 The fact is that this Omen Merchant was, in an extraordinary degree, a man with an eye to the main chance, and devoid of any sense of propriety. His wont was at school to take advantage of public matters to serve his private interest, and to bring pressure upon his pupils with the intent that they should regale him. While subsequently he also lent his countenance to Dragon Marshgrass, scheming to get some money or eatables out of him, he left him entirely free to indulge in disorderly behaviour; and not only did he not go out of his way to hold him in check, but, on the contrary, he encouraged him, infamous though he was already, to become a bully, so as to curry favour with him. But this Dragon Marshgrass was, by nature, gifted with a fickle disposition; today, he would incline to the east, and tomorrow to the west, so that having recently obtained new friends, he put Fragrant Pretty and Jade Love aside.
 Honor Gold too was at one time an intimate friend of his, but ever since he had acquired the friendship of the two lads, Fragrant Pretty and Jade Love, he forthwith deposed Honor Gold. Of late, he had already come to look down upon even Fragrant Pretty and Jade Love, with the result that Honor Gold as well was deprived of those who could lend him support, or stand by him; but he bore Dragon Marshgrass no grudge, for wearying with old friends, as soon as he found new ones, but felt angry that Fragrant Pretty and Jade Love had not put in a word on his behalf with Dragon Marshgrass. Omen Merchant, Honor Gold and in fact the whole crowd of them were, for this reason, just harbouring a jealous grudge against these two, so that when he saw Clock Grain and Fragrant Pretty come on this occasion and lodge a complaint against Honor Gold, Omen Merchant readily felt displeasure creep into his heart; and, although he did not venture to call Clock Grain to account, he nevertheless made an example of Fragrant Pretty. And instead (of taking his part), he called him a busybody and denounced him in much abusive language, with the result that Fragrant Pretty did not, contrariwise, profit in any way, but brought displeasure upon himself. Even Clock Grain grumbled against the treatment, as each of them resumed their places. Honor Gold became still more haughty, and wagging his head and smacking his lips, he gave vent to many more abusive epithets; but as it happened that they also reached Jade Love's ears, the two of them, though seated apart, began an altercation in a loud tone of voice. Honor Gold, with obstinate pertinacity, clung to his version. "Just a short while back," he said, "I actually came upon them, as they were indulging in demonstrations of intimate friendship in the back court. These two had resolved to be one in close friendship, and were eloquent in their protestations.”

 Honor Gold laughed,"I don't mind your speaking, but why am I not allowed to cough? I just want to ask you, that if you have anything to say, why not utter it in intelligible language? Why do you speak so sneakily? But I have sure enough found you out, and you can't deny it! But if you will, first of all, let me partake of a share in your little game, you and I can hold our tongue and utter not a word. If not, let’s turn the matter over."

 Firstly Honor Gold and Aged-boy did not agree until Precious Jade said:” It is OK not to leave as long as Honor Gold makes an apology.” Honor Gold refused to apologize at first. Then Omen Merchant also forced him to just apologize but Honor Gold did not follow his instruction. So Dear Present had to talked him into saying sorry to Aged-boy. Dear Present said:” It was you who stirred up the trouble; if you did not apologize to Aged-boy, when would this matter end?” Honor Gold had no choice but to bow and scrape to Aged-boy. But Precious Jade did not content with this and insisted that Honor Gold must kotow. Omen Merchant only wanted to settle down this matter temporarily, quietly persuading Honor Gold:” As the saying goes, Swallowing the short-lived tears, gaining the permanent happiness.” Whether Honor Gold followed or not would be stated in the next chapter.
 Chapter 10 Widow Gold Being Humiliated For Greediness of Power Imperial Physician Zhang Digging Sources to Details of Diseases
 Last chapter referred that because of safety in numbers, Honor Gold made an apology which Omen Merchant talked into, and he then kotowed to Aged-boy until Precious Jade did not shouted. The school was over. After coming home, Honor Gold was much angrier when recalling today’s experience, saying:” Aged-boy was just the younger brother of Lotus Merchant and not the descendant of the Merchants. He was just a transient student the same as me, but he was on the high ropes because of Precious Jade’s love. In this case, he should have done something good about which I have nothing to criticize. He usually hung around with Precious Jade, regarding all people as the blind. Today I happened to see that Aged-boy hooked up others again. I would fear nothing if I picked up a fight on purpose.
 His mother, Mrs. Hu, listened him muttering to himself , saying:” Which thing do you pose your nose into? It took such a big effort to beg your aunt and your aunt spared no efforts to beg the Lian’s  second daughter-in-law in Western Mansion that you could study there. If we do not rely on them, can we afford to teachers through our own strength? Besides, they offer free books and meals. If you study there for two years, we can save more money for our family. And the left money can be used to buy your favorite colorful clothes. What’s more, because of you studying there, you would get acquainted with Uncle Xue, who sponsors us 350-400g silver a year.”--[[User:Wang Qinyu|Wang Qinyu]] ([[User talk:Wang Qinyu|talk]]) 04:37, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

 At these words, Clock Grain and Fragrant Pretty were so exasperated that their blood rushed up to their faces. "What have you found out?" They hastily asked. Replied Honor Gold smiling, "What I have now detected is the plain truth!" And saying this he went on to clap his hands and to call out with a loud voice as he laughed: "They have moulded some nice well-baked cakes, won't you fellows come and buy one to eat!" (These two have been up to larks, won't you come and have some fun!) Both Clock Grain and Fragrant Pretty felt resentful as well as fuming with rage, and with hurried step they went in, in search of Omen Merchant, to whom they reported Honor Gold, explaining that Honor Gold had insulted them both without any rhyme or reason.
 The fact is that this Omen Merchant was, in an extraordinary degree, a man with an eye to the main chance, and devoid of any sense of propriety. His wont was at school to take advantage of public matters to serve his private interest, and to bring pressure upon his pupils with the intent that they should regale him. While subsequently he also lent his countenance to Dragon Marshgrass, scheming to get some money or eatables out of him, he left him entirely free to indulge in disorderly behaviour; and not only did he not go out of his way to hold him in check, but, on the contrary, he encouraged him, infamous though he was already, to become a bully, so as to curry favour with him. But this Dragon Marshgrass was, by nature, gifted with a fickle disposition; today, he would incline to the east, and tomorrow to the west, so that having recently obtained new friends, he put Fragrant Pretty and Jade Love aside.
