    It was the height of summer, the sun still hanging low on the horizon, so hot that even the slightest movement would leave one drenched in sweat. The Hua family mansion, occupying half of Hualin Lane, was as quiet as ever. Maids and servants moved about silently, their skirts swaying gently. The servants bustled about, but even in their haste, they dared only walk quickly, never daring to run. The Hua family was a centuries-old, distinguished family, known for its strict rules and demanding high standards from its servants. However, because of their reputation for integrity, countless people still hoped to be recruited by the Hua family each year. Compared to those wealthy and powerful families rife with scandals, the Hua family's strict rules were nothing to worry about. Moreover, the Hua family's servants had the opportunity to learn to read and write, though unfortunately, the Hua family rarely bought servants. The sun rose higher, the cicadas' chirping intensified, adding to the oppressive heat. In a courtyard to the south, Hua Zhi, the eldest daughter of the Hua family, grew tired from reading. She put down her book, gently rubbed her eyes, and turned to the maid who was fanning her. "It's not so hot sitting still, you should rest." The maid smiled, "I'm not tired." The maid who was doing needlework nearby quickly washed her hands, brought over a glass of chilled mung bean soup, and watched her mistress drink it slowly before turning to massage her cervical spine. The curtain rustled softly, and a maid in a peach-red dress lifted it. Another maid in a bright green dress brought in water, and the two of them worked together to wash Hua Zhi's hands, then took out bottles and jars to moisturize her mistress's hands. Her ten fingers were slender and rounded, with almost no knuckles, and her skin was fair and radiant. Just looking at these hands, one could tell that she was a pampered young lady from a wealthy family, raised without ever lifting a finger. Hua Zhi's lips curled slightly upwards as she asked in the quiet, "So? Have any of you four taken a liking to anyone?" The four women remained silent, each absorbed in their own tasks. "Ying Chun, you go first." The massage paused, then resumed with moderate pressure. "This servant will listen to Miss. Whoever you say I should marry, I will marry." This answer was entirely expected by Hua Zhi. "What about Bao Xia?" The maidservant massaging her with her fingers glanced up, then lowered her head and continued her work. "This servant said I won't marry anyone; I'll serve you for life."
