Nan Feng thought to herself that if Feng Gu did not come that night, she would definitely come the very next morning. So, on the day the market reopened, Nan Feng made her way to her store early.
The ancient streets were not like the modern ones engulfed in dust. Even after several days, there was hardly any dust in Spikenard Square. Nonetheless, Nan Feng cleaned her shop inside and out, preparing a clean and fresh setting to herald in the New Year.
Most of the merchants on the street chose to reopen their stores on the sixth or eighth day of the year. The sixth day symbolized smooth success, while the eighth day symbolized prosperity. Therefore, the street gradually brimmed with life. By noon, it was bustling, with many young ladies who had received New Year money out shopping for clothes, jewelry, and rouge.
Nan Feng also started bustling about. Sometimes, the number of customers was so overwhelming that she could barely cope. She kept thinking, why hasn't Feng Gu come yet?
