The disciple Yo-chang went in the train of Tsze-âo to Ch'î.Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Works of Mencius.
He came to see Mencius, who said to him, 'Are you also come to see me?' Yo-chang replied, 'Master, why do you speak such words?' 'How many days have you been here?' asked Mencius. 'I came yesterday.' 'Yesterday! Is it not with reason then that I thus speak?' 'My lodging-house was not arranged.' 'Have you heard that a scholar's lodging-house must be arranged before he visit his elder?'
Yo-chang said, 'I have done wrong.'
