第九十八回　苦絳珠魂歸離恨天　病神瑛淚灑相思地 The Suffering Daiyu's Soul Returns to Heaven; The Ailing Baoyu Weeps upon the Earth of Longing

，，，，，。The story goes that after Baoyu had seen Jia Zheng, he returned to his room feeling even more dizzy and muddled in the head, too listless to move, and without even eating his meal he fell into a heavy, clouded sleep.，，。They went on calling in doctors to examine him, but the medicines had no effect, and in the end he could no longer even recognize people clearly.，。When everyone helped him sit up, he still seemed much like his old self.，，，，，。This went on in a turmoil for several days running, and it happened that the day was the appointed date for the "third-day return visit"; if they did not go, Aunt Xue would lose face, yet if they were to go, there was Baoyu in such a state.，，。The Lady Dowager knew perfectly well that it was all on account of Daiyu, and wanted to tell him the truth plainly, yet she feared that in his agitation some crisis might result.，，。Baochai, being a new bride, would be hard to comfort by herself; it would be best if Aunt Xue could come over.，。But if they did not make the third-day return visit, Aunt Xue would be offended.：“，。So she discussed it with Lady Wang and Xifeng, saying: "As I see it, Baoyu is quite beside himself and his soul is not settled in his body, but there's no fear in moving him about.，，，，？”，。We'll use two small sedan-chairs and have people support him through the garden, so as to fulfill the auspicious date of the return visit; afterward we'll invite Aunt Xue over here to comfort Baochai, and we can devote ourselves single-mindedly to treating Baoyu — won't that serve both purposes?" Lady Wang agreed, and preparations were made at once.，，。Fortunately Baochai was a new bride and Baoyu was in a mad, foolish state, so the whole affair was managed and got through by others arranging everything.，，，。Baochai too knew perfectly well how matters stood; in her heart she only blamed her mother for having handled things so confusedly, but since matters had reached this point, she was unwilling to say much.，，。Only Aunt Xue, seeing Baoyu in such a state, felt regret in her heart, but had no choice but to get the affair over with hastily.

，，。Once home, Baoyu grew still more gravely ill, and by the next day he could not even sit up.，。He grew worse with each passing day, until at last he could not even take soup or water.，，。Aunt Xue and the others were thrown into a flurry, sending everywhere to invite famous physicians, but none of them could identify the source of his illness.，，，，，，，：。Only a poor physician living in a dilapidated temple outside the city, surnamed Bi and styled Zhi'an, diagnosed the source of the illness as being the violent clash of grief and joy, disorder between cold and warmth, irregular eating and drinking, and worry and resentment congesting within, blocking the flow of the vital energy — a case of internal injury combined with an external ailment.，，，。So he measured out the medicine accordingly; by evening it was taken, and sure enough, after the second watch Baoyu regained some awareness and asked for water to drink.，。Only then did the Lady Dowager, Lady Wang, and the others feel their minds set at ease, and they invited Aunt Xue to bring Baochai over to the Lady Dowager's quarters to rest there for the time being.

，，，，，：“，？Baoyu, clear-headed for a moment, reckoned to himself that he might not survive; seeing that after everyone had dispersed only Xiren remained in the room, he called her to his side, took her hand, and said weeping: "Let me ask you — how did it come about that Sister Bao is here?，？I remember Father married me to Cousin Lin — how did she get driven away by Sister Bao?？Why has she taken over and settled in here?，。I would like to speak of it, but I'm afraid of offending her.？”，：“。”：“。”，。Have you heard how much Cousin Lin has been crying?" Xiren dared not tell him the truth plainly, and could only say, "Miss Lin is ill." Baoyu then said, "I'll go and see her," and with that tried to get up.，，：“！But how could his body move, when for days he had taken neither food nor drink? So he wept and said, "I am going to die!，：，。I have something on my mind — I only beg you to report it clearly to the Lady Dowager: Cousin Lin is bound to die in any case, and I too cannot be saved now.，。There are two sick people in two places, both bound to die, and once dead it will be all the harder to manage things.，，，。Better to clear out an empty room and carry Cousin Lin and me there together while there's still time — while alive we can be treated and tended in one place, and once dead we can be laid out together in one place.，。”，。If you'll grant me this, it won't have been for nothing, these years of affection between us." Hearing these words, Xiren wept until her throat choked and her breath caught.，，：“，。Just then Baochai happened to come in with Yingr, and having overheard this too, said: "Here you are, not taking care to nurse your illness — why must you say such inauspicious things?，。The Lady Dowager has only just been somewhat comforted, and now you go and stir up trouble again.，，，，，。All her life the Lady Dowager has doted on you alone, and now she is a woman past eighty; though she does not look to you for any title of honor, still, if in time to come you make something of yourself, she would have one more day's joy in seeing it, and it would not be for nothing, all the old lady's loving care.，，，，。As for Aunt Wang, there's no need even to speak of it — a whole lifetime's heart's blood and energy spent raising this one son of hers; if you were to die midway, what would become of her in the future?，。And as for me, though my fate is a thin one, it has not come to this.，，，。Looking at these three considerations, even if you wished to die, Heaven itself would not allow it — so you are not permitted to die.，，，，。”，，：“，？”，：“，，。”，：“？”：“。Just rest quietly, and after four or five days of recuperation, once the pernicious wind has dispersed and the true harmonious vital energy is restored in full, naturally all these evil ailments will vanish of themselves." Hearing this, Baoyu found he had no reply to make, and after a good while he laughed a little and said, "You haven't spoken to me for quite some time — now you come out with all this fine reasoning, for whose benefit?" On hearing this, Baochai said further, "I'll tell you honestly, then: during those two days when you were unconscious, Cousin Lin had already passed away." Baoyu suddenly sat up and cried out in astonishment, "Is she really dead?" Baochai said, "She really is dead.。How could I possibly, with an open mouth and bare words, curse someone to death for no reason?，，，。”，，。The Lady Dowager and Aunt Wang knew how close you two cousins were, and feared that hearing of her death you too would naturally want to die, and so they were unwilling to tell you." Hearing this, Baoyu could not help but burst into loud weeping, and collapsed back onto the bed.

，，，，：“？”：“。Suddenly all before his eyes turned pitch black, and he could make out no direction; just as his mind was lost in a daze, he saw what seemed to be someone walking toward him. Baoyu asked blankly, "May I ask what place this is?" The man said, "This is the road to the Springs of the Nether World.，？”：“，，。”：“？”：“。”：“，，，！Your allotted span of life is not yet ended — why have you come here?" Baoyu said, "I just heard that an old friend of mine had died, and so I came seeking her, and without noticing it lost my way." The man said, "Who is this old friend?" Baoyu said, "Lin Daiyu of Gusu." The man gave a cold laugh and said, "In life Lin Daiyu was unlike other people, and in death she is unlike other ghosts — she has no soul and no spirit, so where would you go seeking her!，，，，。In ordinary mortals, the soul and spirit gather to form a body, and disperse to become mere vapor; while alive these are gathered together, and at death they scatter.，。Even an ordinary person could not be sought out and found after death — how much less Lin Daiyu.。”，：“，？”：“，。You had best go back at once." Hearing this, Baoyu stood stupefied for a good while, then said, "If it is said that the dead simply disperse, then how can there be this Nether World at all?" The man gave a cold laugh and said, "As for the Nether World — say it exists, and it exists; say it does not, and it does not.，，，，，，，，，。It is all simply that worldly people are sunk in doctrines of life and death, so this teaching was set forth to warn the world, saying that Heaven above is deeply angered at foolish men — those who do not keep to their proper station and live in contentment, or those whose allotted span and emolument are not yet exhausted yet who cut their own lives short, or those addicted to lust, given to venting their spleen and indulging violence, who perish by their own doing for no cause — and for these it specially established this hell, to imprison their souls and spirits, to suffer boundless torment, in payment for the sins of their lifetime.，。For you to go seeking Daiyu is to cast yourself into this without cause.，，，。Moreover, Daiyu has already returned to the Land of Illusion; if you truly have it in your heart to seek her, cultivate yourself with a quiet mind, and in time you will naturally meet again.，，，，。”，，。But if you do not settle down to live out your span, you will be imprisoned in the Nether World for the crime of cutting your own life short, and apart from never seeing your parents again, you will never in the end be able to see Daiyu either." When the man had finished speaking, he drew a stone from his sleeve and hurled it straight at Baoyu's chest.，，，。Hearing these words, and struck in the chest by the stone besides, Baoyu was so frightened that he wanted at once to go home, only he was vexed that he had lost his way.，。Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone over there calling to him.，，，，，。Turning his head to look, it was none other than the Lady Dowager, Lady Wang, Baochai, Xiren, and the others, gathered round him weeping and calling out.。He found himself still lying on the bed.，，，。He saw the red lamp on the table and the bright moon before the window — it was still the world of brocade and splendor, of flourishing prosperity.，。Steadying his mind and thinking it over, he realized it had all been but a great dream.，。His whole body was drenched in cold sweat, yet he felt his mind clear within.，，。Thinking it over carefully, there was truly nothing to be done about it, and he could only heave several long sighs.，，。Baochai had known long since that Daiyu was dead, but because the Lady Dowager and the others had forbidden anyone to let Baoyu know, fearing it would aggravate his illness beyond cure, she had said nothing.，，，，，。Yet she herself understood full well that Baoyu's illness had truly arisen on account of Daiyu, with the loss of the jade being only secondary, and so she had seized the moment to tell him plainly, so that he might grieve it out once and for all, his spirit and soul settle back into one, and thus perhaps be cured.，。The Lady Dowager, Lady Wang, and the others, not understanding Baochai's intent, blamed her deeply for having acted so rashly.，。It was only afterward, seeing Baoyu wake up, that they finally felt at ease.。At once they went to the outer study and invited Doctor Bi in to examine him.，：“，，，，。”。The doctor came in, took his pulse, and said: "Strange — this time the pulse is calm and settled, the spirit is at peace and the congestion dispersed; tomorrow, once he takes some restorative medicine, there should be hope of recovery." So saying, he went out.。Everyone, their minds now at ease, dispersed to their own quarters.

，。At first Xiren deeply resented Baochai for having told him, thinking she should not have done so, only she found it hard to say so aloud.：“。”：“！Yingr too, behind her back, said to Baochai: "Miss, you were really too hasty." Baochai said, "What do you know about it!。”，，，。Whatever happens, I'm here to answer for it, come what may." Baochai let others speak ill of her without taking it to heart, and only watched closely for the sickness in Baoyu's heart, quietly applying her own remedies.，，，。One day, Baoyu gradually felt his mind and spirit growing settled; though from time to time he thought of Daiyu, his mind on the matter was still confused.“，，，，，”。What is more, Xiren would gently and repeatedly reassure him with words such as: "The reason Master chose Miss Bao is that she is gentle and generous by nature, whereas he felt Miss Lin's temperament was too strange, and feared besides that she would not live long; the Lady Dowager, worried that you in your illness might not know right from wrong and grow too agitated, therefore had Xueyan come over to deceive you a little."。Still, in the end Baoyu's heart ached and he shed tears.，，，，。He wished to seek death, yet remembering the words spoken in his dream, and fearing too that the Lady Dowager and Aunt Wang would be angered, he could not bring himself to cast the matter aside.，，，。He thought too that Daiyu was already dead, and that Baochai was after all a person of the very first rank, so that he came at last to believe that the marriage of gold and stone had been fated, and his own heart found a good deal of relief.，，，。Seeing that things were no longer seriously in danger, Baochai's own mind grew easy too, and after she had fully performed the formal courtesies before the Lady Dowager, Lady Wang, and the others, she set about finding ways to relieve Baoyu's cares.，，。Although Baoyu could not often sit up, he would frequently see Baochai sitting by his bed, and could not help but feel his old inborn failing stir again.，”，，”。Baochai would always admonish him with proper, upright words, comforting him with such sayings as, "Nursing your health is what matters most — since you and I are now husband and wife, why should it depend on a single moment?"，，，，。Though Baoyu was not fully content at heart, there was nothing to be done, since by day the Lady Dowager, Lady Wang, and Aunt Xue took turns keeping him company, and at night Baochai retired alone to sleep while the Lady Dowager had people appointed to attend him, so that he had no choice but to settle his mind and rest quietly.，，。Seeing too how gentle and tender Baochai's manner was, he gradually, little by little, shifted the affection he had cherished for Daiyu somewhat onto Baochai — but this is a matter for later.

，，，。Now to return to the day Baoyu was married: that very day, Daiyu had already fainted away during the daytime, yet a single thread of faint breath still lingered at her chest and lips, and this reduced Li Wan and Zijuan to weeping as though half-dead themselves.，，，。By evening, Daiyu revived a little again, opening her eyes faintly, seeming as though she wanted water or broth.，。By this time Xueyan had already gone elsewhere, and only Zijuan and Li Wan were at her side.，。Zijuan brought a cup of longan broth mixed with pear juice, and fed her two or three spoonfuls with a small silver spoon.，。Daiyu rested quietly with her eyes closed for a while, feeling within her as though half clear and half clouded.，，，。At this point, seeing Daiyu somewhat eased, Li Wan knew perfectly well this was but the last flare of a dying lamp, yet reckoning there was still perhaps half a day's respite left, she went back to Paddy-Sweet Cottage to attend to some matters.

，，，：“。Here Daiyu opened her eyes and looked about; seeing only Zijuan, the wet-nurse, and a few young maids present, she reached out and grasped Zijuan's hand with one of hers, and said with great effort, gathering her strength: "I am a person of no more use now.，。You have waited on me for years; I had always hoped the two of us would remain together always.。……”，，。I never thought that I..." So saying, she gasped for breath a while longer, then closed her eyes to rest.，，，，，。Seeing that Daiyu gripped her hand and would not let go, Zijuan dared not move either; noting that her condition seemed somewhat better than earlier in the day, she had thought there was still hope of a turn for the better, but on hearing these words her heart went half cold again.，：“，。After a good while, Daiyu spoke again: "Sister, I have no kin of my own here.，。”。My body is clean and unsullied — whatever happens, have them send me back home." Having said this much, she closed her eyes again and spoke no more.，，，。Yet the hand gripped tighter and tighter, and her breath came all in gasps, the outgoing breath large and the incoming breath faint, already extremely hurried and labored.

，，。Zijuan, thrown into alarm, hastily sent someone to fetch Li Wan, and as it happened Tanchun arrived just then.，：“，。”，。Seeing her, Zijuan hastily said in a low voice: "Third Miss, please come and look at Miss Lin." As she spoke, her tears fell like rain.，，。Tanchun came over and felt Daiyu's hand — it was already cold, and even her gaze had grown unfocused.，。Tanchun and Zijuan were just weeping and calling for water to be brought to wash Daiyu when Li Wan hurried in.，。The three of them had barely caught sight of one another, with no time yet to speak,，：“，，……”“”，，。when, just as they were wiping her, they suddenly heard Daiyu cry out in a clear voice: "Baoyu, Baoyu, you..." At the word "you," cold sweat broke out over her whole body, and she fell silent.，，。Zijuan and the others hastily held her up, but the sweat only poured out the more, and her body gradually grew cold.，，，，！Tanchun and Li Wan had people bustling about to comb her hair and dress her properly, when all at once Daiyu's eyes rolled back — alas! Her fragrant soul, a single thread, scattered upon the wind; her sorrows, at the third watch, drifted far off into dream.

，，，，。When Xifeng reached Baoyu's quarters, she heard the doctor say there was no cause for alarm, and the Lady Dowager and Lady Wang felt somewhat relieved; Xifeng then, out of Baoyu's hearing, slowly and clearly reported the matter of Daiyu's death to them.。On hearing it, both the Lady Dowager and Lady Wang were given a great fright.：“。Tears streaming down her face, the Lady Dowager said: "It is I who have ruined her.！”，，，。And yet, that girl was really too foolish besides!" So saying, she wanted to go to the Garden at once to weep over her, yet she was also worried about Baoyu, and found she could not attend to both at once.，“。”，。Lady Wang and the others, restraining their own grief, all urged the Lady Dowager not to go over there — "Your health, Old Ancestress, matters most." The Lady Dowager, having no other choice, could only tell Lady Wang to go in her place.：“：‘，。She added further: "Tell her spirit on my behalf: it is not that I had the heart not to come and see her off — it is only that there is a difference between closer and more distant kin.，，，。You are my granddaughter through my daughter, and close kin indeed — but compared with Baoyu, still, Baoyu is closer to me than you.，。’”，。If something should happen to Baoyu, how could I ever face his father?" So saying, she began to weep again.：“，。Lady Wang consoled her, saying: "Miss Lin was the one Old Ancestress loved most of all, but the length of one's allotted life is fixed by fate.，，。Now that she has already died, there is nothing more we can do for her, except to see that the funeral rites are of the finest order.，，。”，。In this way, first, we can do something to satisfy our own hearts a little, and second, the spirits of our sister-in-law and her daughter may also find a measure of peace." On hearing this, the Lady Dowager wept all the more bitterly.，，：“。”，：“？”：“，。”，。Xifeng, fearing the old lady would grieve too much, and counting on the fact that Baoyu's mind was still rather unclear, secretly sent someone to tell a small lie to soothe the Lady Dowager, saying: "Baoyu is over there asking for you, Old Ancestress." Hearing this, the Lady Dowager checked her tears and asked, "Is there some other reason behind this?" Xifeng said with a smile, "No other reason — he's most likely just missing you, Old Ancestress." The Lady Dowager at once had Zhenzhu'er support her, and Xifeng followed along as well.

。Jia Mu came out and went over to Baochai's side.，。At that time Baochai had not yet made her third-day visit home, so whenever she saw people she still had a somewhat bashful air.，，。That day, seeing Jia Mu's face streaked with tears, she poured tea, and Jia Mu told her to sit.，：“，？”，，：“，，。Baochai sat down beside her at an angle to keep her company, and then asked, "I heard Lin meimei was ill — I wonder if she's gotten any better?" Hearing this, Jia Mu could not stop her tears from flowing, and said, "My child, let me tell you, but you mustn't tell Baoyu.，。It was all because of your Lin meimei that you were made to suffer so many grievances.，。Now that you've become his wife, I'll tell you.，。Your Lin meimei has been gone two or three days now — she died at the very hour you were being married.，，。”，，。This whole bout of illness Baoyu has now is still on her account. You were all in the garden before, so of course you understand it too." Baochai's face flushed crimson, and thinking of Daiyu's death, she too could not help but shed tears.。Jia Mu talked a while longer and then left.，，，。From then on Baochai turned the matter over a thousand times in her mind and thought up a plan, only she would not act rashly, so it was not until after her third-day visit home that she thought of this method.，。Now that he was indeed somewhat better, only then did everyone speak more freely, no longer as guarded as before.，，。Only Baoyu, though his illness improved day by day, could not shake off his obsessive grief, and insisted he must go in person to weep for her once.，，，。Jia Mu and the others, knowing his illness had not been rooted out, forbade him from indulging in wild thoughts, but there was no help for his gloom and distress, and his illness kept relapsing.，，，。It was the doctor who saw that this was a sickness of the heart, and said it would be better to let him vent it out freely, and then treat him with medicine afterward — that way he would recover faster.，。Hearing this, Baoyu wanted to go to Xiaoxiang Guan at once.，。Jia Mu and the others had no choice but to send someone to fetch a bamboo chair and help Baoyu sit in it.。Jia Mu and Wang furen went on ahead at once.，，。On arriving at Xiaoxiang Guan, at the sight of Daiyu's coffin, Jia Mu had already wept until her tears were spent and her breath failing.。Xifeng and the others urged her again and again to stop.。Wang furen also wept a good while.，。Li Wan then asked Jia Mu and Wang furen to rest in the inner room, though she herself kept shedding tears.

，，，。The moment Baoyu arrived, recalling how he had come here before he fell ill, and now the room remained but the person was gone, he could not help wailing aloud.，，。Recalling how close they had once been, how could this final parting in death not make him grieve all the more?，，，。Everyone, fearing Baoyu would grieve too much so soon after his illness, all came to comfort and dissuade him; Baoyu had already wept himself half-dead, and they all supported him to rest.，，。The rest who had come along, such as Baochai, all wept most bitterly as well.，。Only Baoyu insisted on having Zijuan brought to see him, so he could ask clearly what the young lady had said before she died.，，，，，，，，，。Zijuan had originally borne deep resentment toward Baoyu, but seeing him like this, her heart softened somewhat; and seeing that Jia Mu and Wang furen were both present, she did not dare vent her feelings on Baoyu, so she told him one by one how the young lady's illness had recurred, how she had burned the handkerchief, how she had burned her poem drafts, and what she had said just before dying.。Baoyu wept again until he choked and his throat went dry.。Tan Chun took the opportunity to also repeat once more Daiyu's dying instruction that her coffin be taken back south.。Jia Mu and Wang furen began weeping again.，，。It was fortunate that Xifeng was skilled with words and comforted them, so that they calmed down somewhat, and then asked Jia Mu and the others to go back.，，。Baoyu was reluctant to leave that place, but there was no help for it since Jia Mu pressed him, so he had to force himself to return to his room.

，，，，。Jia Mu, being advanced in years, had been unsettled day and night ever since Baoyu fell ill, and now, having wept so bitterly again, she already felt dizzy and feverish.，，。Though she was worried and anxious about Baoyu, she could not force herself to hold up any longer, and went back to her own room to lie down.，，，：“，。”，，。Wang furen's heart ached all the more unbearably, and she too went back, assigning Caiyun to help Xiren look after him, saying, "If Baoyu grieves again, come tell us at once." Baochai knew that for the time being Baoyu could not possibly let go of his feelings, so she did not try to advise him, only used sarcastic remarks to needle him.，。Baoyu, for his part, feared that Baochai might take it to heart, and so he swallowed his tears and reined in his feelings.，。He rested through the night and was actually quite peaceful.，，，。The next morning, everyone came to see him; though he felt weak in breath and body, the sickness of the heart seemed to have lessened somewhat.，。So they took extra care in nursing him, and he gradually recovered.，。Fortunately Jia Mu did not fall ill from it, only Wang furen's heartache had not yet healed.，，，。That day Aunt Xue came over to visit, and seeing Baoyu's spirits somewhat improved, she too set her mind at ease, and stayed on for the time being.

，：“，，。One day, Jia Mu specially invited Aunt Xue over to discuss matters, saying, "Baoyu's life was saved entirely thanks to you, Aunt — now it seems there's no more danger, only your daughter has been wronged.，，，。Now that Baoyu has been recuperating for a hundred days and his body has recovered, and your daughter's mourning obligations have also passed, it is just the right time for the marriage to be consummated.，。”：“，。I would ask you, Aunt, to take charge and choose another most auspicious day." Aunt Xue said, "Old Ancestress's idea is excellent, why ask me?，。Though Baochai is plain and unrefined in looks, at heart she is nonetheless extremely sensible.。Her temperament is something Old Ancestress has long known.，，，。I only hope the two of them live in harmony and accord — from then on Old Ancestress can also spare herself much worry, my sister too can find some comfort, and I myself will feel at ease.。Old Ancestress may simply fix a date.？”：“，，，。Should the relatives also be notified or not?" Jia Mu said, "Baoyu's marriage is the single greatest event of his life, and moreover it has cost so much trouble and twists and turns — now that things have finally settled into peace, we must have everyone make merry for several days.。All the relatives must be invited.，，。”，，。First, to fulfill a vow of thanks; second, so that we can all drink a cup of wedding wine — it will not have been in vain that this old woman of mine spent so much care over it." Hearing this, Aunt Xue was naturally pleased as well, and went on to mention arranging the dowry.：“，。Jia Mu said, "Ours is a marriage between kin already related by marriage — I don't think all that is necessary.，。As for household things for daily use, her room is already full of them.，。It must only be that there are a few pieces Baochai is especially fond of and wants from you, Aunt — just bring those over.，，。”，。I can see Baochai is not one to brood over trifles, not like the temperament of that outside granddaughter of mine — which is why she was not granted long life." As she spoke, even Aunt Xue was moved to tears.，：“？”：“，。”：“，，。”，：“，。Just then Xifeng came in and said with a smile, "What are Old Ancestress and Auntie thinking about again?" Aunt Xue said, "Old Ancestress and I were speaking of your Lin meimei, that's why we grew sad." Xifeng said with a smile, "Old Ancestress and Auntie, don't be sad for now — I just heard a funny story, and I mean to tell it to Old Ancestress and Auntie." Jia Mu wiped her tears and said with a faint smile, "Who knows who you're going to make fun of this time — go on, tell it, let me and your Aunt hear.。”，，。If it turns out not funny, we won't let you off." Just then, before Xifeng had even opened her mouth, she was already gesturing with both hands, laughing so hard she bent double at the waist.，。Not yet known what she was about to say — that will be told in the next chapter.

What it’s about

Baoyu refuses food and nears death after the wedding, still imagining that Baochai displaced Daiyu. Baochai judges that concealment is feeding the illness and tells him directly that Daiyu has died. His violent grief becomes a dream journey toward the underworld, where a guide says Daiyu cannot be found among ordinary ghosts because she has returned to the Realm of Great Void; Baoyu must preserve his allotted life if he hopes to meet her again. He wakes drenched in sweat but mentally clearer, and the doctor finds that grief has finally dispersed the blockage in his pulse. Baochai's painful disclosure succeeds where the family's therapeutic lie failed, though Baoyu's acceptance of the marriage remains mixed with resignation, dependence and recurring sorrow.

The narration then returns to the wedding night and supplies the death hidden from Baoyu. Daiyu asks Zijuan to keep her body undefiled and send it back south, then dies at the exact hour of the marriage, her last broken address accusing or blessing “Baoyu, Baoyu, you…” before speech fails. Music from the distant celebration fades into wind through the bamboo. The Lady Dowager confesses that the scheme has harmed Daiyu but stays with the closer male heir; only later does Baoyu visit the coffin, learn from Zijuan about the burned poems and handkerchiefs, and weep until he collapses. Open mourning at last lets his health begin to recover, and the elders turn toward arranging eventual consummation with Baochai after his convalescence and Daiyu's mourning period.

When it was written 背景

絳珠, the Crimson Pearl Flower, and 神瑛, the Divine Luminescent Stone attendant, recall the myth in chapter one: he watered the flower in the immortal realm, and she entered mortal life intending to repay that kindness with all her tears. Daiyu's death and Baoyu's exhaustive weeping bring that debt toward completion, while the return to the Realm of Great Void links household tragedy back to the novel's supernatural frame. Yet the chapter refuses to let myth beautify away neglect. Funeral preparations occur beside wedding arrangements, the matriarch explicitly ranks grandson over granddaughter, and servants provide the intimate care the kin group withholds. Baochai's blunt truth acts like a medical intervention: allowing grief to become conscious restores Baoyu's pulse. The contrast between managed secrecy and acknowledged loss makes mourning—not substitution—the chapter's genuine cure.
