My uncle, your brother, suggested Hsueeh Pan, has just been raised to an appointment in an outside province, so that, of course, in his house, things must be topsy-turvey, on account of his departure; and should we betake ourselves, like a hive of bees and a long trail, to him for shelter; wont we appear very inconsiderate?
Your uncle, remarked his mother, is, it is true, going on promotion, but theres besides the house of your aunt, my sister. What is more, during these last few years from both your uncles and aunts have, time after time, been sent messages, and letters forwarded, asking us to come over; and now that weve come, is it likely, though your uncle is busy with his preparations to start on his journey, that your aunt of the Chia family wont do all she can to press us to stay? Besides, were we to have our house got ready in a scramble, wont it make people think it strange? I however know your idea very well that were we kept to stay at your uncles and aunts, you wont escape being under strict restraint, unlike what would be the case were we to live in our own house, as you would be free then to act as you please! Such being the case, go, on your own account, and choose some place to take up your quarters in, while I myself, who have been separated from your aunt and cousins for these several years, would however like to stay with them for a few days; and Ill go along with your sister and look up your aunt at her home. What do you say; will this suit you or not?
