A humble house, a loom, a stool, a table and four stools. There are teapots and teacups on the table. There is also a big bed beside the table, and there is a dresser on the right side of the bed. The loom faces the door. ]
Mulan: (facing the door sadly while knitting) Hey!
Mulan Niang: Daughter, why are you sighing?
Mulan: Mom, I have nothing. I just saw the military orders last night, and I couldn't help but feel flustered. The emperor is recruiting troops on a large scale, and his father's name is on the bulletin board in the village. Dad doesn't have an eldest son, only I have a daughter. Dad is in poor health. How can he be a soldier?
Mulan Niang: Yes!
Mulan: I think I am the only one who disguised as a man instead of my father. (excitedly) Well, that's settled. Tomorrow, I'm going to buy horses and ride necessities.

Horse dealer: Thirty taels of silver.
Mulan: It's a little too expensive. Can you make it cheaper?
Horse dealer: Twenty-five taels then.
Mulan: OK, I'll take this horse.
Backstage lines: I heard that Xi Shi's saddle pad is the best, so Mulan came to Xi Shi. The market is as lively as the East Market. Mulan came to the saddle pad stall.
Saddler: (loudly) What a good saddle pad! Cheap value, come and buy it!
Mulan: (selecting for a while) How much is this? I want to buy this.
Saddle vendor: Girl, I want to buy twelve taels of silver for this saddle pad. Seeing that you are a woman, it's only eight taels.
Mulan: OK, I'll take it.

Mulan: These two are perfect. I'll take it.
Backstage lines: I heard that whips in the north city are the most popular, so Mulan naturally came to the whip stall in the north city.
Whip dealer: (Far away) Oh! Here comes a beautiful girl who definitely wants to buy my whip!
Mulan: (Approaching the whip stall with joy) Your whip is really good. I'll take this one.
