第三十三回　手足耽耽小動唇舌　不肖種種大承笞撻 A Brother's Malice Sparks a War of Words; A Wayward Son Is Severely Flogged

，，。Now, Lady Wang summoned Jinchuan's mother, presented her with several hairpins and bracelets in person, and also gave orders for several monks to be engaged to chant sutras for the deliverance of her soul.。Her mother kowtowed in thanks and withdrew.，，，，。It happened that Baoyu, having returned from meeting Yucun, had overheard all this and learned that Jinchuan, overcome with shame and resentment, had taken her own life; his heart was already torn with grief, and when he came in and was scolded and reprimanded by Lady Wang, he had nothing to say in reply.，，，，，，。Seeing Baochai come in, he seized the chance to slip out, wandering aimlessly with no idea where to go, hands clasped behind his back, head bowed, sighing as he walked slowly along, until his aimless steps brought him to the hall.，，。Just as he turned past the screen door, someone happened to be coming the other way, walking inward, and by ill chance he ran full into him.“！”，，，，，。He heard the man bark, "Stop right there!" Baoyu started in fright, and raising his head to look, saw it was none other than his father; involuntarily he caught his breath, and could only stand aside with his hands at his sides.：“，？Jia Zheng said, "What's this, moping about looking so downcast for no reason at all?，，，，。Just now when Yucun came wanting to see you, it took half the day of calling before you came out, and once you did come out, you showed not the slightest trace of open, spirited conversation — you were as listless and droopy as ever.，。I see your face is clouded all over with brooding and gloom, and now here you are sighing and groaning again.，？Isn't all that you have enough for you? Aren't you comfortable enough?，？”，，，。To be like this for no reason at all — what is it about?" Although Baoyu was normally quick and glib of tongue, at this moment his whole heart was given over to grief for Jinchuan, and he wished he might die then and there and follow her.，，。So now, though his father stood before him saying all this, he had not really heard a word of it, and simply stood there in a daze.

，，，。Seeing him so flustered and answering so unlike his usual self, Jia Zheng, who had not really been angry to begin with, now grew a good three parts angry because of it.，：“，。”，，：“，？”“”，，，。Just as he was about to speak, a servant came to report: "Someone has come from the Prince of Zhongshun's mansion, wanting to see Your Lordship." Hearing this, Jia Zheng was puzzled, and thought to himself privately, "We have never had any dealings with the Zhongshun mansion in the past — why would they send someone today?" Even as he wondered, he gave the order, "Show him in at once," and hurried out to look, and found it was the mansion's chief steward; he quickly ushered him into the hall, had him sit, and offered him tea.，：“，，，。Before they had exchanged any pleasantries, the steward spoke first: "In coming here, I have not presumed to intrude upon your noble mansion on my own account — I come entirely under the prince's orders, on a matter I must ask your help with.，，，。”，，：“，，，。”：“，。For the sake of His Highness, might I trouble you, my lord, to decide the matter? Not only would His Highness be grateful to know of it, but we underlings too would be endlessly thankful." Hearing this, Jia Zheng could make neither head nor tail of it, and rose hastily with a smile, asking, "Since you come, sir, under the prince's command, pray what instruction do you bring? I beg you to state it plainly, so that I, your student, may act upon it accordingly." The steward gave a cold smile and said, "There's no need for you to act on anything — a single word from you, my lord, will settle it.，，，，，。In our mansion there is an actor who plays young female roles, called Qiguan, who has always been perfectly settled with us; but now for three or five days he has not returned, and though we have searched everywhere, we cannot find any trace of his whereabouts, and so we have been making inquiries in every quarter.，，。Within this city, eight out of every ten people say that recently he has been on very close terms with your honored son, the one born with the jade in his mouth.，，，。When we underlings heard this, we knew your noble house is not like other households, into which one might presume to enter and demand things, and so we reported the matter to His Highness.：‘，，，，，。’，，，。”，。His Highness too said, 'Were it any other actor, even a hundred of them would not matter; but this Qiguan is quick-witted in his responses and careful and steady in his conduct, and he suits my old heart very well indeed — I truly cannot do without him.' For this reason I beg you, my lord, to pass word to your son, and ask that Qiguan be sent back: first, to answer His Highness's earnest entreaty, and second, so that we underlings may be spared the toil of searching further." Having said this, he bowed low at once.

，，。Hearing this, Jia Zheng was both startled and angry, and at once ordered that Baoyu be summoned.，，：“！Baoyu, not knowing what the matter was, hurried over, whereupon Jia Zheng demanded, "You wretch who deserves to die!，！That you neglect your studies at home is bad enough — but how could you go and do such lawless, heaven-defying things!，，，。”，：“。That Qiguan is at present a man in personal attendance before the Prince of Zhongshun himself — what sort of worthless nobody are you, that you should entice him away for no reason, and now bring disaster down upon me!" Hearing this, Baoyu was startled, and hastened to reply, "I truly know nothing of this matter.‘’，‘’！”。I don't even know what the two words 'Qiguan' refer to — how much less could there be any question of 'enticing' him!" And with this he began to weep.，：“。Before Jia Zheng could speak, the steward gave a cold smile and said, "There is no need for young master to conceal anything.，，，，？”，“，。”：“，？Whether he is hidden away in your house, or you know where he has gone, speak up now, and we shall be spared some trouble — would that not be to remember your kindness, young master?" Baoyu repeatedly said he did not know, adding, "Perhaps it's a false rumor — it may not even be true." The steward gave a cold smile and said, "We have evidence in hand right now — why still deny it?，？If I must say it plainly in front of your honored father, would that not put young master at a disadvantage?，？”，，，：“！You say you don't know this person — then how did that red sash come to be at young master's waist?" Hearing this, Baoyu felt as though his very soul had been blasted away; he stared dumbstruck, speechless, and thought to himself, "How could he possibly know this!，，，。”：“，？Since he already knows even such a secret matter as this, most likely there is nothing else I can hide from him either — better to send him on his way, so as to avoid his bringing up still other matters." So he said, "Since you, sir, already know all about him, how is it you don't know of so important a matter as his buying property and a house?，。I have heard it said that he now has, some twenty li east of the city, a place called something like Zitan Bao, where he has bought several mu of land and a few rooms of house.。”，：“，。It's quite possible he may be there — one can't be sure." Hearing this, the steward smiled and said, "If that's so, he must certainly be there.，，，。”，。I shall go look for him there at once; if I find him, well and good, and if not, I shall have to come back and trouble you again for advice." So saying, he hurried off at once.

，，“！By now Jia Zheng was so angry his eyes stared and his mouth twisted; even as he saw the steward off, he turned back and ordered Baoyu, "Don't you dare move!！”。I'll have words to ask you when I get back!" And he went on to see the official all the way out.，。He had scarcely turned around when he suddenly saw Jia Huan running wildly about with a few page boys.“，！”，，。Jia Zheng shouted an order to the servants, "Beat them, beat them at once!" When Jia Huan saw his father, he was so frightened his bones went soft and his sinews weak, and he hastily bowed his head and stood still.：“？Jia Zheng demanded, "What are you running for?，，！”。Those people assigned to look after you pay you no mind at all — who knows where they've wandered off to — letting you run wild like an unbroken colt!" And he shouted an order to summon those in charge of accompanying him to school.，：“，，，，，，。”，：“，？Seeing his father in such a rage, Jia Huan seized the chance to say, "Actually I wasn't running just now — it's only that as I passed by that well over there, I saw that a maid had drowned in it; her head was so swollen and her body so bloated, soaked till it was truly frightful to look at, and that's why I ran hurrying over here." Hearing this, Jia Zheng was alarmed and puzzled, and asked, "What's this — for no reason at all, who has gone and jumped into a well?，，。——，，。Nothing of this kind has ever happened in our family — ever since our ancestors' time, servants have always been treated with leniency and kindness. It must be that in recent years I have grown lax in household affairs, so that those in charge have naturally seized excessive power on their own authority, and this has brought about such a calamity of reckless waste of life.，！”、、。If outsiders come to hear of it, where will our ancestors' good name be!" And he shouted an order to summon Jia Lian, Lai Da, and Laixing at once.，，，：“。The servants answered and were just about to go call them, when Jia Huan hastily stepped forward, caught hold of the hem of Jia Zheng's robe, and knelt down close against his knee, saying, "Father, there's no need to be angry.，。Apart from the people in Mother's own quarters, no one else knows anything at all about this matter.……”，。I heard my mother say..." — and at this point he turned his head and glanced all around.，，，。Jia Zheng understood his meaning, and cast a glance at the servants; they took the hint at once and all withdrew to either side.：“，，，。Then Jia Huan said quietly, "My mother told me that the other day, in Mother's rooms, Brother Baoyu grabbed hold of Mother's maid Jinchuan and tried to force himself on her, and failing that, gave her a beating.。”，，”！”，“，！And Jinchuan, out of shame and resentment, threw herself into the well and died." Before he had even finished speaking, Jia Zheng's face had turned the color of gold paper with rage; he roared, "Fetch Baoyu here at once!" and even as he spoke he strode toward the inner study, shouting the order, "If anyone tries to plead with me for him today, I'll hand over this official cap and sash and every bit of this household's property to him, and let him go live with Baoyu!，，，。”，，，。I cannot avoid being counted a sinner then — I'll shave off these few troublesome hairs at my temples and find some clean, quiet place to end my own life, if only to escape the guilt of shaming my forebears above and raising a rebellious son below." When the hangers-on and servants saw Jia Zheng in this state, they knew at once it was on Baoyu's account again, and one and all bit their fingers and tongues in dismay, hastily withdrawing.，，“！Jia Zheng, panting for breath, sat bolt upright in his chair, his face streaked with tears, calling out over and over, "Fetch Baoyu!！Fetch the heavy cane!！Fetch a rope and tie him up!！Shut every gate!，！”，。If anyone carries word inside, I'll beat him to death on the spot!" The servants had no choice but to answer in chorus, and several of them went off to find Baoyu.

，，，。Hearing how ugly these words sounded, everyone realized he was beside himself with rage, and hastily withdrew again, having no choice but to seek someone to carry word inside.，，，，。Lady Wang dared not report to the Lady Dowager first, and had no choice but to hurry into her clothes and come out; heedless of who might be about, she rushed straight to the study, so flustering the hangers-on and page boys there that they could not get out of the way fast enough.，，。The moment Lady Wang entered the room, it was to Jia Zheng like oil poured on fire, and the paddle came down harder and faster than ever.，。The two page boys holding Baoyu down hastily let go and stepped away, and by now Baoyu could no longer move at all.，。Just as Jia Zheng was about to strike again, Lady Wang had already thrown her arms around the paddle to stop it.：“，！Jia Zheng said, "Enough, enough!！”：“，。Today you're clearly determined to see me dead of anger before you'll stop!" Lady Wang said, weeping, "Baoyu deserves a beating, it's true, but my lord must also have some care for himself.，，，，！”：“。Besides, in this scorching summer heat, the Old Ancestress herself has not been feeling very well either — beating Baoyu to death would be a small matter, but if the Old Ancestress should suddenly be taken unwell because of it, would that not be a far greater matter!" Jia Zheng gave a cold laugh and said, "Don't even speak of that.，，，，，！”，。That I have raised this worthless, unfilial wretch is already an offense against my own filial duty; when I try to discipline him a little, everyone protects him — better to strangle him to death once and for all today, and be rid of future trouble!" So saying, he called for a rope to strangle him with.：“，。Lady Wang hastily threw her arms around him, weeping, "My lord is right that he ought to discipline his son, but you must also have some regard for the bond between husband and wife.，，，。I am now a woman close to fifty, and this wretched boy is all I have; if you are absolutely determined to make an example of him, I dare not plead with you too strongly.，。But that today you should insist all the more on his death — is that not deliberately meant to cut me off as well?，，。If you must strangle him to death, then quickly bring the rope and strangle me first, and him after.，。”，。We, mother and son, will not dare harbor any resentment, and at least in the underworld we shall have each other to depend on." Having said this, she flung herself upon Baoyu's body and burst into loud weeping.，，，。Hearing these words, Jia Zheng could not help letting out a long sigh; he sat down in his chair, tears streaming down like rain.，，，，，，，，，“！”””，，“”：“，。”，。Lady Wang held Baoyu in her arms, and saw that his face was pale and his breath faint; the green gauze under-trousers he wore below were entirely stained with blood. Unable to bear it, she undid his sash to look, and from his buttocks down to his shins it was all bruised blue or purple, in places whole and in places broken open, without one spot left unhurt; unable to help herself, she burst into loud, uncontrollable weeping, crying, "Oh, my poor unfortunate son!" And having cried out "poor unfortunate son," she was suddenly reminded of Jia Zhu, and calling out the name "Jia Zhu," she wept, "If only you were still alive, I would not care even if a hundred others died!" By this time, those within, hearing that Lady Wang had come out, had already brought Li Gongcai, Wang Xifeng, and Yingchun and her sisters out as well.，，。When Lady Wang wept, calling Jia Zhu's name, the others could bear it well enough, but Gongcai alone could not hold back, and burst out sobbing aloud as well.，。Hearing this, Jia Zheng's tears rolled down all the more, like melons tumbling down.，：“。”，：“，，！”，，，，。Just as things were at their most unresolved, a maid was suddenly heard to say, "The Old Ancestress has come!" Before the words were even finished, a quavering voice was heard outside the window saying, "Beat me to death first, and then beat him to death — wouldn't that settle everything cleanly!" When Jia Zheng saw that his mother had come, he was both alarmed and grieved, and hurried out to meet her, to find the Lady Dowager leaning on a maid's arm, coming along breathless and panting.：“，？Jia Zheng stepped forward, bowed low, and said with a forced smile, "In this scorching heat, Mother, whatever could have angered you enough to come all this way yourself?。”，，：“！Whatever you had to say, you need only have called your son in and given your instructions." Hearing this, the Lady Dowager stopped where she was, caught her breath a while, and said sternly, "So it seems you're actually still willing to speak to me!，，！”，：“，。I do indeed have something to say — only, pity me, that in all my life I never raised a worthy son, so who am I to say it to!" Hearing how wrong this sounded, Jia Zheng hastily knelt down and said through tears, "As a son, in disciplining my own son, I too am acting for the honor and glory of our ancestors.，？”，，：“，，，？How could I, your son, bear to hear you speak so?" Hearing this, the Lady Dowager spat and said, "When I say just one thing, you can't bear it — but when you laid on such murderous blows with that paddle, do you suppose Baoyu could bear it?，！”，。You say disciplining your son is for the honor and glory of our ancestors — well, how did your own father discipline you back then!" And as she spoke, tears could not help rolling down her face.：“，，。”：“。Jia Zheng again forced a smile and said, "Mother need not grieve so — it was only that I, your son, lost my temper for a moment; from now on I'll never beat him again." The Lady Dowager gave a cold laugh and said, "There's no need for you to vent your temper and sulk at me over this.，。He is your son, after all, and it's not really my place to interfere whether you beat him or not.。I suspect you're sick and tired of us, mother and children as we are.，！”，“！”。Better that we should leave you as soon as possible, and everyone be rid of everyone else!"

众人听这话不好听，知道气急了，忙又退出，只得觅人进去给信。王夫人不敢先回贾母，只得忙穿衣出来，也不顾有人没人，忙忙赶往书房中来，慌的众门客小厮等避之不及。王夫人一进房来，贾政更如火上浇油一般，那板子越发下去的又狠又快。按宝玉的两个小厮忙松了手走开，宝玉早已动弹不得了。贾政还欲打时，早被王夫人抱住板子。贾政道：“罢了，罢了！今日必定要气死我才罢！”王夫人哭道：“宝玉虽然该打，老爷也要自重。况且炎天暑日的，老太太身上也不大好，打死宝玉事小，倘或老太太一时不自在了，岂不事大！”贾政冷笑道：“倒休提这话。我养了这不肖的孽障，已不孝，教训他一番，又有众人护持，不如趁今日一发勒死了，以绝将来之患！”说著，便要绳索来勒死。王夫人连忙抱住哭道：“老爷虽然应当管教儿子，也要看夫妻分上。我如今已将五十岁的人，只有这个孽障，必定苦苦的以他为法，我也不敢深劝。今日越发要他死，岂不是有意绝我。既要勒死他，快拿绳子来先勒死我，再勒死他。我们娘儿们不敢含怨，到底在阴司里得个依靠。”说毕，爬在宝玉身上大哭起来。贾政听了此话，不觉长叹一声，向椅上坐了，泪如雨下。王夫人抱著宝玉，只见他面白气弱，底下穿著一条绿纱小衣皆是血渍，禁不住解下汗巾看，由臀至胫，或青或紫，或整或破，竟无一点好处，不觉失声大哭起来，“苦命的儿吓！”因哭出”苦命儿”来，忽又想起贾珠来，便叫著“贾珠”哭道：“若有你活著，便死一百个我也不管了。”此时里面的人闻得王夫人出来，那李宫裁王熙凤与迎春姊妹早已出来了。王夫人哭著贾珠的名字，别人还可，惟有宫裁禁不住也放声哭了。贾政听了，那泪珠更似滚瓜一般滚了下来。正没开交处，忽听丫鬟来说：“老太太来了。”一句话未了，只听窗外颤巍巍的声气说道：“先打死我，再打死他，岂不干净了！”贾政见他母亲来了，又急又痛，连忙迎接出来，只见贾母扶著丫头，喘吁吁的走来。贾政上前躬身陪笑道：“大暑热天，母亲有何生气亲自走来？有话只该叫了儿子进去吩咐。”贾母听说，便止住步喘息一回，厉声说道：“你原来是和我说话！我倒有话吩咐，只是可怜我一生没养个好儿子，却教我和谁说去！”贾政听这话不象，忙跪下含泪说道：“为儿的教训儿子，也为的是光宗耀祖。母亲这话，我做儿的如何禁得起？”贾母听说，便啐了一口，说道：“我说一句话，你就禁不起，你那样下死手的板子，难道宝玉就禁得起了？你说教训儿子是光宗耀祖，当初你父亲怎么教训你来！”说著，不觉就滚下泪来。贾政又陪笑道：“母亲也不必伤感，皆是作儿的一时性起，从此以后再不打他了。”贾母便冷笑道：“你也不必和我使性子赌气的。你的儿子，我也不该管你打不打。我猜著你也厌烦我们娘儿们。不如我们赶早儿离了你，大家干净！”说著便令人去看轿马，“我和你太太宝玉立刻回南京去！”家下人只得干答应著。贾母又叫王夫人道：“你也不必哭了。如今宝玉年纪小，你疼他，他将来长大成人，为官作宰的，也未必想著你是他母亲了。你如今倒不要疼他，只怕将来还少生一口气呢。”贾政听说，忙叩头哭道：“母亲如此说，贾政无立足之地。”贾母冷笑道：“你分明使我无立足之地，你反说起你来！只是我们回去了，你心里干净，看有谁来许你打。”一面说，一面只令快打点行李车轿回去。贾政苦苦叩求认罪。

、、、。By this time, Aunt Xue, along with Baochai, Xiangling, Xiren, and Shi Xiangyun, were all there as well.，，，，，，，：“，？Xiren's heart was full of injustice on Baoyu's behalf, but it would not do for her to show it too openly; seeing everyone crowded around, some giving him water and some fanning him, with no room left for her to lend a hand, she went further and walked out to the second gate, and had the page boys fetch Beiming, whom she questioned closely: "Everything was fine just now — why did the beating start?！”：“，。Why didn't you come and give word of it earlier!" Beiming said anxiously, "As luck would have it, I wasn't nearby; it wasn't until the beating was half over that I even heard of it.，。”：“？”：“，，，，。I hurried to find out the reason, and it turns out it was over the matter of Qiguan and Sister Jinchuan." Xiren said, "How did the master come to learn of it?" Beiming said, "As for the Qiguan business, it's most likely that Master Xue, who has long been jealous, with no way to vent his spite, put someone up to it out there somewhere, and had them stir up trouble in front of the master.，。”，。As for the Jinchuan matter, it was Third Master who told of it — I heard this too from one of the master's own people." Xiren, hearing that both these matters fit the circumstances so well, found herself believing them eight or nine parts in her heart.，。After that she went back in, to find everyone attending to Baoyu's treatment.，“”。Once the arrangements were complete, Grandmother Jia ordered that he be "carried carefully to his own room."，，。The assembled crowd assented, and with much scurrying about, hastened to carry Baoyu into Yihong Court and lay him properly on his own bed.，，，。After another spell of confusion, the crowd gradually dispersed, and only then did Xiren come forward to attend him with full care, asking him just how it had happened.。Read on to the next chapter to learn more.

What it’s about

Jia Huan tells Jia Zheng a malicious version of Jinchuan's death, claiming that Baoyu attempted to rape her. At nearly the same moment an officer from the Prince of Zhongshun's household arrives demanding the whereabouts of Jiang Yuhan. Baoyu's knowledge of the actor and the exchanged sash makes his father suspect illicit associations and defiance. Jia Zheng sees rumor, sexual misconduct and contempt for official discipline converging in one supposedly unworthy son, while Jia Huan watches for a chance to displace his favored half-brother.

Jia Zheng has Baoyu beaten so brutally that servants fear he will die. Lady Wang stops the punishment by invoking the dead elder son Jia Zhu, and the Lady Dowager arrives to condemn Jia Zheng and threaten to return to Nanjing. Their interventions save Baoyu but also reveal the family structure around him: paternal authority is checked by senior women, grief and succession politics. Carried back to the garden, Baoyu remains spiritually opposed to the career path his father demands, but the wounds make clear that refusal is enacted on a body others claim the right to govern.

When it was written 背景

The beating is a major collision between Baoyu's garden existence and the patriarchal, official world outside it. Jia Zheng's violence is not presented as a random temper alone: elite fathers were charged with disciplining heirs, and Baoyu's tie to a prince's runaway favorite creates genuine political danger. Yet the extremity of the punishment exposes discipline as terror, fueled by accumulated rumor and Jia Huan's rivalry. The title's 'brotherly' threat is bitterly ironic. Readers should also notice the women's authority within patriarchy: Lady Wang and the Lady Dowager can halt the beating, but their power derives from motherhood, seniority and the same lineage system that makes Baoyu indispensable.
