Entries had, at the time to be made in the books, and orders to be issued, and Chin Chung was induced to interpose with a smirk, In both these mansions of yours, such orders are alike in use; but were any outsider stealthily to counterfeit one and to abscond, after getting the money, what could ever be done?
In what you say, replied lady Feng, you take no account of the laws of the land.
How is it that from our house, no one comes to get any orders or to obtain anything? Pao-yue having inquired: At the time they come to fetch them, rejoined lady Feng, youre still dreaming; but let me ask you one thing, when will you two at last begin your evening course of studies?
Oh, I wish we were able to begin our studies this very day, Pao-yue added; that would be the best thing, but theyre very slow in putting the school-room in order, so that theres no help for it!
Lady Feng laughed. Had you asked me, she remarked, I can assure you it would have been ready quick enough.
You too would have been of no use, observed Pao-yue, for it will certainly be ready by the time they ought to finish it in.
But in order that they should do the work, suggested lady Feng, its also necessary that they should have the material, they cant do without them; and if I dont give them any permits, it will be difficult to obtain them.
