    Fourth Mistress, who was standing behind Third Master, laughed. "They say you shouldn't talk about money with your own flesh and blood. Once you start the money talk, there's all too much to say! I've been telling Fourth Master, telling him for a long time now: 'Old Four, you'd better warn
    Third Master. When you two buy gold, or buy stocks, don't use Sixth Sister's money. It will bring you bad luck! As soon as she got married, her husband spent all his family's money.Then she came back here, and now her family, as everyone can see, is going bank­rupt. A real bad­luck comet, that one!'" 
    四奶奶站在三爷背后,笑了一声道:“自己骨肉,照说不该提钱的话。提起钱来,这话可就长了!我早就跟我们老四说过——我说:老四你去劝劝三爷,你们做金子,做股票,不能用六姑奶奶的钱呐,没的沾上了晦气!她一嫁到了婆家,丈夫就变成了败家子。回到娘家来,眼见得娘家就要败光了——天生的扫帚星!”三爷道:“四奶奶这话有理。我们那时候,如果没让她入股子,决不至于弄得一败涂地!

    Third Master said, "Fourth Mistress is right. If we hadn't let her into those stock deals, we never would have lost all our property!"
    ”三爷道:“四奶奶这话有理。我们那时候,如果没让她入股子,决不至于弄得一败涂地!” 

    Liusu shook with fury; her lower jaw quivered so hard that it seemed ready to drop off. She clamped the half­-embroidered slipper to it.
    流苏气得浑身乱颤,把一双绣了一半的拖鞋面子抵住了下颔,下颔抖得仿佛要落下来。

    #Vocabulary#
    quivered
    Scaredy cats around the globe know that quivering is a trembling, shaking motion. A cold gust of wind might make you quiver, as would an icy glare from the abominable snowman.
