It's time for lunch, and Lin wants to take a rest. He's not only a good artist, he's also a promising cook. He tells his sister that she's changed a lot in the past few years, and he wants her to behave herself. He also tells her that the manuscript must not be published in the public, or anyone else will be able to read it, or else they'll be unable to earn money. He says that if she catches sight of him, she'll turn into a "very stupid girl" the next day. He doesn't want her to sleep with him as well. He asks her how much they're going to sell their books for, and she says five taels for each book. She says that the poor who want to work as servants don't have the money to buy their books, so they won't buy them. They're useless, she says, and that's the reason they can't sell the books at a good price. She tells him that the last day of registration is coming up, and the mansion is packed with people. He offers to give her a special deal if she thinks it's too expensive, but she refuses to listen to what he has to say. He reminds her that he needs someone to support him now. She reminds him that they are selling "special books" about eldest Miss Xiao , and it contains "the secret of winning" .
