Whose son is Jia Lian in a dream of red mansions? Jia Lian's life is revealed! Interested friends come and have a look!

Anyone who has seen A Dream of Red Mansions may have deep doubts about Jia Lian's life experience. His name is Mr. Lian, which means he is the second child in the family, so there should be a brother on it, but no one knows who his brother is. In addition, Jia Lian's life experience is also rather confusing. Mrs. Xing is not Jia Lian's mother. Although nominally a mother and son, Jia Lian was not born to Mrs. Xing. Whose son is Jia Lian?

one

Jia Lian is the son of Rong Guogong Jia She and the grandson of Shi Taijun's grandmother.

The second time in A Dream of Red Mansions: "Lady Jia died in Yangzhou, while Leng Zixing spoke in the mansion". Having been a tutor for more than a year, I happened to visit the suburbs of Yangzhou one day and met my old friend Leng Zixing, the son-in-law of Zhou Rui, the housekeeper of Beijing Antique House, in a restaurant. Leng Zixing hurriedly let Jia Yucun sit down, and served all the wine and vegetables. They talked and drank slowly and said some other things.

Later, Leng Zixing gave a speech about Jia Fu to Jia Yucun in Beijing, focusing on Jia Baoyu and his four sisters: Yuan Chun, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun.

Jia Yucun asked again, "Just now you said that Gong Zheng had a son named Yu Xian and a weak grandson (Jia Lan) who was left by his eldest son (Jia Zhu). Why can't this old man be forgiven without a son? "

Leng Zixing said, "After the imperial court owned her, her concubine gave birth to another one (Jia Huan). If you ask forgiveness, you also have two sons. The second one is Jia Lian, who is now in his twenties. He is married to the niece of the husband's wife Wang, and has been married for four or five years. Now the husband and wife live in Uncle Zheng's house and help with the housework ... "

Here, Cao Xueqin made it clear through Leng Zixing that Jia Lian was the second son of Jia She. Therefore, the servants of Jia Fu call Jia Lian "Sir Zhong" and Wang Xifeng "Second Grandma". Since Jia Lian is the second child, it seems that there should be a brother on it, but it has never appeared from the beginning to the end of the book. It must have died early.

-Back to the 24th, Jia forgave me for being cold occasionally. Baoyu went to visit his uncle, and suddenly a Jia Cong appeared in Mrs. Xing's room. He is five or six years old and very naughty. From the tone of Mrs. Xing, it was clearly Jia She's concubine and son. But then the little boy asked Cao Xueqin to write Lost: somehow, he became an adult at once (about a year), not Jia She's son.

Through Leng Zixing's "On Fu", we know that the "jade" brothers and sisters of Jia's family, Bao Yu, were all born of Mrs. Wang. Yingchun is a "concubine" (born to Jia She menstruation), and Tanchun and Jia Huan are also "concubines" (born to Jia Zheng's aunt). However, Jia Lian did not specify whether he was a concubine or a concubine.

The third time, Lin Daiyu entered the mansion, and her grandmother, Shi Taijun, made an official appearance with two aunts, Jia Xie's Di Xing and Jia Zheng's Di Wang, which made people feel that Mrs. Xing seemed to be Jia Lian's biological mother.

By the seventy-third time, the secret of Jia Lian's life finally surfaced.

Yingchun's wet nurse stole Yingchun's jewelry (decorated by Lei Jinfeng) and used it for gambling. The old lady caught her on the spot. Welcome, explore and cherish the three sisters. Everyone else is fine except her daughter's servant. Mrs Xing felt very embarrassed, so she went into the Grand View Garden alone and came to Zi Ling to ask Yingchun. Yingchun felt uncomfortable because of the wet nurse's conviction. She suddenly reported that her mother had come and joined in. Serve tea. Mrs. Xing said, "You are so old. You don't even talk about your nanny when she does! Now everyone else is fine. What do you mean? "

Yingchun lowered her head and fumbled in her pocket. She answered for a while, "I told her twice, but she wouldn't listen. I couldn't help it." Besides, she is a mother (wet nurse), only she said mine, I didn't say hers. "

Mrs. Xing was very angry: "Nonsense! You are uncomfortable, she should say; Now that she has broken the law, you should identify yourself as a girl! If she dares to disobey, you should come back to me. Now it is known, but what does this mean! "

Yingchun didn't speak, just bowed her head. Seeing her in such a state, Mrs. Xing sneered, "You were raised by the people in front of the old master (concubines), and the spies here were raised by the people in front of the second master. They all come from the same background. Your mother is ten points better than Aunt Zhao, so you should be better than a spy. Why are you not as good as her?

The more Mrs. Xing said, the more angry she became, and she pointed the finger at her absent son and daughter-in-law. "Lian Sir Zhong, grandma wind, a couple, the canopy. Total * * * such a younger sister, unexpectedly can't take care of! But my childless life is clean and not funny! "

At this point, the reader finally understands that Mrs. Xing has never given birth and Jia Lian is not her own son.

Because China's feudal society pursues polygamy, the unrelated mother-child relationship is slightly as follows-

1. The first mother and illegitimate child. For example, Mrs Wang and Jia Huan in the book. Jia Huan was born to Aunt Zhao, but his nominal mother is Mrs. Wang and his uncle is Wang Ziteng ruled by nine provinces.

2. Ordinary mothers and sons. For example, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou and Jia Baoyu. Zhao and Tuesday are Jia Zheng's concubines and elders, and Baoyu calls them "aunts".

3. Ordinary mother and ordinary son. For example, Aunt Zhou and Jia Huan.

4. Stepmother and stepson. For example, You (the wife of Jia Zhen) and Jia Rong (the son of Jia Zhen) of Ningguo House.

Because Mrs. Xing is Jia She's wife, the second and third relationships mentioned above are ruled out, leaving only the first (biological mother and illegitimate child) or the fourth (stepmother and stepson).

Compared with stepmother and stepson, the relationship between mother and illegitimate child is naturally closer. After all, she watched him born, grew up beside him day by day, and called her "mom" from the beginning, which had a certain emotional foundation. If the first mother has no biological son (never gave birth or only gave birth to a daughter), the relationship will be better, because she will have to rely on him in the future. You can give two examples. Although Emperor Tongzhi was an illegitimate child, he was raised by Empress Ci 'an since childhood, so his care and love far exceeded that of his biological mother Yi Guifei (Cixi), and Cixi often felt distressed that his son was not close to him. Feng Zikai, a famous painter, writer and educator in modern times, was also an "unmarried woman". His first mother (who had never given birth) loved him as much as her biological mother.

The relationship between stepmother and stepson is far less than that between stepmother and illegitimate child. It is not easy to cultivate feelings when the stepmother enters the door and the stepson is a teenager or even an adult. Just be polite and get along well. Of course, there are excellent step-mothers, such as Wang Guiying in Two Tang Fang Sons, who let her own son Qiu Er take the fall for the dead stepson Aquilaria, but such delicious step-mothers are rare. Usually it is a general relationship, such as You Shi and Jia Rong, who are polite and indifferent to each other. Jia Rong doesn't care what she does, even if she runs amok. Generally speaking, most stepmother in this world is not so good. They may be fine at first. After a period of "pretending", they will gradually show their tails. Especially after having their own children, they will abuse their stepsons (daughters) more or less, such as Min Ziqian's stepmother in the story of "flogging the reed flowers" in Twenty-four Filial Pieties.

So, is Mrs. Xing Jia Lian's biological mother or stepmother? We can analyze several plots in the book one by one.

1. Forty-fourth time, "Unexpectedly, Xifeng poured vinegar". On Xifeng's birthday, Jia Lian and Bao Er's daughter-in-law were having an affair in the back room, and Xifeng, who was drunk, was about to go back to her room to change clothes. Hearing that the adulterer praised Pinger, Xi 'an first hit Pinger next to her, kicked the door open, and then hit Bao Er's daughter-in-law. The wronged Pinger also beat Bao Er's wife. When Jia Lian saw Feng coming, he didn't know who it was. Feng beat Bao Er Yi, but he was speechless. Seeing that Pinger started hitting people, she kicked Pinger. Seeing that Pinger was afraid of Jia Lian, Xi-feng came up to fight Pinger again, forcing Pinger to call the Bao family. Pinger was anxious and found a knife to commit suicide. Xi-feng hugged Jia Lian and cried, "You're hurting me. I heard that, but you scared me!" Strangle me! Jia Lian was so angry that he drew his sword from the wall and said, "You don't have to die! I'm really anxious! Kill them all, I'll pay, and everyone will be clean! "

So Xi-feng ran ahead, and Jia Lian ran after her until she came to Grandmother Jia. Jia Lian took advantage of Jia's constant love for him, and his mother and aunt were just as well, deliberately trying to be brave. Mrs. Xing was so angry that she stopped him and scolded him, "You smelly thing! It's getting worse! Here comes the old lady! " He grabbed the sword and shouted, "Get out!"

Mrs. Xing's tone of scolding her son is straightforward and casual. It doesn't sound like a stepmother, but rather like a new mother.

2. Forty-six times, "Yuanyang woman vows to be husband and wife". Jia she, an old goat, took a fancy to Yuanyang, a beautiful girl in the room, and called Mrs. Xing as a matchmaker. As a result, she got a rebuff. Grandmother Jia also scolded Mrs. Xing: "You are obedient and virtuous. This kindness is too much!"

The old lady lost her temper, and Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue and Xifeng played cards with her for a while. It happened that Jia Lian came to see his mother and was scolded by the grandmother. "I don't know if I'm an otologist or a spy! Sneaking around scares me. What dirty seeds! Your daughter-in-law played cards with me, but she was still free for a long time. You go to discuss with Zhao (Bao) and treat your daughter-in-law! " Hearing this, everyone laughed.

When the mother and son left the old lady's house, Jia Lian said, "It's all my grandfather's fault, and now it's all my fault and my daughter-in-law!" Lady Xing scolded, "You unfilial son! I also died for Lao Tzu! Say a few words for nothing, something unexpected will happen. You're not ready yet! I am angry these days, be careful that he hits you! "

Mrs. Xing scolded her son this time, more like a new mother. If the stepmother, especially the butler's stepmother, won't and doesn't need to scold her stepson like this, I have nothing to do with your father and son. As a stepmother, I try my best to intervene or not.

3. Back to the fifty-fifth, "Insulting my parents, I am foolish and idle". Wang Xifeng is ill, and Miss Tanchun is temporarily acting as a domestic agent. It happened that Aunt Zhao's younger brother Zhao Jiguo died. Aunt Zhao thought her daughter had the final say and wanted more money for the funeral expenses. I never felt that the three girls were "business-like" and didn't want to give any more money. So the mother and daughter had a quarrel.

Pinger was there and went back to tell Xifeng. Xi- Feng smiled and said, "Good, good, good! What a nice girl! -It's just that her life is thin and she wasn't born in Mrs. Wang's stomach. " Pinger said with a smile, "Grandma has said some stupid things, so she didn't raise them. Who dares to look down on her and treat her as someone else? " Feng sighed and said, "You don't know, it's all the same whether a girl is married or not, but a girl can't compare with her son. There will be a frivolous person in the future. First, if you want to ask a girl if she is married, most of them will be rejected because they are married. I don't know, as long as people are good, they are a hundred times stronger than those who come out! "

Xifeng seems to have felt the above words. Jia Fu's "Jade" brothers married Jia Zhen and Jia Zhu, both of whom were born, but Jia Lian was not. The Wangs didn't care about this when they got married, but Feng knew Jia Lian's life story (who was her biological mother), so she blurted it out.

4. Back to the seventy-fourth "confusing people to copy the Grand View Garden". Pinger was talking to Xifeng in the room when Jia Lian came in, clapping his hands and sighing, "What a mess! I borrowed it from Yuanyang the day before yesterday (the money in the account was not enough for Jia Mu's eightieth birthday, and Jia Lian quietly begged Yuanyang to steal a box of gold and silver that the old lady could not find for the time being and pawn it for several thousand taels of silver). How did Mrs. Xing know? Just now, my wife called me over and asked me to borrow 220 pieces of silver for next August 15th. I said there was no place to borrow it, and my wife said,' If there is no money, there will be a place to move. If I discuss it with you for nothing, you give me the runaround! You have no place! Where did you get that 1200 silver the day before yesterday? Even the old lady's things are magical. Is it so difficult for you to get two hundred and twenty pieces of silver? Luckily, I didn't tell anyone! I don't think my wife is short of money, so why find someone else! "

This passage shows that Mrs. Xing has "undercover" in her son and daughter-in-law (probably Qiu Tong), so she is well informed. Knowing that Jia Lian was "playing tricks", she naturally felt guilty and wanted a piece of the action. Interestingly, the mother-child relationship has also been branded with money. On the other hand, it shows that Mrs. Xing doesn't treat herself as an outsider at all, and it is only natural that my son and I "borrow" money.

This plot also seems to confirm that she is Jia Lian's first mother (the first mother who raised him since childhood). If you are a stepmother, you will always have scruples. Even if she is greedy for money and wants to rip off, she will not be so righteous.

Judging from the above plot, Yu Qiao thinks that Mrs. Xing is Jia Lian's biological mother. Teacher Liu's view that Mrs. Xing is Jia Lian's stepmother is still open to question.

Jia Lian's biological mother is Jia She's aunt, and like his sister Yingchun's biological mother, she has long died.
