第九十六回　瞞消息鳳姐設奇謀　泄机關顰兒迷本性 Hiding the News, Xifeng Devises a Scheme; The Secret Out, Daiyu Loses Her Wits

，。The story goes that Jia Lian took that piece of fake jade and stormed out, indignant, going to the study.，，。That man, seeing that Jia Lian's color was not good, felt his heart quail, and hastily stood up to greet him.，：“，！Just as he was about to speak, Jia Lian gave a cold laugh and said, "What nerve! You scoundrel, you!，！”：“？”。"What place do you think this is, that you dare come here playing tricks!" He turned and asked, "Where are the houseboys?" Outside, like a peal of thunder, several houseboys answered together.：“。Jia Lian said, "Fetch a rope and tie him up.，。”“。”，。"Wait till the Master comes back and questions him properly, then send him off to the yamen." The houseboys again answered together, "We're getting ready." But though they said so, none of them moved.，，，，：“。The man had already been frightened out of his wits; seeing this show of force, he knew there was no escaping justice, and could only kneel down and kowtow to Jia Lian, saying over and over, "Old Master, please don't be angry.，。"It was only because I was driven to utter desperation by poverty that I thought up this shameless scheme.，，。”，。"That jade — I borrowed money to have it made. I no longer dare ask anything for it; I can only offer it up for the young master of your household to play with." So saying, he kowtowed again and again.：“！Jia Lian spat, "You wretch who doesn't know whether he's alive or dead!！”，，：“。"As if this household would prize that worthless, rotten trinket of yours!" In the midst of this uproar, Lai Da came in and, smiling ingratiatingly, said to Jia Lian, "Second Master, don't be angry.，，。”：“。”，：“，。"What is he, after all — spare him, and just tell him to get out." Jia Lian said, "He's truly detestable." Lai Da kept coaxing and pleading with Jia Lian, while everyone outside said, "You muddled cur, aren't you going to kowtow to the Master and to Uncle Lai yet?，！”，。"Get out quick, or are you waiting for a good kick in the gut!" The man hastily kowtowed twice and scurried off with his head in his hands, like a rat fleeing.“‘’”。From then on the streets buzzed with talk of how "Jia Baoyu had produced a fake Baoyu."

，，，，。Now, as for Jia Zheng — that day he came back from paying calls, but since it was close to the Lantern Festival, everyone feared it would upset him, and besides the matter was already over, so no one was willing to report it to him.，，，，。Only because everyone had been busy for some time over the matter of Imperial Consort Yuan, and lately Baoyu had also been ill — although the customary family banquet was held, no one was in the mood for it, so there is nothing worth recording.，，”，，，。When the seventeenth of the first month came, Lady Wang was just then looking forward to Wang Ziteng's arrival in the capital, when Xifeng came in and reported, "Today, out and about, the Second Master heard people saying that our family's Elder Master, hurrying to the capital, died on the road when he was only a little over two hundred li from the city.？”：“，，？”：“。”，，：“。”。"Has Madam heard of it?" Lady Wang said in shock, "I haven't heard it, and the Master didn't mention it last night either — where on earth did he hear it?" Xifeng said, "It's said he heard it at the house of Privy Councilor Zhang." Lady Wang was stunned for a long while, and the tears had already begun to fall; wiping them away, she said, "When he comes back, have Lian find out the truth of it and come tell me." Xifeng agreed and went off.，，。Lady Wang could not help shedding secret tears — grieving for her niece, weeping for her brother, and worrying over Baoyu besides.，，，。With one distressing matter following another like this, how could she bear it? Her heart and chest began to ache.：“，，，。On top of this, Jia Lian, having found out the truth, came and reported, "Uncle wore himself out hurrying on the road and happened to catch a chill; when he reached the place called Shilitun, he called in a doctor for treatment.，，。"Unfortunately there was no skilled physician in that place, and through a mistaken dose of medicine he died after just one draught.？”，，，，，“，，。"But we don't yet know whether his family has arrived there or not." Hearing this, Lady Wang felt a pang of grief, and her heart and chest ached so that she could not sit up; she called Caiyun and the others to help her onto the kang, and still forced herself to have Jia Lian go report to Jia Zheng, "Pack your things at once and go meet them there, help see everything through, and come straight back to tell us.。”，。"So that your wife can set her mind at ease." Jia Lian did not dare disobey, and could only take his leave of Jia Zheng and set out.，，，，。Jia Zheng had already learned of it and felt very ill at ease; moreover, knowing that ever since Baoyu had lost his jade his mind had been muddled and confused, that medicine had had no effect, and that Lady Wang's heart ailment had now flared up as well —，。That year happened to be the year of the metropolitan review of officials, and the Board of Works recommended Jia Zheng for first-class rating.，。In the second month, the Board of Civil Office presented him for imperial audience.，。The Emperor, considering Jia Zheng diligent, frugal, and prudent, at once appointed him Grain Intendant of Jiangxi.，。That very day he gave thanks for the imperial favor, and had already memorialized the date of his departure.，，，。Although many relatives and friends came to offer congratulations, Jia Zheng had no heart for entertaining them; he could only think of how unsettled things were at home, yet dared not delay his departure.，“。”Just as he was at a loss what to do, he heard word from Grandmother Jia's quarters: "Please invite the Master."

，。Jia Zheng hurried in at once, and saw that Lady Wang, ill as she was, was also there.。He then paid his respects to Grandmother Jia.，：“，，？”，。Grandmother Jia told him to sit down, and said, "You'll be off to your post before long; I have so much to say to you — I don't know whether you'll listen or not." As she spoke, tears fell.：“，。”：“，，，。Jia Zheng hastily rose and said, "If Old Ancestress has something to say, please just tell me; how would your son dare not obey?" Grandmother Jia, choking with emotion, said, "I am eighty-one years old this year, and now you must go off to a post outside the capital. As it happens your elder brother is at home, so you can't plead the need to care for aging parents.，，，。"Once you're gone, the one I love most is Baoyu, and as ill luck would have it he's fallen ill and confused in his mind, and there's no telling how things will turn out.，，，，。"Yesterday I sent Lai Sheng's wife out to have someone cast Baoyu's horoscope. This master was remarkably accurate — he said Baoyu must marry someone of the Metal destiny to support him, that a happy event is needed to counter the ill luck, or else I'm afraid he may not be saved.，。"I know you don't believe such talk, which is why I've asked you here to discuss it.。"Your wife is here too.，，？”：“，。"The two of you should talk it over as well — do you want Baoyu to get well, or do you want to just let things take their course?" Jia Zheng said with a forced smile, "Old Ancestress loved her son so dearly in years past — could it be that as a son I don't love my own son?，，。"It's only because Baoyu doesn't apply himself that I've often been harsh with him — but that's only wishing iron would turn to steel.，，。"Since Old Ancestress wishes to see him married and settled, that is only proper — how could there be any reason for me to go against Old Ancestress and not love him?，。"Now that Baoyu is ill, I too am uneasy.，。"Only because Old Ancestress would not let him see me did your son not dare say anything.。”，，。"I really must go and see just what illness Baoyu has." Seeing that Jia Zheng's eyes had reddened as he spoke, Lady Wang knew that in his heart he truly cared, and so had Xiren bring Baoyu in, supporting him.，，。When Baoyu saw his father, Xiren told him to pay his respects, and he made an obeisance.，，，，：“，，。Jia Zheng saw that his face was very thin, his eyes dull and lifeless, looking very much deranged and foolish, and had him helped back inside; he thought to himself, "I myself am nearing sixty, and now I am to take up a post away from home — there's no telling how many years before I return.，，，，，，。”，，，：“，，？"If this child should indeed take a turn for the worse — for one thing, I'm old and without an heir of my own generation, and though there is a grandson, that is still one remove further; for another, the one Old Ancestress loves most is Baoyu, and if anything should go wrong, would not the blame fall even more heavily on me?" He glanced at Lady Wang, her eyes brimming with tears, and his thoughts turned to her as well; he rose again and said, "Old Ancestress, at your advanced age, wanting to find a way to show love for your grandson — how would a son dare oppose that?。"Whatever Old Ancestress decides is exactly how it should be.？”：“。"Only, I wonder whether Aunt Xue's side has been told clearly yet or not?" Lady Wang then said, "Aunt Xue agreed long ago.，。”：“。"It's only that Pan's case hasn't been settled yet, so the matter hasn't been brought up all this while." Jia Zheng said further, "That in itself is the first difficulty.，。"With her brother in prison, how can the younger sister be married off?，，。"Besides, although the matter of the Honored Consort's death does not forbid marriage, Baoyu, in mourning for an elder sister who died after marrying out, owes nine months of mourning garb, so it would be difficult to marry now in any case.，，？”：“。"Moreover, the date of my departure has already been reported to the throne, and I dare not delay — what is to be done in these few days?" Grandmother Jia thought a moment: "What you say is indeed true.，。"If we wait for all these matters to pass, his father will already have left.，？"And if this illness grows worse day by day, what then?。”，：“，，。"It would be best to dispense with some of the formalities and simply get it done." Having made up her mind, she said, "If you arrange it for him, I naturally have a plan, and I guarantee nothing will stand in the way.。"As for Aunt Xue's side, your wife and I will go in person to ask her.，，，。"As for Pan, I'll have Ke go and tell him it's to save Baoyu's life, and that everything will be kept simple — he's sure to agree.，。"As for marrying while still in mourning garments, that truly will not do.，，，，，。"Besides, with Baoyu ill, we can't really have him marry properly — it's merely to counter the ill fortune with a happy occasion. Both our families are willing, and the children moreover have this matter of gold and jade between them, so there's no need even to match their horoscopes.，。"We'll simply pick an auspicious day and send the betrothal gifts according to our family's standing.，，，，，，，。"Then quickly pick a day for the wedding. We'll dispense with music and drums altogether, and instead follow the palace style — use twelve pairs of lanterns, and have her carried over in an eight-bearer sedan chair; perform the bowing ceremony according to southern custom, and likewise have the bed-sitting and the scattering of fruit and coins — and would that not count as having held the wedding?，。"Baochai is sensible and clear-headed, so there's no need to worry on her account.，。"Among them there's also Xiren, who is a steady, dependable girl too.。"And if there's someone sensible to keep advising him, all the better.。"Besides, he gets along well with Baochai.，，，，，。"Furthermore, Aunt Xue once said that concerning Baochai's gold locket, a monk had also said that whoever had jade would be her match — who's to say that once Baochai comes over, the gold locket might not draw out that jade of his again? That's not impossible either.，。"If from then on he grows better day by day, would that not be good fortune for us all?，。"Right now all we need is to have the rooms cleaned and set in order at once.。"You are the one to assign which rooms to use.，，，，。"We won't invite any relatives or friends at all, nor hold any banquet; once Baoyu is well and the mourning period is over, we can hold a feast and invite people then.。"This way everything can be managed in time.，。”，，，，：“，。"You'll also see the young couple settled before you go, so you can set your mind at ease and leave." Hearing this, Jia Zheng was not truly willing, but since Grandmother Jia was the one deciding, he did not dare disobey, and forced a smile, saying, "Old Ancestress's thinking is entirely correct, and very fitting.，，。"Only, the household staff must be instructed not to let it be noised about so that everyone inside and out knows of it — that would bring blame on us.，，，。”：“。"As for Aunt Xue's side, I'm afraid she may not consent; but if she truly agrees, then we can only proceed according to Old Ancestress's plan." Grandmother Jia said, "Leave Aunt Xue's side to me.。”，。"You may go now." Jia Zheng assented and withdrew, feeling most uneasy at heart.，，，，，。Because there was so much to attend to before taking up his post — collecting his credentials at the ministry, relatives and friends recommending people to him, all manner of social obligations without end — he simply left the matter of Baoyu entirely to Grandmother Jia, to be handed over to Lady Wang and Xifeng.，。He only designated for Baoyu a large adjoining compound of over twenty rooms behind Rongxi Hall, beside Lady Wang's inner chambers, and left everything else entirely unattended to.，，。Once Grandmother Jia had settled on her plan, she had someone go tell him of it, and Jia Zheng merely said it was very good — but this is a matter for later.

贾政即忙进去，看见王夫人带著病也在那里。便向贾母请了安。贾母叫他坐下，便说：“你不日就要赴任，我有多少话与你说，不知你听不听？”说著，掉下泪来。贾政忙站起来说道：“老太太有话只管吩咐，儿子怎敢不遵命呢。”贾母咽哽著说道：“我今年八十一岁的人了，你又要做外任去，偏有你大哥在家，你又不能告亲老。你这一去了，我所疼的只有宝玉，偏偏的又病得糊涂，还不知道怎么样呢。我昨日叫赖升媳妇出去叫人给宝玉算算命，这先生算得好灵，说要娶了金命的人帮扶他，必要冲冲喜才好，不然只怕保不住。我知道你不信那些话，所以教你来商量。你的媳妇也在这里。你们两个也商量商量，还是要宝玉好呢，还是随他去呢？”贾政陪笑说道：“老太太当初疼儿子这么疼的，难道做儿子的就不疼自己的儿子不成么。只为宝玉不上进，所以时常恨他，也不过是恨铁不成钢的意思。老太太既要给他成家，这也是该当的，岂有逆著老太太不疼他的理。如今宝玉病著，儿子也是不放心。因老太太不叫他见我，所以儿子也不敢言语。我到底瞧瞧宝玉是个什么病。”王夫人见贾政说著也有些眼圈儿红，知道心里是疼的，便叫袭人扶了宝玉来。宝玉见了他父亲，袭人叫他请安，他便请了个安。贾政见他脸面很瘦，目光无神，大有疯傻之状，便叫人扶了进去，便想到：“自己也是望六的人了，如今又放外任，不知道几年回来。倘或这孩子果然不好，一则年老无嗣，虽说有孙子，到底隔了一层，二则老太太最疼的是宝玉，若有差错，可不是我的罪名更重了。”瞧瞧王夫人，一包眼泪，又想到他身上，复站起来说：“老太太这么大年纪，想法儿疼孙子，做儿子的还敢违拗？老太太主意该怎么便怎么就是了。但只姨太太那边不知说明白了没有？”王夫人便道：“姨太太是早应了的。只为蟠儿的事没有结案，所以这些时总没提起。”贾政又道：“这就是第一层的难处。他哥哥在监里，妹子怎么出嫁。况且贵妃的事虽不禁婚嫁，宝玉应照已出嫁的姐姐有九个月的功服，此时也难娶亲。再者我的起身日期已经奏明，不敢耽搁，这几天怎么办呢？”贾母想了一想：“说的果然不错。若是等这几件事过去，他父亲又走了。倘或这病一天重似一天，怎么好？只可越些礼办了才好。”想定主意，便说道：“你若给他办呢，我自然有个道理，包管都碍不著。姨太太那边我和你媳妇亲自过去求他。蟠儿那里我央蝌儿去告诉他，说是要救宝玉的命，诸事将就，自然应的。若说服里娶亲，当真使不得。况且宝玉病著，也不可教他成亲，不过是冲冲喜，我们两家愿意，孩子们又有金玉的道理，婚是不用合的了。即挑了好日子，按著咱们家分儿过了礼。赶著挑个娶亲日子，一概鼓乐不用，倒按宫里的样子，用十二对提灯，一乘八人轿子抬了来，照南边规矩拜了堂，一样坐床撒帐，可不是算娶了亲了么。宝丫头心地明白，是不用虑的。内中又有袭人，也还是个妥妥当当的孩子。再有个明白人常劝他更好。他又和宝丫头合的来。再者姨太太曾说，宝丫头的金锁也有个和尚说过，只等有玉的便是婚姻，焉知宝丫头过来，不因金锁倒招出他那块玉来，也定不得。从此一天好似一天，岂不是大家的造化。这会子只要立刻收拾屋子，铺排起来。这屋子是要你派的。一概亲友不请，也不排筵席，待宝玉好了，过了功服，然后再摆席请人。这么著都赶的上。你也看见了他们小两口的事，也好放心的去。”贾政听了，原不愿意，只是贾母做主，不敢违命，勉强陪笑说道：“老太太想的极是，也很妥当。只是要吩咐家下众人，不许吵嚷得里外皆知，这要耽不是的。姨太太那边，只怕不肯，若是果真应了，也只好按著老太太的主意办去。”贾母道：“姨太太那里有我呢。你去吧。”贾政答应出来，心中好不自在。因赴任事多，部里领凭，亲友们荐人，种种应酬不绝，竟把宝玉的事，听凭贾母交与王夫人凤姐儿了。惟将荣禧堂后身王夫人内屋旁边一大跨所二十余间房屋指与宝玉，余者一概不管。贾母定了主意叫人告诉他去，贾政只说很好，此是后话。

，。Now, after Baoyu had seen Jia Zheng, Xiren helped him back to the kang in the inner room.，，。Because Jia Zheng was there in the outer rooms, no one dared talk with Baoyu, and so Baoyu drifted off into a hazy sleep.，。Of all that Grandmother Jia and Jia Zheng had said, Baoyu had not heard a single word.。Xiren and the others, however, had listened quietly and understood it all clearly.，，，。Earlier they had already caught wind of something, but it remained only hearsay; yet seeing that Baochai had not been coming over, they had begun to half-believe it was true.，，。Today, having heard these words, her mind was finally set at rest, like water returning to its channel, and she was rather pleased.：“，。She thought to herself, "Indeed, the elders' judgment is not mistaken — this truly is a fitting match.。"And good fortune for me as well.，。"If she comes, I'll be able to lay down a good many of my burdens.，，，。”，，：“？"But this one's heart holds only Miss Lin — luckily he didn't hear any of this; if he knew, there's no telling to what lengths things might get out of hand." Having thought this far, Xiren's joy turned to sorrow, and she thought, "What is to be done about this?，。"How would Old Ancestress and Madam know what's truly in their hearts?，。"If in a moment of high spirits someone lets him know, the intention would only be to help him recover.：，，，，。"But if his heart is still as it was before — when he first met Miss Lin he wanted to throw down and smash his jade; and that summer in the garden he even mistook me for Miss Lin and said all sorts of private, heartfelt things; and later, just because Zijuan made one teasing remark, he cried until he nearly died and came back to life.，，，，，！"If now someone tells him he's to marry Miss Bao and Miss Lin is to be set aside entirely — unless he's utterly unaware of the world, that might be all right, but if he has even a little awareness, I'm afraid that far from countering his illness with joy, it would hasten his death!，。”，，，，，。"If I don't speak up now and make this clear, would that not harm three people at once?" Xiren, having made up her mind, waited until Jia Zheng had gone out, had Qiuwen keep watch over Baoyu, then came out from the inner room, went up to Lady Wang's side, and quietly asked Lady Wang to come speak with her in the room behind Grandmother Jia's quarters.，，，。Grandmother Jia assumed it was merely something concerning Baoyu, and paid no attention, going on there to plan out how to send the betrothal gifts and how to hold the wedding.

，，：“？Grandmother Jia was just then discussing matters with Xifeng; seeing Lady Wang come in, she asked, "What did that girl Xiren say?。”，，。"Being so furtive about it." Lady Wang, taking the opportunity of the question, reported to Grandmother Jia in full detail the state of Baoyu's heart.，。Having heard this, Grandmother Jia said nothing for a long while.。Lady Wang and Xifeng likewise said nothing further.：“。Then Grandmother Jia sighed and said, "Everything else can be managed easily enough.，，。”，：“，，。”：“，。”：“，。”：“？”：“，，，。"As for that girl Lin, it's really nothing, but if Baoyu truly feels this way, then it does put us in a difficult spot." Xifeng thought for a moment, then said, "It's not so much difficult, only I've thought of a plan — I don't know whether Aunt would agree to it." Lady Wang said, "If you have an idea, just tell it to Old Ancestress, and we women can discuss it and decide together." Xifeng said, "To my mind, there's only one way to handle this — a switch, swapping one for the other." Grandmother Jia said, "How do you mean, a switch?" Xifeng said, "Now, whether or not Cousin Bao understands what's happening, we'll all make it known loudly that the Master has decided and matched him with Miss Lin.。"We'll see how he reacts.，。"If he pays it no mind at all, then there's no need to make any switch.，。”：“，？”，。"But if he shows some sign of being pleased, then this affair will need a great deal of careful managing." Lady Wang said, "Suppose he is pleased — how would you go about it then?" Xifeng went up to Lady Wang's ear and explained the whole scheme, just so and so.，：“。”：“，？”，，。Lady Wang nodded a few times and, smiling slightly, said, "Well, that will do." Grandmother Jia then asked, "What mischief are you two, mother and daughter-in-law, up to? Do tell me just what it is." Xifeng, afraid Grandmother Jia might not follow and that the secret scheme might leak out, likewise leaned close to her ear and told it softly to her.，。Sure enough, Grandmother Jia did not grasp it at first, and Xifeng, laughing, explained a bit further.：“，。Grandmother Jia laughed and said, "That will do well enough — only it will be very hard on Baochai.，？”：“，，。”，：“。”，。"And if it should get out and be talked about, whatever will become of that girl Lin?" Xifeng said, "This story is meant only to be told to Baoyu's ears; it must not be mentioned outside at all, under any circumstances — who would ever know of it?" Just as they were speaking, a maid came in with word: "Second Master Lian is back." Lady Wang, fearing Grandmother Jia might ask about him, gave Xifeng a meaningful glance.，。Xifeng then went to meet Jia Lian and gave him a look, pursing her lips, and together they went to wait in Lady Wang's room.，。After a while, when Lady Wang came in, she found that Xifeng had already cried until both her eyes were red.，，：“，，，。Jia Lian paid his respects, related once through the account of going to Shilitun to see to Wang Ziteng's funeral affairs, and then said, "By imperial grace he has been granted a title in the Grand Secretariat, with the posthumous name Duke Wenqin, and it has been ordered that the family escort the coffin back to their native place, with local officials along the way instructed to render assistance.，。He had set off just yesterday, taking his whole family back south with him.，，。The lady aunt sent me back to pay respects and ask after you, saying that now, much to her regret, she cannot come to the capital, and there is so much she cannot say in a letter.，，。”，。I heard that my elder brother-in-law is going to the capital; if you should happen to meet him on the road, do have him come to our place and talk things over in full." When Madam Wang heard this, her grief may well be imagined.，“，。”，，，。Xifeng comforted her for a while, saying, "Please rest a little, Madam; we can talk over Baoyu's affair again this evening." So saying, she went back to her own room together with Jia Lian, told him what had happened, and had him send someone to get the new bridal chamber ready.。No more of this for now.

贾母正在那里和凤姐儿商议，见王夫人进来，便问道：“袭人丫头说什么？这么鬼鬼祟祟的。”王夫人趁问，便将宝玉的心事，细细回明贾母。贾母听了，半日没言语。王夫人和凤姐也都不再说了。只见贾母叹道：“别的事都好说。林丫头倒没有什么，若宝玉真是这样，这可叫人作了难了。”只见凤姐想了一想，因说道：“难倒不难，只是我想了个主意，不知姑妈肯不肯。”王夫人道：“你有主意只管说给老太太听，大家娘儿们商量著办罢了。”凤姐道：“依我想，这件事只有一个掉包儿的法子。”贾母道：“怎么掉包儿？”凤姐道：“如今不管宝兄弟明白不明白，大家吵嚷起来，说是老爷做主，将林姑娘配了他了。瞧他的神情儿怎么样。要是他全不管，这个包儿也就不用掉了。若是他有些喜欢的意思，这事却要大费周折呢。”王夫人道：“就算他喜欢，你怎么样办法呢？”凤姐走到王夫人耳边，如此这般的说了一遍。王夫人点了几点头儿，笑了一笑说道：“也罢了。”贾母便问道：“你娘儿两个捣鬼，到底告诉我是怎么著呀？”凤姐恐贾母不懂，露泄机关，便也向耳边轻轻的告诉了一遍。贾母果真一时不懂，凤姐笑著又说了几句。贾母笑道：“这么著也好，可就只忒苦了宝丫头了。倘或吵嚷出来，林丫头又怎么样呢？”凤姐道：“这个话原只说给宝玉听，外头一概不许提起，有谁知道呢。”正说间，丫头传进话来说：“琏二爷回来了。”王夫人恐贾母问及，使个眼色与凤姐。凤姐便迎著贾琏努了个嘴儿，同到王夫人屋里等著去了。一回儿王夫人进来，已见凤姐哭的两眼通红。贾琏请了安，将到十里屯料理王子腾的丧事的话说了一遍，便说：“有恩旨赏了内阁的职衔，谥了文勤公，命本宗扶柩回籍，著沿途地方官员照料。昨日起身，连家眷回南去了。舅太太叫我回来请安问好，说如今想不到不能进京，有多少话不能说。听见我大舅子要进京，若是路上遇见了，便叫他来到咱们这里细细的说。”王夫人听毕，其悲痛自不必言。凤姐劝慰了一番，“请太太略歇一歇，晚上来再商量宝玉的事罢。”说毕，同了贾琏回到自己房中，告诉了贾琏，叫他派人收拾新房。不题。

，，，。One day, after breakfast, Daiyu brought Zijuan with her to the Lady Dowager's quarters — partly to pay her respects, and partly to shake off her own low spirits.，，，，。No sooner had she left Bamboo Lodge and gone a few steps than she suddenly remembered she had forgotten her handkerchief, so she sent Zijuan back to fetch it, while she herself walked on slowly, waiting for her.，，。Just as she reached the rocks behind Drenching Fragrance Bridge — the very spot where she and Baoyu had once buried fallen blossoms — she suddenly heard someone sobbing there.，，。Daiyu stopped short to listen, but she could not tell whose voice it was, nor make out what the person was saying between sobs.，。Feeling very puzzled, she walked slowly toward the sound.，。When she drew near, she saw it was a maid with thick eyebrows and big eyes, crying there.，，，，，：，。Before Daiyu saw who it was, she had half suspected that one of the senior maids of the household must be nursing some unspeakable trouble, and had come here to vent it; but once she saw this particular maid, she almost laughed, thinking: what tender feelings could a dull creature like this possibly have — she must simply be one of the maids who did the rough work, bullied by one of the older girls.，。She looked at her closely, but did not recognize her.，，。When the maid saw Daiyu approaching, she no longer dared to cry, and stood up to wipe her tears.：“？”，：“。Daiyu asked, "Why are you so upset here, all by yourself?" At this the maid began to weep again and said, "Miss Lin, do judge this fairly for me.，，。”，，：“？”：“。”，，：“？”：“。”，：“？I didn't even know what they were talking about, and just said one wrong sentence — there was no call for my sister to hit me over it." Daiyu, not understanding what she meant, asked with a smile, "Which one is your sister?" The maid said, "Why, Sister Zhenzhu." Only then did Daiyu realize she belonged to the Lady Dowager's own rooms, and asked further, "What is your name?" The maid said, "I'm called Silly Big Sister." Daiyu smiled and asked again, "Why did your sister hit you?？”：“，。”，，。What did you say wrong?" The maid said, "Why, it was all over the matter of our Second Master Bao marrying Miss Bao." The instant Daiyu heard this, it was as though a sudden thunderclap had struck her, and her heart began pounding wildly.，”。”，。Steadying herself a little, she said to the maid, "Come here with me." The maid followed Daiyu to that secluded corner where the peach blossoms had once been buried, a quiet, out-of-the-way spot.：“，？”：“，，。Daiyu then asked, "About Second Master Bao marrying Miss Bao — why should she hit you over that?" Silly Big Sister said, "Our Old Ancestress and Madam and the Second Mistress talked it over. Since our Master is about to set off on his journey, they said they'd best hurry and arrange with Aunt Xue to have Miss Bao married in.，，——”，，：“，。”。First, it's to ward off ill fortune for Second Master Bao with a happy occasion; and second—" here she glanced at Daiyu and gave a little smile before going on, "—they mean to get it done in a hurry, because they also want to arrange a match for Miss Lin." By now Daiyu was listening as if stunned.：“，，。The maid went right on: "I don't really know how they settled it all, only that they told everyone not to make a fuss, for fear Miss Bao would hear and feel embarrassed.：‘，，，！’，，，，。I just happened to say to Sister Xiren, who serves in Second Master Bao's rooms, 'Things will be even livelier for us from now on — there'll be Miss Bao, and then there'll be Second Mistress Bao too. Whatever will we call her!' Now tell me, Miss Lin, how did that remark do Sister Zhenzhu any harm? Yet she came right over and slapped me across the face, saying I was talking nonsense, not heeding what those above had decreed, and that I ought to be driven out.，，。”，。How was I to know why those above didn't want it spoken of? None of you told me anything, and yet I'm the one who gets hit." So saying, she began to cry again.

一日，黛玉早饭后带著紫鹃到贾母这边来，一则请安，二则也为自己散散闷。出了潇湘馆，走了几步，忽然想起忘了手绢子来，因叫紫鹃回去取来，自己却慢慢的走著等他。刚走到沁芳桥那边山石背后，当日同宝玉葬花之处，忽听一个人呜呜咽咽在那里哭。黛玉煞住脚听时，又听不出是谁的声音，也听不出哭著叨叨的是些什么话。心里甚是疑惑，便慢慢的走去。及到了跟前，却见一个浓眉大眼的丫头在那里哭呢。黛玉未见他时，还只疑府里这些大丫头有什么说不出的心事，所以来这里发泄发泄，及至见了这个丫头，却又好笑，因想到：这种蠢货有什么情种，自然是那屋里作粗活的丫头受了大女孩子的气了。细瞧了一瞧，却不认得。那丫头见黛玉来了，便也不敢再哭，站起来拭眼泪。黛玉问道：“你好好的为什么在这里伤心？”那丫头听了这话，又流泪道：“林姑娘你评评这个理。他们说话我又不知道，我就说错了一句话，我姐姐也不犯就打我呀。”黛玉听了，不懂他说的是什么，因笑问道：“你姐姐是那一个？”那丫头道：“就是珍珠姐姐。”黛玉听了，才知道他是贾母屋里的，因又问：“你叫什么？”那丫头道：“我叫傻大姐儿。”黛玉笑了一笑，又问：“你姐姐为什么打你？你说错了什么话了？”那丫头道：“为什么呢，就是为我们宝二爷娶宝姑娘的事情。”黛玉听了这一句，如同一个疾雷，心头乱跳。略定了定神，便叫了这丫头”你跟了我这里来。”那丫头跟著黛玉到那畸角儿上葬桃花的去处，那里背静。黛玉因问道：“宝二爷娶宝姑娘，他为什么打你呢？”傻大姐道：“我们老太太和太太二奶奶商量了，因为我们老爷要起身，说就赶著往姨太太商量把宝姑娘娶过来罢。头一宗，给宝二爷冲什么喜，第二宗——”说到这里，又瞅著黛玉笑了一笑，才说道：“赶著办了，还要给林姑娘说婆婆家呢。”黛玉已经听呆了。这丫头只管说道：“我又不知道他们怎么商量的，不叫人吵嚷，怕宝姑娘听见害臊。我白和宝二爷屋里的袭人姐姐说了一句：‘咱们明儿更热闹了，又是宝姑娘，又是宝二奶奶，这可怎么叫呢！’林姑娘你说我这话害著珍珠姐姐什么了吗，他走过来就打了我一个嘴巴，说我混说，不遵上头的话，要撵出我去。我知道上头为什么不叫言语呢，你们又没告诉我，就打我。”说著，又哭起来。

，，。At that moment it was as though oil, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar had all been poured together inside Daiyu's heart — sweet, bitter, sour, and salty all at once — until she could no longer tell what the taste really was.，：“。After a while, she said, trembling, "Don't talk such nonsense anymore.，。If you keep talking like that and someone hears you, you'll be beaten again.。”，。Go on now." So saying, she turned to make her way back to Bamboo Lodge.，，。Yet her body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, while her two feet seemed to be treading on cotton wool — they had already gone weak beneath her.。She could only walk forward slowly, one step at a time.，，。She walked for a long while and still had not reached the side of Drenching Fragrance Bridge, for her feet had grown too weak under her.，，，。Walking slowly, and dazed and confused besides, she let her feet wander around by another way, adding a good two bowshots' distance to her path.，。Just as she reached the side of Drenching Fragrance Bridge, she found herself, without realizing it, walking back along the embankment the way she had come.，。Zijuan came back with the handkerchief, but could not find Daiyu anywhere.，，，，。Just as she was looking around, she saw Daiyu, her face white as snow, her body swaying unsteadily, her eyes staring fixedly, wandering first this way and then that.，，。She also saw a maid walking on ahead, but the distance was too great to tell who it was.，：“？Filled with alarm and misgiving, Zijuan could only hurry over and ask softly, "Miss, why are you going back again?？”，：“！”，，。Where are you trying to go?" Daiyu only half heard her, and answered without thinking, "I'm going to ask Baoyu about it!" Hearing this, Zijuan could make no sense of it at all, and could only support her as they went on to the Lady Dowager's quarters.

，，，：“？”：“。When Daiyu reached the Lady Dowager's gate, her mind cleared a little, and turning to see Zijuan supporting her, she stopped and asked, "What have you come for?" Zijuan answered with a forced smile, "I found the handkerchief and brought it.，，。”：“，。”，，。Just now I saw you over by the bridge, Miss, and hurried over to ask you something, but you paid no attention." Daiyu said with a smile, "I supposed you'd come to see Second Master Bao — otherwise why would you be walking this way?" Seeing how confused she was, Zijuan realized Daiyu must have overheard something that maid had said, and could do nothing but nod and smile faintly.，，，，？Yet in her heart she dreaded what might happen if Daiyu saw Baoyu — the one already half-mad and foolish, the other now so dazed and bewildered — some improper word might slip out between them, and then what was to be done?，，。Though this was what she thought, she did not dare go against Daiyu's wishes, and could only support her as they went in.，，，，。Strangely enough, Daiyu now no longer felt as weak as before; without waiting for Zijuan to lift the curtain for her, she raised it herself and went in, all without a sound.，，，。Since the Lady Dowager was in her room taking her midday nap, some of the maids had slipped off to amuse themselves, some were dozing, and some were there waiting on the old lady.，，，：“。”：“？”，，，，。It was Xiren who, hearing the curtain rustle, came out to look, and seeing it was Daiyu, said invitingly, "Do come and sit inside, Miss." Daiyu said with a smile, "Is Second Master Bao at home?" Not knowing what lay behind this, Xiren was just about to answer when she saw Zijuan, standing behind Daiyu, purse her lips at her, point toward Daiyu, and shake her hand.，。Xiren could not make out what this meant, and did not dare say anything further.，。Daiyu, paying no attention to any of this, walked into the room by herself.，，。She saw Baoyu sitting there; he did not even rise to offer her a seat, but only gazed at her with a silly, giggling laugh.，。Daiyu sat herself down, and gazed back at Baoyu, smiling too.，，，。Neither of the two exchanged greetings, nor spoke, nor made any polite gesture — they simply sat there face to face, laughing foolishly.，，。Seeing this scene, Xiren was greatly at a loss, but there was nothing she could do.：“，？”：“。”，。Suddenly she heard Daiyu ask, "Baoyu, why have you fallen ill?" Baoyu answered with a smile, "I fell ill because of Miss Lin." Xiren and Zijuan were both so startled their faces changed color, and hurriedly tried to break in and change the subject.，。But the two of them paid no heed, and simply went on laughing foolishly as before.，，：“，。”：“，。”，，。Seeing this, Xiren realized that Daiyu's mind was, at this moment, no less confused than Baoyu's, and so she said quietly to Zijuan, "Miss Lin has only just recovered — let me have Sister Qiuwen help you take her back to rest." Turning to Qiuwen, she said, "You and Sister Zijuan see Miss Lin home, and mind you don't say anything out of place." Qiuwen only smiled and said nothing, and came with Zijuan to help Daiyu up.

What it’s about

Jia Lian exposes the poor man's counterfeit jade, but the family's greater emergencies make that fraud almost incidental. Wang Ziteng dies while traveling to the capital, and Jia Zheng is appointed grain commissioner in Jiangxi just as he must leave a household shaken by Yuanchun's death and Baoyu's worsening vacancy. The Lady Dowager decides that marriage to the “gold” bride Baochai may restore the jade-less young man. When Xiren explains that Baoyu loves Daiyu rather than Baochai, Xifeng proposes a substitution: tell him he is marrying Daiyu, keep the real bride's name secret and exchange one woman for the other beneath the wedding veil.

The secret fails at the person least able to bear it. Silly Elder Sister, punished for talking about the preparations, innocently tells Daiyu that Baoyu will marry Baochai and that another husband will be found for her. Stunned, Daiyu loses her way through the garden and goes to confront Baoyu. He too is mentally unmoored by the missing jade; the two sit facing one another and laugh until he plainly says that he is ill because of her. Daiyu leaves with an eerie clarity and speed, then collapses at the entrance to Xiaoxiang Lodge and coughs up blood. The household's scheme has not yet deceived Baoyu, but its enforced silence has already delivered the truth to Daiyu in its most destructive form.

When it was written 背景

The “ingenious plan” is usually called 掉包 or 偷梁換柱, exchanging a package or replacing a structural beam while appearances remain intact. It turns the novel's old contrast between true and false into deliberate domestic policy: elders hope a false statement about Daiyu will produce a medically useful reality for Baoyu. The plan also depends on unequal power. Baochai may be asked to endure a bridegroom who believes she is someone else, while Daiyu is not considered a participant in the decision at all. Wang Ziteng's death beside Yuanchun's removes another pillar of official protection, and Jia Zheng's departure compresses mourning, illness and marriage into an artificial emergency. The title's paired verbs, 瞞 and 泄, make concealment and disclosure simultaneous rather than successive; the supposedly foolish maid tells the one truth that the clever managers cannot control.
