14 主要人物的人生(经验教训)


14 majorcharacers’lives(experiencesandlessons)


贾母:贾母出生于金陵史侯贵族家庭。她成人之后,嫁给荣国公之长子贾代善。荣国公死后,长子贾代善袭了官。他们生了两子一女,长子贾赦,次子贾政,女名贾敏。贾代善早已去世,太夫人尚在,自然就成了贾家的最高统治者。正如贾母自己所说:“我进了这门子,做重孙媳妇起,到如今,我也有个重孙子媳妇了……凭着大惊大险、千奇百怪的事,也经了些。”“我到你们家已经六十多年了,从年轻的时候到老来,福也享尽了。”“听见贾母喉间略一响动,脸变笑容,竟是去了。享年八十三岁。”

贾母是个好当家,正如她自己所说:“当日我象凤丫头这么大年纪,比她还来得呢!他如今虽说不如我,也就算好了,比你姨娘(王夫人)强远了!”贾母非常精明能干。她恰当地处理了各种家庭矛盾,如贾琏、熙凤和平儿间的矛盾等等。她坚定地解决了园子里的人开赌局的严重问题,她巧妙地处理了很多重要的家务事,如她大儿子想要她丫头鸳鸯作妾之事等。

贾母顾大局,识大体。虽说她“素来本不大喜欢贾赦,那边东府贾珍究竟隔了一层”,但她还是在锦衣军查抄宁国府后,“叫邢王二夫人同着鸳鸯等开箱倒笼,将做媳妇到如今积攒的东西都拿出来,又叫贾赦、贾政、贾珍等一一的分派。”并说:“你们别打量我是享得富贵受不得贫穷的人哪!不过这几年看着你们轰轰烈烈,我乐得都不管,说说笑笑,养身子罢了。那知道家运一败,直到这样!若说外头好看,里头空虚,是我早知道的了,只是‘居移气,养移体’,一时下不了台就是了。如今借此正好收敛,守住这个门头儿,不然,叫人笑话。”

贾母人生经验丰富,热爱家庭,热爱子女,特别溺爱孙儿孙女,是个众人尊敬的“老祖宗”。她总是慈祥和蔼,充满了人情味。但贾母的爱是根据其整个家庭利益而有所不同的。


以宝黛之恋为例。尽管贾母很爱她年轻有病的外孙女,但她认为黛玉作为宝玉的婚姻伴侣完全不合适,因为黛玉“最小性儿,又多心”,常生病,更重要的是黛玉帮助并助长宝玉背叛封建习俗,导致宝玉走上招致家庭败落之路。当熙风告诉贾母黛玉已死时,贾母眼泪交流,说道:“是我弄坏了她了!但只是这个丫头也忒傻气!”她想到园里去哭她一场,又惦记着宝玉,两头难顾。贾母无奈,只得叫王夫人去,并指示说:“你替我告诉她的阴灵:‘并不是我忍心不来送你,只为有个亲疏。你是我的外孙女儿,是亲的了;若与宝玉比起来,可是宝玉比你更亲些。倘宝玉有些不好,我怎么见他父亲呢!’”相反,贾母见了宝玉后却径直去看宝钗,并怜悯地说:“我的儿!我告诉你,你可别告诉宝玉。都是因你林妹妹,才叫你受了多少委屈!你如今作媳妇了,我才告诉你:这如今你林妹妹没了两三天了,就是娶你的那个时辰死的。如今宝玉这一番病,还是为着这个。你们先都在园子里,自然也都是明白的。”

贾母是福寿双全。为什么呢?人们会说,她的福来自出身好,嫁得好。但答得远不够完善。更重要的是,她的福寿来自她有上述好品质和她所说的下列好性格。她说:“大凡一个人,有也罢,没有也罢,总要受得富贵,耐得贫贱才好呢。你宝姐姐生来是个大方的人。头里他家这样好,他也一点儿不骄傲;后来他家坏了事,他也是舒舒坦坦的。如今在我家里,宝玉待他好,他也是那样安顿;一时待他不好,也不见他有什么烦恼。我看这孩子倒是个有福的。你林姐姐,他就最小性儿,又多心,所以到底儿不长命的。凤丫头也见过些事,很不该略见些风波就改了样子。他若这样没见识,也就小器了。”

贾政:贾政是贾母之次子,自幼酷喜读书,得祖父钟爱,原要他从科甲出身,不料其父临终遗本一上,皇上怜念先臣,即叫长子贾赦袭了一等将军之职,又问还有几个儿子,立刻引见,并赐贾政额外主事职衔,叫他入部实习,不久便升了工部员外郎。贾政的夫人王氏,头胎给他生了个儿子叫贾珠,十四岁通过了州县考试,后来娶了李纨为妻,生了一子名叫贾兰,但贾珠不到二十岁就病死了。王夫人的第二个孩子是个女儿,生在大年初一,名叫元春,第三个孩子又是个公子,名叫宝玉。贾政和赵姨娘生有一个女儿,叫探春,一个儿子叫贾环。因此,贾政共有五个孩子。

贾政对孩子要求很严格。他的女儿元春教育得好,因贤孝才德,选入宫作女史去了。当宝玉被送去上学时,贾政指教道:“你去请学里太爷的安,就说我说的,……只是先把《四书》一齐讲明背熟,是最要紧的。”当贾政得知宝玉在家荒疏学业,在外流荡优伶,表赠私物,他气得面如死灰,只喝命:“堵起嘴来,着实打死!”当贾母来时,贾政立即上前躬身陪笑说道:“大暑热的天,老太太有什么吩咐,何必自己走来,只叫儿子进去吩咐便了。”


当贾母责骂他打她心爱的孙子时,他忙跪下含泪说道:“儿子管他,也为的是光宗耀祖。老太太也不必伤感,都是儿子一时性急,从此以后,再不打他了。”对母亲,贾政总是百依百顺,十分孝敬。

贾政是个谦恭厚道之人,大有祖父遗风,最喜读书人,礼贤下士,拯溺救危。他对皇上总是无限忠诚。甚至锦衣军查抄了贾府之后,他还感激涕零,望北跪拜向皇上谢恩。

他决心做个好官。“那年正值京察,工部将贾政保列一等,二月,吏部带领引见。皇上念贾政勤俭谨慎,即放了江西粮道。”他晓行夜宿,到了本省,见过上司,即到任拜印受事,便查盘各属州县米粮仓库。他出示严禁,并谕以一经查出,必定详参揭报。他认真查办,州县馈送,一概不受。门房、签押、长随等人,抱怨道:“你们爷们到底还没花什么本钱来的。我们才冤:花了若干银子,打了个门子,来了一个多月,连半个钱也没见过!想来跟这个主儿是不能捞本儿的了。”次日,他们都辞去了。“那些可去的去了,”留下的家佣商议道:“我们去不了的,到底想个法儿才好。”隔一天,管厨房的上来要钱。贾政将带来银两付了。以后便觉样样不如意,比在京的时候倒不便了好些,无奈,便唤管门李十儿来,说:“现在带来银两,早使没有了。藩库俸银尚早,该打发京里取去。”李十儿禀道:“老爷说家里取银子,取多少?现在打听节度衙门这几天有生日,别的府道老爷都上千上万的送了,我们到底送多少呢?”贾政道:“为什么不早说?”李十儿说:“我们新来乍到,又不与别位老爷很来往,谁肯送信?巴不得老爷不去,好想老爷的美缺呢。”贾政道:“胡说!


我这官是皇上放的,不与节度做生日,便叫我不做不成!”李十儿笑着回道:“老爷说的也不错。京里离这里很远,凡百的事,都是节度奏闻。他说好便好,说不好便吃不住。到得明白,已经迟了。就是老太太,太太们,那个不愿意老爷在外头轰轰烈烈的做官呢?”贾政道:“依你怎么做才好?”李十儿道:“也没有别的,趁着老爷的精神年纪,里头的照应,老太太的硬朗,为顾着自己就是了。不然,到不了一年,老爷家里的钱也都贴补完了,还落了自上至下的人抱怨,都说老爷是做外任的,自然弄了钱藏着受用。倘遇着一两件为难的事,谁肯帮着老爷?那时办也办不清,悔也悔不及!”贾政道:“据你一说,是叫我做贪官吗?送了命还不要紧,必定将祖父的功勋抹了才是?”李十儿回禀道:“老爷极圣明的人,没看见旧年犯事的几位老爷吗?这几位都与老爷相好,老爷常说是个做清官的,如今名在那里?现有几位亲戚,老爷向来说他们不好的,如今升的升,迁的迁。只在要做的好就是了。


老爷要知道:民也要顾,官也要顾。若是依着老爷,不准州县得一个大钱,外头这些差使谁办?”李十儿解释说:“那些书吏衙役,都是花了钱买着粮道的衙门,那个不想发财?俱要养家活口。”“只要老爷外面还是这样清名声原好;里头的委屈,只要奴才办去,关碍不着老爷的。”贾政被李十儿一番言语,说得心无主见,道:“我是要保性命的!你们闹出来不与我相干!”说着,便踱了进去。“李十儿便自己做起威福,钩连内外一气的哄着贾政办事,反觉得事事周到,件件随心,所以贾政不但不疑,反多相信。”结果,贾政被节度使题参。题本上去,亏得皇上的恩典,没有交部,便下旨意,说是“失察属员,重征粮米,苛虐百姓,本应革职,姑念初膺外任,不谙吏治,被属员蒙蔽,着降三级,加恩仍以工部员外上行走,并令即日回京。”贾政从江西粮道被题参回京后,仍在工部行走,日夜不敢怠惰。他实为他那社会的一个有道德责任和礼仪的楷模。

贾政不惯俗务,下朝回家,不过看书着棋而已。他不知理家,只得叫贾琏夫妇总理家务;他管束不了手下长随们,只得让其中饱私囊;他未能管教好子侄,“谁知这样钟鸣鼎食的人家儿,如今养的儿孙们,竟一代不如一代了!”作为一个皇帝指命的官员,贾政起初被赐予额外主事职衔,不久升了工部员外郎;他自皇上钦点学政任满后,即放了江西粮道,尽管降了三级,仍以工部员外上行走,荣国世职,仍是他袭了,“俟丁忧服满,仍升工部郎中”。贾政一生,尽管工作勤勤恳恳,循分供职,也只过得平安和平庸而已。
