Every year, many people would come to the Tao family to pay New Year's greetings. Some of them were relatives of the Tao family, while others were business partners of the Tao family.
On the second day of the new year, Meng Xiao arrived at the Tao family's manor early in the morning with a gift. She did not press the doorbell because the Tao family was still sleeping at this time. She could not disturb others from their rest.
At eight o'clock, the servants of the Tao family came to open the door on time. There were already a lot of people gathered at the door. They all came with gifts. In order to maintain the silence in the park, everyone did not speak and lined up, waiting to see Old Master Tao.
Although Old Master Tao no longer cared about the Tao family's business, his influence was still there; so most people would still visit Old Master Tao first.
