却说秦氏因听见宝玉从梦中唤他的��名，心中自是纳闷，又不好细问．彼时宝玉迷迷惑惑，若有所失．众人忙端上桂圆汤来，呷了两口，遂起身整衣．袭人伸手与他系裤带时，不觉伸手至大腿处，只觉冰凉一片沾湿，唬的忙退出手来，问是怎么了．宝玉红涨了脸，把他的手一捻．袭人本是个聪明女子，年纪本又比宝玉大两岁，近来也渐通人事，今见宝玉如此光景，心中便觉察一半了，不觉也羞的红涨了脸面，不敢再问．仍旧理好衣裳，遂至贾母处来，胡乱吃毕了晚饭，过这边来．

第六回 贾宝玉初试云雨情 刘姥姥一进荣国府

得意浓时易接济，受恩深处胜亲朋．

Mrs. Ch’in, to resume our narrative, upon hearing Pao-yü call her in his dream by her infant name, was at heart very exercised, but she did not however feel at liberty to make any minute inquiry.

Pao-yü was, at this time, in such a dazed state, as if he had lost something, and the servants promptly gave him a decoction of lungngan. After he had taken a few sips, he forthwith rose and tidied his clothes.

Hsi Jen put out her hand to fasten the band of his garment, and as soon as she did so, and it came in contact with his person, it felt so icy cold to the touch, covered as it was all over with perspiration, that she speedily withdrew her hand in utter surprise.

What’s the matter with you? she exclaimed.

Please, dear Hsi Jen, don’t tell any one, entreated Pao-yü, with concealed shame.

What did you dream of? inquired Hsi Jen, smiling, as she tried to stifle her blushes, "and whence comes all this perspiration?"

It’s a long story, said Pao-yü, "which only a few words will not suffice to explain."

At that time, there were only madame Wang’s eldest brother, that is lady Feng’s father, and madame Wang herself, who knew anything of these distant relations, from the fact of having followed their parents to the capital. The rest of the family had one and all no idea about them.

All you old lady know, rejoined Kou Erh, after he had heard what she had to say, "is to sit on the couch and talk trash! Is it likely you would have me go and play the robber?"

Who tells you to become a robber? asked goody Liu. "But it would be well, after all, that we should put our heads together and devise some means; for otherwise, is the money, pray, able of itself to run into our house?"

Kou Erh, who would have thought it, prized highly both affluence and fame, so that when he heard these remarks, he forthwith began to feel at heart a little more at ease. When he furthermore heard what his wife had to say, he at once caught up the word as he smiled.

Old mother, he rejoined; "since that be your idea, and what’s more, you have in days gone by seen this lady on one occasion, why shouldn’t you, old lady, start to-morrow on a visit to her and first ascertain how the wind blows!"

Ai Ya! exclaimed old Goody, "It may very well be said that the marquis’ door is like the wide ocean! what sort of thing am I? why the servants of that family wouldn’t even recognise me! even were I to go, it would be on a wild goose chase."

Goody Liu felt constrained to edge herself forward. "Gentlemen," she ventured, "may happiness betide you!"

The whole company of servants scrutinised her for a time. "Where do you come from?" they at length inquired.

I’ve come to look up Mr. Chou, an attendant of my lady’s, remarked goody Liu, as she forced a smile; "which of you, gentlemen, shall I trouble to do me the favour of asking him to come out?"

Among the party of attendants was an old man, who interposed,

Goody Liu readily caught hold of one of them. "I’d like to ask you just a word, my young friend," she observed; "there’s a Mrs. Chou here; is she at home?"

Which Mrs. Chou? inquired the boy; "we here have three Mrs. Chous; and there are also two young married ladies of the name of Chou. What are the duties of the one you want, I wonder ?"

She’s a waiting-woman of my lady, replied goody Liu.

It’s easy to get at her, added the boy; "just come along with me."

Leading the way for goody Liu into the backyard, they reached the wall of a court, when he pointed and said, "This is her house.--Mother Chou!" he went on to shout with alacrity; "there’s an old lady who wants to see you."

Chou Jui’s wife was at home, and with all haste she came out to greet her visitor. "Who is it?" she asked.

Goody Liu advanced up to her. "How are you," she inquired, "Mrs. Chou?"

Mrs. Chou looked at her for some time before she at length smiled and replied, "Old goody Liu, are you well? How many years is it since we’ve seen each other; tell me, for I forget just now; but please come in and sit."

You’re a lady of rank, answered goody Liu smiling, as she walked along, "and do forget many things. How could you remember such as ourselves?"

To-day, she also asked of goody Liu, "were you simply passing by? or did you come with any express object?"

Is it really she? inquired promptly goody Liu, after this explanation. "Isn’t it strange? what I said about her years back has come out quite correct; but from all you say, shall I to-day be able to see her?"

That goes without saying, replied Chou Jui’s wife; "when any visitors come now-a-days, it’s always lady Feng who does the honours and entertains them, and it’s better to-day that you should see her for a while, for then you will not have walked all this way to no purpose."

O mi to fu! exclaimed old goody Liu; "I leave it entirely to your convenience, sister-in-law."

What’s that you’re saying? observed Chou Jui’s wife. "The proverb says: ’Our convenience is the convenience of others.’ All I have to do is to just utter one word, and what trouble will that be to me."

Saying this, she bade the young waiting maid go to the side pavilion, and quietly ascertain whether, in her old ladyship’s apartment, table had been laid.

The young waiting-maid went on this errand, and during this while, the two of them continued a conversation on certain irrelevant matters.

This lady Feng, observed goody Liu, "can this year be no older than twenty, and yet so talented as to manage such a household as this! the like of her is not easy to find!"

While yet she spake, the young waiting-maid returned. "In her venerable lady’s apartment," she reported, "repast has been spread, and already finished; lady Secunda is in madame Wang’s chamber."

Hearing that lady Feng had not come out, she went in search of an elderly waiting-maid of lady Feng, P’ing Erh by name, who enjoyed her confidence, to whom Chou Jui’s wife first recounted from beginning to end the history of old goody Liu.

P’ing Erh, after hearing what she had to say, speedily devised the plan of asking them to walk in, and to sit there pending (lady Feng’s arrival), when all would be right.

P’ìng Erh, together with Chou Jui’s wife, rose with all haste. "Old goody Liu," they urged, "do sit down and wait till it’s time, when we’ll come and ask you in."

Saying this, they went out to meet lady Feng.

Get the repast ready! she heard some one from the offside say.

As soon as Pan Erh perceived (all these delicacies), he set up such a noise, and would have some meat to eat, but goody Liu administered to him such a slap, that he had to keep away.

How is it you haven’t yet asked her to come in? she slowly inquired; and as she spake, she turned herself round and was about to ask for some tea, when she perceived that Mrs. Chou had already introduced the two persons and that they were standing in front of her.

She forthwith pretended to rise, but did not actually get up, and with a face radiant with smiles, she ascertained about their health, after which she went in to chide Chou Jui’s wife. "Why didn’t you tell me they had come before?" she said.

Old goody Liu was already by this time prostrated on the ground, and after making several obeisances, "How are you, my lady?" she inquired.

Dear Mrs. Chou, lady Feng immediately observed, "do pull her up, and don’t let her prostrate herself! I’m yet young in years and don’t know her much; what’s more, I’ve no idea what’s the degree of the relationship between us, and I daren’t speak directly to her."

This is the old lady about whom I spoke a short while back, speedily explained Mrs. Chou.

Lady Feng nodded her head assentingly.

By this time old goody Liu had taken a seat on the edge of the stove-couch. As for Pan Erh, he had gone further, and taken refuge behind her back; and though she tried, by every means, to coax him to come forward and make a bow, he would not, for the life of him, consent.

Having passed these remarks, she inquired of Mrs. Chou, "Have you let madame know, yes or no?"

We are now waiting, replied Mrs. Chou, "for my lady’s orders."

Go and have a look, said lady Feng; "but, should there be any one there, or should she be busy, then don’t make any mention; but wait until she’s free, when you can tell her about it and see what she says."

P’ing Erh announced their arrival to lady Feng, who said: "I’m now engaged in entertaining some guests, so let them come back again in the evening; but should there be anything pressing then bring it in and I’ll settle it at once."

I’ve nothing to say, interposed old goody Liu. "I simply come to see our elder and our younger lady, which is a duty on my part, a relative as I am."

Well, if there’s nothing particular that you’ve got to say, all right, Mrs. Chou forthwith added, "but if you do have anything, don’t hesitate telling lady Secunda, and it will be just as if you had told our lady."

As she uttered these words, she winked at Goody Liu. Goody Liu understood what she meant, but before she could give vent to a word, her face got scarlet, and though she would have liked not to make any mention of the object of her visit, she felt constrained to suppress her shame and to speak out.

Properly speaking, she observed, "this being the first time I see you, my lady, I shouldn’t mention what I’ve to say, but as I come here from far off to seek your assistance, my old friend, I have no help but to mention it."

She had barely spoken as much as this, when she heard the youths at the inner-door cry out: "The young gentleman from the Eastern Mansion has come."

At this stage, goody Liu did not know whether it was best to sit down or to stand up, neither could she find anywhere to hide herself.

Pray sit down, urged lady Feng, with a laugh; "this is my nephew!’ Old goody Liu then wriggled herself, now one way, and then another, on to the edge of the couch, where she took a seat.

You’re late by a day, replied lady Feng. "It was only yesterday that I gave it to some one."

Pray, aunt, entreated Chia Jung with a smile, "do show me some compassion."

Mind your skin! lady Feng warned him, "if you do chip or spoil it in the least."

She then bade P’ing Erh take the keys of the door of the upstairs room and send for several trustworthy persons to carry it away.

Chia Jung was so elated that his eyebrows dilated and his eyes smiled. "I’ve brought myself," he added, with vehemence, "some men to take it away; I won’t let them recklessly bump it about."

Saying this, he speedily got up and left the room.

Chia Jung thereupon retired with gentle step.

As she uttered these words, she again pushed Pan Erh forward. "What did your father at home tell you to say?" she asked of him; "and what did he send us over here to do? Was it only to give our minds to eating fruit?"

Old goody Liu hurried to explain. "As soon as it was daylight," she proceeded, "we started with all speed on our way here, and had we even so much as time to have any breakfast?"

Lady Feng promptly gave orders to send for something to eat. In a short while Chou Jui’s wife had called for a table of viands for the guests, which was laid in the room on the eastern side, and then came to take goody Liu and Pan Erh over to have their repast.

My dear Mrs. Chou, enjoined lady Feng, "give them all they want, as I can’t attend to them myself;" which said, they hastily passed over into the room on the eastern side.

Isn’t it strange! exclaimed lady Feng, as soon as she had heard the message; "since we are all one family, how is it I’m not familiar even with so much as their shadow?"

While she was uttering these words, old goody Liu had had her repast and come over, dragging Pan Erh; and, licking her lips and smacking her mouth, she expressed her thanks.

When old goody Liu heard the mention made by lady Feng of their hardships, she imagined that there was no hope; but upon hearing her again speak of giving her twenty taels, she was exceedingly delighted, so much so that her eyebrows dilated and her eyes gleamed with smiles.
