Chia Jung hastily signified his assent by several yess, and Chia Se also came forward to deliver his message. the mission to Ku Su, he explained, to find tutors, to purchase servant girls, and to obtain musical instruments, and theatrical properties and the like, my uncle has confided to me; and as Im to take along with me the two sons of a couple of majordomos, and two companions of the family, besides, Tan Ping-jen and Pei Ku-hsiu, he has, for this reason, enjoined me to come and see you, uncle.
Upon hearing this, Chia Lien scrutinised Chia Se. What! he asked, are you able to undertake these commissions? These matters are, its true, of no GREat moment; but theres something more hidden in them!
Chia Se smiled. the best thing I can do, he remarked, will be to execute them in my novice sort of way, thats all.
Chia Jung was standing next to lady Feng, out of the light of the lamp, and stealthily pulled the lapel of her dress. Lady Feng understood the hint, and putting on a smiling expression, You are too full of fears! she interposed. Is it likely that our uncle Chen doesnt, after all, know better than we do what men to employ, that you again give way to apprehensions that he isnt up to the mark! but who are those who are, in every respect, up to the mark? These young fellows have grown up already to this age, and if they havent eaten any pork, they have nevertheless seen a pig run. If Mr. Chen has deputed him to go, he is simply meant to sit under the generals standard; and do you imagine, forsooth, that he has, in real earnest, told him to go and bargain about the purchase money, and to interview the brokers himself? My own idea is that (the choice) is a very good one.
