How can I not know all about this Chiao Ta? remarked lady Feng; but the secret of all this trouble is, that you wont take any decisive step. Why not pack him off to some distant farm, and have done with him? And as she spoke, Is our carriage ready? she went on to inquire.
All ready and waiting, interposed the married women.
Lady Feng also got up, said good-bye, and hand in hand with Pao-yue, they walked out of the room, escorted by Mrs. Yu and the party, as far as the entrance of the Main Hall, where they saw the lamps shedding a brilliant light and the attendants all waiting on the platforms. Chiao Ta, however, availing himself of Chia Chens absence from home, and elated by wine, began to abuse the head steward Lai Erh for his injustice.
You bully of the weak and coward with the strong, he cried, when theres any pleasant charge, you send the other servants, but when its a question of seeing any one home in the dark, then you ask me, you disorderly clown! a nice way you act the steward, indeed! Do you forget that if Mr. Chiao Ta chose to raise one leg, it would be a good deal higher than your head! Remember please, that twenty years ago, Mr. Chiao Ta wouldnt even so much as look at any one, no matter who it was; not to mention a pack of hybrid creatures like yourselves!
While he went on cursing and railing with all his might, Chia Jung appeared walking by lady Fengs carriage. All the servants having tried to hush him and not succeeding, Chia Jung became exasperated; and forthwith blew him up for a time. Let some one bind him up, he cried, and tomorrow, when hes over the wine, Ill call him to task, and well see if he wont seek death.
