In addition to Jia Zheng not showing too many scandals, and Jia Baoyu is not a lecherous person, but simply loves and appreciates the beauty and talent of women, the other men are all obsessed with women.
Although it was normal to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times, for people like Jia Zhen to get together with their daughter-in-law, there was no bottom line. Among the men in charge of the Jia family, except for Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian are all very lustful. The difference is that, except for Jia Lian who feels a little depressed with Wang Xifeng in charge, Jia She, Jia Zhen and their wives help find concubines, which is really enjoyable.
For example, when Jia She fell in love with Jia Mu's maid, Yuanyang, the eldest wife still worked hard for it. It is said that this is a "virtuous wife". The eldest wife is doing it for the master, and even more for herself. No matter what the master's request is, she just tries to find ways to help him realize it and make him happy, so that she can live a good life. It's just that Jia She is already an old man, and it is really a waste of money to harm a young girl like Yuanyang.
And Jia Lian didn't even mind that Second Sister You had slept with Jia Zhen. In fact, Jia Lian's other concubine Qiutong was also rewarded to him by Jia She, and this Qiu Tong was already Jia She's woman. Jia Lian didn't seem to mind this at all, but it's unclear whether this was because Jia Lian was not particular about it, or because that was the general trend at the time.
No matter how ridiculous men are, women will suffer. And the women behind these ridiculous men can only suppress their instinctive psychology and force their faces to keep concubines for their husbands. They are probably used to it. I just hope that I can have a son and a half by my side so that I won't be unable to hold my head high in those families.
