Zuihua House.
At the end of Qingshi Lane, a pavilion with dark tile eaves is half-hidden among the shadows of bamboo, with a plaque that bears the words "Jiyue" hanging above the vermilion lacquered door.
This is a private garden, with a serene and elegant environment, and extremely high privacy. The aristocratic ladies of the capital often come here for tea gatherings.
The courtyard is filled with pavilions scattered around, with a stream winding through rocks, shimmering like a meandering jade belt.
From the waterside pavilion in the middle of the lake comes the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, as a group of women gather to sip tea and chat leisurely.
Each of them is draped in silk and satin, adorned with dazzling jewelry, clearly from prestigious families.
At the head, two graceful women sit side by side.
