The next day, Qian Manjiang and Pan Yue went with their family to bid farewell to the Pan family. Qian Manjiang went to the outer courtyard to see Prince Consort Pan, while Pan Yue led her three children straight to Old Madam Pan's Crane Year Hall.
Except for the self-willed Prince Consort Pan, all of the adult men in the Pan family taught at the Songpan Academy, and the underage boys studied there, even the seven-year-old child prodigy, Brother Jie, who attended classes with people much older than him. Only two young boys remained at home, the four-year-old Yi Gege and the two-year-old eldest son of Master Pan Yuanqing, Lang Gege.
