Yuan Tong has been trying to talk to Chen Caozhi since the last Tianque Mountain Elegant Gathering and Wen Lin's plan to expel Zhu Yingtai. He learned that Chen Caozhi painted for Waguan Temple, and the Xie Mansion did not invite the children of the aristocratic families in Beijing to participate in the event.

The creditor did not know Yuan Dan, so they played together in the game, and Yuan Dan jumped into the horse and screamed.
, as if there was no one around, he went straight to millions of dollars and won a great victory. He threw his cloth hat in front of the creditor and said, "Do you know Yuan Yan's way?"
This Yuan Dan was the father of Yuan Zeng. Yuan Zeng was also fond of gambling, so he and Zhuge Zeng jointly paid 600,000 gambling dollars for Chen Caozhi to argue with Zhu Yingtai.
