Is Jia Yingchun a wife or a concubine?

For a long time, there has been a debate about whether the second lady Jia was born a wife or a concubine, because there are different versions, and the words "wife" and "concubine" are really similar in glyph. For a time, it seemed a mystery whether Yingchun was an official or a concubine.

In the second chapter of the original text, about the identity of Jia Yingchun, Chen Geng originally had such a passage: Erxiaojie was born to the concubine who forgave her father and her name was Yingchun. JOE is: The book of Meng Fu and the book of Xu Qi, the ex-wife of Forgive Dad, were written by the concubine of Forgive Lord. The Russian library was born by the wife of Master Pardon. My own manuscript and dream manuscript are: forgive my grandfather's daughter, and my father will adopt him as his own daughter.

Some versions say that Yingchun is an official, and some versions say that Yingchun is illegitimate, which seems to make sense. So is Yingchun an official mistress like Cherish Spring, or a daughter born in menstruation like Tanchun?

If nothing else, just look at Yingchun's position in Jiafu. She doesn't look like a daughter. People around her bullied her. Her father only cares about his own pleasure and doesn't ask her. Brother Jia Lian has no time to take care of her. So the cowardly Yingchun became the weakest lady in Jia's family.

When Wang Xifeng praised Xiangling, she once said that almost all the school sisters were inferior to him. Who can be the hostess here? It can only be the second young lady who welcomes the spring. She is the "useless" person in the eyes of Wang Xifeng, the "second firewood" in the eyes of servants, and the master of "I don't know how to poke ten needles".

She doesn't care if the servant gambles with her headdress. Everyone wronged her. She said, "No matter what you do, I don't know." Even Lin Daiyu, who doesn't talk much at ordinary times, can't help but say, "It's really a tiger and a wolf trapped, and we still talk about cause and effect."

From these cases, we can draw the conclusion that Jia Yingchun's position and sense of existence in the Jia family have vanished, which has a lot to do with her personality, but also with her origin, because she is not a monk, but a concubine.

Back to the seventy-third, a conversation between Mrs. Xing and Ying Chun revealed her true identity.

When Mrs. Xing saw him like this, she sneered, "It's always your good brother good sister-in-law, a pair of famous grandmothers, Mr. Lian and Mrs. Feng, who cover the sun and are considerate, but ignore this sister." But whoever falls from me, there is still a saying-it depends on them. Besides, I didn't raise you. Although you were not born with his mother, you were born with his father. You should take care of each other and avoid jokes. I think it is difficult to decide what is happening in the world. You were raised by my master's predecessor, and the detectives here were also raised by my master's predecessor, with the same background. Now that your mother is dead, it seems that your two mothers are only ten times better than Aunt Zhao. You should be better than that detective girl. Why not half as good as him! But this is not the case. This is normal. On the contrary, I have been childless all my life, leading an honest and clean life, and can't make people laugh. "

This passage clearly illustrates the identity of Ying Chun's concubines, and through the mouth of Mrs. Xing, such information can also be obtained. First, Jia Lian and Yingchun were not born to the same mother. Judging from Jia Lian's position in Jiafu, it is obviously right, that is, Jia Lian's mother is Jia She's original wife; Secondly, Yingchun's mother and Tanchun's mother are concubines, and Yingchun's mother was much stronger than Aunt Zhao before her death. Third, as Jia She's second wife, Mrs. Xing entered Jia Fu after Jia Lian's mother died and served Jia She with Ying Chun's mother.

Therefore, it can also be proved that the text introduction of Spring Festival in the second chapter of the original text should be Yu Ji. Looking back, it's easy to understand the existence of Jia Fu Ying Chun.

Many people may ask, why is the Spring Festival not even half as good as the Spring Festival? There are many reasons for this, the most important one is herself. Yingchun has Mrs. Wang's personality mapping in her bones. She cares nothing, and is willing to fast and recite Buddha, and be a dust-bag. Tanchun, on the other hand, knew what she wanted from the beginning and kept trying to get it. Yingchun is content with the status quo, while Tanchun is to change her destiny. So they are also concubines, and the situation in Jiafu is very different.
