After dinner, Bai Yiran clamored to take a bath.
This place was very remote, without running water, and the water used was all from the well. Moreover, there was no such thing as a water heater, so every time Bai Yiran wanted to take a bath, they had to boil water first.
This was a large courtyard, with three houses inside, two large ones and one small one.
The small house was set aside by Yao Zhiqing for bathing. The men serving under her were all rough and unrefined, bathing once a week was considered diligent for them, especially in a place without water heaters, they were even lazier when it came to bathing.
But Yao Zhiqing and Bai Yiran were different, they had to bathe every day, or they'd feel uncomfortable all over.
So, every evening, there was someone dedicated to boiling water for these two women so they could bathe.
