Never mind! never mind! observed Mrs. Yu, smilingly; its as well that you shouldnt see him. This brother of mine is not, like the boys of our Chia family, accustomed to roughly banging and knocking about. Other peoples children are brought up politely and properly, and not in this vixenish style of yours. Why, youd ridicule him to death!
I wont laugh at him then, thats all, smiled lady Feng; tell them to bring him in at once.
Hes shy, proceeded Mrs. Chin, and has seen nothing much of the world, so that you are sure to be put out when you see him, sister.
What an idea! exclaimed lady Feng. Were he even No Cha himself, Id like to see him; so dont talk trash; if, after all, you dont bring him round at once, Ill give you a good slap on the mouth.
I darent be obstinate, answered Mrs. Chin smiling; ll bring him round!
In a short while she did in fact lead in a young lad, who, compared with Pao-yue, was somewhat more slight but, from all appearances, superior to Pao-yue in eyes and eyebrows, (good looks), which were so clear and well-defined, in white complexion and in ruddy lips, as well as graceful appearance and pleasing manners. He was however bashful and timid, like a girl.
In a shy and demure way, he made a bow to lady Feng and asked after her health.
Lady Feng was simply delighted with him. You take a low seat next to him! she ventured laughingly as she first pushed Pao-yue back. then readily stooping forward, she took this lad by the hand and asked him to take a seat next to her. Presently she inquired about his age, his studies and such matters, when she found that at school he went under the name of Chin Chung.
