What is worth mentioning is the luxurious funeral of Qin Keqing. The book says: "Only this forty-nine days, a white man came and went in Ningguofu Street ..." Here, "white people came and went" refers to many people wearing mourning clothes, wearing them every day for a total of forty-nine days. According to the tradition of China, only the younger generation is the elder Dai Xiao, and Qin Keqing is the lowest in the Jia family. So who are these people in mourning? The fourteenth time wrote: "Jia Zheng heard of it and hurried back, ordering Baoyu to take off his mourning clothes." This shows that Baoyu was originally dressed in mourning, but Baoyu is Qin Keqing's uncle. How can an uncle dress his niece in mourning? This is also against our tradition. The book also wrote: "Only in these forty-nine days, the streets of Ningguo House ... the flower cluster officials went to the official." The so-called "colorful officials come to the official" means that there are many people wearing official clothes to mourn, and this is the case every day for 49 days. But you can't wear official clothes casually, only on formal occasions.
Jia Zhen is just a general with three titles. Why do these officials wear official uniforms to pay homage to the daughter-in-law of an official with a low rank? Moreover, the coffin used by Qin Keqing "was originally wanted by a loyal prince". Needless to say, the granddaughter of Jia Fu, like Qin Keqing, the fifth ancestor of Jia Rong, was not allowed to use this kind of coffin in the hierarchical feudal era. Why did Qin Keqing use this coffin? In addition, even King Jing condescended to pay his respects. What are all these reasons? If Qin Keqing is just an ordinary lowlife, why does she have such a luxurious funeral just because she is Jia Rong's wife? I'm afraid that's not the reason
So I think Liu's conclusion is tenable. She is not only humble, but also quite noble, and even has a blood relationship similar to King Jing of Beijing.
