On the third day at work, Biyuancheng makes a special soup for breakfast. It's called "salty snow fungus" and it's made with "white wood ear" , a natural fungus that grows in trees and is valued for its beauty and healing properties. The narrator explains that the soup is made with the "secret recipe" of Biyuan's family, which is not to be shared with outsiders. He'll just have to keep working at the manor. Biyuan says he'll take her leave, but he can't stop talking about the royal wedding. He says that soon, the bridal sedan will arrive for their biyuan, which means that they'll be able to get married in the royal palace. He tells Biyuan that the whole city saw her being taken away by Prince Qi's men, and that's why she's so happy to be back in the city. She says that she and her brother are counting on her to help them out with their small roadside stall, which isn't making much money.
