Long hangong is secretly asking Cui to marry him. He wants Cui to accompany him to the frontier so that he can lead the family against the enemy. Cui says that escorting supplies is a difficult mission, but that he still wants to be with her forever. She tells him to bring some dawan horses with him so that she can pull the car when the enemy forces her to flee. He tells her to pack up all her things and go. He says that his daughter and the emperor see the family as a "pain in the asses" and that they want Cui to build up an army for the family to defend themselves. He also tells her that he has changed his hairstyle and that he is going back to the kingdom tomorrow. This jewelry reminds him of Cui's last piece of cuju, and he makes a purse out of it.
