Why are there so many farce in A Dream of Red Mansions around the eightieth birthday of Jia Mu?

Jia's eightieth birthday is naturally a struggle for the Jia family, one for filial piety, the other for face, and the third for gathering contacts. Some people don't come often. Only on this occasion do they have to come. For example, Nan 'an doesn't have much contact with Jia's family, unlike in Beijing, but Jia has to appear on his birthday. This is an opportunity to get in touch with the top.

But holding such a birthday party is not a day's work. Ningfu was naturally involved, but it was mainly about Fu Rong. It is impossible for Ningfu to pay. After all, the two houses of Rong Ning are not a family, but a family.

So Fu Rong is bleeding again.

And the income is decreasing year by year.

Don't mention others, just say that the second miss Wang, Mrs. Wang, has no money and gave a gift to her mother-in-law. This was the year when my sister conveniently gave granny Liu one hundred and twenty. It is known that in recent years, the situation of Jia Fu, the lady can't save any money, so it is estimated that she is a subsidy.

Mrs. Wang is extremely anxious.

It was Xifeng's idea to pawn a few hundred taels of silver and give it to the unnecessary copper men upstairs and behind the house. This is a ceremony to hide shame. Mrs. Wang's gift should not be too insignificant for her mother-in-law's birthday. Make people laugh.

Mrs. Wang is relieved, and it is not easy for her.

You Shi discovered the management confusion and sent a maid to remind her that the garden gate was not closed. On the contrary, there was a conflict between the two sides, so Zhou Rui appeared, and Feng let the birthday be handled, but Zhou Rui's wife immediately tied up the bitch, so Mrs. Xing stood up to speak for her in-laws, and Mrs. Xing publicly embarrassed Feng, saying that Feng abused his servants during his birthday and Feng was punished.

There are contradictions between master and servant, women in charge of the garden gate, contempt for the mistress of Ningfu, and conflicts between Xifeng and Mrs. Xing's mother-in-law.

Several contradictions are intertwined, and one thing leads to countless details.

At this point, Si Qi actually bribed the woman at the gate of the garden, let her lover enter the garden for a private meeting, and met Yuanyang. However, Siqi's lover ran away and Siqi was ill, which all showed that the management in the park was chaotic. The keeper of the garden gate dares to let foreign men into the garden for money. I think the garden is full of lovely girls like Daiyu, Baochai and Xiangyun in the third spring. What can I do if there is a rumor?

The lock in the garden is related to many things. At this time, everything is for profit.

Jia Mu told many stories on this birthday.

At this point, Jia has not realized this. It would be even more shocking if she knew.

The decline of the violent family and Jiafu is already the tip of the iceberg.
