Ever since Chin Chung had noticed Pao-yues unusual appearance, his sedate deportment, and what is more, his hat ornamented with gold, and his dress full of embroidery, attended by beautiful maids and handsome youths, he did not indeed think it a matter of surprise that every one was fond of him.
Born as I have had the misfortune to be, he went on to commune within himself, in an honest, though poor family, how can I presume to enjoy his companionship! This is verily a proof of what a barrier poverty and wealth set between man and man. What a serious misfortune is this too in this mortal world!
In wild and inane ideas of the same strain, indulged these two youths!
Pao-yue by and by further asked of him what books he was reading, and Chin Chung, in answer to these inquiries, told him the truth. A few more questions and answers followed; and after about ten remarks, a GREater intimacy sprang up between them.
Tea and fruits were shortly served, and while they were having their tea, Pao-yue suggested, We two dont take any wine, and why shouldnt we have our fruit served on the small couch inside, and go and sit there, and thus save you all the trouble?
the two of them thereupon came into the inner apartment to have their tea; and Mrs. Chin attended to the laying out of fruit and wines for lady Feng, and hurriedly entered the room and hinted to Pao-yue: Dear uncle Pao, your nephew is young, and should he happen to say anything disrespectful, do please overlook it, for my sake, for though shy, hes naturally of a perverse and wilful disposition, and is rather given to having his own way.
