- Mansion verse
- Building under Bond raises the household’s standing; wealth flourishes, the family is harmonious and all undertakings prosper. Money comes from outside within a hundred days, and brothers spread a noble reputation. Marriage brings gains and distinguished children; chests overflow with jade, silk, gold and silver. Releasing water and opening doors are favorable, bringing men and women honor, long life, health and peace.
