As the plum blossom, in the eastern part of the garden of the Ning mansion, was in full bloom, Chia Chens spouse, Mrs. Yu, made preparations for a collation, (purposing) to send invitations to dowager lady Chia, mesdames Hsing, and Wang, and the other members of the family, to come and admire the flowers; and when the day arrived the first thing she did was to take Chia Jung and his wife, the two of them, and come and ask them round in person. Dowager lady Chia and the other inmates crossed over after their early meal; and they at once promenaded the Hui Fang (Concentrated Fragrance) Garden. First tea was served, and next wine; but the entertainment was no more than a family banquet of the kindred of the two mansions of Ning and Jung, so that there was a total lack of any novel or original recreation that could be put on record.
After a little time, Pao-yue felt tired and languid and inclined for his midday siesta. Take good care, dowager lady Chia enjoined some of them, and stay with him, while he rests for a while, when he can come back; whereupon Chia Jungs wife, Mrs. Chin, smiled and said with eagerness: We got ready in here a room for uncle Pao, so let your venerable ladyship set your mind at ease. Just hand him over to my charge, and he will be quite safe. Mothers and sisters, she continued, addressing herself to Pao-yues nurses and waiting maids, invite uncle Pao to follow me in here.
