"I can't credit these words," replied Ts'ui Lue, twisting her face round. "If you maintain that they are like human beings, how is it that I haven't seen any person, with one head growing over another." This rejoinder evoked a smile from Hsiang-yuen. "I tell you not to talk," she cried, "but you will insist upon talking! How do you expect people to be able to answer every thing you say!
The side, which looks up and faces the sun, is called Yang; while that in the shade and looking downwards, is called Yin." "Is it really so!" ejaculated T'sui Lue, upon hearing this; while she smiled and nodded her head. "Now I know all about it! But which is Yang and which Yin in these fans we're holding." "This side, the front, is Yang," answered Hsiang-yuen; "and that, the reverse, is Yin."
"Give it to me and let me look at it," retorted Hsiang-yuen. Ts'ui Lue stretched out her hand with a dash. "Yes, Miss, please look at it!" she laughed. Hsiang-yuen raised her eyes. She perceived, at a glance, that it was a golden unicorn, so beautiful and so bright; and so much larger and handsomer than the one she had on.
In the upper part were five diminutive anterooms, uniformly carved with, unique designs; and above the framework of the door was hung a tablet with the inscription in four huge characters "I Hung K'uai Lue, the happy red and joyful green."
"What a false accusation! If I be guilty of anything of the kind, may I at once die! Just see what a broiling hot day this is, and yet as soon as I arrived I felt bound to come and look you up first. If you don't believe me, well, ask Lue Erh! And while at home, when did I not at every instant say something about you?" Scarcely had she concluded than Hsi Jen and Pao-yue tried to soothe her.
In it was placed, till it was quite full, a bunch of white chrysanthemums, in appearance like crystal balls. In the middle of the west wall, was suspended a large picture representing vapor and rain; the handiwork of Mi Nang-yang. On the left and right of this picture was hung a pair of antithetical scrolls the autograph of Yen Lue.
Anchora lue è dotato di bone parte. Despatch of March 19, 1493. Mai fù visto il più carnale homo; l'hama questa madona Lucrezia in superlativo gradu. Boccaccio's Despatch, Rome, April 4, 1493. The word carnale is to be taken only in the sense of nepotism, as it is plainly so used elsewhere by the ambassador.
After a while, they parted; and when evening came Hsiang-yuen directed Ts'ui Lue to pack up her clothes. "What's the hurry?" Ts'ui Lue asked. "There will be ample time to pack up, on the day on which we go!" "We'll go to-morrow," Hsiang-yuen rejoined; "for what's the use of remaining here any longer to look at people's mouths and faces?" Pao-yue, at these words, lost no time in pressing forward.
There only remained but Hsiang-yuen and Ts'ui Lue. "How is it," inquired Ts'ui Lue, "that these lotus flowers have not yet opened?" "The proper season hasn't yet arrived," rejoined Shih Hsiang-yuen. "They too," continued Ts'ui Lue, "resemble those in our pond; they are double flowers." "These here," remarked Hsiang-yuen, "are not however up to ours."
It isn't strange then that people invariably call the sun 'T'ai-yang. While astrologers keep on speaking of the moon as 'T'ai-yin-hsing, or something like it. It must be on account of this principle." "O-mi-to-fu!" laughed Hsiang-yuen, "you have at last understood!" "All these things possess the Yin and Yang; that's all right." T'sui Lue put in.
