Old Madam Liu naturally prepared for the occasion; she never let her two children who were on official paths worry about such matters in the family.
When she heard Manbao ask, she gestured to Nanny Liu.
Nanny Liu brought a plate of gold and silver ingots for them to see, printed with auspicious words like "Fortune" and "Longevity." Old Madam Liu treated them as if they were still young and directly grabbed a handful for Manbao, laughing, "Take them to play."
Manbao held a handful of gold and silver ingots, overjoyed.
Old Madam Liu spoke to Nanny Liu, "Fill all the pouches from the sewing room with gold and silver ingots; pouches with yellow borders contain gold ingots, those with silver borders contain silver ingots."
