Gentlemen, greetings to you

where did you come from

I'm looking for Mr. Zhou Rui, Lady Wang's servant

Could I trouble one of you gentlemen to fetch him out for me?

You wait in the corner far away

After a while, someone of their house will come out

why are you cheating her?

Mr. Zhou is away in the South

His family lives round at the back

Just go around to the backstreet and ask

thank you sir

Excuse me, sonny,

is there a Mrs. Zhou at home?

Which Mrs. Zhou? We have three Mrs. Zhou here.

It's wife of Zhou Rui, who came here with Lady Wang.

oh come with me

Eh

Aunt Zhou...a Grannie is looking for you

who is it?

How are you, Mrs. Zhou

How are you? Grannie Liu, you see, it's only been a few years

I almost didn't recognize you

please sit inside

Your important people have short memories

How can you remember the likes of us?

Yo, is this Ban-er? He has grown a big boy

The bigger and the more naughty, he doesn't even know greetings to people

please sit sit

serve tea for Grannie

Are you passing by today or are you here on specially?

you drink

We came here specially to see you, Mrs. Zhou

Then, we also want to show respects to Lady Wang

It would be better if we could meet her

If not, please trouble you just to give her our regards

Don't worry, Grannie, you've come all the way here sincerely

How can I let you go home without seeing a real Buddha?

By rights, of course, Callers and Visitors

has nothing to do with me

We each have our own jobs here

My man’s is collecting the half-yearly rents in the spring and autumn

I only attend to their ladyships and the young mistresses when they go out

You were a relative of Her Ladyship (Lady Wang)

and since you’ve put your confidence in me and turned to me,

I'll make an exception and take in a message.

You slip quietly to the side hall and ask

if they were serving lunch yet in old Lady Jia’s quarters

It's just one thing Grannie doesn't know yet

things here are very different from what they were five years ago

Her Ladyship doesn’t run things here any longer

It’s Master Lian’s wife who does all the managing

Master Lian’s wife?

Ah, it's Her Ladyship’s niece Wang Xi-feng

Nicknamed Feng-Ge

Although this Feng girl is young

on doing things, she’s got an older head on her shoulders than anyone

She’s grown up to be an outstanding beauty now

She has at least ten thousand minds

Ten eloquent men are no match for her

When you see her later, you will believe it

But she’s a bit too strict with those beneath her

Feng-ge,

Oh, it turned out to be her, no wonder

I saw her pretty good that day

so

I have to see her too today

That's true. Her Ladyship is busy and impatient now

If a visitor is here

What can be avoided is avoided

It's all the Feng girl who are greeting

You'd rather not meet Her Ladyship today,

You'd better see her instead

That's worth your coming here

They’ve finished serving lunch at Her Old Ladyship’s

Mrs. Lian is leaving now

Yo, come on, our chance is while she has her own meal

Let's go quickly, one step late

It's hard to talk when there are too many people coming in with messages

You sit in the room first, I'll go take a look

I'll call you later

go inside, go inside

Grannie, come

don't mess up

Ping-er, Wang Xi-Feng's maid, also concubine of Jia Lian

Greetings to you, Mrs. Lian

Miss Ping, this is the Grannie Liu I just mentioned

Grannie Liu, please sit down, and Mrs. Zhou, too.

Grannie, sit on the kang

Mrs. Lian is coming...

wait a minute

go inside, go inside

What is this loveable thing?

Why is there a weight hanging down there?

Grannie come here

don't Cry

stop it

Grannie please

remember greetings to her

Why not ask them in, then?

Yo, how are you? your elderly

why didn't you say it earlier

Greetings to you, Mrs. Lian

Mrs. Zhou, get her up quickly. And stop kneeling

please sit down, your elderly

I'm young and I don't know what sort of relations we are

and what I should call her

This is the Grannie I just tell you about

please sit down

kowtow to Mrs. Lian

Relatives don't come to see us much, and we are all estranged

People who know realize that you are tired of us

Those who don't know think we have grown too proud

Amitabha, Our family is in a difficult situation and we cannot afford to visit

If I did, Your Ladyship shall slap our faces for coming.

Yo, that words are so disgusting.

But in the name of our grandfather

and be a poor official,

the mansion is nothing but an empty shelf of the past

As the saying goes, even the Emperor has several poor relations,

let alone us. Have you told Her Ladyship yet?

No, ma’am. I was waiting for your instructions

Go and have a look. Leave it if she is occupied

Tell her if she is free and see what she says.

Grannie i want that

I want

eat, take less, don't choke

The servants in charge are here

You'll talk about it later

OK, got it

Mistress, The servants in charge arrived to report.

I'm here to accompany guests, come back tonight

If anything important, you can bring her in and I‘ll deal with it now

what does Her Ladyship say?

Her Ladyship said she isn’t free today

Your company is the same

She says thanks for coming

If it’s just an ordinary visit, she has nothing more to add

If they have anything to say, just telling Mrs. Lian is the same

Eh Eh...

Mistress, Mistress, I've asked

nothing important

I told them to leave

By rights I ought not to mention it today, seeing it's our first meeting: but... I...

the young master Jia Rong from the Ning mansion is here

Where is Master Rong?

you don't have to say

where is Master Rong?

Greetings to auntie

you sit down. This is my nephew

My father asked me to beg my auntie

for the glass kang screen that your Uncle Wang’s wife gave you last time

He is inviting an important visitor tomorrow

We'll send it back as soon as he has gone

It's too late, I already gave it to someone else yesterday

If auntie doesn't lend it, my father will blame me for not ask properly

and I shall get a beating

Auntie, just for the sake of your poor nephew

I haven't seen that

everything in our Wang family must be so precious

Please, Auntie! Be merciful

If it breaks a little, I'll beat your ass

Ping'er, get the key of the upstairs room

Send some proper people to carry it

Thank you, Auntie, I will take someone to get it myself

I won't allow them to mess up

Master Rong, come back

Master Rong, come back, the Mistress is asking

Forget it, you go first

come back after dinner

I've got company. I'm out of spirits now

go

OK

I bring your nephew (Ban-er) here today

for nothing else

What did your dad teach you at home

What are you doing here

Needless to say, I know it all

I wonder if this Grannie has had breakfast

We were on our way first thing this morning

There was no time to think about eating

Prepare foods

yes

Grannie please

Thank you for taking care of me

please

what does Her Ladyship say?

Her Ladyship said "we don't belong to the same family

But with the same surname,

when your grandfather and theirs were working in the same office,

they were adopted into the clan

They haven’t been round much of late years

Back then, Her Ladyship never sent them back empty-handed

It's nice of them to come and see us today

Just ask you to decide what to do."

No wonder

if it's a family, why don't I even hear of them

slow down

Relatives ought not to wait for you to come to our door

before helping you.

But nowadays the chores at home are too annoying

and Her Ladyship is getting old,

There are things we didn't expect for a while

I'm taking over the management of the household now. These relatives don't know that

though we may look thriving enough from the outside，

big families have their own difficulties of being big.

They won’t believe it if you tell them

Now since you have come such a long way,

and since it's your first time of asking for help,

How can I let you go back empty-handed?

Coincidentally,

The twenty taels of silver Her Ladyship gave my girl to make clothes with have not been moved

If you don’t mind it being so little,

you are very welcome to take it back for use

Yeah, I know you had your troubles,

but as the saying goes, a starved camel is bigger than a fat horse

Mistress, a hair plucked from your arm is thicker than our waist

Ping-er

Take this twenty taels of silver for now to make some winter clothes for the children with

If you refuse it, I shall think you’re offended

With the cash you can hire a cart

When you’ve time, drop in again

as relatives should.

Thank you, Mistress, thank you, Mistress

It's growing late,

I won’t try to keep you

Give our regards to everybody who ought to be remembered when you get home

Eh

Ouch, my dear good woman,

Why couldn't you pay attention to words when you saw her

As soon as you speak, it's "your nephew"

I must say this, even if you mind,

even if he were a real nephew you should
have glossed it over

That Master Rong is her honest-to-goodness nephew

Where would she get such a nephew again?

My dear sister, at sight of her,

I took such a liking to her

that my heart was too full to speak

Jin Chuan-er

Eh

Yo, Mrs. Zhou is here

Is Her Ladyship here?

yes

Hello, Miss Baochai

Sister Zhou

Sister Zhou, sit please

I haven’t seen you over our side these last two or three days

Has Master Baoyu been upsetting you?

No such thing

In the past two days, I've had that disease again.

So I didn't leave the house

what is this sickness of yours, Miss?

You ought to call in a doctor as soon as possible.

Make out a prescription

and take a few doses seriously to get rid of the root

Letting an illness get its grip on you at young age

is no joke.

Forget about taking medicine. To cure this illness,

Goodness knows how much silver we’ve
squandered on doctors and medicines

The most famous physicians and the
most fabulous drugs

were of no use at all

Later, thanks to a monk with a scarlet head, he told me "the Sea Prescription"

It's amazing

It's really effective after taking it

What was this prescription, Miss?

If you will tell me, I shall remember it

I can pass it on to others

if they have the same sort of illness. That would be a charity.

It's better not to use this prescription

If using this method, it would really drive anyone mad

It’s not so much the materials.

It’s the timing involved that is so difficult.

You have to take twelve taels of stamens of the spring-flowering white tree-peony

twelve taels of stamens of the summer-flowering white water-lily

twelve taels of stamens of the autumn-flowering white lotus

twelve taels of stamens of the winter-flowering white plum

and dry them all in the sun on the day of the spring equinox of the next year.

Grind them together with the medicine powder

Then you must take twelve drams of rain water that fell on the Rain Days.

Ouch! That's going to take three years

If it didn't rain on the Rain Days,

what about this?

Exactly, where can such a coincidence of rain be?

If there is no such rain, we have to wait

Then you have to collect twelve drams of dew on the day White Dew in the ninth month

twelve drams of frost at Frost Fall in the tenth

twelve drams of snow at Lesser Snow in the last month of the year

Mix these four kinds of water

and the medicine, add twelve drams of honey,

twelve drams of sugar, and make it up into longan-sized balls

Store the pills in an old porcelain jar. Bury it in a flower bed

When you get sick, take it out and take a pill,

swallowed in hot water into which one and a quarter drams of tincture of phellodendron has been stirred.

Amitabha

What a mess

There may not be such a coincidence in ten years

Does this medicine have a name?

Yes, it was also said by the monk with a scarlet head

It's called "Cold Fragrance Pills"

"Cold Fragrance Pills?"

How do you feel when you are sick?

It doesn’t really bother me very much,

just coughing and wheezing

But it will be better to have taken a pill

Who have you got in there?

Is Grannie Liu gone?

Yes, that's exactly what I'll report to you.

That's fine.

Eh

Just a moment

There is something I should like you to take for me

Xiang Ling (fragrant water chestnut)

What can I do for you, Madam?

Bring me that box with the flowers in

This is a new trick in the Imperial Palace

There are twelve yarn flowers in here

I remembered it yesterday

It's a pity to leave them lying around here

Why not give them to the girls to wear?

I meant to send them round yesterday but forgot.

It’s lucky that you came here today, please take them for me.

There are two each for each of the three Jia girls.

For the remaining six,

give two for Miss Lin，

and the remaining four for Mrs Lian.

Keep them for Bao-chai to wear, no need to think about them

You don’t know our Bao-chai. She is funny about these things

Never has she liked ornaments or make-up or anything of that sort

They...

Mrs. Zhou, are you leaving?

Jin-Chuan, Is that little Xiang-ling girl

the one they are always talking about who was bought just before they came to the capital?

The one they had the murder trial about?

That’s exactly her

Let me see! What a beautiful look.

She actually resembles Master Rong’s wife over at the Ning mansion

That’s just what I’ve said

How old were you when you joined here?

Where are your parents?

How much older are you this year over ten years old?

where are you from?

I do not remember

Come on, got you, got you

let go of me

Miss Xi-chun, this is given to you by Aunt Xue

Just now I told Zhi-neng

that one of these days I'll shave my hair tomorrow and go with her as a nun.

Coincidentally, you came in with these flowers

If I've shaved my hair, where shall I wear the flowers?

When did you come?

And where’s that bald-headed, crotchety
abbess of yours?

We've been here for a long time

The abbess went to see Her Ladyship

She told me to wait for her here

Give me

Miss Lin

Aunt Xue asked me to send flowers for you to wear

What flowers? Let me see them

Am I the only one getting these,

or have the others had some too?

All the young ladies have had them. These two are for you, Miss

I thought as much, I won't get the leavings until everyone else has had their pick

Mrs. Zhou, did you go to my aunt’s place?

Her Ladyship was there. I went there to give her a message.

Aunt Xue let me bring it by the way

What was Miss Bao-chai doing?

Why hasn’t she been round these last few days?

She's not feeling well these two days

You go and see her

Just say Miss Lin and I ask you

to send our regards to her and Aunt Xue.

Ask her what her illness is

and what medicine she is taking now.

OK

Say that I really ought to go myself,

but that as I’ve just got back from outside

and have caught a bit of a cold too, I shall be coming round another day

Eh

I'm thinking about you are too noble for me

and not coming today.

I've thought of not coming

but I'm afraid that will make you look bad on your old face

so I just reward you for this honour

Well, Dear Mrs. Zhen (Miss You) and the young Mrs. Rong (Qin Ke-qing)

what did you invite me for today?

Do you have something good to honor me?

Hand it over quickly,

I have something else to do

You'll know it later

Jia Rong

Greetings to Aunt and Uncle Baoyu

Isn't your father (Jia Zhen) at home today?

He's gone to Xuanzhen Temple to greet the Grand Master (Jia Jing)

What a coincidence today

My brother Qin Zhong that Uncle Baoyu wanted to see last time

was here today

He might be reading a book in the study right now.

Uncle Baoyu, will you take a look?

Well now, What's the hurry?

So why not ask him in here?

Let me see him, too.

Forget it. Never mind

We used to the rough, rowdy ways in our family

They are all quiet and refined in other familys.

If he was to meet a termagant like you, he might die of laughing

laughing? For everyone all over the world,

he’ll be lucky if I don’t laugh at him. How dare a child laugh at me?

It’s not that, aunt. He's shy

and hasn’t seen much of the world. I'm afraid that might irritate you when you see him.

Bullshit of your mom! If you don't fetch him in at once

I’ll give you a good slap

I win again

What's wrong with our luck today?

We two can't beat her alone

Mrs. Zhen

Who is assigned to send Mr. Qin Zhong home?

Jiao Da

Why did you bother him?

Any of the younger ones would have done

I always said you were too soft with your servants

Fancy letting them have their own way like this

I know Jiao Da exactly

Even my father-in-law ignores him

So does my husband Jia Zhen

It's just because when he was young, he went out on three or four expeditions with our great-grandfather,

carried him off a battlefield heaped with corpses

and saved his life.

Without food to eat,

he finally stole something

and give the master to eat.

Without water to drink for two days,

he got half a bowl of water and give the master to drink.

He drink horse urine himself.

That Jiao Da is just relying on these merits.

He was always given special treatment during great-Grandfather’s lifetime

Now who is willing to make it difficult for him?

He’s grown old

and let himself go completely,

blindly drinking and

abusing everybody once drunk. I told the steward

to behave exactly as though he were dead

and don't send him on errands, why did you send him again today?

Wouldn't it be over to send him to the Grange?

Why hesitate?

Is our carriage ready?

Ready

Oh, I should go.

Baoyu

Unfair

Bullying the weak and fearing the hard! The bastard without conscience!

When it’s a question of seeing someone home in pitch bloody darkness, you pick on me.

Don’t you even think about it?

Grand Jiao just lift one foot up, and it will be higher than your head.

Tie him up. When he sobers up tomorrow

ask him whether he is still so eager for death

I didn’t give a damn for anyone,

not to mention you bastards, you crew of turtle-eggs.

Shut up

young Brother Rong

Don't you try to lord it over Jiao Da.

Don't say it's you, even your father

and your grandfather don't dare to stand up to Jiao Da.

If not for me, and me alone,

How can you enjoy glory and wealth?

Your ancestors narrowly escaped death to earn this family fortune.

Until now, you don't repay my favor

Shut up

Instead you put on your Big Master act with me.

It's okay if you don't talk about anything else.

If anything else,

Let's have a "red knife in and white knife out"
(Drunk man's language)

Let go of me, you mongrels

Jia Rong, why don't you get rid of this lawless wretch right now?

Yes

With this scourge here,

if the relatives and friends know,

won't they laugh at the lack of rules and order in such families like us?

Are you all dead? Go!

yes

I'll go to the Ancestral Temple and weep for my old master.

Little did he expect to have given birth to these beasts now.

What are you doing?

Day in and day out, you're a houseful of rutting dogs and bitches in heat,

some scratching in the ashes (father-in-law incest)

scratching in the ashes?

Sister, what is meant by "scratching in the ashes”?

Stop talking nonsense, that's the nonsense of a drunk

What’s come over you? You not only listen to
drunken raving

but have to ask questions too. Just wait until I tell your mother,

you’ll pay for this with a thrashing.

Dear sister, I promise not to do it again.

some carrying on with younger brothers-in-law
