- Mansion verse
- Building under Wall increases wealth; silk and silkworms flourish and blessings abound. Servants arrive and the household grows; opening a door or releasing water brings forth talented people. Burial attracts wealth and advancement in official rank, while all household affairs are joyful. Marriage is favorable and brings distinguished children who gain an early reputation and advance the ancestral legacy.
