In contemporary Beijing, in front of the Qianmen Dashilan area, specifically before Ruifuxiang's storefront, crowds of people bustle about. In 1867, in a teahouse from Zhangqiu, Shandong, a dashing young man skillfully assisted three brothers in dividing an inherited chest of silver ingots. The three brothers were extremely grateful, and as they parted ways, the young man introduced himself: "My surname is Meng, given name Jisheng, courtesy name Luochuan." Meng Luochuan's mother, Lady Gao, had always taken Mother Meng (Mencius' mother) as her role model. Now, facing her son who had successively driven away three tutors, she was deeply worried. News came from Beijing that the silk and cloth shop had been sealed due to offending Prince Cheng of the Gong王府 (Gong王府).
