That too couldnt exalt her to be a fit match for you! rejoined Hsi Jen; but Pao-yue being loth to continue the conversation， simply busied himself with cleaning the chestnuts.

How is it you utter not a word? Hsi Jen laughed; I expect its because I just offended you by my inconsiderate talk! But if by and by you have your purpose fixed on it， just spend a few ounces of silver to purchase them with， and bring them in and have done!

How would you have one make any reply? Pao-yue smilingly rejoined; all I did was to extol her charms; for shes really fit to have been born in a deep hall and spacious court as this; and it isnt for such foul things as myself and others to contrariwise spend our days in this place!

Though deprived of this good fortune， Hsi Jen explained， shes nevertheless also petted and indulged and the jewel of my maternal uncle and my aunt! Shes now seventeen years of age， and everything in the way of trousseau has been got ready， and shes to get married next year.

Upon hearing the two words get married， he could not repress himself from again ejaculating： Hai hai! but while he was in an unhappy frame of mind， he once more heard Hsi Jen remark as she heaved a sigh： Ever since Ive come here， we cousins havent all these years been able to get to live together， and now that Im about to return home， they， on the other hand， will all be gone!
