Tai-yue was, it is true, not aware of what was up, but T'an Ch'un and the others knew that they were discussing the son of her mother's sister, married in the Hsueeh family, in the city of Chin Ling, a cousin of theirs, Hsueeh P'an, who relying upon his wealth and influence had, by assaulting a man, committed homicide, and who was now to be tried in the court of the Ying T'ien Prefecture.
"But can you tear yourself away from your home to spend the night outside the city walls?" "As long as you're there," Hsueeh P'an said, "what will I want my home for?" "If that be so," Hsiang-lien resumed, "I'll wait for you on the bridge outside the northern gate. But let us meanwhile rejoin the banquet and have some wine. Come along, after you've seen me go; they won't notice us then."
Early Cosmogony Dualistic The period before the appearance of the P'an Ku myth may be divided into two parts; that from some early unknown date up to about the middle of the Confucian epoch, say 500 B.C., and that from 500 B.C. to A.D. 400. We know that during the latter period the minds of Chinese scholars were frequently occupied with speculations as to the origin of the universe.
There is no evidence that P'an Ku had existed as a tradition before the time when we meet with the written account of him; and, what is more, there is no evidence that there existed any demand on the part of the popular mind for any such solution or illustration.
And though we'll have to reduce the duties, payable at the barriers, and other expenses, there will still remain for us a considerable percentage of profit." This proposal set Hsueeh P'an musing, "With the dressing I've recently had," he pondered, "I cannot very well, at present, appear before any one.
Ever since the death of Hsueeh P'an's father, the various assistants, managers and partners, and other employes in the respective provinces, perceiving how youthful Hsueeh P'an was in years, and how much he lacked worldly experience, readily availed themselves of the time to begin swindling and defrauding.
As soon as Hsueeh P'an saw how distinguee Ying Lien was in her appearance, he formed the resolution of buying her; and when he encountered Feng Yuean, come with the object of depriving him of her, he in the assurance of superiority, called his sturdy menials together, who set upon Feng Yuean and beat him to death.
A long while elapsed, however, before he espied Hsueeh P'an in the distance, hurrying along astride of a high steed, with gaping mouth, staring eyes, and his head, banging from side to side like a pedlar's drum.
This sentiment filled one and all with amazement. "How supremely excellent this line is!" they ejaculated. "A girl is joyful," Hsueeh P'an resumed, "During the consummation of wedlock." Upon catching this remark, the party turned their heads away, and shouted: "Dreadful! Dreadful! But quick sing your song and have done." Forthwith Hsueeh P'an sang: "A mosquito buzzes heng, heng, heng!"
But, reader, if you feel any interest to know what happened when Hsueeh P'an heard the version his mother gave him, listen to what you will find in the next chapter. A sensual-minded man gets into such trouble through his sensuality that he entertains the idea of going abroad. An estimable and refined girl manages, after great exertion, to compose verses at a refined meeting.
