The Jia family feasts almost every three days and every five days, and the dishes on Jia's table have new tricks every day; Jiafu's Grand View Garden is very beautiful, which almost integrates the strengths of many families. Jia Fu's clothes, Jia Mu's and Baoyu's, are all clever women who can't cook without rice, and some clothes are not as good as those made inside. When Jia Fu travels, horses and chariots can occupy the whole street.
The wealth of Jiafu is obvious, but the decline of Jiafu is also slow. Jia Fu's housekeeper was naturally the first to anticipate Jia Fu's decline, while others lived a carefree life. So, is Daiyu, who is "out of touch with human fireworks", aware of the decline of Jiafu?
First, when housekeeper Chun visited, Lin Daiyu and Baoyu talked about the current situation that the Jia family could not make ends meet. Daiyu grew up under Jia's training. From the independent ability of Yuanyang and Xiren, we can know that Jia's education of girls is very powerful. Daiyu is Jia's favorite granddaughter, and Jia's education for her is naturally not bad. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are things that Daiyu wants to learn, but housekeeping and needlework are also necessary skills for a prostitute, which are not bad for Daiyu.
Therefore, Daiyu knows a little about the present situation of Jiafu even though she is not involved in the housekeeping of Jiafu.
Daiyu said to Baoyu, although I don't care about anything, I will always calculate it for you when I have time. If I don't save money now, I will definitely lose my hands.
Only in her spare time can Daiyu know that all the Jia family members have gone out to supplement their families, which is a good effect for Daiyu to learn to be the master of her own house. Just because Daiyu doesn't care doesn't mean she's not sensible. A girl like Daiyu will marry someone else as a housekeeper in the future, so managing politics is only a necessary skill.
Second, Daiyu's living conditions in Jiafu are deteriorating. Daiyu has been cautious since the day she entered Jia's house, refusing to take one more step and not saying a word. Although Daiyu became willing to say whatever she wanted in her later period, this caution has never been put down. After Dai Yu became familiar with Jia's worldly wisdom, she was able to show her true colors a little bit and live according to the lifestyle she wanted.
Because she was dependent on others, especially after Lin Ruhai's death, Daiyu was very careful when she lived in Jia's house. Baochai suggested that she eat some bird's nest to recuperate, but Daiyu didn't tell her. Bird's nest is only common in Jiafu, and Wang Xifeng will eat it after her illness, and Daiyu is worried about such a small request at this time.
Because Daiyu was treated as a young lady in Jia's house, she already felt very uneasy. Although bird's nest is not expensive, it is easy to complain that she is frivolous. In fact, one of the reasons why Daiyu can't say is that Jiafu has been slowly declining, and Daiyu's living conditions are getting worse and worse, so she can't give Jiafu any more trouble.
Third, the decline of Jiafu, how can Daiyu's cleverness not see through the decline of Jiafu? In fact, it is not obvious, and it is difficult for people who are not among them to know the real situation. Jia Fu's appearance outside has always been very good, perhaps there is no lack of "decent living", but Jia Fu's appearance outside has always been very good.
Daiyu is a clever girl and knows more than she does. She sees everything in Jia's family clearly. How could she not understand the decline of the Jia family, and everyone knew it but didn't say it? Then why did Daiyu say it?
Daiyu doesn't mind living an ordinary life, because the Lins have never been so extravagant and wasteful as the Jia family, and Daiyu likes to live an ordinary life, so the Jia family doesn't particularly care whether to abolish or promote Daiyu. "Doing nothing and keeping my heart" is the characteristic of Daiyu, and it is also the normal life of Daiyu. With this heart, Daiyu's life will keep her peace in the splendor of Jiafu.
