红楼梦Chapter15

Chia Chen， at this time， went， together with Chia Jung， up to all their seniors， and pressed them to get into their sedan chairs， and to ride their horses; and Chia She and all of the same age as himself were consequently induced to mount into their respective carriages or chairs. Chia Chen and those of the same generation were likewise about to ride their horses， when lady Feng， through her solicitude on Pao-yues account， gave way to fears lest now that they had reached the open country， he should do as he pleased， and not listen to the words of any of the household， and lest Chia Chen should not be able to keep him in check; and， as she dreaded that he might go astray， she felt compelled to bid a youth call him to her; and Pao-yue had no help but to appear before her curricle.

My dear brother， lady Feng remarked smiling， you are a respectable person， and like a girl in your ways， and shouldnt imitate those monkeys on horseback! do get down and let both you and I sit together in this carriage; and wont that be nice?

At these words， Pao-yue readily dismounted and climbed up into the carriage occupied by lady Feng; and they both talked and laughed， as they continued their way.

But not a long time elapsed before two men， on horseback， were seen approaching from the opposite direction. Coming straight up to lady Fengs vehicle they dismounted， and said， as they leaned on the sides of her carriage， Theres a halting place here， and will it not please your ladyship to have a rest and change?
