In their number was one Chang Te-hui, who from his early years filled the post of manager in Hsueeh P'an's pawnshop; and who enjoyed in his home a living of two or three thousand taels. His purpose too was to visit his native place this year, and to return the following spring.
"And could one, by spending a small sum, make him learn something profitable, it will be well worth!" They then matured their plans; and nothing further of any note transpired during the rest of the night. The next day, Mrs. Hsueeh sent a messenger to invite Chang Te-hui to come round. On his arrival, she charged Hsueeh P'an to regale him in the library.
Besides I'm not a girl that you should coop me up at home! And when is this likely to come to an end? Chang Te-hui is, moreover, a man well up in years; and he is an old friend of our family, so if I go with him, how ever will I be able to do anything that's wrong? Should I at any time be guilty of any impropriety, he will be sure to speak to me, and to exhort me.
Then appearing, in person, outside the window of the covered back passage, she made thousand of appeals to Chang Te-hui to look after her son and take good care of him. Chang Te-hui assented to her solicitations with profuse assurances, and took his leave after the collation. "The fourteenth," he went on to explain to Hsueeh P'an. "is a propitious day to start.
It's true I call myself a merchant; but I've never in point of fact handled the scales or the abacus. Nor do I know anything about our territories, customs and manners, distances and routes. So wouldn't it be advisable that I should also get ready some of my capital, and go on a tour with Chang Te-hui for a year or so? Whether I earn any money or not, will be equally immaterial to me.
