The detailed information of the Yan Jian Sheng before his death, and what kind of person was the Yan

Yan Jiansheng's original name was Yan Dayu, and he was a timid and rich man. Be very economical with yourself. When Yan Jiansheng was dying, he stretched out his two fingers and refused to breathe, and the eldest nephew, the second nephew, and the wet nurse and others all stepped forward to guess and persuade him, but none of them said it, and in the end, it was Zhao who stepped forward:

Master, only I can know what is on your mind. You are lighting two stalks of lamp grass in the lamp, don't worry, I'm afraid of wasting oil. It wasn't until Zhao picked out a lamp grass that he nodded and swallowed.

This detail illustrates the savings that Yan Jian Sheng has made for himself. Of course, we should also recognize the complexity of the character of the prisoners. There is a stingy side to his character, a humble and pitiful side, and a generous and humane side.

He used money as a talisman to eliminate disasters and difficulties, and to steal peace. After his wife Wang's illness, he invited a famous doctor to decoct ginseng without ambiguity. After Wang's death, he mourned affectionately, "I cried again with my coffin", this is not the tears of "making a play", just like the comment of the old man who is idle fast:

This is also the true love of Chai Mi husband and wife sharing weal and woe. "Here's where he has a human side. Because he has no family advantages, and he is afraid of Boss Yan until he dies, he lives a humble life and dies a nest.

As for the accumulation of property, there are two main ways: one is to occupy it by exploitation; The second is to rely on dismal management, careful budgeting, and even lifestyle masochism to reduce expenses. He loved money and gathered wealth, but he was generous at times.

He was not willing to submit to others, and this mentality was fully revealed in the sad last words of his brother-in-law on his deathbed, when he said: "After I die, my two uncles will take care of your nephew and teach him to read, so that he will not be angry with the big house all day long, like me." His last words can be described as a summary of his life experience.

In short, he is a figure who has been teased by the ruling class, he has a stingy, unsympathetic, generous side, and no lack of human touch. The multi-faceted excavation of the deformed soul of the character Yan Jiansheng is conducive to fully understanding the author's profound intentions and tactful and colorful pen power.

Continued from the previous part, the death of Ms. Wang Laoshi, this article comes to the ** strict prison.

In the "History of Confucianism", probably because it was a paragraph before Yan Jiansheng died that was selected into the Chinese textbook, the impression of Yan Jiansheng was that he was picked, labeled as a miser, and a colleague Grande.

Now the evaluation of Yan Jiansheng on the Internet is to discuss whether he is a colleague of Grande around the two wicks. However, I feel that people are three-dimensional, and the question of whether to pick or not is only a small aspect, and the death of Yan Jian Sheng, although it is indeed a normal death on the surface, but behind the normality, there are many subtle other factors - this article has an inside story.

Strict wife Wang.

Speaking of death, Wang's death made Yan Jiansheng spend a lot of silver, and in order to bribe Wang's two elder brothers, he gave two hundred taels of silver, as well as almost all of Wang's jewelry - the title of the fifth chapter of "The History of Confucianism" is also full of irony of sitting. Wang's funeral expenses cost four or five thousand taels, a terrifying figure, Dream of Red Mansions.

The coffin that Qin Keqing used was originally for a thousand-year-old prince was only a thousand taels. The humble funeral in "The Outer History of Confucianism" is only a dozen taels of silver. There are two reasons why there are so many tung flowers:

The first is to cover the eyes and ears of the people, and there is an analysis in the first part, Yan Jiansheng and the concubine held a wedding when the Wang family was alive, and the Wang family died on the night of the wedding. Therefore, on the one hand, Yan Jiansheng felt guilty, and on the other hand, he was also afraid of others gossiping, so he was even more afraid of being caught by others.

The second is that a lot of the expenses were not spent on the funeral itself, but on the Wang Ren and Wang De brothers, including the promise when bribing them, to repair the graves of the parents-in-law, that is, the parents of the Wang brothers. And the Zhao family.

After Wang's death, "I am grateful to the two uncles for entering the bone marrow, and the fields have received new rice, two stones for each family; pickled winter vegetables, each family is also two stones; ham, a family of four; Chicken, duck, and side dishes are not counted. ”。

After spending so much money, in order to save money, the strict prison student who had to pick off one of the two wicks had to be killed, how painful it must be! As soon as it hurt, Yan Jiansheng began to regret it, thinking of the benefits of marrying a wife Wang——— because Yan Jiansheng and his wife have been married for more than 20 years, the Wang family must be the same as Yan Jiansheng in terms of living habits, otherwise they would not have been peaceful for so many years without children.
