By noon, the sun was blazing, and even on this island, which was a temperature or two degrees lower than the city, it was just as hot as it was frightening.

"Where are we going at noon?"

"Of course it's to go to Meimei's manor!"

Ma Yunmei's father bought a manor house on the island a year ago, just a kilometer north of Yingzhou Bay on the east coast, which is said to have been a palace of the Qianlong Emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, and the exquisite and unique "Yunmei Garden" condenses almost all the advantages of the Jiangnan garden.

The manor's previous name was "Willow Garden". Compared to other gardens on the island, the Willow Garden is small but famous. In the past, the main plant on Yangming Island was not reeds, but weeping willows with "jasper made into a tree high, and ten thousand green silk silk hanging down". Qianlong toured the south of the Yangtze River, landed on the island to admire the willows, and wrote the good sentence of "the weeping willows are hidden in the villages, and the new seedlings are dense in the desert paddy fields", and the governor of Jiangnan also built this unique "willow garden" for the Qianlong Emperor on the island.

At some point, the willows on the island were almost cut down. Now the few remaining willow trees on the island are all in this cloud plum garden. Because it was a newly bought garden, Ma Ziang hadn't had time to take care of it. According to Yunmei, her father did not buy the manor to live, but to protect and study the ancient buildings in Jiangnan.

Mr. Chen Congzhou, a famous landscape and ancient architect, once said, "In the study of gardening, those who are in charge must come up with their own opinions, with firm intentions, and come up with ideas." The garden of selflessness is the garden of lifelessness. ”

Perhaps this garden was not created by the emperor, but may have been inspired by a Jiangnan woman. The life of Liuyuan does not lie in the "willow", but in the rockery. In the garden, which covers an area of less than one acre, there are ten rockeries and ponds, each of which is a different form of animal or human image. Although the pond is almost dry, the bare mud is overgrown with some unnamed, equally beautiful flowers and plants.

Like countless Jiangnan gardens, the willow garden has both the delicate air of a small jasper and the atmosphere of peerless elegance. Most of the houses are boat-shaped buildings with blue tiles and white walls, and the occasional pavilion also adds a lot of vitality to this quiet campus...... All in all, the owner's care can be seen in every part of the manor, and even the pebbled patterns on the ground are exquisite!

"Miss Ma, the slave maid has asked you to say goodbye!" A girl named Weiwei suddenly came out with such a sentence, followed by a "please be safe" action.

"Ma Daha is almost the same, what a young lady! When you look at the garden, what has become of it? It's a shame that my dad still treats it as a treasure, and he doesn't take the time to take care of it......" Yunmei complained as she found a broom and began to clean up the hall.

The students of the music department didn't seem to think that there was anything unusual about this gloomy tiled house, not to mention the air conditioning in the stuffy room, and they couldn't even find an electric fan!

Fushun was deeply attracted by this beautiful ancient building. This was the first time he had such a close encounter with the garden, and in his opinion, the beauty of the willow garden lies not only in its carved beams and paintings, but also in its simplicity and scenery. He suddenly felt how humble those high-rise buildings should be in front of such a garden!

He suddenly thought of the new name of the estate. "Junyong, why do you say this garden is called 'Yunmei Garden'?"

"Didn't you ask knowingly? This is named after Mei Mei by Mr. Ma! Junyong followed the nerd, and he knew that Fu Shun had recently been reading a book called "The Collision of Ancient Architecture and Modern Architectural Beauty".

"I don't think so. In fact, the name 'Yunmei Manor' is much better than the name 'Willow Garden', the 'clouds' are those rockeries and ponds, and the rockeries are hovering everywhere, like clouds in the sky, and at the same time, these ponds and marshes are filled with clear water, and the clouds in the sky are reflected in them......"

"Where's May?"

"May? Your plum is 'plum'! I didn't expect Fushun to make this kind of joke, as if he had completely forgotten the embarrassment of being on the beach in the morning, "There is a clearing in the back, and there are a few ponds and marshes I think are a little redundant, if you fill in the soil and plant plum blossoms, it must be very beautiful!" ”

"Don't be sour! You two 'master builders', come and cut the cake! Not only did Vivi have a bright voice, but her ears were also good, and she could hear these two friends from the countryside discussing their expertise.

"It's coming!" Jun Yong responded, thinking about Fu Shun's words. His mind was imagining a picture: if his Meimei's wedding could be held in such a classical building, then he must wear a full dress, and his wife would be dressed up as Gege......

Because all the furniture in the room was emptied, the nine men sat cross-legged on the floor. They brought a lot of refreshments from the city, and a round cake.

It's the first time I've seen such a new thing, Fushun. There are a few candles on the round cake, and the number "20" is written in the cream, which means that Yunmei will be twenty years old from today.

"Miss, please close your eyes and make a wish first!" A girl named Linlin blinked her eyes and looked at today's heroine.

Fu Shun watched as his big watery eyes closed, and then folded his hands. Beautiful girl, your wish must be beautiful and will be fulfilled. Fushun also closed his eyes. Yes, who knows that today is also the birthday of this "hillbilly"! Then, he also has the right to make a good wish!

"Okay, blow out the candles!"

Yunmei opened her eyes and gently blew into the candle. Fu Shun didn't understand why he was blowing out the candles, and when he saw that Yunmei didn't blow them all out at once, he helped to blow out the remaining two candles with a "poof".

Linlin next to her glanced at Fu Shun contemptuously.

"Divide the cake!" Vivi continued to preside over the work.

Fushun got the biggest piece, but he was reluctant to eat it. He watched another "little birthday star" eat cake, and for some reason, he shed tears. He hurriedly wiped it dry with his cuffs, for fear that others would see it, and then devoured his own piece - this is the sweetest and most fragrant taste in Fushun's nineteen years of life!

"Meimei, what did you just wish?" After eating the cake, Weiwei took out a can of beer from her boyfriend's backpack and handed it to Yunmei.

"Thank you, I don't drink ......" Yunmei shook her head, she really didn't like the taste of alcohol.

"It's your birthday, drink a little, it's okay......"

"I'll help Meimei drink ......" Junyong saw that his girlfriend was embarrassed, and of course he had to stand up for her.

"You are not allowed to drink either!" Yunmei also doesn't like to see Junyong drinking.

"I'll drink!" Fu Shun snatched the jar of wine and poured it into his stomach.

"Big brother, that's Meimei's fruit beer! You're really ......" Lin Lin herself looked down on this coolie a little, and the contempt just now turned into anger now.

Linlin...... Take out all the wine! I drink soda ...... "Meimei hurried to relieve the siege." Junyong got the instruction, quickly took out a bottle of soda from his bag and handed it to Yunmei, he took a can of beer from Weiwei's hand, and everyone toasted to the lovely Miss Meimei!

"Meimei, your father is really amazing, buy you such a big garden......" Linlin's words carried a sour taste.

"No, I didn't say it all just now, this is the ...... my dad bought to do research."

"You don't lie! I just saw that the plaque on the gate reads 'Yunmei Garden'! Vivi pouted and looked at her boyfriend.

"Buy! I'll buy you a 'Vivi Manor' tomorrow! The boyfriend immediately made a statement.

"You think anyone can buy the garden on this island, but you can't buy it without that identity!" Vivi slammed her fist into her boyfriend's shoulder.

"When your sister comes back, your father will have to buy a 'Xiangyu Garden', right?" Linlin deliberately opened a new topic, and her boyfriend on the side pulled her, shaking his head slightly and signaling her not to say any more.

Yunmei smiled awkwardly. She knew that Linlin had always been jealous of her, including her family, her singing voice, and her beauty...... But Linlin also has her own sense of superiority, that is, her boyfriend is the son of a big leader in Haixi...... Therefore, Junyong is often teased by Linlin.

"Okay, Meimei's birthday today, let's not mention those unhappy things, okay? Here, cheers! Weiwei lifted the beer and patted Yunmei's head again.

"Cheers ......"

"Xiangyu Garden"? Why Xiangyu? Ma Xiangyu? Didn't you hear that Yunmei also has a sister? A series of questions swirled in Fu Shun's mind, as if the can of fruit beer just now made him a little drunk.

These two too familiar Chinese characters played the heartstrings in Fushun's heart. In the psychedelic eyes, the girl opposite seemed to be his beloved Xiang Yu, he really wanted to stand up, stretch out his right hand like a gentleman in the movie, and invite his beloved girl to dance...... But he can't dance, he's just a plasterer with a gray knife and a mortar to lay bricks!

"Junyong, Yunmei also has a sister?" As he left the manor, Fu Soon pulled Jun Yong aside and asked quietly. Yunmei and Weiwei held hands, leading the way at the front, and the sunset behind them reflected the two most beautiful backs.

"No, Mr. Ma is just her daughter!" Junyong also wondered, judging from the atmosphere just now, Yunmei must have some secret to hide from herself.

"Then what did they say about 'Xiangyu Garden' just now? I thought she had a sister named Ma Xiangyu! ”

"No, the name Li Xiangyu is very special, 'fish-flavored shredded pork', hehe, it's hard to find the same name!"

"Do you know Li Xiangyu?" The footsteps in front of her stopped, and Linlin turned around and asked. Fu Shun and Jun Yong stared widely, and then nodded at the same time—they didn't expect this Haixi man to understand their dialect and speak so quietly.

"Oh, yes, that international student is also from Jiang Yun......"

"Wait, the Xiangyu you just talked about is Li Xiangyu?" Fu Shun pulled Linlin and asked.

"yes, Junyong, you don't know yet? Mei Mei's father and her own mother divorced because of Li Xiangyu's mother, and Mei Mei and Li Xiangyu's mother and son were at odds, so your Ma Zong had to send his stepdaughter abroad. I heard that I'll be back in a few days......"
