The Grand Dowager laughed warmly as she received the gift, waving her hand, "This child is truly beautiful, what is her name?" The young lady lowered her head, blushing as she replied, "Le Xiu, the Xiu in 'red sleeves add fragrance.'"
"A lovely name, a lovely name! If one could have such a beauty with red sleeves adding fragrance, one could henceforth seek Moxiang elsewhere, for it would no longer scent the same."
Le Xiu blushed, and everyone laughed along with her. Xiqiu glanced at Madam Qian and Madam Ruan, noticing their eyes were filled with satisfaction and anticipation.
The Grand Dowager then asked Ruan Pingrong a few questions and pulled the somewhat shy Miss Qian to sit by her side: "...Just sit here with me; even your mother often sits by my side to act coquettishly."
Madam Qian covered her face, laughing: "You are just like my own mother, so naturally, I would act coquettish in front of my dear mother."
The entire room burst into laughter.
