"I said I wanted to stay and watch the house, but Jing wouldn't feel at ease leaving us here."
"Xiang'er is a grown woman now. Jing said he has a few like-minded friends in the Prefecture, and their families have young men around Xiang'er's age. He wants us to go over and take a look."
"I won't be staying permanently. Once the children are settled, I'll come back."
"A golden house or a silver one is no match for our own little home. I'm more comfortable living in the village."
People came and went, and by evening, the news that Zhao Jing was taking his whole family to the Prefecture had spread throughout the entire village.
Mr. Zhao and several other elders personally came to their door to ask Zhao Jing if the rumor was true.
Zhao Jing naturally nodded and went on to explain the imperial envoy's hint.
