1. Jia Yan and Jia Yuan, the two princes of Ning Mansion and Rong Mansion, should be brothers. And Jia Mu is the daughter-in-law of Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan. Therefore, among the existing characters in Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Mu is the senior one.
The question of respecting distant family tree connections is actually quite simple. If they were ordinary people, they would have become estranged from such a distant relationship, but they are from a prominent family, a "home of poetry, books and etiquette", so they are connected in political destiny. So their internal relationship is good.
2. The Zhen family and the Jia family are family friends. Zhen Shiyin has no relationship with the Zhen family. Jia Yucun and the Jia family are also connected through the same clan.
3-4. There is no need to carefully examine the age of the characters in Dream of Red Mansions. Because Cao Xueqin did not finalize the draft of Dream of Red Mansions, there are many errors about age in it. Not only the age of the Twelve Golden Hairpins cannot be tested, but even the ages of Daiyu and Baoyu cannot be distinguished sometimes when the age of Daiyu and Baoyu is carefully examined.
5. Xiren was later placed in the house by Mrs. Wang as Baoyu's aunt, so the monthly salary was quite high. Of course, it cannot be higher than Baoyu. In addition to the two taels of silver per month, Baoyu also needs pens, inks, paper and inkstones in addition.
6. One tael of silver is equivalent to two coins, which is equal to 1,000 coins, and so on.
7. Sister Qiao earns twenty taels of silver every month.
8. The question of age cannot be tested.
9. Sister Feng’s Wang family does not attach great importance to Wen’s education. You can tell by looking at the situation of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue. But because she was an accountant, she later knew some words, but she didn't know how to write or write.
1. The two princes of Ning and Rong, Jia Yan and Jia Yuan, are brothers. Jia's mother has the highest seniority, so she is the most authoritative parent. The two families originally came from the same house, and the genealogies of the four major families are explained in the "Guan Guan Talisman".
2. The Zhen family and the Jia family are family friends, Zhen Shiyin has no relationship with the Zhen family, and Jia Yucun and the Jia family are distant relatives, but this is what Jia Yucun himself said.
3. The ages of the characters in Dream of Red Mansions are quite confusing and meaningless, so there is no need to hold on to them.
5. Xiren was later appreciated by Mrs. Wang, who recognized her as Baoyu's concubine, and the two taels of silver a sling came from Mrs. Wang's monthly money and was not in the official position. On the surface. As for Baoyu's monthly money, it seems that it is more than two taels, and he can get it from the accountant at any time if he needs money.
6. For example, you will understand. It seems that twenty taels of silver is enough for a family of five to have enough food and clothing for a year. You can take a look. The monthly salary of Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou's maids is 500 yuan, which is probably equivalent to the current nanny. The minimum salary includes food and accommodation.
7. Generally speaking, there should be some, and these descendants all have them.
8. That’s not the case. Jialan is younger than Baoyu. Even if he is a posthumous child, it is impossible for Baoyu to be born after Jia Zhu’s death. Baoyu died when Jia Zhu was about one or two years old.
9. Baoyu itself is a special case. Because he was born with a jade in his mouth, he was "named Baoyu". This is explained in the second episode of "Leng Zi's Speech at Rongguo Mansion".
10. Because it was a common saying at that time that "a woman has virtue without talent", Daiyu was an only child, "and seeing that he was smart and comely", so the family let him study, "pretending to be an adopted son" . Baochai was because Xue Pan failed to live up to expectations. Xiangyun is also an only child. She stopped studying after her parents died. Sichun was born because it was the tradition of the Jia family for girls to study, and it was probably because of the reputation of the Shili family. Jia's mother did not really approve of girls studying.
Jia Zheng is the adopted son of Jia's mother, and Jia She is just Jia Zheng's brother.
As for the prototype of the Ning Mansion, of course it is still the Cao family. It seems that after the death of Cao Yin's son, another son succeeded him, but I can't remember clearly. Liu Xinwu told the Cao family's family background quite completely. You can see for yourself. Be serious and think about it more and you will know
The age order is:
Jiao Xing (Jia Yucun’s wife)
＞Qiutong (Jia She’s maid, Later given to Jia Lian)
>Xia Jingui (Xue Pan’s wife)
>Xiang Ling (actually Zhen Yinglian, Zhen Shiyin’s daughter)
>Second Sister You
＞Sister You (and Second Sister You are both sisters of Jia Zhen’s wife, Youshi)
＞Li Wen
＞Li Qi (and Li Wen is Li Wan’s sister)
＞Xue Baoqin (Xue Baochai’s sister)
＞Xing Xiuyan (niece of Jia She’s wife Xing’s wife)
＞ Lingguan (one of the twelve officials, interested in Jia Qiang)
＞Lin Hongyu (Lin Zhixiao’s daughter)
The Twelve Beauties of Jinling and a supplement: only written in the Dream of Red Mansions Qingwen and Hua Xiren, but later generations also summarized them as Ping'er, Jinyuanyang, Golden Eagle, Zicuckoo, Baiyu Chuan, Baijin Chuan, Siqi, Sheyue, Caiyun and Fangguan.
The age order is roughly:
Golden Mandarin Duck＞Ping'er＞Platinum Chai＞Golden Oriole＞White Jade Chai≥Hua Xiren＞She Yue≥Caiyun＞Qingwen＞Siqi＞Fang Official ≥ Zijuan
The ages of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling are quite different in the original book and the sequel, so they are all inferred~~~
4. In fact, it is difficult to tell the exact age ~! The protagonist Baoyu is 1 or 2 years younger than Baochai~!
This is a fragment of the Dream of Red Mansions in which age is recorded
