Is it really she? inquired promptly goody Liu, after this explanation. Isnt it strange? what I said about her years back has come out quite correct; but from all you say, shall I to-day be able to see her?
That goes without saying, replied Chou Jui when any visitors come now-a-days, its always lady Feng who does the honours and entertains them, and its better to-day that you should see her for a while, for then you will not have walked all this way to no purpose.
O mi to fu! exclaimed old goody Liu; I leave it entirely to your convenience, sister-in-law.
Whats that youre saying? observed Chou Juis wife. the proverb says: Our convenience is the convenience of others. All I have to do is to just utter one word, and what trouble will that be to me.
Saying this, she bade the young waiting maid go to the side pavilion, and quietly ascertain whether, in her old ladyships apartment, table had been laid.
the young waiting-maid went on this errand, and during this while, the two of them continued a conversation on certain irrelevant matters.
This lady Feng, observed goody Liu, can this year be no older than twenty, and yet so talented as to manage such a household as this! the like of her is not easy to find!
Hai! my dear old goody, said Chou Juis wife, after listening to her, its not easy to explain; but this lady Feng, though young in years, is nevertheless, in the management of affairs, superior to any man. She has now excelled the others and developed the very features of a beautiful young woman. To say the least, she has ten thousand eyes in her heart, and were they willing to wager their mouths, why ten men gifted with eloquence couldnt even outdo her! But by and bye, when youve seen her, youll know all about her! Theres only this thing, she cant help being rather too severe in her treatment of those below her.
