"It should be!" rejoined Tai-yue. "O-mi-to-fu." Pao-yue then gave vent to a loud shout. His body bounced three or four feet high from the ground. His mouth was full of confused shrieks. But all he said was rambling talk. Tai-yue and the servant-girls were full of consternation, and, with all possible haste, they ran and apprised Madame Wang and dowager lady Chia.
Secundus should receive our master's admonition, for if master doesn't hold him in check, there's no saying what he mightn't do in the future." As soon as Madame Wang heard this, she clasped her hands and uttered the invocation, "O-mi-to-fu!" Unable to resist the impulse, she drew near Hsi Jen. "My dear child," she added, "you have also luckily understood the real state of things.
At these words, Tai-yue laughed. "O-mi-to-fu!" she exclaimed. "You are indeed my very good cousin! And this makes it clear that requital and retribution never fail or err." She had just reached this part of her sentence, when in Pao-yue's rooms was heard a continuous sound of wrangling; but as what transpired is not yet known, the ensuing chapter will explain.
You keep them in an old porcelain jar, and bury them under the roots of some flowers; and when the ailment betrays itself, you produce it and take a pill, washing it down with two candareens of a yellow cedar decoction." "O-mi-to-fu!" cried Mrs. Chou, when she heard all this, bursting out laughing. "It's really enough to kill one! you might wait ten years and find no such lucky moments!"
But so many days and years have now elapsed that the people themselves are no more alive, the temple is in decay, and the image itself is become a spirit." "It hasn't become a spirit," remonstrated Pao-yue with vehemence. "Human beings of this kind may, the rule is, die, yet they are not dead." "O-mi-to-fu!" ejaculated old goody Liu; "is it really so!
But how could one go now on this account and dig up graves, and open tombs! Hence it is that such as are simply in use among living persons can equally well be substituted." "O-mi-to-fu!" exclaimed Madame Wang, after listening to him throughout.
Pao-yue was then about to say something in his defence when he saw a servant come in and report that there was some one outside who wished to see him. At this announcement, Pao-yue betook himself with alacrity out of the room. "O-mi-to-fu!" observed Tai-yue, turning outwards, "it wouldn't matter to you if you found me dead on your return!" On his arrival outside, Pao-yue discovered Pei Ming.
"O-mi-to-fu!" exclaimed dame Chao. "Is it really so? but from what you say, our family will also be making preparations for the reception of the eldest young lady!" "That goes without saying," added Chia Lien, "otherwise, for what purpose could we be in such a stir just now?"
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.
"Why, at first, you used to coax me with a lot of endearing terms to comb your hair and to wash your face, to do this and that for you. But now that you've become a big girl, you assume the manner of a young mistress towards me, and as you put on these airs of a young mistress, how can I ever presume to be on a familiar footing with you?" "O-mi-to-fu," cried Shih Hsiang-yuen.
