The reason why Laijia calls Baoyu the third master of Bao

Regarding the title of ‘Bao San Ye’, I have actually explained it at the end of the chapter.

But some people obviously disagreed, and even said in the group that I have never read Dream of Red Mansions, because it is clearly written in the book that Jia Mu asked people to call Baoyu the second master of Baoyu.

Although the evidence they produced in the end was not the content of the original book, but the speculation of the Suoyin Sect after Baidu came to know it - well, it was the Red School sect that dug out several hidden emperors from the Rongning Second Mansion.

I think it is necessary to discuss it seriously.

It is known that the Rongguo Mansion was not divided into families in the original book.

It is known that the direct descendants of the Rongguo Mansion in the original book are listed in order of age: Jia Zhu of the second family [died young], Jia Lian of the eldest family, and Baoyu of the second family.

The people around Baoyu, judging from the ranking of the second roommate, naturally have no problem calling him Master Baoyu.

But since there is no separation of families, there must be an official ranking of the senior members of the Rongguo Mansion.

That is, Uncle Zhu, Second Master Lian, and Third Master Bao.

Someone said that Jia's mother liked Baoyu and preferred the second wife, so she appointed him as his successor.

But this has nothing to do with age ranking.

It has nothing to do with the distinction between concubine and concubine that many people argue - concubine has nothing to do with age, otherwise there would be no title of eldest son.

The most important thing is!

Even assuming that because of Jia Baoyu's special characteristics, most people in Rongguo Mansion prefer to call him Second Master Bao, Lai Wang should never call him Second Master Bao.

Why?

Because this is a matter of position and principle!

As a confidant of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, you chose to go beyond the second master Lian and call Baoyu the second master Bao. What's the reason?!

Do you not want Jia Lian to be your master and plan to rebel and move to the second room?!

Therefore, I think that when Laiwang's family calls Baoyu, they should use the official ranking in the mansion.
Chapter completed!
