Jia Enhou of the Red Chamber

The author should really make things difficult for Grandmother Jia. Now, in Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction, no one dares to mess with her. What is she anyway? Jia She is the most powerful man in the Duke's mansion; how could this old hag possibly cause trouble?

Jia She stirred things up by having Jia Lian hold up Jia Daishan's memorial tablet. Does anyone in the entire Rongguo Mansion have a rival in that? They're practically invincible!

For a nobleman like Jia She, filial piety wasn't that important, and the principle of obeying one's son after the husband's death was not a lie. If Jia She wanted to, he could simply imprison Grandmother Jia, and no one would dare or be able to say anything.

Using the clan chief's authority to counter filial piety is the only way out; nothing else can be dealt with in feudal society. Filial piety can be a death sentence!

What's so appealing about Jia She, who's over forty? He has no connection with the Twelve Beauties. The Three Rivers region is losing its prestige.

Ancient times were truly a patriarchal society. Did they really think they could do whatever they wanted just because they were filial?

Once you're here, don't leave. 🙂

Many authors who write fanfiction about *Dream of the Red Chamber* deliberately exaggerate the authority of Grandmother Jia, portraying her as a "superior lady," the wife of a duke, and the highest-ranking woman. They then use the emphasis on filial piety in *Dream of the Red Chamber* as a justification.

Wearing Jia She's clothes, Lin Daiyu is immediately out of the running, Xue Baochai is probably out of the running too, and the four Spring Sisters are even worse—99% of the chances are dashed. I'm impressed; to get a contract with this kind of start is pure luck. Brother, please accept my deepest respect!

Was it really that difficult to kill an old woman in ancient times?
