Question on Zhihu: If you were Lady Jia, how would you prevent the Rongguo Mansion from falling apart?
Answerer: Shi Miao, graduate student in agricultural science
Thanks for the invite. I'm in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, and I've just transmigrated into the widowed Lady Jia. I've read the book, and the Jia family's fate is awful. I'm done fighting it. Can I take everyone from the Rongguo Mansion and leave? Could the plot please give us a way out?!
The fake Lady Jia sighed at her half-grown sons. "You two are going to amount to nothing anyway, so let's go back to Jinling, buy ancestral land, and farm. Get it all over with in one go."
To Jia She: You don't have to do anything. Lie flat, don't cause trouble, and don't let me catch you fooling around with your friends. Go as far away as you can!
To Jia Zheng: I won't force you to study, and you can't force your sons to study, either. If you've got what it takes, pass the exams yourself!
To Jia Min: Sweetie, don't let the Lin family mess with your head. Their family has only had one heir in every generation, so the problem is with their seed. If your husband dies, then he's gone. The next one will be more obedient!
To Lin Ruhai: You sickly son-in-law, eat more meat, eggs, and dairy, and exercise!! If you dare mess with my daughter, I'll take charge and divorce you!
The result seemed to have the opposite effect...
Jia She: I want to make a name for myself!
Jia Zheng: I want to come top in the imperial exams!
Jia Min: Women should be self-reliant!
Lin Ruhai: Mother-in-law, do you think I'm good enough for her?
[The blurb for this novel]
Lin Ruhai died of a serious illness, leaving behind only a lonely ghost who watched his daughter Daiyu struggle to survive at the Rongguo Mansion. After being reborn, Lin Ruhai came to his senses. His family was wealthy enough, and if he spent carefully, he could lie flat like a lazy fish and live a few more years, raising his daughter Daiyu properly.
And so...
His classmates burned the midnight oil and studied day and night, all to pass the imperial exams and bring glory to their families.
Lin Ruhai: "Let them study. Let them burn the candle at both ends. I'm going to rest. As the last son of the Lin family, I'm going to bed first."
His mother worried he'd be lonely, so she prepared beautiful young women to keep him company and sent maid after maid to his room.
Lin Ruhai: "No thanks. Daiyu's mother is the one who'll have the children, anyway. Shoo, shoo, shoo! I'm going to take care of my health."
The political factions were at each other's throats, with ministers openly fighting and arguing.
Lin Ruhai: "By all means, keep fighting and competing, gentlemen. Excuse me, I'm busy getting off work and taking care of my child!"
The four great families tried to pressure and entice him into joining them.
Lin Ruhai: "All that talk of sharing good fortune and misfortune, of everyone rising and falling together. Don't bother me while I'm being a lazy fish! Back off! Back off! Back off!"
But then...
Lin Ruhai didn't like gathering with other people.
The Emperor: "My dear Lin is pure and upright, dignified and refined!"
Lin Ruhai never did anything himself if he could get someone else to do it.
The Emperor: "My dear Lin knows how to make the best of people's talents, manage his subordinates, and recommend worthy men!"
When Lin Ruhai had nothing to do, he planted a vegetable garden at home.
The Emperor: "My dear Lin studies agriculture for the good of the country and its people!"
Lin Ruhai: What on earth went wrong? I'm slacking off! Can't any of you see that?
At the age of thirty-seven, after a lifetime of being a lazy fish, Lin Ruhai became a regional governor by a twist of fate. Holding his little daughter, who had just turned a hundred days old, he spoke earnestly:
"Yu'er, let me tell you: life is about lying flat. Only a lazy fish can turn its fortunes around."
"Ah-poo!"
Little Daiyu pursed her lips and blew a bubble.
Core message: Stay true to your original aspirations, and you'll reach your destination.
The author has physical problems and limited energy. I will update a chapter at 12 noon every day in April. Thank you for your support ~
Finished with flowers. Following the story all the way, I expected it to be a light-hearted skit at first, hoping that the girls would have a "good ending", but I didn't expect it to become more serious in the end, and I got an unexpected surprise. Since Daiyu came out of the cage, I could vaguely feel that the author's wife's mood seemed to have changed, as if she, my sister and the author's wife had cleared away the clouds and mist that obscured their glitz and happiness, and opened their eyes to see the world together. I hope my wife will not be offended by this speculation. Personally, I especially like the ending of the last two chapters. Jia She looks back on the changes in things and the world has changed suddenly after a hundred years. It has a great sense of lens, history and fate. The rhythm of the text is just right. I can't help but cry while reading, but my heart feels calm and open. The mountains are long and the rivers are far away, so let's say goodbye. I wish my wife everything will go well from now on, and I hope we will see you again in the future.
It's funny. When it comes to talented people, isn't her own daughter Lin Daiyu the most talented person? Will it also make other families restless? How can you think so? I believe that the characters in the original novel would not have such an idea. Can you and your son be together if you marry a talentless person? The three cognitive patterns are different
After Daiyu goes abroad in the future, she can leave the affairs of the domestic society to Tanchun, and Baochai can also do it. You can co-organize a monthly magazine with them and publish what you see and hear abroad.
I feel like I didn't pay much attention to Lin Ruhai's affairs.
Jia Lan is also a fucking person who only waits for others to order food, and he is also stingy.
Isn't my mother's sister my sister-in-law? Why is she sister-in-law? My sister-in-law is my father's sister
Why does Yu'er have no cp? I think the prince is pretty good. I'm so angry.
Aunt, it's my sister-in-law, why is she my sister-in-law?
Well, my sister and Tanchun bravely go to the end of the world. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. They may not be able to take over the real power of the Guangdong General. If the old eleven fights for words, Yingchun can be the backing in the court. Baochai is not lovable, but he has talent. If he wakes up, he may be able to seize the power of the Xue family and use it as a money bag (ah, although there is a high probability that it is my dream (I still have to have dreams))
