What you suggest, mother, is quite correct, interposed Mrs. Liu, Kou Erhs wife, who stood by and took up the conversation, but with such mouth and phiz as yours and mine, how could we present ourselves before her door? Why I fear that the man at her gate wont also like to go and announce us! and wed better not go and have our mouths slapped in public!
Kou Erh, who would have thought it, prized highly both affluence and fame, so that when he heard these remarks, he forthwith began to feel at heart a little more at ease. When he furthermore heard what his wife had to say, he at once caught up the word as he smiled.
Old mother, he rejoined; since that be your idea, and whats more, you have in days gone by seen this lady on one occasion, why shouldnt you, old lady, start to-morrow on a visit to her and first ascertain how the wind blows!
Ai Ya! exclaimed old Goody, It may very well be said that the marquis door is like the wide ocean! what sort of thing am I? why the servants of that family wouldnt even recognise me! even were I to go, it would be on a wild goose chase.
No matter about that, observed Kou Erh; ll tell you a good way; you just take along with you, your grandson, little Pan Erh, and go first and call upon Chou Jui, who is attached to that household; and when once youve seen him, there will be some little chance. This Chou Jui, at one time, was connected with my father in some affair or other, and we were on excellent terms with him.
