第六十三章凸碧堂品笛感凄清．凹晶馆联诗悲(5/11)

                                                                                                                                 宝玉又仍在北郡王府中逗留不得回，探春又因近日家事着恼，无暇游玩。虽有迎春探春二人，偏又素日不大甚合。
                                                                                                                                                                所以只剩了湘云一人宽慰他，湘云也知道黛玉是中秋佳节思乡所致，因说：“你是个明白人，何必作此形像自苦。我也和你一样父母早亡，我就不似你这样心窄。
                                                                                                                                                                何况你又多病，还不自己保养。可恨宝姐姐，姐妹天天说亲道热，早已说今年中秋要大家一处赏月，必要起社，大家联句，到今日便弃了咱们，自己赏月去了。
                                                                                                                                                                社也散了，诗也不作了。倒是他们父子叔侄纵横起来。
                                                                                                                                                                你可知宋太祖说的好“卧榻之侧，岂许他人酣睡。”他们不作，咱们两个竟联起句来，明日羞他们一羞。”黛玉见他这般劝慰，不肯负他的豪兴，因笑道：“你看这里这等人声嘈杂，有何诗兴。”湘云笑道：“这山上赏月虽好，终不及近水赏月更妙。你知道这山坡底下就是池沿，山坳里近水一个所在就是凹晶馆。
                                                                                                                                                                可知当日盖这园子时就有学问，这山之高处，就叫凸碧；山之低洼近水，就叫作凹晶。这凸凹二字，历来用的人最少。
                                                                                                                                                                如今直用作轩馆之名，更觉新鲜，不落窠臼。可知这两处一上一下，一明一暗，一高一矮，一山一水，竟是特因玩月而设此处。
                                                                                                                                                                有爱那山高月小的，便往这里来；有爱那皓月清波的，便往那里去。只是这两个字俗念作“洼”“拱”二音，便说俗了，不大见用，只陆放翁用了一个“凹”字，说“古砚微凹聚墨多”，还有人批他俗，岂不可笑。”林黛玉道：“也不只放翁才用，古人中用者太多。
