This is just another plagiarism, I fear, observed Tan Chun, with an ironic smirk.
Exclusive of the Four Books, Pao-yue remarked smilingly, the majority of works are plagiarised; and is it only I, perchance, who plagiarise? Have you got any jade or not? he went on to inquire, addressing Tai-yue, (to the discomfiture) of all who could not make out what he meant.
Its because he has a jade himself, Tai-yue forthwith reasoned within her mind, that he asks me whether I have one or not. I havent one, she replied. That jade of yours is besides a rare object, and how could every one have one?
As soon as Pao-yue heard this remark, he at once burst out in a fit of his raving complaint, and unclasping the gem, he dashed it disdainfully on the floor. Rare object, indeed! he shouted, as he heaped invective on it; it has no idea how to discriminate the excellent from the mean, among human beings; and do tell me, has it any perception or not? I too can do without this rubbish!
All those, who stood below, were startled; and in a body they pressed forward, vying with each other as to who should pick up the gem.
Dowager lady Chia was so distressed that she clasped Pao-yue in her embrace. You child of wrath, she exclaimed. When you get into a passion, its easy enough for you to beat and abuse people; but what makes you fling away that stem of life?
