Whereupon the imperial consort Yuean, when she heard that Pao-yue could compose verses, forthwith exclaimed with a smile: "He has in very truth made progress!"
But do you perchance see your way to bring this concern about?" Lady Feng listened to her. "You shouldn't, I say, go and bang your head against a nail!" she then vehemently exclaimed. "Were our old ancestor separated from Yuean Yang, she wouldn't even touch her rice! How ever could she reconcile herself to part from her?
Chin Wen-hsiang eagerly expressed his obedience over and over again, and withdrawing out of the room, he retraced his footsteps homeward. Nor did he have the patience to wait until he could commission his womankind to speak to her. Indeed he went in person and told her face to face the injunctions entrusted to him. Yuean Yang was incensed to such a degree that she was at a loss what reply to make.
But they must rhyme. And any one making a mistake will be mulcted in one cup." "This rule is splendid; begin at once!" they all exclaimed. "Above head stretches the blue heaven," dowager lady Chia said. "Good!" shouted every one. "In the centre is a five and six," Yuean Yang resumed. The fragrance of the plum blossom pierces the bones on the bridge "Six," old lady Chia added.
You, poor thing, are a child born in this establishment. You're not like us two, who are solitary creatures here." "What does it matter whether I be born here or not?" Yuean Yang exclaimed. "'You can lead a horse to a fountain, but you can't make him drink! So if I don't listen to any proposals, is it likely, may I ask, that they'll kill my father and mother?"
"In the centre there's the three and four, green matched with red," Yuean Yang pursued. "The large fire burnt the hairy caterpillar;" old goody Liu ventured. "This will do very well!", the party laughed, "go on with what is in your line." "On the right," Yuean Yang smilingly continued, "there's a one and four, and is really pretty." "A turnip and a head of garlic." old goody Liu answered.
This person, who succumbed to the assault, was the son of a minor gentry. His name was Feng Yuean. His father and mother are both deceased, and he has likewise no brothers. He looked after some scanty property in order to eke out a living. His age was eighteen or nineteen; and he had a strong penchant for men's, and not much for women's society. But who would have foreseen the issue?
"There's no need to give her any!" "With what she can't eat, herself," Yuean Yang continued, "she can feed the cats." At these words, a matron lost no time in selecting two sorts of eatables, and, taking the box, she went to take them over. "Where's Su Yun gone to?" Yuean Yang asked. "They're all in here having their meal together." Li Wan replied. "What do you want her for again?"
"Should our old mistress," she said to her, "ask for me, just say that I was so unwell that I couldn't even have any breakfast; that I've gone into the garden for a stroll, but that I will be back at once." Hu Po undertook to tell her so, and Yuean Yang then betook herself too into the garden. While lolling all over the place, she, contrary to her expectations, encountered P'ing Erh.
Tai-yue retorted. At the close of her replies, she took a sip of wine. Yuean Yang then resumed. "On the left," she said, "there's a four and five, making a 'different-combined nine." "The peach blossoms bear heavy drops of rain;" Ying Ch'un remarked. The company laughed. "She must be fined!" they exclaimed. "She has made a mistake in the rhyme. Besides, it isn't right!"
