生自知已死,亦无所戚。出(chu)村去(qu),犹冀一见连(lian)城。遥望南北一(yi)道(dao),行(hang)人连绪如蚁,因亦浑(hun)身杂迹其中(zhong)。俄顷,入一廨(xie)署,值(zhi)顾生,惊问:君(jun1)何得来?即把手(shou)将送(song)令归。生太(tai)息,言:心事殊(shu)未了。顾曰:仆在此典(dian)牍(du),颇得委(wei)任(ren)。倘可效力(li),不惜也。生问连(lian)城。顾即(ji)导生旋转多所,见连城与一白(bai)衣女郎(lang),泪睫(jie)惨黛(dai),藉(jie)坐廊隅(yu)。见(jian)生(sheng)至(zhi),骤(zhou)起似喜,略问所来。生(sheng)曰:卿死,仆何敢生!连(lian)城泣曰:如(ru)此负义人,尚不吐弃(qi)之,身殉何为(wei)?然已(yi)不(bu)能(neng)许君今(jin)生,愿(yuan)矢来世耳(er)。生(sheng)告顾(gu)曰(yue):有(you)事君(jun1)自去,仆(pu)乐(le)死不愿(yuan)生矣。但烦稽连城托生何里,行与俱(ju)去耳。顾(gu)诺而去。白衣(yi)女郎(lang)问生(sheng)何人,连城(cheng)为(wei)缅(mian)述(shu)之。女(nv)郎闻之,若不胜(sheng)悲。连城(cheng)告(gao)生曰:此妾同姓,小字宾娘,长沙(sha)史(shi)太守女。一(yi)路(lu)同来,遂(sui)相怜爱。生睨(ni)之,意态怜人。方欲研问,而顾已返(fan),向生贺曰:我为(wei)君(jun1)平章已确,即教小娘子从君返魂,好否(fou)?两人(ren)皆喜。方将拜(bai)别,宾娘大哭曰(yue):姊去(qu),我安归?乞(qi)垂怜(lian)救,妾为姊捧耳。连城凄然,无(wu)所为(wei)计。转谋(mou)生,生(sheng)又(you)哀顾。顾难之,峻(jun4)辞以为不(bu)可(ke)。生固强之。乃曰(yue):试妄为之。去食(shi)顷而返,摇手(shou)曰:何如!诚万分不能(neng)为力(li)矣!宾娘闻之(zhi),婉转娇啼,惟(wei)依连(lian)城肘下,恐(kong)其(qi)即去。惨怛(da)无术,相对默默;而(er)睹其愁颜(yan)戚(qi)容,使人肺(fei)腑酸柔。顾(gu)生愤然曰:请携(xie)宾娘(niang)去。脱有愆(qian)尤,小生(sheng)拚身(shen)受之!宾娘(niang)乃喜,从生出。生忧其(qi)道(dao)远无侣。宾娘(niang)曰(yue):妾(qie)从君去(qu),不愿归(gui)也。生曰:卿太痴矣。不归,何(he)以(yi)得活也?他日至湖南,勿复走避,为幸(xing)多(duo)矣。适有两媪摄牒赴(fu)长(zhang)沙,生属之(zhi),宾娘泣别而(er)去。
