Chapter 0002: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy
After a cool shower and clothes by the well in the backyard, the meal was ready. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info here is the Tieji Temple, the food is naturally vegetarian, maybe everything is fragrant when you are hungry, or maybe the vegetables here are not polluted by chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so Jia Min feels that the taste is still very good.
A rough envoy took Jia Min to a room in the side courtyard, where he was going to spend the night tonight.
At this time, Jia Min felt settled. Even though I was lying in bed, I couldn't sleep.
Coming to this strange and familiar world of Red Mansions, if he could fall asleep immediately, then his heart was too big.
Now that you're here, you have to think about living. Compared with the highly developed modern society, it is undoubtedly very backward. But so what? Can we go back?
Since there is no other way to go, you can only choose to survive in this world.
Although he arrived at the noble family of Jiafu, he became one of the masters here. However, the fate of Jiafu gradually declined, so that it was finally raided, exiled, and finally ended up with a family almost ruined.
From this point of view, it is not a good thing to travel to Jiafu. Although "Dream of Red Mansions" said that the family only copied Ningguofu, not Rongguofu, and finally returned the copied family property.
But who knows what will happen when the time comes? Will the fate of Jiafu definitely follow the direction of the book in the end?
It turns out that there is no illegitimate son of Jia Min in the book, and now it also appears, isn't it? It can be seen that the pattern and direction set in the book are not destined to remain unchanging.
Moreover, even according to the original established trend, the ending of Jiafu is really not good. The family property is ruined, the income is beyond the means, the loans are everywhere, the people are withered, and there is no successor .......
In short, the situation is still very serious.
The key problem is that the current Jia Mansion has not foreseen this step at all, and there is no sense of crisis at all. They all enjoy themselves in arrogance, luxury, drunkenness, dreams and death, and die collectively.
He only lived 27 years old in his previous life, and Jia Min is only 15 years old now. In that sense, there is still a long way to go. You shouldn't have to finish playing early.
So, what's next?
It's nothing more than a few roads.
One is to take the broken boat of Jiafu, which has leaked everywhere, and follow them with the current.
From the conversation with the mother-in-law just now, I learned that the Grand View Garden has not yet been built, and Jia Yuanchun is not a concubine. Therefore, Jia Fu still has a few years of good life.
When the Grand View Garden exhausted the financial resources of Jiafu and became the last straw that crushed the camel of Jiafu, Jia Yuanchun died again, and then he finished playing with them and handed over his fate to the unknown.
The second way is to leave Jiafu and cut them off as soon as possible. Save yourself from putting yourself in it in the future.
However, this road is by no means easy.
First of all, this is a family patriarchal society, and everyone actually has no independent personality, they are all members of the family. Not to mention the attitude of the people in Jiafu, people in society, no matter where they go, treat you as a member of the Jia family.
Secondly, this is a society of joint sitting, and if someone in the family commits a major crime, he will be connected with the nine clans. You said that you have nothing to do with Jiafu, but the emperor doesn't think so. Cutting the grass is the logic of his thinking, and he doesn't care about killing one more person.
The third way is to try to reverse the fate of Jiafu and avoid being raided, and finally end up with a clean ending where all the birds fly away.
This path is the best, but it is also the hardest and least likely.
Judging from the current situation, there is no such figure in Rongning Erfu who can take on the task of ZTE. So, who will turn the tide of fortune? Rely on me? Do I have what it takes?
Even if I am like a time-traveling character in an online novel, with modern knowledge and foresight, I can thrive in a backward world, but will they give me this opportunity?
The answer is, no.
The evidence is strong.
Don't talk about it far away, just say that you will come to Jiafu this time.
When Jia Min arrived in Tongzhou, he was poisoned by Zhou Rui. The reason is very simple, that is, he is unwilling to let him enter Jiafu.
Zhou Rui is just a subordinate, naturally he doesn't have the courage or motive to kill, there must be someone behind him.
Who instructed it? Zhou Rui is Mrs. Wang's companion, so she was naturally instructed by Mrs. Wang. Why did you kill Jia Min? Naturally, he was afraid that he would threaten Baoyu's heir status.
can threaten Baoyu's status, as well as Jia Huan. However, Jia Huan is a concubine, not only does Mrs. Wang look down on him, but his own ability and reputation are also very poor. Even Jia Zheng can't look down on him, let alone Jia Mu and other people up and down the Jia Mansion.
Therefore, Jia Huan's status and future in Jiafu have actually been positioned. He was no longer a threat to Baoyu. With or without Baoyu, Jia Huan cannot be the successor of Jiafu in the future.
Judging from Jia Huan's personality and ability, even if he is given the position of successor, he can't afford this heavy responsibility, and he really can't do anything good except to make Jiafu decay more quickly.
Therefore, Jia Min, who appeared at this time, became the character that Mrs. Wang would like to get rid of. Even if he didn't die this time, he wouldn't let it go in the future.
Judging from the title given to Jia Min as "Fourth Master Min", this is also proven.
Jia Zhu is the eldest died, and then Baoyu, the second master, came out. Jia Huan is the third master, although he is a concubine, but Aunt Zhao is still there, and she is still favored by Jia Zheng. From the perspective of kinship, it is also closer than Jia Min.
From the perspective of age, even if Jia Min is not ranked before Baoyu, at least he should be ranked before Jia Huan, and he should be the third master. However, he was ranked as a fourth master, which shows that his inheritance order is still after Jia Huan. This is the arrangement that will marginalize him.
From the perspective of kinship, Baoyu is a descendant, Jia Huan is a concubine, and Jia Min is purely a wild species.
In fact, it can be seen from the attitude of Jia Lian and his subordinates along the way. Jia Lian didn't treat him Jia Min as a brother at all, and the subordinates didn't treat him as a master at all.
Jia Min even suspected that even if he was picked up this time, it would be the result that Jia Fu had to accept because he was confined to his face and pinched his nose.
In Jia Mansion, Jia Huan, the second heir, has been marginalized, not to mention Jia Min, who is ranked after Jia Huan.
If you don't fight for power, Jia Min has no interest in this. So, take a step back and be a rich idler.
It seems that this road does not lead either.
With Jia Huan's status, the monthly example is only 2 taels of silver, which is only one more than the big girls such as the raider. Even these two taels are often deducted or defaulted by Wang Xifeng. Although the officials are responsible for food and clothing, after all, they are still the masters, and they have to pay attention to some decent things. This can be seen from Aunt Zhao's frequent economic crises.
Therefore, it is impossible to be a rich idler.
Moreover, with his marginal status and bleak prospects for the future, it is likely that in the future, the elders will casually set him a family affair and send him away.
As for the top beauties here, Daiyu, Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin, Miaoyu, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen, Li Qi, and Qin Keqing will not take him seriously at all.
It's hard to cross over, if something doesn't happen to these beauties, wouldn't it be in vain?
Because of inheriting the genes of the courtesan's mother, Jia Min's appearance is still very good. looks dignified, only 15 years old, and his height is nearly 1.7 meters. However, this is not an era of eating with your face, and this advantage cannot be brought into play.
Although Jia Huan is a concubine, after all, he is a native of Jiafu, a local faction, and he can be regarded as a legitimate third master. However, it is not welcome.
Why? It has a lot to do with his mother being Aunt Zhao. His uncle Zhao Guoji is also only a long-term follower.
Jia Lan is the eldest son, the eldest grandson, and the eldest great-grandson, but he seems to be a transparent person in Jiafu, and only his mother Li Kun carefully guards him all day long. The real power factions in Jiafu, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, etc., don't seem to take him seriously.
When he finally took the imperial examination, Baoyu was lost, and even the minion who attacked people dared to reprimand Jia Lan, which shows his low status.
Conversely, why is Baoyu's status so high? Because he is the son of Madame Wang. Behind Mrs. Wang is the Wang family, one of the four major families, and her brother Wang Ziteng is the leader of the four major families.
Although Wang Xifeng has some talents, he has talent but no virtue, and he has done a lot of corrupt things, and he is not held accountable for doing bad things. Why is the status in Jia Province so high? Or is it because she is behind the Wang family.
Therefore, if you want to mix in the circle of Jiafu, you still have to pay attention to your maternal background.
Needless to say, Jia Huan's father was originally the son of the country and was considered a high-ranking official, but he was already dead, and his mother's family had no power.
As the daughter-in-law of the long branch, Mrs. Xing should have more say than Mrs. Wang, but this is not the case, because her mother's family has no power and background.
In addition, Jia Zhen's wife You Shi and the peerless stunner Qin Keqing Qin Da Meiren are all like this. Just imagine, if Qin Keqing had a maiden backer like the Wang family, and borrowed Jia Zhen's two guts, he would not dare to harass this daughter-in-law.
What about Jia Min? In this regard, even those above are inferior.
My mother was a courtesan, and at that time, the social status was very low, and it was simply incomparable to modern society. Grandma's family is just a rural farmer, and she has to rely on her mother, who is a courtesan, to help from time to time.
In Jiafu, there is also a black eye, no one knows anyone, and there are powerful enemies. The political father who scolded his son as a "bad animal" all day long couldn't be counted on. Even Baoyu was either beaten or scolded by him, let alone others.
If I'm in a bit of trouble, I won't even have someone to speak for me.
No status, no fame, no money, no background, no fame, no connections...... nothing.
Thank God that people brought you to enjoy the food, and you still want to get ahead, what kind of rich idler? Those top beauties, let alone count on it. Even if you become a leftover girl, it won't be your turn.
In this idle egg hurt, fighting all day long in Jiafu, who will give you a chance?
