《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记三十九》
这之前，我没有什么东西作见面礼，拿了两枚水晶印章一并送进去馈赠，怎么一并收进去后，竟然没有回音。我再三索要回贴，众人都互相推楼，好像希望我走了就算了的样子。我不得已，前去叩拜一个姓刘的掌管案犊文书的人，对他讲了其中的缘故。
刘曰： 昨误以为银硃薄物，竟漫置之，不意其为宝物也传世的贵重物品，当即入言。
Before this, I did not have anything to give as a gift, so I took two crystal seals and sent them in as gifts. How could they have accepted them both without saying anything? I repeatedly asked for a reply, but everyone kept passing the buck, as if hoping that I would leave everything as it was. I had no choice but to go and kowtow to a clerk in charge of documents named Liu and told him everything that had happened.
