Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Course of Mandarin Lessons, Based on Idiom
I have brought for him a letter and a. Bundle of silver. Ask him to come in person and get them. Not to speak of the land he has, the rent of these three houses alone is more than sufficient for the support of a family of five. When the two armies joined battle, nothing could be seen but a cloud of smoke. Although you have a fortune of ten thousand strings [of cash], yet when you die you cannot take with you a. Single cash. When I saw this affair I felt very indignant. How could any one wrong another to such a degree as this? Not only must the husband be able to earn, but the wife must know how to save. If, while the husband earns a board in the fields, the wife runs through with a door at home, his being able to earn money will be of no avail.
