红楼梦Chapter9

As he uttered these words， his purpose was to start there and then， and he called Ming Yen in， to come and pack up his books. Ming Yen walked in and put the books away. Master， he went on to suggest， in an exultant manner， theres no need for you to go yourself to see her; Ill go to her house and tell her that our old lady has something to ask of her. I can hire a carriage to bring her over， and then， in the presence of her venerable ladyship， she can be spoken to; and wont this way save a lot of trouble?

Do you want to die? speedily shouted Li Kuei; mind， when you go back， whether right or wrong， Ill first give you a good bumping， and then go and report you to our master and mistress， and just tell them that its you， and only you， who instigated Mr. Pao-yue! Ive succeeded， after ever so much trouble， in coaxing them， and mending matters to a certain extent， and now you come again to continue a new plan. Its you who stirred up this row in the school-room; and not to speak of your finding， as would have been the proper course， some way of suppressing it， there you are instead still jumping into the fire.

Ming Yen， at this juncture， could not muster the courage to utter a sound. By this time Chia Jui had also apprehended that if the row came to be beyond clearing up， he himself would likewise not be clear of blame， so that circumstances compelled him to pocket his grievances and to come and entreat Chin Chung as well as to make apologies to Pao-yue. These two young fellows would not at first listen to his advances， but Pao-yue at length explained that he would not go and report the occurrence， provided only Chin Jung admitted his being in the wrong. Chin Jung refused， at the outset， to aGREe to this， but he ultimately could find no way out of it， as Chia Jui himself urged him to make some temporising apology.
