Old and Beautiful in the Red Chamber

Chapter 2: Grandpa is not well

The old man really thinks that although he is a bit of a jerk, his life is a bit muddled, and his reputation is not good, but he has been a dude since he was a child, how can he have such high demands on him?He can do it all his life without killing people or setting fires. Buying gold and stone antiques is also your choice-the only stone nerd incident that caused trouble was Jia Yucun's own opinion in order to curry favor. It's really not that he took the initiative to collude with Jia Yucun, but since The family's affairs are done well, and as a rich and powerful old man, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with the fan he got, but he is still a little depressed about being forced to that point in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't become angry and beat his son—it would be very Well, isn't it?

Others think that the old man is lustful and has no scruples in his actions, as if he has ruined many good women. God knows how wronged he is!As a qualified dandy who does not cause trouble, he has always been looking for fun in brothel theaters - no matter how rich and difficult the guests of this kind of people are, so what if they really provoke them?The law doesn't protect cheap people, so what if they are bullied?Just be careful not to kill their admirers and you'll be fine!

The Elder Master never provokes women from good families in his life, and the only objects he would tease were the young lady he bought and his own respectable maid—unfortunately, in that society at that time, no matter who the maid was as the right-hand man, the How big is the backing, and in terms of status, no matter whether the family has a child or a bought maid, if they are in slavery, they are the private property of the master's family. Let alone sleeping, it is only a matter of a few taels of silver if you are killed!The same is true for the bought girl. After the buyout, the deed of sale is signed, and she will not be protected by a "good woman". When she arrives at the master's house, whether she is an aunt or a maid is not considered a master, regardless of life or death!The old man would only drink flowers and wine when he went out, meet his old friends and buy antiques, he would not hook up with girls from good families, and he would not look at anything to sell himself to bury his father and daughter. With the three views at that time, it was really not that bad ╮(╯_╰)╭

The elder knows that he has no talent, and he has never done any serious business. The hereditary title was earned by his ancestors.It's really not that he is a high-ranking general with no talent or something, his general has a false title, a false title, the kind who doesn't need to work for a salary and don't even think about having a serious job!He doesn't have much ability, and if he can't do it as an official, he won't do it. He never thought of being a "general" with real power to command randomly, and he didn't contact his former department. How conscious!He also knows that he has no knowledge of people, and never recommends anyone—although he can't recommend any beautiful jade to the court, at least those like Jia Yucun will not be recommended through him, how cute!

The elder feels that he has many shortcomings, but he still has some advantages for his family——

He is really filial to his mother, even to the point of "foolish filial piety". Although there is no way to win her face, the old mother prefers the second wife and asks him to give up the Rongxi Hall to his younger brother. Go to the corner and become the "good-for-nothing general" and "stable general" known by everyone.With such a name, not to mention being ridiculed outside, but at home, with the atmosphere of the Jia family's servant, how could he not be ridiculed and belittled, how could he feel that he was the head of the family?Obviously the title belongs to him, and he is the head of the Jia family in terms of etiquette, but the old mother prefers the second room, and the Rongguo Mansion is actually headed by the second room. He was obviously upset about the second room's affairs, and occasionally made a small resistance, but which time did he really work hard with his mother and Jia Zhengshi? Always a man!An orderly old and young, the country can not deny that he is the rightful head of the family!

He did not care about his children and never taught them well, but he didn't let them all go. He cared about Jia Lian's heirs, although he only wanted to give his son a woman because of his small brain capacity; The daughter didn't care. To put it bluntly, no one really thought about Yingchun's marriage except him.Does Jia Amnesty have no money?The Jia family has not been completely defeated yet, and the Jia family's wife is still in the palace, so where is the lack of 5000 taels of silver?He casually sold a collection of game consoles for more than 5000 taels!It's just that Jia She felt that Sun Shaozu was a good person, and it happened that his daughter was also worried about getting married, so he just used it as an excuse to rely on him—Jia She didn't think there was any point in spending 5000 taels to the Sun family, who had been favored by the Jia family in the past, Jia She Jia is the savior of the Sun family!What happened to spending some money on him?Is it possible to pay it back?And after getting married, I don't think there is anything wrong with the father-in-law spending some money on the son-in-law-in this way, not only does it not have to pay back the money, but it also solves the daughter's perennial problem.As for Yingchun's unhappy marriage, it can only be said that Jia She has a bad vision, Sun Shaozu's character is not good, and Yingchun is too easy to bully.

After much deliberation, the Elder Master felt that although his character and ability were a bit worse, he was not to the point of heinousness. Although his behavior was a bit worse, and his conscience was indeed ashamed, but according to the "worshipful things" he did It's not high, and it's not too bad, right?Why did it end so bleakly?

This worry and anger haven't come out yet, how come such a weird incident happened again?

His grandfather is 44 this year!His son, Jia Lian, is an unmarried son who is only fifteen years old this year!His niece is still a five-year-old girl who has just had her baby teeth replaced!He also had a young son who was still breastfeeding—oh, it didn’t just pop up, but the concubine Jia Cong, who had never seen it directly before and often forgot his existence, is not yet one year old—no way Well, the education of the Jia family is to take the concubine as a bad son, and it is normal to forget it frequently.

Although, in a dream, he lost his temper and went back to more than ten years ago inexplicably. At this time, he hadn't even formally married that prodigal daughter of the Wang family!His daughter is still a little girl!His house hasn't been ransacked yet!This is a happy thing, but he is really not a lucky person, at most a bit of shit luck.Although the ancestor has merit, it should not be able to reach the level of allowing the gods to return him to...middle age - besides, if the ancestor really has great merit, the gods will not let him be so useless if they try to save the Jia family The incompetent old dude is going to be a big hero, right?The pie falling from the sky is too big, the old man is not generally panicked!Therefore, the Elder is still in disbelief and dare not accept the fact, he only thinks that he is still in a dream.

After more than ten days like this, the Elder Master will feel pain when he pinches himself, and he will still wake up from sleep. It does not look unreal, and finally decides to go out of the house. I have seen that my elder brother Jing has not been used as a monster to make alchemy, and he has never been to various temples. After being beaten to death by the suppression, the Elder Master finally had a bottom line in his mind. After thinking about it at home for several days, the Elder Master thought about it.

Let's talk about the big things later, his master needs to relax himself!

Ordered to go down, eight big sedan chairs were brought, the Elder Master recruited maids and servants, took care of himself, and went out with arrogance, this time heading to the old place, the Elder Master really went to have fun again!And as he went out, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion also breathed a sigh of relief, the old man finally returned to normal!

Leisurely strolling around the antique street, from time to time with sharp eyes picking out good things among the rags, the old man was satisfied with just a handful of silver tickets.The old man is not angry if he can't find it. Occasionally, when he sees something he likes, he doesn't mind at all that the other party comes from a local stall.

Still these things are cute!They won't laugh at others, they won't bully others, they won't blame themselves for all the crimes, they won't exile him, they will only make him happy!

Da'er didn't believe him, Taohua's eyes were full of dissatisfaction with the blocked marriage, the others tried their best to welcome that prodigal woman into the door, and the daughter was stopped by the old lady and couldn't bring her back—even though the old man wanted to One after another, I still haven't figured out how to arrange for my daughter after I take it back—but the old lady just raises her daughter and doesn't teach her, and her daughter is even more useless if she is raised, otherwise she won't even be able to handle it with a man, Tangtang The daughter of the government was tortured to death!The youngest son was even more speechless. He had never paid attention to this guy before, and even forgot to give birth to this baby for a while... It is so rare that I want to see him, and I plan to raise a promising son, but I didn't expect him to be still breastfeeding. Well, when I saw the old man, I was so scared that I cried... The old man said he was very upset.

╮(╯▽╰)╭Forget it, life is only a few decades, so let's enjoy ourselves in time~ The old man has been out of business for a few days, those little ladies don't forget him!

Just by brushing your face, you can win the charm of the old bustard who still has a charm. He warmly welcomes you to greet him, and also attracts a bunch of young and beautiful girls to serve him attentively. The feeling is not so good~

After admiring the beauties, the old man in a good mood did not stay for the night life, he changed his way to a famous restaurant in the capital and ate a lot of hazelnuts, and then returned to Jia's mansion leisurely.

When I got home, I was served attentively again. The old lady was still waiting and watching, and Jia She had already asked Jia She not to come to greet her. Although the elder's status was not high at home, he still said that he was the same in the big house. There were maids and servants waiting on him along the way. Mrs. Xing was also busy before and after to make a sense of presence, even if the daughter-in-law suspected that she would drift away, Jia Lian, who was not in a beautiful mood, had to come to greet her out of filial piety, and was scolded by his father by the way.

There was a lot of noise, the old man waved away Mrs. Xing and all the aunts and girls, and decided to sleep by himself today. He didn't want to face these unconscionable women for the time being. None (the old man will not feel that he is not worthy of those women's infatuation, he only thinks that these women are not good)!

Seeing that everyone was gone, the elder touched the sweat on his head and summoned out the so-called "system store" that had troubled him for more than a month.

The author has something to say:

The old master reborn before the opening of a dream of Red Mansions

At that time, it was scorching summer and the hot summer was around the end of May in the lunar calendar. The time when Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion was like this:

Hot summer and eternal day (Zhen Shiyin's dream) - Mid-Autumn Festival (Jia Yucun explained the year of spring, so he became an official in Jia Yucun's imperial examination in the second year) - Zhen Shiyin lost her daughter in the second year of Lantern Festival - her family was burned to her father-in-law's house on March [-] [about ten months later]

It is said in the book that Zhen Shiyin reluctantly supported Yue’s family for a year or two before becoming a monk [1-2 years]

When Jia Yucun came to Jinling to become an official, Zhen Shiyin had been a monk for a year or two [1-2 years]

Jia Yucun has been an official for less than a year and was imprisoned [several months]

Jia Yucun taught at Daiyu's home for a period of time, when Daiyu was five years old, and taught until she was six years old [1 year]

Her mother died of illness at the age of six, and her husband kept filial piety for his wife for a year. If Lin Ruhai wanted to marry again, it would only take one year later. Mother Jia would definitely not let Lin Daiyu fall into the hands of a possible stepmother, and she would definitely be taken away within a year, but Dai Yu must at least observe filial piety for a hundred days, plus the time along the way, and enter Jia's mansion at the age of seven [several months to one year]

It took about 5 to 8 years from the beginning of the article to when Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion. I counted it as five years, which means that the old man was reborn more than five years ago when Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion.

At this time everyone's age

贾珠19(明年科举不行死了)元春16(14岁时入宫)贾琏凤姐15秦可卿14贾蓉11宝钗迎春5宝玉香菱秦钟3黛玉探春2惜春贾环贾琮1贾兰腹中贾敬47贾赦44贾政39林如海37贾敏33贾珍29
