Of course it is! observed Chia Lien; but it isnt that I entertain any wish to be factious; my only object is to devise some plan or other for him. Whence will, he therefore went on to ask, the money required for this purpose come from?
A little while ago the deliberations reached this point, rejoined Chia Se; and Mr. Lai suggested that there was no necessity at all to take any funds from the capital, as the Chen family, in Chiang Nan, had still in their possession Tls. 50,000 of our money. That he would to-morrow write a letter of advice and a draft for us to take along, and that we should, first of all, obtain cash to the amount of Tls. 30,000, and let the balance of Tls. 20,000 remain over, for the purchase of painted lanterns, and coloured candles, as well as for the outlay for every kind of portieres, banners, curtains and streamers.
Chia Lien nodded his head. This plan is first-rate! he added.
Since that be so, observed lady Feng, as she addressed herself to Chia Se, ve two able and reliable men; and if you would take them with you, to attend to these matters, wont it be to your convenience?
Chia Se forced a smile. I was just on the point, he rejoined, of asking you, aunt, for the loan of two men, so that this suggestion is a strange coincidence.
As he went on to ascertain what were their names, lady Feng inquired what they were of nurse Chao. But nurse Chao had, by this time, become quite dazed from listening to the conversation, and Ping Erh had to give her a push, as she smiled, before she returned to consciousness. The one, she hastened to reply, is called Chao Tien-liang and the other Chao Tien-tung.
