Record of Places Outside the Tributaries

[Mo] Please invite Aunt Fei Hong. Ask the young lady to come and meet her cousin. Tie exits and returns, whispering. The young lady has not yet finished dressing. Wai/Aunt Third cousin is a family member. It does not matter if she comes out to see him without being fully adorned. Tie exits and returns with Dan.
[Dan] Outside the railing, the new flowers bloom for another year. The bees linger before the embroidered window. I have no heart to toy with the golden needle or the embroidery frame. I only adjust my hairpin and clear away the incense smoke.
[Tie] Elder sister, today you have not applied rouge or powder, and your hair is tied in twin buns; you look all the more charming.
A description of her appearance.

[Dan] My messy hair is coiled low in the Han Palace style. She covers her temple. I fear this golden hairpin might slide off. Beside the hairpin, I insert a golden phoenix. My clothes are truly exquisite. On my body, I wear a soft, brocaded lotus-silk skirt. My mother is waiting in the hall. You have been walking for a long time. I have just turned past the emerald-green embroidered curtains. This is exactly what a delicate, graceful young lady looks like in the mists and rains of Wushan. Dan

This describes her seclusion, and also describes her emotions.

[Dan] I have just finished embroidering a pair of mandarin ducks in my sewing room. I was about to put away my golden needle and look at the crabapple blossoms when I saw young Mei Xiang. She gently tapped the small gauze window. [Tie] Cousin Shen is here. The Mistress is urging you. [Dan] You say the old mistress is holding a banquet in the main hall? Let me steal a glance.
Even more wonderful.

[Dan] He is a jade-faced gentleman in a crane-patterned robe. She comes out to meet him. [Wai/Aunt] Third cousin, you have come from afar. Child, you should offer your cousin a cup of wine. Dan offers the wine, Sheng accepts. Ah, this young lady is truly beautiful.
Jade Intertwined Branch (Yu Jiao Zhi)
[Sheng] Suddenly I see a celestial being descending. A beautiful face with clouds and mists on her garments. A natural, world-class beauty, not an ordinary person. Watching her graceful, gliding steps as she reaches the center of the hall. Her emerald cheeks bloom with spring, and there is a fragrance like jade.
