"The almanac gives the nineteenth as a good day for travelling, " he went on, addressing Yu-cun again. "You can set about hiring a boat for the journey straight away. How delightful it will be to meet again next winter when you have distinguished yourself by soaring to the top over all the other candidates!"
又云：“十九日乃黄道之期，兄可即买舟西上，待雄飞高举，明冬再晤，岂非大快之事耶！”
Yu-cun acepted the silver and the clothes with only the most perfunctory word of thanks and without, apparently, giving them a further moment's thought, for the continued to drink and laugh and talk as if nothing had happened. It was well after midnight before they broke up.

He said to tell you, "A scholar should not concern himself with almanacs, but should act as the situation demands," and he said there wasn't time to say good-bye." So Shi-yin was obliged to let the matter drop.
“和尚说，贾爷今日五鼓已进京去了，也曾留下话与和尚转达老爷，说‘读书人不在黄道黑道，总以事理为要，不及面辞了。’”士隐听了，也只得罢了。
