Tell me about Leng Zixing's speech at Guo Rong Tower.

The whole Dream of Red Mansions tells the story of Jia family, so this time I will introduce this family to you through Leng Zixing's mouth. In the second episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Mrs. Jia died in Yangzhou City, and Leng Zixing gave a speech in the mansion.

Last time we said that our family had collapsed, and we really became monks. He left his wife and three maids to rely on her family and do some needlework to make a living. A few years passed quickly. One day, a girl named Jiao Xing met her new grandfather while selling thread in the street. In the evening, she went to Su Feng's house on business and knocked at the door for questioning. When Su Feng heard that the government was coming, he was very excited and still went out with a smile. The government people took him away. On the second watch that day, I saw Feng Sufang come back. Su Feng said that he was looking for his new great-grandfather, Jia Yucun. When Jia Yucun went out, he happened to see the girl he had seen in those years, that is, the girl we talked about twice before. So I thought the Zhen family had moved here, so I called them in for questioning. So he told his son-in-law, and Jia promised to help his family find the lost one. Before he left, he sent Su Feng two pieces of silver.

The next day, Jia Yucun sent someone to send two pieces of silver and four pieces of brocade, saying it was a reward for Zhen Yinshi's support. By the way, when I lived in Hulu Temple, I was ragged and penniless, and I sent 50 cars. You say that you are too careful in repaying kindness, or you say that Jia Yucun is full of lies. I won't say much about this. At the same time, Jia Yucun also wrote a letter to Su Feng, saying that this charming apricot girl is a little wife. When Jiao Xing looked back twice, he was still down and out. Jia Yucun once regarded him as a bosom friend, and he has never forgotten it.

So Su Feng discussed it with her daughter, and then gave her Jiao Xing. Jia Yucun was very excited. He sent a lot of gold and silver to Su Feng's family. A year later, this charming apricot tree gave birth to a son for Jia Yucun. Less than half a year later, Jia Yucun's first wife died of illness, and Yucun helped her become Tang Huo's lawful wife. Jiao Xing's homonym "Lucky" is really lucky. At that time, because of curiosity, she turned to this Jia Yucun twice, which created such an unexpected love affair. Her identity changed from a servant girl to a formal first lady, and her identity and life were different from now on. Really: I am an expert because of a clever move.

Besides Jia Yucun's experience in those years, he arrived in Beijing, was a scholar, and soon rose to the position of magistrate. However, although he is talented, he also has the disadvantage of being greedy. This Jia Yucun is good at doing things, but he is too strict with his subordinates and greedy for money. Coupled with his arrogance, those officials are very uncomfortable. So less than a year later, he was found a gap by his boss, that is, he picked a thorn and participated in his book with the emperor, saying that he was "cunning and good at coding etiquette; In the name of incorruptibility, it belongs to the tiger and the wolf. The place is troubled and the people live in misery. . . . "Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. It is really bad to say that Jia Yucun is an official. When the official document to recall him arrived, all the officials in this government were very happy and all the officials were overjoyed. So he himself felt ashamed and regretted. Jia Yucun is an educated man. Although he has resentment in his heart, there is no resentment on his face and he is still smiling. After I handed over my business, I sent my family back to my hometown, made proper arrangements and traveled by myself.

?

? On that day, I swam to Weiyang again, because I heard that Lin Ruhai was in charge of salt affairs this year. Jia Yucun swam to Yangzhou City that day. There is a central salt Commissioner named Lin Ruhai, whose surname is Lin Minghai, whose words are like the sea, but he has a criminal record, and he is the third in the country in the imperial examination, which is quite powerful. Now he has been promoted to be a doctor of Lantai Temple in Suzhou, and served as a salt inspector for more than a month. We have seen and read the suggestion of salt patrol in many TV dramas and novels, and he is a big official. Moreover, in ancient times, salt was so precious and scarce that many people could not afford it. This salt patrol proposal can definitely be said to be a very important position with oil and water. Lin Ruhai's ancestral home is a nobleman in Sichuan, who once attacked Liehou. Up to now, he is the fifth generation, and attacking officials usually only attack three. Because of Long Ensheng De, the emperor added extra benefits, went to Lin Ruhai's father, and then attacked a generation. When he came to Lin Ruhai, he was born in the first place. He found flowers in the imperial examination. Lin family is a scholarly family. Unfortunately, their family is not very rich, but only a few distant cousins, and their relationship is also very distant. Now Lin Ruhai is over forty years old. He has a three-year-old son who died last year. Although he has several concubines, he has no children. Only her first wife Jia gave birth to a five-year-old daughter named Daiyu. In other words, this Lin Ruhai family has a big career, but only one only child. His first wife, Jia, came from a big family, and she was the only daughter of the old lady. Because this Daiyu is the only daughter of the couple, and she loves like a treasure. Moreover, Daiyu is smart and comely, so Lin Ruhai wants her to read and write, which is also his wish to adopt a son.

Let's talk about Yucun's occasional cold and illness in the hotel, and he will gradually recover in January. This Jia Yucun has been ill for a month. He has spent almost all his travel expenses and wants to find a suitable place to live. Fortunately, two old friends also live here. Because there are two friends here, and I heard that this salt politician wants a tutor, Jia Yucun asked his friends to help him apply to be a tutor for Lin Daiyu. The beauty of this tutor is that there is only one female student and two classes are maids. This female student is very young, very weak and often asks for sick leave, so the teaching life in Jia Yucun is very easy.

Almost a year passed, but the mother of the female student, Mrs. Jia, died suddenly. Lin Daiyu's mother fell ill and died. Because Daiyu had to take medicine and water, she had to mourn, so Jia Yucun had to resign as a governess first, but Lin Ruhai left him to keep her daughter in school. It can be seen that Jia Yucun's knowledge is appreciated by Lin Ruhai. Scholars of scholarly family still hope that their daughters will continue to study with good teachers, so they stay in Yucun. However, Daiyu took a long-term sick leave because of her mother's death, excessive grief, young age and weak constitution.

When Jia Yucun is bored, he often goes out to drink to relieve boredom. Today, I occasionally go to the countryside to enjoy the scenery of that village. The mountains are heavy and the water is heavy, the bamboo forest is faint, and a temple is faintly exposed in front. The door lane is crumbling, the walls are decaying, and there is a forehead in front of the door, engraved with the words "Zhitong Temple". On this day, he wandered to the suburbs and saw a very shabby temple called Zhitong Temple. There is also a shabby couplet by the door: I forgot to put my hand behind me, but there is no way to turn back. I have made money that I can't spend all my life, but I don't know how to stop. I won't wake up until I turn around and repent as a last resort Jia Yucun looked at this couplet. Although the text is shallow, it has deep meaning. It contains profound philosophy of life, so I want to go in and ask. When I went in, I only saw an old monk cooking porridge there. Yucun came forward to ask, but the old monk pretended to be deaf and dumb and answered irrelevant questions.

Jia Yucun also listened impatiently, and turned to the pub to drink. As soon as I entered the pub door, a man stood up and laughed. He came to pick him up and said, adventure! Yucun is also recognized. This man is Leng Zixing, a Beijing antique dealer whom I met in Beijing before. He praised Leng Zixing most as a very capable person, and Leng Zixing liked Jia Yucun, a gentle scholar. Businessmen generally give people a bad smell of copper, so in ancient times, although many businessmen were rich, their status was actually very low. People look down on businessmen and respected scholars even more. Many businessmen will make friends with some scholars to improve their social status. So Leng Ziqing likes to make friends with scholars, which looks less vulgar. So it is most appropriate for two people to talk speculatively.

After a few commonplaces, the two men sat down to have a drink together. The two chatted and drank slowly. Yucun said, is there any news in Beijing today? Leng Zixing said, There is no news, but something strange happened at your old gentleman's house. That is to say, Jia Fu said that this Jia Fu had a miracle. Jia Yucun said with a smile, I have no relatives in Beijing. Who are you talking about? Leng Zixing said, It's the Jia family of the government. Can't I pass you? Jia Yucun nodded: This is his home. As far as genealogy is concerned, I can climb some relatives with their family. However, we can't talk about how glorious people are. Leng Zixing sighed, and the old man said, the two houses in Rong Ning are deserted now, which is not as good as before. Yucun was surprised: On that day, the population of Rong Ning's two families was also very large. How can we ignore it? I went to Jinling last year and wanted to see the ruins of the Six Dynasties. I went into the Stone Town and passed by his old house. Ning Guofu is in the east of the street, and Guo Rongfu is in the west of the street. The two houses are connected, so that most of the streets have stopped. Pavilions and pavilions in the garden are so imposing. Where is it like a house of decay? Leng Zixing said with a smile: It's a pity that you are a scholar, so you can't. Leng Zixing laughed at Jia Yucun's research. The ancients had a cloud, a hundred-footed worm, and died without being stiff. This sentence is used to describe a powerful family. Although it has declined, it is not completely bankrupt because of its strength and solid foundation. From "Six Generations". That is to say, Jia Fu can't do it. Just an empty shelf. Up and down, all he knows is sitting on the mountain. No one has a good plan, and no one knows frugality. What's more, children are becoming more and more abrasive. Leng Zixing can be said to be a bystander to Jia's family, seeing it thoroughly. Then he briefly introduced the history of Jia family. Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong are two brothers, Ning Guogong is the eldest, and they have four sons. After the death of Ning Guogong, Jia Daihua attacked the official and raised two sons. The eldest son Jia Fu died at the age of eight or nine, so the second son Jia Jing attacked the official and inherited his official position. This Jia Jing only likes to live in the Taoist temple and learn to live forever, so he gave his son Jia Zhen an official position in advance. This Jia Zhen gave birth to a son named Jia Rong, who is only 16 years old this year. His father doesn't care about him at all, so this Jia Zhen refuses to study and only knows how to have fun. Ningguo mansion was turned over by him, and no one dared to control him. Let me tell you something about Rong Guo Fu. The strange thing I just told you happened in Rongguo Mansion. According to legend, after the death of Rong Gong, the eldest son attacked the official, married the young lady, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The eldest son Jia She, the second son Jia Zheng, and the daughter Jia Min. Now Jia Daishan has passed away, and Taitai is still here. Jia she, the eldest son, attacked the official. The second son, Jia Zheng, loved reading since childhood, and grandpa was the most painful. Originally he wanted to be born in Hakka. Unexpectedly, Jia Daishan died young, and the emperor sympathized with the first minister. In addition to letting the eldest son attack the official, he also gave the title of Master Jia to his second son. Let him study in the Ministry, and now he has been promoted to foreign minister.

? Jia Zheng's wife Wang gave birth to a son named. She entered school at the age of fourteen and got married and had children before she was twenty. Unfortunately, her life was short and she died. The second child gave birth to a young lady. She was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year in Jia Yuanchun, which we will talk about later. This Mrs. Wang later gave birth to a son, which is strange to say. When this son was born, he had a colorful glittering jade in his mouth with a lot of handwriting on it, so he was named Baoyu, which is our hero Jia Baoyu. Leng Zixing said, just tell me if it's new. Speaking of it, it is really strange that a person has a piece of jade from the womb.

Yucun smiled and said, That's strange. I'm afraid this man has come to plow a lot. Leng Zixing went on to say that everyone said so, so his grandmother, Mrs. Shi, doted on Baoyu. At the age of one, Jia Zheng wanted to try his future ambition and let him grasp the week. Grasping Zhou is also a custom handed down by the ancients. It is said that when the child is one year old, put some ink and ink inkstones, swords, guns, sticks and swords, rouge, gouache and so on around him. And let the children choose what to catch. If they catch a pen and ink inkstone, they will say that the child will be a good seed for reading in the future. If he grabs wood blade's stick or something, he may like martial arts and become a martial arts champion in the future. Let's talk about this first. Baoyu grasps Zhou. Jia Zheng put countless things in the world around Xiao Baoyu for him to rob. Who knows, he didn't take anything, but he reached out and grabbed the rouge hairpin. The father was furious and said that drunkards are ears in the future. So I have prejudice against Baoyu and don't like him anymore. Only Mr. Shi Lao still loves Baoyu like a life. If you ask me, I still think Jia Zheng is the same. Then don't let go of those women's things. If you let them go, you will be unhappy.

Leng Zixing went on to say: Strange to say, Baoyu is seven or eight years old now. Although he is naughty, he is not as clever as he is. In other words, Baoyu is a very spiritual and intelligent child. But I just love talking nonsense about children. He said: My daughter is made of water and my man is made of mud. I feel refreshed when I see my daughter. Seeing a man makes me feel turbid and smelly. Do you think it's funny? There is no doubt that you will be a goat in the future!

Yucun stopped quickly, and Jia Yucun said seriously: No! If you don't read much and don't know things, you can't know things The old-timers about politics are also mistaken for womanizers. It means that people who haven't asked the university can't understand Baoyu's behavior. Leng Zixing saw that what he said was so important that he asked how it was.

Yucun said, there is little difference between heaven and earth, except for two kinds of great benevolence and great evil. The people produced by heaven and earth are not much different except for good and evil. Benevolence arises at the historic moment, and evil is robbed. Benevolence and righteousness conform to the good times, and people who commit heinous crimes appear in troubled times. Yao, Shun, Yu,,, Confucius and Mencius are all benevolent people, and they all came into being. Chiyou, * * Gong, Xiezhou, Qin Shihuang, Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Anshi Rebellion, etc. They are all villains, and they are all robbed of life. Benevolent people, cultivate the world; The villain disturbed the world. Qingming Lingxiu, the meaning of heaven and earth, the grasp of the benevolent; Cruel and perverse, the evil of heaven and earth, the evil of man. Now is the time of peace and prosperity, from the imperial court to the weeds. Many people have suffered from the meaning of heaven and earth, and some redundant meanings have become dew and breeze floating all over the country. Those evil spirits are afraid to be exposed in broad daylight, and they are all hidden in deep valleys, and some evil spirits either run out to see righteousness. To outdo each other, the two naturally played together. If anyone bears this special anger, it is neither just nor evil. He is smarter than the average person, but his behavior is particularly strange. Such a person, born in the royal family, will become a lover. If you are born into a poor scholar family, you will become a master and a hermit. If you are born in a poor family, you will become a famous musician and actor. For example, Tao Yuanming, Tang, Tang and Tang are all such people. Talk a lot. It's amazing.

Leng Zixing said, "If you succeed, the princes will be defeated, and thieves will do it." .

Yucun Road: Exactly. Jia Yucun's speech won the admiration of businessman Leng Zixing. So I want to give another speech. You don't know, since I was dismissed, I have traveled all over the province in the past two years and met two strange children. So, just now you mentioned this Baoyu, and I guessed that he was also a figure of this genre. Needless to say, only in Jinling City, Jia Zhen, the president of Jinling Institute of Physical Education, was sent by an imperial envoy. Do you know that?/You know what?

Leng Zixing said, how could I not know that this Zhen Fu and Jia Fu are old relatives and family friends, and the two families are very affectionate.

What I'm saying here actually echoes the couplets before the dreamland. Truth is good, fallacy is true. This Zhen has exactly the same experience as Jia and is an old relative. We'll talk later. In fact, this Zhen family is the Jia family, and the two are one.

The Jia Yucun went on to say: Last year, when I was in Jinling, I was also recommended to work in Zhen Fu, that is, to be a tutor in Zhen Fu. Who knows that his family is like a dignitary, and it is a rich and polite family. But this student, although enlightened, is harder than a business student. It's even more ridiculous. He said that we must have two daughters to study with me before we can read. He told the page that the word "daughter" was extremely noble and clean. Your tongue stinks. You must not say this word suddenly. Whenever you want to say something, you should rinse your eloquence with clear water and fragrant tea. Hearing this, we understand that this is exactly like Baoyu, and he is also a master who respects women. Then Yucun talked about his usual behavior. He is usually tyrannical, impetuous, stubborn and stupid, but once he goes in to see his sisters after school, he will become extremely gentle, peaceful, intelligent and elegant, just like a different person. So in fact, Zhen Baoyu and Jia Baoyu are just like one person, and all kinds of behaviors and ideas are the same. Because of this, this Zhen Baoyu's father is also very angry. He called several times, but he won't change. Every time a taxi hurts, he shouts at his sister. Later, Fred's daughters also made fun of him. Why do you have to ask your sisters to do something when you are in a hurry? Why don't you ask your sisters to intercede for you? Do you still know shame? His answer is the best, he said, when the pain is urgent, just call Sister Sister, otherwise it is unknown whether the pain can be relieved. He said that his name was Sister Sister, but he really didn't feel pain, so he got this secret method. Every time he gets hurt, he even screams at his sister. This paragraph of description is very interesting, thinking that we know that there is also a story of Jia Fu Baoyu being beaten in A Dream of Red Mansions, which echoes this. Baoyu of Jiafu, like this Zhen Baoyu, was beaten and called Sister, saying that it can relieve pain, and his love for Sister was almost abnormal.

? Yucun went on to say, just say it's ridiculous or not. Well, because his grandmother dotes on him too much, and often because his grandson is dissatisfied with the discipline of his father and teachers, I quit this job as a tutor. Now I'm a tutor at the Shilin family. You see, these children will never keep grandpa's inheritance and admonish them according to the teacher's rules. It's a pity that he has few sisters. It's a pity that women can't be officials, but they are talented.

? Leng Zixing said: Even the Jia family, the three existing ones are not bad. Jia Zheng's eldest daughter, named Yuan Chun, chose to be a female history in the palace because of her filial piety and virtue. The second young lady's name is Yingchun, which was born to Jia She's concubine, and Jia Zheng regarded it as his own. These three young ladies are Tanchun, born to Jia Zheng's concubine. Huei-fang's name is Xichun, and she is Jia Zhen's sister in Ningfu. Because Mrs. Shi loves her granddaughter very much, they all study with her. I heard that they are all very good.

? Yucun asked, there is a rule in this Zhen family that daughters' names are all given by men, instead of gaudy names such as "spring", "red", "fragrance" and "jade". Why is this Jia family so hidebound?

Leng Zixing said that because this young lady was born on the first day of the first month, she was called, so all other women were named after the word "Chun". The older generation is also named after brothers. For example, your current employer's wife is your younger sister, your younger sister, and Mrs. Smith's only daughter. She is called at home.

Yucun said: No wonder this female student studies, and wherever there is the word "min", she always reads it as "secret". I've been thinking, if I write with the word "min", will there be one or two strokes missing? Now, from what you said, there is no doubt about it. In ancient times, it was taboo to avoid the name of an elder or a distinguished person, so it was taboo to the old people in the family or to the emperor and the royal family. For example, if there is a word "Xuan" in his name, then a mysterious word in your name can no longer be used. For Daiyu, her mother is called Min, so when writing Min, she will deliberately write fewer strokes, misspell the words, or read them out, so she will not read Min directly. This is a kind of respect for mother, but now everyone may not. It is disrespectful to misspell someone's name on purpose. Because the concept of customs will have some evolution, but respect has always existed, just in different forms. Yucun went on to say that it is no wonder that Daiyu's words and deeds are different from those of ordinary women. It turns out that her mother is extraordinary and teaches women by example. Unfortunately, her mother died last month.

Leng Zixing also felt sorry for Daiyu and then said. Jia Zheng's eldest son died. Besides Baoyu, his concubine gave birth to another son. I don't know if it's good or bad. That is to say, I haven't heard much about this son, and I don't know what the future will be like. Jia She also has two sons. The eldest son, Jia Lian, is in his twenties this year. She married Jia Zheng's wife, Wang's niece, and has been married for two years. Even Mr. Lian, who doesn't like reading, donated a governor. I don't have a skill, so I live in Jia Zheng's house and help with some housework. In ancient times, the poor worked hard to read sage books to gain fame, while some officials and rich people also read books, and some just bought official positions. This is the difference between people with the same life. Who knows that the lady he married is a good-looking and skilled person. She speaks frankly and neatly, and her mind is delicate and far-reaching. The whole government praised her as a capable person.

Yucun said, these people you and I just mentioned, even passers-by endowed with good and evil, can't tell clearly. Jia Yucun wanted to continue his speech, but Leng Zixing was impatient. Good and evil is someone else's business, he said. Drink your bar. Knowing that he had said too much, Yucun quickly said: Yes, yes, I had a few more drinks today, just saying. It was getting late, and Jia Yucun was afraid that the city gate would be closed, so he invited Leng Zixing Advanced City to talk with him slowly. Just as I was about to get up, I heard someone calling behind me: Brother Yucun, congratulations!

If you want to know what will happen, listen to me next time.
