第百十六回　得通靈幻境悟仙緣　送慈柩故鄉全孝道 Regaining the Jade, Baoyu Grasps His Immortal Destiny; Escorting the Coffin Home, He Fulfills Filial Duty

，，，。The story goes that as soon as Baoyu heard Sheyue's words, he fell back and died again, throwing Lady Wang and the others into such distress that they wept and cried out without pause.，。Sheyue knew herself that her careless words had brought on this disaster, but Lady Wang and the others had no time now to reproach her.，，：“，！”。Sheyue, weeping all the while, made up her mind, thinking: "If Baoyu should die, I will kill myself and follow him!" But we shall say no more of what was in Sheyue's heart.，。Now to speak of Lady Wang and the others: seeing that their calls could not bring him back, they hurriedly sent someone out to find the monk to save him.，。Who could have known that by the time Jia Zheng went out again, the monk had already vanished.，，。Jia Zheng was still marveling at this when he heard another commotion within, and hurried back inside.，，。He saw that Baoyu was in the same state as before, his mouth clamped shut, without a trace of pulse.，。Feeling with his hand at the pit of his chest, he found it was still warm.。Jia Zheng had no choice but to hurriedly send for a doctor to administer medicine and try to save him.

。Little did they know that Baoyu's soul had already left his body.？Was he then truly dead, you ask?，，。It happened that in a dazed and dreamlike state he had hurried to the front hall, where he saw the monk who had brought back the jade sitting there, and made a bow of greeting.，。Who would have thought that the monk rose to his feet, took hold of Baoyu, and set off walking.，，，，。Baoyu followed the monk, feeling as light as a leaf, drifting and swaying, and without passing through the main gate, found himself outside without knowing how he had got there.，，，。After walking some distance, they came to a wild, deserted place, and in the far distance he saw a memorial archway, which seemed as if he had been there before.，。Just as he was about to ask the monk about it, he saw, dim and indistinct, a woman coming toward them.：“，，。”，，，。Baoyu thought to himself: "In such a wild and empty place, how could there be so beautiful a woman? She must be an immortal come down to earth." So thinking, he drew nearer and looked closely, and found her somehow familiar, though for the moment he could not recall who she was.。He saw the woman exchange a glance with the monk, and then she vanished.，，：“？”，，“”，，：On reflection, Baoyu realized she had looked exactly like You Sanjie, and grew all the more puzzled: "How can she be here too?" Just as he was about to ask again, the monk pulled Baoyu past the archway, on which were written four large characters, "The Blessed Land of Truth," with a couplet on either side, reading:

：“。Baoyu suddenly remembered: "When I was young I once came to this very place in a dream.，。”，。"Now that I am able to come here in person, it is truly a stroke of great fortune." In his dazed state he forgot all about looking for Yuanyang.，，，：“，，。Summoning his courage, he opened the door of the large cabinet at the head of the row and looked in, finding several albums inside, which delighted him all the more. He thought: "People generally say dreams are false, but who would have known that where there is such a dream, there is also such a reality.，。"I have often said I wished to have this dream again but never could — yet who would have thought that today I should find it here.？”，“”。"But I wonder whether these are the very albums I once saw?" He reached up and took one down; on its cover was written "The Principal Register of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling."：“，。”，，，。Holding it, Baoyu thought: "I have some hazy memory of this very thing, only I am vexed that I cannot recall it clearly." He opened it to the first page and looked; there was a painting on it, but the lines were so blurred that he could make nothing out.，，，“”，“”，：“？”，“”，”。”：“，，。Below it a few lines of writing were likewise unclear, though he could still make them out roughly, and looking carefully he saw something like "jade belt," above which was a character that looked like "Lin." He thought to himself: "Could this not be about Cousin Lin?" Looking still more closely, below that were the four characters "gold hairpin in the snow," and he exclaimed in surprise, "How does this too resemble her name?" He then read the four lines together from beginning to end and thought: "There is no real sense to be made of it — it is simply that her two names are hidden within it, which is nothing so strange.‘’‘’。"Only those words 'pity' and 'lament' bode ill.？”，：“，，，。”，，。"How is this to be explained?" But even as he thought this, he spat at himself in reproach: "I am looking at this in secret — if I keep standing here lost in thought, and someone should come, I shall not get to see any more of it." So he went on turning the pages, with no time to study the pictures closely, and simply read on from the beginning.，“”，：“，，。Reaching the end he found a few lines of verse, among them the line "They meet again when the great dream returns," and suddenly he understood: "So that is it — the workings of fate indeed never miss their mark. This must be Cousin Yuanchun.，，。"If they are all as clear as this, I should copy them down and study them carefully — then there would be nothing left unknown to me of my cousins' fates, whether long life or short, poverty or fortune.，，。”，，，。"When I go back I shall certainly not reveal it to anyone, but simply become a man who knows the future without divining it — that would save so much idle worry." He glanced about on every side, but there was no brush or inkstone to be found, and fearing someone might come, he could only hurry on with his reading.，。He saw dimly in a picture the figure of someone flying a kite, but had no heart to look at it closely.。In great haste he read through all twelve poems.，，，。Some he understood at a glance, some he grasped after a moment's thought, and some he could not make out clearly at all — but he fixed them firmly in his memory.，《》，“，”，，。Sighing as he went, he took up the "Supplementary Register of Jinling" to look at it as well, and came upon the lines "How enviable, the actress blessed with fortune; who would have known the young master had no such fate" — which he had not understood before. Seeing above it what looked like the shadow of a flower-strewn mat, he was struck with great alarm and burst into anguished weeping.

，：“！He was about to read further when he heard someone say: "There you go, lost in a daze again!。”，。"Cousin Lin is asking for you." The voice sounded just like Yuanyang's, but when he turned around there was no one to be seen.，。Just as his heart was filled with alarm and doubt, Yuanyang suddenly appeared beckoning outside the door.，。The moment Baoyu saw her, he hurried out, overjoyed.，。He saw Yuanyang walking ahead of him, faint and indistinct, but try as he might he could not catch up with her.：“，。”，。Baoyu called out: "Dear sister, wait for me!" But Yuanyang paid him no heed at all, and simply kept walking on ahead.，，，，，。Having no choice, Baoyu did his utmost to catch up, when suddenly he came upon another world entirely — towers and pavilions rose high, the corners of the halls were exquisitely wrought, and a number of palace maids could be glimpsed moving faintly among them.，。So absorbed was Baoyu in gazing at the scenery that he quite forgot about Yuanyang.，，。Following his steps, Baoyu walked into a palace gate, within which were strange and wondrous flowers and plants, none of which he could clearly recognize.，，，。There was only, within a balustrade of white stone, a single green plant, its leaf tips faintly tinged with red — he did not know what plant it might be, that it should be held in such honor.，，，，，，。He saw that wherever the light breeze stirred, the green plant swayed without ceasing; though it was but a small blade of grass and bore no flowers, there was such charm in its swaying form that he could not help but feel his heart stir, his spirit delight, and his very soul melt away.，：“，！”，，，，：“，，。Baoyu simply stood there gazing at it in a daze, when he heard someone beside him say: "Where do you come from, foolish creature, that you dare spy upon this immortal herb!" Startled at these words, Baoyu turned to look, and found it was a fairy maiden. He bowed at once and said: "I was looking for my sister Yuanyang and wandered by mistake into this immortal realm — forgive me the offense of my intrusion.，？"May I ask, immortal sister, what place this is?？"And how is it that when my sister Yuanyang led me here, she still said Cousin Lin was calling for me?。”：“，，。”，，：“，。"I beg you to enlighten me." The maiden said: "How should I know anything of your sisters and cousins? I am the keeper of this immortal herb, and mortals are not permitted to linger here." Baoyu wished to withdraw, yet could not bear to, and so he pleaded: "Since you, immortal sister, are the one who tends this immortal herb, you must surely be the Flower Goddess.？”：“，。"But I wonder, what virtue does this herb possess?" The fairy maiden said: "If you wish to know about this herb, it is a long story indeed.，。"This herb originally grew on the bank of the River of Souls, and was called the Crimson Pearl Herb.，，。"Because it was then withering away, it was fortunate enough to have an Attendant Shenying water it daily with sweet dew, and so it was able to live on.，，。"Later it descended into the mortal world to live through its karmic trials, repaid the debt of that watering, and has now returned to the realm of truth.，。”，，，：“。"That is why the Fairy Disenchantment ordered me to guard it, and not allow bees and butterflies to linger about it in longing." Baoyu, hearing this, did not understand it, but felt certain in his heart that he must have met the Flower Goddess, and thought he must by no means let this chance slip by unused. So he asked: "You, immortal sister, are the one who tends this herb.，，？”：“，。”：“？”：“。”：“，。”：“。"There must be countless famous flowers each with their own keeper, and I dare not trouble you about all of them — but who is the immortal who tends the hibiscus?" The fairy maiden said: "That I do not know; only my mistress would know." Baoyu then asked: "Who is your mistress, sister?" The fairy maiden said: "My mistress is the Concubine Xiaoxiang." Baoyu, hearing this, said: "Ah, so it is — you do not know that this concubine is none other than my cousin Lin Daiyu." The fairy maiden said: "Nonsense.，，，。"This place is the abode of a goddess of the upper realm. Though she is styled the Concubine Xiaoxiang, she is not of the company of E Huang and Nü Ying — how could she possibly have kinship with a mortal?，。”"Do not come here talking such nonsense, or I shall have the warrior spirits drive you out."

，，，：“。”：“，，。”：“？”：“。”，，。At these words Baoyu stood dumbstruck, feeling himself base and unclean, and was just about to withdraw when he heard someone hurry up saying: "Within, they are calling for the Attendant Shenying." The other replied: "I have been waiting a long while on my orders, but have seen no Attendant Shenying come by at all — where am I to go and summon him?" The first one laughed and said: "Was that not him, just now, going away?" The maid hurried out at once, calling: "Attendant Shenying, please come back!" Baoyu supposed this must be meant for someone else, and fearing to be pursued, could only flee in stumbling haste.，：“！”，，。Just as he was running, he saw someone bearing a precious sword bar his way, saying: "Where do you think you're going!" Baoyu was so terrified he did not know what to do, but summoning his courage he looked up, and found it was none other than You Sanjie.，，：“。”：“，，。Seeing her, Baoyu steadied himself a little and pleaded: "Sister, how is it that you too come to press me so?" She replied: "Not one of you men is any good — you destroy people's good names and ruin their marriages.，！”，，：“，。”：“，，。”，，。"Now that you have come here today, I shall not let you off!" Baoyu, hearing this ominous turn, was growing more and more alarmed, when he heard someone behind him call out: "Sister, quickly, block his way — do not let him get away!" You Sanjie said: "I have waited long on the concubine's orders, and now that I have found you, I must with one stroke of this sword sever your bond with the mortal world." Hearing this, Baoyu grew ever more frantic, and understanding none of what these words truly meant, could only turn and try to run.，。Who would have thought that the one who had spoken behind him was none other than Qingwen.，，：“，，，。At the sight of her, Baoyu's grief and joy mingled together, and he said: "I lost my way all alone and met with an enemy — I wanted to run back, but not one of you was there following me.，，。”：“，，，。”，：“，？”：“，。”，。"Now it's all right — Sister Qingwen, quickly take me home." Qingwen said: "Attendant, you need not doubt so much. I am not Qingwen; I have come specially on the concubine's orders to fetch you to an audience, and mean you no harm at all." Baoyu, filled with misgivings, could only ask: "Sister, you say the concubine has summoned me — but who, in the end, is this concubine?" Qingwen said: "There is no need to ask now; once you arrive there, you will know of yourself." Baoyu, having no choice, could only follow along.，，”？Looking closely at the woman's bearing from behind, it was exactly like Qingwen; her face and voice too were unmistakable — "then how can she say she is not?。"My mind is all confusion just now.，，，，，。”，。"Well, never mind it for now — once I get there and see the concubine, if there is any fault, I can plead with her then; a woman's heart is compassionate after all, and she is sure to forgive my rashness." Even as he was thinking this, before long they arrived at a certain place.，，，。He saw halls of exquisite craftsmanship, brilliant in color; in the courtyard a clump of kingfisher-green bamboo, and outside the doors several ancient pines.，，，：“？”：“。Under the eaves of the veranda stood several maidservants, all dressed in palace attire, who upon seeing Baoyu enter, whispered quietly to one another: "Is this the Attendant Shenying?" The one leading Baoyu said: "It is he.。”，。"Go in quickly and announce him." One maidservant beckoned with a smile, and Baoyu followed her in.，，。Passing through several courtyards of buildings, he came to a main hall, its pearl curtain hung high.：“。”，，。The maidservant said: "Stand here and await her command." Hearing this, Baoyu did not dare make a sound, and could only wait outside.，：“。”。Before long the maidservant went in, then came out and said: "The Attendant is asked to come in for an audience." Another maid rolled up the pearl curtain.，，，。He saw a woman, a flower crown upon her head and an embroidered robe upon her body, sitting composed within.，，：“！Baoyu raised his head slightly, and seeing that her features were those of Daiyu, could not help exclaiming: "Cousin, you are here!。”：“，。”，。"How I have longed for you." The maidservant outside the curtain hissed under her breath: "This attendant is impertinent — out with him at once!" Before she had even finished speaking, another maid let the pearl curtain fall.，，，，，。At this moment Baoyu wished to go in but dared not, wished to leave but could not bear to; he wanted to ask for a clear explanation, but seeing that none of the maidservants were known to him, and being driven away besides, he had no choice but to come out.，，。He thought to ask Qingwen, but turning to look about on every side, there was no sign of Qingwen at all.，，，，。His heart full of doubt, he could only come away in sullen discontent, and with no one now to guide him, just as he wished to find his way back by the road he had come, he found he could no longer make out the old path.，。Just as he was at a loss, he saw Xifeng standing under the eaves of a house, beckoning to him.：“，。Seeing her, Baoyu was delighted and said: "Good, at last — so I have come back to my own home after all.。”：“，。"How could I have been so confused and bewildered for a time?" He ran up quickly and said: "Are you here, sister? I have been made such a fool of by these people.，。”，，，。"And Cousin Lin, too, will not see me — I do not know the reason why." As he spoke, he came to the spot where Xifeng had been standing, but looking closely, it was not Xifeng at all — it turned out to be Qin-shi, the late wife of Jia Rong.“”，，。Baoyu could only stop in his tracks and ask, "Where is Sister Xifeng?" But Qin-shi made no reply at all, and simply went into the house by herself.，，：“，。”。Baoyu, still in his daze, did not dare follow her in, and could only stand there blankly, sighing: "What wrong have I done today, that everyone should refuse to acknowledge me?" And he burst into bitter weeping.，”，！”，。He saw several warriors in yellow turbans come running up with whips, saying: "What man is this who dares to trespass into our blessed land of the immortals? Out with him at once!" Hearing this, Baoyu dared not utter a word.，。Just as he was searching for a way out, he saw far in the distance a group of women approaching, talking and laughing.，，，：“，！”，。Looking at them, Baoyu saw that they seemed to be Yingchun and the rest of that company, and his heart filled with joy. He called out: "I am lost and trapped here — come quickly and save me!" Even as he was shouting, the warriors came rushing up behind him.，，。In his panic Baoyu ran wildly forward, when suddenly he saw that whole group of women turn into the forms of ghosts and demons, and they too came rushing to seize him.

宝玉听了发怔，只觉自形秽浊，正要退出，又听见有人赶来说道：“里面叫请神瑛侍者。”那人道：“我奉命等了好些时，总不见有神瑛侍者过来，你叫我那里请去。”那一个笑道：“才退去的不是么？”那侍女慌忙赶出来说：“请神瑛侍者回来。”宝玉只道是问别人，又怕被人追赶，只得踉跄而逃。正走时，只见一人手提宝剑迎面拦住说：“那里走！”唬得宝玉惊慌无措，仗著胆抬头一看却不是别人，就是尤三姐。宝玉见了，略定些神，央告道：“姐姐怎么你也来逼起我来了。”那人道：“你们兄弟没有一个好人，败人名节，破人婚姻。今儿你到这里，是不饶你的了！”宝玉听去话头不好，正自著急，只听后面有人叫道：“姐姐快快拦住，不要放他走了。”尤三姐道：“我奉妃子之命等侯已久，今儿见了，必定要一剑斩断你的尘缘。”宝玉听了益发著忙，又不懂这些话到底是什么意思，只得回头要跑。岂知身后说话的并非别人，却是晴雯。宝玉一见，悲喜交集，便说：“我一个人走迷了道儿，遇见仇人，我要逃回，却不见你们一人跟著我。如今好了，晴雯姐姐，快快的带我回家去罢。”晴雯道：“侍者不必多疑，我非晴雯，我是奉妃子之命特来请你一会，并不难为你。”宝玉满腹狐疑，只得问道：“姐姐说是妃子叫我，那妃子究是何人？”晴雯道：“此时不必问，到了那里自然知道。”宝玉没法，只得跟著走。细看那人背后举动恰是晴雯，那面目声音是不错的了，”怎么他说不是？我此时心里模糊。且别管他，到了那边见了妃子，就有不是，那时再求他，到底女人的心肠是慈悲的，必是恕我冒失。”正想著，不多时到了一个所在。只见殿宇精致，色彩辉煌，庭中一丛翠竹，户外数本苍松。廊檐下立著几个侍女，都是宫妆打扮，见了宝玉进来，便悄悄的说道：“这就是神瑛侍者么？”引著宝玉的说道：“就是。你快进去通报罢。”有一侍女笑著招手，宝玉便跟著进去。过了几层房舍，见一正房，珠帘高挂。那侍女说：“站著候旨。”宝玉听了，也不敢则声，只得在外等著。那侍女进去不多时，出来说：“请侍者参见。”又有一人卷起珠帘。只见一女子，头戴花冠，身穿绣服，端坐在内。宝玉略一抬头，见是黛玉的形容，便不禁的说道：“妹妹在这里！叫我好想。”那帘外的侍女悄咤道：“这侍者无礼，快快出去。”说犹未了，又见一个侍儿将珠帘放下。宝玉此时欲待进去又不敢，要走又不舍，待要问明，见那些侍女并不认得，又被驱逐，无奈出来。心想要问晴雯，回头四顾，并不见有晴雯。心下狐疑，只得怏怏出来，又无人引著，正欲找原路而去，却又找不出旧路了。正在为难，见凤姐站在一所房檐下招手。宝玉看见喜欢道：“可好了，原来回到自己家里了。我怎么一时迷乱如此。”急奔前来说：“姐姐在这里么，我被这些人捉弄到这个分儿。林妹妹又不肯见我，不知何原故。”说著，走到凤姐站的地方，细看起来并不是凤姐，原来却是贾蓉的前妻秦氏。宝玉只得立住脚要问“凤姐姐在那里”，那秦氏也不答言，竟自往屋里去了。宝玉恍恍惚惚的又不敢跟进去，只得呆呆的站著，叹道：“我今儿得了什么不是，众人都不理我。”便痛哭起来。见有几个黄巾力士执鞭赶来，说是”何处男人敢闯入我们这天仙福地来，快走出去！”宝玉听得，不敢言语。正要寻路出来，远远望见一群女子说笑前来。宝玉看时，又象有迎春等一干人走来，心里喜欢，叫道：“我迷住在这里，你们快来救我！”正嚷著，后面力士赶来。宝玉急得往前乱跑，忽见那一群女子都变作鬼怪形像，也来追扑。

，，：“，。”。Just as Baoyu was in the direst straits, he saw the monk who had brought back the jade holding a mirror, and as he shone it, said: "I have come specially, by order of Her Highness the Imperial Consort Yuan, to save you." At once all the ghosts and demons vanished, and there was once more only a stretch of wild countryside.：“，。Baoyu clutched at the monk and said: "I remember it was you who led me here, and then in an instant you vanished.，，，，。”：“？”：“，，。"I saw so many of my kin, only none of them would acknowledge me, and then suddenly they turned into ghosts and demons — is this in the end a dream or is it real? I beg you, Master, to enlighten me clearly." The monk said: "While you were here, did you secretly look at anything?" Baoyu thought to himself: "Since he was able to bring me to this blessed land of the immortals, he must surely be an immortal himself — how could I hide anything from him?。”：“。”：“，！"Besides, I was just wanting to ask him to make things clear." So he said: "Why, I did see a good many albums there." The monk said: "There you go again — you saw the albums and still do not understand?。"All the bonds of love and passion in this world are nothing but demonic delusions.，。”，，：“！”，，：“！”"Only remember carefully everything you have lived through, and in time I will explain it all to you." So saying, he gave Baoyu a violent shove, saying: "Go back now!" Baoyu could not keep his footing, and fell sprawling with a cry of "Ai-yo!"

，，。Lady Wang and the others were still weeping when they heard Baoyu revive, and hastened to call out to him.，，。When Baoyu opened his eyes to look, he found himself still lying on the kang, and saw that Lady Wang, Baochai, and the others had wept until their eyelids were swollen red.，：“，。”，，：“，。”，，，”，，，。”，，，：“！”，。Steadying his mind and thinking it over, he said to himself: "So it is — I have died and come back to life." He then pondered carefully, lost in thought, over everything his soul had experienced, and to his great relief found that he still remembered most of it, so that he laughed aloud, saying: "That's it, that's it." Lady Wang supposed only that his old illness had recurred, and thinking it well to send for a doctor and have him treated, at once bade the maids and matrons hurry to tell Jia Zheng that "Baoyu has come back to himself; before, it was only that his mind was clouded, and now that he can speak, there is no need to prepare for the funeral." Hearing this, Jia Zheng hurried in at once to see for himself, and finding indeed that Baoyu had revived, said: "You luckless, foolish child, whom are you trying to frighten to death!" And as he spoke, the tears fell from his eyes before he even knew it.，。He sighed several times more, and then went out again to have someone summon a doctor to take the pulse and prescribe medicine.，，。Here, Sheyue had been thinking of ending her own life, but when she saw Baoyu come to, her mind was set at ease.，。Just then Lady Wang had someone bring longan soup and had him drink a few mouthfuls, and gradually he grew calmer.，，，”，，。Lady Wang and the others, relieved, said nothing to reproach Sheyue, and simply had someone give the jade back to Baochai to put on him again: "Thinking of that monk, it's strange too — no one knows where he found this jade.，？”：“，。How is it that one moment he wanted silver and the next moment he vanished — could he actually be an immortal?" Baochai said, "Speaking of that monk's coming and going without a trace, the jade was not really something he found.，。”：“？”：“，。”：“，，，，‘’。When it was lost before, it must have been that monk who took it." Lady Wang said, "How could the jade be taken away while it was here at home?" Baochai said, "If it could be delivered here, it could just as well be taken away." Xiren and Sheyue said, "The year the jade was lost, Master Lin did a character divination, and later, after the Second Mistress had married in, I even told her that the character divined was the character 'shang' (賞, 'reward').？”：“。Does the Second Mistress still remember?" Baochai thought to herself, "That's it.，，‘’，。”：“。You all said the divination pointed to searching in a pawnshop, but only now do I understand — it was actually the character 'monk' (尚) sitting on top of it, so wasn't it the monk who took it after all?" Lady Wang said, "That monk was strange from the very start.，，。That year when Baoyu was ill, that monk came and said our family possessed a treasure that could cure him — he meant this very piece of jade.，。Since he knew of it, this jade must surely have some origin behind it.。Besides, your husband was born with it already in his mouth.，。From ancient times to now, have you ever heard of a second such thing?，。It's just that we don't know what will become of this jade in the end — we don't even know what will become of this one of ours.，，——”，。His illness was because of this jade, his recovery was because of this jade, his very birth was because of this jade——" Having said this she suddenly stopped, and could not help shedding tears again.，，，，。Hearing this, Baoyu understood in his heart, and thought all the more that his having died and come back to life must have some deeper cause behind it; he said nothing, but carefully turned it over in his mind.：“，，‘’，‘’，‘’。At that time Xichun said, "The year the jade was lost, we even had Miaoyu invoke a spirit through the planchette, and it said 'Beneath Green Ridge Peak, leaning against an old pine,' and also something like 'Come through my gate and we shall meet with a smile' — thinking about it now, those three words 'enter my gate' hold great meaning.，。”，。The gate of the Buddhist teaching is the greatest of all — I'm afraid Second Brother may not be able to enter it." Hearing this, Baoyu gave a few cold laughs.，。Hearing this, Baochai unconsciously knit her brows tightly and fell into a daze.：“。Mrs. You said, "Of all things, once you start talking, it's the Buddhist gate again.？”：“，。”：“，，。”，。Haven't you given up that idea of leaving home to become a nun yet?" Xichun said with a smile, "To be honest with you, sister-in-law, I gave up eating meat long ago." Lady Wang said, "Good child, Amitabha, that is a thought you must not entertain." Hearing this, Xichun said nothing more.“”，。Baoyu thought of the line of verse "before the green lamp and the ancient Buddha," and could not help sighing several times in a row.，，。Then he suddenly recalled the verse about "one mat, one spray of flowers," and turned his eyes to look at Xiren, and without realizing it shed tears again.，，。Everyone saw him now laughing, now sorrowful, and could not fathom what he meant, taking it merely for his old illness.，，，。Little did they know that Baoyu's thoughts were now stirred by whatever he touched upon, and he had in fact managed to remember firmly every verse he had once secretly glimpsed in the register; he simply did not speak of it, for a fixed understanding had already settled in his heart.。For now, let this matter rest and be spoken of no further.

王夫人等正在哭泣，听见宝玉苏来，连忙叫唤。宝玉睁眼看时，仍躺在炕上，见王夫人宝钗等哭的眼泡红肿。定神一想，心里说道：“是了，我是死去过来的。”遂把神魂所历的事呆呆的细想，幸喜多还记得，便哈哈的笑道：“是了，是了。”王夫人只道旧病复发，便好延医调治，即命丫头婆子快去告诉贾政，说是”宝玉回过来了，头里原是心迷住了，如今说出话来，不用备办后事了。”贾政听了，即忙进来看视，果见宝玉苏来，便道：“没福的痴儿你要唬死谁么！”说著，眼泪也不知不觉流下来了。又叹了几口气，仍出去叫人请医生诊脉服药。这里麝月正思自尽，见宝玉一过来，也放了心。只见王夫人叫人端了桂圆汤叫他喝了几口，渐渐的定了神。王夫人等放心，也没有说麝月，只叫人仍把那玉交给宝钗给他带上，”想起那和尚来，这玉不知那里找来的，也是古怪。怎么一时要银一时又不见了，莫非是神仙不成？”宝钗道：“说起那和尚来的踪迹去的影响，那玉并不是找来的。头里丢的时候，必是那和尚取去的。”王夫人道：“玉在家里怎么能取的了去？”宝钗道：“既可送来，就可取去。”袭人麝月道：“那年丢了玉，林大爷测了个字，后来二奶奶过了门，我还告诉过二奶奶，说测的那字是什么‘赏’字。二奶奶还记得么？”宝钗想道：“是了。你们说测的是当铺里找去，如今才明白了，竟是个和尚的‘尚’字在上头，可不是和尚取了去的么。”王夫人道：“那和尚本来古怪。那年宝玉病的时候，那和尚来说是我们家有宝贝可解，说的就是这块玉了。他既知道，自然这块玉到底有些来历。况且你女婿养下来就嘴里含著的。古往今来，你们听见过这么第二个么。只是不知终久这块玉到底是怎么著，就连咱们这一个也还不知是怎么著。病也是这块玉，好也是这块玉，生也是这块玉——”说到这里忽然住了，不免又流下泪来。宝玉听了，心里却也明白，更想死去的事愈加有因，只不言语，心里细细的记忆。那时惜春便说道：“那年失玉，还请妙玉请过仙，说是‘青埂峰下倚古松’，还有什么‘入我门来一笑逢’的话，想起来‘入我门’三字大有讲究。佛教的法门最大，只怕二哥不能入得去。”宝玉听了，又冷笑几声。宝钗听了，不觉的把眉头儿肐揪著发起怔来。尤氏道：“偏你一说又是佛门了。你出家的念头还没有歇么？”惜春笑道：“不瞒嫂子说，我早已断了荤了。”王夫人道：“好孩子，阿弥陀佛，这个念头是起不得的。”惜春听了，也不言语。宝玉想“青灯古佛前”的诗句，不禁连叹几声。忽又想起一床席一枝花的诗句来，拿眼睛看著袭人，不觉又流下泪来。众人都见他忽笑忽悲，也不解是何意，只道是他的旧病。岂知宝玉触处机来，竟能把偷看册上诗句俱牢牢记住了，只是不说出来，心中早有一个成见在那里了。暂且不题。

，，，，。Now to tell of how everyone, seeing that Baoyu had died and come back to life, found his spirit clear and refreshed, and with days of medicine besides, he grew better day by day, gradually recovering.，，，，，，。As for Jia Zheng, seeing that Baoyu had recovered, and being now on mourning leave with nothing pressing to attend to, he thought of how it was uncertain when Jia She would be pardoned, and that the Old Ancestress's coffin had long stood at the temple, which he could never set his mind at ease about; wishing to escort the coffin south for burial, he summoned Jia Lian to discuss it.：“，。Jia Lian said, "Your reasoning is entirely correct, sir. It would be all the better to accomplish this great matter now while you are on mourning leave.，。Once you resume your post in the future, sir, I fear you may no longer be able to have your way in this.，。But my father is not at home, and I, your nephew, dare not overstep my place.，。Your plan is excellent, sir, only this matter will require several thousand taels of silver.。”：“，，。As for the yamen recovering the stolen goods, that is something that will never be recovered." Jia Zheng said, "My mind is made up. It is only because your father is not at home that I called you here to discuss how it might best be managed.。You yourself cannot leave the house.，，，。There is no one else here at present; since there are several coffins that must all be brought back together, I wondered how proper care could be arranged for them all — it occurred to me to take Rong-ge along.。Besides, his wife's coffin is among them too.，。And there is also your cousin Lin's, which, by the Old Ancestress's last wishes, was to travel back together with the Old Ancestress's own coffin.，。”：“。I think for this sum we shall simply have to borrow a few thousand from somewhere, and that should be enough." Jia Lian said, "People's feelings these days have grown far too thin.，，，，。You, sir, are on mourning leave, and my own father is away from home, so for the moment there is no way to borrow anything.。”：“，。”：“。We shall just have to take the deeds to the houses and land out and pawn them." Jia Zheng said, "The house we live in was built by the government — how could that be touched?" Jia Lian said, "The residence cannot be touched, of course.，。There are still several other properties that could be disposed of; once you resume your post, sir, we can redeem them again — that would work too.，，。And when my father returns in the future, if he too should be reinstated, they could be redeemed then as well.，，。”：“，。It's just that, sir, at your age, to undergo such hardship — we nephews truly feel uneasy about it." Jia Zheng said, "This matter concerns the Old Ancestress; it is only right and proper.，。”：“，，。Just be careful while at home, and hold things firmly together — that will do." Jia Lian said, "On this you may certainly set your mind at ease, sir. Foolish as I am, I would never dare handle matters carelessly.，，。Besides, when you travel south, sir, you will surely take a good many people with you, so those left behind will be few, and this bit of expense should still be manageable.，，。”：“，。”“”，。Even if you should run short on the road, sir, since you must pass through the place where Lai Shangrong is posted, you might well have him lend a hand too." Jia Zheng said, "This is a matter concerning our own elder — why should we ask others for help?" Jia Lian answered "Yes," and withdrew to work out the money matters.

，。Because Jia Zheng had ordered Baoyu to sit for the examination, Lady Wang from time to time pressed and checked on his studies.，。As for Baochai and Xiren often encouraging and urging him on, that goes without saying.，，。Little did they know that although Baoyu's spirits grew stronger day by day after his illness, his thinking had grown all the more strange and eccentric, having changed into something else altogether.，。Not only did he grow weary of official rank and worldly advancement, he had even come to view romantic ties between men and women with much greater indifference.，。It was just that no one paid this much attention, and Baoyu himself never spoke of it.，，，：“，，，。One day, it happened that Zijuan, having seen Lin Daiyu's coffin off and returned, sat gloomily in her own room weeping, and thought to herself, "Baoyu is heartless — seeing his cousin Lin's coffin depart, he shed not a single sad tear, and seeing me weeping so bitterly he did not even come to console me, but instead just looked at me and smiled.，！A person so heartless as this — in the past it was all sweet talk and clever words to deceive us!，。Fortunately I managed to see through it the other night, or else I would nearly have been taken in by him again.，。There's just one thing I cannot understand — now I see that he is cold toward Xiren and the others as well.，？The Second Mistress has never much cared for closeness to begin with, but don't people like Sheyue resent him for it?，，！”，，，：“？I think most girls are foolishly devoted at heart, wasting all that worry for nothing all this while — just wait and see how things turn out in the end!" Just as she was thinking this, Wu'er happened to come in to see her, and seeing Zijuan's face streaked with tears, said, "Sister, are you thinking of Miss Lin again?，，。I think hearing of a person is not as good as seeing for oneself. Before, I heard that Master Bao was the very best toward girls, and so my mother insisted again and again on getting me placed in here.，，，，。”，，：“，，？Little did I know that after I came in and served him with all my heart and strength through several bouts of illness, now that he's recovered there isn't even one kind word left over for me — now he doesn't even so much as glance at me." Hearing her say this, Zijuan found it so amusing that she burst out laughing, and spat out, "Bah, you little wretch, just how exactly do you want Baoyu to treat you before you'd be satisfied?，，！”：“？”，，。A girl, and not even ashamed of herself — even his own proper, rightfully wedded women in the room look on as if nothing were the matter, a whole crowd of them, so where would he find the time to bother with you!" So saying, she laughingly drew a finger across her own face and asked, "Just what exactly are you supposed to be to Baoyu, anyway?" Hearing this, Wu'er realized she had misspoken, and her face flushed crimson.，，：“，。Just as she was about to explain that she had not meant it as wanting Baoyu to treat her in any particular way, and was about to speak of how he had shown no pity of late toward those beneath him, they suddenly heard a commotion of shouting outside the courtyard gate: "That monk from outside has come again, demanding that ten thousand taels of silver!，，。The Mistress is in a panic, and told Second Master Lian to go and speak with him, but as luck would have it Second Master Lian is not at home.，。”，。That monk is outside saying all sorts of mad things, and the Mistress asks that the Second Mistress be invited over to discuss it." Just how that monk was to be dealt with will be told in the next chapter.

What it’s about

With the jade restored, Baoyu enters a second visionary passage through the Realm of Great Void. He revisits the registers and songs of the women whose fates he failed to understand in chapter five, now recognizing deaths, separations and his own place in their design. Figures including Yuanyang draw him deeper into a world where household names appear as completed destinies. He wakes with sharper awareness and less attachment, no longer treating the jade simply as a charm that preserves his ordinary life.

The family meanwhile performs the duties that death and geography require. Jia Zheng prepares to escort the Lady Dowager's coffin south to the ancestral home, with arrangements also made for Daiyu's remains, and gives Jia Lian instructions for the vulnerable household left behind. Filial transport, accounts and routes occupy the waking world while Baoyu interprets kinship as a bond he must eventually leave. The chapter does not set spiritual insight against duty as simple opposites: Jia Zheng completes the material obligations to the dead, and Baoyu learns that his own completion will demand another kind of return.

When it was written 背景

The 120-chapter edition uses this return to 太虛幻境 to convert the prophecies of chapter five into retrospective explanation. A first-time reader met riddles; Baoyu now meets outcomes, and knowledge arrives only after the people concerned have suffered them. 仙緣 is his predestined connection to the supernatural, centered on the stone brought from Green Ridge Peak. The second title clause uses 孝道, filial duty, for conveying a parent's coffin to ancestral ground. That ceremonial journey prevents renunciation from becoming mere escape: the novel attends closely to what survivors owe bodies, graves and lineage. Learners should compare 悟, awakening to a pattern, with 送, physically accompanying the dead. Insight and logistics are different forms of completing a relationship.
