In the second time, Mrs. Jia died in Yangzhou City, and Leng Zixing gave a speech in Rongguo's mansion, saying that Jia Yu had two sons, but only said Jia Lian, Jia Yu's other child, without mentioning a word, which made people more curious.
In fact, there is a description of Jia Cong's other son Jia Cong in the book, see how it is written in the book. Dream of Red Mansions
Let's see how Leng Zixing speaks about Rongguo Mansion first:
Zixing said: "After Zhenggong has Yu'er, his concubine gave birth to another, but I don't know how good it is." I only have two sons and one grandson in front of me, but I don't know what the future holds. If you ask the forgiveness of the father, there are also two sons, named Jia Lian, who has been in contact for more than 20 years now, and is married to the niece of the Wang family, the wife of the political father, who has been married for two years.
After saying this, it was Jia Lian's wife.
This Lian Ye is now donating a fellow acquaintance, but he also refuses to study, and he has a good chance on the road to the world, and he can talk, so now he only lives in Uncle Nai's house, helping with some housework. Who knew that since marrying his wife, there is no one who does not praise his wife, and Lian Ye has regressed: he is extremely standard in appearance, sharp in speech, and extremely deep in scheming, and he is a man who is not as good as one. ”
After Leng Zixing finished speaking, Jia Lian directly began to talk about Wang Xifeng.
There are two reasons for this. First, this Wang Xifeng is the key character in the book, one of the twelve hairpins in Jinling. Second, in ancient times, it was important to pay attention to the husband as the wife, and it was normal for the husband to lead out the wife after speaking.
But after saying Wang Xifeng, Leng Zixing stopped talking and didn't follow. So who is Jia Lian's younger brother? The answer is found in the book.
In the fifty-eighth chapter of the book, the apricot yin fake phoenix cries the phoenix, and the truth of the screen window is written:
Coincidentally, this day is the day of Qingming, Jia Lian has prepared for the next annual sacrifice, and led Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Lan to the Tiejian Temple to burn paper, and Jia Rong of Ningfu also went to the same clan to hold sacrifices. Because Baoyu has not healed, he has never gone.
On Qingming Day, Jia Lian took the people from Rongfu to Tieji Temple to worship, who did he bring? Except for Jia Baoyu, who couldn't go for some reason, he brought Jia Huan, Jia Cong and Jia Lan. Jia Rong of Ningfu also led individuals from the clan to the sacrifice.
It can be seen that the Qingming sacrifices in the two mansions of Ning Rong are separated. Jia Cong is obviously from the Rong Mansion. And take a closer look at who are the three people Jia Lian brings? Jia Lian, as Jia Yu's own son, brought two people who were Jia Zheng's own son and grandson. Then the other Jia Cong must not be a side branch of Rongfu.
Look at the seventy-fifth episode again, the night banquet omen is sad, and the new words of the Mid-Autumn Festival are well described:
When Jia Zheng and the others heard this, they didn't know what to do, but said: "This is the right reason." The text is wrong, and Wu should also be used to it, and the situation is in the genus of Wu Yin. Then he also ordered Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Lan and other four people to come over after dinner to follow Jia Zhen and practice shooting before allowing him to go back.
Jia Cong is once again on a par with Jia Huan and Jia Lan, and this time there is one more Baoyu. Once again, it proves that Jia Cong's status should not be a side branch. And judging from the order of appearance, Jia Cong's age should be between Jia Huan and Jia Lan, significantly smaller than Jia Lian.
In the fifty-third time in the book, the Chinese New Year's Eve Sacrifice Ancestral Hall of Ningguo Mansion and the two appearances in the Lantern Festival Banquet of Rongguo Mansion are also with Jia Lian.
It can be seen that Jia Cong is Jia Yu's other son, and he should be a concubine.
Why do you say that Jia Cong is a concubine? Jia Cong's appearance, except for the New Year's Festival, has several appearances mixed in the crowd, and two solo appearances, hinting at Jia Cong's status as a concubine.
For the first time in the twenty-fourth chapter of the book, drunk King Kong is light and wealthy, and the ** child is lovesick.
When I saw Jia Yu, I just felt a little cold. first recounted what Jia's mother asked, and then asked for peace by himself; Jia Yu stood up first and replied to Jia's mother's question, and then called someone: "Bring in my brother and sit in the wife's house." Baoyu withdrew, went to the back, and went to the upper room, Mrs. Xing saw it, and stood up first to ask Jia Mu's An, and Baoyu Fang asked for An. Mrs. Xing pulled him to sit on the kang, asked others, and ordered someone to pour tea. Before the tea was finished, I saw Jia Cong come to ask Baoyu how he was. Mrs. Xing said: "Find a live monkey there!" Your wet nurse is dead, and she won't clean up. You have black eyebrows and black mouths, and you still look like a child studying in a big family? ”
This time I wrote, Jia Yu occasionally felt cold. Baoyu went to visit Jia Yu on behalf of Jia's mother. Here are some of the rules in the general environment at that time. Jia Baoyu went to see Jia Yu on behalf of Jia's mother, and the first thing she represented was Jia's mother. Therefore, Jia Yuhe and returned to Jia's mother through Baoyu to stand up. Mrs. Xing, when she saw Jia Baoyu, she had to ask Jia's mother first, Jia Baoyu first accepted her gift for Jia's mother, and then she was herself, and then asked Mrs. Xing again.
This is just like the eunuchs who preached the holy decree in ancient times, reading the holy decree, accepting the courtiers to bow down on behalf of the emperor, and after the courtiers received the holy decree, they each returned to their own identities.
Having said that, Jia Cong's age is between Jia Huan and Jia Lan, in this case, Jia Cong's age is definitely younger than Jia Baoyu. It stands to reason that when the elder brother comes to the yard, it is normal to ask for peace when the younger brother comes. At this time, even if Mrs. Xing didn't praise Jia Cong for keeping the etiquette, she shouldn't speak in a sinister tone.
However, at this time, Mrs. Xing's tone carried obvious disgust and disgust. Then there is only one possibility - Jia Cong is not the son of Mrs. Xing, but the concubine born to a concubine by Jia Yu.
The second time is in the sixtieth chapter of the book, where jasmine powder replaces the rose nitrate, and the rose dew leads to the cocos cream.
The two of them came back, just as Jia Huan and Jia Cong came to greet Baoyu, and they went in. Baoyu didn't have anything to talk about with Conghuan, so he asked Fang Guan with a smile: "What is in your hand?" ”
It is written here that Baoyu has nothing to talk about with Conghuan. It can be seen that the relationship between Jia Baoyu and Jia Cong is not very good, at least the daily life of the two will not have much communication. And why is Jia Cong with Jia Huan? Because Jia Cong is also a concubine like Jia Huan, her grandmother doesn't hurt her in the house, and her mother doesn't love it.
The same are all marginal characters in Jiafu.
Jia Cong only appeared in the New Year's Festival, and occasionally appeared once or twice, but he was still disliked, and his presence in Jiafu was not as good as Jia Huan.
Therefore, when Leng Zixing gave a speech on Rongguo Mansion, he only said that Jia Yu had two sons, and he didn't say much about the rest.
