红楼梦Chapter23

Compose your mind， lady Feng observed grinning， for the Imperial Consort has hinted that directions should be given for the planting， in the north-east corner of the park， of a further plentiful supply of pine and cedar trees， and that orders should also be issued for the addition， round the base of the tower， of a large number of flowers and plants and such like; and when this job turns up， I can safely tell you that Yun Erh will be called to assume control of these works.

Well if that be really so， Chia Lien rejoined， it will after all do! But theres only one thing; all I was up to last night was simply to have some fun with you， but you obstinately and perversely wouldnt.

Lady Feng， upon hearing these words， burst out laughing with a sound of Chih， and spurting disdainfully at Chia Lien， she lowered her head and went on at once with her meal; during which time Chia Lien speedily walked away laughing the while， and betook himself to the front， where he saw Chia Cheng. It was， indeed， about the young bonzes， and Chia Lien readily carried out lady Fengs suggestion. As from all appearances， he continued， Chin Erh has， actually， so vastly improved， this job should， after all， be entrusted to his care and management; and provided that in observance with the inside custom Chin Erh were each day told to receive the advances， things will go on all right. And as Chia Cheng had never had much attention to give to such matters of detail， he， as soon as he heard what Chia Lien had to say， immediately signified his approval and assent. And Chia Lien， on his return to his quarters， communicated the issue to lady Feng; whereupon lady Feng at once sent some one to go and notify dame Chou.
