Jia Yucun is a ruthless and cold character in the Red Mansions.

Jia Yucun was originally a poor scholar, his family fell, had no choice but to settle in the gourd temple, to sell words for a living. He had empty ambition, but depressed, "jade in the casket for good price, hairpin in the trousseau waiting for the time to fly" is indeed a reflection of his personal situation.

He is quite talented, so he can be Lin Ruhai selected as Lin Daiyu's teacher. But he is also a greedy for profit, just made the official on the original face of all revealed, and he is bullying, offended a lot of people, was removed from office by the Senate.

Jia Yucun is a cold-blooded and heartless person. At the time of his disillusionment, Zhen Shiyin had helped him, not only to encourage him to go to gain fame, but also took out 50 taels of silver and two winter coats to him. But his reaction was very plain, the original text so described, "Yucun received the silver clothes, but a little thank you a word, do not mind, still eating wine and laughing."

The next day, Zhen Shiyin wanted to write two letters of recommendation with Yucun to bring to the capital to go, who knew that Jia Yucun has long gone, and did not face resignation. For their own benefactor, Jia Yucun's reaction is really some indifference.

In the Dream of Red Mansions, the fourth chapter of the "thin life of a woman meets a thin life of a man, the gourd monks to judge the gourd case," Jia Yucun kills people, indiscriminately sentenced to death, and show the heartlessness of the case. However, there is another point that better illustrates Jia Yucun's indifference and heartlessness.

The central character in this case is a girl who has been abducted by a kidnapper, Yinglian, the lost daughter of Jia Yucun's old acquaintance and great benefactor, Zhen Shiyin. He knew the girl's life, and also knew that Mr. Zhen's family was broken because of this daughter's loss, but he was heartless as if he didn't see it, and allowed the Xue family to take away the girl's bitter life. His ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness is chilling.

Expanded:

The loss of the original manuscript of A Dream of Red Mansions made it impossible for posterity to know the novel's epilogue and the endings of most of the characters. In the various versions of the sequel that have come down to us, the endings of the characters are not all the same. However, the deeds of Jia Yucun are very similar. This is mainly due to the fact that the original author has given enough hints in the general outline of the whole book in the first five times.

In the first book, there is a line in Zhen Shiyin's words of enlightenment: "Because of the small size of the veil hat, it leads to the shackle bar". Of course, this sentence may not refer to Yucun alone, but according to this speculation, Yucun's end will not run out of this sentence.

The Dream of the Red Chamber is a book of Zen, and although it is written in detail about the world, it is also a book of karma and karma.

Therefore, after Yucun has achieved a certain level of officialdom, he will definitely be slandered, so that old scores and new scores will be settled together, and it is hard for him to escape from prison. As for him before being convicted is with the Jiafu **** bitter, or in the Jiafu in trouble when the well is another thesis. There are also people by the sentence "hairpin in the trousseau waiting for the time to fly" speculation Xue Baochai will be married to Yucun, but ultimately feel that the evidence is not enough, do not dare to agree.
