The Big Boss of the Red Mansion

The ages of many characters in Dream of Red Mansions are not revealed. Even the ages of Baochai, Baoyu and Daiyu are not directly stated, but there are still many clues. We all know that Baoyu is younger than Baochai, but older than Daiyu, so what is the exact age difference between them? Here I find it for everyone to see. In the second chapter of the book, "Mrs. Jia passed away in Yangzhou City, Leng Zixing gave a speech at Rongguo Mansion", it is written: It's a pity that the Lin family's branches are not prosperous and their descendants are limited. Although there are several families, they are just the same family as Ruhai, and there are no direct relatives. Ru Hai is now forty years old and has only one three-year-old son, who died last year. Although he had several concubines, he was destined to have no children, so there was nothing he could do. Today, only his legitimate wife Jia has given birth to a daughter named Daiyu, who is only five years old. This clearly mentions that Daiyu was five years old at this time. Because he heard that Lu Zheng wanted to hire a foreign guest, Yucun asked his friends to help him get in and make a plan to settle down. The wonderful thing is that there is only one female student and two maidservants who accompany him to study. This female student is young and very timid. There is no limit on the number of work classes, so it is very labor-saving. It took another long time, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Jia, the mother of the female student, died of an illness. The female student served soup and medicine, and mourned the whole mourning, so she left the library and said goodbye. Lin Ruhai wanted his daughter to stay in school, so she kept him. Recently, the female student was grieved and injured. She was timid and sickly, and she had an old illness, so she did not go to school for several days. Living in Yucun was boring. Whenever the weather was nice and sunny, I would go out for a walk after dinner. It is written here that Jia Yucun applied to be Daiyu's tutor. After exactly one year of teaching, Daiyu's mother Jia Min died of illness. Then Daiyu was six years old at this time. Daiyu was too sad to study. Jia Yucun wanted to resign, but Lin Ruhai kept him. It's just that Daiyu was too sad and didn't go to class for several days. So Jia Yucun took time out for a walk. While taking a walk in Yucun, he met Leng Zixing. The two chatted about what they had seen in the capital, and Leng Zixing talked about the affairs of Ning and Rong. Regarding Jia Zheng's house, Leng Zixing said this: The first-born son of Mr. Wang, wife of Mr. Zheng, was named Jia Zhu. He entered school at the age of fourteen. He married and had a son before he was twenty. He died of an illness. The second child gave birth to a young lady, who was born on the first day of the lunar new year, which was strange. Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a young man later, which was even more strange. As soon as the baby was born, a piece of colorful crystal jade came into his mouth, with many writings on it, so he named it Baoyu. Strange to say, now he is seven or eight years older. Although he is very naughty, he is not as smart as one in a hundred. Here Leng Zixing mentioned that Baoyu is now seven or eight years old. What he said is approximate. Baoyu's exact age at this time should be seven (Daiyu will say this later). After Jia Yucun and Leng Zixing finished chatting, the two stood up to pay the bill. When Fang was about to leave, he heard someone from behind shouting: "Brother Yucun, congratulations! I came here to bring you good news." When Yucun hurriedly looked back, he saw it was none other than Zhang Rugui, a colleague who participated in the case that day. He was originally from this place and lived after the revolution. Now after asking about the letter from Du Zhongzhong, he was sure to be reinstated. He then looked around for love and connections, and suddenly met Yucun, so he hurriedly expressed his congratulations. When Leng Zixing heard this, he hurriedly came up with a plan, and ordered the central government of Yucun Lin Ruhai to turn to the capital to harass Jia Zheng. Yucun understood what he meant, said goodbye and returned to the museum, where he hurriedly looked for his residence and reported the truth. I quoted the above unrelated incident just to explain that this was after Yucun met Leng Zixing, which was actually the same day. The next day, Yucun faced a sea of ​​conspiracies. Ru Haidao said: "By chance, Jing Jing passed away. The mother-in-law of the capital city thought that her little daughter had no one to rely on for education, so she sent a man and a woman's boat to pick her up. Because the little girl had not fully recovered, she did not have time to go. At this moment, I am thinking about the kindness of Meng Xunjiao, which has not been repaid. How can I have this opportunity? There is no reason to fail to repay your efforts. But please don't worry. I have already prepared a letter of recommendation and asked my brother-in-law to help me. I can only show my sincerity. Even if there are expenses, I have already stated it clearly in my brother-in-law's letter, so I don't need to worry about it. " Ruhai Nai said: "We have chosen the second day of the lunar month for my daughter to enter the capital, so my brother will go on the same road. Wouldn't it be inconvenient?" Yucun only obeyed the order and was very proud of his heart. Ruhai then packed up the gifts and sent them away, and Yucun received them one by one. So when the day came, Yucun accompanied Daiyu to Beijing to Jia's mansion. It can be seen from the above that Jia Yucun went to see Lin Ruhai the day after meeting Leng Zixing. Lin Ruhai informed Yucun that Jia's mother would take Daiyu over to take care of her. In order to repay Yucun for teaching Daiyu, Lin Ruhai had written a letter trusting Jia Zheng to help Yucun recover. At the same time, Tuoyu Village will take care of Daiyu on the road. They will go to Kyoto early next month, that is, in the same year. In other words, the year Daiyu came to Jia's house, she was six years old. In the third chapter of the book, Daiyu arrives at Jia's house on her first day. After Daiyu paid a visit to Jia's mother and others, Mrs. Here is the conversation between Mrs. Wang and Daiyu, as follows: Mrs. Wang said: "Your uncle has gone to fast today. Goodbye. I just want to tell you: Your three sisters are all very good. From now on, I will give in to reading, reading, needlework, or even the occasional joke. But I don't worry about it. The most important thing is: I have a troubled child, a 'devil incarnation' in my family. He went to the temple today to fulfill his vows and has not come back yet. You will know when you see him in the evening. You sisters will not dare to mess with him." Daiyu also often heard her mother say that her second aunt had a cousin who was born with a jade in his mouth. He was extremely naughty and hated studying. He liked to hang out in the closet. His grandmother was extremely doting and no one dared to care about him. Now that I saw Mrs. Wang say this, I knew it was this cousin she was talking about. Yin laughed and said, "What my aunt is talking about is this brother born from Xianyu? When I was at home, I heard my mother often say that this brother is one year older than me, and his nickname is Baoyu. Although he is very naive, he said that the relationship between sisters is very good. Besides, when I come, I will naturally only live with my sisters. The brothers are naturally in another house, so how can I mess with him?" Here, Daiyu clearly said "this brother is one year older than me", because Daiyu was six years old at this time, which means that Baoyu was seven years old (that is, as Leng Zixing mentioned above, he is now seven or eight years old, to be precise, he is seven years old). At this time, the ages of Baoyu and Daiyu became clear. So Baochai's age is also mentioned below.

Let's talk about the day after Daiyu arrived at Jia's house. When she got up, she saw Jia's mother, because when she came to Mrs. Wang's place, Mrs. Wang and Xifeng were unpacking letters from Jinling. Mrs. Wang's brother and sister-in-law sent two daughters-in-law to talk. Although Daiyu didn't know the whole story, Tanchun and others knew that they were talking about Xue Pan, the son of the Xue family's aunt who lived in Jinling City, and killed people by relying on wealth and power, and was now being tried in the Yingtianfu case. Now that his maternal uncle, Wang Ziteng, had obtained the information, he sent people from his family to tell them, hoping to elicit the intention of coming to Beijing. It can be seen from this passage that Xue Pan beat someone to death, robbed Xiangling, and took Aunt Xue and Baochai to Beijing at this time. In the fourth chapter of the book, it is written that Jia Yucun took Lin Ruhai's letter and met with Jia Zheng, and he had already granted Yingtian Mansion a supplementary award, which happened to handle Xue Pan's case. Since his recovery relied on the help of the Jia family and the Wang family, and the Xue family were relatives of the two families, he decided the case randomly. When Rimenzi and Jia Yucun talked about the case, they mentioned Xiangling: Menzi said: "This kind of kidnapper steals five or six-year-old children, raises them in a secluded place until they are eleven or twelve years old, measures their appearance, and takes them to other places for resale. Back then, we coaxed him to play with him every day. Although it has been seven or eight years, now that he is twelve or thirteen years old, although his appearance is better, his general appearance has not changed, and it is easy for acquaintances to recognize him. Menzi revealed that Xiangling was Zhen Shiyin's daughter Yinglian, and that Xiangling was twelve or thirteen years old at this time (remember this first, there will be explanations later). The book goes on to write: There is no mention of Yucun at the moment. Let us also say that Mr. Xue, who bought Yinglian and beat Feng Yuan to death, was also from Jinling. He was originally a scholarly family. It's just that Mr. Xue lost his father when he was young, and his widowed mother pity him for being an orphan, so she spoiled him and indulged him, which led to his failure. Moreover, his family has a millionaire, and he now uses the internal funds to buy miscellaneous materials. Mr. Xue, whose scientific name is Xue Pan and whose nickname is Wenlong, is only fifteen years old this year. He has a luxurious temperament and arrogant speech. Although he had gone to school, he only knew a few words, and all he did was fight cocks and horses and travel around the mountains and rivers all day long. Although he was an imperial businessman, he had no idea about the affairs of the world. However, relying on his grandfather's old friendship, the household department used a false name to receive money and food. The rest of the affairs were handled by his own assistants and family members. The widowed mother Wang is the sister of Wang Ziteng, the current Jiedu envoy of Beijing Camp, and Wang, the wife of Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion. They are sisters from the same mother. She is about forty years old this year and has only one son, Xue Pan. There is also a girl, two years younger than Xue Pan, whose nickname is Baochai. She has smooth muscles and bones and elegant manners. His father was there at that time, and he loved the girl so much that he made her read and write ten times better than her brother. The above words introduce the situation of the Xue family, in which the ages of Xue Pan and Baochai are clearly stated: Mr. Xue's scientific name is Xue Pan, whose surname is Wenlong, and he is only fifteen years old this year; the Wang family (Aunt Xue) also has a daughter, two years younger than Xue Pan, whose nickname is Baochai. Xue Pan was fifteen years old and Baochai was two years younger, that is, thirteen years old. The disciple above said that Xiangling was twelve or thirteen years old, so he should be thirteen years old accurately. Because in Chapter 63 later, when Qunfang celebrated her birthday, she mentioned that Xiren, Baochai, Xiangling, and Qingwen were the same age. So in the fourth chapter, Baochai and Xiangling are both thirteen years old. This is also consistent with what Menzi said. After reading the above comparison, the conclusions drawn are as follows: Daiyu was 6 years old when she entered Jia's house, and Baoyu was one year older than Daiyu, at 7 years old. Baochai came to Beijing in the same year, when she was 13 years old (Xue Pan was 15 years old). Did you see that Baochai is 6 years older than Baoyu? When Baochai turned 15, Baoyu was only 9 years old! No wonder Mother Jia wanted to celebrate Baochai's birthday when she was fifteen, a real reminder that it was time for a blind date. It's no wonder that when Taoist Zhang proposed marriage, Jia's mother said that Baoyu should not marry early. Even if the monk didn't say this, Baoyu was indeed very young. There is such a big age difference between Baochai and Baoyu, and it is really shameless for the Xue family to dare to create a pretense of a good relationship. If the Jia family had not been completely ruined later, Xue Baochai would definitely have been the second Fu Qiufang, an old girl who could not get married even after reaching the age of twenty-two or thirty. Later, when the two got married, Baoyu was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The heroine travels through the Red Mansion, and her identity is Jia Jing's mother, Xichun, who died in childbirth in Ningguo Mansion! ? Although he is still alive! ? But she was pregnant with Xiao Xiaochun for six months, and she had to give birth even if she didn't have a baby. She had to have a baby even if she did... This book tells the story of a series of actions taken by the heroine in order to change the final outcome of the Ning and Rong mansions and the Twelve Beauties of Jinling! He also pried the emperor's heart into his heart and made him cherish the world! /I didn't expect it. Jpg/ It's finished, don't worry and watch~ The author's writing style is very good. In the past, I didn't understand many things about Dream of Red Mansions. This book gave me a good answer. I can't help but want to read Dream of Red Mansions again? /A face of resistance. Jpg/ In the end, the author originally wanted Baoyu and Daiyu to be together (I really wanted to, too), but because of the blood relationship, I decided not to do so. /Crying. Jpg/...

"The Master of Red Mansions" is my first exposure to the "Dream of Red Mansions" fan fiction. I just flipped through it at first, but I didn't expect that the writing is refined, the plot is smooth, the characters are vivid, and the overall control is well-controlled, making people immersed in it. This different "Red Mansions" does not involve time travellers, systems, and nonsensical plots. Instead, it is combined with the background of the original work to allow everyone in the Jia family to embark on different paths due to different choices, which is full of expectations. What I most hope is that all the twelve beauties of Jinling will be beautiful and have a stable life. I especially hope that Daiyu will find a good home - after all, the Baoyu in the original novel may not be a good match... The "paper full of nonsense" is still there, but the "heartbreaking tears" are no longer there. Ha ha. No more words, I will continue reading!

The author analyzes the reasons for the Jia family's ending and the process of self-rescue. I have never read "A Dream of Red Mansions", I only know the general plot. After hundreds of years, some people are still studying the Red Mansions. It must be the charm of the Red Mansions! And this "The Master of the Red Mansion" should be the author's re-creation of the Red Mansion, and it is worthy of careful study. I read a lot of novels, and I can usually comment a few sentences on them. But after reading this book, I feel like a noob in many ways, and I feel like a clown in my past. I think I still don't understand this book, I don't dare to comment too much, I want to say something but I don't know what to say. At first, I admired the author's writing ability, control of words and research on Red Mansions. The red building is used as the background, which invisibly fills in a lot of settings. The characters, large and small, are rooted in the "real" background, making them appear more full and vivid. It can also bring out more settings from the original work. Later, I admired the author's transparency and intention. The writing is easy to understand and very close to life. I feel it can inspire people and even provide reference for solving problems. If you have time, it is worth studying in detail. However, I feel that I cannot imitate or apply it directly, because there are too many coincidences in the book that can smoothly promote the development of the story, while real life is often full of twists and turns, and most of them fail midway... Maybe I read faster later on, but I always feel that the second half is different from most of the previous ones. I don't know why, but at least the later part doesn't take much effort on my brain. Below are some touching sentences that I copied down.

It's obvious that the last dozen or so chapters have nothing to do with Red Mansion and have evolved into pure feminist literature.

It's really good to read, but I regret that I read it too early. I should have read a few hundred chapters before reading it. Now it's just heart-breaking

I only found out about writing a new book after the recommendation of Song of Thorns. The author used to write about immortals, warriors and cultivators, but it's still good to read if I change the genre.

Not bad, not bad, very beautiful. I was fascinated by it, but it was too little. It would be nice to have more. Highly recommended! ! !

I have always enjoyed reading Tan Zi's articles! The same goes for this article. I was holding back from the beginning so as not to get into the trap. I always wanted to save more and read more. As a result, I couldn't hold it any longer. I read these dozens of chapters in one breath... Tanzi's stories always scratch my heart and lungs! Moreover, the language always goes straight to the point, without any unnecessary unnecessary talk... A refreshing article should be
