Why did Aunt Xue stay at Jia's after her family went bankrupt?
In the study of A Dream of Red Mansions, there are many discussions about why Aunt Xue's family lives in Jiafu. What is widely recognized is the "conspiracy theory": Aunt Xue's family should promote a golden marriage and hug Jia's thigh to ensure that Xue's family can continue to maintain its strength in the four major families.

This view is undoubtedly conspiracy theory. In this way, Aunt Xue is evil and Xue Baochai is hypocritical. Aunt Xue's family and Mrs. Wang supported the "golden jade marriage" and split into two factions with the "wooden stone marriage" supported by Jia Mu and others.

In the previous article, the author once analyzed the status of the Xue family. When Xue Jia first entered Jiafu, Baochai failed to enter the palace because of talent selection, so she began to play the idea of "a good marriage". Aunt Xue also began to create public opinion in Jiafu that Baochai's golden lock needed a piece of jade to be worthy. So at first, the Xue family really intended to promote the "golden marriage", but as time went on, things began to change.

First, Qing Xuguan played a trick and politely refused Zhang Daoshi's marriage and marriage. This statement was clearly addressed to Aunt Xue, which was intended to imply opposition to the marriage of gold and jade. Then in the thirty-sixth episode of Embroidered Yuanyang Dream, Jia Baoyu shouted at Baochai in his dream: What marriage is good, I will say it is a marriage of wood and stone. Baochai was shocked. As a result, she learned Baoyu's mind and began to let go of her obsession with marriage, but Aunt Xue didn't stop until the 57th time when she tried jade, and Baoyu almost died. So the whole Jia family knew how strong the love between Baoyu and Daiyu was. Aunt Xue finally changed her mind and stopped urging marriage, so she returned to the 57th session.

Many readers of Conspiracy Theory do not agree with the author's analysis. They prefer to believe that Aunt Xue is digging a corner of the "wood-stone marriage". Even if she knows that Baodai's love is firm, she will continue to dig, but she doesn't want to think about it. If she insists on promoting a good marriage, Baoyu will lose Lin Daiyu and go crazy again, becoming crazy and stupid. Does Aunt Xue have the heart to let her daughter marry a crazy Baoyu? Therefore, the power of Zijuan to try jade is extremely great, which directly changes Aunt Xue's stubbornness. However, many readers' comments below the author's article show that they don't want to believe this. They would rather believe that Aunt Xue's words to comfort Lin Daiyu were insincere. How high is Lin Daiyu's IQ? Can't she see insincerity, but she wants to recognize an extremely hypocritical aunt Xue as a godmother?

Anyway, since Aunt Xue's family has put down their obsession with marriage, why do they still stay in Jiafu?

The author believes that the reason why the Xue family still lives in Jiafu is for Baochai's marriage. Although aunt Xue has given up her marriage, Mrs. Wang has not given up. The dispute between Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia of the Jia family continues. Aunt Xue's retention may be related to Mrs. Wang's retention (Mrs. Wang hopes that Aunt Xue will continue to support the golden jade marriage), but menstruation can't pin her daughter's happiness on the white class. Imagine, if Mrs. Wang is defeated, will the marriage of gold and jade continue?

Although Jinyu's marriage is about to go bankrupt, it is good for Baochai's marriage that Aunt Xue's family leaves Jia's family, that is, she can help Baochai find her husband's family with Jia's platform. At this point, the Xue family has declined. For example, Xue Fan can only marry Xia Jingui of Guihuaxia family. If Aunt Xue moves out of Jiafu, I'm afraid Baochai's last marriage is not much better, but as long as she is in Jiafu, she can get in touch with similar nobles, and the probability of finding qualified in-laws for Baochai is even greater.

Although the Jia family has declined, the shelf is still there. See the funeral of Qin Keqing in Ningfu. Sacrificial sheds have been built in Wang Fu, Nan 'an County, Xining County and Jingjun County, which shows that the basic connection between Jia's family and nobles is still there. Back to the seventy-first Jia's birthday party, this is even more obvious:

On the 28th, we invite royalty, Xu, prince, princess, princess, princess, monarch, squire, lady, etc. On the 29th, it was your Excellency, viceroy, viceroy and imperial edict. On the 30th, it was officials and imperial edicts, as well as relatives and friends. -Seventy-first time

If the Xue family continues to live in Jiafu, they can get in close contact with these princes and nobles, and Baochai can also have a chance to show her face. It will be a good thing if she finds a good marriage.

Therefore, the author believes that Aunt Xue's family has been living in Jiafu, not always obsessed with good or bad luck, but with ulterior motives, and this is also a guarantee for Xue Baochai's marriage: if "good or bad luck" can be achieved, it can be achieved, and it can't be achieved, relying on the platform of Jiafu to find a good husband for Baochai. This kind of double insurance is probably the "true abacus" in Aunt Xue's mind.
