Maybe it's an invitation to the wedding.

说不定是请你去参加婚礼呢
It's the social event of the year...

Yes, but what does the letter say?

是信里怎么说
In good time, doctor.

别急啊医生
Now, this is the funny anecdote I've been promising to tell you.

我不是一直说要给你讲个趣闻嘛
Oh, what a time!

真会挑时候
Palchikov, the clerk, and the tale of the dazzling trousers.

小职员帕奇科夫和华丽的裤子
Give me the note and I'll read it.

把信给我我自己读
Certainly not, you're naked.

没戏你还光着呢
Where was I? Oh yeah...

我说到哪了对了
Palchikov, the clerk.

小职员帕奇科夫
