"Altogether," She Yueeh said laughingly, "that girl Ch'iu Wen got a few clothes just once; can such a lucky coincidence present itself again today that you too should find them engaged in searching for clothes?"
After which, she took the medicine, and softening it by the fire, she spread it on them with a hairpin. Ch'ing Wen herself laid hold of a looking-glass with a handle and stuck the bits on both her temples. "While you were lying sick," She Yueeh laughed, "you looked like a mangy-headed devil! But with this stuff on now you present a fine sight!
DUKE Liu, an ancestor of the Kau family, made a settlement, according to its traditions, in B.C. 1797, in Pin, the site of which is pointed out, 90 li to the west of the present district city of San-shui, in Pin Kau, Shen-hsi, where the tribe remained till the movement eastwards of Than-fu, celebrated in the first decade of the Major Odes of the Kingdom, ode 3. THE KHI YUeEH.
Pi Hen, Ch'iu Wen, She Yueeh and the rest of the waiting-maids had realised what a serious aspect the dispute had assumed, and not a sound was to be heard to fall from their lips. They remained standing outside listening to what was going on.
But Ch'iu Wen and She Yueeh availed themselves likewise of the warm water to have a wash; after which, they followed Pao-yue in. Pao-yue at once asked for a kettle of warm wine, and, starting from sister-in-law Li, he began to replenish their cups. "He's only a youngster," she said, "so let him pour the wine! We must all drain this cup!"
"He calls Hsi Jen," she smilingly rejoined, "so what's that to do with me? What do you want?" proceeding, she then inquired of him. "I want some tea," Pao-yue replied. She Yueeh hastily jumped out of bed, with nothing on but a short wadded coat of red silk. "Throw my pelisse over you;" Pao-yue cried; "for mind it's cold!"
Ch'ing Wen retorted, and as she uttered these words, she took the money, and forthwith dashing the portiere after her, she quitted the room. Pao-yue stood at the back of She Yueeh, and She Yueeh sat opposite the glass, so that the two of them faced each other in it, and Pao-yue readily observed as he gazed in the glass, "In the whole number of rooms she's the only one who has a glib tongue!"
Ch'ing Wen however had been roused out of her sleep, and she called She Yueeh. "Even I," she said, "have been disturbed, fast asleep though I was; and, lo, she keeps a look-out by his very side and doesn't as yet know anything about his cries! In very deed she is like a stiff corpse!" She Yueeh twisted herself round and yawned.
She Yueeh first called a young maid into the room and put things shipshape before she told Ch'in Wen and the other servant-girls to enter; and along with them, she remained in waiting upon Pao-yue while he combed his hair, and washed his face and hands. This part of his toilet over, She Yueeh remarked: "It's cloudy again, so I suppose it's going to snow.
Hsi Jen was alone, and down in the mouth, so it's a fortunate thing that she joined her in such good time." As he spoke, they once more walked out of the court with gentle tread. Pao-yue went to the back of the rockery, and stopping short, he raised his clothes. She Yueeh and Ch'iu Wen stood still, and turned their faces away. "Stoop," they smiled, "and then loosen your clothes!
