Our eldest sister-in-law Chen, proceeded lady Feng, came over to invite me to go to-morrow to their place for a little change. I dont think there will be anything for me to do to-morrow.
Whether there be or not, replied madame Wang, it doesnt matter; you must go, for whenever she comes with an invitation, it includes us, who are your seniors, so that, of course, it isnt such a pleasant thing for you; but as she doesnt ask us this time, but only asks you, its evident that shes anxious that you should have a little distraction, and you mustnt disappoint her good intention. Besides its certainly right that you should go over for a change.
Lady Feng assented, and presently Li Wan, Ying Chun and the other cousins, likewise paid each her evening salutation and retired to their respective rooms, where nothing of any notice transpired.
the next day lady Feng completed her toilette, and came over first to tell madame Wang that she was off, and then went to say good-bye to dowager lady Chia; but when Pao-yue heard where she was going, he also wished to go; and as lady Feng had no help but to give in, and to wait until he had changed his clothes, the sister and brother-in-law got into a carriage, and in a short while entered the Ning mansion.
Mrs. Yu, the wife of Chia Chen, and Mrs. Chin, the wife of Mr. Chia Jung, the two sisters-in-law, had, along with a number of maids, waiting-girls, and other servants, come as far as the ceremonial gate to receive them, and Mrs. Yu, upon meeting lady Feng, for a while indulged, as was her wont, in humorous remarks, after which, leading Pao-yue by the hand, they entered the drawing room and took their seats, Mrs. Chin handed tea round.
