朗读这篇文章

第四折 团圆

（法本上云）老僧昨日买登科录，看张先生果然及第，除授河中府尹。谁想夫人没主张，又许了郑恒亲事，不肯去接。老僧将着肴馔，直至十里长亭，接官走一遭。

（法本下）

（杜将军上云）奉圣旨，着小官主兵蒲关，提调河中府事。谁想君瑞兄弟一举及第，正授河中府尹，一定乘此机会成亲。小官牵羊担酒，直至老夫人宅上，一来贺喜，二来主亲。左右那里？将马来，到河中府走一遭。

（杜将军下）

（夫人上云）谁想张生负了俺家，去卫尚书家做女婿去了。只索不负老相公遗言，还招郑恒为婿。今日是个好日子过门，准备下筵席，郑恒敢待来也。

（夫人下）

（张生上云）小官奉圣旨，正授河中府尹。今日衣锦还乡，小姐凤冠霞帔都将着，见呵，双手索送过去。谁想有今日也呵！文章旧冠乾坤内，姓字新闻日月^[1]边。

〔双调·新水令〕（张生唱）

一鞭骄马出皇都，

畅风流玉堂人物。

今朝三品职，

昨日一寒儒。

御笔新除，

将姓名翰林注。

〔驻马听〕

张珙如愚，

酬志^[2]了三尺龙泉万卷书；

莺莺有福，

稳受了五花官诰七香车。

身荣难忘借僧居，

愁来犹记题诗处。

从应举，

梦魂不离蒲东路。

（到寺科，云）接了马者！

（见夫人拜云）新探花河中府尹张珙参见。

（夫人云）休拜，休拜！你是奉圣旨的女婿，我怎消受得你拜？

〔乔牌儿〕

我躬身问起居，

夫人你慈色^[3]为谁怒？

我只见丫鬟使数都厮觑，

莫不是我身边有甚事故？

（张生云）小生去时，承夫人亲自饯行，喜不自胜。今朝得官回来，夫人反行不悦，何也？

（夫人云）你如今那里想俺家？道不得个“靡不有初，鲜克有终”。我一个女孩儿，虽然妆残貌陋，他父为前朝相国，若非贼来，足下甚气力到得俺家？今日一旦置之度外，却与卫尚书家作赘，是何道理？

（张生云）夫人，你听谁说来？若有此事，天不盖，地不载，害老大疔疮！

〔雁儿落〕

若说丝鞭^[4]仕女图，

端的是塞满章台路^[5]。

小生向此间怀旧恩，

怎肯别处寻亲去。

〔得胜令〕

岂不闻“君子断其初”，

我怎肯忘了有恩处？

那一个贼畜生行嫉妒，

走将来厮间阻？

不能彀娇姝^[6]，

早晚施心数；

说来的无徒^[7]，

迟和疾上木驴^[8]。

（夫人云）是郑恒说来，绣球儿打着马，做了女婿也。你不信，唤红娘来问。

（红娘上云）我巴不得见他，元来得官回来。惭愧，这是非对着也。

（张生问云）红娘，小姐好么？

（红云）为你做了卫尚书女婿，俺小姐依旧嫁郑恒去了也。

（张生云）有这蹊跷事！

〔庆东原〕

那里有粪堆上长出连枝树，

淤泥中双游比目鱼？

不明白展污了姻缘簿？

莺莺呵，

你嫁得个油炸猢狲^[9]的丈夫；

红娘呵，

你伏侍个烟薰猫儿的姐夫；

张生呵，

你撞着个水浸老鼠的姨夫。

坏了风俗，

伤了时务。

〔乔木查〕（红娘唱）

妾前来拜复，

省可心头怒！

自别来安乐否？

你那新夫人何处居？

比小姐定何如？

（张生云）和你也葫芦提了。小生为小姐受过的苦，别人不知，瞒不得你。甫能彀今日，焉有是理？

〔搅筝琶〕

小生若别有媳妇，

只目下便身殂。

我怎忘了待月回廊，

撇了吹箫伴侣。

我是受了活地狱，

下了死工夫，

甫能彀为夫妇。

我现将着夫人诰敕^[10]，

县君名称，

怎生待欢天喜地，

两只手儿亲付与。

他划地^[11]把我葬诬。

（红对夫人云）我道张生不是这般人，只请小姐出来自问他。

（请云）小姐，张生来了，你出来正好问他。

（莺莺上云）我来了。

（相见科）

（张生云）小姐间别无恙？

（莺莺云）先生万福！

（红云）小姐，有的言语和他说么？

（莺莺吁云）待说甚的是！

〔沉醉东风〕（莺莺唱）

不见时准备著千言万语，

到相逢都变做短叹长吁。

他急攘攘却才来，

我羞答答怎生觑。

腹中愁却待伸诉，

及至相逢一句也无。

刚道个“先生万福”。

（莺莺云）张生，俺家有甚负你？你见弃妾身，去卫尚书家为婿，此理安在？

（张生云）谁说来？

（莺莺云）郑恒在夫人行说来。

（张生云）小姐，如何听这厮？小生之心，惟天可表！

〔落梅风〕

从离了蒲东郡，

来到京兆府，

见佳人世不曾回顾。

硬揣^[12]个卫尚书女儿为了眷属，

曾见他影儿的也教灭门绝户。

此一桩事，都在红娘身上，我只将言语激着他，看他说甚么？红娘，我问人来，说道你与小姐将简帖儿唤郑恒来。

（红云）痴人，我不合与你作成，你便看得一般了。

〔甜水令〕（红娘唱）

君瑞先生，

不索踌躇，

何须忧虑。

那厮本意糊涂；

俺家世清白，

祖宗贤良，

相国名誉。

我怎肯去他跟前，

寄简传书？

〔折桂令〕（红娘唱）

那吃敲才^[13]口里嚼蛆，

数黑论黄^[14]，

恶紫夺朱。

俺小姐便做道软弱囊揣，

怎嫁那不值钱人样豭驹^[15]。

爱你个俏东君与莺花做主，

怎肯将嫩枝柯折与樵夫。

那厮本意嚣虚，

将足下亏图，

我有口难言，

气夯破胸脯。

（红云）张生，你若端的不曾做女婿呵，我去夫人跟前一力保你。等那厮来，你和他两个对证。

（崔夫人云）张生并不曾人家做女婿，都是郑恒谎说，等他两个对证。

（夫人云）既然他不曾呵，等郑恒来对证了，再做说话。

（法本上云）谁想张生一举成名，正授河中府尹。老僧接官到了，再去夫人那里庆贺。这门亲事，当初也有老僧来，如何夫人没主张，便待要与郑恒。若与了他，府尹今日来，却怎生了也？

（相见毕）

（禀夫人云）夫人，今日始知老僧说得是，张先生决不是这等没行止的秀才。他如何敢忘了夫人？况兼杜将军是证见，如何悔得他这亲事？

〔雁儿落〕（法本唱）

杜将军笑孙庞真下愚，

论贾马非英物；

正授着征西元帅府，

兼领得陕右河中路。

〔得胜令〕

是君前者护身符，

今日有权术。

来时节定把先生助，

决将贼子诛。

他不识亲疏，

掇赚良人妇；

君若不辨贤愚，

便是无毒不丈夫。

（夫人云）着小姐卧房里去者。

（莺莺、红娘下）

（杜将军上云）小官离了蒲关，早到普救寺也。

（张生见杜，拜毕）

（张生云）小弟托兄长虎威，得中一举。今日回来，本待做亲。有夫人的侄儿郑恒，来夫人行，说小弟在卫尚书家入赘。夫人怒欲悔亲，依旧要将小姐与郑恒。道不得个“烈女不更二夫^[16]”？

（杜云）夫人差矣！俺君瑞也是礼部尚书之子，况兼又得一举。夫人誓不招白衣秀士，今日反欲罢亲，莫于理上不顺！

（夫人云）当初夫主在时，曾许下那厮，不想遇难，多亏张生请将军杀退贼众。老身不负前言，招他为婿。叵耐那厮说他在卫尚书家招赘，因此上我怒他，依旧要与郑恒。

（杜云）他是贼心，可知妄生诽谤。老夫人如何便轻信他？

（郑恒上云）打扮得齐齐整整的，只等做女婿。今日好日头，牵羊担酒，过门走一遭去。

（相见科）

（张生云）郑恒，你来怎么？

（郑云）苦也！闻知状元回，特来贺喜。

（杜云）你这厮怎么要诓骗良人的妻子，行不仁之事。我奏闻朝廷，诛此贼子。

〔落梅风〕（杜将军唱）

你硬撞入桃源路，

不言个谁是主。

被东风把你个蜜蜂儿拦住。

不信呵你去绿杨影里听杜宇^[17]，

一声声道“不如归去”。

（杜云）那厮若不去呵，祗候人拿下者！

（郑云）不必拿，小人自退亲事与张生罢。

（夫人云）将军息怒，赶出去便罢。

（郑云）今日莺莺与君瑞为夫妇，有何面目见江东父老？我要这性命何用，不如触树身死。

妻子空争不到手，

风流自古恋风流；

何须苦用千般计，

一旦无常万事休。

（倒科）

（夫人云）俺虽不曾逼死他，可怜他无父母，俺做主葬了者。

（杜云）请小姐出来，今日做个庆贺的筵席，看他两口儿成合者。

（张生、莺莺拜夫人科，又交拜科，又拜杜将军科）

（红娘拜张生、莺莺科）

〔沽美酒〕

门迎驷马车，

户列八椒图^[18]。

娶了个四德三从宰相女，

平生愿足，

托赖着众亲故。

〔太平令〕

若不是大恩人拔刀相助，

怎能个好夫妻似水如鱼。

好意也当时题目，

正酬了今生夫妇。

自古、相女、配夫，

新探花新探花路。

（使臣上，众拜科）

〔清江引〕

谢当今垂帘双圣主，

敕赐为夫妇。

永老无别离，

万古常圆聚，

愿天下有情的都成了眷属。

Scene 4 Union

Faben the Abbot enters and says:

Yesterday I bought a list of winners at the imperial examinations and found Master Zhang’s name in it.He has been appointed prefect of the Mid-River Prefecture.Who would have thought that Madame Cui has promised her daughter to Zheng Heng and would not welcome Master Zhang?What could I do but prepare a feast instead and go to welcome the new official.

(Exit.)

General Du enters and says:

By imperial decree I was appointed commander at the Pu Pass in charge of military affairs in the Mid-River Prefecture.Unexpectedly my sworn brother Junrui has won high honor in civil service examinations and has been appointed prefect of the Mid-River.To be sure,he will avail himself of this opportunity to celebrate his wedding.I am going with the presents of sheep and wine to the residence of Madame Cui so as to offer her my congratulations on the one hand and to act as go-between on the other hand.Attendants,bring my horse here.I am going to pay a visit to the Mid-River Prefecture.

(Exit.)

Madame Cui enters and says:

Who would have thought that Master Zhang has betrayed our trust and become son-in law of President Wei?What can I do but marry my daughter to Zheng Heng in accordance with the dying wish of my late husband.Today is a lucky date for marriage.I will get ready the wedding feast for Zheng Heng.

(Exit.)

Master Zhang enters and says:

Appointed prefect of the Mid-River Prefecture by the imperial decree,I am returning in glory today.My dear Young Lady will wear her phoenix headdress and rainbow veil,which I will present to her with both hands.Who would have thought today would arrive at last!

(Singing)

My writing outshone earth and sky;

My name is wellknown far and nigh.

He sings to the tune of NEW WATER MELODY:

Whip in hand,on proud steed I leave the capital

To be a gallant husband in Jade Hall.

Poor student yesterday,

I hold the third rank today.

By His Majesty’s decree

My name is in Imperial Academy.

Tune: HALTING THE HORSE

Foolish as Zhang Gong looks,

He’s not belied his precious sword and countless books.

Happy will Yingying be found

To receive Five-Flowered rank and chariot she’s bound.

In glory I can’t forget the temple remote,

Nor the poems which in sorrow I wrote.

Since I went to the capital,

My dream has never left the temple hall.

Master Zhang,arriving at the monastery,says:

Take my horse!

(Seeing Madame Cui and bowing)

Zhang Gong who has passed with honor the imperial examinations and has been appointed prefect of the Mid-River Prefecture makes his bows to Madame.

Madame Cui says:

Don’t bow!Don’t bow!You are the son-in-law of another family which has received an imperial decree.How can I be worthy of the bows from you?

Master Zhang sings to the tune of PSEUDO-MELODY:

After your health I have come to inquire.

What has aroused,Madame,your ire?

Maids and attendants exchange strange glances,I see.

Is there anything wrong with me?

He says:

When I left,Madame,you were delighted to give me a farewell feast.Now I have obtained office on my return,why do you look displeased unexpectedly?

Madame Cui says:

What you care about my family now?It is said in the Book of Poetry:

“At first they’re good on earth,

But few last to the end.”

At first you loved my daughter who,though not beautiful enough,had a father as prime minister.If it had not been for the siege of the bandits,how could you have gained an entry into my family?Now you have shown disregard for my daughter by becoming the son-in-law of President Wei.How can this be justified?

Master Zhang says:

Madame,from whom did you learn this?If such be the case,may I no longer live between heaven and earth and catch a dire disease!

He sings to the tune of WILD GEESE’S FALL:

’Tis said there’re maidens beautiful with silken whip

In the capital where one makes a trip.

But my mind dwells on my Young Lady kind.

Could I seek another hand and leave her behind?

Tune: TRIUMPHANT SONG

A good man should be true from end to end.

Could I forget the one who was my first friend?

What rascal out of jealousy

Has come to sever her from me?

He could not win my lady fair and bright

But used foul means from morn to night.

This man must be a rogue of deepest dye,

Sooner or later on the gallows he will die.

Madame Cui says:

It was Zheng Heng who told me this.The embroidered ball hit your horse and you became the son-in-law of President Wei.If you don’t believe,you may call Rose and ask her.

Rose enters and says:

How anxious I am to see him!After all,he has come back,appointed to a high post.Now,we’ll know right from wrong.

Master Zhang says:

Rose,how is your Young Mistress?

Rose says:

As you are now the son-in-law of President Wei,my Young Mistress will be married to Zheng Heng as formerly arranged.

Master Zhang says:

How could things turn so strange?

He sings to the tune of CELEBRATION IN THE EASTERN PLAIN:

How could true lover’s tree from dung heap grow?

How could flatfish in dirty mud swim to and fro?

Should wedding rolls be sullied by the braying donkey?

Oh,Yingying,could you marry a mocking monkey?

Oh,Rose,how could you serve a sooty cat?

Oh,Zhang Gong,could you share your love with half-drowned rat?

This would do wrong

To our customs established long.

Rose sings to the tune of BRUSH-WOOD:

I’ve come to pay

Respect today,

But try to keep down anger in my heart.

Have you been happy since we did part?

Where does your new bride dwell?

How does she compare

With my Young Mistress fair?

Master Zhang says:

What are you talking about?How can you not know the sufferings I endured for your Young Mistress,unknown to others?How could I have a new bride other than her?

He sings to the tune of ZITHER AND GUITAR:

If I had a new bride,

May I die by your side!

O how could I forget the waiting in moonlight

And the lute-playing for my mistress bright!

After I’d suffered hell on earth

And exerted myself without mirth,

We were about to become man and wife,

And she would be conferred a“Dame”for life.

I was to hand to her the patent in high glee.

How could I know a grave’s opened to bury me?

Rose says to Madame Cui:

I did not believe that Master Zhang was an untrustworthy man.Will you allow me to call my Young Mistress out to question him herself?

(Calling Yingying)My Young Mistress,Master Zhang is here.Will you please come out?

Yingying enters and says:

Here I am.

(Meeting Master Zhang)

Master Zhang says:

How have you been since we parted,my dear Young Lady?

Yingying says:

Well.A thousand blessings on you,sir.

Rose says:

Haven’t you anything to say to him,my Young Mistress?

Yingying,sighing,says:

What is there to be said?

She sings to the tune of INTOXICATED EAST WIND:

When I did not see him by night or day,

I had prepared so much to say.

But now that we have met,

O how can I forget

Everything but utter sigh on sigh!

He’s come in haste;while I’m too shy

To glance at him,I would unfold

To him the sorrows of my heart.

On meeting him,no word is told

But to wish him blessings on my part.

She says:

Master Zhang,has our family done you wrong?Why should you have deserted me and become the son-in-law of President Wei?How can you justify what you have done?

Master Zhang says:

How could you believe that?

Yingying says:

It was Zheng Heng who said that in my mother’s presence.

Master Zhang says:

My dear Young Lady,how could you believe such a rogue?But Heaven would be witness to my heart.

He sings to the tune of MUME BLOSSOMS FALLING IN THE REEZE:

Since I left Pu the eastern town

And came to the capital of the crown,

I’ve never glanced at any maiden fair.

How could I’ve married President Wei’s daughter there?

If I had ever seen her lace,

My family and I would meet disgrace.

He says:

I think Rose was to blame.I will try to provoke her to see what she has to say.

(To Rose)I was told you had sent for your Young Mistress a letter to Zheng Heng,telling him to come here.

Rose says:

You fool!I ought not to have helped you to fulfill your wishes.How could you think that I could help him as I had helped you!

She sings to the tune of SWEET WATER:

Master Zhang,you need

Not worry nor take heed.

That fellow lacks manhood;

Our family is worthy and good.

My Young Mistress’father was a prime minister.

How could I’ve sent him a letter from her?

Tune: PICKING LAURELS

That fellow’s a blockhead;

He’d tell nothing but lie.

He’d take yellow for black

And violet for red.

Though my Young Mistress’weak and shy,

Would she marry a worthless hunchback?

She loves your true manhood.

How could the Lord of Spring

Allow a cutter of wood

To catch an oriole that can sing?

It is that fellow’s sole desire

To do you harm and wrong.

My heart would burst with ire

To tell you his story long.

She says to Master Zhang:

If you have not become the son-in-law of another family,I will do my best to help you in my Mistress’presence.When that fellow comes,you should refute him face to face.

(To Madame Cui)Madame,Master Zhang has not become the son-in-law of President Wei.It was Zheng Heng who told lies.You may call them to confront each other before you.

Madame Cui says:

Since he has not,let Zheng Heng come to confront him and we shall see what is to be done.

Faben enters and says:

Unexpectedly Master Zhang has won high renown after the imperial examinations and is appointed prefect of the Mid-River.Having just welcomed him,now I come to congratulate Madame Cui.As to the marriage of her daughter,I was concerned with it from the beginning.How could Madame Cui have changed her mind and prepared the wedding with Zheng Heng!If she really gives him her daughter,what could she do when the prefect comes today?

He meets all present and says to Madame Cui:

Madame,now you know I was right in saying that Master Zhang was not a student of no character.How could he forget your family?Besides,General Du was a witness to the engagement.How could you go back on your words?

He sings to the tune of WILD GEESE’S FALL:

General Du would look down

On ancients of renown.

He is now in command

Of Mid-River and western land.

Tune: TRIUMPHANT SONG

Formerly he protected your bower;

Now he is armed with power.

When he comes,he will help Master Zhang as he can

And punish the bad man,

Who cares not for relationship in life

And tries to cheat an honest man out of his wife.

If one cannot tell bad from good,

How can he boast of true manhood?

Madame Cui says to Rose:

Take your Young Mistress to her chamber.

(Exeunt Yingying and Rose.)

General Du enters and says:

I have left the Pu Pass and here I am at the Salvation Monastery.

Master Zhang salutes him and says to him:

By your influence I have passed the imperial examinations.Now I have come back to be married,but a nephew of Madame Cui,named Zheng Heng,told her that I had become the son-in-law of President Wei,and Madam turned angry against me and would go back on her words and marry her daughter to Zheng Heng in spite of the motto that a chaste maiden should never marry twice.

General Du says:

Madame,it would not be right to go back on your words.My dear friend Zhang is the son of a President of the Board of Rites and has passed with honor the imperial examinations.You vowed you would have such a son-in-law.How could you cancel the marriage arrangement now?

Madame Cui says:

When my husband was alive,my daughter was betrothed to Zheng Heng.But when our lives were in danger,we were indebted to Master Zhang who requested you to drive off the bandits,so I made him my son-in-law.But recently Zheng Heng told me that Master Zhang had become the son-in-law of President Wei,so I wanted to marry my daughter to Zheng Heng as arranged by my late husband.

General Du says:

Zheng Heng must be a villain trying to speak ill of Master Zhang.How could you easily believe him,Madame?

Zheng Heng enters and says:

Here I am in wedding attire,ready to be the son-in-law of my aunt.Today is a lucky day.Leading sheep and carrying wine,I am coming to the house of my bride.

(Meeting all present)

Master Zhang says:

What has brought you here,Zheng Heng?

Zheng Heng says:

Woe is me!Having heard you have returned after the imperial examinations,I am coming to offer you my congratulations.

General Du says:

How dare you come to swindle an honest man out of his fiancee?I will report to the court the wrong you have done to the newly appointed prefect and have you punished.

He sings to the tune of MUME BLOSSOMS FALLING IN THE BREEZE:

You want to force your way into the fairylands,

Regardless of the master who there stands.

The bee’s prevented by the eastern breeze.

If you do not believe,listen’neath willow trees

To the cuckoo which will not roam

Keep on singing”Better go home!”

He says:

If that fellow won’t go away,I will have him arrested.

Zheng Heng says:

Don’t arrest me,please.I’ll give up the marriage.

Madame Cui says:

Calm your anger,General!Just turn him out!

Zheng Heng says:

Now Yingying will be married to Master Zhang.How shamefaced I would be to go back to my house!I would dash my brains out against a tree rather than live in shame.(Singing)

I’ve striven for a wife in vain;

Only the gallant deserve the fair.

What use to scheme with might and main?

When I die,all will be nowhere.

(He falls down dead.)

Madam Cui says:

Though he takes his own life without being forced to,out of pity for his being fatherless and motherless,I will take charge of his burial.

General Du says:

Please ask the Young Lady to come out.Let us hold a congratu-latory feast and see the young couple united.

(Master Zhang and Yingying bow to Madame Cui,to each other,to General Du;and Rose bows to the couple.)

Chorus sings to the tune of BUYING SWEET WINE:

Four-horsed chariots crowd the gate;

Eight young dragons adorn the door.

You marry the daughter of a prime minister late

Who has all virtues women adore.

You have achieved your ends

Through the aid of your friends.

Tune: A PACIFIC SONG

Had General Du not come to save their life,

Could they become husband and wife?

Could they fulfill their wish

And be as happy as in water swim the fish?

Since olden days a worthy maid

Should be her worthy hushand’s aid.

Who wins success in court above

Will win success below in love.

(Enter an imperial messenger;all bow to him.)

The messenger sings to the tune of THE CLEAR RIVER:

The emperor sacred and wise

Sanctions your marriage ties,

And you will never

One from the other sever.

May lovers’neath the skies

Be united for ever and ever!(Exeunt.)

To sum up the five acts of the Act V:

The lute-bearer reports success.

Yingying sends to Zhang Gong a vest.

Zheng Heng lost his life in distress.

The lovers’union blessed.

To sum up the five acts of the Romance:

The eastern talent wins his beauty.

The southern abbot does his duty.

A feast is held for northern flawer.

The lovers meet in western bower.
