The compound was encircled by white walls and gently caressed by green willows. Hanging on the tall gate was a black rosewood plaque engraved with the words "Cui Mansion," their golden characters gleaming in the sunlight. Those words, with their dragon-and-snake-like strokes, were profound yet restrained, devoid of any hint of sharpness.
