Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that when Baoyu heard Sheyue's words, she leaned back and died again. She was so anxious that Mrs. Wang couldn't stop crying.Sheyue knew that her slip of the tongue would cause disaster, and Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to talk about him at this time.While crying, Sheyue made up her mind, thinking: "If Baoyu dies, I will kill myself and follow him!" She didn't say what was in Sheyue's heart.Let's say Mrs. Wang waited until she saw that she couldn't come back, so she rushed to call someone out to find a monk for treatment.Unexpectedly, when Jia Zheng went in and out, the monk had disappeared.Jia Zheng was surprised. Hearing the commotion inside, he hurried in.Seeing that Baoyu was the same as before, her mouth was tightly closed and her pulse was gone.When I touched my heart with my hand, it was still warm.Jia Zheng had no choice but to ask a doctor to pour medicine for treatment.

But Baoyu's soul has already left her body.Do you think you are dead?But it turned out that he rushed to the front hall in a trance, saw the monk who gave the jade sitting, and saluted him.Monk Nazhi stood up, took Baoyu and left.Baoyu followed the monk, feeling as light as a leaf, fluttering, and didn't go out of the gate, but walked out from there.After walking for a while, I arrived at a wild place, and saw an archway from a distance, as if I had been there before.When I was about to ask the monk, I saw a woman coming in a trance.Baoyu thought to himself: "In such a wild place, there must be such a beautiful woman, and the gods must have descended from the realm." Baoyu thought, approached and took a closer look, and actually recognized some of them, but he couldn't remember them for a while.After seeing the woman and the monk face to face, she disappeared.When Baoyu thought about it, she looked like Third Sister You, and became more and more puzzled: "Why is he here?" When he was about to ask again, the monk pulled Baoyu past the archway, and saw the words "True as a Blessed Land" written on it. The big characters, with a couplet on both sides, are: False, true, true and false, nothing is right and wrong.Turning around the archway, there is a palace gate.There are four large characters written horizontally on the door saying "good fortune, good fortune, misfortune and misfortune".There is another pair, the big book says:

In the past and the future, it cannot be said that wisdom and virtuousness can break through. It is necessary to know that closeness does not meet each other because of the cause and effect.

Baoyu looked at it and thought to himself: "So that's the case. I want to ask about the coming and going of cause and effect."

Thinking about it this way, Yuanyang stood there beckoning to him.Baoyu thought, "I've been walking for half a day, but I never left the garden. Why did I change my appearance?" I was in a hurry to talk to the mandarin ducks, but they disappeared in a blink of an eye, so I couldn't help feeling puzzled.Walking to the place where Yuanyang stands, there is a row of side halls, with plaques everywhere.Baoyu didn't want to look at it, but ran to where Yuanyang stood.Seeing that the door of the side hall was ajar, Baoyu didn't dare to go in again, and was about to ask the monk in his heart, but when he turned around, the monk had long since disappeared.Baoyu was in a trance, seeing the majestic palace, which was definitely not the scene of the Grand View Garden.So he stood up and looked up at the plaque that read: "Induce love and infatuation".The couplet written on both sides says:

Joy, laughter and sorrow are all fake, and greed and longing are always due to ignorance.

Baoyu looked at it, nodded and sighed.He wanted to go in and ask Yuanyang where he was, and after careful consideration he knew him very well, so he bravely opened the door and went in.I looked around the house, but there were no mandarin ducks, it was just dark inside, and I was afraid.Just as he was about to exit, he saw more than a dozen large cabinets with their doors ajar.

Baoyu suddenly remembered: "I have been to this place in dreams when I was young. It is also a great fortune to be able to come here in person." In a trance, he forgot the idea of ​​looking for mandarin ducks.So he bravely opened the door of the big cabinet above and saw that there were several booklets. He liked it even more and thought, "Everyone dreams and says it's fake, but they don't know that if there is such a dream, there will be such a thing." .I always said that I can’t do this dream again, but I found it today. But I don’t know if that booklet has been seen before?” He reached out and took a copy from the top, and the book said “Jinling Twelve The book of hairpins".Baoyu took it and thought, "I remember that in a trance, but I just wish I couldn't remember clearly." Then he opened the first page and looked at it. He saw a painting on it, but the painting was blurred and could not be seen again.There are a few lines of handwriting in the back that are not clear, but can still be imitated, so I looked carefully and saw a "jade belt" with a word like "Lin" on it, and thought to myself: "Don't you mean Sister Lin?" Then he looked carefully, and found the word "Jinzanxueli" at the bottom. He was surprised and said, "Why does it look like his name?"

Fu combined the four sentences before and after and said: "There is no reason, but it is not surprising that his two names are hidden. Only that. The word for pity. The word for sigh is not good. How can this be explained?" Thinking of There, he spat again: "I was watching secretly. If I just think about it, if someone comes, I won't be able to see it." Then I looked back, and I didn't have time to play with the picture carefully, so I just looked at it from the beginning.Seeing a few lines at the end, such as "meeting and returning in a big dream", I suddenly realized: "Yes, the organization is really not good, this must be sister Yuanchun. If you understand it like this, I will copy it and play it carefully. Wake up, those sisters don’t know anything about their birthdays. I won’t reveal it when I go back, and I’m just a person who doesn’t know the future, which saves me a lot of thinking.” I looked around, but there were no pens and inkstones. Fearing that people will come, I have to look around.I saw a kite-flying person in Yingying on the picture, but I didn't want to look at it.Hastily read all the twelve poems.There are also things that you can know at a glance, some that you can get at a thought, and some that you don't quite understand, so keep them firmly in your heart.While sighing, he took a look at the << Jinling Youfu Volume > > > > and saw that "I am enviable and blessed to be an actor, but who knows that the son has no fate" I didn't understand before, and saw the shadow of the flower mat on it, and I was very excited. Startled crying.

When I was about to look back, I heard someone say: "You're in a daze again! Sister Lin invites you." It sounded like a mandarin duck, but when I turned around, I couldn't see anyone.I was startled and suspicious in my heart, when Yuanyang suddenly waved outside the door.When Baoyu saw it, he was so happy that he rushed out.But seeing the mandarin ducks walking indistinctly in front of them, they just couldn't catch up.Baoyu called out, "Good sister, wait for me." The mandarin duck ignored her and just walked forward.Baoyu had no choice but to rush there as hard as he could, and suddenly saw another cave, with towering pavilions, exquisite corners, and many palace ladies looming among them.Baoyu was so greedy for the scenery that he forgot about the mandarin ducks.Baoyu walked into a palace gate, and there were strange flowers and plants in it, which he couldn't recognize.There is only a green grass surrounded by white stone flower rings, the leaves are slightly red, but I don't know what the name of the grass is, so precious.I saw that where the breeze moved, the green grass was swaying endlessly. Although it was just a small grass without flowers, its charming appearance made my heart feel happy and my soul fade away.Baoyu just stared blankly, only to hear a person next to him say, "Where are you a fool, and you are here to spy on the fairy grass!"

Baoyu was taken aback when he heard this, but when he looked back, it was a fairy, so he saluted and said, "I'm looking for sister Yuanyang, and I strayed into the fairyland, please forgive my presumptuous crime. May I ask sister fairy, where is this place? Sister Yuanyang still says that it was Sister Lin who called me? Please let me know." The man said, "Who knows your sister, I'm in charge of the fairy grass, and no mortals are allowed to stay here." Baoyu wanted to come out, but he couldn't bear it. , I had to plead: "Since the fairy sister is the one who manages the fairy grass, she must be the flower god sister. But I don't know what the benefits of this grass are?" On the bank of the Ling River, it is called crimson bead grass. Because it withered at that time, fortunately a waiter of Shenying irrigated it with nectar every day, and it was able to live forever. Later, it descended to the world and repaid the favor of irrigation, and now it returns to the real world. So Fairy Jing Huan ordered me to take care of it, so as not to let bees entangle Butterfly Love."

Baoyu was puzzled when he heard this, and he suspected that he must have met the God of Flowers. Today, he must not miss it face to face, so he asked: "The one who takes care of this grass is the fairy sister. There are countless famous flowers that must be in charge of them. Dare to ask, who is the only one who takes care of the hibiscus flowers?" The fairy said: "I don't know, except my master Fang Xiao." Baoyu then asked: "Who is the master of my sister?" The fairy said: " My master is Concubine Xiaoxiang." Baoyu heard: "Yes, you don't know that this concubine is my cousin Lin Daiyu." The fairy said: "Nonsense. This place is the place of the Goddess of the Upper Realm. Although it is called Concubine Xiaoxiang, it is not If you are not of the generation of Ehuang and Nvying, how can you have any relationship with ordinary people. Don't come here and talk about it, just watch and ask Lishi to beat you out."

Baoyu was stunned when he heard this, and felt that he was filthy. He was about to leave when he heard someone rushing in and said, "Please call for the waiter of Shenying." You told me to go there." That one smiled and said, "Isn't it the one who retreated?" The maid rushed out and said, "Please come back, waiter Shenying." Baoyu only said that he was asking others, but he was afraid of being chased. Had to stagger and flee.As he was walking, he saw a person holding a sword in his hand and stopping him, saying, "Go there!" Baoyu was so frightened that he looked up with courage, but it was none other than Third Sister You.When Baoyu saw him, he calmed down a bit and begged, "Sister, why are you here to force me?" The man said, "None of your brothers is a good man, who loses his reputation and breaks his marriage. You are here today, why are you here?" I won't spare you!" Baoyu heard that the words were not good, and she was in a hurry, only to hear someone shouting from behind: "Sister, stop quickly, don't let him go." Third Sister You said: "I am waiting for you by order of my concubine. Hou has been for a long time, seeing you today, I will definitely cut off your mortal relationship with a single sword."

Baoyu became more and more busy after hearing this, but he didn't understand what these words meant, so he had to turn around and run.Unexpectedly, it was not someone else who spoke behind her, but Qingwen.When Baoyu saw it, he was full of grief and joy, and said, "I have lost my way alone. I met my enemy. I wanted to flee back, but I didn't see you alone following me. It's all right now, sister Qingwen, take me home quickly Go." Qingwen said: "You don't have to be suspicious, waiter. I am not Qingwen. I am here to invite you for a while at the order of my concubine. It is not difficult for you." Baoyu was full of suspicion, so he had to ask, "My sister said it was the concubine's name Me, who is that concubine?" Qingwen said: "You don't need to ask at this time, you will know when you get there." Baoyu had no choice but to follow.Looking closely at the man behind his back, it was Qingwen, and his face and voice were pretty good, "Why did he say no? My mind is fuzzy right now. Leave him alone. When I meet the concubine over there, it will be wrong. Then I will ask you He, after all, a woman's heart is merciful, so he must forgive my rashness." Just as he was thinking, he arrived at a place not long after.I saw exquisite palaces, brilliant colors, a clump of green bamboo in the courtyard, and several green pines outside.There were a few maids standing under the eaves of the corridor, all dressed in palace makeup. When they saw Baoyu coming in, they said quietly, "Is this the waiter Shenying?" The maid smiled and waved, and Baoyu followed.After passing several floors of houses, I saw a main room with bead curtains hanging high.The maid said, "Stand and wait for the order."

After Baoyu heard this, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to wait outside.Not long after the maid went in, she came out and said: "Please see the waiter." Another person rolled up the beaded curtain.I saw a woman, wearing a flower crown and embroidered clothes, sitting inside.Baoyu looked up a little, and saw that it was Daiyu's description, so he couldn't help saying: "My sister is here! It makes me miss it." The maid outside the curtain said quietly: "This waiter is rude, go out quickly." When it was over, I saw another servant put down the bead curtain.At this time, Baoyu wanted to stay in but dared not, and wanted to leave but was unwilling to give up. When he asked about it, he saw that the maids didn't recognize him, and he was expelled again, so he had no choice but to come out.I wanted to ask Qingwen, but I looked around, but there was no Qingwen.Suspicious in my heart, I had no choice but to come out sullenly, and no one was leading me. I was about to find the same way, but I couldn't find the old way.When I was in trouble, I saw Sister Feng standing under the eaves of a house and waving.When Baoyu saw it, he liked it and said, "Well, I'm back at my home. Why was I so confused for a while?" He rushed forward and said, "Is my sister here? I was teased by these people to this point. Sister Lin again Don't want to see me, I don't know why." Then, walking to the place where Sister Feng was standing, it turned out that it was not Sister Feng, but it turned out to be Jia Rong's ex-wife, Qin Shi.Baoyu had no choice but to stand still and ask, "Where is Sister Feng?" The Qin family didn't answer, but went into the house by itself.Baoyu was in a daze and didn't dare to follow in, so he stood there blankly and sighed, "What's wrong with me today? Everyone ignores me." Then he burst into tears.Seeing several yellow scarf warriors coming with whips, they said, "Where are men dare to break into our blessed land of heaven and earth, go out quickly!" Baoyu heard this, but dared not speak.Just as he was about to find his way out, he saw a group of women joking and coming from a distance.When Baoyu looked at it, it seemed that Yingchun was waiting for a group of people to come. He liked it in his heart and shouted, "I'm fascinated here. Come and save me!"Baoyu ran forward in a hurry, and suddenly saw that the group of women turned into ghosts and came to chase them.

Baoyu was in a hurry when he saw the monk who had brought the jade hold a mirror in his hand and said, "I am here to save you by the order of the imperial concubine Yuan."Baoyu pulled the monk and said: "I remember that you led me here, and you disappeared for a while. I saw many relatives, but they ignored me, and suddenly turned into ghosts. Whether it is a dream or real, I hope the teacher will clarify. "The monk said: "Have you ever peeked at anything here?" Baoyu thought for a moment: "Since he can take me to the blessed land of heaven, he is naturally a fairy. How can I hide it from him. Besides, I am about to ask." Then he said: "I saw a lot of brochures." The monk said: "But come again, don't you understand after seeing the brochures! Love in the world is all about those demonic obstacles. Just remember the things you have experienced carefully. I'll explain it to you in the future." As he spoke, he pushed Baoyu fiercely and said, "Go back!" Baoyu couldn't stand on his feet, fell down, and shouted, "Ah!"

Mrs. Wang was crying, when she heard Baoyu Su come, she called out quickly.When Baoyu opened his eyes to see, he was still lying on the kang, and his eyes were red and swollen when he saw Mrs. Wang and Baochai crying.After thinking about it, he said in his heart: "Yes, I came from death." Then he thought about what the soul had experienced, and fortunately he still remembered it, so he laughed and said: "Yes, yes."

Mrs. Wang only said that the old illness had relapsed, so she could delay the doctor's treatment, and ordered the girl and mother-in-law to tell Jia Zheng quickly, saying, "Baoyu came back. She was fascinated in her head. Now she speaks, there is no need to prepare for it later." It's over." Hearing this, Jia Zheng hurried in to have a look, and when he saw Baoyu Su coming, he said, "No idiot, are you going to scare someone to death!" As he spoke, tears flowed down unconsciously.Sighing a few more times, he still went out to call for a doctor to take a pulse and take medicine.Here musk moon was thinking of committing suicide, and when she saw Baoyu coming, she was relieved.Mrs. Wang asked someone to serve longan soup and told him to drink a few sips, and gradually regained his composure.Mrs. Wang was relieved, and she didn't say anything about Sheyue. She just asked someone to hand over the jade to Baochai for him to take. "I think of the monk. I don't know where the jade was found. It's also weird. Why do you want silver for a while? It's gone, could it be a fairy?" Baochai said: "Speaking of the influence of the monk's coming and going, the jade was not found. When it was lost in the head, it must have been taken by the monk." Mrs. Wang Said: "How can jade be taken at home?" Baochai said: "If you can send it, you can take it away." Xiren Sheyue said: "When I lost the jade that year, Uncle Lin tested a word, and then two Grandma passed through the door, and I told Second Grandma what the character for “testing” was. The word reward. Does Second Grandma still remember?”

Baochai thought: "That's right. You said that the test was found in a pawn shop, but now I understand that it belongs to a monk. The word "Shang" is on it. Didn't the monk take it away?" Mrs. Wang said: " That monk was originally weird. When Baoyu was ill that year, the monk said that our family had treasures to explain, and he was talking about this piece of jade. Since he knew, it is natural that this piece of jade has some origins. It’s in his mouth. Throughout the ages, have you ever heard of such a second one? It’s just that I don’t know what happened to the jade in the end, and even we don’t know what happened to this one. The disease is also the jade, and the good is also the jade. Life is also this piece of jade—” At this point, he suddenly stopped, and he couldn’t help but shed tears again.Baoyu heard this, but he also understood in his heart that he wanted to die even more for a reason, but he didn't speak, but remembered carefully in his heart.

At that time, Xichun said: "When I lost the jade that year, I also asked Miaoyu to invite the immortal, and said yes. There is an ancient pine under the Qinggeng Peak, what else. Come to my door and have a smile." Remember. Enter my door 'Three characters are very particular. Buddhism is the biggest method, I'm afraid my second brother won't be able to get in." Baoyu sneered a few more times after hearing this.When Baochai heard this, she frowned unconsciously and became startled.You Shi said: "You just said that you are a Buddhist again. Have you stopped thinking about becoming a monk?" Xichun laughed and said, "I will tell my sister-in-law that I have already given up meat." Mrs. Wang said: "Good boy, Amitabha, this idea is unacceptable." After hearing this, Xichun remained silent.Baoyu couldn't help sighing a few times when he thought of the poem "before the ancient Buddha with the green lamp".Suddenly I remembered the poem about a flower on a mat on a bed, looked at Xiren with my eyes, and shed tears again unconsciously.Everyone saw him laughing and sad, but they didn't understand what it meant, they only thought it was his old disease.Unexpectedly, when Baoyu came to the opportunity, he could firmly remember all the verses in the peeping book, but he didn't say it, because he had already had a prejudice in his heart.Leave it alone.

It is said that when people saw Baoyu die and come back to life, they were refreshed, and they took medicine for days, gradually recovering day by day.It was Jia Zheng who saw that Baoyu was ready, and Ding You was fine now. He remembered that Jia Amnesty would not know when he would be amnesty, and the old lady's coffin had been parked in the temple for a long time.Jia Lian then said: "My master thinks so well, it's better to take advantage of Ding You's doing a great job now. In the future, when my master becomes obedient, I'm afraid he won't be able to do what he wants. But my father is not at home, and my nephew doesn't dare to overstep. The master's The idea is very good, but this matter will cost thousands of silver. You will never be able to seize the stolen goods in the yamen." Jia Zheng said: "My idea is decided. I only ask you to come and discuss it because the uncle is not at home. What can I do? You can’t go out. There’s no one here now, so I’m going to bring back several pieces of wood. What kind of care should I take? I’m thinking of taking Brother Rong with me. Besides, there’s his wife’s coffin too. It's in it. There's also your sister Lin's. It's the old lady's last words that she went back with the old lady. I think it's enough to borrow a few thousand dollars for this item." Jia Lian said: "Now Human relations are too indifferent. The master, Ding You, and our master are outside again, so we can't borrow money for a while. We have to take the real estate documents and go out to escort." Jia Zheng said: "The house I live in is built by the government. Where is it? move."

Jia Lian said: "The house can't be moved. There are still a few houses outside that can be released, and they can be redeemed after the master recovers. In the future, when my father comes back, if he can use it again, it will be easy to redeem. It's just that the master is so big." Age, hard work, my nephews are really uneasy." Jia Zheng said: "The old lady's business should be done. As long as you are more careful at home, you can control it." Jia Lian said: "Master, just rest assured. , although my nephew is confused, I dare not take it seriously. Besides, the master must bring more people when he returns to the south, and the number of people left is limited, so the cost of this idea can still be paid. Pass by Lai Shangrong's place, but ask him to help." Jia Zheng said, "Why should I ask for help with my old man's affairs?" Jia Lian agreed "Yes", and then withdrew to plan for money.

Jia Zheng told Mrs. Wang to take care of the house, and he chose a day to start his long journey, and he was about to get up.Baoyu's body recovered at this time, but Jia Huan and Jia Lan were serious about studying. Jia Zheng was handed over to Jia Lian and asked him to discipline him, "This year is the year of the Dabi. If you are full, you can take the exam. Be sure to ask Baoyu to take the exam with your nephew. If you can win one of the candidates, you can atone for our crimes." Jia Lian and others only obeyed their orders.Jia Zheng ordered the people at home and said a lot before leaving the ancestral hall. After reading scriptures outside the city for a few days, he was led off the boat and took Lin Zhixiao and others away.It didn't alarm relatives and friends, only the men and women of my own family sent a ride back.

Baoyu ordered him to take the exam because of Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang urged him to take the exam from time to time.That Baochai Xiren often exhorts, needless to say.But Baoyu's spirit became longer and longer after his illness, but his thoughts became more strange, and he changed his mind.Not only did he dislike fame and career, but he also looked down on the love of women there.It's just that everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and Baoyu didn't say it.One day, when Zijuan came back from sending Lin Daiyu's coffin, she sat in her room and wept, thinking: "Baoyu is ruthless. He didn't cry when he saw sister Lin's coffin go back, and he didn't come to comfort me when he saw me crying like this. He looked at me and smiled. Such a heartless person used to coax us with flattering words! Thanks to my thoughtfulness the night before, otherwise I almost fell for his tricks again. It’s just one thing that is puzzling, but now I see him treating others like It's also cold. The second grandma didn't like to be intimate. Don't those people like Sheyue complain about him? I think the girls are mostly infatuated, and they spent all their time in vain. Let's see how it will end in the future!" Thinking about it, Wu'er came to see him, saw Zijuan's face full of tears, and said, "Sister misses Miss Lin again? It's better to be famous than to see it, and to listen to the girl in front of the second master Bao." , my mother repeatedly brought me in. Unexpectedly, I came in and tried my best to serve the sick a few times, but now I am cured, and there is not even a good word left, and now I simply don’t even look at it.”

Hearing what he said was funny, Zicuckoo gave a chuckle and spat, "Hey, you little hoof, how do you want Baoyu to treat you in your heart? The girl's family is not ashamed, even the fair-minded people in the house Seeing that he's all right and there are a lot of people, I have time to take care of you!" Yin smiled and wiped his face with a finger and asked, "Who are you Baoyu?" Knowing his slip of the tongue, he blushed.When I want to explain, I don't want Baoyu to think about it. He said that he didn't feel sorry for him recently. He just heard the noise outside the courtyard door: "The monk outside is here again. He wants the ten thousand silver. The wife is anxious and asks Lian Erye to talk to him. However, the second master Lian was not at home. The monk was talking crazy outside, and the wife asked the second grandma to discuss it." I don't know how to get rid of the monk, and I will explain it next time.
