has received the true inheritance of her mother. Zhou Rui's daughter who saw her daughter returning to her mother's house on the way to send flowers to the palace, the mother-daughter dialogue knew that this woman was very polite, and her words were also decent, and when waiting for her mother, she first seized the time to ask Jia Mu for peace, and then asked For Peace at Mrs. Wang, attaching great importance to interpersonal relations, of course, compared with her mother's calm and self-assured ability, there is also a little distance, but it is a generous and decent woman.
Speaking about the complex character relationship of the Rongning State Government, Leng Zixing, as a bystander, neither belongs to the Jia Fuzhong people, nor belongs to the completely unrelated outsiders, and it is indeed most appropriate for him to explain, all because of the advantage of the insider background, and the credibility of its information source channels is high.
2. Relationship with Jia Yu Village
Leng Zixing and Jia Yu village are old acquaintances in the capital city, "Yu Village praises this Leng Zixing the most as a person with great skills, and this Zixing borrows the name of Yuwen in Yucun, so the two are the most compatible." ”
Leng Zixing said that the Rongguo Mansion was arising from Jia Yu Village, and the two of them met and learned from each other on the outskirts of Gusu City, drinking and chatting together. The conversation covered:
The first is the geographical location of Jia Province, located in Ningrong Street, Jinling Stone City, the east of the street is NingguoFu, the west of the street is Rongguofu, and the two houses are connected.
The second is the relationship between the five generations of the main characters of Jia Fu, the first generation of Ning Rong's second duke brothers; the second generation of Ning Fu Jia Daihua, Rong Fu Jia Daishan and his wife Shi Taijun; the third generation of Ning Fu Jia Shi is dead, Jia Jing is a monk, Rong Fu Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and his wife Wang's wife, Jia Min, and the third elder sister are dead; the fourth generation of Ning Fu Jia Zhen, Xi Chun, Rong Fu Chang Fang Jia Lian and his wife Wang Xifeng and Yingchun, the second generation of Ning Fu's eldest son Jia Zhu has died, the eldest daughter Yuan Chun, the second son Bao Yu, the third daughter Tan Chun, the third son Jia Huan; the fifth generation of Ning Fu Jia Rong, Rong Fu Jia Lan.
The third is the anecdote of Baoyu's "birth of jade" and its "daughter theory", and The Zhen Baoyu of The Zhen family in Jiangnan and his "daughter theory".
The fourth is the prediction of Baoyu's future and the theory of "benevolence, evil, good and evil".
The conversation between Leng Zixing and Jia Yucun was extremely rich in content, the relationship between the characters was very clear, and the successive raiding officials, Jia Zheng's extra foreign lang, and Jia Lian's donation official Tongzhi also explained clearly, which showed that Leng Zixing had the advantage of knowing the background of Jia Fu in detail, which was a complete "intelligence", and the sensitivity of antique dealers could be seen.
Third, Leng Zixing is a person
When Leng Zixing and Jia Yucun were full of wine and preparing to say goodbye, they met Zhang Rugui, who participated in the revolution of Jia Yucun's colleagues that day, and learned that there was an opportunity to "play the right thing to revive", Leng Zixing immediately offered a plan, asking Jia Yucun to beg Lin Ruhai to turn to the central government to annoy Jia Zheng, and sure enough, Jia Yucun soon became the Ying Tianfu, and Leng Zixing was indeed a figure who was good at grasping information and good at drilling the relationship between the camp and the official field.
But the 7th time, when Leng Zixing was in danger of deporting the defendant Yamen because he was drunk, why didn't he directly ask for help from Jia Yucun, a friend who had become Ying Tianfu, but let his wife return to his mother's house to beg?
This is the characteristic of Leng Zixing, a powerful and speculative antique dealer, and the Jia family's power is far from being comparable to Jia Yu Village.
Under Leng Zixing's calculations, the fruits of his mother-in-law Zhou Rui's family were in the power of the master, and at night they only begged Feng Jie to finish, Leng Zixing's lawsuit turned the danger into a disaster, and his antique trading house also became a smooth channel for Feng Jie's hands to sell antiques and stolen goods.
Of course, as a speculative antique dealer, Leng Zixing did not show great treachery and evil, and his friendship with high-ranking officials and nobles in culture and officialdom was nothing more than to raise the cultural content and value of antiques, which was convenient for collection and easy to sell, in order to make huge profits from them. He spoke in a rambling manner about the Rongguo Mansion, which had its special status, and he was well aware of the traces of the fall of the Jia Province, but the Rongning Guofu was also its treasury, and it was valuable to have the information to be mastered.
