　　女魁星(xing)北斗垂景象　老王母西池(chi)赐芳筵

　　昔曹大(da)家(jia)(jia)《女(nv)(nv)诫(jie)》云："女(nv)(nv)有(you)(you)四行：一(yi)(yi)曰妇德，二曰妇言，三曰妇容(rong)，四曰妇功。"此(ci)(ci)四者(zhe)，女(nv)(nv)人之大(da)节而(er)不(bu)可(ke)无者(zhe)也(ye)。今(jin)开(kai)卷(juan)为(wei)(wei)何以(yi)班昭《女(nv)(nv)诫(jie)》作引？盖此(ci)(ci)书所载(zai)虽闺阁琐事(shi)，儿女(nv)(nv)闲情(qing)，然如(ru)大(da)家(jia)(jia)所谓四行者(zhe)，历历有(you)(you)人：不(bu)惟(wei)金玉(yu)其(qi)质，亦(yi)且冰(bing)雪为(wei)(wei)心。非素日恪遵《女(nv)(nv)诫(jie)》，敬守良箴，何能(neng)至此(ci)(ci)。岂可(ke)因事(shi)涉(she)杳渺，人有(you)(you)妍媸，一(yi)(yi)并使之泯灭？故于灯前月夕，长夏余冬，濡毫戏墨，汇为(wei)(wei)一(yi)(yi)编(bian)；其(qi)贤者(zhe)彰之，不(bu)肖者(zhe)鄙之；女(nv)(nv)有(you)(you)为(wei)(wei)女(nv)(nv)，妇有(you)(you)为(wei)(wei)妇；常有(you)(you)为(wei)(wei)常，变有(you)(you)为(wei)(wei)变。所叙虽近琐细，而(er)曲终之奏，要归于正(zheng)，淫词秽语(yu)，概所不(bu)录。其(qi)中(zhong)奇(qi)奇(qi)幻(huan)幻(huan)，悉由群(qun)劳被谪，以(yi)发其(qi)端，试(shi)观首卷(juan)，便(bian)知(zhi)梗概。

　　且说天下(xia)名山(shan)，除王(wang)母(mu)所住(zhu)昆仑之(zhi)(zhi)外(wai)，海岛中有三(san)座(zuo)名山(shan)：一名蓬莱(lai)，二名方丈，三(san)名瀛洲(zhou)。都是(shi)道(dao)路窎远(yuan)，其(qi)高异常。当日《史记(ji)》曾言这(zhei)三(san)座(zuo)山(shan)都是(shi)神(shen)仙(xian)聚集之(zhi)(zhi)处。后来(lai)《拾遗记(ji)》同(tong)《博物志》极言其(qi)中珍宝之(zhi)(zhi)盛(sheng)，景致之(zhi)(zhi)佳。最可爱的，四时有不谢之(zhi)(zhi)花，八(ba)节有长青(qing)之(zhi)(zhi)草(cao)。他如仙(xian)果、瑞木、嘉谷，祥禾之(zhi)(zhi)类，更难(nan)枚(mei)举(ju)。

　　内(nei)中单讲蓬莱山有个薄命岩(yan)，岩(yan)上有个红颜洞(dong)，洞(dong)内(nei)有位仙(xian)姑，总司天下名花，乃群(qun)芳(fang)之主，名百(bai)花仙(xian)子，在此(ci)修行(xing)多年。这日(ri)正(zheng)值三月初(chu)三日(ri)王母圣诞，正(zheng)要前(qian)去祝(zhu)寿，有素(su)日(ri)相(xiang)契的百(bai)草仙(xian)子来约同赴(fu)"蟠桃胜会"。百(bai)花仙(xian)子即命女童(tong)捧(peng)了(le)"百(bai)花酿"；又约了(le)百(bai)果、百(bai)谷二(er)位仙(xian)子。四(si)位仙(xian)姑，各驾云头，向西方昆(kun)仑而来。行(xing)至中途，四(si)面祥云缭(liao)绕，紫雾缤纷，原来都是各洞(dong)神仙(xian)，也去赴(fu)会。忽见北斗宫中现出(chu)万丈红光(guang)，耀人(ren)眼(yan)目，内(nei)有一(yi)位星(xing)君(jun)，跳舞而出(chu)。装束打扮，虽似魁(kui)星(xing)，而花容(rong)月貌，却是一(yi)位美(mei)女。左手执(zhi)笔，右手执(zhi)斗；四(si)面红光(guang)围护(hu)，驾著彩云，也向昆(kun)仑去了(le)。

　　百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)谷(gu)仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)"这(zhei)位(wei)星(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)君如(ru)此(ci)模样，想来(lai)(lai)必(bi)是(shi)(shi)魁(kui)(kui)星(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)夫(fu)人(ren)(ren)。--原来(lai)(lai)魁(kui)(kui)星(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)竟有浑家，却也(ye)罕见(jian)！"百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)花仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)："魁(kui)(kui)星(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)既(ji)(ji)(ji)为神(shen)(shen)道(dao)(dao)(dao)，岂(qi)(qi)(qi)(qi)无(wu)(wu)匹偶。且(qie)神(shen)(shen)道(dao)(dao)(dao)变(bian)幻不(bu)测，亦难详(xiang)其底细。或(huo)(huo)者(zhe)此(ci)时(shi)(shi)下(xia)界别有垂兆，故此(ci)星(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)以(yi)(yi)变(bian)相出现(xian)，亦未可(ke)知(zhi)。"百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)果仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)笑(xiao)道(dao)(dao)(dao)："据小(xiao)(xiao)仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)看(kan)(kan)来(lai)(lai)，今日是(shi)(shi)西王(wang)母圣诞，所(suo)以(yi)(yi)魁(kui)(kui)星(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)特(te)命娘子(zi)(zi)祝寿；将来(lai)(lai)到了(le)东(dong)王(wang)公圣诞，才是(shi)(shi)魁(kui)(kui)星(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)亲自拜寿哩。但(dan)这(zhei)夫(fu)人(ren)(ren)四面红光(guang)(guang)护体(ti)，紫雾(wu)盘旋，不(bu)知(zhi)是(shi)(shi)何(he)垂兆？"百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)花仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)："小(xiao)(xiao)仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)向(xiang)闻魁(kui)(kui)星(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)专司下(xia)界人(ren)(ren)文(wen)(wen)。近(jin)来(lai)(lai)每见(jian)斗宫红光(guang)(guang)四射，华彩腾霄。今以(yi)(yi)变(bian)相出现(xian)，又复紫气毫光(guang)(guang)，彻(che)于天地(di)。如(ru)此(ci)景(jing)象，下(xia)界人(ren)(ren)文(wen)(wen)，定(ding)卜其盛(sheng)。奈(nai)吾辈(bei)(bei)道(dao)(dao)(dao)行浅薄，不(bu)知(zhi)其兆应在何(he)时(shi)(shi)何(he)处。"百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)草仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)："小(xiao)(xiao)仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)闻海外(wai)小(xiao)(xiao)蓬莱有一(yi)(yi)玉(yu)碑(bei)，上具人(ren)(ren)文(wen)(wen)，近(jin)日常(chang)发光(guang)(guang)芒，与魁(kui)(kui)星(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)遥遥相映，大(da)约兆应玉(yu)碑(bei)之内(nei)。"百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)花仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)："玉(yu)碑(bei)所(suo)载是(shi)(shi)何(he)人(ren)(ren)文(wen)(wen)?我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)可(ke)能(neng)一(yi)(yi)见(jian)?"百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)草仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)"此(ci)碑(bei)内(nei)寓仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)机(ji)，现(xian)有仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)吏把守，须俟(si)数百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)年后(hou)，得(de)遇有缘(yuan)，方得(de)出现(xian)。此(ci)时(shi)(shi)机(ji)缘(yuan)尚(shang)早，我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)何(he)能(neng)骤见(jian)。"百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)花仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)："不(bu)知(zhi)小(xiao)(xiao)仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)与这(zhei)玉(yu)碑(bei)可(ke)能(neng)有缘(yuan)？可(ke)借我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)虽(sui)成正果，究系女(nv)身，将来(lai)(lai)即使得(de)睹玉(yu)碑(bei)人(ren)(ren)文(wen)(wen)之盛(sheng)，其中(zhong)所(suo)载，设或(huo)(huo)俱(ju)是(shi)(shi)儒生无(wu)(wu)一(yi)(yi)闺秀，我(wo)(wo)(wo)辈(bei)(bei)岂(qi)(qi)(qi)(qi)不(bu)减色(se)？"百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)草仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)："现(xian)在魁(kui)(kui)星(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)既(ji)(ji)(ji)现(xian)女(nv)像，其为坤兆无(wu)(wu)疑。况闻玉(yu)碑(bei)所(suo)放文(wen)(wen)光(guang)(guang)，每交午后(hou)，或(huo)(huo)逢双(shuang)日，尤其焕彩，较平时(shi)(shi)迥不(bu)相同。以(yi)(yi)阴阳(yang)而(er)论，午后(hou)属阴，双(shuang)亦属阴，文(wen)(wen)光(guang)(guang)主才，纯阴主女(nv)。据这(zhei)景(jing)象，岂(qi)(qi)(qi)(qi)但(dan)一(yi)(yi)二闺秀，只怕尽是(shi)(shi)巾帼奇才哩！"百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)花仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)："仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)姑所(suo)见(jian)固是(shi)(shi)，小(xiao)(xiao)仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)看(kan)(kan)来(lai)(lai)，既(ji)(ji)(ji)使所(suo)载竟是(shi)(shi)巾帼，设或(huo)(huo)无(wu)(wu)缘(yuan)，不(bu)能(neng)一(yi)(yi)见(jian)，岂(qi)(qi)(qi)(qi)非(fei)'镜花水月'，终虚所(suo)望么(me)？"百(bai)(bai)(bai)(bai)草仙(xian)(xian)(xian)(xian)子(zi)(zi)道(dao)(dao)(dao)："这(zhei)派景(jing)象，我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)今日既(ji)(ji)(ji)得(de)预睹，岂(qi)(qi)(qi)(qi)是(shi)(shi)无(wu)(wu)缘(yuan)。大(da)约日后(hou)总有一(yi)(yi)位(wei)蛆姐恭逢其盛(sheng)。此(ci)时(shi)(shi)渺(miao)渺(miao)茫茫，谈也(ye)无(wu)(wu)用，我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)且(qie)去赴会，何(he)必(bi)只管(guan)猜这(zhei)哑谜。"
