In accordance with tradition, on the night before the wedding, two children had to be found to press down the bridal bed, symbolizing the early arrival of a precious child.
However, the children in the village who were of age were all too dirty. Nowadays, the conditions in the households had changed, and the children were naturally cleaner. They never lacked clothing, changing every three days, something that those who wouldn't change their clothes even once throughout the winter could not compare to.
Thus, Mrs. He was afraid the children pressing the bed would dirty the new bedding, and she could only instruct her staff to bathe the children and change their clothes before sending them to press the bed.
Being able to receive a new piece of clothing for free naturally made the children's families happy.
At this time, after clarifying the situation, Mrs. He explained, "This silver was in your child's pocket when he came last night."
