According to the Jia family's generous attitude towards servants, the old man won't care about him and give him a good job. The book says that all ancestors treated each other differently (Jiao Da), which proves that Jiao Da was really treated well at that time. But why did Jia Zhen and Jia Jing ignore Jiao Da?
Look at Jiao Da's dirty words: "... Jiao Da is not the only one, so be an official and enjoy the splendor! Your ancestors survived to earn this wealth, and now you don't repay my kindness, but you are the host with me ... "Even if you are good to others, you shouldn't say it, for fear that people will forget it, which is disgusting. Therefore, it is precisely because Jiao Da is ready to reverse his conviction and take that period of history as his own that his masters are disgusted.
Not only did he take credit for himself, but he also talked back and exposed such a big incident as "raising his brother-in-law and climbing the ashes", which shows that it is really his own fault. I don't know my own identity. Although Jiao Da was very old in Jiafu, he took his grandfather out of the dead on the battlefield, starved himself, stole things for his master, drank horse urine himself, and found half a bowl of water for his master. I survived by drinking horse urine.
But no matter how much credit he has, he is also a servant and private property of the Jia family, and everything he has done is justified. Therefore, it is wrong for him to scold his master through credit and expose his shortcomings, which is good for him, ok, and bad for him. Disobey one's duty. As a slave of another family who has no personal freedom, the host family should do whatever they ask of him, otherwise the host family has the right to punish him.
However, Jiao Da not only refused to listen to the arrangement, but also scolded his master for "collecting ashes" and "raising his brother-in-law" in front of him, which made him lose face and feel annoyed. It's not surprising that people put horse manure in his mouth. Slaves bullied the lords. As a slave, he took credit, did not give face to his master, and abused his family at will.
Typical slave deceives the master. If he can't make it clear, just like Mammy Lai and Susan Wang, it doesn't matter to pinch the soft persimmon, but in front of outsiders, he won't leave a little face for the master and expose his scandal. If the master doesn't punish him, he can't stand in front of others.
