Why did Aunt Xue bring her whole family to Beijing?

The Xue family has not only "several businesses" but also "several houses" in Kyoto. Going to Beijing is like going home. But strangely, they went to Beijing but didn't live in their own home, but the whole family lived in Jiafu. As the saying goes, a nest of gold and silver is not as good as a nest of grass. I have my own property and live freely. Why should I stay with my relatives and be bound?

There is a clear explanation in the book, and the answer lies in a sentence in Ying Tian Fu Mei Zi:

"These four families are all related by relatives, and they are all damaged. They are all sharing weal and woe and taking care of them."

This sentence cannot be taken lightly. Together with the symbol of official protection, it embodies the relationship between the four families of Jia's family and the fate of breathing. This relationship is not lip service. Xue's living in Jiafu is his concrete manifestation.

Wang Ziteng attached great importance to Xue Pan's crime. The appearance of the Xue family was introduced through the gourd case, and the protagonist of the gourd case was Xue Pan. The book admits that "this Xue Gongzi lost his father when he was young, and his widowed mother pitied him as an orphan, so he indulged and indulged, and the boss accomplished nothing." Known as "Yugong Overlord" and "Jinling Bully". I used to be young, and I couldn't stand the big waves no matter how overbearing I was. But now 15 years old, it is the age of blood, through personnel, actually achieved a lifetime for a girl. At this rate, we don't know how much trouble we will get into. As Jia Zheng said when he beat up Baoyu, "Tomorrow will kill his father", so he and Jia can't accept it.

So, as soon as things came out, he wrote to Mrs. Wang, "I plan to play in Beijing" and called Xue Pan to Kyoto.

Why are you calling here? Teach a few words? Beaten? Of course it's not that simple. Three of the four families, Jia is in Kyoto, and only the Xue family is outside, but Xue Pan has no father to take care of him. This is equivalent to putting a bomb under the free sky that will lead four families to the abyss at any time, which has to make people sleepless.

Therefore, Wang Ziteng wanted to call Xue Pan to Beijing and put him beside him, so as to facilitate control and discipline.

When he was promoted to the frontier fortress, Xue made a second choice: to live in Jiafu. According to Wang Ziteng's arrangement, Xue Jia must live in the Wangs after Beijing, and Xue Pan will be disciplined by his uncle Wang Ziteng. However, when the Xue family was still on the road, Wang Ziteng "promoted the governance of nine provinces and ordered it to stop".

There is a psychological activity of Xue Pan in the book:

Xue Pan secretly rejoiced: "I was worried that going to Beijing would be under the jurisdiction of my first-class mother-in-law. I can't squander it at will, and now I'm out again, knowing God's will. "

This kind of psychological activity expresses two meanings: first, Xue Pan really needs someone to strictly discipline him, otherwise he will only "squander at will" completely according to his own temper; Second, the Xue family planned to live in the Wangs before entering Beijing, and Xue Pan was "ruled" by "mother-in-law" Wang Ziteng.

In other words, when Xue Jia came to Beijing, he never thought of living in his own house. So, as soon as Xue Pan heard that his uncle had been promoted to the frontier post, he discussed with his mother to "take a few people to clean up" the house he had not lived in for more than ten years.

But in the face of Xue Pan's suggestion, Aunt Xue was very calm: "Let's go to Beijing to visit relatives and friends first, or go to your uncle's house or your aunt's house."

Pay attention to this "or" and choose one of the two options. Aunt Xue has made up her mind that the Wangs and Jiafu can stay in Beijing this time.

Jia, Wang and Xue have been discussing this issue for a long time. The reason lies in what Menzi said: "Support the cover-up, and everyone will deal with it".

At this time, Xue Jia is in need of "helping the poor and helping the poor". In the face of Xue Pan's "extravagant temperament and arrogant words" son, Aunt Xue felt helpless. Moreover, everyone can see that if left unchecked, there will be endless disasters.

Aunt Xue dotes on her children, but it is not unreasonable. She also knows that this is not about the Xue family, but about the four families. Even a door knows that the four families are "all lost, all glorious." Can Aunt Xue not know? If you want to live alone in your own house at this time, you just don't understand the overall situation and ignore the safety of the other three.

Therefore, even for the benefit of the four families, we have to live in Jia's house because of injustice.

For this move, we can't blame the modern concept that it is not appropriate for my sister and family to live in my brother-in-law's house. The criterion here should be the sentence of Menzi: "One loss is all lost, and one glory is all glory. Support and cover up, everyone should manage it well." The unbreakable relationship accumulated by several generations has far exceeded the in-laws relationship.

Writing here, I suddenly remembered the recent "Home, Four Generations of Old Photos". Writer Zhang Junyong strung together the experiences of four generations with photos, which wrote: Her grandmother lived in the war years, and her grandfather died unexpectedly, leaving five underage children. Orphans and widows can't survive, so my grandpa's friends lend a helping hand in time and take this big family in. Although everyone is not rich, they still live a frugal life.

This is an emotional relationship that transcends blood, and can't be judged by blood.

So living in the Jia family is good for everyone: the Xue family has someone who can take care of Xue Pan, and the Jia family doesn't have to worry about sleeping.

Let Xue family live in pear fragrance court, which is Jia Zheng's respect for Xue family. It is precisely because it is everyone's knowledge to manage Xue Pan well. As soon as he entered Jia's house, Jia Zheng offered to let Xue stay. The reason is to support and take care of him: "My aunt is old and my nephew is young and doesn't understand the world. If he lives outside, he is afraid of life. "

Pay attention to this "living outside". The Xue family lives in their own house. How can it be called "living outside"? This "outside" just shows that Jia Zheng regards the Xue family as his own family, a family that needs to take care of each other: since he has come to Kyoto, he will live in his own home, and our home is his own, so as not to cause trouble.

Before Xue Jia entered Beijing, the author explained through Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng that Jia Zheng was "humble and kind, with the legacy of his great-grandfather". In order to make the Xue family feel no dependence, the Xue family was specially arranged to live in Lixiangyuan, giving them a very high standard of respect.

Why do you say that?

Because, "this is pear fragrance court where Rong Gong lived in seclusion in his later years". I always say that the beauty of the red chamber lies in the details. This sentence is often ignored by readers.

Although it is not specified here whether "Rong Gong" is the first generation Rong Gong or the second generation Rong Gong, they are all ancestors or fathers of Jia Zheng. In that era when filial piety was greater than heaven, such a house could not be easily decorated, otherwise it would be unfilial and blasphemous to our ancestors.

Some people used the little actor who later lived in pear fragrance court to prove that Jia Zheng insulted the Xue family, but he didn't want to think about it. At the same time, did Jia Zheng insult his ancestors? It is because of respect that small players live in such a noble place as Lixiangyuan. Because the young players are preparing for the relatives in Yuan Chun Province, this is a respect for the imperial concubine.

In addition, when Rong Gong chose pear fragrance court to rest, it can be seen that this is the treasure of the whole Rong mansion, with convenient access and quiet in the middle of the noise. Jia Zheng is very considerate, in order not to let the Xue family be wronged, and in order not to let people feel dependent on others.

Of course, the Xue family is also reasonable, and offered that "all daily expenses will be provided and all will be exempted", and called this "the way to get along", indicating that the two sides have reached a permanent understanding.

What's more, it is clearly pointed out in the book: "Aunt Xue is about to live together before she can hold on tight. If she lives outside, she is afraid that she (Xue Pan) will cause trouble. "

This directly points out the purpose of Xue's living in Jia's house: to control Xue Pan and avoid trouble.

But no one expected that Xue Pan, who was afraid of being detained by his uncle and didn't want to live at home, felt endless fun after only living for less than half a month. Xue Pan was originally worried by Jia Zheng, and was lured to "ten times as much as that day" in Jia's family, which is an irony that the author thinks that Jia's superficial wealth is actually dirty, but wealth is beyond the surface.
