What errand haven't you delivered as yet, ma; and what is it you're holding?" "Ai! as luck would have it," rejoined Chou Jui's wife smilingly, "old goody Liu came over to-day, so that besides my own hundred and one duties, I've had to run about here and there ever so long, and all for her!

"And where is the heartless husband?" "I ate him alive!" Then the king was alarmed and said: "What the fickle boy did was not to be endured, it is true. But still you were a little too rough with him; in future you must not do anything of the sort again." And Tsian Tang promised not to. That evening Liu I was feasted at the castle. Music and dancing lent charm to the banquet.
"I heard our lady Feng say a little while back," she added, "that you had brought a lot of squash and vegetables, and I told her to put them by at once.

But by that time the silver was completely used up, and he found himself just as poor as he had been before. As regards the field-god, see No. 51. Once upon a time there were two scholars. One was named Liu Tschen and the other Yuan Dschau. Both were young and handsome. One spring day they went together into the hills of Tian Tai to gather curative herbs.
But turning round, she noticed old goody Liu. "Come over here," she vehemently cried with a smile; "and put on a few flowers."
