Jia Zheng and Mrs Wang have three children, Jia Yuanchun, Zhu Jia and Jia Baoyu. Jia Zhu, the eldest son, died and Jia Yuanchun, the daughter, was elected to the palace. Therefore, Jia Baoyu is actually the only son who is with him. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang may have different views on Jia Baoyu, but on the whole they are quite consistent. This is manifested in the fact that when Mrs. Wang first entered Jia's house, she said to Lin Daiyu, "I was born in a bad family, and I am a monster in this family ... Your sisters dare not pollute him ... If one day their sisters ignore him, he will be quiet, even if it is boring, but he will come out." If the sisters say one more word to him on this day, he will be happy in his heart, and many things will happen ... He will be sweet-talking and crazy and stupid, so don't believe him. "In addition, there are two words of" Xijiang Yue ",which also highly summarizes the views of Jia Zheng and his wife on Jia Baoyu:
Looking for sadness and hatred for no reason sometimes seems crazy. Even if you are born with good skin, your stomach is rough. Poor and ignorant, stupid and afraid of reading articles. It is a slander to the world to behave in a remote and perverse way!
Being rich does not know happiness, but being poor is miserable. There is no hope of living up to the good times at home and abroad. The world is incompetent first, unparalleled in ancient and modern times. Send a message to wan ku and Gao Liang: don't affect this style!
All the above comments on Jia Baoyu are Jia Zheng's so-called feudal orthodoxy. In their view, Jia Baoyu is undoubtedly the "curse" and "evil obstacle" of the landlord class. This is because Jia Baoyu has always refused to read the so-called sage books, to participate in scientific research, and to associate with bureaucrats like Jia Yucun.
Second, Jia Baoyu in the eyes of Lin Daiyu
Lin Daiyu is the most trusted person of Jia Baoyu. They are like-minded, childhood friends. Although they sometimes stumble and even Lin Daiyu cries from time to time, they are really a rare pair of bosom friends. To this end, Jia Mu once called them "two little enemies". But the two of them still loved each other from beginning to end, and it was hard to give up. So, in Lin Daiyu's eyes, what kind of person is Jia Baoyu?
The third time, Lin Daiyu first came to Jiafu, and Jia Baoyu was the last person to know her. When they met, the novel described it like this: "... a young son came in." A purple and gold crown is embedded in a bundle of hair on his head. Qi Mei is holding two African claws to grasp the amount of beads, wearing two-color Kingdee big red arrow sleeves, colorful flowers and long tassels, wearing azurite with colorful satin tassels, and boarding the green forging foundation boots. If the face is like the mid-autumn moon, the color is like spring flowers, the sideburns are cut with knives, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the eyes are like peach petals, and the eyes are like eyes. Laugh when you are angry, and be affectionate when you are angry. " When Jia Baoyu saw his mother, Mrs. Wang, and put on makeup and then saw Daiyu, in Lin Daiyu's eyes, Baoyu was already another person: "The short hair around her head has formed a small dividing line, HongLing has passed, and her hair sticks to the top. The editor-in-chief big braid is as black as paint. A little down from the top, a string of four big beads fell into the corner with eight treasures. Wearing a semi-old coat with red flowers, and carrying a collar, Baoyu, name lock, amulet and other things; Below, there are semi-exposed pine flowers, embroidered silk trouser legs, embroidered ink socks and thick red shoes. The more you look at it, the fatter your lips are. I expect to feel more, and I often laugh between words. Natural coquettish, all between the eyebrows; There are thousands of feelings in life, and I am aware of the corner of my eye. Looking at its appearance is the best, but it is difficult to know its details. " This is Lin Daiyu's first impression of Jia Baoyu. In this first impression, Jia Baoyu is a charming, lively and lovely image of a rich boy in Lin Daiyu's eyes, and it seems familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. So she thought to herself at that time: I often heard her mother say, "My second aunt has a cousin who is born with jade, is stubborn and abnormal, hates reading very much, and likes hanging out with her best;" Grandma is so doting that no one dares to take care of it. "When I haven't seen this cousin, I really believe it. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I am deeply suspicious. I think these statements are quite different from Baoyu I saw with my own eyes. So after that, she and Jia Baoyu shared the same interests, and their feelings became deeper and deeper, and finally they rose to the love of life and death.
Third, Jia Baoyu in Xue Baochai's eyes
In Xue Baochai's eyes, Jia Baoyu is a very complicated figure. Xue Baochai is a lady image in feudal society. She is widely read, virtuous and filial, generous and considerate, so she is widely appreciated by people. She and Jia Baoyu are cousins, and her mother Aunt Xue and Baoyu's mother Mrs. Wang are siblings. She is two years older than Jia Baoyu. Xue Baochai was also born in one of the four big families in Jinling and was very rich. In addition to her hometown in Jiangnan, her family also has many properties and shops in Kyoto. Her father died, and there are only three people in the family: mother and brother Xue Pan. The reason why her family went to Beijing to join the Jia family was to send Baochai to Beijing to choose, but in fact it was to send Baochai to the Jia family to marry Jia Baoyu.
Xue Baochai has a golden lock. When she was a child, a wicked monk went to their home and told her parents that Baochai must marry a man with jade in the future, so that her marriage would be happy. Later, Jia Baoyu happened to have a piece of jade. Therefore, both the Xue family and Mrs. Wang believe that Baoyu and Baochai are godsend. So Baochai's mothers came to Jiafu.
For Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai doesn't like his character and personality, especially Baoyu's refusal to read sage books and participate in scientific research. She tried to persuade him, but Baoyu disliked her and went his own way. She also laughed at Baoyu and said he was "busy" or something. But as a lady in feudal society, she mainly gave Baoyu tolerance and consideration, but she also gave him a lot of care and consideration at ordinary times. Because she was convinced that Jinyu had a good marriage, she absolutely obeyed her parents' arrangement and decided that Baoyu was her husband for life.
Fourth, Jia Baoyu in Qin Zhong's eyes
Qin Zhong is not only Jia Baoyu's junior, but also a bosom friend. He was originally Qin Keqing's younger brother, so Jia Baoyu should be called "Uncle" according to his seniority. After Qin Zhong met Jia Baoyu through his sister, with the help of Baoyu and Xifeng, he finally realized his wish to go to Jiafu Academy and became close friends with Jia Baoyu. Since then, when he was studying in Jiafu Academy, he and Jia Baoyu ate, lived and studied together, and were inseparable and very close. Some even suspect that he and Jia Baoyu may be gay. Unfortunately, Qin Zhong is also short-lived. Shortly after he went to Jiafu to go to school, he followed his sister Qin Keqing's life in his early years. His death was due to puppy love with the little nun intellectual in Shantou Temple. So, in Qin Zhong's eyes, what kind of person is Jia Baoyu?
When he first met Jia Baoyu, Qin Zhong saw Baoyu's "outstanding description, elegant manners and delicate maids and children embroidered with golden crowns" and thought, "Sure enough, Baoyu can't blame everyone for spoiling him. I hate that I was born in poverty and couldn't make friends with him. It can be seen that the word' rich and poor' is limited to people and is also a great misfortune in the world. " This is his first impression of Baoyu, and his admiration for Jia Baoyu is revealed between the lines. But what he envies is Jia Fu's wealth and Jia Baoyu's happiness. He thinks he is the son of a wealthy family who has enjoyed all the happiness. In future contacts, he further believed that Jia Baoyu was a trustworthy friend although he was born in a famous family. Therefore, when he was dying, he later said to Jia Baoyu, "... you and I used to think that we were better than others in the world, but today I know I was wrong." In the future, you should long for fame and glory. "Although this may not be what Baoyu likes to see," people are dying, and their words are good. "At least Qin Zhong did spit out his heartfelt words when he still regarded Baoyu as a bosom friend until his death. Generally speaking, in Qin Zhong's eyes, Jia Baoyu is the nobleman he admires and trusts most.
5. Jia Baoyu in the eyes of the Northern King Jingshui God
The water god of King Jing is the representative of the political forces closest to the Jia family in the palace, and he is several years older than Jia Baoyu. Although Jing Wang of Beijing is young, he is a "virtuous king, handsome, romantic and chic" and very knowledgeable. After Qin Keqing's death, the King of Beijing and Jia Baoyu met formally on the way to attend the funeral. Although he was prominent at that time, he was courteous and courteous to the Jia family, and especially asked to meet Jia Baoyu, who was born with jade. After seeing Jia Baoyu, King Jing of Beijing dissolved in water, and saw Jia Baoyu wearing a silver crown, pulling Shuanglong out to sea to scratch his forehead, wearing a white python arrow sleeve and a silver belt, which looked like spring flowers. Eyes like paint. So he smiled and praised: "It's well-deserved, as beautiful as flowers and jade." Then I carefully looked at Baoyu's psychic Baoyu and asked if it had any effect.
In the conversation with Baoyu, King Jing of Beijing thought that Jia Baoyu had a clear pronunciation and excellent conversation. He praised Baoyu in front of Jia Zheng and said, "Feng Chu, your son is really a dragon pony! If Xiao Wang hadn't been abrupt in front of the world, in the future,' Little Phoenix is clearer than Old Phoenix'. " You see, King Jing is still familiar with Baoyu. He thinks Jia Baoyu is very unusual and will have a bright future. Then, he put forward his own views on Baoyu's cultivation and education. He said to Jia Zheng, "This is just one thing. If your son is so talented, I think the old lady's generation naturally likes it. " However, after our generation, it is not appropriate to be submerged in the clock; Zhong drowned and neglected his studies. Xiao Wang was trapped in this situation yesterday, and it may not be better to think of your son. If your son can't study hard at home, he might as well go to cold places often. Although Xiao Wang has no talent, he has gained the attention of many celebrities in the sea. People in Beijing have always looked down on him, so he often gets together with the first group of experts to greet him. Your son often goes to lectures, so he can learn more. Since then, I have had many contacts with Jia Baoyu and sent many gifts. "。 The relationship between them is extremely close. It can be seen that King Bei Jing not only values Jia Baoyu, but also is very close to Baoyu, and can be called a pair of like-minded friends. According to research by some redologists, King Jing of Beijing is a monarch who has many hobbies and interests with Jia Baoyu and has no political ambitions. This is probably because he loves Jia Baoyu.
Six, Jia Baoyu in the eyes of Wang Xifeng
Wang Xifeng is the niece of Jia Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang. In this relationship, they belong to the relationship of cousins. But then Xifeng married Jia Lian, who was Baoyu's cousin, so Jia Baoyu also called Wang Xifeng his sister-in-law. Because Wang Xifeng won the favor and trust of Mrs. Wang and was good at flattering and pleasing the old lady, she became the real power figure of Guo Rongjia. In A Dream of Red Mansions, the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu is very harmonious and intimate. On many occasions, you can see two people often together. For example, when Wang Xifeng wants to visit Qin Keqing in Ningguo Mansion, she always takes Jia Baoyu with her. Also, after Qin Keqing's death, on the way to the funeral, Wang Xifeng not only took Jia Baoyu from beginning to end, but also specially led Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong to spend the night in the steamed bread temple. At ordinary times, Wang Xifeng also takes care of Jia Baoyu everywhere, which is very considerate. She does this because Jia Baoyu is really his brother and brother-in-law. Second, she knew that Jia Jia and Mrs. Rainbow liked Jia Baoyu very much. If she cares about Baoyu, she can win their favor, trust and reuse herself more, that's all. As far as Jia Baoyu is concerned, he attaches great importance to Wang Xifeng's talent in management. After Qin Keqing's death, Jia Zhen tried every means to hold a big funeral, show off his wealth and remember the dead. But at this time, I don't know why, Jia Zhen's wife You Shi suddenly said that she couldn't be a director. Just when Jia Zhen was at a loss, Jia Baoyu recommended Wang Xifeng to him and asked her to help Ning Guo Fu. Later, as expected, Wang Xifeng managed Ningguo House in an orderly way, getting rid of many long-standing disadvantages of Ningguo House, and got unanimous praise from Rongning House and Rongning House.
In fact, Wang Xifeng knows Jia Baoyu best. She once said that Jia Baoyu was "not our goods". She knew that Jia Baoyu had nothing in common with herself. So Jia Baoyu is obviously different from her.
Seven, Jia Baoyu in the eyes of You Sanjie.
You Sanjie is Jia Zhen's wife and You Sanjie's stepmother's daughter. You Sanjie and her sister, Second Sister You, are actually neither the same father nor the same mother as you. After the death of Youmu, You Laoniang remarried Youfu with her ex-husband's two daughters, so the two sisters changed their surnames to Youfu. That's the case. You Sanjie and Jia Baoyu didn't know each other originally, because Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jing, died of alchemy poisoning outside the city. At the funeral, You invited You Laoniang's three mothers to look after the house, so they met formally. You Sanjie learned something about Baoyu by observing him at ordinary times and introducing his family. As far as You Sanjie's identity is concerned, although she is not a servant of the bottom of society, she is not a respectable lady or lady. Through constant contact with Jia family members, especially the month when she followed her mother to Ningguo House to help Jia Zhen and his wife look after the house, and after Jia Lian and Jia Rong secretly married Second Sister You as the mistress behind his wife Wang Xifeng, she got a fundamental understanding of the whole Jia family and all the characters. She not only saw through the corruption of Jia family, but also admired and worshipped Jia Baoyu. When Jia Fu's minions and servants introduced Baoyu's madness to her and her second sister, she clearly expressed her different views, especially her appreciation and admiration for Jia Baoyu's character and style.
Eight, Jia Baoyu's slave Xing Er
Xinger is Jia Lian's confidant and Jia Jia's slave. Some of these slaves were slaves of the Jia family for generations, and some were children of poor families bought by the Jia family from outside. No matter what kind of characters they are, they are generally uneducated, poor in quality, short-sighted and mercenary. Their duty is to serve the master well, obey the master and let him kill them, and they have no rights and freedoms at all. Therefore, in addition to serving the master wholeheartedly, it is a common fault of these slaves to flatter their masters, be cunning and be subservient to Nuo Nuo. In their eyes, Jia Baoyu is not like a master. He is always hanging out with his daughters, and he is crazy from time to time. These are things that they don't understand or even look down upon. Xinger thinks Jia Baoyu is "the most worthless person in the world".
Indeed, Jia Baoyu, a typical figure, not only has the habit of a playboy of the feudal landlord class, but also denies many fundamental problems, such as "official career economy", "advocating reading", "remonstrating death" and "fighting death", which contradict traditional values and do not meet the requirements of mainstream society. He is the image of a feudal rebel. Such people are not only disliked by these slaves, but also looked down upon by Jia Baoyu's father Jia Zheng, so they basically have no hope for Baoyu.
Nine, Jia Baoyu in the eyes of Jia Yucun
Jia Yucun, known as the "traitor", was born in a family of literati, but in Jia Yucun's generation, his family was very poor because of his family's decline. After living in Hulu Temple, he met Zhen, and with his support, he was admitted to the Beijing Jinshi, and he entered the official career. At the beginning of his career, he was impeached and dereliction of duty due to inexperience. During this period, because of his depression, he had to travel around Jiangnan to get rid of his worries. One day, he had an outing outside the city and met his old friend Leng Zixing, who used to specialize in antique trading in Beijing, in a hotel. Leng Zixing gave him some news about Beijing, especially the situation of Jiafu. When talking about Jia Baoyu, he said it was strange that Baoyu was born with jade. As he grows older, he only hangs out with girls every day. What else did he say? "Daughters are made of water and men are made of mud. I feel refreshed when I see my daughter. When I see a man, I feel turbid and unpleasant. " Leng Zixing also said that it's no wonder that when his father Jia Zheng was two years old, in order to test his future ambitions, "he put countless things in the world around him. Who knows that he didn't take anything, but reached out and grabbed some powder and hairpin rings, which made the political master very angry after reading it, so he concluded that he was "the ear of debauchery in the future" and lost confidence in his education.
Jia Yucun listened to Leng Zixing and said, "No! It's a pity that you don't know the origin of this person. The old-timers about politics are also mistaken for womanizers. If you don't read much and don't know things, you can't know. " Then, he talked with Leng Zixing about the truth, saying that people in the world are generally divided into "great benevolence" and "great evil". "Great benevolence" comes into being, and "great evil" comes from robbery. In his view, Yao, Shun, Yu, Kong and Meng were all born for robbery, while Jie, Zhou, Qin Shihuang and Cao Cao were all born for robbery. He also said that Qingming Lingxiu was originally the meaning of heaven and earth, and it was possessed by the benevolent. However, this collision between healthy qi and evil qi sometimes leads to a situation that neither a benevolent gentleman nor an evil gentleman. He believes that if such people are born in rich families, they will often become infatuated; If you are born in a poor family of poetry and books, you will become an expert; If you are born in a poor family, you will become a famous prostitute. He said that poets, poets, painters and artists all belong to this category. These people naturally do something else in society. They may not have made great achievements in the political, economic and military fields, but they often have made great achievements in the cultural and artistic fields. Therefore, these people should not be completely denied.
Before that, Jia Yucun didn't know Jia Baoyu. He just learned the general situation of Jia Baoyu from Leng Zixing, gave him full affirmation, and was the first to say that Jia Baoyu was "infatuated" and "in love". It should be said that his views are correct, insightful and valuable.
Jia Baoyu in the eyes of Shi Ning and Gong.
Readers may find this proposition very ridiculous after reading it. Because when Jia Baoyu was born, Ning and Rong were already dead. They didn't know there was such a precious grandson, so there was no "Jia Baoyu in their eyes". Isn't this nonsense? However, careful readers may still remember that when Jia Baoyu fell asleep for the fifth time, the police fairy first showed Baoyu the original books, supplementary books and supplementary books of the twelve women in Jinling, and then came to a good place where "the golden tower of Zhuhu Lake was rocked with light and the window was made of jade", and there were "fragrant flowers and different grasses" everywhere. With the alarm of the fairy, "Come out to meet the distinguished guests", before the words were finished, I saw several fairies with "lotus clothes fluttering, feathers fluttering, beautiful as spring flowers and charming as autumn moon". Who knows, after meeting Baoyu, everyone complained that the police phantom fairy said, what distinguished guest, didn't my sister say that she came from the living soul of Sister Jiang Zhu? Why did such a muddy thing come down? Don't let him pollute our quiet daughter's territory! The policeman Phantom Fairy said to them, "You don't know why. Today, I wanted to go to collect pearls, passing by Ningfu, and I met the souls of Ning and Rong, saying,' My family has made a fortune since the national dynasty. Although it has been a hundred years, it is irreparable, so there are many descendants, but there is no inheritance. One of them, Sun Baoyu, is perverse and treacherous in nature. Although he is clever and wise, he is likely to succeed, but my family's luck is coming to an end, and I am afraid that no one will introduce him. Fortunately, Xiangu comes occasionally, hoping to warn her of her stupidity with eroticism, lewdness and other things first, or let her jump out of the charming circle and then step into the right path. This is also my brother's luck. " ……"
Here, the novel clearly conveys the ancestors' full affirmation of Jia Baoyu through the words of the warning fairy in Baoyu's dream, indicating that Jia Baoyu is the only grandson who can inherit the family business as long as someone guides him correctly. This completely negates the so-called orthodox conclusion of Jia Baoyu, including Jia Zheng, and its significance is very far-reaching.
