Really ma, youre quick at guessing! exclaimed her daughter with a smile; ll tell you what its all about. the day before yesterday, your son-in-law had a glass of wine too many, and began altercating with some person or other; and some one, I dont know why, spread some evil report, saying that his antecedents were not clear, and lodged a charge against him at the Yamen, pressing the authorities to deport him to his native place. Thats why Ive come over to consult with you, as to whom we should appeal to, to do us this favour of helping us out of our dilemma!
I knew at once, Mrs. Chou remarked after listening, that there was something wrong; but this is nothing hard to settle! Go home and wait for me and Ill come straightway, as soon as Ive taken these flowers to Miss Lin; our madame Wang and lady Secunda have both no leisure (to attend to you now,) so go back and wait for me! Whats the use of so much hurry!
Her daughter, upon hearing this, forthwith turned round to go back, when she added as she walked away, Mind, mother, and make haste.
All right, replied Chou Juis wife, of course I will; you are young yet, and without experience, and thats why you are in this flurry.
As she spoke, she betook herself into Tai-yues apartments. Contrary to her expectation Tai-yue was not at this time in her own room, but in Pao-yue where they were amusing themselves in trying to solve the nine strung rings puzzle. On entering Mrs. Chou put on a smile. Aunt Hsueeh, she explained, has told me to bring these flowers and present them to you to wear in your hair.
