The prince bore his fright as best he could, and had the Provisions Officer invite the monks to eat in the Gauze-Airing Pavilion.

奈著 is to put up with, to endure — 著 is zhe here, marking the enduring as something he keeps doing. 暴紗亭 is the Gauze-Airing Pavilion, a garden building where silk was spread out in the sun, and it becomes the pilgrims' base for the rest of the chapter. Sending them to it is a small diplomatic manoeuvre: they are honoured guests, and they are eating somewhere else.

三sān藏zàng謝xiè了le恩ēn,辭cí王wáng下xià殿diàn,同tóng至zhì亭tíng內nèi,埋mán怨yuàn八bā戒jiè道dào:「你nǐ這zhè夯hāng貨huò,全quán不bù知zhī一yì毫háo禮lǐ體tǐ。 三sān藏zàng谢xiè了le恩ēn,辞cí王wáng下xià殿diàn,同tóng至zhì亭tíng内nèi,埋mán怨yuàn八bā戒jiè道dào:「你nǐ这zhè夯hāng货huò,全quán不bù知zhī一yì毫háo礼lǐ体tǐ。

Tripitaka gave thanks for the favour, took his leave of the prince, descended from the hall, went with the others into the pavilion, and there complained at Bajie: "You clod, you have not the least notion of proper conduct.

埋怨, to grumble at someone, is read with its first character in the sense of blame rather than burial, and it is still the ordinary modern word for nagging complaint. 夯貨 is one of the novel's standing insults for Bajie — a lumpish, heavy, stupid thing, roughly clod or lummox. 禮體 is the whole shape of proper form. Tripitaka has waited until they are out of earshot, which is at least something.


總評 Commentary

Tripitaka does the entire courtly exit — thanks, leave-taking, descent from the hall — and rounds on his disciple the moment the door is shut. The sequence is deliberate and very well observed.

The pavilion is where the rest of the chapter happens. It is a garden building for drying silk, not a state room, and the pilgrims will eat there, sleep there, teach there and receive the princes there.
