第廿七章贾元春省亲大观园．秦可卿夜泣宁国(1/5)

王夫人等日日忙乱，直到十月将尽，幸皆全备：各处监管都交清帐目；各处古董文玩，皆已陈设齐备；采办鸟雀的，自仙鹤、孔雀以及鹿、兔、鸡、鹅等类，悉已买全，交于园中各处像景饲养；贾蔷那边也演出二十出杂戏来；小尼姑、道姑也都学会了念几卷经咒。贾政方略心意宽畅，又请贾母等进园，色色斟酌，点缀妥当，再无一些遗漏不当之处了。
                                                                                                                                                                于是贾政方择日题本。本上之日，奉朱批准奏：次年正月十五日上元之日，恩准贵妃省亲。
                                                                                                                                                                贾府领了此恩旨，益发昼夜不闲，年也不曾好生过的。至十五日五更，贾府合家上下便起身朝装工整了等待元妃凤驾。
                                                                                                                                                                直等到天黑上灯之时方有小太监急急的道“来了来了”果不出一会子，只见一队队的太监内臣挑着灯笼走来，后面方是八个太监抬着一顶金顶金黄绣凤版舆，缓缓行来……贾母等连忙路旁跪下。早飞跑过几个太监来，扶起贾母、邢夫人、王夫人来。
                                                                                                                                                                那版舆抬进大门、入仪门往东，去到一所院落门前，有执拂太监跪请下舆更衣。元妃更衣完毕，执事太监才请贾母王夫人等众女眷入内行礼。
                                                                                                                                                                元妃忙命人搀起来，赐了坐，就与贾母王夫人等搂作一团哭了起来。半日，贾妃方忍悲强笑，安慰贾母、王夫人道：“当日既送我到那不得见人的去处，好容易今日回家娘儿们一会，不说说笑笑，反倒哭起来。
                                                                                                                                                                一会子我去了，又不知多早晚才来！”说到这句，不禁又哽咽起来。哭了一会子方才止住。
                                                                                                                                                                元妃道：“为何不见薛姨妈、宝钗、黛玉？”王夫人忙启道：“外女未敢擅入。黛玉家中有事，前些日子回扬州去了。”元妃忙命人请了薛姨妈并宝钗。
                                                                                                                                                                二人行了礼，元妃拉着宝钗的手细细打量了一番，真是如娇花一般，真是越看越喜。便揽着在自己一侧坐了。
