to use one's position for personal gain (idiom)

drop a thousand “zhang” in one fall

bite phrases and chew character

do things simply and thriftily

conceal one's identity(keep one's identity hidden; live in incognito)

talk in earnest

opponent and foe

wallow in money

lead a wolf into one's house

stake a thousand taels of silver at one throw

everything in good order and well arranged

be eager to have a try

be too busy with seeing guests

in about a year

just the tiniest bit; a hint of

wave flags and shout battle cries(bang the drum for somebody, sound the clarion)

some official appointment

rising and falling in cadence

exactly as it is

stride away with the head in the air
