揪扯進房 Bajie Is Led In
行者道：「獃子，不要者囂，你那口裡娘也不知叫了多少，又是甚麼弄不成。快快的應承，帶攜我們吃些喜酒，也是好處。」他一隻手揪著八戒，一隻手扯住婦人道：「親家母，帶你女婿進去。」那獃子腳兒趄趄的要往那裡走。那婦人即喚童子：「展抹桌椅，鋪排晚齋，管待三位親家。我領姑夫房裡去也。」一壁廂又吩咐庖丁排筵設宴，明晨會親。那幾個童子又領命訖。他三眾吃了齋，急急鋪鋪，都在客座裡安歇不題。行者道：「呆子，不要者嚣，你那口里娘也不知叫了多少，又是甚么弄不成。快快的应承，带携我们吃些喜酒，也是好处。」他一只手揪着八戒，一只手扯住妇人道：「亲家母，带你女婿进去。」那呆子脚儿趄趄的要往那里走。那妇人即唤童子：「展抹桌椅，铺排晚斋，管待三位亲家。我领姑夫房里去也。」一壁厢又吩咐庖丁排筵设宴，明晨会亲。那几个童子又领命讫。他三众吃了斋，急急铺铺，都在客座里安歇不题。
逐句解 Line by line
Pilgrim said, "Blockhead, don't bluster — your mouth has called her 'Ma'am' who knows how many times already; what do you mean, 'it won't do'?"
者囂 is to bluster, to make a show. 你那口裡, out of that mouth of yours, takes 那 as nà; 甚麼 is shén me. Wukong will not let the performance stand for a second time.
"Hurry up and say yes — and stand us some wedding-wine into the bargain; that would be no bad thing."
應承, to assent, with 應 as yīng; 帶攜, to take others along, to stand them something; 喜酒 is wedding wine — and to this day, drinking somebody's 喜酒 is how Chinese says attending their wedding.
With one hand he gripped Bajie, with the other he seized the woman, and said, "Mother-in-law, take your son-in-law inside."
揪著, gripping, takes the running 著 (zhe). 親家母 is the mother on the other side of the match. The comedy has turned physical: Monkey has a fistful of each of them and is putting their hands together himself.
The blockhead, his feet shuffling and reluctant, made as if to go along.
腳兒趄趄, feet faltering and unsteady, with 兒 as the suffix; 往那裡走, to go off that way, with 那 as nà. The dragging feet are for the audience. The direction of travel is not in doubt.
The woman at once called the serving-lads: "Wipe down the tables and chairs, set out the evening meal, and attend to our three wedding-guests."
童子, serving-lads, takes 子 as the full noun zǐ. 展抹 is to wipe down; 鋪排晚齋, lay out the evening meatless meal, reads 鋪 as the verb pū, to spread; 管待, to look after guests.
"I will take our son-in-law off to his room."
姑夫 is used here in the familiar sense of the daughter's husband. 領 … 房裡去, lead him off to the room.
On the other side she gave orders besides to the cooks to lay on a banquet, for the marriage-gathering next morning.
一壁廂 is meanwhile, on the other side. 庖丁 is the cook — the word comes from the famous cook in Zhuangzi whose blade never blunted because he cut along the joints. 排筵設宴, spread the mats and set the feast; 明晨會親, the two families meeting next morning. She is ordering a banquet for a wedding she has no intention of holding.
The several serving-lads received their orders and withdrew.
童子 again with 子 as the full noun zǐ; 那 as nà. 領命訖, having received the order, with 訖 meaning done, completed.
The three of them ate their meal, hastily made up their beds, and all settled to rest in the guest-quarters — of which no more.
急急鋪鋪, hurriedly spreading out the bedding, with 鋪 as the verb pū; 都 as dōu. 不題, no more of this — the storyteller's way of closing one thread to pick up another, and here it shuts the door on three sleeping monks and leaves us alone with Bajie.
Wukong refuses to let the pretence stand. He throws it back once more — your mouth has called her Ma'am who knows how many times, so what do you mean it cannot be done — and sweetens the shove with the promise of wedding wine for everybody else. The exposure is complete. Bajie's own words, overheard at the gate, have left him nowhere to stand.
The comedy turns physical. Monkey takes a hand of each and puts them together, telling the widow plainly to take her son-in-law inside; and Bajie, feet dragging, makes his token show of reluctance while going exactly where he is led. The distance between his shuffling feet and his willing heart is the joke, and the novel does not need to point at it.
The passage closes in brisk domestic bustle — tables wiped, the evening meal laid, a banquet ordered for a morning that will never come, and three pilgrims eating and bedding down in the guest quarters. The storyteller's no-more-of-this shuts the frame on them and leaves Bajie to be led off alone into the interior of the house, and into the trap.
