Jia She

Mm-hmm.

And, um, you know, having delivered it, uh, I, I mean, we, we've kind of covered it, but the gist is the reason I think Grandmother Jia finds the whole approach from Jia She so distasteful is I guess on, like, a couple of grounds.

But I mean, one, it's that he's already a grandfather himself.

You know, I would imagine that in age he's maybe in his mid to late 50s at least, and here he is, you know, sniffing around women at least 30 years his junior.

Mm-hmm.

Um, and, uh, you know, doesn't he have any shame? But also that Yuanyang to her, to Grandmother Jia, is this really indispensable servant, you know? Um, so, so when Lady Xing first goes to Yuanyang to ask whether she'll, you know, would be willing to be a concubine, she says, "You know, girls like you are very hard to find," without kind of recognizing the, the kind of inherent, I suppose, irony that, yes, that's exactly the point, and if Jia She takes her as a concubine, he would be depriving his own mother of this very kind of dependable, um, and capable servant.

Hmm.

Um, so it seems to be those two things especially that really kind of stick in, stick in her craw, so to speak.
