红楼梦Chapter25

Since youve had some of our tea， lady Feng laughed， how is it that you have not yet become a wife in our household?

the whole party burst out laughing aloud. So much so， that they found it difficult to repress themselves. But Tai-yues face was suffused with blushes. She turned her head the other way， and uttered not a word.

Our sister-in-law Secundas jibes are first-rate! Pao-chai chimed in with a laugh.

What jibes! exclaimed Tai-yue; theyre purely and simply the prattle of a mean mouth and vile tongue! Theyre enough to evoke peoples displeasure!

Saying this， she went on to sputter in disgust.

Were you， insinuated lady Feng， to become a wife in my family， what is there that you would lack? Pointing then at Pao-yue， Look here! she criedIs not this human being worthy of you? Is not his station in life good enough for you? Are not our stock and estate sufficient for you? and in what slight deGREe can he make you lose caste?

Tai-yue rose to her feet， and retired immediately. But Pao-chai shouted out： Heres Pin Erh in a huff! Dont you yet come back? when youve gone， there will really be no fun!

While calling out to her， she jumped up to pull her back. As soon， however， as she reached the door of the room， she beheld Mrs. Chao， accompanied by Mrs. Chou; both coming to look up Pao-yue. Pao-yue and his companions got up in a body and pressed them into a seat. Lady Feng was the sole person who did not heed them.
