1. The bondage of feudal ethics: Although Cui Yingying is Miss Guo Xiang, she is deeply bound by feudal ethics and believes that her behavior should conform to the provisions of feudal ethics. In the feudal society at that time, women should remain chaste and not have private contact with men at will. Although he has feelings for Zhang, he is worried that his behavior will be criticized and accused, so he hesitates.

2. Beware of the matchmaker: The matchmaker is Cui Yingying's personal maid. Although she helped Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng develop their feelings, Cui Yingying always kept a certain vigilance against the matchmaker. Cui Yingying is worried that the matchmaker will expose her private contact with Zhang Sheng, thus causing unnecessary trouble and interference.
