When the company heard his proposal, they, with still GREater vigour, unanimously combined in crying out Capital! as they clapped their hands.
Chia Cheng, with one shout, interrupted their cries, You ignorant child of wrath! he ejaculated; how many old writers can you know, and how many stanzas of ancient poetical works can you remember, that you will have the boldness to show off in the presence of all these experienced gentlemen? (In allowing you to give vent to) all the nonsense you uttered my object was no other than to see whether your brain was clear or muddled; and all for funs sake, that and lo, youve taken things in real earnest!
Saying this, he led the company into the interior of the hall with the mallows. The windows were pasted with paper, and the bedsteads made of wood, and all appearance of finery had been expunged, and Chia Chengs heart was naturally much gratified; but nevertheless, scowling angrily at Pao-yue, What do you think of this place? he asked.
When the party heard this question, they all hastened to stealthily give a nudge to Pao-yue, with the express purpose of inducing him to say it was nice; but Pao-yue gave no ear to what they all urged. Its by far below the spot, he readily replied, designated a phoenix comes with dignified air.
You ignorant stupid thing! exclaimed Chia Cheng at these words; what you simply fancy as exquisite, with that despicable reliance of yours upon luxury and display, are two-storied buildings and painted pillars! But how can you know anything about this aspect so pure and unobtrusive, and this is all because of that failing of not studying your books!
