Miss , who has been practicing the piano all day, has lost the contest. Miss zi says that she is afraid that Miss jiao will try to take it back on her. She asks why no one has brought her sister to the contest, and she wonders if the woman in the black veil is a beauty or not. She wonders if a woman is so shady that she attracts people, and if she is so ugly that she puts on an act. She says that women and men should not be so close, and that she does not want to misunderstand. The bamboo basket is full of prizes, and the winner of the contest will receive a prize in the basket of the lute that the person who supports him or her likes best. The owner of the bamboo basket says that if the winner cannot play the lute, he or she should not pretend to be the one who is in the way. He says that the original owner was bullied because he couldn't speak, and now that he can, he can speak. He invites the young woman to go boating and enjoy the wine with him.
