Jia Tanchun, Jia Zheng's daughter and Baoyu's sister, ranks third in the family and is called Miss San.
Tanchun is an ordinary girl. Her biological mother is Aunt Zhao.
Before talking about Tanchun, it is necessary to talk about common girls. Ordinary girls have a low status in a family. Even if the biological mother is an aunt, she can't be called mother, only her father's first wife can be called mother, because nominally, illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters are the children of the first wife. So Tanchun has always called Aunt Zhao Aunt Zhao.
Ordinary women are not at the same level as their first daughter in terms of status, treatment, upbringing and marriage, and the power of life and death is completely in the hands of the first mother. And ordinary servants will look down on them because of their concubines.
This is the living condition of ordinary women.

However, Tanchun is very popular with her first mother, Mrs. Wang, and her grandmother, so she is no different from her eldest daughter in treatment. However, she met an unreasonable biological mother-Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao is a simple-minded woman. According to the description in the book, she used to be a servant girl of the Jia family, and later she was promoted to an aunt and became a semi-master. Fortunately, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. I think if she keeps her position, her life in Jia's house will not be too sad.
But Aunt Zhao has no brains at all, and never thinks about her children. Therefore, Mrs. Jia Huan left the upbringing entirely to Aunt Zhao, which is also rare in a big family.
If Aunt Zhao is a little sensible, she should be happy for her daughter and provide her with whatever help she can when she sees that her daughter is loved by everyone in the Jia family. After all, a daughter grows up when she is well, doesn't she? If you look closely, you will find that Aunt Zhao has been involved several times, and many people will hide Tanchun's face. However, Aunt Zhao is not smart. When she saw that Tanchun's life was a little better, she had to get some benefits quickly and let Tanchun take care of her. I'm afraid others don't know that Tanchun is an ordinary girl who crawled out of menstruation's belly. She keeps reminding Tanchun how humble your background is. Don't think that you have flown to the branches and become a phoenix. "Without feathers, you forget the roots, just take off the tall branches and fly away." Actually, you're not a sparrow crawling out of my mother's stomach. No matter how capable you are, I didn't give birth to you. If you were just better, you would forget my mother.
Such a mother feels terrible when she thinks about it now. She has no ability to provide protection for her children within her power, and she can't rest assured that she won't cause trouble to her children. Instead, she tried her best to get something from the child, so in this way, she pulled her daughter who had just flown out back to an unbearable situation bit by bit, and she forced the child to slowly dilute that little fertility.
This is the biggest pain of Tanchun. The person who strips the most vulnerable side of your heart is your own mother. The person who turns her back on herself regardless of face is her own mother. She reminds you all the time how unbearable, humble and despicable you are. I think this is her greatest helplessness and sadness. She said to Aunt Zhao, "Why bother coming! Who doesn't know that I am the son of my aunt? It will take two or three months to find out the reason, and I will thoroughly toss it for a while. I'm afraid people don't know, and I deliberately confess! I don't know who gives who no face. " But she still felt sorry for Aunt Zhao, so in the jasmine powder incident, she stopped the maid at the first time and took Aunt Zhao away to comfort her. It's just that her love is so stupid that Aunt Zhao didn't see it.
Even if his mother is stupid and his brother is incompetent, Tanchun himself has not stopped his upward steps.
Although she is an ordinary woman, even if everyone looks down on herself, she never looks down on herself. She tried her best to preserve her dignity as a noble lady.

She has an ace in the hole. She is fair and sticks to her principles.
Wang Xifeng is ill. She helps manage the housework.
However, she met the death of Zhao Zhi, the younger brother of her biological mother Aunt Zhao, and Wu, the daughter-in-law of the old housekeeper, who deliberately made things difficult for her, and did not mention the past. Tanchun decided to reward twenty taels of silver according to old scores.
Aunt Zhao was very angry and resented her daughter for not giving more money. Go to Tanchun's house and importune.
Aunt Zhao said, "Everyone in this room stepped on my head to pay me back. Think about it, girl You should take it out on me. " As he spoke, he began to cry with tears and runny nose. Tanchun said quickly, "I don't know who my aunt is talking about. Who stepped on aunt's head? I will take it out on menstruation. " Aunt Zhao said, "Since the girl stepped on me, who should I tell!" Tanchun stood up and said, "I dare not." Li wan also stood up and advised. Aunt Zhao said, "Please sit down and listen to me. I've been cooking in this room for so long, and you and your brother are not as good as attacking people at the moment. What face do I have? Even you have no face, let alone me! " Tanchun smiled and said, "So that's it. I said I dare not break the law. " After sitting down, he showed the accounts to Aunt Zhao and read them to her, saying, "This is an old rule handed down by our ancestors. Everyone abides by it, can't I change it? " Not only attacks people, but Huan-erh will be the same as attacks people in the future. This is not a matter of fighting for the big and the small, nor can it be said to be shameful. He is my wife's slave, and I abide by the old rules. It is said that it is well done, thanks to the grace of ancestors and the grace of his wife. If it is unfair, it is his ignorance and he has to complain himself. My wife even gave the house to someone else. I have nothing to be ashamed of and I have nothing to be ashamed of. Personally, my wife is not at home, so menstruation should rest. Why bother? My wife is full of love for me, because menstruation is often noisy and chilling several times. I am a man, but I can go out. I will leave early and set up my own business. At that time, I had my own reasons. I'm a girl's family, and there's nothing to say. My wife knows all this. Now because of being valued, let me do housework. Menstruation came to humiliate me before I could do something good. If your wife finds out, she's afraid I'll be embarrassed and leave me alone, then she'll be ashamed, even her aunt! "At some point he couldn't help crying. Aunt Zhao had no other correct answer, so she said, "Madam loves you, and the more you pull us. You only care about your wife's pain and forget about us. Tanchun said, "How could I forget?" ? How should I pull it? This also asks each of you, who is the one whose master needs help without suffering? That good man was pulled? "Li Wan there to persuade," aunt, don't be angry. I can't blame that girl. He wants to pull his heart in. How can he say it in his mouth? Tanchun said quickly, "This eldest sister-in-law is also confused. "。 Who am I pulling? Whose girl is pulling a slave? You should know that their goodness has nothing to do with me. "Aunt zhao asked angrily," who told you to drag others? "If you are not in charge, I won't ask you. Now you say one is one, two is two. Now that your uncle is dead, you gave me twenty or thirty taels of silver, and your wife won't listen to you? Obviously, my wife is a good wife, and it's all your vitriol, but it's a pity that my wife has nowhere to make it. Don't worry, girl, it won't cost you a penny. I will leave the cabinet tomorrow, and I want you to take extra care of the Zhao family. Now that there are no feathers, I forgot the roots and just picked the tall branches and flew away! " Tanchun didn't finish listening, his face turned white and he choked with anger. He sobbed and asked, "Who is my uncle? My uncle will be promoted to the ninth provincial inspection next year. Where did another uncle go? I am used to respect, and I respect these relatives more and more. In that case, why did Zhao stand up and go to school with Huan-erh when he went out? Why not take out my uncle's money? Why bother? Who doesn't know I'm an aunt? It will take two or three months to find out the reason, and it will be completely ruined. I am afraid that people will not know and deliberately confess. I don't know who is ashamed of who. Fortunately, I still understand that anyone who is confused and unreasonable is anxious. "
This is the helplessness of Tanchun. Aunt Zhao said, cherish spring to freshen up.
There are three or four little maids holding a bathtub, a towel, a target mirror and so on. Tanchun was sitting cross-legged on the low couch at this moment, and the maid came up to her with a basin. She knelt down and held the basin high. Two little maids also knelt down, holding towels and mirror powder. Pinger saw that Daishu was not here, so she hurried up and took off her bracelet with Tanchun, and put a big towel on Tanchun's skirt. Tanchun reached out and took a bath in the basin.
Pinger is waiting by. I especially like the lady style of Tanchun.

She is far-sighted and will never agree with the turbidity of this world.
When she heard that Wang Xifeng was coming to raid the Grand View Garden, she told the maids to light the door and open the box herself, saying, "You can search my things, but you can't search my maids. I used to be more vicious than others. I know everything about that girl. I put it in my room. They didn't collect a needle or a thread, and they only came to search me when they wanted to. If you don't comply, go to see your wife and tell her that I have violated my wife. What should I do? I'll get it myself. "
Tanchun suddenly found a problem: don't be busy, you will naturally copy it one day! You didn't say anything about Zhen's family when you got up early today, but your family's property is good. You really copied it today. We are coming gradually. It can be seen that if such a big family is killed from the outside, it will not die for a while. This is what the ancients said, "A hundred-legged worm dies without being stiff." You have to kill yourself from home to be defeated! "(seventy-four)
Said, and shed tears. I always think that Tanchun is a smarter woman than Wang Xifeng to some extent, because she sees the fate of the whole family.
Tanchun said after searching, after searching mine, no more searching is allowed. If it's not enough, search again, or it won't be searched tomorrow.
Wang Shanbao's wife is Mrs. Xing's escort, and Tanchun is just an unmarried woman, so he made a face, pulled up Tanchun's skirt, and deliberately lifted it, saying, I even turned over the girl, which is really nothing. Tanchun slapped him and said, "What are you, pulling my clothes?" . I called you mom for my wife. You want to make a fool of yourself and show your face in front of me every day. It's getting worse now. You just want me to do something! You think you and I are so good at sex that you can bully us? You are wrong! I'm not tired of you searching. You shouldn't make fun of me. "
Every time I see this round, I applaud Tan Chun, for his courage, for his daring to speak out, for his self-esteem and for his persistence. And her slap is justified, so people can't pick out mistakes. If a slave can search a young lady's body at will, what are the rules and faces of a family? So, her slap not only hit Wang Shanbao's face, but also hit Mrs. Xing's face, and also hit Jia Fu's so-called face and face. Therefore, no one later pursued Tanchun, because although her behavior made many people uncomfortable, she was right.
The next day, although Baochai's room was not searched, Baochai moved out of the Grand View Garden to avoid suspicion. Tanchun expressed his understanding and support for this and said there was no need to come back. Everyone in the family is "not like a black-eyed chicken"? I hope you eat me and I eat you. "

Because of different personalities, Tanchun's boudoir is also different from other girls. Grandma Liu visited Tanchun's boudoir when she entered the Grand View Garden: Tanchun is always cheerful and spacious, and these three rooms have never been separated. There is a large box of rosewood marble in the local area, with all kinds of celebrity calligraphy stamps, dozens of precious inkstones, all kinds of pen holders and pens stuck in the sea like trees. On the west wall, a rice Xiangyang "misty rain map" is hung in public places. Hang a couplet on the left and right, which is Yan's ink. Its connection cloud: smoke and clouds are idle, and the spring is wild. It can be seen that Tan Chun is fond of and good at calligraphy.
Tan Chun also made great achievements in poetry. She founded the Haitang Poetry Society and named Lin Daiyu Princess Xiaoxiang. She is often the first to hand in a poem, and her "praise" is second only to Dai Yu's three poems.
As for her final destination, the latter forty times said that she married the Zhou family who was far away at sea. I don't think so, because there is a foreshadowing ahead, and she should be a princess in the end. She drew a lottery ticket to draw apricot flowers. The scarlet letter reads "Xian Pin in Yaochi", and the poem says: Red apricots are planted on the clouds beside the sun. Note: "The winner of this contract will be your husband. Let's congratulate you and have a drink together. " . They said, "We already have a princess in our family. Can't you be a princess too? "
Her verdict shows that two people are flying kites, a sea and a big ship. There was a woman on the boat, hiding her face and crying. There are also four sentences about writing clouds:
Only from the Qingming high ambition, was born in the last days.
Qingming tears send Jiang Wang, Dongfeng dreams.
This judgment implies that she left by boat, so I think A Dream of Red Mansions written by 1987 is more in line with Tanchun's fate. She should go to a distant ocean country and become a princess.
In ancient times, a woman's long marriage represented a tragic fate, because she was far from her parents and brothers, that is, she lost the protection of her family. But from now on, this is not necessarily a bad thing. And in terms of Tanchun's ambition and talent, this woman can't go anywhere.
Therefore, I personally think Tanchun is the one with the best fate among the twelve women in Jinling. Of course, from the current point of view.
