Wu Fang's private courtyard is located south of the imperial capital, not far from the courtyard where Du Jiang took in the child.
The courtyard is square, with two large doors in the front and back and two small doors on the left and right. There are several guest rooms in the east, south, west and north. Entering from the main gate, the small courtyard in the center of the courtyard right in front is the master bedroom.
It is somewhat similar to a siheyuan, but not exactly the same.
The courtyard is filled with lush trees. The stone tables and benches beneath the trees, combined with the lush greenery, create a truly picturesque scene. It's a wonderful place to enjoy the coolness beneath them, sipping tea and snacking on pastries, playing chess with friends, and chatting—all while enjoying the shade and escaping the summer heat.
Wu Fang would stay in this yard for a few days every once in a while. In order to keep the yard clean and tidy, Wu Fang specially hired a girl to clean it every two days, a bit like an hourly worker.
Ji Xingzhi stood in the master bedroom, nodding frequently as he looked at the furnishings in the bedroom. The room was indeed very clean, and the furnishings were not out of the ordinary. The bed was the kind without a frame, without the troublesome bed curtains, and without the screens that were common in this era placed in front of the bed. There was only a bedside table, a wardrobe, a set of tables and chairs, and a set of tea sets. The whole room looked simple and clear.
There is also a bouquet of flowers in the vase on the table. This bouquet has many flower buds. The clean water in the vase is enough to keep the flower buds alive and bloom beautiful flowers at the end of their life.
After taking a look at the furnishings in the room, Ji Xingzhi opened the package in her hand, and a gorgeous yet elegant lavender long dress came into view. The intricate patterns looked mysterious and beautiful. To be honest, Ji Xingzhi was very satisfied with the dress and had to praise it: Wu Fang has a good eye.
Although it looked good, it took Ji Xingzhi a lot of effort to put it on. There were three types of belts: a waist belt, a waist rope, and a waist cord. There were four pieces of clothing, and she had to put them on one by one. Fortunately, the clothes were not thick, otherwise she would have died of exhaustion or heat.
Untying her hair tie, letting her long hair down and wearing embroidered shoes with clouds, flowers and birds, Ji Xingzhi slowly opened the door and asked with a bit of embarrassment, "Wu Fang, do you know how to tie your hair up?"
Wu Fang was slightly stunned: "Yes."
So, Wu Fang walked into the room and asked Ji Xingzhi to sit on the chair. His fingers flexibly shuttled through Ji Xingzhi's hair. After a while, he combed her hair into a bun. Like a magic trick, he took out several jade hairpins and inserted them into Ji Xingzhi's bun. He also put a gauze hat on Ji Xingzhi to cover her face.
"Have you ever combed someone's hair before?" Ji Xingzhi asked doubtfully.
She must have combed her hair for someone else before, otherwise her technique wouldn't be so skillful and wouldn't hurt her scalp at all.
Wu Fang's voice was a little low: "Yes. A long time ago, my younger sister's hair was combed by my subordinates. After so many years, the technique has become rusty."
Ji Xingzhi knew from Wu Fang's tone that when he was combing his hair just now, Wu Fang must have thought of his sister. Wu Fang was the only one left in the Wu family, so his sister must be dead.
Ji Xingzhi stood up and turned to face Wu Fang. She tilted her head slightly, her face full of seriousness. "When I grow up, I will definitely help you get revenge."
The foolish and incompetent ruler of Shuizhou State deserves to be killed by everyone.
Wu Fang's body stiffened suddenly when he heard this. Over the years, although he hated the Emperor of Shuizhou and wanted revenge, he had never been determined to seek revenge, simply because he was well aware of his own abilities.
To avenge the Wu family, one must overthrow the Shuizhou royal family, which is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
