Ever since I finished writing "The Manpin Red Mansion", I have always felt that there is still more to it, but I don't want to stare at the first eighty chapters and chew on it over and over again. It is really boring to write a bunch of words that are as graceful as the footsteps of an old lady. After thinking about it, I wanted to continue it for forty times to enjoy it, but I was worried. I knew it would definitely be a dog-tailed beast, so why bother asking for trouble? After struggling for a long time, it suddenly became clear one day. Everyone in "A Dream of Red Mansions" knows that the bright line of Bao Dai's love is just a cover, and the hidden line that sometimes appears and disappears is the event involved by Cao Gong. In this case, it is better to bring out this hidden line and connect it in the name of Jia Lian, because Jia Lian It is the main line of communication between Ning Rong and the outside world. Whether it is the internal relations between the four major families or the external relations with colleagues in the officialdom, Jia Lian is the specific operator; and because of Wang Xifeng's relationship, Jia Lian's authority can also be extended to the inner house, allowing the trivial matters in the inner house to reflect changes in the external environment. That's why I boldly wrote this book "The Biography of Jia Lian", integrating some of my usual experiences from reading "The Red Mansion", and at the same time implementing some of the conjectures in "The Manpin of the Red Mansion". It can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes!
Concept: Bao Dai's love affair is the bright line of the development of the plot of Red Mansion, while Jia Lian's line of action is the hidden line of the rise and fall of Ning Rong's second house. Whether it is the internal relationship between the four major families or the external contact with colleagues in the officialdom, Jia Lian is the specific operator; and because of Wang Xifeng's relationship, Jia Lian's authority can also be extended to the inner house, allowing trivial matters in the inner house to reflect changes in the external environment. Therefore, telling the story of Jia Lian is the best entry point to understand the prosperity and decline of the big tree in Jia's family.
