Pao-yue was so much at his wits ends that he had no alternative but to take her hand and smilingly ask: Whats the matter with you, after all, that Ive had to ask you something time after time?
Hsi Jen opened her eyes wide. theres nothing really the matter with me! she observed; but as youre awake, you surely had better be going over into the opposite room to comb your hair and wash; for if you dilly-dally any longer, you wont be in time.
Where shall I go over to? Pao-yue inquired.
Hsi Jen gave a sarcastic grin. Do you ask me? she rejoined; do I know? youre at perfect liberty to go over wherever you like; from this day forth you and I must part company so as to avoid fighting like cocks or brawling like geese, to the amusement of third parties. Indeed, when you get surfeited on that side, you come over to this, where there are, after all, such girls as Fours and Fives (Ssu Erh and Wu Erh) to dance attendance upon you. But such kind of things as ourselves uselessly defile fine names and fine surnames.
Do you still remember this to-day! Pao-yue asked with a smirk.
Hundred years hence I shall still bear it in mind, Hsi Jen protested; m not like you, who treat my words as so much wind blowing by the side of your ears, that what Ive said at night, youve forgotten early in the morning.
Pao-yue perceiving what a seductive though angry air pervaded her face found it difficult to repress his feelings, and speedily taking up, from the side of the pillow, a hair-pin made of jade, he dashed it down breaking it into two exclaiming: If I again dont listen to your words, may I fare like this hair-pin.
