Bai Qingyan noticed that the elder’s shoes and the hem of his long robe were slightly wet. She realized that the elderly man had probably walked all the way without taking a carriage. Soon, she understood his identity and bowed respectfully to him: "Greetings, Mr. Min."
The renowned scholar of Wei Kingdom, Min Qianqiu, was someone Bai Qingyan had never met, but she had long heard of his reputation. In the past, her respected teacher, Mr. Guan Yongchong, had also mentioned this great scholar.
Seeing Bai Qingyan bow in greeting, the guards of the Bai family, including Lu Ping, quickly followed suit and bowed to Mr. Min Qianqiu.

The news of Mr. Min Qianqiu’s visit to Bai Mansion was sent back by Lu Ping’s men in advance.
Fortunately, Mrs. Dong had already made preparations and had tidied up an elegant and tranquil courtyard in the front yard for Mr. Min Qianqiu’s residence.
Upon hearing from the people Bai Qingyan sent back that Mr. Min Qianqiu was coming, Mrs. Dong calmly arranged for Mr. Min’s favorite pastries and dishes to be delivered to his lodging.
Over these days, while Mr. Min Qianqiu was staying at the inn, Mrs. Dong discreetly sent people to find out about his daily preferences and habits. They discovered what kind of people he liked to have around him, what kind of teaware he used, and even what type of tea he preferred.
