Auntie joke

In A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Zheng is Jia Baoyu's father, and Tso Gong wrote a lot about him, but there are few emotional lines about Jia Zheng. This kind of "writing without writing" reveals more information to our readers, that is, Jia Zheng's relationship with Mrs. Wang is not good, but he gets along well with Aunt Zhao.

Is there any evidence for this conclusion? Yes, back to the seventy-second time, "Wang Xifeng is ashamed to talk about illness, and a prosperous woman marries according to the situation." Aunt Zhao wanted to ask Cai Xia to be Jia Huan's aunt, so she begged Jia Zheng when she was free. The book records:

Jia Yinzheng asked, "What are you busy with? Wait for them to study for another year or two before letting them go; I have taken a fancy to two maids, one with Baoyu and the other with Huan, but I am still young and I am afraid that they will miss the book and wait another year or two. " Aunt Zhao said, "Baoyu has been here for two years, and your master doesn't know?" Hearing this, Jia Zheng quickly asked, "Who gave it to you?" Seventy-two years old

It is clear from this that Mrs. Wang did not tell Jia Zheng that Xiren was Baoyu's prospective aunt. From the thirty-six dollars that Mrs. Wang publicly gave to her prospective aunt xiren every month to the seventy-two dollars that came here, there were thirty-six times. The interval was "two years" as Aunt Zhao said, but Jia Zheng didn't know it. It can be seen that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang strange bedfellows are inseparable.

So why is the relationship between Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao better than that of Mrs. Wang?

As we all know, Jia Zheng is a prude. He looks serious on the outside, but in fact he is arrogant. His nature is not as serious as it seems. The most direct evidence is that Jia Zheng told a joke in the seventy-fifth "The Banquet", but the content was the story of a man licking his wife's feet. Obviously the appearance is very solemn, but the export is such a vulgar joke. This shows that Jia Zheng's nature is not. "

Jia Zheng, because of his strict feudal ethics education, naturally won't be like Jia Lian, but his temperament will not change. Mr. Wang was born in the East China Sea without a white jade bed, and the Dragon King invited the Wangs of King Jinling. Compared with this, Jia Zheng naturally prefers to be with aunt Zhao. In front of such aunt Zhao, Jia completely removed the shackles and became a normal person, smile happily, who could say whatever he wanted. This is not necessarily the real reason why Jia Zheng prefers Aunt Zhao.
