The two young men arrive at the jian house, but they are not told of their arrival. The young man, who is called "qin minan," tells the two men that his uncle, "old master qin," has been missing him ever since he heard of his exile and solitude. He tells the men that the old master has instructed that the young woman, "the descendent of the qiu family," should return home with him. The two men, who are called "mujin ling" and "jianqiu," are shocked to learn that the woman is to marry the young man and return to the family of the qin. They are also shocked to hear that she has chosen to lower her social status by marrying the man of the same family. The old master and the young master are shocked at the news of the fight between the two families. They do not understand why the two young women are fighting, and they do not want to ask for the opinion of the woman of the first family.
