及平原君母死，陸生素與平原君善，過之。 When the Lord of Pingyuan's mother died, Lu Jia, who had long been on good terms with him, went to pay his respects.

陸生往見辟陽侯，賀曰：「平原君母死。」 Lu Jia went to see the Marquis of Biyang and congratulated him, saying: 'The Lord of Pingyuan's mother has died.'

辟陽侯曰：「平原君母死，何乃賀我乎？」 The Marquis of Biyang said: 'The Lord of Pingyuan's mother has died—why then do you congratulate me?'

陸賈曰：「前日君侯欲知平原君，平原君義不知君，以其母故。 Lu Jia said: 'Previously Your Lordship desired to know the Lord of Pingyuan, but the Lord of Pingyuan, out of righteousness, did not know Your Lordship because of his mother.

今其母死，君誠厚送喪，則彼為君死矣。」 Now that his mother has died, if Your Lordship truly sends generous funeral gifts, then he will die for Your Lordship.'
