第九十四回　宴海棠賈母賞花妖　失寶玉通靈知奇禍 At a Crab-Apple Feast the Dowager Sees an Ill Omen; The Loss of the Jade Foretells Disaster

，，。The story goes that Lai Da took Jia Qin away with him, and nothing happened all night; they quietly waited for Jia Zheng to return.，，，。As for the nuns and Daoist women who had been brought back into the Garden, they were overjoyed beyond measure, wanting to go about looking at all the various places, since tomorrow they were to be made ready to enter the palace.，，。Unexpectedly, Lai Da instructed the old women and young servants who kept watch over the courtyards to guard them closely; though they were given food and drink, they were not permitted to stir a single step outside.，。Those girls could make no sense of it, and had no choice but to sit and wait until daybreak.，。The maids throughout the Garden all knew that the nuns had been brought in to be made ready for service in the palace, but none of them could fathom the full particulars.

，，，，：“，。The next morning, just as Jia Zheng was about to go off duty, the office sent down the account books of the two provincial construction projects which had to be checked and verified at once, so that he could not get home for a while; he therefore sent someone to tell Jia Lian, saying: "When Lai Da comes back, you must be sure to question him thoroughly and get to the bottom of it.，。”，，：，，”，，。”，，：“，。"Handle it however it ought to be handled, and there is no need to wait for me." Having received this order, Jia Lian first felt glad on Qin'er's behalf, and then thought to himself: "If this is handled so that there is not the slightest trace left of it, I fear Father will grow suspicious after all; better to report to Aunt Wang and get her instructions on how to proceed — even if it does not suit Father's wishes exactly, at least I won't bear so much of the responsibility myself." His mind made up, he went inside to see Lady Wang and reported to her: "Yesterday when Father saw the placard he grew angry, and had Qin'er and the nuns and Daoist women all summoned into the mansion for investigation.，，。"Today Father has no time to deal with such an unseemly matter, and has sent me to report to you, Aunt, so that it may be handled however you see fit.，？”，：“！"That is why I have come to ask your instructions — how should this matter be dealt with?" When Lady Wang heard this she said in astonishment: "What is this you're telling me!，！"If Qin'er has really gone and behaved like this, can he still be counted a member of our family!，。"But whoever put up that placard is detestable too — how can such things be said so recklessly, out of nowhere?？”：“。"Did you actually ask Qin'er whether there was any such matter or not?" Jia Lian said: "I just asked him a moment ago.，，，？"Consider, Aunt: never mind whether he really did it or not — even if he had done it, would anyone who had done such a disgraceful thing be willing to admit to it himself?，，，？"But I think Qin'er would hardly dare do such a thing; I do know that those girls were all ones the Imperial Consort might at any time wish to summon, and if it should ever come to a scandal, what then?，，，？”：“？”：“。”：“？”：“，。”：“。"To my nephew's mind, it would not be hard to look into it if we wished, but if it were looked into and something did turn up, Aunt, what would you do about it then?" Lady Wang said: "Where are those girls now?" Jia Lian said: "They are all locked up in the Garden." Lady Wang said: "Do the young ladies know of it?" Jia Lian said: "I believe the young ladies too have all heard that they are being made ready for the palace; nothing else has been mentioned outside." Lady Wang said: "Very well.。"These creatures cannot be kept here even a moment longer.，，。"Earlier I had actually meant to send them away, but all of you said it would be better to keep them — and now see, hasn't trouble come of it after all.，，，，，，，。"You must have Lai Da and the others take them away; question them carefully as to whether they have any family of their own, look up their papers, spend a few tens of taels of silver, hire a boat, and send a reliable person to escort them back to their native places; return their papers to them along with everything else, and be done with the matter without further trouble.，，。"If, for the sake of one or two who behaved badly, we were to force every single one of them back into secular life against her will, that would be far too great a sin to commit.，，，。"And if we were to hand them over here to the official brokers, even though we ourselves would ask no price for them, they would only sell them off for money, and who would care then whether they lived or died?，。"As for Qin'er, you are to give him a thorough scolding.，，，。"Except for ancestral rites and happy occasions, tell him he need not come here at all when there is no business — mind he does not carelessly run into Father while Father is in a temper, or he'll find himself in more trouble than he can handle.，。"Also tell the accounting office to close out this item of funds and provisions.，：，，。"And send someone to Water Moon Priory to convey Father's instruction: aside from visits to sweep graves and burn paper offerings, if any of the young men of the family go there, they are not to be received.，。”"And if there should be even the slightest further breath of scandal, the old nun herself is to be driven out along with the rest."

，，，，，，，。Now to speak of Zijuan: since Daiyu was gradually recovering, and there was nothing to do in the Garden, hearing that the nuns and the rest were being made ready for service in the palace but not knowing quite why, she went over to the Old Lady's quarters to ask about it, and happened to meet Yuanyang coming down; being at leisure, they sat down for a chat, and the subject of the nuns came up.：“，。”，，。Yuanyang said in surprise: "I haven't heard anything about it myself; I'll ask Second Mistress when I get back and then I'll know." Just as they were speaking, two women sent from the Fu family arrived to pay their respects to the Old Lady, and Yuanyang meant to go up and attend on them.，。But since the Old Lady was just then having her midday nap, the two women simply left word with Yuanyang and went back.：“？”：“。Zijuan asked: "Whose house sent them?" Yuanyang said: "They're thoroughly tiresome, those two.，，，，，，，，，。"Their family has one girl who's rather good-looking, and they carry on as though showing off some treasure, forever praising to the Old Lady's face how fine their young lady looks, how good her heart is, how accomplished she is in manners, how clever and quick her speech, how deft her hands at needlework, how she can both write and reckon accounts, how most filial she is toward her elders — and even toward the servants she is said to be perfectly gentle and fair.，。"Every time they come they spin out this whole long tale, and are forever telling it to the Old Lady.。"I get quite weary listening to it.。"These old women are truly tiresome.。"But our Old Lady, of all things, loves to hear such talk.，，，。"It's not just the Old Lady, either — there's Baoyu too: ordinarily when he sees old women he finds them quite tiresome, and yet when he sees the old women from that family, he doesn't find them tiresome at all.！"Isn't that strange, wouldn't you say!，，，。"Just the other day they came again and said that their young lady presently has any number of families seeking her hand, but their old master won't consent to any of them — he has his heart set on making a match only with a family such as ours.，，。”，：“，？”，：“。”。"First they praise her to the skies, then they flatter and flatter, until they've quite won the Old Lady's heart over." Zijuan, hearing this, was struck dumb for a moment, then said, feigning idle curiosity: "If the Old Lady is so pleased with her, why doesn't she simply settle the match with Baoyu at once?" Yuanyang was just about to explain the reason when word came from above: "The Old Lady is awake." Yuanyang hurried up at once.

，。Zijuan had no choice but to rise and take her leave, returning to the Garden.，：“，，。As she walked along she thought to herself: "Is Baoyu the only man under heaven? You want him, and she wants him too.，，。"Our own young lady has grown ever more infatuated of late; judging by her manner, her heart is fixed on Baoyu without a doubt.，！"All her repeated bouts of illness these past times — what else could they be for, if not this!，，。"In this household the matter of the gold and the jade is tangled enough as it is; if on top of that some Miss Fu or other is added in, it will be even more impossible to sort out.，。"And as I see it, Baoyu's heart is fixed on our young lady too — yet to judge by what Yuanyang says, he seems to be one who loves whomever he happens to see before him.？”，，，。"Won't our young lady simply have worried herself sick over him for nothing, then?" Zijuan had originally been thinking of Daiyu's own case, but as she thought further along these lines, she found she could no longer make sense of anything even for herself, and could not help but shed a few tears.，，，。She wanted to tell Daiyu not to trouble her mind over such idle worry, yet feared it would only distress her; but then, seeing Daiyu in such a state as she was, it was pitiful to watch too.，，：“！Turning the matter over and over in her mind, she grew restless, and finally spat at herself in exasperation: "What business have you got worrying yourself sick on someone else's account!，。"Even supposing Miss Lin truly were matched with Baoyu, her temperament being what it is, she would still be hard enough to wait upon.，。"Baoyu's disposition, good as it is, is still one that craves more than it can ever properly digest.，。"Here I am urging others not to fret needlessly, when it's I myself who am the one fretting needlessly.，，！”，。"From now on, I shall simply devote my whole heart to waiting upon my young lady, and trouble myself no further about anything else!" With this thought, her mind felt clear and at ease again.，，。When she got back to Bamboo Lodge, she found Daiyu sitting alone on the kang, sorting through the poems and lyrics she had written in years past.，：“？”：“。”：“？”：“。”，，，：“！Looking up and seeing Zijuan come in, she asked: "Where have you been?" Zijuan said: "I went to look in on the young ladies today." Daiyu said: "Off to find Sister Xiren, I suppose?" Zijuan said: "What would I want with her?" Daiyu, reflecting on how the remark had slipped out so readily, felt rather embarrassed herself, and spat out: "What's it to me whom you go looking for!。”"Go and pour the tea."

，。Zijuan too laughed secretly to herself, and went out to pour the tea.，，，。Just then they heard a great commotion of voices in the Garden, one after another; not knowing what it was about, Zijuan poured the tea while sending someone out to find out.：“，。The servant came back and said: "Several of the begonias in Happy Red Court had withered, and no one had been tending them.，。"Yesterday Baoyu went by and thought he saw what looked like buds forming on the branches.，。"No one believed it, and no one paid it any mind.，，。"But today the begonias have suddenly bloomed most splendidly, and everyone is amazed, all crowding to go and see them.，，，。”，，，，”，。”，：“，，。”，，。"Even the Old Lady and Her Ladyship have been drawn out to look at the flowers, and so the Eldest Mistress has had people clearing away the withered leaves and dead branches in the Garden, which is why everyone is being called out there." Daiyu heard this too, and knowing the Old Lady was coming, changed her clothes and sent Xueyan to find out more, saying: "If the Old Lady has arrived, come and tell me at once." Before long Xueyan came running back and said: "The Old Lady, Her Ladyship, and a good many others have all arrived; please, Miss, go over there now." Daiyu glanced briefly at herself in the mirror, smoothed her hair at the temples, and then, leaning on Zijuan's arm, made her way to Happy Red Court.，：“。”，，，，，。There she found the Old Lady already seated on the couch where Baoyu usually lay; Daiyu said: "I pay my respects to the Old Ancestress." Then, stepping back, she greeted Lady Xing and Lady Wang, and turning around exchanged greetings with Li Wan, Tanchun, Xichun, and Xing Xiuyan.，，，，，：。Only Xifeng was absent on account of illness; Shi Xiangyun had been fetched home by her uncle, who had been transferred back to the capital; Xue Baoqin had gone to stay at her sister's home; and the Li sisters, seeing how much trouble there had been of late in the Garden, had been taken by their Aunt Li to live outside — so that today Daiyu found only a handful of people gathered there.，。Everyone talked and laughed together for a while, marveling at how strangely the flowers had bloomed.：“，，，，，。”：“，。The Old Lady said: "These flowers ought properly to bloom in the third month; though it is now the eleventh month, since the solar terms have run late, it may still be reckoned as the tenth month, corresponding to the weather of a 'little springtime in winter' — it is quite possible for the flowers to bloom on account of the mild warmth." Lady Wang said: "The Old Ancestress has seen so much of the world, what she says must be right.。”：“，，。”：“。"It is nothing so very strange after all." Lady Xing said: "I heard that this shrub has already been withered a whole year; why should it suddenly bloom out of season like this now — there must be some reason behind it." Li Wan said with a smile: "What the Old Ancestress and Her Ladyship say is quite right.，，。”，：“。"But to my own foolish way of thinking, it must be that some happy event is coming to Baoyu, and this flower has come ahead of time to bring the news." Tanchun said nothing, but thought to herself: "This flower can hardly be a good omen.，。"As a general rule, what follows its proper course flourishes, and what goes against it perishes.，，。”。"For a plant to sense the turning of fortune and burst into bloom out of its season — this must surely be an uncanny, ill omen." But she did not care to say so aloud.，，：“，，。Daiyu alone, hearing it called a happy omen, felt something stir within her, and said cheerfully: "Long ago there was a family named Tian that had a single thorn-tree; when the three brothers divided the family property, that thorn-tree withered away.，。"Later, once it had moved the brothers to remain together after all, the thorn-tree flourished again as before.。"From this we may know that plants and trees follow the fortunes of people too.，，。”，：“，。”，，，，。"Now that Second Brother has taken earnestly to his studies, and Uncle is pleased with him, that tree too has burst into bloom." The Old Lady and Lady Wang were both delighted to hear this, and said: "What Miss Lin says makes good sense — very well put indeed." Just as they were speaking, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan all came in to see the flowers.：“，，。”：“，。Jia She said: "To my mind, it ought to be cut down — this must be some flower-spirit up to mischief." Jia Zheng said: "Regard a strange thing as not strange, and its strangeness will fade of itself.，。”，：“！"There's no need to cut it down; just let it be." When the Old Lady heard this she said: "Who's talking such nonsense here!，。"When people have something happy and good happening to them, what's all this talk of spirits and strangeness?，，，。"If it bodes well, all of you may share in the good fortune; if it bodes ill, I alone will bear the consequences.。”，，。"None of you are to talk such nonsense." On hearing this, Jia Zheng dared not say another word, and withdrew rather sheepishly together with Jia She and the others.

紫鹃也心里暗笑，出来倒茶。只听见园里的一叠声乱嚷，不知何故，一面倒茶，一面叫人去打听。回来说道：“怡红院里的海棠本来萎了几棵，也没人去浇灌他。昨日宝玉走去，瞧见枝头上好象有了骨朵儿似的。人都不信，没有理他。忽然今日开得很好的海棠花，众人诧异，都争著去看。连老太太，太太都哄动了来瞧花儿呢，所以大奶奶叫人收拾园里败叶枯枝，这些人在那里传唤。”黛玉也听见了，知道老太太来，便更了衣，叫雪雁去打听，”若是老太太来了，即来告诉我。”雪雁去不多时，便跑来说：“老太太，太太好些人都来了，请姑娘就去罢。”黛玉略自照了一照镜子，掠了一掠鬓发，便扶著紫鹃到怡红院来。已见老太太坐在宝玉常卧的榻上，黛玉便说道：“请老太太安。”退后，便见了邢王二夫人，回来与李纨，探春，惜春，邢岫烟彼此问了好。只有凤姐因病未来，史湘云因他叔叔调任回京，接了家去，薛宝琴跟他姐姐家去住了，李家姐妹因见园内多事，李婶娘带了在外居住：所以黛玉今日见的只有数人。大家说笑了一回，讲究这花开得古怪。贾母道：“这花儿应在三月里开的，如今虽是十一月，因节气迟，还算十月，应著小阳春的天气，这花开因为和暖是有的。”王夫人道：“老太太见的多，说得是。也不为奇。”邢夫人道：“我听见这花已经萎了一年，怎么这回不应时候儿开了，必有个原故。”李纨笑道：“老太太与太太说得都是。据我的糊涂想头，必是宝玉有喜事来了，此花先来报信。”探春虽不言语，心内想：“此花必非好兆。大凡顺者昌，逆者亡。草木知运，不时而发，必是妖孽。”只不好说出来。独有黛玉听说是喜事，心里触动，便高兴说道：“当初田家有荆树一棵，三个弟兄因分了家，那荆树便枯了。后来感动了他弟兄们仍旧在一处，那荆树也就荣了。可知草木也随人的。如今二哥哥认真念书，舅舅喜欢，那棵树也就发了。”贾母王夫人听了喜欢，便说：“林姑娘比方得有理，很有意思。”正说著，贾赦，贾政，贾环，贾兰都进来看花。贾赦便说：“据我的主意，把他砍去，必是花妖作怪。”贾政道：“见怪不怪，其怪自败。不用砍他，随他去就是了。”贾母听见，便说：“谁在这里混说！人家有喜事好处，什么怪不怪的。若有好事，你们享去，若是不好，我一个人当去。你们不许混说。”贾政听了，不敢言语，讪讪的同贾赦等走了出来。

，？Why did the begonia so suddenly wither and fade — why today has it burst into such lavish bloom?

，。It must be that the Northern Hall's longevity is on the increase, that the turning yang has come round again ahead of the plum.

：Jia Huan too had written something, and read it aloud:

，。When plants and trees meet spring they should sprout and grow; the begonia failed to bloom then, its season gone awry.

，。Of all the wondrous things there are under heaven, in the eleventh month only our house has flowers in bloom.

，，：Jia Lan copied his out neatly in formal script and presented it to the Old Lady, who bade Li Wan read it aloud:

，。Mist-wrapped, its charming color withered before spring; now, damp with frost, its faint red opens after the snow.

，。Do not say this flower lacks understanding — its joyous flourishing comes early to grace the cup of reunion.

，：“，，。When the Old Lady had heard them all, she said: "I don't understand poetry very well myself, but to my ear Lan'er's is the best, and Huan'er's is not so good.。”，。"Come, everyone, let's go and eat." Seeing how pleased the Old Lady was, Baoyu grew even more elated.：“，，。Then it occurred to him: "The year Qingwen died was the very year this begonia died too; now that the begonia has come back to bloom again, surely everyone in our courtyard will fare well from now on.。”。"But Qingwen cannot be like the flower, dying and then coming back to life again." All at once his joy turned to sorrow.，，，，。Then he suddenly remembered how, a few days before, Qiaojie had mentioned that Xifeng meant to bring Wu'er in to fill a vacant place — perhaps, who could say, this flower had bloomed on her account — and with that thought his sorrow turned back to joy again, and he went on talking and laughing as before.

，，，，，，，。Now to tell of that day: Baoyu had originally been resting at home in a fur-lined robe that wrapped all the way round, but on seeing the flowers in bloom, he kept coming out to look at them again and again, to admire them, to sigh over them, to delight in them, until all the countless griefs and joys, partings and reunions in his heart had somehow fastened themselves upon this one flowering shrub.，，，。Then, hearing suddenly that the Old Lady was coming, he went and changed into a fox-fur archer's jacket, over which he threw a black-fox-trimmed overcoat, and came out to receive her.，。In the haste of changing his clothes, he forgot to put the Numinous Jade of Understanding back on.，。1. By the time Grandmother Jia had gone, it was time to change clothes again.，：“？”：“，，。”，，，。2. Xiren, seeing nothing hanging from Baoyu's neck, asked, "Where's that jade?" Baoyu said, "Just now, in the flurry of changing clothes, I took it off and set it on the kang table—I didn't put it on." Xiren looked back at the table and saw no jade there at all; she searched everywhere, but there was not a trace of it, and she broke out in a cold sweat all over.：“，。3. Baoyu said, "No need to fret—it can't help but be somewhere in the room.。”，：“，。4. Just ask them and you'll know." Xiren, assuming that Sheyue and the others had hidden it to give him a fright in fun, said to Sheyue and the others with a smile, "You little wretches, there's a proper way to joke around.？5. Where have you hidden the thing?，。”：“！6. Don't really lose it—if you do, none of us will be able to go on living." Sheyue and the others said in all seriousness, "What kind of talk is this!，，。7. A joke is a joke and this matter is no child's play—you'd better not talk nonsense.，，。8. You've muddled your own wits—think it over, think where you put it down.。”，，：“，？”：“，。”，，，。9. Now you're going and slandering people for nothing." Seeing this manner of theirs, Xiren felt it did not look like joking, and grew anxious, saying, "Heaven and all the Bodhisattvas, little ancestor, where in the world did you set it down?" Baoyu said, "I distinctly remember putting it on the kang table—you all had better search, and be quick about it." Xiren, Sheyue, Qiuwen and the others dared not let anyone else know, and secretly searched everywhere among themselves.，，，，，。10. They fussed about for the better part of a day with not the slightest trace of it, even overturning trunks and baskets, and truly having nowhere left to search, they began to suspect that among the people who had come in just now, someone unknown had picked it up.：“，。11. Xiren said, "Of everyone who came in, who doesn't know this jade is treated like a life itself—who would dare pick it up.，。12. Whatever you do, don't make a stir about it yet—go quickly and ask around everywhere.，，，，。13. If one of the sisters picked it up meaning to give us a fright in fun, kowtow to her and beg it back; if some young maid stole it, once it's found out don't report it above—no matter what is given to trade it back, that will do.，，。”，：“，，。”，，。14. This is no small matter—if this is truly lost, it's worse by far than losing Master Bao himself." Just as Sheyue and Qiuwen were about to go out, Xiren ran out after them again to caution them, "Don't go asking first among those who were eating in here earlier—if the search comes to nothing and it stirs up more trouble, that would be even worse." Sheyue and the others followed these words and went off in different directions to inquire everywhere, but no one knew anything, and everyone was alarmed and puzzled.，，。15. When Sheyue and the others came back, they all stood dumbstruck, staring blankly at one another.。16. Baoyu too was frightened out of his wits.。17. Xiren, in her distress, could only cry without tears.，，。18. There was nowhere left to search, and yet they dared not report it upward; everyone in Yihong Yuan was frightened stiff as if carved of wood or molded of clay.

，。19. Just as everyone stood there dazed, all those who had heard of it from every quarter came pouring in.，，，：，。20. Tanchun ordered the garden gates shut, first had an old woman take two maids to go searching everywhere yet again, and at the same time had word passed to everyone: whoever found it would be richly rewarded in silver.，，，。21. Everyone, first wanting to clear themselves of blame, and second hearing of the rich reward, searched recklessly all over without regard for anything, even searching as far as the privies.，，。22. Who would have thought that jade seemed like a needle dropped in the sea—search as they might for a whole day, there was not the slightest trace of it.，：“，。”：“？”：“，。23. Li Wan, growing anxious, said, "This is no laughing matter—I'm going to say something rather rude." Everyone said, "What is it?" Li Wan said, "Things having come to this pass, there's no more room for courtesy.，，，，，。24. Right now in the garden, apart from Baoyu, everyone is a woman—I must ask each of you elder and younger sisters, and the young ladies, to have the maids who came with you take off their clothes so we can all search them.，。”：“。25. If nothing turns up, then have the maids go and search those old women and the maids who do the rough work." Everyone said, "That's reasonable enough.，，，。”。26. Right now there are too many hands and too much confusion, fish and dragons all mixed together—doing it this way will also clear your own names." Tanchun alone said nothing.。27. Those maids, too, were all willing to clear themselves.，：“。”，。28. Pinger began first, saying, "Start the search with me." Thereupon each person undid her own clothing, and Li Wan searched through the whole lot without discrimination.：“，。29. Tanchun rebuked Li Wan, saying, "Sister-in-law, you too have picked up the manner of those good-for-nothings.，？30. If someone had really stolen it, would she still be willing to keep it on her person?，，，？31. Besides, this thing is a treasure in this household, but outside, to those who don't know what it is, it's a useless object—why would anyone steal it?。”，，，，。32. I think it must be that someone has played a spiteful trick." Hearing this, and also noting that Huan'er was not present—yesterday he had been running wild all through the rooms—everyone suspected him, only no one was willing to say so outright.：“。33. Tanchun went on, "The only one who plays spiteful tricks is Huan'er.，，，，。34. Send someone quietly to fetch him here, coax him privately, get him to hand it over, then give him a scare and tell him not to make a fuss about it.。”。35. That will settle the matter." Everyone nodded in agreement.

，：“。”，。54. Just as Li Wan was about to smooth things over, a maid came in and said, "Her Ladyship is here." At this, Xiren and the others had nowhere to hide themselves; Baoyu and the rest hurried out to receive her.，。55. Concubine Zhao, for the moment, dared not make another sound, and followed along outside.，，：“？”，，。56. Seeing that everyone wore a look of alarm, Lady Wang finally believed what she had just heard, and said, "Is that jade truly lost?" No one dared say a word; Lady Wang walked into the room and sat down, then called for Xiren.，。57. In a fright, Xiren hastily knelt down, tears welling as she prepared to report.：“，，。”。58. Lady Wang said, "Get up—quickly have people search carefully everywhere; flustering about like this will do no good." Xiren choked on her words and could not speak.，：“，。59. Fearing that Xiren might really blurt out the truth, Baoyu spoke up, "Mother, this has nothing to do with Xiren.，。”：“？”：“，。60. It was I who lost it on the road the other day, going to the Nan'an Prince's mansion to hear the opera." Lady Wang said, "Then why wasn't it looked for that day?"

Isn't it Xiren and the others who wait on you when you change your clothes these days.，，，，！”。63.

Baoyu had nothing to say in reply.，，：“，！”，：“，！”。64. Hearing this, Concubine Zhao grew pleased with herself and hastily cut in, "Something was lost outside, and still Huan'er gets the blame!" Before she had finished speaking, Lady Wang cut her off sharply, "Here we're discussing this matter, and you go on about your irrelevant business!" At that, Concubine Zhao dared say no more.，，，。65. It was Li Wan and Tanchun who finally told Lady Wang the whole truth from beginning to end; Lady Wang, too, grew so anxious that her tears fell like rain, and she resolved to go report it plainly to Grandmother Jia and to go question the people who had come over from Lady Xing's side.

，，，。66. Even while ill, Xifeng had heard that Baoyu's jade was lost, and knowing that Lady Wang had come over, she reckoned there was no avoiding it, so she had Fenger support her and came to the garden.，：“。”。67. Just as Lady Wang was rising to leave, Xifeng, in a delicate, faltering voice, said, "I pay my respects to you, Aunt." Baoyu and the others came over and asked after Xifeng's health.：“，？68. Lady Wang then said, "Have you heard about this too? Isn't it the strangest thing?，。69. Just now, the moment eyes were turned away, it was gone, and search as they might, it can't be found.，，，。70. Go and think it over—among all the people here, from the maids on Grandmother's side down to your own Pinger, whose hands aren't to be trusted, whose heart is given to spite.，。71. I mean to report it to Grandmother and have it thoroughly investigated.。”：“，，‘’，。72. Otherwise, it's as good as cutting off Baoyu's very life-cord." Xifeng replied, "In our household there are too many people and too many hands, all mixed together; as the old saying goes, 'One may know a face but not know the heart'—there's no guaranteeing who is good and who isn't.，，，，，。73. But now that there's already been such an uproar and everyone knows of it, if the thief is found out through Aunt's investigation, knowing full well it means death with no place even to be buried, out of desperation he might instead destroy the jade to silence the matter—what then?，，，。74. To my foolish way of thinking, it would be better simply to say that Baoyu never cared for it anyway and cast it aside somewhere, and that it's nothing serious.，。75. All that's needed is for everyone to be strict and careful, and not let Grandmother and Grandfather find out.，，，，。76. Put it about this way, while secretly sending people to make inquiries everywhere, coaxing the truth out bit by bit—that way the jade can still be recovered, and the culprit's guilt can also be properly established.？”，：“，。”：“，，。77. I don't know what Aunt thinks of this?" Lady Wang was silent a good while before saying, "What you say does make sense, but how could it possibly be kept from your Uncle?" She then called Huan'er over and said, "Your second brother's jade is lost, and you were only asked about it in passing—why did you have to shout and carry on so.，，！”：“。”，。78. If word of it gets out and whoever has it destroys it, I don't know whether you'll come out of it alive or not!" Jia Huan, terrified, wept and said, "I won't shout anymore." Hearing this, Concubine Zhao no longer dared say a word.：“，，。79. Lady Wang then instructed everyone, "It stands to reason there must be some spot that simply hasn't been searched yet—it was here safe and sound in the house, surely it hasn't sprouted wings and flown off somewhere.。80. Only, no one is to breathe a word of this outside.，，，。”，。81. I give Xiren three days to find it for me; if it isn't found within three days, I'm afraid it won't be possible to keep it hidden any longer, and then none of you will have a peaceful day to live." So saying, she had Xifeng accompany her to Lady Xing's side to discuss tracking the matter down.。82. No more of that for now.

If it can be found out this way, I shall never forget your kindness as long as I live." So saying, she made to kowtow at once, and Xiuyan hurriedly stopped her.。88. Daiyu and the others also all urged Xiuyan to hurry over to Longcui An at once.：“。89. Just then Lin Zhixiao's wife came in and said, "Congratulations, young ladies, wonderful news.，，。”，，。90. Lin Zhixiao came back from having the character read and said this jade cannot possibly be lost for good—sooner or later, someone is bound to return it." Hearing this, everyone was half-believing, half-doubting, only Xiren and Sheyue were overjoyed beyond words.：“？”：“，，‘’。91. Tanchun then asked, "What character was used for the reading?" Lin Zhixiao's wife said, "He said a great deal, more than I could ever repeat—I only remember that the character drawn was 'shang' (賞), meaning to bestow a gift on someone.，：‘？’”：“。”：“，‘’‘’，‘’，，。”，：“。92. That Liu Tiezui didn't even need to ask, and said straight off, 'Haven't you lost something?'" Li Wan said, "That's already a good sign." Lin Zhixiao's wife went on, "He also said, at the top of the character 'shang' is a 'small' (小), and at the bottom a 'mouth' (口)—this thing could very well fit in the mouth, so it must be some kind of pearl or gem." Hearing this, everyone praised him, saying, "He really is like an immortal.？”：“‘’，‘’，‘’？93. What did he say after that?" Lin Zhixiao's wife said, "He said that below is the character 'bei' (貝, 'shell/treasure'), and if you take it apart it doesn't quite form the character 'jian' (見, 'to see')—isn't that exactly 'not to be seen' (不見, i.e. missing)?‘’，。‘’‘’，‘’？94. And because the top part, once separated out, forms the character 'dang' (當, as in pawnshop), he said to go quickly to the pawnshops to look. And if you add a 'person' (人) radical to 'shang' (賞), doesn't that make the character 'chang' (償, 'to repay')?，，。”：“，，，。95. So all you need is to find the pawnshop, and there will be the person; once you have the person, you can redeem it back—and isn't that exactly 'repaying' it?" Everyone said, "If that's how it is, let's start by searching nearby—search through all the pawnshops round about one by one, and surely it will turn up.，。”：“，。96. Once we have the object itself, finding the person afterward will be easy." Li Wan said, "As long as we get the object, it won't matter even if we never find out who did it.，，，。97. Sister-in-law Lin, please be so good as to go at once and tell Second Mistress about this character-reading, and report to Aunt as well, so she can set her mind at ease first.。”。98. And ask Second Mistress to send people quickly to search." Lin's wife assented and went off at once.

What it’s about

A withered crab-apple in Happy Red Court suddenly flowers in the wrong season. The Lady Dowager insists that warm weather explains it, while Li Wan and Daiyu turn it into a favorable sign of Baoyu's progress and coming happiness; Tanchun privately reads unnatural growth as an omen of decline, and Jia She calls it a flower demon. A feast and poems force the marvel toward celebration. Baoyu remembers that the tree died in the year Qingwen died, grieves that a person cannot revive like a flower, then wonders whether its return announces Wuer's arrival as a maid. The same blossoms hold family optimism, private mourning and ominous reversal because each observer supplies the future desired or feared.

After changing clothes for the feast, Baoyu discovers that the jade from his birth has vanished. The household searches boxes, rooms and even latrines, offers rewards, briefly subjects maids to bodily searches and suspects Jia Huan of a prank. Aunt Zhao's furious defense makes concealment impossible, but Xifeng persuades Lady Wang that a public accusation might cause the thief to destroy the object. The garden gates are closed for three days while everyone agrees on a false story about losing it outside. Hope shifts to divination: a character analyst directs them to pawnshops, and Xiuyan goes to ask Miaoyu to use a spirit-writing planchette. What began as a festive reading of signs becomes a desperate search for the object that anchors Baoyu's name and life.

When it was written 背景

The crab-apple and the jade ask the same interpretive question: when an extraordinary sign appears, is it blessing, warning or simply an event made meaningful by fear? The flower's untimely return recalls the dead Qingwen but cannot restore her; the jade's disappearance makes the supernatural token in the novel's opening frame suddenly absent from ordinary domestic space. Its loss also turns identity into a practical crisis, since “Baoyu” names both the young man and his precious jade. The invasive search echoes the raid on Grand Prospect Garden in chapter seventy-four, again making vulnerable women answer for disorder generated by the family itself. Readers should notice how secrecy spreads responsibility. Servants fear punishment, relatives protect reputation, diviners convert written signs into clues, and no one can openly admit that an apparently secure household has lost its “root of life.”
