Wenyuan Bookstore opened its doors, and the whole family went into the city.
As the auspicious time arrived, Ruo Hai and his brothers set up a long table outside the bookstore and arranged offerings on it. After bowing and expressing wishes for booming business, smooth sailing, a customer presence like rolling clouds, and abundant wealth, they set off firecrackers and even invited dragon and lion dance troupes to perform.
For a while, passersby paused to watch.
Ruo Xuan had never seen dragon and lion dances before and watched with great enthusiasm, her eyes shining brightly.
Xuanyuan Que watched her engrossed in the performance, standing behind her to protect her.
It was common for shops in Xuanyuan Country to celebrate their opening by organizing dragon and lion dances that could last half the day, primarily to attract customers.
