First, why did Jia build the Grand View Garden? Jia Fu built the Grand View Garden to welcome Princess Yuan Chungui home to visit her mother.
At the beginning of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia's economy had already declined. Leng Zixing told Jia Yucun that Jia Fu was not as good as before, and it was already bleak.
Nowadays, there are more and more people and things are thriving. There are many masters and servants who are rich and honorable and have no planners. Its daily ostentation and extravagance cannot have both. Now, although the outer shelf didn't fall down much, the inner bag came up.
Jia Fu has made ends meet, but Jia Fu is still swollen and has built a beautiful Grand View Garden. Jia Fu did this for outsiders. Because at this time, the first and second generations of the Jia family died, and the third generation had no real power.
Now, in the spring of the Yuan Dynasty, I gave the princess a shot in the arm. Jia Jia hopes to rebuild his glory through the pro-Yuan Chun family.
There is a Grand View Garden, which means that Jia's family has imperial concubine, and Jia's family is a relative of the country.
Second, the Grand View Garden was built by Jia Fu, but the property right belongs to Yuan Chun. The Grand View Garden is a courtyard built by Jia Jiawei's relatives. Property rights belong to Yuan Chun, and Jia Fu has no right to buy or sell. Even if people who live in the Grand View Garden need the seal of Yuan Chun, without the seal of Yuan Chun, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and others are not qualified to live in the Grand View Garden. If you are not qualified to live, where are you qualified to buy and sell?
If Jia Fu dares to sell the Grand View Garden, he will despise the royal family and go to jail.
Third, no matter how poor the Jia family is, the house can't be sold.
All gentry pay the most attention to face, and it is shameful to sell houses and land to support their families. Jia's family would rather pawn chai's jewelry than sell their house or land. It would be embarrassing if other colleagues found out Jia's dilemma. I can't get along in the aristocratic circle. In that case, Jia Fu will become a poor official in Jia Zhen's mouth. Jiao Da said that his arm was broken and his sleeves were hidden. In any case, we must safeguard the dignity of the Houmen government.
Fourth, to say the least, Jia Fu dares to sell and no one dares to buy. Grand view garden is another courtyard of the imperial concubine, which belongs to the royal forbidden area. Who dares touch the queen's territory! He will die unless he wants to.
Fifth, the Jia family was confiscated and the Grand View Garden was confiscated. It is no longer owned by Jia Jia, and Jia Jia has no right to resell it. Later, Jia Fu was confiscated, and Ningguo Fu, Guo Rongfu and Daguan Garden were also confiscated and no longer belonged to Jia Fu. Where does Jia Fu have the right to resell?
Conclusion: Modern people make money by selling houses. If family difficulties come, sell the big house, buy a small house to live in and earn the difference.
The ancients had no idea of selling houses to make money. They think that ancestral property cannot be bought or sold. Ancestral property includes houses and land. Even if someone leaves his hometown to be an official, the property in his hometown still exists and he is determined not to sell it. If you sell your ancestral property, it will be regarded as unfilial!
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, many people in the mansion made a living by pawning clothes and jewelry, and they still live in the mansion and resolutely refuse to sell real estate. This is also the reason why ancient people lived in the same yard all their lives. They think the house is for living, not for selling.
