Because they were celebrating the elder's birthday, they had specially invited a master carver to craft some new floral patterns on the handrail.
Gu Nuan saw that the handrails were all carved with lotus flowers.
It seemed that Grandma Xiao probably believed in Buddhism.
Xiao Yebai saw her thoughtful eyes and called her attention to the murals on the wall.
On the opposite wall to the banisters, there hung a series of oil paintings. Each one was a masterpiece, likely the work of great artists.
Among them was one that clearly depicted Virgin Mary of Christianity.
"All of these were left by my mother's ancestors."
Gu Nuan again looked at his neck, actually, she had noticed earlier, that he wore a pendant around his neck.
