Chia Chen wept so bitterly that he was like a man of tears.
Chia Chen assented. "There's no necessity," he went on to explain, "to keep any other birds in here, but only to rear a few geese, ducks, fowls and such like; as in that case they will be in perfect keeping with the place." "A splendid idea!" Chia Cheng rejoined, along with all the party.
Another person recommended "the remaining vestiges of the Chue Garden." "This too is commonplace!" replied Chia Cheng. "Let brother Pao-yue again propound one!" interposed Chia Chen, who stood by. "Before he composes any himself," Chia Cheng continued, "his wont is to first discuss the pros and cons of those of others; so it's evident that he's an impudent fellow!"
When Chia Chen had exhausted the list, "Bring him in!" he cried. In a little time, he perceived Wu Chin-hsiao make his appearance inside. But simply halting in the court, he bumped his head on the ground and paid his respects. Chia Chen desired a servant to raise him up. "You're still so hale!" he smiled.
"After all," observed Li Wan, "it's the Princess of Heng Wu, who expresses herself to the point."

Chia Chen had already arrived at a fixed purpose, so that he seized an opportunity to tell him of his wish to purchase an office for Chia Jung's advancement. Tai Ch'uean understood the purport of his remark.

On this day, Chia Chen and the others came to tell Chia Cheng that the works in the garden had all been reported as completed, and that Mr. Chia She had already inspected them.

But while the Chih' Yuen had been piling up successes for herself, and earning laurels for her brave young skipper's brow laurels with which the Chinese Government was afterwards only too proud to crown him and while the gallant Englishman who captained the battleship Chen Yuen had been engaging no fewer than five Japanese ships at one and the same time, ay, and beating them off, too, matters had been going badly for the rest of the Chinese fleet.
