"Whenever there is a reunion, the sunny light protects the jade fence. The sky is full of sunny light and the jade fence is full of sunny light. The sky is full of sunny light and the world looks up."

The Dream of the Red Chamber

The Dream of the Red Chamber opens with two people who have little to do with the Jaffa House: Jia Yucun and Zhen Shiyin. Let a lot of people who are not too familiar with the Dream of Red Mansions greatly confused. Why did Cao Xueqin write this way?

In fact, although Jia Yucun and Zhen Shiyin do not seem to have much to do with the House of Jia, they are also y involved. Zhen Shiyin is the person who brings out the real story, in fact, what happened to Zhen Shiyin also implies the future of the Jiafu. In fact, what happened to Zhen Shiyin also hints at the future of the Jia government. Moreover, through Zhen Shiyin, Xiangling and the monks and nuns were introduced.

And Jia Yucun need not be mentioned, although compared to the Grand View Garden in the crowd, Jia Yucun's appearance is very little, but he is a person through the entire storyline, Jia House happened a lot of major events are related to him. So, Jia Yucun is also a crucial character.

And Cao Xueqin skillfully explains the character and personality of Jia Yucun indirectly through the encounter between Jia Yucun and Zhen Shiyin, as well as Zhen Shiyin's help to Jia Yucun.

The Scholar's Encounter with a Nobleman

Jia Yucun was a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exams, and because of the exhaustion of his traveling allowance, he had to live in the Huludiao Temple, where he relied on the sale of calligraphy and paintings to get by every day. However, selling paintings and calligraphy like him is not enough to make up for the expenses of going to the capital.

Because the Hulu Temple is next door to the Zhen Mansion, and Zhen Shiyin is a generous and sociable person, so he often interacts with Jia Yucun. In fact, Zhen Shiyin also saw that Jia Yucun did not have the money to go to the capital, so he landed here, and he has always had the idea of subsidizing Jia Yucun.

It is just that Zhen Shiyin knows how much the scholar loves face, and is afraid that giving money directly to Jia Yucun will be a bit abrupt, so he has not mentioned this matter. Until the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhen Shiyin heard Jia Yucun read a poem to himself, he still decided to mention this matter. Jia Yucun's poem said:

The reunion takes place on the fifth day of the third month of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the sunny light protects the jade fence.

There is a wheel in the sky, and all the people look up at it.

When this poem came out, Zhen Shiyin realized that Jia Yucun would surely have a great career, so he offered to subsidize Jia Yucun's expenses for the examination. Although the literati have pride, but Jia Yucun is not an ordinary person, he did not hesitate at all and gladly accepted.

But what is unexpected is that after Zhen Shiyin gave Jia Yucun 50 taels of money, he did not even thank him, and he did not even call to say hello, but he left directly. Jia Yucun practice, completely inconsistent with common sense, why he wants to do it? In fact, Cao Xueqin intentionally. It is to let the reader, see this to understand Jia Yucun is what kind of person.

Jia Yucun why not thank you also left overnight

In fact, on this issue, it is not so difficult to see, I think there are three main reasons:

Jia Yucun, although he had no choice but to accept Zhen Shiyin's financial assistance, but its literati bones are still there, is the feudal society, those acid literati's fault is actually still in the. He wants to save face, but in the way of the vision of the future helpless to accept the gift of Zhen Shiyin, but the heart is still very uncomfortable. Therefore, did not say thank you, also did not know a night and left. Like the book Jia Yucun left Zhen Shiyin words, the literati do not care about these details, regardless of his yellow road, the black road always to the matter. To say a little more, this is called into a big man not stick to the small details. And the Aixu version of the fat batch wrote: "write Yucun, really make people refreshing ah."

And in the writing of Zhen Shiyin to Jia Yucun silver and clothing, Jia Yucun did not thank you just continue to drink, a Hundred and Eleventh Edition of the fat batch and wrote: "write Yucun is really a hero". In fact, it is not difficult to see, Lip Yan Zhai this is full of irony and flirtatious tone, writing is the big opposite. Although it does seem to be a good excuse for Jia Yucun to leave without saying goodbye, but also in turn illustrates the person of Jia Yucun.

From this incident, we can see what kind of person Jia Yucun is. He was a selfish, ungrateful, opportunistic and corrupt person. It is precisely because of this that there was the later huludao monks misjudging huludao cases, and there was Jia Yucun who killed people in order to flatter the Jia government. And even see the decline of the Jia government, down the well of Jia Yucun.

For his own interests, this guy has done everything. Without Zhen Shiyin Jia Yucun where can go to the capital to catch the examination, but such a big favor, knowing that Yinglian is Zhen Shiyin's daughter, but watched her being sold to Xue Pan that bastard.

One such Jia Yucun, got Zhen Shiyin 50 two silver, do not say thank you, will leave without saying goodbye is not much of a surprise.

Conclusion

Yan Shiyin's ending foreshadowed the end of the Jia family, while Jia Yucun witnessed and experienced the defeat of the Jia family from beginning to end. Cao Xueqin, through the plot of Zhen Shiyin's delivery of the coils, wrote in advance for what Jia Yucun did later.

Moreover, the reader is allowed to understand in advance that Jia Yucun will fall in the well at the time of the defeat of the Jia House, and there is nothing to such a person as Jia Yucun, it is just a normal operation.
