Chou Juis wife rose without any delay, and handed her the box. ve come, said she, to bring you a present of flowers.
Upon hearing this, Ping Erh opened the box, and took out four sprigs, and, turning round, walked out of the room. In a short while she came from the inner room with two sprigs in her hand, and calling first of all Tsai Ming, she bade her take the flowers over to the mansion on the other side and present them to madame Jung, after which she asked Mrs. Chou to express her thanks on her return.
Chou Juis wife thereupon came over to dowager lady Chias room on this side of the compound, and as she was going through the Entrance Hall, she casually came, face to face, with her daughter, got up in gala dress, just coming from the house of her mother-in-law.
What are you running over here for at this time? promptly inquired Mrs. Chou.
Have you been well of late, mother? asked her daughter. ve been waiting for ever so long at home, but you never come out! Whats there so pressing that has prevented you from returning home? I waited till I was tired, and then went on all alone, and paid my respects to our venerable lady; Im now, on my way to inquire about our lady Wang. What errand havent you delivered as yet, ma; and what is it youre holding?
Ai! as luck would have it, rejoined Chou Juis wife smilingly, old goody Liu came over to-day, so that besides my own hundred and one duties, Ive had to run about here and there ever so long, and all for her! While attending to these, Mrs. Hsueh came across me, and asked me to take these flowers to the young ladies, and Ive been at it up to this very moment, and havent done yet! But coming at this time, you must surely have something or other that you want me to do for you! whats it?
