A Splendid Match

I suspect Mr. Chen wanted me

to take charge of the next task.

After all, I've had the experience.

But... Mr. Chen really ought not to.

Land equalization is dangerous enough as it is,

and you're up in years. Why treat you like an able-bodied laborer?

There's no other choice.

Grandma, Let me go with you tomorrow.

The land equalization in Tongzhou was a great success.

I saw Mrs. Chen growing anxious waiting,

so I volunteered to come fetch you.

I shall take my leave first.

about official affairs in days to come, I shall seek your counsel.

You flatter me.

Mr. Chen, your ink bamboo painting grows ever more vivid and lifelike.

You're here. Come in and speak.

Did your grandma send you to say this?

She has never told me anything about land equalization.

and since ancient times, it has never been achieved without bloodshed.

it nearly cost Grandma half her life.

I can take over all of Grandma's responsibilities.

You cannot take the place of your Grandma.

Everyone knows Grandma dotes on me most.

and fear no hardship in traveling to and fro.
