The master of the house is absent, so Gu Jinli let Nanny Tao move in to watch over the house and oversee everything. Being a meticulous person, Nanny Tao prepared everything for welcoming Master Tongsheng according to custom bright and early.
As soon as Gu Jin'an got off the mule cart, he was adorned with red silk flowers and had a measure filled with rice thrust into his hands.
Gu Jin'an: "..."
Why is it happening again? He felt he was almost becoming like a monkey, dressed up this way every day for amusement.
"Good Brother An, this is a custom, it's auspicious, so just go along," Nanny Tao explained, and then started singing auspicious rhymes for academic achievement, singing a total of nine lines.
After she finished singing, Gu Jin'an walked from the gate to his family's courtyard, where he knelt at the incense table that had long been prepared, bowing in thanks to heaven and earth.
