Talk about Jia Yucun in Dream of Red Mansions (1)

I just watched the first few episodes, and Jia Yucun’s life has been ups and downs.

The down-and-out talented man

Down and out, he was rescued by Zhen Shiyin. Zhen Shiyin got along with him with respect and had a pleasant conversation with him. Moreover, they also sent him to go to school to take the exam. When Zhen Shiyin thought about finding someone to take care of it, Jia Yucun had already left and stayed behind. Scholars didn't care about the relationship management. With his talent and learning, he passed the exam and became an official.

Returning home with honor

Jia Yucun returned to his hometown to serve as an official, which can be said to be a glorious return to his hometown. When I went back to inquire about it, I found that the benefactor Zhen Shiyin's family had undergone tremendous changes in the past few years. Her daughter Yinglian was lost, her home was burned down, she took refuge with her father-in-law, and was treated coldly. His family fortune was dwindling, he saw through the worldly world, and became a monk. Jia Yucun visited Mrs. Zhen’s family. Not forgetting his original intention for the eldest maid, he took her as a concubine. This maid also had a good fortune. Within two years, her first wife passed away, and she was helped upright and gave birth to a son. Jia Yucun is considered complete.

Entering the officialdom for the first time

Jia Yucun is very serious about being an official, upright and truthful. Offended many people. He was dismissed within a few years. During his dismissal, he went to work as a private school teacher. I once taught a perverse young man from the Zhen Mansion and felt that his daughter was the most noble and had quite the temperament of Hou Wen Baoyu. Because his parents were dissatisfied, they fired him. Later, he went to Lin Ruhai's family to teach Lin Daiyu. During this period, Lin Daiyu's mother Jia Min passed away.

Life turning point

After Jia Yucun met Leng Zixing by chance, he heard him talk about the family members of Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong. After being advised by someone, he helped Lin Ruhai and sent Lin Daiyu to Jinling. Lin Ruhai wrote a greeting note for him, which was also a letter of introduction. When Jia Zheng saw the letter, he attached great importance to Jia Yucun and recommended him to be an official. Soon, Jia Yucun had an official position again.

What happened to Jia Yucun who took office again? What changes have taken place in his life? Continue tomorrow?
