The relationship between Sister You and Jia Zhen in A Dream of Red Mansions can only be regarded as an ambiguous relationship, not even an ordinary lover relationship. How dare your second sister get pregnant? Even if she dares to get pregnant, Jia Zhen will not allow her to have children.
There is an improper affair between Second Sister You and Jia Zhen. You Erjie in A Dream of Red Mansions comes from a small family, but the You family whose mother remarried is also an innocent family with a little family background. You Erjie secretly and her brother-in-law Jia Zhen did not have proper relationship, which was very despised in the society at that time.
So in A Dream of Red Mansions, even though the affair between Second Sister You and Jia Zhen has been widely circulated, when Jia Rong vaguely mentioned their relationship, Second Sister You was ashamed and angry. The original description is as follows:
Jia Rong smiled at his second aunt and said, "Second aunt, there you go again. Our father just misses you. " Second sister, you blushed and scolded, "Rong boy, if I don't scold you a few words in a couple of days, you will die." It's getting worse. It's a pity that you are a dude. You study etiquette every day, even that small family can't catch up. " At some point, he picked up an iron bar and hit himself on the head. Scared Jia Rong rolled his head into his arms and begged for mercy. —— (Excerpted from Sixty-three chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions)
Not only is Second Sister You ashamed to talk about his relationship with her brother-in-law, Jia Zhen, but even the little maids who serve them are taboo. In the sixty-third episode of the novel, when Jia Rong flirted with the maid who specially served the second sister and You Sanjie, the maid scolded: "Short-lived ghost, you usually have a wife and daughter who only make trouble with us, and everyone who knows it is stubborn and ignorant, and then you meet that filthy and nosy person who doesn't know about the trouble at home and doesn't secretly say that we are chaotic."
It can be seen from Jia Rong's enchanting appearance when he met Second Sister You and You Sanjie that it is common for him to wantonly flirt with Second Sister You, You Sanjie and their maids. At this time, even the little girl is so harsh, which shows that the main reason is that after the relationship between Second Sister You and Jia Zhen is well known, everyone despises it, so even the little girl is pregnant with her gizzard.
The relationship between Second Sister You and Jia Zhen determines that she can't get pregnant. After Aunt Zhao in A Dream of Red Mansions became Jia Zheng's aunt by unfair means (getting pregnant before marriage), although she gave birth to Tan Chun and Jia Huan for Jia Zheng, even Jia Fu's maids ignored her, so Fang Guan and others could fight with her unscrupulously.
Pinger is Jia Lian's concubine and Wang Xifeng's maid. With Wang Xifeng's consent, Pinger became Jia Lian's roommate. Pinger has long been Jia Lian's serious aunt in Fu Rong's eyes, but as long as Wang Xifeng doesn't agree, even if she is popular again, she is still a servant girl who can't have children casually.
Therefore, in the era of A Dream of Red Mansions, a woman must have a proper identity if she wants to have children. If you have a child without proper status, you may not be recognized by your family. Even if she can get the approval of her family, she will bear a stain that will never be washed away.
Compared with the relationship between Aunt Zhao and Jia Zheng, the relationship between You Sanjie and Jia Zhen is even less recognized by the world. Compared with the relationship between Jia Lian and Pinger now, it is obviously different. The relationship between Pinger and Jia Lian is at least legal. Even so, Pinger can't be born casually, so Second Sister You and Jia Zhen, who are despised by the world, can't be born casually.
Second Sister You is menstruation of Jia Lian, who is free to have children. There are sixty-five times in A Dream of Red Mansions. About this time when Jia Lian took Second Sister You as his concubine, the author wrote the title "Second Sister Jia secretly married Second Sister You", and the author used the word "marry". The novel describes Jia Lian's second sister You Na as a concubine as follows:
On the fifth watch the next day, I took my second sister to the sedan chair. All kinds of incense sticks, paper horses, bedding and wine and rice are ready. At that time, Jia Lian came in a small sedan chair in plain clothes, worshipped heaven and earth, and burned paper horses. That especially old see second sister's head look brand-new and unconstrained, very proud. Blend into the bridal chamber.
It can be seen that although Jia Lian secretly loves Second Sister You, he is officially hired and seriously married. Therefore, the relationship between Second Sister You and Jia Lian is justified, and the identity of Second Sister You is clear, that is, the aunt married by Jia Lian. Therefore, Second Sister You, as Jia Lian's second wife, has the right to give birth freely for Jia Lian.
This can be seen from the fact that Wang Xifeng brought Second Sister You into Jia's house. Wang Xifeng took Second Sister You into Jia Fu and packed up a wing to stay. In Jia's family, only famous aunts can live in another house. A maid like Pinger has to wait on her master from morning till night. They don't have their own separate rooms.
Conclusion: From the above, it can be seen that the reason why you Erjie has not been pregnant with Jia Zhen for many years is because they can't see the sun and decided that you Erjie can't get pregnant, not for other reasons.
Reading A Dream of Red Mansions, we can see from the novels that Pinger, Xiren, Jia Fu, Jia She and Jia Zhen's maids were never pregnant that the contraceptive methods of women in the Dream of Red Mansions era should be quite mature.
Therefore, in A Dream of Red Mansions, people who followed Jia from the beginning, such as Pinger, Xiren and Second Sister You, were not pregnant, not because of physical reasons, but because their status restricted their reproductive rights.
