The tragic life of Li Gongcai's family of three

Li Wan, whose name is Gong Cai, is the daughter of Li Shouzhong, a wine-offering ceremony official in imperial academy. In addition to Lin Daiyu, a flower-exploring father, there are more noble origins among the twelve women in Jinling. Her father chose Jia Zhu as her husband. He not only took a fancy to Baiyu as a golden family, but also took a fancy to the excellent quality of Jia Zhu itself. Li Shouzhong's 14-year-old resume made him feel worthy of his beautiful daughter.

Jia Zhu entered school at the age of fourteen, which made Jia Zheng full of hope for his future. Because Jia Zheng didn't win the election himself, he didn't rely on his father until he was in his twenties, and the emperor rewarded him with an official. As you can imagine, Jia Zheng is very proud of a son like Jia Zhu. He must often take him out to show off, which may also attract the favor of Li Shouzhong, a wine sacrifice in imperial academy, so he married his only daughter.

Jia Zhu is very good and competitive. Parents let him go to school as soon as he enters school. Parents let him get married as soon as he gets married. Parents let him have children and have sons. According to this development, Li Wan will soon become the wife of Juren and Jinshi and the most respected and envied housewife of Guo Rongfu. Even Jia Lian's daughter-in-law and Baoyu's daughter-in-law are far from being compared.

However, after giving birth to her son, Jia Zhu fell ill and died-Li Wan's luck came to an end.

The decline of the four big families is characterized by the lack of excellent children. In a patriarchal society, the fate of the country and the family depends on the average quality of men.

In the last days of the Jia family, even Baoyu, who was "stupid and afraid of reading articles", was regarded as "slightly hopeful" by Rong Ning, and others can imagine.

Jia Zhu's father, Jia Zheng, worked as an official in the Ministry of Industry for more than 20 years before he was promoted to the semi-level. Mrs. Wang, the mother, is "naive" and "dull" and belongs to the stupid figure among the daughter-in-law. Jia Zhu is certainly not a gifted child, but he managed to get into school at the age of 14. This achievement is inseparable from his parents' strict discipline.

Mrs. Wang said to xiren:

Before your uncle Zhu was in Japan, I didn't know how to manage my son.

It can be seen that Mrs. Wang is strict with discipline, and the maids, including xiren, are also obvious to all.

Lai Mammy told Baoyu about the Jia family's methods of disciplining their sons over the years:

Who hasn't seen your grandfather beaten when he was a child? When I was a child, I was never so fearless as you. And that old man, although naughty, is not as cruel as you, fighting every day. And your precious brother's grandfather in Dongfu, that's a temper that adds fuel to the fire. Say, what son is a thief.

Although Mammy Lai didn't mention Jia Zhu, it's not hard to guess that Jia Zhu grew up like this. The Jia family educated their son mainly by beating and cursing. Jia Zheng's discipline style is also consistent with beating, cursing and personality humiliation. As we can imagine, under the strict discipline of parents, Jia Zhu studied hard and was filial to his parents.

Jia Zhu became a scholar at the age of fourteen and died before he was twenty. During the six years in between, he should have at least one chance to have a provincial examination, and the ambitious Jia Zheng must not let him miss it. However, Xueba Jia Zhu didn't win.

Of course, there are many reasons for not winning: maybe it is luck; Maybe it's poor health; Perhaps the complicated life of having wives and concubines after marriage and becoming a father for the first time made it difficult for young Zhu Jiaju ... In short, Jia Zhu failed the exam. Actually, it's normal to fail the exam. It is not easy to get into the exam, and Jia Zheng himself has never passed it.

However, the smooth start of Jia Zhu made Jia Zheng and his wife expect more from him than usual. Perhaps in the education of children, Jia Zheng and his wife are too lacking in frustration education.

I read a news report in my early years:

A boy who has been a bully since childhood has met all his father's expectations. Tsinghua will go to the United States to study after graduation. His father hopes that he will become a physicist and win the Nobel Prize. But in the United States, he is nearly 30 years old, and his life pressure is too great, and he feels that his future is bleak. He hopes to change his major, find a girlfriend to get married and live an ordinary life. But his father made him insist on realizing his dream of being a scientist, and finally the boy committed suicide.

Although Jia Zhu did not commit suicide, the pressure he faced from his parents was similar. In an era when the monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the father wants the son to die, and the son can't die, Jia Zheng has the absolute right to decide Jia Zhu's life prospect and lifestyle. As the only hope in the family, Jia Zhu has taken on too much pressure. Under the pressure of pulling out seedlings, Jia Zhu fell ill and died.

Because of Jia Zhu's unshirkable responsibility, his death became an untouchable pain for Jia Zheng and his wife. They seldom mentioned Jia Zhu, and the couple became very polite. Jia Zheng prefers to get along with the heartless Aunt Zhao. Mrs. Wang, on the other hand, neglected housework, recited Buddhism every day and lost interest in eating, drinking and having fun. In addition to giving money compensation to Li Wan's mother and son, she seldom cares about and gets close to them at ordinary times-because she is ashamed of Jia Zhu's death, which brings trouble to her daughter-in-law's widowhood, or because she secretly hates her daughter-in-law's life and fails to take good care of her son, which leads to his early death? I'm afraid there are both.

As the only daughter of Li Shouzhong, Li Wan should be no less spoiled, although she was brought up as a woman without talent. Judging from this book, her taste in happiness is not bad at all. Although she is not good at writing poems, she is good at making questions and evaluating them. Her idea of punishing Baoyu for courting Mei was also praised as elegant and interesting. She is also good at arranging flowers. She shrugged a bottle of red berries with beautiful women, elegant and unique.

A failure of 87 TV series is that Li Wan's casting is too old, and she looks much older than you, and her face is too bitter to look good enough. The original book says that Li Wan is a "beautiful young woman". Although widowed and without makeup, she is still a beautiful woman under 30. Li Wan in the TV series looks ordinary, so it is hard for the audience to pity her widow. Although Li Wan wears simple clothes, the material is not cheap, and she is also very particular about food and clothing. At that time, Jia Zhu had to be both talented and handsome to get the favor of imperial academy.

Li Wan once envied that Xifeng had Pinger and sighed:

Miss Feng is the overlord of Chu. It takes these two arms to lift a thousand pounds. If he is not this girl, he must be very considerate! ..... Fung Wong-Nui is also a creature. I think when your uncle Zhu was in Japan, there were never two people. You see, I'm still the one who can't control people, and I see him two miserable every day. So when your uncle Zhu leaves, I will send him away while he is young. If someone can keep it, I have an arm.

Li Wan's words are very strange. Xifeng wants Pinger's arm because she wants to be a housekeeper. As a widow, Li Wan is usually very idle, and she doesn't control her own possessions. Why does she need arms?

In fact, what she means by saying this is that she hates not having a loyal concubine around her.

According to the Jia family rules, when a man is unmarried, two maids are placed at home to serve him, and he can be an aunt after marriage. Zhu Jia once had such two people, probably from Jia or Jia Zheng. Unlike Baoyu's slow birth, Jia Zhu was sexually liberated long ago because of his excellent academic performance. I got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and I had two concubines before.

Women who are rewarded by their elders tend to have higher status. Because of Jia's reward, I don't even care about Pinger's peace. Qingwen can be angry with Baoyu, dare to blame Baochai and dare to close Daiyu's door because it was given by her grandmother.

It is conceivable that in the face of Li Wan, a gentle girl who has no talent in Suntech and is not prepared for battle at home, these two concubines should not be obedient, and they will not be as loyal as Pinger. It is not easy for them not to be angry with Li Wan.

But Li Wan also has her advantages. She is younger and more knowledgeable. Although she entered from the back, she had a high position. In fact, she is Jia Zhu's new sweetheart.

Xue Pan sent Xiangling to pick up Jingui, and Jia Lian sent two old maids to pick up Xifeng. Li Wan is not as ruthless as Jin and Feng, but her forbearance and gentleness have won deep pity and secret love. As a new lover, she is more attractive to Jia Zhu, and as a wife, her love for Jia Zhu is more reasonable. She gave birth to Jia Zhu's only son. So as to gain a stable position.

It can be seen that the correct way of thinking is not to fight with wits, but to bury one's head in having children. Looking at the married women in the book, the ending of having a son is not too bad.

According to the verdict, Li Wan's kindness in the mirror is more worthy of fame in her dreams. It can be seen that Li Wan's life is the most wonderful from beginning to end, with the kindness of "honeymoon with embroidered curtains" at the beginning and the reputation of "pearl crown and phoenix coat" in his later years. Kindness comes from the husband, and fame comes from the son. Everything is beautiful, but it is short-lived. All the curtains and jackets are material, which shows that all the benefits that Li Wan got are real. It can also be seen from the original work that Li Wan paid the most attention to material benefits in his life. Although Li Wan got it, the income was short-lived, and it was only a "hollow reputation" in the end.

Jia Zhu's death forced Li Wan to lead a lifeless life. During lunch break, Jia Lian plays Xifeng next door, and Li Wan can only sleep on the kang. There is no share for her to send palace flowers, and she consciously does not go. I don't usually wear makeup. You Shi came to wash my face, and I could only use ladies' makeup.

Just because Li Wan follows the rules as a widow doesn't mean that she enjoys this bleak lifestyle. When Baoyu was beaten, Mrs. Wang mentioned it, and Li Wan wept. She misses her husband very much. Without her husband, the kindness, fame and vanity of husband and wife are all gone.

Jia Zhu's early death was largely due to the pressure of parents' ambition. Some readers explained that Jia Zhu might be the scapegoat of his father in the political struggle, because Mrs. Xing had taught Jia Lian that "death is the father", probably referring to Jia Zhu. Whatever the reason, Jia Zhu's death is always related to his parents. Li Wan bears a grudge against her in-laws.

Jia's appearance seems to be good for Li Wan, mainly in economy. Xi's account says:

Your monthly salary of twelve taels of silver is twice that of ours. The old lady also said that your widow is unemployed, pitiful and not enough, because a boy adds twelve taels, which is equal to the old lady. I will give you the garden land, and everyone will bear the rent; At the end of the year, you are on top again. Your girl's master and slave are less than ten people, and food and clothing are still in the official position. There are four or five hundred pieces of silver in a year.

Judging from Xifeng's account, it seems that this special preferential treatment for Li Wan was first thought of and put forward by the old lady. Mrs. Wang basically agrees. If Mrs. Jia doesn't mention it, can Mrs. Wang think of it? It's hard to say.

Mrs. Wang is "like a bodhisattva" in everyone's eyes. What is a bodhisattva like? Just like the idol in the temple, you have to ask for everything, just ask for it. You don't want it, she can't figure it out. Because her mind is only on her living son.

Usually, mother-in-law doesn't like widows whose sons die young. When her son dies young, her daughter-in-law will inevitably be suspected of poor care, at least Foucault's accusation is inevitable. However, grandchildren need a daughter-in-law to support them. Besides, people should be respected when they are young, and they must be treated well according to etiquette. Li Wan is not a talented person. The widow wants to live a clean life, which just deprives her of the right to be a housekeeper and let her take her sisters to study and sew.

Li Wan also enjoys this arrangement. She may not like dealing with the complicated housework of a rich and powerful family. Her heart loves beauty and fun. She founded a poetry club with her sisters and invited herself to be the chairman of the poetry club. On the surface, there is not even powder, but she has never missed the banquet of Yee Justin. She also appreciates and protects Xue Baoqin's nostalgic poems with romantic stories as the theme; In Daoxiang Village, where she lives, hundreds of apricot flowers are in full bloom, symbolizing the youthful passion in her heart. On a snowy day, she asked Baoyu to bring the wonderful red plum and put it in the beauty shrug bottle. ...

Although everyone thinks her modesty makes people feel at home, everyone likes to play with her.

However, deep down, Li Wan alienated Jia Jia and these people.

She is frugal on the surface, saves money secretly, and pays attention to the economy and market prices. She knows the price of flowers and spices better than anyone. She withheld the funds donated by Xifeng to the poetry club, but Lu Xueguang's poetry club still asked everyone to raise money. Her meanness shows that she is a pessimist. The early death of her husband made her doubt that there were no so-called quiet years, and all happiness and prosperity might be temporary.

Maybe after Jia's death, Jia Jia can no longer take care of their mother and son; Maybe the Jia family will collapse (even a charming lady like Daiyu Tanchun can see that she will not succeed in the future, let alone a widow Li Wan who is sensitive to the economic situation); Maybe Jia Lan won't grind people in the future; Even, maybe Jia Lan will die ... The only thing in this world that can be kind to Li Wan and never change his face is money!

As for affection, it is nothing. Among Jia's parents, only Jia can accidentally think of rewarding Jia Lan with a bowl of meat. At the end of the year, if Jia Zheng hadn't remembered Jia Lan's absence, no one would have noticed his absence.

Mrs. Wang seldom pays attention to her grandson's daughter-in-law. As soon as she was laid off, she immediately thought of cutting Jia Lan's wet nurse-too, Sanchun was not her own, and it was not appropriate to cut the person. It is more convenient to chop off her son's grandson's servant. After Baoyu had sex with xiren, the wet nurse could still tell him about the prohibition of alcohol. Jia Lan is only in his early teens and has to withdraw his wet nurse. Mrs. Wang is a little unkind to the only son left by her eldest son.

Li Wan has seen all this thoroughly. She has already lost her feelings for the Jia family. Jia Zhu may be the only person Jia really treated her well, and he is dead. So she said, "I don't ask your waste and glory."

Li Wan's attitude also influenced Jia Lan. If grandpa doesn't call, he is not interested in attending the year-end family dinner. At school, Baoyu fought with others. He grabbed Jia Jun and said, "It's none of our business." Jia is only his surname, not his family and relatives. At this point, Jia Lan is similar to Xichun. He just wants to be himself and hopes that others will not drag him down. If others are good, he does not envy or curry favor with them; When others are in trouble, he doesn't sympathize or help.

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng have different ideas and ways of raising Baoyu, but they have a common tacit understanding that it is not appropriate to marry early. This is a lesson learned from Jia Zhu.

There is a tendency of early marriage in Jia family. Jia Zhen is in his thirties and his son is seventeen or eighteen. Xue Pan went to Beijing at the age of fifteen. At this time, his cousin Feng has been married to Jia Lian for two or three years, and Jia Lian's age is obviously not far from that of Feng.

Jia Zhu died when he was less than twenty when he got married and had children. Note that giving birth to a child is not a posthumous child as many readers who don't study hard think. Being expected to study, Jia Zheng relaxed his requirements for private life, and marrying in imperial academy also satisfied his arty psychological needs. Jia Zhu married him when he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and Mrs. Wang gave birth to Baoyu at this time.

Tanchun was born in March of the second year after Baoyu was born. Jia Huan is about one year younger than Tan Chun. He can't be much younger than Baoyu, otherwise he can't compete with Baoyu for the girl's rosy clouds.

Jia Lan is one year younger than Jia Huan at most, because they often live together, and Jia Zheng praises that they study better than Baoyu, so they are only comparable if they are about the same age. Jia Lan may even be older than Jia Huan. When the school accident happened, Jia Huan had not yet gone to school, and Jia Lan was already at school.

After Jia Zhu's death, Jia Zheng and his wife could only pin their hopes on Baoyu, hoping that he would take part in the imperial examination, and Baoyu was not the material, which caused all kinds of unhappiness. Yuan Chun advised his parents to treat Baoyu "if you are not strict, you will not succeed; if you are too strict, you will be in danger", which is what he said. I was afraid that he was worthless, so I had to discipline him, but I was afraid that he was too strict. He died young like Jia Zhu.

Because the attention of Jia's elders is focused on Baoyu, Jia Lan's future depends on Li Wan's plan for him.

Li Wan is keen to attend poetry clubs and banquets in Grand View Garden, but she never takes her son. Of course, there are factors to avoid collecting money here, but the more important reason is that this kind of activity is the affair and leisure of women together, and Jia Lan's efforts are eight-part essay and he was born in the imperial examination. If his interest is led to romantic literature and art because of his participation in poetry clubs, it is really quite different from Li Wan's educational policy.

Baoyu took an active part in the poetry club, mainly because he liked hanging out with girls. If Jia Lan also takes part, he will be influenced by Baoyu, be contaminated with powder, and be tired of sage books, which Li Wan tried to avoid. Li Wan's values are that, like her father, she appreciates a promising young man like Jia Zhu, but does not respect Baoyu in essence. So we saw that Jia Lan would rather play with Jia Huan than Baoyu, probably inspired by his mother.

Jia Lan concentrated on his studies, and Jia Zheng praised him, saying that Baoyu was not as good as him and Jia Huan. Jia Huan will cheat on the maid and frame Baoyu, but Jia Lan never pays attention to these things. Even if he doesn't go to school when he is free, he will "practice riding and shooting" at home and train himself in a civil and military way. He is different from other children, like a small tree with goals, bent on growing taller and nothing can distract him. Who is like a pot of orchids?

In A Dream of Red Mansions, Li Wan said:

Kindness in the mirror is more worthy of fame in the dream. Then why didn't you mention embroidery when you were young? Only by wearing a pearl crown and a phoenix coat can we resist impermanence. Although life is hard to bear being old and poor, it is necessary to accumulate children and grandchildren. Wearing a tassel on his head and a gold seal on his chest; Wei Hehe, Mr. Lu, faint and sad, the yellow road is near. Asking whether ancient generals can still exist is just an empty name and respect for future generations.

"Life can't bear to be old and poor, but also to accumulate children and grandchildren", suggesting that Li Wan later did some immoral things for money, which is another kind of "bad luck" for Suntech. Finally, she got what she deserved.

Xifeng did many evil things, but unexpectedly helped grandma Liu and made her daughter happy. Li Wan has been a "bodhisattva" all his life, but because he was greedy for money for a while, he planted evil reasons, which should have been paid to his only son.

It was probably after the fall of the Jia family that the tree fell apart. Because Li Wan usually saves money secretly, and also saves money in advance with relatives such as Aunt Li, after the family loses, she can take Jia Lan to maintain her life and study with peace of mind. At this time, Jia's relatives appealed to her door. Li Wan and her mother insisted on "don't ask about wealth" and refused to help, so they committed some crimes. Qiaojie may also be sold into the hook. Finally, she had to rely on Granny Liu to save her, and let Banel marry her.

The sequel said that Jia Lan won the prize and bought a pearl-crowned phoenix coat for her mother. In fact, the hairpins and gold seals mentioned in the judgment are not the dresses of imperial women, but the dresses of military commanders. Juren Jinshi is only the first step to enter the officialdom, and it is impossible to "make a noble career" immediately. The tune implies that Jia Lan later made outstanding achievements, so he got ahead and was promoted quickly, to the point where Jue Lu ascended the throne. Unfortunately, the battlefield is unpredictable. On the same day that Li Wan learned of her son's death, Jia Lan applied for the title of Guan Feng Sharpay for her.

"If the ice water is so jealous, it is a joke with others." Jia Zhu studied hard, but his youth died young; Jia Lan is an ambitious young man. Unfortunately, like his father, he was inspirational all his life, but he didn't enjoy any good news, only got a respectable reputation. Li Wan kept it all her life and ended up with nothing.

A family of three, all trying to make progress, but all miserable.

Young people lost their husbands and children in their later years, and Li Wan, who was strong and lonely all her life, still failed to escape the final blow of fate.
