this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the
intention of making all public domain books available in printed
format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book
never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature
projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work,
tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As
a reader of a TREDITION CLASSICS book, you support our mission to
save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.
Shih Jung perceiving the perspicacity of his speech and the
propriety of his utterances, simultaneously turned towards Chia
Chen and observed with a smile on his face: "Your worthy son is, in
very truth, like the young of a dragon or like the nestling of a
phoenix! and this isn't an idle compliment which I, a despicable
prince, utter in your venerable presence! But how much more
glorious will be, in the future, the voice of the young phoenix
than that of the old phoenix, it isn't easy to ascertain."
I just now simply spoke in jest about those cups in order to induce
them to laugh, old goody Liu at these words, mused within herself,
"but, who would have thought that she actually has some of the
kind. I've often been to the large households of village gentry on
a visit, and even been to banquets there and seen both gold cups
and silver cups; but never have I beheld any wooden ones about! Ah,
of course! They must, I expect, be the wooden bowls used by the
young children. Their object must be to inveigle me to have a
couple of bowlfuls more than is good for me! But I don't mind it.
This wine is, verily, like honey, so if I drink a little more, it
won't do me any harm."
