Chou Juis wife, therefore, on this occasion came first to these rooms as they were on her way, but she only found a few waiting-maids assembled in the antechamber, waiting silently to obey a call.
Ying Chs waiting-maid, Ssu Chi, together with Shih Shu, Tan Chs waiting-maid, just at this moment raised the curtain, and made their eGREss, each holding in her hand a tea-cup and saucer; and Chou Juis wife readily concluding that the young ladies were sitting together also walked into the inner room, where she only saw Ying Chun and Tan Chun seated near the window, in the act of playing chess. Mrs. Chou presented the flowers and explained whence they came, and what they were.
the girls forthwith interrupted their game, and both with a curtsey, expressed their thanks, and directed the waiting-maids to put the flowers away.
Mrs. Chou complied with their wishes (and handing over the flowers); Miss Hsi Chun, she remarked, is not at home; and possibly shes over there with our old lady.
Shes in that room, isnt she? inquired the waiting-maids.
Mrs. Chou at these words readily came into the room on this side, where she found Hsi Chun, in company with a certain Chih Neng, a young nun of the moon reflected on water convent, talking and laughing together. On seeing Chou Juis wife enter, Hsi Chun at once asked what she wanted, whereupon Chou Juis wife opened the box of flowers, and explained who had sent them.
