The next day, Caio Ling tells his parents that a matchmaker has come to their house to talk to him about a match. They have already rejected the match, and Caio Ming tells his father that he will be coming of age at the end of the year and will need to find a family for him to marry into, since he will have to take his exams at the age of twenty-one.
