After the hour of Chen, the Zhang Mansion suddenly became busy.
Lady Zhang stood at the Zhang family's gate greeting guests, barely getting a chance to return inside to rest; Chen Ji and Zhang Xia helped receive New Year gifts and prepare return gifts, so busy their feet scarcely touched the ground.
Officials from the Six Ministries, the Ministry of Communication, the Six Departments, the Five Cities Military Department, the Master's Mansion, the Hanlin Academy—every government office in the Imperial Capital one could think of sent people over.
Even the Monk Record Office and the Taoist Record Bureau were no exception.
Only around Noon did the guests slowly thin out.
