红楼梦Chapter19

Pao-yue upon hearing these words credited them as true， so that he discarded all thought of the cream and fetched the chestnuts， which he， with his own hands， selected and pealed. Perceiving at the same time that none of the party were present in the room， he put on a smile and inquired of Hsi Jen： Who were those persons dressed in red to day?

theyre my two cousins on my mothers side， Hsi Jen explained， and hearing this， Pao-yue sang their praise as he heaved a couple of sighs.

What are you sighing for? Hsi Jen remarked. I know the secret reasons of your heart; its I fancy because she isnt fit to wear red!

It isnt that， Pao-yue protested smilingly， it isn if such a person as that isnt good enough to be dressed in red， who would forsooth presume to wear it? Its because I find her so really lovely! and if we could， after all， manage to get her into our family， how nice it would be then!

Hsi Jen gave a sardonic smile. That its my own fate to be a slave doesnt matter， but is it likely that the destiny of even my very relatives could be to become one and all of them bond servants? But you should certainly set your choice upon some really beautiful girl， for she would in that case be good enough to enter your house.

Here you are again with your touchiness! Pao-yue eagerly exclaimed smiling， if I said that she should come to our house， does it necessarily imply that she should be a servant? and wouldnt it do were I to mention that she should come as a relative!
