红楼梦Chapter25

the servant-girls had all along entertained an antipathy for him， and not one of them therefore worried her mind about what he said. Tsai Hsia was the only one who still got on well with him， so pouring a cup of tea， she handed it to him. But she felt prompted to whisper to him： Keep quiet a bit! whats the use of making people dislike you?

I know myself how matters stand， Chia Huan rejoined， as he cast a steady glance at her; so dont you try and befool me! Now that you are on intimate terms with Pao-yue， you dont pay much heed to me. Ive also seen through it myself.

Tsai Hsiao set her teeth together， and gave him a fillip on the head. You heartless fellow! she cried. Youre like the dog， that bit Lue Tung-pin. You have no idea of whats right and whats wrong!

While these two nagged away， they noticed lady Feng and Madame Wang cross together over to them. Madame Wang at once assailed him with questions. She asked him how many ladies had been present on that day， whether the play had been good or bad， and what the banquet had been like.

But a brief interval over， Pao-yue too appeared on the scene. After saluting Madame Wang， he also made a few remarks， with all decorum; and then bidding a servant remove his frontlet， divest him of his long gown and pull off his boots， he rushed head foremost， into his mothers lap.
