After doing all this, the head nanny picked up an egg and rolled it on the two children's faces. She said something like, "Eggs rolling on their faces, their faces are like eggshells, their skin is as red as willow leaves, truly their beloved children."
After finishing, wrap the child in a soft blanket, and gently tap the child three times with a large scallion, saying, "First tap for intelligence (the word 'smart' is a homophone for 'scallion'), second tap for cleverness." Then, have someone throw the scallion on the roof (meaning to wish the child to be exceptionally intelligent in the future).
The baby's third-day celebration was basically over. Lanqin noticed that there were still many untouched things on the table, so she asked curiously, "Granny, what are these for?"
The head maid laughed and said, "Princess, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished yet."
She then picked up the weight and gestured a few times, saying, "Though the weight is small, it can weigh a thousand pounds." (Wishing the child a significant role in the family and society when they grow up).
Then, he picked up the padlock and gestured three times, saying, "You've grown up, head tight, feet tight, hands tight." (Wishing the child to be steady and cautious as they grow up).
Finally, place the baby on a tea tray, tuck the prepared gold and silver ingots or jewelry around the baby, and say, "Gold on the left, silver on the right, more than enough to reward the servants," (wishing the child great fortune, wealth, and longevity when he grows up).
Finally, he shone a small mirror on the baby's bottom and said, "Use the magic mirror to look at your bottom; it's clean when you poop during the day."
The most interesting thing is that a few paper pomegranate flowers are sifted into the drying basket and said, "Gardenia, jasmine, peach, apricot, rose, tuberose, and sparse smallpox flowers..." (wishing the child to be free from or have few smallpox cases and grow up healthy without any disasters or illnesses).
