As Double Blessing handed the books to her master, she told him about the slamming and bolting of the pass-door. Li Ming was greatly incensed by this act of his brothers, and ordered the girl to go and slam and bolt the other pass-door, which was in the front part of the house. The girl obeyed her masters order with the greatest pleasure, and even went so far as to slam the door twice before bolting it.However, her pleasure was very short-lived. When she came to report to her master what she had done, Li Ming had had his second thoughts. Li Kang had shut the door which he generally used to go to the barns because he had no more rice stored there. But Li Ming could by no means afford to take revenge in the same manner. For Li Kangs garden, the only way to get to which was now through the other pass-door, was full of vegetables that Li Ming had recently planted. So the unfortunate Double Blessing was now told to go back and re-open the pass-door as softly as she could possibly contrive.
