In this chapter, we learn that the master of the mansion is an old friend of the family. He's just come to give his wife and daughter-in-law a new taste of home. He tells them that he's staying in the city for a while, but that he needs to buy some furniture and land. He also wants to call on his sister, who is still in China. He says that she's very happy, and that he hopes she'll always be happy. He asks if they can see the end of the room, and then he says that he is the relative granddaughter of the current emperor. He wants to know if he can stand near the end, and if he'll be able to stand there and write on the wall with his hand. He then says that the emperor's daughter is going to get humiliated today, so he wants to take her leader and make her assistant the current emperor. He adds that the guests will laugh at him, since he is such a fool. The next quest is to find a bamboo pole that can be used to get food out of the table. The lady wants to use the pole to get a drink from the table, but the master doesn't want to use it.
