the next morning the moment Pao-yue awoke, some one came in to tell him that young Mr. Jung, living in the mansion on the other side, had brought Chin Chung to pay him a visit.
Pao-yue speedily went out to GREet them and to take them over to pay their respects to dowager lady Chia. Her venerable ladyship upon perceiving that Chin Chung, with his handsome countenance, and his refined manners, would be a fit companion for Pao-yue in his studies, felt extremely delighted at heart; and having readily detained him to tea, and kept him to dinner, she went further and directed a servant to escort him to see madame Wang and the rest of the family.
With the fond regard of the whole household for Mrs. Chin, they were, when they saw what a kind of person Chin Chung was, so enchanted with him, that at the time of his departure, they all had presents to give him; even dowager lady Chia herself presented him with a purse and a golden image of the God of Learning, with a view that it should incite him to study and harmony.
Your house, she further advised him, is far off, and when its cold or hot, it would be inconvenient for you to come all that way, so you had better come and live over here with me. Youll then be always with your cousin Pao-yue, and you wont be together, in your studies, with those fellow-pupils of yours who have no idea what proGREss means.
