Jia She, the local tyrant of the Red Chamber

As a living body with rice worms as its lifelong goal, the former Liu Yang discovered that Jia She was very, very dissatisfied with his current physique.This body is only in his 40s, which should be the most handsome age of a man.If the natural skin is defective, that's all.It is really not happy to be spoiled by the predecessor forcibly with the foundation of local tyrants' money and become a high-end black man.

Restoring the vitality of Grand Master Amnesty is a top priority.So in the name of prolonged illness, he tossed three or four imperial physicians one after another.In the end, because of a doctor Gao's intimidation, saying that if General Jia was so drunk and sensual, not only would Yuan Yang easily wither in a few years, and he might eventually die, he was actually deterred, and vowed on the spot to change his ways.

The news spread that day, but no one believed it.What's more, I didn't see which people in the house Jia Amnesty actually sent away. He just recuperated his illness and didn't ask them to serve him.Who doesn't know that the elder Jia's pardon is an evil ghost in his eyes?Among them were his cousin Jia Rong and his second brother's nephew Xue Pan.

This day, the two of them were drinking together, talking about the news about Mr. Pardon's abstinence from sex, and they were laughing at each other.

Jia Rong said: "This is the first time that the iron tree has blossomed."

Xue Pan only cared about making guesses and making all kinds of fun, and sneaked in to say: "I just don't believe it. Let's see how long he can bear it."

During the banquet, a young boy took advantage of the situation and said: "Master Xi only recuperates behind closed doors, but I don't know what's going on inside."

Xue Pan clapped his hands together: "That's right! It's so cold, it would be nice to raise them all together on the kang! Good nephew, how about we go find out?"

Jia Rong waved her hands again and again.Jia Amnesty raised him for two generations, and he was afraid that nothing good would happen if he shamed his uncle and grandpa.What's more, he is absurd and left-minded, so don't be hated by him.

The little Yao'er pursed her lips and smiled, and quietly moved to Xue Pan's side and said, "I'm afraid that Uncle Xiao Rong wouldn't dare, that's his great-uncle."

Xue Pan thought it was the same, but he was farther away. Besides, Jia She loved him very much on weekdays, and he said that he was congenial.He wished he could leave immediately, only looked at Jia Rong, and said that he was drunk.Jia Rong is not willing to let go, I am afraid that if he really goes to visit Jia Amnesty, if he is so drunk and has a collision, he may not be blamed on his own head.

The little Yao'er laughed again: "I remembered a joke about how to make fun of the two masters."

Jia Rong hurriedly ordered him to speak quickly.

He said: "In this world, anyone who is drunk will refuse to admit that he is drunk, and insists that he can still drink three hundred cups. Anyone who pretends to be drunk will evade that, I am already drunk, and I can't take another sip."

Everyone laughed.Jia Rong pointed at him and said, "Where is such a clever kid, let's make fun of you, Mr. Xue's family."

Xue Pan was even more happy to hammer the table: "Good boy, you have courage. Since you speak so hotly, come and drink three hundred cups." He asked him what his name was, how old he was, and where he worked now .

The little boy kowtowed and said: "The villain is originally the junior of Zhang Cheng's family in the stable. He is 11 years old. He came here today because he followed Uncle Xue's car. He is called Zhang Mutou."

He was so clever but his name was Mu Mu, which made everyone laugh again.

Changing cups and cups until the afternoon, Zhang Mutou flattered him in every possible way.He was not a good-looking man, but when he talked about jokes, he was so tense that it became even more ridiculous.

The next day, Xue Pan really went to find Wang Xifeng and begged him.He also said that the name was interesting and would not change it.Aunt Xue saw that he had a childish face, ordinary appearance, and clear speech, so she felt relieved, rewarded him with a bunch of money, and ordered Haosheng to serve the uncle without mentioning it.

A few days later, Xue Pan had just entered the courtyard after having a drink outside, when he heard Zhang Mutou show off by the door and tell a drunken joke. , and specially begged him to be a servant, and the wife and uncle gave him money and so on.There is a saying that you must predict your confidant's affairs and listen to what is behind your back. Xue Pan listened to these words very pleasantly.He also remembered that his attempt to find out about Jia She was unsuccessful that day, so he came in, lit a piece of wood, and said to go to Jia She's yard.

Zhang Mutou said with a smile: "I think I'm drunk today, why don't we try another day."

All the boys and servants laughed.

Xue Pan scolded: "You've got your face down! Why was your uncle drunk? Hurry up and follow." He kicked him again.

Zhang Mutou had no choice but to keep up, but when he turned around he made faces with the crowd and laughed again.

Xue Pan excitedly came to Jia Amnesty's courtyard with Jiu Xing, when someone came to salute at the other end, he wanted to report.Zhang Mutou pulled his uncle and winked: "Master, we have to go secretly." Xue Pan nodded hurriedly, and called the man to stop him from going inside.

Zhang Mutou led Xue Pan to find a small path, and said: "My eldest sister is a roommate in the old man's house. I am the most familiar with their house. Let's go through a porch from the back. Passing through the Moon Cave Gate is the back of the Grand Master's house."

Xue Pan laughed and scolded other people as little ghosts, and said: "So you are still a relative of the master?"

Zhang Mutou shook his head, revealing a wry smile. "How dare you gossip about the masters. The old man was drunk and picked up his elder sister to accompany him, but later his wife made the decision and gave him a roommate. The older sister is ordinary, and the next day the old man will not remember her. Now I can only live. That's all." There are countless aunts in Jia She's backyard, and looking at Zhang Mumu's face, he doesn't think his sister will look any better.

Although it is winter at the moment, it is warm and sunny, which is quite comfortable.Jia Amnesty's courtyard used to be the garden of the mansion, and the small road was quite scenic, and after having had some wine, Xue Pan was in a good mood, and said casually: "So, tomorrow, I will intercede for your sister and ask the elder to let him go out." how?"

Zhang Mutou was overjoyed, and he didn't care about the stones, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Xue Pan more than a dozen times.

Xue Pan waved his hand to get him up, Zhang Mutou became more respectful, Xue Pan felt the pleasure of being kind to others, and when he was proud, he went ahead to find the way by himself, and the two of them tiptoed over like thieves.

Just then there was a voice behind the rockery sneering: "It's just that I got Miss Bao a few hundred dollars, so I'm so happy with her."

There are a few dense bamboos growing at the root of the rockery, covering the figure completely, and it sounds like a half-sized daughter-in-law.

Another persuaded: "That hoof has little knowledge, so he dismissed it with just a few jingle heads. No one in this house knows that Miss Bao is rich. If you change your sister, you will definitely get a silver coin."

The one in front was even more annoyed, as if he had been poked at a shortcoming, and his voice rose sharply: "It's just that he has two coins, and he doesn't even know his name! He always misses our second master Jiabao, and the things in her family will not be complete sooner or later." It belongs to our mansion!"

Seeing that Xue Pan was about to get angry, Zhang Mutou hurriedly persuaded softly: "This bitch must not be able to speak, she has never been rewarded with a few dollars from our girl, she must be jealous. Don't be angry, I only let the second mistress dismiss this bitch Tongue shrew."

Xue Pan is not a respectable person, but before he can throw him away, he heard another strange saying: "I often heard people say that the old lady wants to give Miss Lin to Master Bao. I also heard that Miss Bao said something. What kind of golden lock is it because it is a pair with the second master's jade."

The one in front proudly said: "What do you know. The Lin family is only a poor scholar, you can tell by looking at Miss Lin. Kuang Lin's uncle is not going to make it. The Xue family has a wealth of ten thousand, have you ever heard that pearls are like earth and gold is like iron? Sooner or later it will be our family of."

Xue Pan froze all of a sudden.

The other said: "The Xue family still has a grandpa."

The one in front laughed again: "That idiot's life is in our family's hands, we just wait for Miss Bao to marry."

Zhang Mutou was in a hurry, he opened his mouth to yell, but Xue Pan gave him a hard stare, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

The other asked in surprise, "What do you mean by sister?"

This one said triumphantly: "Have you ever heard of a lawsuit saying that the original owner is dead? In the early years when Uncle Xue beat someone to death in Jinling, our family went to deal with it. We only said that Uncle Xue died suddenly and the lawsuit was over. That's ridiculous. Uncle Xue thought that he was safe and sound from now on. All these things can only be fooled by that fool. The son-in-law of Zhou Rui’s family also pushed the lawsuit to other people. If you want to be clean, it’s not good to push it to the servants? Look Well, let's wait for a few years now, as soon as Miss Bao gets married, Uncle Xue will probably be taken down by the officials."

The other said: "I can't stop, Aunt Xue and the second wife are sisters."

"Fool, can sisters kiss their sons and daughters? Aunt Xue is also a fool. No wonder the son she gave birth to is also stupid. She believed the second wife after a few words. I heard from my head that the Xue family gave the second wife 5 taels of silver begged her to bring Miss Bao into the palace, but the second wife took some to do it. She only said that the Xue family was reluctant to let her daughter go, and begged the palace to let her go. Otherwise, you will treat Miss Bao as everyone in the house. How about a gold lock with a jade lock? If it wasn’t for the absolute certainty, who would dare to take a woman from the emperor?”

"Hey, can the Xue family agree after knowing it!"

"Who cares if they agree or not? Besides, who can tell them. Besides, our eldest lady is about to become an imperial concubine, so I'm afraid they don't even bring money."

That one asked: "Miss Yuanda is right?"

"That's right, just pretend not to know for now. After three to five months, there will be an imperial decree from the emperor, and our family will also be relatives of the emperor." The daughter-in-law said arrogantly.

The other daughter-in-law probably heard what she said, and hurriedly said: "Come on, we didn't pass on the words." Hearing the footsteps, she thought she dragged the other and ran away in a hurry.

Zhang Mutou was so frightened that he fell on the ground, not daring to move.

After half a cup of tea, Xue Panfang recovered from his shock and anger.He said fiercely: "This is a good relative!" He turned around and wanted to leave.

Zhang Mutou hurriedly hugged his thigh: "Wait a minute, sir! I don't know what's going on now, if it's true, don't act rashly, sir!"

Xue Pan lowered his head and stared at him sullenly.

Zhang Mutou just didn't let go: "Maybe it's a heartless servant spreading nonsense? Maybe it's a trap by others, otherwise why did the uncle hear this, and hide it so well that he can't see who the face is. Even if Really...really...the uncle also needs to think about it in the long run, and discuss it carefully with his wife and daughter!"

Xue Pan still did not speak.

Zhang Mutou persuaded: "I have won the favor of my uncle, and I have been a handyman since I was a child. It is like ascending to heaven from the underworld. Now the deed is in the hands of the uncle. If the uncle is not good, I will lose my life. Please. Don’t be reckless, sir! By the way, girl!” He seemed to have thought of something suddenly, “Our girl is smart, sir, let’s go home and discuss with the girl! The girl must have an idea!”

At any rate, Xue Pan was persuaded, and the two of them were excited when they went, and returned to Lixiangyuan as if they were dead.

Entering Aunt Xue's yard, Xue Pan asked for his younger sister to be invited, and drove out the rest, leaving only a piece of wood.

Zhang Mutou knelt on the ground, already calmed down a lot, he told all about how he urged Xue Pan to walk down the path, how he listened to the words behind the rockery, and how he desperately persuaded Xue Pan to go home first.

Aunt Xue was angry and anxious when she heard this, and immediately went to Mrs. Wang to seek justice.

It was Xue Baochai who held back her mother: "Mom is going to find my aunt what to do. And I don't know if it's true or not. If a traitor instigates it, wouldn't it be a trick?"

Aunt Xue cried: "What did they do to let that Jia Yucun condemn your brother to death, as that bitch said, wouldn't it be good to pass it on to the servants?"

Xue Baochai shook her head and said, "It's not so easy for the government to decide the case. Mom, let's take a break, we need to think long-term." Looking back, she looked at Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mutou drooped his head, not daring to say a word.

Xue Baochai asked: "So, did you lead the uncle to that small road by chance?"

Zhang Mutou was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he cried: "The villain just wants to please the uncle, and get a few rewards. I never expected to hear such cruel words. I knew that the villain would not leave even if I died." that way."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be a fake, Baochai had already believed it seven or eight points in his heart.Besides, if he and the two daughters-in-law were in the same group, he wouldn't have said the words of "deliberately speaking to the uncle". This situation must have been out of hand.

After pondering for a long time, looking at Zhang Mumu eagerly looking at himself, he suddenly remembered that the child said that he must have an idea, and he felt better.Turning to Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, she said, "It's easy to know if it's true or not. Auntie cried a while ago and said she didn't know how Sister Yuanchun was doing in the palace. Just wait patiently for three to five months and we'll find out." .”

The author has something to say: the issue of the age of the elder pardon is not clearly stated in the original book, and the ages of the people in the Red Chamber are not particularly clear. It is only in the area where Baoyu was beaten. Jia Zheng sighed that he was about 46 people.This general is also an approximation, if it is more than 11, it can be fifty.Various calculations here are different, according to Daiyu's 15 years old this year, and 41 years old at the time of the autumn wind and rain. The interval is four years old, which means that Jia Zheng will turn fifty in four years. Tweed.

Let's sort out the time (non-text)

Because Cao Dada has too many bugs in this pit, Jin Zi can only follow a certain timeline as the background.

In the autumn of that year, the imperial physician Zhang Youshi said that Qin Keqing would be able to pass this winter, and if he could make it to the next vernal equinox (the first ten days of February in the lunar calendar), he would recover, but the hope was slim.

Sister Feng saw that she was in good spirits on the second day of December.

During Jia Rui's serious illness, he came back in Lajinchun, although he still died.

The time when Lin Ruhai sent a letter to pick up Sister Lin was at the end of this winter.

The next thing was Qin Keqing's death. Although the time was not clearly stated, "Baoyu recently returned because of Lin Daiyu...now I heard from a dream that Qin Shi died", so it can be seen that the time between the two events was not long.

On the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the funeral (that is, the 33rd day after his death), Zhao'er from Suzhou came back and said that Mrs. Lin was gone on the third day of September.

So there are four possibilities.

One is that sister Lin didn't wait to see his father for the last time, and Lin Hai passed away while Xin was on the road.In this way, Lin Hai wrote the letter in August or even earlier, and spent four months on the road.But in this case, sister Lin will have to arrive home in April of the next year, because she is not in good health and cannot withstand the toss of the Clippers.So even if the Zhaoer Clippers return to Beijing, they will still get Xia Tian.This is inconsistent with Keqing's death shortly after Daiyu's return to the south.And such gold is written in vain ==

The second is that Cao Da made a typo, and the time when Lin Hai took sister Lin back to the south was summer.This is still too far away from Keqing's funeral.

The third is that Qin Keqing was quite able to survive, and survived the spring equinox of the second year, and even the autumn and winter of the second year.Ditto.

The fourth is that Cao Da made a typo, or wrote a wrong word when transcribing it. When Lin Hai hanged it, it was not September, but the first month or February.

Jin Jin believes that the fourth possibility is the most likely.

Therefore, Jin Zi uses the following as the original time:

Sister Lin received the letter from Lin Hai at the beginning of December,

The shipping time from Yangzhou to Beijing is one month.

Sister Lin arrives home in the first month of the month,

Lin Hai died on the third day of February,

Keqing died a few days later (around the vernal equinox).

Zhao'er returned to Beijing 33 days after Keqing's death, that is, in early or mid-March.

Jia Zhengsheng did not take the exam in Japan.But it is always after Keqing Qiqi, and the connection will not be too tight.Keqing Qiqi is the end of March.

Let’s assume that Jia Zheng’s birthday is in April.Yuanchun concubine, wrote to Jia Lian in Yangzhou, Jia Lian received the letter in May.At this time, Sister Lin will pass or have passed her hundred days of filial piety.

If Jia Zheng's birthday is in May.It may be June that Jia Lian received the letter.And Sister Lin's Hundred Days of Filial Piety ended on May 500th.Presumably Jia Lian would not spend too long in Yangzhou if he had nothing to do, and a hundred days would be enough for him to collect the [-] million windfall, so Jia Lian and Daiyu were already on their way back to Beijing in June and could not receive any letters.

Therefore, Jin Zi set Jia Zheng's birthday as a certain day in April.

The author has something to say: "You Now You See Me", it's great!
