Story synopsis
The narrator wants to ask Yanluo about the origin of the jade hairpin, but seeing her dazed while clutching the brocade box, he ultimately refrains from speaking. Every procedure of the wedding has been arranged in an orderly manner, yet no one seems to have asked for his wishes. Thinking of Tang Ying's situation of playing out the joys and sorrows of others on stage, he sings opera alone in the courtyard at night, channeling his vexation into the performance.
