，。The moment he came out, he wished he could reach Xiaoxiang Lodge in a single stride.，：“！”。No sooner had he entered the doorway than he clapped his hands and cried with a laugh, “Here I am, back just as before!” His sudden appearance gave Daiyu quite a fright.，。Zijuan raised the curtain, and Baoyu went in and sat down.：“。Daiyu said, “I vaguely heard that you had gone to your lessons.？”：“，！How are you back so early?” Baoyu said, “Oh, it was dreadful!，。Wasn’t I summoned by Father to go and study today? It felt as though I had not seen any of you for ages.，，，‘，。”：“？”：“。”：“？”：“。”：“。”：“，。I barely managed to endure the day. Now that I see you again, it is just like returning to life from the dead. The ancients truly spoke aright when they said, ‘One day apart seems like three autumns.’” Daiyu asked, “Have you been to see your elders?” Baoyu said, “I have seen them all.” Daiyu asked, “And the others?” Baoyu said, “No.” Daiyu said, “You ought to go and see them too.” Baoyu replied, “I cannot be bothered to move just now. Let me sit and talk with you for a while, dear cousin.，。”：“，。”：“，。Father also told me to sleep and rise early, so I shall just have to see them tomorrow.” Daiyu said, “Sit for a little while, but you really ought to go and rest soon.” Baoyu replied, “I am not tired; I was only stifled with boredom.，。”，：“。Now that sitting here together has finally dispelled it, you are already urging me to leave.” Daiyu smiled faintly and called to Zijuan, “Brew Second Master a cup of my Longjing tea.，。”，，。Second Master is studying now; things are not as they used to be.” Zijuan laughingly assented, fetched the tea leaves, and told a young maid to brew the tea.：“，。Baoyu continued, “Don’t speak to me of studying. I detest all that moralizing pedantry.，，。The eight-legged essays are more absurd still. It would be one thing merely to use them to swindle oneself an official degree and earn a living, but they even claim to speak on behalf of the sages.，，，，，，。The better ones merely cobble together passages from the classics, which is tolerable enough; but there is an even more ridiculous kind, written by men with nothing in their bellies, who drag in scraps from east and west and concoct a monstrous jumble, all the while imagining themselves profound and erudite.。How can that possibly be an exposition of the sages’ principles?，，。”：“，，。At present Father keeps telling me to study this stuff, and I dare not disobey him; yet here you are speaking of studying too.” Daiyu said, “Though we girls have no need of it, I did read some of it when I studied as a child with your Teacher Yucun.，。Some pieces are reasonable and true to life, while others possess a pure, subtle, and serene remoteness.，，。Though I did not understand much at the time, I still thought them good.

赶著出来，恨不得一走就走到潇湘馆才好。刚进门口，便拍著手笑道：“我依旧回来了！”猛可里倒唬了黛玉一跳。紫鹃打起帘子，宝玉进来坐下。黛玉道：“我恍惚听见你念书去了。这么早就回来了？”宝玉道：“嗳呀，了不得！我今儿不是被老爷叫了念书去了么，心上倒象没有和你们见面的日子了。好容易熬了一天，这会子瞧见你们，竟如死而复生的一样，真真古人说‘一日三秋，这话再不错的。”黛玉道：“你上头去过了没有？”宝玉道：“都去过了。”黛玉道：“别处呢？”宝玉道：“没有。”黛玉道：“你也该瞧瞧他们去。”宝玉道：“我这会子懒待动了，只和妹妹坐著说一会子话儿罢。老爷还叫早睡早起，只好明儿再瞧他们去了。”黛玉道：“你坐坐儿，可是正该歇歇儿去了。”宝玉道：“我那里是乏，只是闷得慌。这会子咱们坐著才把闷散了，你又催起我来。”黛玉微微的一笑，因叫紫鹃：“把我的龙井茶给二爷沏一碗。二爷如今念书了，比不的头里。”紫鹃笑著答应，去拿茶叶，叫小丫头子沏茶。宝玉接著说道：“还提什么念书，我最厌这些道学话。更可笑的是八股文章，拿他诓功名混饭吃也罢了，还要说代圣贤立言。好些的，不过拿些经书凑搭凑搭还罢了，更有一种可笑的，肚子里原没有什么，东拉西扯，弄的牛鬼蛇神，还自以为博奥。这那里是阐发圣贤的道理。目下老爷口口声声叫我学这个，我又不敢违拗，你这会子还提念书呢。”黛玉道：“我们女孩儿家虽然不要这个，但小时跟著你们雨村先生念书，也曾看过。内中也有近情近理的，也有清微淡远的。那时候虽不大懂，也觉得好，不可一概抹倒。况且你要取功名，这个也清贵些。”宝玉听到这里，觉得不甚入耳，因想黛玉从来不是这样人，怎么也这样势欲熏心起来？又不敢在他跟前驳回，只在鼻子眼里笑了一声。正说著，忽听外面两个人说话，却是秋纹和紫鹃。只听秋纹道：“袭人姐姐叫我老太太那里接去，谁知却在这里。”紫鹃道：“我们这里才沏了茶，索性让他喝了再去。”说著，二人一齐进来。宝玉和秋纹笑道：“我就过去，又劳动你来找。”秋纹未及答言，只见紫鹃道：“你快喝了茶去罢，人家都想了一天了。”秋纹啐道：“呸，好混帐丫头！”说的大家都笑了。宝玉起身才辞了出来。黛玉送到屋门口儿，紫鹃在台阶下站著，宝玉出去，才回房里来。

，，，：“？”：“，。”：“？ ”：“。Now to return to Baoyu: when he reached Happy Red Court and entered his room, Xiren came out from the inner chamber to meet him and asked, “You are back?” Qiuwen answered, “Second Master came back some time ago; he was over at Miss Lin’s.” Baoyu asked, “Has anything happened today?” Xiren said, “Nothing has happened.：，，。But just now Her Ladyship sent Sister Yuanyang with orders for us: now that Master is determined to make you study, if any of the maids dares to joke or play with you again, she is to be dealt with as Qingwen and Siqi were.，，，。”，。I cannot see much pleasure in serving you all this time only to earn such remarks.” As she spoke, she grew heartsore.：“，。Baoyu hastily said, “Dear sister, set your mind at ease.，。I shall apply myself properly to my studies, and Her Ladyship will have no more cause to blame any of you.，。I must study again tonight, for tomorrow my teacher will ask me to explain the classics.，，。”：“，。”，，，””。If I need anything, there are always Sheyue and Qiuwen; you go and have a rest.” Xiren said, “If you are truly willing to study, we shall be happy to serve you.” At this, Baoyu hurried through his supper, ordered the lamps lit, and took out the Four Books he had already studied.？But where was he to begin?，，，。He opened one of the books. At first glance, every chapter seemed clear, but when he examined it closely, it was not very clear at all.，，，：“，。”。He read the minor commentaries and then the lecture notes, struggling on until the night watch was sounded. He thought, “Poetry and verse come very easily to me, but with this I cannot make head or tail of anything.” Then he sat there staring blankly, lost in thought.：“，。”。Xiren said, “Have a rest. Applying yourself does not depend on this one evening.” Baoyu merely gave distracted answers.，。Only after Sheyue and Xiren had settled him in bed did the two of them go to sleep.，。When they awoke after a spell of sleep, they could still hear Baoyu tossing and turning on the kang.：“？Xiren said, “Are you still awake?，。”：“，。Stop letting your thoughts run wild and preserve your strength, so that you can study well tomorrow.” Baoyu said, “That is what I think too, but I cannot sleep.。”：“，。”：“。”。Come and take off one layer of quilts for me.” Xiren said, “It is not warm tonight; better leave them on.” Baoyu replied, “I feel terribly feverish and agitated.” He pushed the bedding down himself.，，。Xiren hurriedly sat up and held him still, then put her hand to his forehead and found that he had a slight fever.：“，。”：“。”：“！”：“，。Xiren said, “Keep still; you are a little feverish.” Baoyu said, “So I am.” Xiren exclaimed, “How did this happen?” Baoyu said, “It is nothing to fear; it is because I have been so troubled at heart.，，，。Do not make a commotion, or Father may hear of it and say I am feigning illness to avoid school—for how else could I fall ill at such a convenient time?，。”，：“。”，。Once I am better tomorrow, I shall simply go to school as usual, and that will be the end of it.” Xiren felt sorry for him too and said, “I shall sleep beside you.” She massaged his back for a while, and before they knew it, they both fell asleep.，。They did not rise until the red sun was high in the sky.：“，！”，，。Baoyu cried, “This is terrible—I am late!” He hurriedly washed and dressed, paid his morning respects, and went off to school.，：“，。Dairu’s face had already darkened. He said, “No wonder your father is angry and says you will never amount to anything.，！”，，。On your very second day you grow lazy! Look what time you have come!” Baoyu explained that he had had a fever the previous night, and the matter was finally let pass; he resumed his usual lessons.，：“，。”，””。Toward evening, Dairu said, “Baoyu, come and explain a chapter for me.” Baoyu went over and saw that it was the chapter beginning, “The young are to be held in awe.”：“，‘’‘’。”：“？”：“。”，：“，，……”，。Baoyu thought, “This is not so bad; luckily it is not from the Great Learning or the Doctrine of the Mean.” He asked, “How am I to explain it?” Dairu said, “Explain the purport of each section and every sentence carefully.” Baoyu first recited the chapter in a clear, ringing voice, then said, “In this chapter the Sage exhorts the young, instructing them to apply themselves in good time and not end up...” At this point, he looked up at Dairu.，：“，。《》‘’，，‘’？”：“。Dairu understood and said with a smile, “Go on. In explaining the classics there are no names one must avoid. The Book of Rites says, ‘When dealing with a text, one does not observe name taboos.’ Go on, then—‘not end up’ how?” Baoyu said, “Not end up old and without accomplishment.‘’，‘’。”，。First the words ‘to be held in awe’ rouse the ambition of the young; afterward, the words ‘not worthy of awe’ warn them about their future.” When he had finished, he looked at Dairu.：“。Dairu said, “That will do, more or less.？”：“，，，，。Now give me the connected exposition.” Baoyu said, “The Sage says that while a person is young, his intelligence and abilities make him clever and capable in every way, and he is truly formidable.。Who can say for certain that in later years he will not be as I am today?，，，，，。”：“，。‘’。‘’，‘’。But if he drifts idly on until forty and then fifty, without managing to rise in the world, then although he may have seemed useful in his youth, by that age no one will fear him for the rest of his life.” Dairu smiled and said, “Your outline of the purport was quite clear, but your exposition has something childish about it. The words ‘without repute’ do not mean failing to rise in office. ‘Repute’ means that one has truly come to understand principle and apprehend the Way; even without taking office, one may still possess ‘repute.’，，，‘’？‘’，‘’‘’，‘’。Otherwise, what of the ancient sages and worthies who withdrew from the world and remained unknown? Since they did not take office, must they too be called ‘without repute’? ‘Not worthy of awe’ means that one can judge his future with certainty, thus answering precisely to the word ‘know’ in ‘how do we know’; it does not mean being afraid.，。Only by seeing it in this way can you penetrate the finer meaning.？”：“。”：“，。”，。Do you understand?” Baoyu said, “I understand.” Dairu said, “There is another chapter; explain that one too.” Dairu turned back a section and pointed it out to Baoyu.”。”，：“。”：“！Baoyu saw that it was, “I have yet to see a man who loves virtue as he loves beauty.” He found this chapter rather painfully pointed, so he smiled ingratiatingly and said, “There is not much to explain in this sentence.” Dairu said, “Nonsense!，？”，：“，。If this were set as a topic in the examination hall, would you say there was nothing to write about either?” Baoyu had no choice but to explain: “The Sage saw that men were unwilling to love virtue, yet the moment they saw beauty they loved it beyond measure.，。They fail to realize that virtue is something inherent in their own nature, yet perversely none of them is willing to love it.，，。As for beauty, although the love of it is also brought with us from our innate nature, there is no one who does not delight in it.，，。But virtue belongs to Heaven’s principle, while beauty belongs to human desire; how could people be willing to love Heaven’s principle as they love human desire?，。Although Confucius speaks in lamentation, his words also express the hope that people will turn back.，，。”：“。Moreover, they show that even when people do love virtue, their love is ultimately shallow; only when they love it as they love beauty can it be called true love.” Dairu said, “That explanation will do.：，？But I have a question for you: since you understand the Sage’s words, why are you guilty of precisely these two failings?，，。Though I do not live in your household and your father has never told me, I nevertheless know all about your faults.，？How can a man not aspire to improve himself?‘’，‘’‘’。You are now at precisely the age when ‘the young are to be held in awe’; whether you acquire ‘repute’ or become ‘unworthy of awe’ depends entirely upon what you yourself do.，，。I now give you one month to put all the old books you have studied thoroughly in order, and then another month to study model essays.。After that I shall set topics and have you compose essays.，。If you grow slack, I shall certainly not tolerate it.：‘，。’。”，。As the old saying goes, ‘One who would become a man cannot live at ease; one who lives at ease will never become a man.’ Be sure to remember my words.” Baoyu assented and had no choice but to follow his prescribed course every day.。We shall say no more of this.

却说宝玉回到怡红院中，进了屋子，只见袭人从里间迎出来，便问：“回来了么？”秋纹应道：“二爷早来了，在林姑娘那边来著。”宝玉道：“今日有事没有？ ”袭人道：“事却没有。方才太太叫鸳鸯姐姐来吩咐我们：如今老爷发狠叫你念书，如有丫鬟们再敢和你顽笑，都要照著晴雯司棋的例办。我想，伏侍你一场，赚了这些言语，也没什么趣儿。”说著，便伤起心来。宝玉忙道：“好姐姐，你放心。我只好生念书，太太再不说你们了。我今儿晚上还要看书，明日师父叫我讲书呢。我要使唤，横竖有麝月秋纹呢，你歇歇去罢。”袭人道：“你要真肯念书，我们伏侍你也是欢喜的。”宝玉听了，赶忙吃了晚饭，就叫点灯，把念过的”四书”翻出来。只是从何处看起？翻了一本，看去章章里头似乎明白，细按起来，却不很明白。看著小注，又看讲章，闹到梆子下来了，自己想道：“我在诗词上觉得很容易，在这个上头竟没头脑。”便坐著呆呆的呆想。袭人道：“歇歇罢，做工夫也不在这一时的。”宝玉嘴里只管胡乱答应。麝月袭人才伏侍他睡下，两个才也睡了。及至睡醒一觉，听得宝玉炕上还是翻来复去。袭人道：“你还醒著呢么？你倒别混想了，养养神明儿好念书。”宝玉道：“我也是这样想，只是睡不著。你来给我揭去一层被。”袭人道：“天气不热，别揭罢。”宝玉道：“我心里烦躁的很。”自把被窝褪下来。袭人忙爬起来按住，把手去他头上一摸，觉得微微有些发烧。袭人道：“你别动了，有些发烧了。”宝玉道：“可不是。”袭人道：“这是怎么说呢！”宝玉道：“不怕，是我心烦的原故。你别吵嚷，省得老爷知道了，必说我装病逃学，不然怎么病的这样巧。明儿好了，原到学里去就完事了。”袭人也觉得可怜，说道：“我靠著你睡罢。”便和宝玉捶了一回脊梁，不知不觉大家都睡著了。直到红日高升，方才起来。宝玉道：“不好了，晚了！”急忙梳洗毕，问了安，就往学里来了。代儒已经变著脸，说：“怪不得你老爷生气，说你没出息。第二天你就懒惰，这是什么时候才来！”宝玉把昨儿发烧的话说了一遍，方过去了，原旧念书。到了下晚，代儒道：“宝玉，有一章书你来讲讲。”宝玉过来一看，却是”后生可畏”章。宝玉心上说：“这还好，幸亏不是‘学’‘庸’。”问道：“怎么讲呢？”代儒道：“你把节旨句子细细儿讲来。”宝玉把这章先朗朗的念了一遍，说：“这章书是圣人劝勉后生，教他及时努力，不要弄到……”说到这里，抬头向代儒一瞧。代儒觉得了，笑了一笑道：“你只管说，讲书是没有什么避忌的。《礼记》上说‘临文不讳’，只管说，‘不要弄到’什么？”宝玉道：“不要弄到老大无成。先将‘可畏’二字激发后生的志气，后把‘不足畏’二字警惕后生的将来。”说罢，看著代儒。代儒道：“也还罢了。串讲呢？”宝玉道：“圣人说，人生少时，心思才力，样样聪明能干，实在是可怕的。那里料得定他后来的日子不象我的今日。若是悠悠忽忽到了四十岁，又到五十岁，既不能够发达，这种人虽是他后生时象个有用的，到了那个时候，这一辈子就没有人怕他了。”代儒笑道：“你方才节旨讲的倒清楚，只是句子里有些孩子气。‘无闻’二字不是不能发达做官的话。‘闻’是实在自己能够明理见道，就不做官也是有‘闻’了。不然，古圣贤有遁世不见知的，岂不是不做官的人，难道也是‘无闻’么？‘不足畏’是使人料得定，方与‘焉知’的‘知’字对针，不是‘怕’的字眼。要从这里看出，方能入细。你懂得不懂得？”宝玉道：“懂得了。”代儒道：“还有一章，你也讲一讲。”代儒往前揭了一篇，指给宝玉。宝玉看是”吾未见好德如好色者也。”宝玉觉得这一章却有些刺心，便陪笑道：“这句话没有什么讲头。”代儒道：“胡说！譬如场中出了这个题目，也说没有做头么？”宝玉不得已，讲道：“是圣人看见人不肯好德，见了色便好的了不得。殊不想德是性中本有的东西，人偏都不肯好他。至于那个色呢，虽也是从先天中带来，无人不好的。但是德乃天理，色是人欲，人那里肯把天理好的象人欲似的。孔子虽是叹息的话，又是望人回转来的意思。并且见得人就有好德的好得终是浮浅，直要象色一样的好起来，那才是真好呢。”代儒道：“这也讲的罢了。我有句话问你：你既懂得圣人的话，为什么正犯著这两件病？我虽不在家中，你们老爷也不曾告诉我，其实你的毛病我却尽知的。做一个人，怎么不望长进？你这会儿正是‘后生可畏’的时候，‘有闻’‘不足畏’全在你自己做去了。我如今限你一个月，把念过的旧书全要理清，再念一个月文章。以后我要出题目叫你作文章了。如若懈怠，我是断乎不依的。自古道：‘成人不自在，自在不成人。’你好生记著我的话。”宝玉答应了，也只得天天按著功课干去。不提。

，。Now, after Baoyu began attending school, Happy Red Court seemed exceptionally quiet and leisurely.，，，。Xiren was at last able to do some needlework. Taking up needle and thread to embroider a betel-nut pouch, she reflected that now Baoyu had a regular course of study, the maids too would have no more mischief born of idleness.，？If only things had been so from the beginning, why would Qingwen have come to such an unhappy end?，。As the hare dies, the fox grieves; before she knew it, tears began to fall.，。Then it suddenly occurred to her that she was never destined to be Baoyu’s principal wife, but only a concubine.，，，。She felt she could manage Baoyu’s temperament well enough; she feared only that if he married a formidable woman, she herself would become another You Erjie or Xiangling.，。Judging from Grandmother Jia’s and Lady Wang’s manner, and from hints that Xifeng had often let fall, the bride would naturally be Daiyu—there could be no doubt of it.。And Daiyu was exceedingly sensitive and suspicious.，，，，。At this thought, Xiren’s face flushed and her heart grew hot; she no longer knew where she was thrusting her needle. She put down her work and went to Daiyu’s quarters to sound out her feelings.

，：“？”？”，，：“？”：“。”：“。”，。As they spoke, an old woman was heard asking in the courtyard, “Is this Miss Lin’s room? Is that young lady here?” Xueyan came out and dimly recognized her as someone from Aunt Xue’s household. She asked, “What is it?” The woman said, “Our young lady sent me to deliver something to Miss Lin here.” Xueyan said, “Please wait a moment.” She went in and reported to Daiyu, who told her to bring the woman inside.，，，，：“？”：“。”，：“？”：“？”：“，，。The woman entered and paid her respects, but instead of saying what she had brought, she narrowed her eyes and stared at Daiyu until Daiyu felt quite embarrassed. Daiyu therefore asked, “What has Miss Bao sent me?” Only then did the woman reply with a smile, “Our young lady has sent you a jar of candied lychees.” Turning, she caught sight of Xiren and asked, “Isn’t this Miss Hua from Second Master Bao’s rooms?” Xiren smiled and asked, “How do you know me, mother?” The woman smiled and said, “We only mind the rooms at Her Ladyship’s and seldom accompany the ladies and young misses when they go out, so none of you young ladies knows us very well.，。”，，，：“，。”，：“，，。”：“，。But whenever you visit our side of the house, we remember you vaguely.” As she spoke, she handed a jar to Xueyan, then turned to look at Daiyu once more and said to Xiren with a smile, “No wonder our lady says that Miss Lin and your Second Master Bao make a perfect pair. She truly does look like a heavenly immortal.” Seeing how presumptuously the woman spoke, Xiren hurriedly changed the subject: “You must be tired, mother. Sit down and have some tea.” The woman said with a beaming smile, “We are busy over there, making all the arrangements for Miss Qin’s affair.，。”，。Our young lady has two more jars of lychees for us to take to Second Master Bao.” With that, she took her leave and tottered out.，，。Though Daiyu was annoyed by the woman’s impertinence, she had been sent by Baochai, so Daiyu could hardly rebuke her.，：“。”：“，，。”。Only when the woman had passed through the door did Daiyu say, “Tell your young lady that it was most thoughtful of her.” The old woman continued muttering, “With looks as fine as those, who but Baoyu could ever be worthy of her?” Daiyu pretended not to hear.：“，，，。”。Xiren laughed and said, “Why is it that people begin talking such nonsense when they grow old? What they say makes one angry and amused at once.” Presently Xueyan brought the jar over for Daiyu to see.：“，。”，。Daiyu said, “I have no desire to eat them. Put them away somewhere.” They talked a while longer before Xiren left.

，，，，。Later, as Daiyu was about to remove her evening makeup, she entered the inner room and suddenly looked up to see the lychee jar. She could not help recalling the old woman’s wild remarks that day, and they pierced her heart deeply.，，。In the stillness of twilight, a thousand sorrows and ten thousand thoughts crowded into her mind.，。She thought of how precarious her health was and how she was growing older.，，。Judging from Baoyu’s manner, there was no one else in his heart; yet neither the Old Lady nor her aunt showed the slightest sign of intending a match.，。She bitterly regretted that while her parents were alive, they had not arranged this marriage early.：“，，，。”，，。Then another thought came to her: “Had my parents lived, they might have betrothed me elsewhere. How could anyone there have matched Baoyu in talent and goodness of heart? As things stand now, there is still something to hope for.” Her feelings rose and fell, winding endlessly round and round like a well windlass.，，，。She sighed for a while and shed a few tears; listless and dispirited, she lay down fully dressed.

，：“。”：“，，？Before she knew it, a young maid came and said, “Master Jia Yucun is outside and asks to see you, miss.” Daiyu said, “Though I once studied under him, I was not like one of his male pupils. Why should he wish to see me?，，。”：“‘’，。”：“，。”，，，：“，。”：“？”：“。Besides, though he has dealings with Uncle, he has never mentioned me before, and it would not be proper for me to meet him.” She told the maid, “Reply that I am ill and cannot come out; convey my respects and thanks, and that will suffice.” The maid said, “I fear he has come to offer congratulations; someone has also come from Nanjing to fetch you.” As she spoke, Xifeng appeared with Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Baochai, and the others, all smiling and saying, “We have come first to congratulate you, and second to see you off.” Daiyu cried in alarm, “What are you talking about?” Xifeng said, “Why pretend to be bewildered?，，。Can it be that you do not know your father, Master Lin, has been promoted to Grain Intendant of Hubei and has married a second wife with whom he is perfectly happy?，，，，，。Now he has remembered that leaving you here is hardly proper, so he asked Jia Yucun to act as matchmaker and has betrothed you to some relative of your stepmother’s, a widower seeking a second wife. That is why he has sent someone here to take you home.，。He was probably going to take you away as soon as he got home, and your stepmother will have the final say in everything.，。”。They are afraid you may have no one to look after you on the journey, so they are even asking your Cousin Lian to escort you there.” At these words, Daiyu broke out in a cold sweat.，：“，。”，”，。”：“。”，。In her daze, Daiyu seemed to see her father still alive and holding office there; growing desperate, she insisted, “There is no such thing—it is all Cousin Feng making mischief.” She saw Lady Xing give Lady Wang a wink. “She still does not believe us. Let us go.” Holding back her tears, Daiyu said, “Please stay a little longer, Aunties.” Without a word, they all gave cold smiles and left.，，。Daiyu was inwardly frantic, but could not get the words out and only sobbed and choked.，：“，。”，：“！Then, in her bewilderment, she seemed to be with Grandmother Jia; she thought, “Only by appealing to the Old Lady may I perhaps still be saved.” She dropped to her knees, clasped Grandmother Jia around the waist, and cried, “Old Lady, save me!！I will die before I go south!，。Besides, now that there is a stepmother, she is no true mother of mine.。”：“。”：“，。”：“，。”：“，，。”：“。I would rather remain with the Old Lady.” But the Old Lady merely smiled with a blank expression and said, “That is no concern of mine.” Daiyu wept, “Old Lady, what is the meaning of this?” The Old Lady said, “A second marriage is all to the good; it means another dowry besides.” Daiyu cried, “If I stay with you, Old Lady, I shall never cost this household any extra money. I ask only that you save me.” Grandmother Jia said, “It is no use now.，，，，。”：“，，。Once a girl is grown, she must marry in the end. You are still a child and do not understand: staying here can never be a lasting settlement.” Daiyu said, “I would gladly remain here and live as a servant, earning my own keep and feeding myself.。”。I ask only that the Old Lady decide for me.” The Old Lady remained silent.：“，，，！Clinging to Grandmother Jia’s waist, Daiyu cried, “Old Lady, you have always been the most compassionate of people and have always loved me best; why, now that I am in desperate need, will you do nothing at all?，，，，。”，，：“，。Even if I am only your daughter’s daughter and so one degree removed, my mother was your own flesh and blood; for my mother’s sake, you ought to give me some protection.” With this, she flung herself against the Old Lady’s breast and wept bitterly, only to hear Grandmother Jia say, “Yuanyang, come and take the young lady out to rest.。”，，，。She has quite worn me out with all this fuss.” Daiyu realized there was no hope: pleading was useless, and she might as well find a way to kill herself. She rose and walked out.，，，。She grieved bitterly that she had no mother of her own. Her grandmother, aunts, and cousins had all treated her so well in ordinary times, but now she saw that it had all been false.：“？Then another thought came to her: “Why is Baoyu the only one I have not seen today?，？”，：“。”，，，：“，，。”：“？Perhaps if I could see him, he might still find some way to help me?” At once Baoyu appeared before her, grinning, and said, “Congratulations, little cousin!” These words made Daiyu more desperate than ever. Forgetting all restraint, she seized Baoyu tightly and said, “Very well, Baoyu! Only today have I learned what a heartless, faithless person you are.” Baoyu said, “How am I heartless and faithless?，。”，，：“，？”：“，。Since you have been promised to another family, each of us must go his own way.” The more Daiyu heard, the angrier and more helpless she became. She could only cling to Baoyu and cry, “Dear brother, whom would you have me follow?” Baoyu said, “If you do not want to go, stay here.，。You were promised to me in the first place; that is why you came to live with our family.，。”，，：“。Think how I have treated you.” In her daze, Daiyu seemed to remember that she truly had been promised to Baoyu; suddenly her sorrow turned to joy, and she asked him, “I have resolved upon this, whether I live or die.？”：“。Tell me plainly: do you want me to go or not?” Baoyu said, “I have told you to stay.，。”，，。If you do not believe me, then look at my heart.” With that, he took a small knife and slashed his chest, and blood came streaming out.，，：“，！”：“，。”。Daiyu was so frightened that her soul nearly left her body. She hurriedly pressed her hand over Baoyu’s heart and cried, “How could you do such a thing? Kill me first!” Baoyu said, “Do not be afraid. I shall take out my heart and show it to you.” He kept clawing wildly at the wound.，，。Trembling and weeping, and fearful that someone might come upon them, Daiyu clasped Baoyu in her arms and sobbed bitterly.：“，，。”，，。Baoyu said, “It is no use—my heart is gone. I cannot live.” As he spoke, his eyes rolled upward and he fell to the floor with a thud.。Daiyu screamed and wept with all her might.：“，，？Then she heard Zijuan calling, “Miss! Miss! Are you trapped in a nightmare?。”，。Wake up quickly, undress, and go properly to sleep.” Daiyu turned over and discovered that it had all been a dreadful dream.

不知不觉，只见小丫头走来说道：“外面雨村贾老爷请姑娘。”黛玉道：“我虽跟他读过书，却不比男学生，要见我作什么？况且他和舅舅往来，从未提起，我也不便见的。”因叫小丫头：“回复‘身上有病不能出来’，与我请安道谢就是了。”小丫头道：“只怕要与姑娘道喜，南京还有人来接。”说著，又见凤姐同邢夫人，王夫人，宝钗等都来笑道：“我们一来道喜，二来送行。”黛玉慌道：“你们说什么话？”凤姐道：“你还装什么呆。你难道不知道林姑爷升了湖北的粮道，娶了一位继母，十分合心合意。如今想著你撂在这里，不成事体，因托了贾雨村作媒，将你许了你继母的什么亲戚，还说是续弦，所以著人到这里来接你回去。大约一到家中就要过去的，都是你继母作主。怕的是道儿上没有照应，还叫你琏二哥哥送去。”说得黛玉一身冷汗。黛玉又恍惚父亲果在那里做官的样子，心上急著硬说道：“没有的事，都是凤姐姐混闹。”只见邢夫人向王夫人使个眼色儿，”他还不信呢，咱们走罢。”黛玉含著泪道：“二位舅母坐坐去。”众人不言语，都冷笑而去。黛玉此时心中干急，又说不出来，哽哽咽咽。恍惚又是和贾母在一处的似的，心中想道：“此事惟求老太太，或还可救。”于是两腿跪下去，抱著贾母的腰说道：“老太太救我！我南边是死也不去的！况且有了继母，又不是我的亲娘。我是情愿跟著老太太一块儿的。”但见老太太呆著脸儿笑道：“这个不干我事。”黛玉哭道：“老太太，这是什么事呢。”老太太道：“续弦也好，倒多一副妆奁。”黛玉哭道：“我若在老太太跟前，决不使这里分外的闲钱，只求老太太救我。”贾母道：“不中用了。做了女人，终是要出嫁的，你孩子家，不知道，在此地终非了局。”黛玉道：“我在这里情愿自己做个奴婢过活，自做自吃，也是愿意。只求老太太作主。”老太太总不言语。黛玉抱著贾母的腰哭道：“老太太，你向来最是慈悲的，又最疼我的，到了紧急的时候怎么全不管！不要说我是你的外孙女儿，是隔了一层了，我的娘是你的亲生女儿，看我娘分上，也该护庇些。”说著，撞在怀里痛哭，听见贾母道：“鸳鸯，你来送姑娘出去歇歇。我倒被他闹乏了。”黛玉情知不是路了，求去无用，不如寻个自尽，站起来往外就走。深痛自己没有亲娘，便是外祖母与舅母姊妹们，平时何等待的好，可见都是假的。又一想：“今日怎么独不见宝玉？或见一面，看他还有法儿？”便见宝玉站在面前，笑嘻嘻地说：“妹妹大喜呀。”黛玉听了这一句话，越发急了，也顾不得什么了，把宝玉紧紧拉住说：“好，宝玉，我今日才知道你是个无情无义的人了。”宝玉道：“我怎么无情无义？你既有了人家儿，咱们各自干各自的了。”黛玉越听越气，越没了主意，只得拉著宝玉哭道：“好哥哥，你叫我跟了谁去？”宝玉道：“你要不去，就在这里住著。你原是许了我的，所以你才到我们这里来。我待你是怎么样的，你也想想。”黛玉恍惚又象果曾许过宝玉的，心内忽又转悲作喜，问宝玉道：“我是死活打定主意的了。你到底叫我去不去？”宝玉道：“我说叫你住下。你不信我的话，你就瞧瞧我的心。”说著，就拿著一把小刀子往胸口上一划，只见鲜血直流。黛玉吓得魂飞魄散，忙用手握著宝玉的心窝，哭道：“你怎么做出这个事来，你先来杀了我罢！”宝玉道：“不怕，我拿我的心给你瞧。”还把手在划开的地方儿乱抓。黛玉又颤又哭，又怕人撞破，抱住宝玉痛哭。宝玉道：“不好了，我的心没有了，活不得了。”说著，眼睛往上一翻，咕咚就倒了。黛玉拼命放声大哭。只听见紫鹃叫道：“姑娘，姑娘，怎么魇住了？快醒醒儿脱了衣服睡罢。”黛玉一翻身，却原来是一场恶梦。

，，，，。Her throat was still choked with sobs and her heart was still pounding; the pillow was soaked through, and her shoulders, back, body, and heart all felt icy cold.，“，，？”，，，！After thinking awhile, she said to herself, “Father has been dead for years, and nothing has yet been settled between Baoyu and me. How could any of this have arisen?” Then she recalled the scenes in her dream: she had been utterly helpless and alone—and if Baoyu truly died, what could she possibly do?，。As the first shock subsided and she brooded over the pain, both mind and spirit fell into confusion.，，，，，。She wept awhile longer until a faint sweat broke out over her whole body; then, struggling up, she removed her outer padded jacket, had Zijuan tuck the covers securely around her, and lay down again.，。She tossed and turned, quite unable to sleep.，，。Outside she heard a soft rustling and pattering, like the sound of wind and yet like rain.，，，。After another pause she heard a distant wheezing sound; it was Zijuan, who had fallen asleep there, breathing in and out through her nose.，。Daiyu struggled up by herself and sat wrapped in the quilt for a while.，，。Feeling a thread of cold air seep through a crack in the window and make every hair stand on end, she lay down again.，，，。Just as she was drifting off, she heard an unknown number of sparrows in the bamboo, chirping and twittering without cease.，，。Through the lattice, the paper on the window gradually began to admit the pale light of dawn.

，，。By now Daiyu was fully awake, her eyes shining brightly. Presently she began to cough, and her coughing woke Zijuan as well.：“，？Zijuan said, “Miss, have you still not fallen asleep?，。You have started coughing again; perhaps you caught a chill.，。The window paper is turning pale now, and it will soon be broad daylight.，，。”：“，。Try to rest and restore your spirits. Do not keep fretting over one thing and another.” Daiyu said, “It is not that I do not want to sleep; I simply cannot.。”。Go back to sleep yourself.” After saying this, she began coughing again.，，。Seeing Daiyu in such a state, Zijuan too felt heartsick and could no longer sleep.，，。When she heard Daiyu cough again, she hurriedly rose and held out the sputum box.。By then day had dawned.：“？”：“，。”：“，。”，，，，，，。Daiyu said, “Are you not going back to sleep?” Zijuan smiled. “It is already daylight—what would be the point?” Daiyu said, “In that case, change the sputum box for me.” Zijuan assented and hurried out to fetch a clean one. She set the box in her hands on the table, opened the door to the outer room and went through, closed it behind her as before, lowered the flowered soft curtain, and went out to wake Xueyan.，，，，：“，！”，，：“，。”：“？”：“。”，，，。When she opened the outer door to empty the box, she saw it was full of sputum speckled heavily with blood. Zijuan gave a start and involuntarily cried out, “Ai-yo! This is dreadful!” Daiyu called from inside to ask what was wrong. Knowing that she had let the truth slip, Zijuan hastily replied, “My hand slipped, and I nearly dropped the sputum box.” Daiyu said, “Was there not something wrong with the sputum in it?” Zijuan said, “There was nothing.” But as she spoke, grief rose in her heart; tears streamed down her face, and her voice had already broken.，，，，，：“，。”，，。Daiyu had tasted something sweet and fishy in her throat and had already begun to suspect. She had just heard Zijuan’s startled cry outside, and now Zijuan’s voice sounded full of misery; she understood eight or nine parts of the truth. She called, “Come inside, Zijuan. You will catch cold out there.” Zijuan answered, and this reply sounded still more wretched than the first, thick with suppressed sobbing.，。Hearing it, Daiyu’s heart went half cold.，。When Zijuan pushed open the door and entered, she was still wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.：“，？”：“，。Daiyu said, “Why are you crying so early in the morning, when everything is perfectly well?” Forcing a smile, Zijuan answered, “Who is crying? My eyes were merely a little uncomfortable when I got up.，。”：“，，。”：“，，。You must have spent more of the night awake than usual, Miss; I heard you coughing for half the night.” Daiyu said, “Indeed I did. The more I tried to sleep, the less I could.” Zijuan said, “You are not in very good health, Miss. If you ask me, you must try harder to take things lightly.，，‘，。’，，。”，。Health is the foundation of everything. As the saying goes, ‘While the green hills remain, there will still be firewood to burn.’ Besides, from the Old Lady and Lady Wang downward, who here does not cherish you?” This one remark brought Daiyu’s dream flooding back.，，，，，。She felt a blow at her heart, darkness covered her eyes, and her whole expression changed. Zijuan hurriedly held out the sputum box while Xueyan thumped her back; only after a long while did she bring up a mouthful of sputum.，。In it a thread of dark-purple blood quivered convulsively.。Zijuan’s and Xueyan’s faces turned yellow with fright.，。The two stood guard beside her as Daiyu sank back in a stupor.，。Seeing that matters looked grave, Zijuan promptly signaled with her lips for Xueyan to go and summon someone.

，，，，。Now Tanchun and Xiangyun were in Xichun’s quarters, passing judgment on Xichun’s painting of the Prospect Garden—saying that this part had a little too much, that part a little too little, this place was too sparse, and that one too crowded.，。They were also discussing what poem should be inscribed on it and sent someone to invite Daiyu to join their deliberations.，，。While they were still talking, Cuilü and Cuimo suddenly returned, looking flustered.：“？”：“，。Xiangyun was the first to ask, “Why is Miss Lin not coming?” Cuilü said, “Miss Lin’s illness returned last night, and she coughed all night.，。”：“？”：“。”：“，，。”：“，。”：“，……”。We heard Xueyan say she brought up a whole boxful of bloody sputum.” Startled, Tanchun said, “Is that really true?” Cuilü replied, “Why would it not be?” Cuimo said, “We have just been in to see her. Her complexion is dreadful, and she scarcely has the strength to speak.” Xiangyun said, “If she were as ill as all that, how could she still speak?” Tanchun said, “How can you be so foolish? If she could not speak, would she not already be—” At this point she choked off the words.：“，，。Xichun said, “For someone as intelligent as Cousin Lin, I think she has always been unable to see beyond things; she takes every tiny matter completely to heart.。”：“，。How many things in this world are really true?” Tanchun said, “In that case, let us all go and see her.，，，。”：“。”：“，。”，。If she is seriously ill, we can tell Sister-in-law Li and have her report to the Old Lady, so that a physician may be summoned to examine her and advise us what to do.” Xiangyun said, “Exactly.” Xichun said, “You two go ahead; I shall come over later.” So Tanchun and Xiangyun, each supported by a young maid, went to the Xiaoxiang Lodge.，，。When they entered the room, Daiyu could not help feeling sorrowful again at the sight of them.，，。Then her thoughts turned once more to her dream: if even the Old Lady could treat her so, what could she expect of these two?，。Besides, if I had not invited them, they would not have come at all.，，，。Though these were her thoughts, courtesy would not allow her to show them. She had no choice but to make Zijuan help her sit up, and she invited them to be seated.，。Tanchun and Xiangyun sat on either side of her on the edge of the bed.，。Seeing Daiyu in such a state, they too felt grieved.：“？”：“，。”。Tanchun said, “Why are you unwell again, Cousin?” Daiyu replied, “It is nothing serious; I simply feel very weak.” Standing behind Daiyu, Zijuan secretly pointed at the sputum box.，，。Xiangyun was young, after all, and naturally forthright; she reached out at once, picked up the sputum box, and looked inside.，，：“？One glance was enough to fill her with alarm and consternation. “Did you bring this up, Cousin?！”，，，，。This is dreadful!” Daiyu had been dazed when she coughed it up and had not looked closely; now, hearing Xiangyun’s words, she turned to look, and half her life seemed to drain from her.，：“，，。Seeing how tactlessly Xiangyun had spoken, Tanchun hastily explained, “It is only the fire in her lungs flaring upward. Bringing up a tiny trace of blood with it is quite common.，，！”，。But this girl Yun makes a terrible fuss over absolutely everything!” Xiangyun blushed, regretting her careless words.，，：“，。”：“。”，。Seeing that Daiyu’s spirits were failing and that she seemed weary and distressed, Tanchun quickly rose and said, “Rest quietly and recover your strength, Cousin. We shall come back to see you later.” Daiyu said, “It is kind of you both to be concerned.” Tanchun again charged Zijuan to take the greatest care in attending her mistress, and Zijuan promised she would.，。Tanchun was just about to leave when someone outside suddenly began shouting.，。Who it was remains to be told in the next chapter.

且说探春湘云正在惜春那边论评惜春所画大观园图，说这个多一点，那个少一点，这个太疏，那个太密。大家又议著题诗，著人去请黛玉商议。正说著，忽见翠缕翠墨二人回来，神色匆忙。湘云便先问道：“林姑娘怎么不来？”翠缕道：“林姑娘昨日夜里又犯了病了，咳嗽了一夜。我们听见雪雁说，吐了一盒子痰血。”探春听了诧异道：“这话真么？”翠缕道：“怎么不真。”翠墨道：“我们刚才进去去瞧了瞧，颜色不成颜色，说话儿的气力儿都微了。”湘云道：“不好的这么著，怎么还能说话呢。”探春道：“怎么你这么糊涂，不能说话不是已经……”说到这里却咽住了。惜春道：“林姐姐那样一个聪明人，我看他总有些瞧不破，一点半点儿都要认起真来。天下事那里有多少真的呢。”探春道：“既这么著，咱们都过去看看。倘若病的利害，咱们好过去告诉大嫂子回老太太，传大夫进来瞧瞧，也得个主意。”湘云道：“正是这样。”惜春道：“姐姐们先去，我回来再过去。”于是探春湘云扶了小丫头，都到潇湘馆来。进入房中，黛玉见他二人，不免又伤心起来。因又转念想起梦中，连老太太尚且如此，何况他们。况且我不请他们，他们还不来呢。心里虽是如此，脸上却碍不过去，只得勉强令紫鹃扶起，口中让坐。探春湘云都坐在床沿上，一头一个。看了黛玉这般光景，也自伤感。探春便道：“姐姐怎么身上又不舒服了？”黛玉道：“也没什么要紧，只是身子软得很。”紫鹃在黛玉身后偷偷的用手指那痰盒儿。湘云到底年轻，性情又兼直爽，伸手便把痰盒拿起来看。不看则已，看了唬的惊疑不止，说：“这是姐姐吐的？这还了得！”初时黛玉昏昏沉沉，吐了也没细看，此时见湘云这么说，回头看时，自己早已灰了一半。探春见湘云冒失，连忙解说道：“这不过是肺火上炎，带出一半点来，也是常事。偏是云丫头，不拘什么，就这样蝎蝎螫螫的！”湘云红了脸，自悔失言。探春见黛玉精神短少，似有烦倦之意，连忙起身说道：“姐姐静静的养养神罢，我们回来再瞧你。”黛玉道：“累你两位惦著。”探春又嘱咐紫鹃好生留神伏侍姑娘，紫鹃答应著。探春才要走，只听外面一个人嚷起来。未知是谁，下回分解。

What it’s about

At school Jia Dairu lectures on classical learning, moral cultivation and the duties that examination candidates are supposed to embody. Baoyu can answer intelligently when pressed, yet his attention and values remain divided; the old scholar's exposition warns the 'wayward heart' by translating family pressure into orthodox doctrine. The lesson matters less as a sudden conversion than as evidence that the household is trying to redirect Baoyu from the garden's emotional world toward an official career.

Daiyu's illness and insecurity intensify at the Naiad's House after an old woman's indiscreet marriage talk unsettles her. She then dreams that her long-dead father, Lin Ruhai, has been promoted, remarried, and arranged through Jia Yucun to remove her from the Jia household and marry her elsewhere; appeals to her grandmother and Baoyu fail, and in the dream Baoyu tears out his heart to prove his feeling. She wakes in panic, coughing and spitting blood, while Zijuan and others struggle to calm her. The nightmare turns her real dependence on family decisions into bodily catastrophe before any marriage plan is openly announced to her.

When it was written 背景

The chapter places two forms of instruction side by side. Jia Dairu uses canonical texts to prescribe Baoyu's place in the patrilineal order, whereas Daiyu's dream teaches her what that order could do to an orphaned young woman who has no parent present to negotiate for her. Dream imagery belongs to the novel from its opening, but here it works less as an elaborate cosmic revelation than as psychological and narrative warning. The heart torn from Baoyu's body literalizes a familiar language of sincerity; its failure to reassure Daiyu anticipates how signs of private feeling will be overwhelmed by decisions made through kinship, secrecy and supposedly practical care.
