Just like Xue Pan is an unreliable person, he is absolutely good to his sister Baochai. Whether he can do it himself or not, whether Baochai needs it or not, he will play the role of a good brother and stand by her when Baochai needs him.
Take Xue Pan and Baochai as examples. Jia Lian and Yingchun also live in Jiafu, but there is almost no intersection between them. Jia Lian is the housekeeper of Jia Fu, and his wife, Wang Xifeng, is the housekeeper of the inner court. Both of them have great abilities, but they didn't help Yingchun when she was bullied. Why?
First, Jia Lian and Yingchun have a cold relationship and don't talk to each other. Jia Lian is a playboy in A Dream of Red Mansions, but he is not an indifferent person. He neglected his sister, which is a big problem. First of all, one of the reasons I have to say is that Yingchun is not sociable. She has always been cold to the people around her. She doesn't maintain the relationship around her, so her brother's relationship with her is cold.
Jia Lian is an elder brother, but he is different from Baoyu. Baoyu can grow up among girls since childhood, and most of them are girls around him, so Baoyu can express his concern and love for his sisters. Jia Lian is married, can't enter the Grand View Garden, and has something to do everywhere, so he pays little attention to the life of Yingchun.
Because Yingchun didn't take the initiative and Jia Lian didn't care, the relationship between their brother and sister was very indifferent.
Second, Jia Lian has long been separated from Yingchun because of their mothers' different degrees of love. Jia Lian will not take the initiative to care about the Spring Festival, but there will actually be a future in it. Their stepmother, Mrs. Xing, once said that "Yingchun's mother is much more popular than Aunt Zhao" when teaching Yingchun.
Aunt Zhao is Jia Zheng's aunt, and she is not as spoiled as Mrs. Wang. If Yingchun's mother got aunt Zhao's favor, she also took Jia Lian's mother's favor. Seeing that his mother has been wronged, Jia Lian will naturally be dissatisfied, but Jia She will not balance the relationship between wives and concubines well, so everyone will be unhappy.
So because of the feud between mothers, Jia Lian and Yingchun have a knot. This knot, if no one gives correct guidance, will continue all the time, and Jia Lian and Ying Chun will not be close. This is a feud between the older generation, but it has brought a continuous gap between Jia Lian and Yingchun.
Third, Spring Festival is not loved by Jia She, so everyone thinks it is dispensable. Jia Lian never thought of welcoming the Spring Festival for another reason. This is that Yingchun is the second lady of Jia Fu, and there are naturally many people around her to serve and take care of her. Although Jia Lian is an elder brother, he thinks that Yingchun will not lack care, so he will not pay attention to Yingchun.
And Jia Lian is also an influential person. Yingchun has been unknown since her mother died. She didn't get the attention of her father Jia She, and she didn't get the favor of Jia Mu, so both elders thought she was dispensable, and Jia Lian naturally didn't care about welcoming the Spring.
Yingchun is really a sad child. She is gentle and demure, but she has been bullied by her people. Her wet nurse and the girls below are very strong people, but it happened that she is such a good-tempered master, and everyone naturally does whatever they want. Because no owner will claim her rights and she is a weak role, everyone dares to bully her.
Jia She's indifference directly affects everyone's attitude towards Yingchun, and Yingchun doesn't know how to treat her father, so she has been ignored.
Xie Jia later married her directly to Sun Shaozu, known as the "Zhongshan Wolf". After Yingchun first got married, she was wronged and finally went back to her family to cry, but Mrs. Wang didn't want to take care of it. Even Baoyu won't tell Jia. Yingchun's father Jia She and stepmother Mrs. Xing never asked, so after only one year, Yingchun died alone.
Generally speaking, Yingchun's life is full of helplessness. Originally, she was a tenacious person, who only needed a little light and heat to survive, but in the face of Sun Shaozu's torture and bullying, she couldn't stand it any longer and died in just one year. Jia Lian and Yingchun are siblings, but there are too many grievances between them, so Jia Lian seldom cares about Yingchun when he grows up.
