You antiquated thing! replied Mrs. Hsueeh laughing, set your mind at ease, and go and drink your own wine! I wont let him have too much, and should even the old lady say anything, let the fault be mine.
Saying this, she asked a waiting-maid to take nurse Li along with her and give her also a glass of wine so as to keep out the cold air.
When nurse Li heard these words, she had no alternative but to go for a time with all the others and have some wine to drink.
the wine need not be warmed: I prefer it cold! Pao-yue went on to suggest meanwhile.
That wont do, remonstrated Mrs. Hsueeh; cold wine will make your hand tremble when you write.
You have, interposed Pao Chai smiling, the good fortune, cousin Pao-yue, of having daily opportunities of acquiring a knowledge of every kind of subject, and yet dont you know that the properties of wine are mostly heating? If you drink wine warm, its effects soon dispel, but if you drink it cold, it at once congeals in you; and as upon your intestines devolves the warming of it, how can you not derive any harm? and wont you yet from this time change this habit of yours? leave off at once drinking that cold wine.
Pao-yue finding that the words he had heard contained a good deal of sense, speedily put down the cold wine, and having asked them to warm it, he at length drank it.
