红楼梦Chapter12

the words which Chia Jui heard， fell in so much the more with his own sentiments， that he could not restrain himself from again pressing forward nearer to her; and as with eyes strained to give intentness to his view， he gazed at lady Fengs purse： What rings have you got on? he went on to ask.

You should be a little more deferential， remonstrated lady Feng in a low tone of voice， so as not to let the waiting-maids detect us.

Chia Jui withdrew backward with as much alacrity as if he had received an Imperial decree or a mandate from Buddha.

You ought to be going! lady Feng suggested， as she gave him a smile.

Do let me stay a while longer， entreated Chia Jui， you are indeed ruthless， my sister-in-law.

But with gentle voice did lady Feng again expostulate. In broad daylight， she said， with people coming and going， it is not really convenient that you should abide in here; so you had better go， and when its dark and the watch is set， you can come over， and quietly wait for me in the corridor on the Eastern side!

At these words， Chia Jui felt as if he had received some jewel or precious thing. Dont make fun of me! he remarked with vehemence. The only thing is that crowds of people are ever passing from there， and how will it be possible for me to evade detection?

Set your mind at ease! lady Feng advised; I shall dismiss on leave all the youths on duty at night; and when the doors， on both sides， are closed， there will be no one else to come in!
