Is Mrs. Wang the next ancestor of Rongguo Mansion?

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-29

Although the wife of the head of Rongguo Mansion is now Mrs. Wang, readers should not think that Mrs. Wang will sit and wait for the next Rongguo Mansion ancestor to be upgraded, you must know that the hereditary title of Rongguo Mansion is on the eldest lord!Mrs. Jia Xing's residence in the old garden of Rongfu is actually temporary. Under normal circumstances, as soon as Jia's mother is promoted, Rongguofu should be the eldest son of the lord. At that time, the eldest lord and the eldest lady will be majestic and high-spirited, "Hu Hansan is back again", and the second old man and the second wife will continue to sit firmly in the main room of Rongxi Hall

However, how can Jia's mother be so high, how can she not think about this before she ascends, and she will love Sun Baoyu, the youngest son Jia Zheng who she loves, and the baby who "has a living dragon". There is only one Rongguo Mansion, and it must be the heir to the lord before it can live;Then, on the occasion of her death, Jia's mother will preside over the division of the family (according to the patriarchal social etiquette of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the parents are here, Jia and Jia Zheng cannot be separated, and can only analyze the property to a limited extent, which means it), the mansion of Rongguo Mansion was given to the eldest son, and most of the other property was given to the second sonSo Mrs. Jia Zhengwang moved to the old garden of Rongfu and fell in love with Mrs. Jia XingOr do you want to find another place to buy an old house or build a new house, and build a Rongguo Mansion No. 2?

In Gu Taiqing's book "Dream of Red Mansions", he wrote that Jia Yu was pardoned and returned, and after a while, he bought another house and moved away to live in another place. I don't have to pile up with my second brother. The setting here is still based on the plot of Gao E's continuation of the book, that is, the second master did not commit a crime, the eldest master committed a crime, the title was lost, and then the eldest master came back, of course, the main hall of Rongguo Mansion had no part of him. The fifth chapter of the book wrote: "It is true that the minister deserves to be punished, but when he met the Son of Heaven Shengming, he remembered his family's merits and returned his family property, and the political master attacked the Duke of Rongguo." "However, if the eldest lord is not punished and the title is not removed, under normal circumstances, who will the Rongguo Mansion belong to in the end?Gu Taiqing had to face this problem.

And this question, whether it is Gu Taiqing, Gao E, or even Cao Xueqin herself, they have actually avoided it. Because Jiafu must fall, Ningrong and Rongfu will follow Ning first, and the pardon political brothers will be pardoned first, which is the foreshadowing setting of the author's previous book. We take it for granted that Mrs. Wang is the next old lady. But we must know that if the days go on like this, in fact, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang will have to move out of Rongguo Mansion sooner or later.

Following this line of thought, maybe the second grandmother of Bao in the future, whether it is Baochai or Daiyu, actually doesn't have much to do.

From this point of view, the dispute between gold and jade, wood and stone in the first eighty chapters of the book can really be described as Bai Letian's poem: "What is the dispute on the snail's horn?".”

Mrs. Xing has become the new ancestor of Rongguo Mansion, and it stands to reason that the grandmother in charge still has to be Wang Xifeng. And rightly so. Before, she managed the house in her aunt's house, but in fact, she could only be regarded as a "power master" in name. Because she is a nephew and daughter-in-law. And now, she is a serious "daughter-in-law".

However, however, let's not forget that Mrs. Xing hates Sister Feng's daughter-in-law deeply. At this time, she couldn't join forces with Jia Lian, the son of Second Sister Yinyou who also hated his wife deeply, and sent Sister Feng back to Jinling with a letter of resignation

Of course, there is a premise here, that is, Mrs. Wang's biological daughter and Jiafu's backer concubine in the court is gone, or she has entered the cold palace;Then Mrs. Wang's brother, the most capable officialdom hummer of the four major families, and the prince Teng, who is in and out of the prime minister, also hung up. Otherwise, give her ten guts, and Mrs. Xing will not dare to beat the girl of the Wang family.

The idea came back again: If Concubine Yuan and Wang Ziteng are still there, even if Jia's mother is gone, even if the eldest lord is still there, even if the eldest lord has not committed any crimes, can he still return to the main room of Rongxi Hall?According to the etiquette, the old couple only has to roll up and leave, which has nothing to say, which has to be this rule in any day;According to the strength, the overall interests and future prospects of the Rongguo Mansion and even the Ningrong Mansion are the most important, of course, it is the most advantageous for Mrs. Jia Zhengwang to sit firmly in the main house of Rongxi Hall. Therefore, the best operation for the eldest lord is to give the title to the second lord (I don't know if this can be done according to the Qing Dynasty system?So as not to embarrass each other?

Chen Dakang's book "The Economic Account of Rongguofu" repeats that Ding Ning's "Mrs. Wang and Li Kun are not ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discord, there is a fundamental conflict of interest between them", the second chapter of the book:

Madame Wang and Baoyu) The second group of opponents is Li Kun and Jia Lan, and their potential threat is even more deadly. Jia Zhu is the long house of Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lan is the grandson of the long house, and they will hold power at that time It is a legitimate thing to be protected by feudal etiquette, even if Baoyu is still alive after Jia Zheng's death, it is still very difficult for Mrs. Wang to compete with Li Kun and Jia Lan. Madame Wang must hope that her son Baoyu will be hereditary, and Li Kun, the daughter of Guozi's priest wine, is by no means a fool, and she will do her best to protect the rights and interests of herself and her son Jia Lan. Therefore, Mrs. Wang and Li Kun are not ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law feuds, and there is a fundamental conflict of interest between them. Moreover, even if the future hereditary aside, there is still a question between them: once Jia Zheng dies, who should be in charge of this house?Is it Bao Erye, or Jia Lan?It should be Sun Jialan, the head of the long house, who took over, and at this time Baoyu will live in another room, facing such a dilemma, how can Mrs. Wang be embarrassed?In fact, since Jia Zhu's death, Baoyu and Jia Lan have objectively formed a competitive situation, of course, they themselves have not realized this, but it is the pimple in the hearts of their mothers, Mrs. Wang and Li Kun, and this has become a dark line to promote the development of the plot. There is one thing that Mrs. Wang still insisted on, that is, she tried her best to prevent Li Kun from getting involved in the stewardship of Rongguo Mansion. If Li Kun is allowed to take care of the house, once Jia Zheng dies, the head of Jia Zheng's house will inevitably be Jia Lan, who is assisted by Li Kun, and the status of Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu, the mother and son, will decline sharply.

Chapter 3 of the book:

If Mrs. Wang handed over the power to govern the family to Li Kun, once Jia Zheng died, the family would be taken over by Li Kun, because her husband Jia Zhu was the chief house of Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion, and her son Jia Lan was the eldest grandson of the long house. In order to prevent this situation, Mrs. Wang called Wang Xifeng to help with the housekeeper, and the transition period of this help will probably be until Baoyu gets married and a new daughter-in-law enters the house.

Chapter 5 of the book:

Jia Lan is the eldest grandson of Jia Zheng's first house, according to the feudal patriarchal system, he should be the natural heir, but Mrs. Wang's preference is Baoyu. If Li Kun is allowed to take care of the house, when the heir issue is unavoidable in the future, Mrs. Wang and Baoyu will be in a disadvantageous position.

Chapter 6 of the book:

As long as Baoyu is removed, Jia Huan may be on the throne. First of all, Jia Huan "deliberately pretended to miss and only pushed the oily wax lamp to Baoyu's face", intending to "burn his eyes with hot oil". As soon as the eyes are blind, everything is over, and the emperor definitely does not want to see a blind Rongguo Gong in the temple.

According to Mr. Chen Dakang's theory, there are major logical problems, which cannot be established at all. said that Jia Huan wanted to burn Jia Baoyu, "The emperor definitely does not want to see a blind Duke Rongguo in the temple" - first of all, this is very nonsense, if according to the system, Baoyu should attack the lord, as long as others are still there, which royal law stipulates that blind people cannot attack the lord?It was time for him to attack the knight, he was blind in two eyes and deaf in two ears, and he did not delay his attack. Secondly, should Baoyu attack the knight?Whoever inherits the title, the court has a system, it must be Jia Lian, then Jia Cong, then Jia Lan, and then Jia Baoyu, these are all hung up, and finally it will be Jia Huan's turn. What is the imperial court system?——

The order of the Qing Dynasty's family succession was the order of the eldest and youngest of the concubines. Article "Forty-seven ** Raid on the Shadow" of the "Decree of the Qing Dynasty" "Officials - Rank System": "All civil and military ** should be combined to attack the shade, and let the eldest grandson attack the shade." If the eldest grandson has a death, the second grandson will be in the shadow. If there is no second descendant, the eldest son of Fang Xu Shu will attack the shadow. The Qianlong Dynasty clearly stipulates the inheritance of the prince as: "First inherit with the descendants of the lord people, no descendants, inherit with the descendants of their own brothers, inherit without their own brothers and grandchildren, inherit with the descendants of their uncles, and inherit without their uncles. (Guangxu) "The Case of the Great Qing Huidian", vol. 1134, p. 280, photocopy by Zhonghua Book Company, 1991. Quoted from Lei Bingyan, A Study on the Seculiary Position of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, Central South University Press, 2006).

Therefore, remind Brother Huan - kill Baoyu, you can only say that you are competing for favor, at most for property, and ** to talk about getting the title?

And who is in charge, this is also simple, the big leader has the final say, no matter how your title is inherited, for example, the current title of Rongguo Mansion is obviously in the eldest Jia Yu, but the big leader Jia Mother dotes on her younger son, so the second Jia Zheng and his wife are in charge.

Therefore, if the current leader Jia Mu once returns to heaven, first Jia pardon Jia Zheng separates the family, the Jia pardon who attacked the lord returns to the main hall of Rongguo Mansion, and the unjustifiable Jia Zheng moves away, and then Jia Zheng's side of the matter, or Jia Zheng's wife has the final say, once Jia Zheng dies, Mrs. Wang will automatically upgrade the current ancestor, that is, the supreme leader, and its power refers to Jia Mu Shi Taijun.

Whether it is Zhu ** milk Li Kun, or Bao Er's grandmother Bao Chai is in charge, not according to the order of inheritance, but according to the meaning of the new old lady Mrs. Wang, she loves Baoyu, then Li Kun's mother and son can only continue to stand aside and copy the trajectory of Mrs. Xing during Mrs. Wang's reign. Don't underestimate the power of the "Queen Mother" of Jiafu, that is the real power of the Queen Mother, not a mascot. Otherwise, how can it be explained that Jia Yu has a knighthood, and his wife is still standing aside?That's not just a matter of the ancestor's words!

The officials of the patriarchal society crush people to death, that is, parents and sons and daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law go to their mother-in-law every day to remind you that the words of the elders are holy decrees, and you have no room to bargain with the elders!
