When Baoyu and her sisters were sitting together and watching Jingchai Ji with the public, Daiyu said to Baochai, "This ten friends of Wang don't know very well either. No matter where they sacrifice, they must run to the river to do something! Baochai did not answer. Baoyu listened, but started to stay.
Besides, Mother Jia thought that today is no better than in the past, she must teach Sister Feng to have a good day. Ben himself sat idly at the table. He only watched the theatre with Aunt Xue on the couch in the inner room. He picked up a few favorite foods and put them on the younger ones. He ate and talked freely. They were asked to sit under the verandah of the window and eat and drink at will without formality.
Wang and Mrs. Xing were sitting at a high table under the ground, and their sisters were sitting outside. From time to time, Mrs.
Jia ordered Mr. Youshi to wait: "Let the Phoenix girl sit on it. You're so good to stay for me. It's hard for him to work all year round. I'll let him go myself. I've been drinking for several minutes. You all take turns to respect him. If he doesn't eat any more, I'll go in person. Youshi heard that he was busy laughing and pulling him out to sit down. He ordered people to take the table and pour wine.
He laughed and said, "It's hard to be filial to your old lady, wife and me all year round. I'll pour the wine myself. My dear, take a drink in my hand. Kneel down and I'll drink it. Let me tell you: It's easy to have this experience today, but later on, you will know that it's as bad as it is today. Just try your best to fill it for two minutes. Then all the sisters came, and Sister Feng had to drink two mouthfuls each. Mammy Lai was so happy to see Mammy Lai that she could hardly make fun of herself.
