But Pao-yue remained for a long time under the spell of utter astonishment, before he, at length, realised that it was Hsueeh P'au who had inveigled him to come out. Hsueeh P'an hastily made a salutation and a curtsey, and confessed his fault. He next gave way to entreaties, saying: "Don't punish the young servant, for it is simply I who begged him go."
Sometimes they are in the form of those bodies, sometimes in the classic character. The legend says that when P'an Ku put things in order in the lower world, he did not put these two luminaries in their proper courses, so they retired into the Han Sea, and the people dwelt in darkness.
Indeed, after Hsueeh P'an had come over to take up his quarters in madame Wang's suite of apartments, he shortly came to hear of the existence of a family school, and that this school was mainly attended by young fellows of tender years, and inordinate ideas were suddenly aroused in him.
Now won't this be a considerable saving of trouble?" "My uncle, your brother," suggested Hsueeh P'an, "has just been raised to an appointment in an outside province, so that, of course, in his house, things must be topsy-turvey, on account of his departure; and should we betake ourselves, like a hive of bees and a long trail, to him for shelter; won't we appear very inconsiderate?"
"Just so!" retorted Hsueeh P'an, "but when you come to-morrow to congratulate me we'll consider what novel kind of present you can give me." "I've got nothing that I can give you," rejoined Pao-yue. "As far as money, clothes, eatables and other such articles go, they are not really mine: all I can call my own are such pages of characters that I may write, or pictures that I may draw."
"It's only through scrapes," he cried, "that he'll get all right!" In the evening, after the party broke up, he came to inquire after him. But Hsueeh P'an, who was lying all alone in his bedroom, nursing himself, refused to see him, on the plea of indisposition. When dowager lady Chia and the other inmates had returned home, and every one had retired into their respective apartments, Mrs.
They were reported to Ju Lai; P'an Ku was called, and, at the divine direction of Buddha, wrote the character for 'sun' in his left hand, and that for 'moon' in his right hand; and went to the Han Sea, and stretched forth his left hand and called the sun, and then stretched forth his right hand and called the moon, at the same time repeating a charm devoutly seven times; and they forthwith ascended on high, and separated time into day and night.
"The two lines, that follow, are still more difficult," suggested Yuen Erh with a smile, "so you had better let me recite for you." "Fiddlesticks!" exclaimed Hsueeh P'an, "do you really fancy that I have no good ones! Just you listen to what I shall say. "A girl is glad, When in the bridal room she lies, with flowery candles burning, and she is loth to rise at morn."
"Why should he be fined?" demurred the party. "Because," retorted Hsueeh P'an, "what he says is entirely unintelligible to me. So how can he not be fined?" Yuen Erh gave him a pinch. "Just you quietly think of yours," she laughed; "for if by and bye you are not ready you'll also have to bear a fine." In due course Pao-yue took up the guitar.
And they perceived Hsueeh P'an come out by leaps and bounds. Clutching the two young fellows, "What do you," he exclaimed, "leave your wine for and withdraw from the banquet. Be quick and produce those things, and let me see them!" "There's nothing to see!" rejoined the two young fellows with one voice. Hsueeh P'an, however, would by no means fall in with their views.
