Chapter 10 The Tenth Chapter: Infatuated Baoyu's Love Breaks into Beijing Mansion Huiyuan Concubine's Dream of Breaking the Iron Net Mountain

Let's say that Xiren saw Baoyu go out in a hurry early in the morning and came back after a while, but his eyes were dazzled and his face was full of sadness and hesitation. He was shocked and asked why.The people who followed must tell him how Mrs. Wang checked the imperial calendar and said that she wanted to marry Miss Bao for the second master, how Jia's mother said that Miss Lin had agreed to King Beijing, and how the wife ordered the courtyard to move out tomorrow, so that she could only be close to her. The maid followed out, and the rest were dismissed from the other courtyard.

After hearing this, the attacker secretly called out "bitterness", knowing that these things were all things that Baoyu hated in his life, not to mention marrying Daiyu, which is tantamount to cutting the liver and belly, picking the top of the heart, at this time in his heart I didn't know why I was suffering in all kinds of ways, so I had no choice but to sigh softly, and comforted me with soft words: "Miss Lin was smart all her life, so she was favored by the prince. I know what the second master is thinking. I grew up with Miss Lin. Once we are separated, we will naturally be reluctant. It's just that no matter how good the relationship between brothers and sisters is, there will be a marriage between a man and a woman, so we can't stay together For the rest of my life. Besides, the empress has pointed out Miss Bao on behalf of the second master. Could it be that just because the second master doesn't want to, can the master and wife resist the order? Let's say that although Miss Lin is good, she is not as kind and generous as Miss Bao. Regardless of her status, she is always kind to everyone She is angry, but not disrespectful of her status. She speaks and acts with propriety. She is really a daughter of a wealthy family. They have never blushed before, and they will come to be a grandmother in the future, so they will naturally be more harmonious. It's like Miss Lin, who quarreled for three days and two days, how much care did we follow in vain? Besides, Miss Bao is My wife's niece, my wife has always relied on him, and having him in charge of the house saves my wife a lot of trouble. Even the people under us are willing to rely on and control them from now on. This is a good thing of double happiness. Why is the Lord not happy?"

Baoyu said, "What's a good thing? It's much better to let my sister and I die together than it is now." He beat the bed and cried loudly.Xiren knew Baoyu's heart, and it was useless to persuade him. Because he used another plan, he was wronged and sobbed and cried: "Just now the second grandma sent someone to pass on my wife's words, saying that I should move out tomorrow, and said that I don't have to follow, just follow her." Keep the smart and reliable attendants, and the rest will be sent out, sold or sold. Because I have been ill these days, my wife is disgusted, and I feel uncomfortable. If I say move this time, I am afraid Don't want me to follow you anymore, you want to kick me out. Since I have this incurable disease, I don't think I can live for a few days, so I don't have any complaints when I get kicked out. I'm just afraid that if I leave, no one will take care of you. Okay. Now that you have made an appointment, Second Mistress is about to pass the door, so I will leave and there is nothing I can't let go of. I only have one sentence to tell you: If you are married, you will be an adult, and you can't mess around like before. As long as you remember Just listen to my words, and I will serve you with all my heart." As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel sad, and Hua Zhi trembled while covering her face and crying.

Baoyu saw the plain face of the flower, the half-old clothes, the dark clouds, the crow hairpin hanging down, crying like a pear flower with rain, he couldn't help touching the feelings of the past, and suddenly felt pity. Han Zhali's heart suddenly turned sad, there was still room to care about these things, so he could only reluctantly say: "My wife is urging me to move out every day, and this yard is about to be empty, and no one cares about those crabapples and plantains." Gu Gu, if you think about it, it will wither soon. Even the bright moon and the breeze will not stay in this empty and uninteresting yard. Not only you, but you will not come here for a few days, and everyone will leave. Even I don't know where I am, so how can I take care of you?"

Hearing him speak like this, Xiren was not as warm and intimate as usual, he was startled, he even forgot to cry, and instead became dazed.He knew that Baoyu's nature should not be persuaded by force, and an infatuated person must be moved by tenderness, so he deliberately said that he was going to leave, and moved him with some sad words, and really hoped that he would comfort him in turn, maybe it would be all right.Unexpectedly, the theory of "we must go away" was countered, and there was no nostalgia in the words. From this point of view, isn't the relationship we used to have with each other all a shadow?My heart suddenly turned gray, but I couldn't make up my mind.

But Jia Mu sent Baoyu away. She was tired and wanted to sleep for a while, and she didn't eat much for lunch. She just drank half a bowl of mint stalk rice porridge with wild lettuce mixed with salt and vinegar, and then lay down to rest.When I woke up, I felt chest tightness and stomach distension, so I sent a doctor to check the pulse, and at the same time sent someone to see how Baoyu was.But seeing Xiren's sick face, he ran to report in a panic that Baoyu had just left for Beifu.Mother Jia was taken aback, and scolded: "Why don't you stop such a big event?" The attacker knelt down and cried, "Why don't you stop, but the second master is crazy, punching and kicking, just want to go, the strength is too much." The big ones are afraid of people, so they can't stop them." Jia Mu sighed: "This is really self-inflicted, and I can't live."

For a while Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang came hurriedly, and they were all terrified. Mrs. Wang cried "Ouch" first: "This evil obstacle does not know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and it happens twice. Sometimes I throw jade, and sometimes I go crazy with make-up. How many times have I hung up?" The heart of the year is now simply making a fuss in the palace. Speaking out, it is always that I have not been strict in teaching my son, and let him be lawless, forgetting about etiquette, justice, shame, dignity and inferiority, and causing such an ugly disaster." Jia When my mother heard this, she became more and more troubled, and then she heard Jia Zheng's scolding, "I don't know how to live or die, I regret that I didn't strangle him to death with a rope, but you stopped me again, so I made a disaster", she pointed and reprimanded. : "I know how much you think that I spoil Baoyu at ordinary times, and let him be lawless. I just wish I would leave your eyes for a while. It's just that Baoyu is in the dragon's pool and tiger's lair, so don't worry about it. Help, just say these insignificant cruel words, do you have to watch him die to be satisfied?" Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang fell silent.

While Sister Feng was comforting, she hurriedly sent the boy to inquire. After a while, she came back and said, "We are having a banquet in the North Mansion, and the prince entertained me so affectionately."Mother Jia waited for this to feel relieved.Stretching his neck and waiting until sunset, he still didn't come back, so he sent Jia Lian to take someone to pick him up. Until nightfall, I saw that Jia Lian was still coming back alone, saying that the prince, because the foreign kings and princes of feudal counties had been lingering in the mansion recently, saw the good man of Jia's son, and felt admiration, so he urged the prince to stay with Baoyu for a long time. For a few days, we talked to each other about learning, practiced bows and arrows, etc., but asked the family to pack up some replacement clothes and send them over.Jia's mother wept and said, "I don't know what earth-shattering stupid things Baoyu went to say, and taught them to use this strategy of burning jade and stone together. I guess if we don't send that jade away, I'm afraid this jade will never come back. " Then he burst into tears.Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, etc. were also panicked, and they ordered Baoyu's things to be sent overnight.

A sleepless night.Early the next morning, Jia's mother called Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng to come to the room to discuss, and called Jia Zheng and Jia Lian to come, and ordered Sister Feng: "It's time now, don't just avoid taboos, and ignore those." Agreed, bowed shyly and stood behind Jiamu.On the contrary, Jia Zheng stood sideways because Xifeng was Mrs. Wang's nephew and his nephew's daughter-in-law, and said to his mother, "I heard from Yucun yesterday that the prince of Beijing is determined to win his niece. Feng Ziying inquired about her background and made a special trip to pick up Yucun in a car. He must be very grateful for allowing him to make this marriage. Yucun was enlisted in a book because of his poor official luck a while ago, and he is looking for a way out everywhere. Now that he has this opportunity Why don't you try your best? Because he had some friendship with me in the past, he didn't hide a word from me. He explained the cause and effect. In terms of it, it was Baoyu's fault. He was ostentatious, so he spread the word and let the King of the North know about it, so he had this intention. I used to say that he was a troublemaker, and it was really good, but now he has finally come to the world." Jia Mu said unhappily: "It's tight here. Discuss saving his life, and you just talk about these disturbing words. If you want to control your son, how much can you not control when he comes back? Now I just scold him in front of my ears. Could it be that he is trapped in Beifu for the rest of his life? Wouldn't it be better if you don't come back?" Then she started to cry again, and Mrs. Wang also cried.

Seeing that his mother was angry, Jia Zheng didn't dare to speak anymore; Mrs. Wang just lowered her head and cried without saying a word; Jia Lian didn't dare to speak when seeing her elders in front of her; He persuaded before him: "I know that sister Lin, whom our ancestors do not want to let go, is only the first one. Although my granddaughter is close, I can't kiss my grandson; what's more, the prince of Beijing, who is under one person and above ten thousand, does not disgrace my sister's lintel." Character, since he did everything possible to find out the origin of his younger sister, and specially invited his mentor who was his sister to be a matchmaker. A thousand pieces of gold, are you afraid that you won’t be worshiped as a Bodhisattva? Sister Lin has such a character and talent, and when she enters the palace, she can’t do without a crown of pearls and a phoenix jacket, wearing gold and silver. Even though there is no decree, there has been a verbal order, 100% of the time, 90% of the time, the old lady is waiting for the mother to return to Beijing, this matter is also difficult. It is better to send someone to take Lin sister's horoscope Send it to the mansion, accept the marriage, and tell the prince that although it is a rare fortune for Baoyu to be taught in the mansion, but the empress has an order, and the mansion is rushing to hold a wedding for Brother Bao. Well, hold on to Brother Bao again. Wouldn’t it be good for both?”

At this point, Jia's mother had no choice but to agree.The matter has come to this point, and it is difficult to hide it, so Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng accompanied her to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in person to tell Daiyu about it.When I entered the garden, I saw colorful fallen flowers and green leaves, and a few sparrows were jumping and snatching food on the gravel road, but no one came and went. I thought of the joy of grandchildren and daughters in the past surrounded by flowers, and now Yingchun is dead. At that time, Xiangyun was about to marry, and Daiyu went out again, and the garden became more and more deserted.I couldn't help feeling sad and sad, and as soon as I walked, the whole party shed tears.Fortunately, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is not far away, and a little girl rushed to tell her that several girls and women were enjoying the shade under the bamboo, so they rushed out to greet them. Zijuan had just waited on Daiyu to take the medicine, and Xueyan was doing needlework, when the little girl flew to report that the old lady was coming, so she hurried forward to meet her and opened the curtain.Daiyu also got busy, invited Ann coquettishly and timidly, and helped the old lady to sit down on the chicken wing wooden chair in front of the window, and ordered Zijuan and Xueyan to move the chairs to Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng.Sister Feng refused to sit down, and took up the work of Xueyan to look at it.Xueyan poured out tea, Daiyu personally offered the first cup to Jiamu, the second cup to Mrs. Wang, and Zijuan took another cup to Sister Feng.Mother Jia took the tea and sniffed it, and said, "This is sparrow tongue. Why don't you brew the Mingqian Longjing from Qianer?" .” Mother Jia nodded, then glanced at Sister Feng's hand again, and asked Xueyan, "How about the screen embroidery last time? Are you busy doing this?" Dare to suspend work. It’s just that the embroidery is too large and requires a lot of stretching, so Sister Zijuan specially cleaned up the room over there and let me do embroidery work. The one in my hand is for Miss Qin’s good business is approaching, so hurry up first Came out as a congratulatory gift." When Sister Feng saw Jia Mu gossiping, she knew it was difficult for her to speak, so Mrs. Wang naturally refused to speak, so she had to laugh first and said, "Not only is sister Qin's good deeds approaching, but also sister Lin's. Sister Lin is overjoyed. My son is here to congratulate my younger sister." Lin Daiyu had seen Jia Mu's complexion and Mrs. Wang's strange attitude earlier, and now she heard Sister Feng's strange words, so she knew the reason. For a while, she had more than a dozen thoughts in her mind, and said with a smile: " What joy do I have? Naturally, the old lady is having a happy event, so let's celebrate together." Mother Jia beckoned Daiyu to sit on her knees, rubbed her face and sighed, "My dear boy, I'm sorry to see you being so smart. It is satisfactory, so I answered the old saying: There are hundreds of women in a family. Now even the Beijing Palace has sent Jia Yucun, who taught you before, to ask for employment, and wants to accept you as a concubine. In the past, food and clothing The cost is the same as that of a concubine, the same book of treasures and imperial edicts, and another courtyard is built to live in. Our family used to have a concubine, and now there is a concubine. Your parents' Ying Linger must be willing to see it in the sky. .” Daiyu only listened to the sentence "Prince Beijing is looking for employment", and her blood was welling up, her body became heavy, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. none.Zijuan and Xueyan were also stunned, they rubbed their chests and rubbed their backs, and called repeatedly. After a while, Daiyu came back to her senses, gritted her teeth, and only asked, "Did the old lady agree?" When Jia Mu saw him like this, she couldn't help crying, and said, "Why am I willing to agree? It's just that Baoyu fell into a daze when he heard this yesterday. Now you are still being held there, and you don't know whether it's life or death. Good boy, I also know that you don't want it in your heart, but the ancestor of King Beijing was originally the head of the four kings. Da, the dignity of status, is just like the sky. In a word, it is only slightly worse than the imperial decree. How dare we small families and common people dare to throw eggs against stones? If you do not agree to your marriage, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Baoyu to come back. I know that you brothers and sisters have been kind since childhood. If he has something good or bad about him, you don't want it in your heart, so you agreed to it for you. If you want to complain, blame me, a useless person. Get old." Hearing this, Daiyu suppressed her tears, knelt down and said, "What does the old lady say? Daiyu was brought up by her grandmother since she was a child. If she didn't love her, how could she live to this day? Besides, the elders should make the decisions about marriage. The old lady is most willing to plan for me, how can there be any mistakes?" When Jia Mu heard him speak like this, she became more and more ashamed. She hugged Daiyu'er and cried loudly. She just said: "My dear boy, you must be considerate of my heart. You must know that I don't mean to be so, but there is a little way." I can think of it, and I will definitely not let you go out. Why don't I want you to be filial in front of me for the rest of my life? I will keep you as my companions for the day I live, and I will keep you as companions for the day until the day I die. Kowtow in front of you to die, but you can swallow this breath." Sister Feng was very sad when she heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "The old ancestor said that, and now Brother Bao and Sister Lin are married, one is married by the empress, and the other is the prince. Applying for employment is a good thing for double happiness. If you think it will take less than two years, it will bloom and bear fruit. The ancestors will be full of children and grandchildren. What happened a hundred years later?" After listening to this sentence, Daiyu realized that apart from the marriage proposal in the Beijing Palace, there was also a talk of giving a marriage. It turned out that Baoyu also had a marriage contract, so it was undoubtedly "gold and jade".This was originally the first important thing on his mind, once confirmed, he suddenly calmed down.Knowing that there was nothing to do, but the situation was calm, he got up and took off his clothes, bowed respectfully to Jiamu and said: "The hairpin's life is fixed, and grandma can also forget about one thing from now on. In the future, the two houses will be prosperous and prosperous. The blessings are endless, the old lady is healthy and healthy, and everything is in order, which is what the filial piety hopes for." Seeing that he is so knowledgeable, Jia's mother likes him, so she supports her with her own hands and says, "I can see what you like. If I get married, I will not live in vain for decades." After a long while, I felt tired, so I got up and left. Mrs. Wang followed and said with a smile: "I just said that Miss Lin would not mess around with Baoyu. The two of them just grew up together, and they are a little closer than others. When it comes to marriage, it is natural. It's the matchmaker's words, the parents' order. Besides, who wouldn't like it if she became a princess? Even Baoyu, who can marry a gentle and virtuous lady like Miss Bao, naturally likes it." Mother Jia didn't want to say anything, she just called Sister Feng Hurry up and write a post about Daiyu's birthday, seal it in a brocade bag, send it to Beifu, and then send a sedan chair to pick Baoyu back without mentioning it. Let's say that Lin Daiyu's life is full of thoughts, thoughts, doubts and beliefs, which are nothing more than the word "Baoyu".Now I suddenly heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky, the general situation is gone, thousands of thoughts have been turned into ashes, and I feel that there is nothing to miss, so I sent Jiamu to go with a daze, because I turned to Zijuan and smiled: "That's good, don't worry about it anymore. Heartbroken." After saying that, he lay down in the tent, covered his face with the handkerchief, and said nothing.All the women and maids came forward to congratulate her, but Daiyu didn't move and ignored her.Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other in dismay, both of them were puzzled in their hearts, but they didn't dare to persuade them, so they sent everyone away and sat aside in a daze.After a long while, seeing that Daiyu didn't see any movement, I didn't know what was going on in his heart.Zijuan just heard Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's few words, about Daiyu's marriage, and Baoyu's marriage, and said "Baoyu can't come back." People are waiting to inquire.Then he whispered a few words to Xueyan, asking him to look at the girl well, and then withdraw to Yihong Courtyard by himself. Xueyan picked up the stretcher and embroidered a few stitches, then looked back at Daiyu, saw that there was no sound at all, and thought she was asleep, but saw that the silk used to cover her face was wet, and the pillow towel was also wet to a large extent. , I realized that the girl was crying again.Seeing Daiyu crying like this, he cried too. He came and pushed Daiyu and said, "Girl, if you have anything to say, just say it, and you will cry, and you will cry openly." Don't worry about it in your heart, and if you get sick and ruin your body, what can you do?" Daiyu pulled away the silk, sighed softly, and said, "What do you want from him with this body? "Before he finished a word, he coughed and coughed, and half of his body was about to vomit.Xueyan rushed over to help her, and Daiyu spit out all the medicine she took in the morning, and kept retching.Xueyan is small and weak, so she feels that she can't hold on, so she wraps around Daiyu's thin shoulders with one hand, and lifts up his hair with the other, yelling "Sister Zijuan, come quickly".Chunxian and Wang Momo heard it from outside and rushed in. When they saw Daiyu like this, they were surprised and exclaimed: "What's the matter? It was fine just now, but it's gone in a blink of an eye. How sick is it?" Xueyan cried, There is an answer there.That Daiyu hoarse, exhausted, vomited a cup of tea time, Fang gradually stopped, already exhausted, closed her eyes tightly, Ren Xueyan cried, wiped her face, and even opened her eyes to respond I have no strength.Wang Momo didn't see well, so she hurriedly sent someone to go back to Sister Feng. It happened that an imperial doctor came to see Jia Mu for a follow-up visit. As soon as he got his pulse out to talk to Jia Lian, Jia Lian took advantage of the opportunity and invited him to the Xiaoxiang Hall.After being diagnosed for a while, because of the saying "Stagnation of qi hurts the liver, liver qi is rebellious, it is bound to overcome the spleen and invade the stomach, resulting in obstruction of qi and blood, loss of harmony in the stomach and vomiting. And because of insufficient endowment, acquired disorders, or abnormal hunger and fullness, overwork, and Prolonged illness and deficiency are the root causes of spleen and stomach weakness. Stomach pain is only a symptom now, and regulating the liver and spleen is the root.” Then he prescribed a prescription and asked about his daily diet. Zicuckoo agreed through the curtain, and then he Advised: "It's all right to eat, drink less tea, honey is more suitable, steamed in water, and take it on an empty stomach before eating. It will be effective in less than a month." Zijuan remembered it carefully.Jia Lian sent the doctor out. When the medicine was prepared and delivered, Zicuckoo wept while watching the fire frying in person, and brought it to Daiyu.Daiyu didn't even look at it, she knocked it over casually, still covered her face with the silk, and remained silent.Zijuan knew that it was useless to comfort her, so she sent everyone out, and said honestly, "Just now, I went to Yihong Courtyard to inquire whether the second master had come back. Xiren and Sheyue were crying with their heads in their arms. It turns out that the old lady also Those who didn't want to let the girl out of the cabinet had no choice but to be urged by the mansion again and again, but Baoyu accidentally smashed the jasper vat that the prince gave him, and everyone knew about it. So I had to agree; when Baoyu heard the old lady betrothed the girl, she burst into tears and broke her head, and then ran to the mansion to ask the prince to reason. , only assuming that he intends to marry Miss Bao, but in fact, how can we let us go?" He also started to cry. At first Daiyu heard Jiamu say that she would give him to Beifu, she was so angry that she didn't think clearly, and she made up her mind to ask for death; All self-pity and self-pity were put away, and instead, they began to worry about Baoyu, took off the silk and asked, "Has he come back now?" Zijuan said, "The palace is holding Baoyu because of the girl's refusal." I promised the marriage, so that's why; now that the old lady hastened to get someone to deliver the girl's geng post, she knows that she will come back in two days." Daiyu thought that she had promised to be the concubine of the King of Beijing from then on, and lived with Baoyu in this life. It's hard to be reunited forever, so I couldn't help sighing, tears streaming down my face, and said: "Forget it, forget it, wait for him to come back and see you again, death is all right." Zijuan listened, her heart felt like a frying knife, and she cried, "What did the girl say about life and death? As the saying goes: If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood. Now let's change Baoyu and come back, and then think about it slowly." Procrastinating, I really can't procrastinate, there is still a thirty-six strategy to go. At that time, the girl only said that the second master would accompany her back to the south to worship the ancestors, and she left without knowing it. I don't believe that the Beijing Palace can still The whole world is hanging red and arrested." Daiyu heard this, her plain face flushed, and she scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, this is what a girl's family said? If someone hears it, do you want to die?" Unexpectedly, when Aunt Zhao inquired about the Beijing Palace asking for Daiyu's employment, she had another thought, thinking that in the past, Baoyu would go to the palace every now and then, and would never bring her brothers with her. The two mansions were married, and it was only natural for Jia Huan to visit again. At that time, making friends with princes and princes, going out to generals and meeting ministers were all like taking things out of pocket.It's better to curry favor with Daiyu before she is married, so as to prepare for future visits.After thinking about it, he planned a speech and went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.It happened that the snow geese waited for Zijuan to send them out, so they embroidered from the back. Chun Xian'er went to get honey from Sister Feng, but she didn't come back. He walked to the window, listening to it filled my ears, and when I was about to listen to it again, my girl, Xiao Que, almost slipped and fell on the stone, and with a thud, Aunt Zhao staggered.Aunt Zhao was taken aback and scolded: "I'm a hoof, I'll doze off even when I'm standing up, so I never fell." Zijuan was startled, and asked in surprise, "When did my aunt come?" Aunt Zhao was embarrassed, and said with a sneer, "I just entered the door, and I was about to congratulate the girl." As she spoke, she lifted the curtain and came in, seeing the medicine bowl Knocked down to the ground, he shouted in a fuss, "What's the matter? Zijuan, hurry up and sweep it with a broom. The room smells like medicine. It's not good to spoil the girl. The girl is looking to be a princess. Yes, your body is not as good as it used to be, from now on you have to be more careful when you take things, you can’t be so clumsy, you will pass through the door in the future, and make people laugh at our house for having no rules.” When Daiyu heard the word "Princess", she felt harsh and piercing, and couldn't help coughing and wheezing again. Zijuan hurriedly stepped forward to pat her, and then raised her voice to call people.Xueyan waited to come from behind, and when she saw Aunt Zhao, she was taken aback for a moment, and when she saw tears in Daiyu's eyes, with no blood on her face, she guessed that Aunt Zhao had said something unpleasant, and felt angry. But it was inconvenient to offend them, so they all laughed dryly and said, "It turns out that my aunt is here. Auntie, sit down and wait for us to sweep the house before pouring tea." Those who picked up the broom took the broom, and those who picked up the dustpan picked up the dustpan. No one greeted Aunt Zhao. .Zijuan scolded deliberately again: "Little hooves without winks, I didn't know where to hide just now to enjoy the cool air, but now the girls are not feeling well, but they all crowded into the room again, what are you doing in an airtight way? Open the window and let some air in?" Aunt Zhao frowned when she heard this, and she almost never screwed the water out, and said in a whimpering way: "Since the girl's phoenix is ​​not healthy, it's not good for the girl to greet me, so please. When the girl is well, come to say hello some other day." She said, but didn't move. But Chun Xian'er took honey from Sister Feng, showed it to Daiyu, and said, "This is the second grandma who specially dug it out for the girl. She said that it is different from ordinary honey, but it is collected by bees and specially supplied to the queen bee." The queen bee eats the best food. This small bottle is more effective than ten bottles of ordinary honey." Zicuckoo took it, and saw that it was a small white jade bottle of suet, with a round belly and two thin ends. Exquisite and meticulous, the bottle is pasted with printed gold paper, with the words "Fenglu Jingqiu" written on it. When the stopper is pulled out, there is only a faint fragrance, which is said to be floral, but also has a refreshing air of grass and trees. It is really unusual. Honey is different.He hurriedly fetched a bowl and poured half of it, and asked the little girl to steam it over water according to the method the doctor said.Aunt Zhao was waiting to leave, so she leaned forward again, salivating and said: "A few days ago, Huan'er was not well, and the doctor also asked him to find some honey to eat, and asked him to give it to Second Mistress. I gave some old honey from Sophora japonica flowers, the color is neither red nor yellow, and the smell is neither fishy nor sweet. Where can I eat it? The girl can't finish eating these for a while, so she ate them up. If there is any more, why don't you share some with me? Huaner eats." When Xueyan heard this, she felt unbelievable, and stared at him.But when Daiyu heard Chunxian say that the honey was originally for the queen bee, she couldn't help touching the matter of "conferring the king and queen", and she was disgusted, and she had no intention of curing diseases, so she didn't care about a bottle of honey.Seeing Aunt Zhao begging for it, she simply said, "I'm not used to honey either. Auntie wants it, so let's take the bottle." He snatched it from the inside, turned it over, looked at it and said, "It's such an exquisite bottle. People need clothes, horses need saddles, and a bottle of honey. Just by looking at the utensils in it, you can tell that their identities are different." gone. Here Zijuan is still helping Daiyu to lie down, and because she came out to twist the towel, Xueyan asked quietly: "The surname Zhao is neither early nor late. Something." Zijuan said: "Whoever said it wasn't, came here for no reason, and said a car full of nonsense and unremarkable things. The girl hasn't become a princess yet, so he became the emperor first." Not to mention the discussion between the two of them, but also to say that Xiren went out from Baoyu, and he hadn't touched his teeth for two days and nights. For a while, he wondered how Baoyu lived in that mansion, and for a while, he remembered how desperate he was when he left. He kicked, beat, and kidnapped himself, without any affection. For a while, he thought that it would be great to marry Miss Bao as his second mistress, but Miss Lin had been in love with him since childhood, and they separated abruptly. What can I do if I suffer from dementia again?So thinking about it, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.Every time I heard the ding-dong of the iron horse on the eaves, I thought it was Baoyu coming back and knocking on the door, or the sound of plantain leaves blowing in the wind, but it was only the sound of footsteps.If this happens several times, they cannot lie down peacefully.Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard a peck on the window lattice, and someone whispered with a smile: "Sister Xiren, come out and see, the second master is back." In a trance, Xiren turned over and sat up, put on some clothes casually, and went outside.Opening the door, a gust of cool wind blows through the wall, only to see a bright moon, flowers falling all over the garden, but it is quiet and there is no one, but there is a slight rain.Xiren was taken aback, and only then did he really wake up. He felt a chill on his back, and couldn't help being horrified. He secretly said: Although Qingwen is dead, her soul only stays with Yihong Courtyard. , It is often said that death will never leave this door, is it true?What's more, there is a good moon, but it is sunny and rainy, I'm afraid there is some reason.Could it be that Qingwen didn't want Baoyu to go out because of his wife's order to move out of the garden tomorrow, so she came to show her soul again?If you blindly stubborn, I'm afraid it will be ominous.Thinking this way, he recruited some evil spirits into the sickness, and the disease became more serious without knowing it. In the second half of the night, the rain became more and more urgent, like sand and beans being sieved, the attacker tossed and turned, and usually did not sleep well all night.Early the next morning, Mrs. Wang sent someone in to pass on a message, telling everyone in the garden to avoid it, and a woman brought someone in to move it.The attacker struggled to get up, ignoring the early harvest of the shower, soaked in the shade of the flowers, came out of the garden, and the wind servant girl knelt in front of Mrs. Wang and said: "Madam wants the second master to move out, it is for the second master's good." However, the second master is still in the mansion and has not returned. Although he heard that the old lady has sent someone to pick him up, he expected to return. However, the board and lodging there in the past two days must not be satisfactory, and it is easy to return. When I get home, I see people going to the empty building again. Can I not be shocked and sad, and the second master is the most affectionate person, so he has to think wildly. Stuffing up is a small matter, but it hurts the body. Madam, please think carefully, I was the one who persuaded my wife in the past If the second master is going to be moved out, is there any reason why he would not want him to stay in the garden? It’s just that things at home have been happening one after another recently, one wave of ups and downs, and another wave. The day before yesterday, the second master was sad because of the second girl. , and looking for life and death for Miss Lin, and now I’m moving to another living place, I’m not used to it for a while, and I’m angry with my wife, which hurts the relationship between mother and child. It’s not good. So I thought about it for two days before I dared to risk my life to be with my wife Discuss, I beg my wife to wait a little longer to bring up the matter of relocation, if my wife thinks I'm talkative, she can beat me to death without complaint." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang woke up like a dream, and she helped Xiren up with her own hands and said: "My good boy, you are really considerate for him. If it's not thanks to your reminder, I seem to have missed a big deal. If this is the case, let those people come back, Let's move again in two days. Now I should prepare some calming pills and reassurance pills, at least let him calm down first." Seeing Xiren gone, he nodded and sighed twice, then went to Jiamu's place after washing up. Mother Jia sent someone to the Beijing Palace to listen to the news, Jia Lian was worried, and then took a servant to pick him up on horseback.Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and others gathered in the front hall and waited. Jia Zheng did not go out, but only waited in the study to listen to the news.Sister Feng couldn't be idle, she took care of things when she went home, and then took a look at Jiamu's side, said a few words of relief, went back to the garden, watched the monthly money, and walked out through the hallway. , stand on the steps of the vertical flower door in person.When the boys at the second door saw them, they all stood with their hands down and their shoulders crossed, not daring to raise their heads. Sister Feng stood for a while without speaking, and turned around to go to the Baosha at the corner gate.All the women hugged and called for the tea stove manager. Zhou Rui's family got the letter, and came up with a gust of wind, and said to Sister Feng, "Why did grandma come out in person today? Don't ask a slave to pass it on, so that you can call me." Let's prepare. Look at the dirt in this house, and be careful that grandma's clothes are dirty." The old lady smiled and said, "What is Sister-in-law Zhou talking about? This Baosha is cleaned every day, and the master is prepared to sit and rest, and never let anyone else go Come in." Zhou Rui's family only pretended not to hear, and wiped and wiped the chair surface with their sleeves. Fang helped Sister Feng to sit down, and said bluffingly: "Where can I drink this tea? Why don't you ask Liu's family to wash it?" Here comes the pot and stew it again." He went inside to pass the tea.Sister Feng didn't gossip with others, and pulled out a silver-gilt passionflower carved flower inlaid emerald ear-digging hairpin from her temples to pick out her ears, silently lost in thought. For a while, Xing'er, Jia Lian's servant, came back first, and Sister Feng hurriedly came in and asked him, "How is Er Ye?"Sister Feng became irritable: "Are you deaf or dumb?" Xing'er hurriedly kowtowed before she dared to say, "I don't know which second master Grandma is asking?" Remembering that I didn't understand what I said, I asked, "How is the second master Bao?" Xing'er replied, "It's been done, and I'll be home." Sister Feng felt relieved and asked again, "Where is the second master Lian?" Xing'er said: "I came back with the second master Bao." Sister Feng scolded: "Since the two masters are back, why don't you understand why you can't answer? Just say that the second master is back, don't you just have to? You are stupid." A stupid thing with a tongue." Now that you have the letter, you don't delay, and hurry to report to Jiamu, so that Jiamu can rest assured. After another cup of tea, Jia Lianfang came back with Baoyu.Baoyu was anxious to go back to the garden.Seven or eight young men came up to meet him at the door, scrambling to report: "The old lady, the master, and the wife are all waiting in the hall. They said that the second master is coming back and will see him immediately." Jia Lian hurriedly hugged Baoyu and persuaded him. "Good brother, since you have a thousand mouths and 10,000 important things, let me see the old lady and the lady first." Pulling towards Jia Mu. Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang had already come out to welcome Baoyu, and when they saw Baoyu, they hugged her in their arms, and her son burst into tears, scolding, "How can you do such a terrible thing, you unworthy bastard? If you have something good or bad, will you let me live with your mother?" Mrs. Wang almost lost her breath from crying, Li Wan held her tightly and wept. When Jia Zheng got the letter and came, Li Wan hurriedly avoided it, and Baoyu hurriedly came over and knelt and kowtowed, apologizing to his father for his hard work.Jia Zheng burst into tears and scolded: "Nizi, what kind of place is the Beijing Palace? It looks like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. How can you allow such a rebellious beast to run wild? If you anger the prince, you will destroy this family.时，看你有几条命来抵罪？”宝玉跪着回道：“并不敢撒野胡闹，不过是登门拜访，负荆请罪，王爷只说不知者不罪，并不曾发怒，反设席相邀，留我在府上住了几日，每日听戏观花，十分礼遇。临行还赠了这把扇子。”说罢向袖中取出，双手奉与父亲。 贾政接过来，见是一柄四十四骨樱桃红木、青绿两面夹纱的高丽贡扇，正面是一幅山水真迹，背面题着水溶亲笔抄录的石榴皮题壁句：“白酒酿来因好客，黄金散尽为收书。”看罢，不禁叹了两声，连说：“孽障，孽障。”垂下泪来。贾母向贾政斥道：“他在那府里拘了这几日，好不容易得了命逃生回来，一口茶还没喝，你就又来震唬了。他刚回来，魂儿还没定，再被你唬病了，我是不依的。”贾政只得权且告退，自回书房中长吁短叹。贾母便又问些在北静王府里起居饮食诸节，听说不曾为难，放下心来，叹道：“且往后走着瞧吧。” 接着邢夫人、薛姨妈并宁府里也各打发人来问候。王夫人还欲说话，宝玉推说骑马累了，只要回房去歇。贾母便道：“他从生下来也没经过多少事情，这几日够他受的，叫他且回自己屋里睡一觉儿，回过魂儿来再说吧。”王夫人见他神思恍惚，形容憔悴，虽有满腹的话要说，也只得权且搁下，放他去了。 麝月、秋纹早在园门口接着，见宝玉走来，便如见了活菩萨一般，迎上来道：“你可回来了。满院子人几日里通没睡过一个囫囵觉，袭人只差没有急死在这里。” 宝玉随手脱了大衣裳交在他们手中，三步并作两步走在前头。麝月见不是往怡红院去的路，不禁愣了一愣，忙婉转劝道：“二爷好不容易回来，总得先回房里换件衣裳，喝杯茶，喘匀了气儿再去看林姑娘。那有出门两三天，不回家先串门子的理？况且袭人姐姐病的正重，只为二爷担心，两三天里饭也不曾吃过一口，才是我强按着方答应不出来迎候，这会儿正伸着脖子苦等呢，二爷好忍心教咱们空等？”宝玉道：“既这样，你就先回去说一声儿，说我一切都好，到潇湘馆里略坐坐就来的。”说着话，脚下更不停留，早一溜烟脚不沾地的去了。 麝月同秋纹抱着衣裳，眼睁睁望着背影儿叹了两声，无奈何，只得回房来说与袭人。袭人愣了半晌，叹道：“我倒只担心他累了饿了，只怕他心里再不会为自己算计，就只有他林妹妹。”原还躺在床上只望宝玉回来安慰两句的，此时便也无心再睡，挣扎着起来，重新洗脸匀面，不肯教病容落在他眼里。 这里宝玉一径来至潇湘馆。紫鹃一天几次的往怡红院里打听着，也已知道宝玉回来了，早已报与黛玉，打量着过午必来的，谁料他这会儿便来了，看身上的衣裳未换，便知是刚进园子，遂问：“从那里来？”宝玉道：“从老太太处来。”说着，便随身坐在黛玉榻前，问他，“身上觉的怎么样？大夫来过没有？可吃过药不曾？晚上睡的好不好？” 黛玉眼中早滚下泪来，哽咽道：“你别只顾着问我，这两日，在那府里住的怎样？你怎么这样大胆，竟然……”说着又咳起来。宝玉忙道：“妹妹放宽心，如今可大好了。我已向北静王爷明明白白说了心里的话，王爷已亲口允了我，说原不知我有这个心，所以才求人下聘，如今既知道了，君子不夺人所爱，再不会教人来提亲了。临我去时，还赠了我许多礼物，且许我将来成亲之日，还要亲来向妹妹道贺呢。”黛玉听了，满面通红，急道：“你说你自家的事，别扯上我。”宝玉叹道：“妹妹恼我，我也要说的。平素都是因为宝玉一味小心，不敢明白说出心里的话，才惹的妹妹疑心，众人又金一句玉一句的混说混比，拉扯旁人，倒惹妹妹烦恼。这回我索性打破了这个闷葫芦，把我的心思在老太太、太太跟前剖白个通透，便是死了，也不屈。”黛玉先还愣愣的听着，及到最后一句，正碰在心坎儿上，不禁哭的哽咽难言，便要责他大胆妄言，也是无力。紫鹃也觉伤感，连劝也忘了，只在一旁拿着绢子垂泪。 宝玉不禁也哭了，益发说道：“好妹妹，我的肠子都碎了，你还只管哭。我早说过我这个心里除了妹妹再无第二个人，妹妹只不信，到底弄出这些阴差阳错来。前儿我已与老太太、太太说明，若要我舍妹妹而就别人，除非是死了，拿尸首去成婚；这回索性都闹的明白，看谁还敢来罗嗦妹妹。” 黛玉自听了贾母说将自己聘与北静王为妃的话，心里万念俱灰，已死了大半，只想着再见宝玉一面，其余更无所求。如今听宝玉说尚有转寰之机，遂重新唤起求生之意，心思清爽，便又想起一事，哭道：“你又何苦来说这些没意思的话？又替我打算什么？不如让我干干净净一口气上不来死了，好让你清清爽爽做成好姻缘去。”宝玉道：“你到今儿还不信我，还来怄我，除了妹妹，我又有什么好姻缘？”黛玉道：“娘娘已经赐婚，合府里都知道了，什么'金玉良姻，天作之合'，你还只瞒着我。” 宝玉这几日只为北静王求聘黛玉的事焦心，竟没想到自己身上，及听黛玉提醒，方想起还有这一宗公案，愣了半晌，方道：“我只不答应，难道他们牛不喝水强按头么？便是大姐姐也不能强人所难的。何况赐婚只是传闻，并未真的有旨意下来。老太太早许了我，等娘娘回京，亲自进宫去代你我求情。我连北静王府都闯了，还怕别的么？别说是大姐姐，就算皇上赐婚，我也敢闹上金銮殿去，看谁还挑着头儿混说什么金呀玉呀的不说了。”黛玉听了这话，反不好意思起来，啐道：“谁许你到处混说……”说到一半，却又咽住，满面胀红，喘成一气大嗽起来。宝玉情急，便欲上前搀扶，恰麝月、秋纹已收拾了衣裳来接他回房，宝玉虽不舍，然而见黛玉抖的风中桃花一般，却还勉力抬头望他，冲他摆手儿，那眼里的意思分明只要他去，生怕自己呆着不去更惹他着急，且紫鹃也在一旁劝道：“二爷的话，姑娘已尽明白了，如今且回房去歇着吧，来日方长呢。”只得去了。 这里黛玉思前想后，起初也信了宝玉的话，只道暂且无事，转念一想，那北静王何许人也，焉肯出尔反尔，如此轻易放弃？元妃赐婚更是势成定局，又岂是宝玉三言两语可以逆转的？想来二人竟是万无遂心如愿之理。又想宝玉为了自己的事闹上北静王府，何等大胆莽撞？倘若他为自己有个闪失，自己却又情何以堪？况且女孩儿家私情原是闺阁中万死不赦之过，自己虽与宝玉持之以礼，并无失检点处，然而这回宝玉为着自己如此妄为，想必闹得阖府皆知，更不知为将来埋下多少祸根后患，口舌是非。思来想去，没个了局，那眼泪只如断线珠子一般，成串滴落，不能休止。 话说这些事体，黛玉既能想到，贾母自然更加虑到了，明知北静王必定另有文章，只恨猜不透，欲找人商议，想着贾赦、邢夫人是事不干己不劳心的，贾政为人梗直不会转弯，王夫人又愚钝没主意，惟有贾琏、熙凤夫妻尚可议事，因此命鸳鸯请了他二人来，又想了想，到底不好瞒过王夫人，便命也一同请来，遂将自己一番担忧说了。凤姐先就回道：“老祖宗虑的极是。想那北静王爷为这事惦记了不止一二年，又叫少妃来亲自探看，又叫冯紫英打听出身来历，又跟咱们老爷几次递话儿，又打听了妹妹的生日送来厚礼，又特特的请了林妹妹的启蒙先生贾雨村说媒，就是寻常王府里结亲也不过如此，那里是王爷纳妃，直与皇上选娘娘差不多。若从前年北静太妃跟老祖宗商议纳妃的话头儿想起，这主意只怕早就拿定了，若不为守制，还等不到这时候儿。他既品度了这二三年，好容易等的孝满才提亲，分明一招出手，志在必得，焉肯为宝兄弟几句话就打了退堂鼓？不过是想留个好名声，不肯让人说他强娶豪夺，所以才说了那些冠冕堂皇的场面话儿先稳住咱们，回头必定还要想个什么法儿，逼的咱们府上主动去攀交，倒反赶着他去结亲。想来我们若不肯结这头亲，他保不定还有什么新招儿埋伏在后头。” 贾母叹道：“我何尝不是担忧这个？想来他借口讲谈学问练武艺把宝玉扣留在府上，还只是第一计，后头不定还有些什么千奇百怪的厉害法宝呢。这次宝玉安然无恙的回来了，不过是个提醒，敲锣听音儿，下次未必便能这么容易。” 贾琏见贾母既已明说了，便也禀道：“我听里头的公公说，皇上不在京的这段日子，四位王爷共同监国，凡有奏章，都是四位王爷合议，忠顺王与北静王多半政见不同，正是水火不两立；东平郡王和南安郡王又一味和稀泥，两头不肯得罪，所以许多大事都耽误下来，裁议不决。比如海疆之乱，北静王主战，忠顺王主和，一个说要发兵去打，直叫兵部拟定出征名单，凡是世袭武职的人家都要逢二抽一，充军作战；一个说该以和亲怀柔，前时叫各府里适龄女子都画像造册，便是为了备选。”贾母这些日子一直为了探春、惜春备选的事忧心，却并不知还有征丁一事，闻言不禁一愣，问道：“这样说来，不论主战主和，咱们竟都是跑不掉的？老爷不是说造册备选是为了联络那些海外王储么？怎么又变成议和了？” 贾琏叹道：“朝廷里的事，那里说的准呢。同海国联姻是北静王提的，为的是好教那些岛国帮咱们发兵；跟藩邦议和却是忠顺王提的，总之都拿着这些造册备选的女孩儿们做筏。孙子还听说，东平、南安两位郡王因年迈多病，如今都不大理事了，所以朝中大臣都推北静与忠顺两府马首是瞻，各立山头，斗的你死我活。想咱们府上向与忠顺府不大投契，再把北静王得罪了，将来若有一时急难欲投倚处，东、南两位王爷未必得力。何况不论征丁出战还是郡主和藩，咱们两府里可都在册，说不定抽着什么签，要生要死，都攥在两位王爷的手心儿里呢。因此以孙子浅见，北静府万万不可得罪。”王夫人也道：“便是没有北静王爷提亲这件事，娘娘也是有意要赐婚的，那里由的宝玉呢？倘若北静王做主把宝玉充军打仗，他那里吃的了那种苦？并不是我不疼爱外甥女儿，逼他嫁人，奈何世上并没有顺心如意两全其美的事，说不的，也只有舍卒保车了。”贾母自然知道王夫人话中所指那个是卒，那个是车，并不入耳，只得道：“娘娘的旨还没下呢，那里就说到后边的事了。早知这样，当年我就该早有个准主意——如今也说不的这些，只是北静王爷既然已经说了不议亲，一两日间总不好意思又来为难的吧？” 凤姐见贾母话里有话，知道不乐意，忙道：“正是呢。上吊还要喘口气，不信他一个王爷，说出来的话竟好意思收回去，总得做两天表面文章，假装宽慈。就有什么招数，也会等些日子再施展。咱们如今不如就来个将计就计，骑驴看唱本儿——走着瞧。横竖拖几日等娘娘回来，还有的商议。”贾母这方点头，说道：“也只得这样。” 一时从贾母处出来，王夫人便埋怨凤姐：“好容易已经说的老太太心动，答应把你林妹妹许给北府了，你女婿也说了一大篇话，劝老太太结这门亲，偏你又来提什么将计就计的话，只顾哄老太太高兴，就不想想，那北静王府是何等威势，难道是我们这种人家可以得罪的？” 凤姐辩道：“我何尝不是和太太一样的心思？只是老太太心里不愿意，与其一味逆着说，惹的老太太不高兴，倒不如暂且将些宽心话儿稳住，一切只等娘娘回来再拿主意。反正北府里三五天内总不会再有动静，咱们乐的消停几日不好？”王夫人无话可说，又随便问了几句家事，便打发他去了。 谁知赵姨娘早在隔壁听见，情知王夫人不满意凤姐，便要趁机煽风点火，遂掀帘子凑近来说：“太太当真不能由着二奶奶的话。宝玉的婚事，可得着紧上心，越早定下来越好，我前儿听说……”说着，故意左右看。彩云知机，故意道：“今天是太太吃斋的日子，我去厨房看看，备了素菜没有。”说着去了。余人见彩云如此，便也不等王夫人说话，都借故避了出去。王夫人见那赵姨娘蝎蝎螫螫的，本不待听他弄舌，然而正所谓关心则乱，身不由己的问道：“有什么话，只管说吧。”赵姨娘便压低了声音做张做势的道：“我前日去林姑娘处瞧他病，正听见他与丫头长一句短一句，计议着要同宝玉两个私奔呢。”王夫人唬了一跳，忙问：“你听的可真？” 赵姨娘赌咒发誓的道：“决不敢欺瞒太太。难道我不知道这是要命的大事？所以一直压在心里不敢说。为是宝玉的事，才不敢隐瞒，我想太太就这一根独苗儿，平日里看的心肝上的尖儿一般，老太太又着实疼爱，若有个闪失，那还了的。想了几日，还是要冒死禀告太太，好有个防备。他们果真连法子都想在了那里，说是林姑娘捡个日子跟老太太说要回南边老家去祭父母，叫宝玉陪着，两个人卷了细软搭船走，人不知鬼不觉，把阖府蒙在鼓里，连日子都定了呢，可惜我一惊，就没记的清楚。” 王夫人听了，虽不肯信，然想起宝玉前日在老太太跟前说的那些大胆狂言，口口声声只要死要活，竟似有殉情之意，不由心惊意动，便有几分动摇，口里且只道：“林姑娘是名门千金，怎么会连廉耻礼义也不顾？必是你听错了。快别混说。” 一时饭至，王夫人便留赵姨娘同吃，赵姨娘原先听他今日吃斋，便无肠胃，正想指个谎儿自去讨些荤菜来吃，及见彩云已经摆下桌子，玉钏、绣凤等依次端上菜来，什么虾油豆腐、珍珠菜、素烧鹅、松菌、面筋、鸡腿蘑，主食是一盘子十色素菜细馅夹儿，荠菜馅千层儿炊饼，并一大碗三鲜笋丝面汤，香喷喷清亮亮，都是素日未吃过的，不由食指大动，便站住了，笑道：“既如此，我也讨一讨太太的福荫。”便每样挟了几筷到碗中，细细嚼了，又道：“都说水月庵的素斋做的好，连宁府里珍大爷也称赞的，倒不知比这个怎样。” 王夫人因心里有事，便没听出破绽，一时吃毕，打发赵姨娘去了。自己思前想后，半信半疑，以为总是有几分影儿，赵姨娘才会说出那些话来，倘若宝黛两个果真存了这个心，可不害苦我也？因此更厌黛玉，且暗暗布置耳目，提防宝玉有所异动，一心只等元妃回京，好早早请准懿旨，了却这番心头大事。暂且不提。 只说是夜三更，王夫人辗转反侧，难以成眠，忽听一阵风掀的门帘儿响，便闻的一股血腥之气扑面袭来，王夫人欲起身时，却见那贾元春竟做从前在家时打扮，怀里抱着个孩儿，摇摇摆摆的走了进来，便在床前跪下，意欲磕头。王夫人吃了一惊，忙拦道：“我的儿，你如今贵为娘娘，君臣有别，怎么反倒给我磕起头来？” 那元春眼中含泪，口内作悲道：“娘啊，你只知孩儿一朝选在君王侧，乃是尊贵光荣之事，岂知宫闱之内，风起云涌，纵然百般小心，终究暗箭难防。女儿为了保住这贤德妃的封号，含辛忍辱，耽精竭虑，这许多年里，何曾安稳度过一天半日？却还是弄巧成拙，求全反毁，如今一死万事休，纵然醒悟，也是迟了。只为悬心爹娘不下，才不顾这山长路远，一夜万里，赶来见爹娘最后一面，还有一句话要提醒爹娘。” 王夫人听了不懂，只恍恍惚惚的道：“是什么话？”又问，“你这抱的是谁家的孩儿？”元春道：“女儿离京前已经身怀有孕，自以为眼前就要有大富贵，大荣华，一心要好，百般防范，瞒住消息跟随皇上出京。不料心强命不强，如今反累了这个孩儿，可怜他没见天日就要随女儿命入黄泉了。女儿死的委实冤枉，个中因由，便说给爹娘知道也是有害无益，如今倒也不必再提。只望爹娘以女儿为诫，休再一味攀高求全，从此倒要退步抽身，看开一些，还可保的数年安居。若不然，眼前就要大祸临头了。倘若儿身还在时，还可设法为爹娘筹措转寰，趋吉避凶，如今天伦永隔，幽冥异路，再不能略尽孝心了，爹娘自己保重吧。” 王夫人更加不懂，却忽听的贾政的声音道：“娘娘垂训的是。”清清楚楚，响在耳边，不由一惊醒了，才知是梦，身上冷汗涔涔而下。一旁贾政犹自呓语道：“娘娘且慢。”说罢，却也醒了，怔怔的瞅着王夫人发愣。王夫人心下惊动，问道：“你做了什么梦？只是说梦话。”贾政叹道：“我刚才看见咱们大姑娘来了，怀里抱着个襁褓孩儿，一进门就给我跪着磕头，又说了许多话，什么'伴君如伴虎'，什么'提防暗算'，'求全反毁'，又是什么'退步抽身'，我正想问清楚，他便走了，苦留不住。”王夫人更加惊骇道：“我刚刚也做了一梦，却和你说的一模一样。莫不是娘娘有什么事？”贾政心下栗栗，却不肯相信，只劝道：“这都是你我思念女儿太甚所致。娘娘如今与皇上在潢海围猎，会有什么不妥？即便是着了风寒，又或是遇些阻碍，随行自有太医、护卫，又何劳你我操心？” 王夫人却只是挂怀不下，这一夜翻来覆去，何曾安睡片刻。次日一早，便又叫了贾琏来，让去宫里打听消息。一时贾琏回来说，诸王为着海疆战事不稳，宇内又有乱党起事，已经加派官兵前往铁网山护驾，想来皇上不日便要回京的。王夫人听了，这才略略宽心。exactly:
