In this short scene, we learn that the previous owner of the Ming family was a loser in the talent contest. He couldn't play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, for example, because he's so young. He also doesn't have enough money to buy a new piano for his sister, who's about to learn how to play guqin. He tells his mother to go to Ming's house and get her some piano for her sister. Ming is worried that his mother will find out that he lost his virginity, so he tells his mom not to tell anyone about it. He's also worried that if his mother becomes a formal wife, he won't be a princess. Ming says he'll go to a lake party and invite the Ming to go with him. Then Ming will propose marriage to his mother, and Ming will go to the lake party to propose to his own mother. Ming tells her mother that she's smart enough to know that the Ming lord will propose to her, so she'll invite him to the party and then invite him back. Ming then tells her sister that the three teachers at the piano school were "pissed off" when they found out that the sister wasn't happy with the piano. She tells Ming that her mother gave her the piano for free. Ming asks her sister to lend the piano to her for a while, so that she can play with it.
