It is said that when Baoyu heard Sheyue's words, she leaned back and died again. She was so anxious that Mrs. Wang couldn't stop crying.Sheyue knew that her slip of the tongue would cause disaster, and Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to talk about her at this time.Sheyue cried while making up her mind, thinking: If Baoyu dies, I will kill myself and go with him.Don't talk about what is in Sheyue's heart, and say that Mrs. Wang rushed to ask people to come out to seek treatment from the monk when she saw that she couldn't come back.Unexpectedly, when Jia Zheng went in and out, the monk had disappeared.Jia Zheng was surprised. Hearing the noise inside, he hurried in. Seeing that Baoyu was the same as before, his mouth was tightly shut and his pulse was gone.When I touched my heart with my hand, it was still warm.Jia Zheng had no choice but to ask a doctor to pour medicine for treatment.

But Baoyu's soul has already left her body.Do you think you are dead?But it turned out that he rushed to the front hall in a trance, saw the monk who gave the jade sitting, and saluted him.Monk Nazhi stood up, took Baoyu and left.Baoyu followed the monk, feeling as light as a leaf, fluttering, and didn't go out of the gate, but walked out from there.After walking for a while, I arrived at a wild place, and saw an archway from a distance, as if I had been there before.When I was about to ask the monk, I saw a woman coming in a trance.Baoyu thought to himself: In such a wild place, there must be such a beautiful woman, it must be a fairy.Thinking about it, Baoyu came closer and took a closer look. She actually recognized some of them, but she couldn't remember them for a while.Seeing the woman face to face with the monk, she disappeared.When Baoyu thought about it, she actually looked like Third Sister You, and wondered even more: why is she here too?When he was about to ask again, the monk took Baoyu past the archway, and saw that there were four big characters on the plaque, with a pair of couplets on both sides, which read:

False to true, true to false, nothing is right and wrong. Turning around the archway, there is a palace gate.There are four big characters written horizontally on the door: good fortune, good fortune, misfortune and misfortune.There is another pair, the big book says: the past and the future cannot be broken by wisdom and virtuousness; Baoyu looked at it and thought to himself: So it is!I would like to ask about the coming and going of cause and effect.Thinking about it this way, I saw Yuanyang standing there, beckoning to him.Baoyu thought, "I've been walking for half a day, but I never left the garden. Why did I change my appearance?"I was in a hurry to talk to the mandarin duck, but I didn't know it disappeared in a blink of an eye, and I couldn't help but feel puzzled.Walking to the place where Yuanyang stands, there is a row of side halls, with plaques everywhere.Baoyu didn't want to look at it, but ran to where Yuanyang stood.Seeing that the door of the side hall was ajar, Baoyu didn't dare to go in again, and was about to ask the monk in his heart, but when he turned around, the monk had long since disappeared.Baoyu was in a trance, seeing that the towering palace was by no means the scene of the Grand View Garden, so he stood up and looked up at the plaque that read: Induce love and infatuation.The couplet written on both sides says:

Joy, laughter and sorrow are all fake, and greed and longing are always due to ignorance. Baoyu looked at it, nodded and sighed.I want to go in to find Yuanyang, and ask her where she is.After thinking about it carefully, he knew him very well, so he bravely opened the door and went in.I looked around the house, but there were no mandarin ducks, it was just dark inside.I was afraid in my heart, and was about to exit, when I saw more than a dozen large cabinets, the doors of which were half closed.Baoyu suddenly remembered: I dreamed of going to this place when I was young.It is a great honor to be here in person now.

In a daze, I forgot the idea of ​​looking for mandarin ducks.So he bravely opened the door of the big cabinet above and saw that there were several booklets.I felt more like it in my heart, and thought: Most people say that their dreams are false, but they don't know that there is such a thing if there is such a dream.I often say that I still want to have this dream, if I can’t do it anymore, unexpectedly I found it today.But I don't know if the booklet is the one I've seen before?He reached out and took a copy from the top, on which was written "The Original Book of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling".Baoyu held it and thought, "I remember that in a trance, but I just wish I couldn't remember clearly."Then he opened the first page and looked at it.There are paintings on it, but the traces of the paintings are blurred and can't be seen anymore.There are a few lines of handwriting in the back, which are not clear, but can be imitated, so I looked carefully and saw a jade belt with a word like Lin on it. I thought to myself: Don't you mean sister Lin?Then he looked carefully, and there was the word "Jinzan Xueli" at the bottom. He was surprised and said, "Why does it look like her name?"Fu read the four sentences before and after together, and said: There is no reason, but it is not surprising that her two names are hidden.Only the word pity and sigh is not good.How to solve this?Thinking of that, he spat to himself: I was watching secretly. If I just think about it, if someone comes, I won't be able to see it.Then I looked back, and I didn't have time to play with the drawing carefully, so I just looked at it from the beginning.Seeing the ending, there are a few words, what is the meaning of meeting the big dream, and suddenly realized: Yes!Sure enough, the agency is upset, this must be sister Yuanchun.If everyone understands this way, I will copy it and play with it carefully. Those sisters have a long life and a poor life.When I go back, I will not reveal it since I go back. I only want to be a person who does not know the future, and I save a lot of idle thinking.I looked around again, but there were no pens and inkstones, and I was afraid that people would come, so I had to look around.I saw a kite-flying person in Yingying on the picture, but I didn't want to look at it.Hastily read all the twelve poems.There are also things that you can know at a glance, some that you can get at a thought, and some that you don't quite understand, so keep them firmly in your heart.While sighing, he took a look at the "Jinling Youfu Volume" again, and saw that the enviable actor is blessed, who knows that the young master Wuyuan didn't understand it before, and saw the shadow of the flower mat on it, so he burst into tears.

Looking back later, I heard someone say: You are in a daze again!Sister Lin invites you.It sounds like a mandarin duck, but when you turn around, you can't see anyone.I was startled and suspicious in my heart, when Yuanyang suddenly waved outside the door.When Baoyu saw it, he was so happy that he rushed out.But seeing the mandarin ducks walking in shadows, they just couldn't keep up.Baoyu shouted, "Good sister!"Wait for me.The mandarin duck ignored it and just walked forward.Baoyu had no choice but to rush as hard as he could.Suddenly, there is a hole in the sky, with towering pavilions and exquisite corners, and there are many palace ladies looming among them.Baoyu was so greedy for the scenery that he forgot about the mandarin ducks.Baoyu walked into a palace gate, and there were strange flowers and plants in it, which he couldn't recognize.There is only a green grass surrounded by white stone flower rings, the leaves are slightly red, but I don't know what the name of the grass is, so precious.I saw that where the breeze moved, the green grass was swaying endlessly. Although it was just a small grass without flowers, its charming appearance made my heart feel happy and my soul fade away.

Baoyu just stared blankly, only to hear a person next to him say, "Where are you a fool, spying on the fairy grass here?"When Baoyu heard this, she was taken aback. When she looked back, she was a fairy.Excuse me, sister fairy, where is this place?Why did my elder sister Yuanyang come here and still say that younger sister Lin called me?Hope to beg expressly.The man said: Who knows your sisters and sisters!I am in charge of the fairy grass, and no mortals are allowed to stay here.Baoyu wanted to come out, but he couldn't bear it, so he had to say, "sister fairy, since she is the one who manages the fairy grass, she must be the sister of the flower god."But what are the benefits of this grass?The fairy said: You have to know this grass, it's a long story.The herb is on the bank of the Ling River, and it's called crimson bead grass.Because of the withering at that time, fortunately, a waiter of Shenying irrigated it with nectar every day, and he was able to live forever.Later, he descended to the mortal world and repaid the grace of irrigation, and now he returns to the real world.So Fairy Jing Huan ordered me to take care of it, so as not to let the bee entangle the butterfly love.Baoyu was puzzled when he heard this, and he was suspicious that he must have met the flower god. Today, he must not miss it face to face, so he asked: "The one who cares about this grass is the fairy sister."There are countless famous flowers, there must be someone who takes care of them, and I dare not bother to ask, but who is the god who takes care of the hibiscus flowers?The fairy said: "I don't know, except my master Fang Xiao."Baoyu then asked, "Who is the master of my sister?"The fairy said: "My master is Xiaoxiang concubine."Baoyu heard, "Yes!"You don't know that this concubine is my cousin Lin Daiyu.The fairy said: Nonsense!This place is the home of the Goddess of the Upper Realm. Although she is called Xiaoxiang Concubine, she is not of the generation of Ehuang or Nvying, so how can she have any relationship with ordinary people?Don't come here and talk about it, just watch and ask Lishi to beat you out.

Baoyu was startled when he heard this, but felt that he was filthy. He was about to leave when he heard someone coming and said, "The waiter Shenying is called inside."The man said: I have been ordered to wait for a long time, but no waiter from Shenying has come, where do you want me to go?That one smiled and said: Didn't you just retreat?The maid hurried out and said: Please waiter Shenying come back.Baoyu only asked others, but was afraid of being chased, so he staggered and fled.As he was walking, he saw a man holding a sword in his hand and stopped him, saying, "Where are you going!"Baoyu was terrified and panicked.Boldly looking up, it was none other than Third Sister You.When Baoyu saw it, he calmed down a little and said, "Sister, why are you here to force me?"The man said: None of your brothers are good people, they ruin their reputations and their marriages.If you come here today, I will not spare you!Baoyu heard that the words were not good, and she was in a hurry, only to hear someone shouting from behind: "Sister, stop quickly!"Don't let him go.Third Sister You said: "I am ordered by my concubine. I have been waiting for a long time. When I see you today, I will definitely cut off your fate with a sword."After Baoyu heard this, he became more and more busy, but he didn't understand what these words meant, so he had to turn around and run.Unexpectedly, it was not someone else who spoke behind her, but Qingwen.When Baoyu saw it, he was filled with sorrow and joy, and said, "I have lost my way alone. I met my enemy. I want to escape, but I don't see you alone following me."It's all right now, Sister Qingwen, hurry up and take me home.Qingwen said, "don't be suspicious, waiter. I'm not Qingwen. I'm ordered by my concubine. I'm here to invite you for a while. It's not difficult for you."Baoyu was full of suspicion, so he had to ask: "My sister said it was a concubine who called me. Who is that concubine?"Qingwen said: "You don't need to ask at this time. When you get there, you will know it naturally."Baoyu had no choice but to follow.Looking closely at the behavior behind that person, it was Qingwen: that face and voice are pretty good, why did she say no?My mind is fuzzy at this moment.And don't worry about her, when you get there, if you see the concubine, you will be wrong, and then I will beg her.After all, a woman's heart is compassionate, so please forgive my rashness.

Just thinking about it, I arrived at a place soon.I saw exquisite palaces, brilliant colors, a clump of green bamboo in the courtyard, and several green pines outside.There are several maids standing under the eaves of the corridor, all dressed in palace makeup. When they saw Baoyu coming in, they whispered: "Is this the waiter Shenying?"Leading Baoyu to say, "Yes."You go in and report it.A maid smiled and waved, and Baoyu followed.After passing several floors of houses, I saw a main room with bead curtains hanging high.The maid said: "Stand waiting for the order."After Baoyu heard this, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to wait outside.Not long after the maid went in, she came out and said: Please see the waiter.Another person rolled up the bead curtain.I saw a woman, wearing a flower crown and embroidered clothes, sitting inside.Baoyu raised his head slightly, seeing that it was Daiyu's description, he couldn't help saying: "My sister is here!"Make me want to.The maid outside the curtain said quietly: This waiter is rude, get out quickly!Before I finished talking, I saw another servant put down the bead curtain.At this time, Baoyu wanted to stay in but dared not, and wanted to leave but was unwilling to give up.When I asked about it, I saw that the maids didn't recognize them, and they were expelled again, so they had no choice but to come out.I wanted to ask Qingwen, but I looked around, but there was no Qingwen.Suspicious in my heart, I had no choice but to come out sullenly, and no one was leading me. I was about to find the same way, but I couldn't find the old way.

When I was in trouble, I saw Sister Feng standing under the eaves of a house and waving.When Baoyu saw it, he liked it and said, "That's great!"It turned out that he had returned to his own home.Why am I so confused for a while?He rushed forward and said: "Is my sister here? I was teased by these people to this extent, and my sister Lin refused to see me. I don't know why?"As he said that, he walked to the place where Sister Feng was standing. Looking closely, it was not Sister Feng, but it turned out to be Jia Rong's ex-wife, Qin Shi.Baoyu had no choice but to stand still and ask where Sister Feng was.The Qin family didn't answer, but went into the house by itself.Baoyu was in a trance and didn't dare to follow in, so he stood there blankly and sighed: "What's wrong with me today, everyone ignores me."Then wept bitterly.Seeing a few yellow turban wrestlers rushing over with whips, they said: "Where are men dare to break into our blessed land of heaven and earth, go out quickly!"Baoyu heard it, but dared not speak.Just as he was about to find his way out, he saw a group of women joking and coming from afar.When Baoyu looked at it, it seemed that Yingchun was waiting for a group of people to come. He liked it in his heart and shouted, "I'm fascinated here. Come and save me!"Just as he was shouting, the wrestlers came from behind.Baoyu ran forward in a hurry, and suddenly saw that the group of women had turned into ghosts and came to hunt them down.

Baoyu was in a hurry when he saw the monk who brought the jade hold a mirror in his hand and said, "I am here to save you at the will of the imperial concubine Yuan."At that time, there were no ghosts and ghosts, and it was still a wilderness.Baoyu pulled the monk and said, "I remember you led me here, but you disappeared for a while."I saw many relatives, but they just ignored me, and suddenly turned into ghosts again. Is it a dream or real?I hope the teacher understands the instructions.The monk said: "Did you peek at anything when you came here?"Baoyu thought for a moment: since he can take me to the blessed land of heaven, he is also a god. How can I hide it from him?Sideways: I have seen a lot of brochures.The monk said: But come again!After seeing the booklet, don’t you still understand?Love in the world is all about those demonic obstacles.Just remember what you have experienced carefully, and I will explain it to you in the future.Then, he pushed Baoyu fiercely and said, "Go back!"Baoyu couldn't stand on his feet. He fell down and shouted, "Ah yo!" Mrs. Wang was crying, when she heard Baoyu Su come, she called out quickly.When Baoyu opened his eyes to look, he was still lying on the kang, and saw Mrs. Wang, Baochai and others crying with red and swollen eyeballs.After thinking about it, I said in my heart: Yes, I came from death.Then he thought about what he had experienced in a daze, and fortunately Xiduo still remembered it, so he laughed and said: Yes, yes!Mrs. Wang only said that the old illness had relapsed, so she could extend the medical treatment, and ordered the girl and mother-in-law to tell Jia Zheng quickly, saying that Baoyu had come back.In my head, my heart was fascinated, but now I speak, I don't have to prepare for the funeral.After hearing this, Jia Zheng hurried in to have a look. When he saw Baoyu Su coming, he said, "No idiot, are you going to scare someone to death!"As he spoke, tears flowed down unconsciously.Sighing a few more times, he still went out to call for a doctor to take a pulse and take medicine. Here musk moon was thinking of committing suicide, and when she saw Baoyu coming, she was relieved.Mrs. Wang asked someone to serve longan soup, told him to drink a few sips, and gradually regained his composure.Mrs. Wang was relieved, and she didn't say anything about Sheyue, but asked people to still hand over the jade to Baochai for him to take.Thinking of the monk, where did you find this jade?Also weird.Why do you ask for silver for a while and then disappear? Could it be a fairy?Baochai said: "Speaking of the traces of the monk's coming and the influence of his going, the jade was not found."When it is thrown in the head, it must be taken by the monk.Mrs. Wang said: "The jade is at home, how can I get it?"Baochai said: "If you can send it, you can take it away."Xiren and Sheyue said: "When I lost the jade that year, Uncle Lin tested a character. Later, the second grandma passed the door, and I told the second grandma what the word was for reward."Do you still remember the second grandma?Baochai thought: Yes!You said that the test was found in a pawn shop, but now I understand that it is actually a monk with the word Shang on it. Didn't the monk take it?Mrs. Wang said: "That monk is weird at first."When Baoyu was ill that year, the monk said that our family had a treasure to explain, and he was talking about this piece of jade.Since he knew, naturally this piece of jade has some origins.Besides, your son-in-law kept it in his mouth after he was raised.Throughout the ages, have you ever heard of such a second one?It's just that I don't know what happened to this piece of jade, even we don't know what happened to it.Illness is also this piece of jade, goodness is also this piece of jade, and life is also this piece of jade. Speaking of this, I suddenly stopped, and I couldn't help but shed tears again.Baoyu heard this, but he also understood in his heart that there are more reasons for wanting to die. He just doesn't speak, but remembers carefully in his heart. At that time, Xichun said: "When I lost the jade that year, I asked Miaoyu to invite the immortal, saying that it was an ancient pine tree under the Qinggeng peak. What else can I say for a smile."Thinking of it, the three characters of entering my family are very particular.Buddhism is the biggest way, I'm afraid my second brother can't get in.Baoyu sneered again after hearing this.Hearing this, Baochai frowned unconsciously and became startled.You Shi said: "If you say it, it's Buddhism again."Have you not stopped thinking about becoming a monk?Xichun smiled and said: To tell you the truth, my sister-in-law, I have already given up meat.Mrs. Wang said: Good boy, Amitabha!This idea is out of reach.Xichun listened, but said nothing.Baoyu couldn't help sighing a few times thinking of the poems in front of the ancient Buddha with the blue lantern.Suddenly I remembered the poem about a mat and a flower, looked at Xiren with my eyes, and shed tears again unconsciously.Everyone saw him laughing and sad, but they didn't understand what it meant, they only thought it was his old disease.Unexpectedly, Baoyu was able to memorize all the verses in the peeking book when he got the chance, but he didn't say it, because he had a prejudice in his heart, let's not mention it for now. It is said that when people saw Baoyu die and come back to life, they were refreshed, and they took medicine for days, gradually recovering day by day.It was Jia Zheng who saw that Baoyu was ready, and Ding You was fine now. He remembered that Jia Amnesty would not know when he would be amnesty, and the old lady's coffin had been parked in the temple for a long time.Jia Lian then said, "Master thinks very well."Now it's better to take advantage of Ding You and do something big.In the future, when the master starts to serve, he is afraid that he will not be able to do what he wants.But my father is not at home, and my nephew dare not presume.The master's idea is very good, but this matter also costs thousands of silver.If the stolen goods are seized in the Yamen, they will never be seized again.Jia Zhengdao: "My idea is decided, just because the uncle is not at home, I asked you to come and discuss it. What can I do?"You are not allowed to go out. There is no one here now, so I have to take several materials back. How can one person take care of me?I thought of taking Brother Rong there, and besides, his wife's coffin was also inside.And your sister Lin's, it was the old lady's last words, saying that she would go back with the old lady.I thought that for this item of money, I had to borrow a few thousand from there, and that would be enough.Jia Lian said: "Today's human feelings are too weak."The master is worried about Ding; our master is outside again.I couldn't borrow it for a while, so I had to take the real estate documents and go out to escort it.Jia Zhengdao: "The house I live in is built by the government. Where can I move it?"Jia Lian said: "The house cannot be moved."There are still a few houses outside that can be released, and they can be redeemed after the master recovers.When my father comes back in the future, if he can use it again, it will be a good redemption.It's just that at such an old age, the nephews are really uneasy after working so hard.Jia Zheng said: "The old lady's business should be done."As long as you are more cautious at home, you will be fine.Jia Lian said: "Master, just rest assured. Although my nephew is confused, I dare not take it seriously."What's more, when the master returns to the south, he must bring more people there, and the number of people left behind is limited. The cost of this idea is still affordable.Even if the master's road is short and must pass through Lai Shangrong's place, he can also ask him to do his best.Jia Zhengdao: "Why do you ask others to help you with your old man's affairs?"Jia Lian agreed, and then withdrew, thinking about money. Jia Zheng told Mrs. Wang to take care of the house, and he chose a day to start his long journey, and he was about to get up.At this time, Baoyu recovered physically, Jia Huan and Jia Lan were serious about studying, and Jia Zheng was handed over to Jia Lian to discipline him. This year is the year of Dabi.Huan'er has clothes, so she can't enter the arena.Lan'er is a grandson, and he can take the exam if he is full.Be sure to ask Baoyu to take the exam with his nephew. If he wins one of the candidates, he can atone for our crimes.Jia Lian and others obeyed their orders.Jia Zheng ordered the people at home and said a lot before leaving the ancestral hall. After reading scriptures outside the city for a few days, he was led off the boat and took Lin Zhixiao and others away.It didn't alarm relatives and friends, only the men and women of my own family sent a ride back. Because Jia Zheng ordered Baoyu to take the exam, Mrs. Wang urged him from time to time to check his homework.Baochai and Xiren often exhort, needless to say.Who knows that after Baoyu's illness, although his spirit has grown day by day, his thoughts have become more outlandish, and he has changed.It's just that everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and Baoyu didn't say it. One day, when Zijuan came back from sending Lin Daiyu's coffin, she sat in her room and cried, thinking: "Baoyu is ruthless. Seeing his sister Lin's coffin go back, she didn't cry sadly. Seeing me cry like this, she didn't come to comfort me." , looking back at me and laughing.Such heartless people used to coax us with sweet words.Fortunately, I was able to think about it the night before, otherwise, I almost fell into his trick again.It's just one thing that is puzzling. Now I see him treating attackers coldly.The second mistress didn't like being intimate, wouldn't those people like Sheyue complain about her?I think the girls are mostly infatuated, they spent all their time in vain to see how it will end in the future.Just thinking about it, I saw Wu'er coming to see her, seeing Zijuan's face full of tears, and said: "Sister misses Miss Lin again?"Thinking of a person, being famous is not as good as being seen, hearing in my head that it is the best to be in front of the girl of Bao Erye, my mother repeatedly brought me in.Unexpectedly, I came in, and served several illnesses with all my heart and soul, and now I have recovered from my illness, and I have not even left a good word, and now I simply don't even look at it.Hearing what she said was funny, Zicuckoo gave a chuckle and spat: Bah, you little hoof!How do you want Baoyu to treat you?Girls are not ashamed!Even the fair-minded people in the room saw that he was okay, there were a lot of people, so I have time to ignore you!Yin smiled and wiped his face with a finger, and asked, "Who are you from Baoyu?"When Wu'er heard this, he knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he blushed.When I want to explain, I don't want Baoyu to think about it. He said that he didn't feel sorry for him recently. He just heard the noise outside the courtyard gate: "The monk outside is here again, and he wants the ten thousand silver."The wife was in a hurry and asked the second master Lian to talk to him, but the second master Lian was not at home.The monk was talking crazy outside, and the wife asked the second mistress to discuss it.I don't know how to get rid of the monk. I will break it down next time.
