Chapter 13: A Garden of Good Value
"Mei Yuan? Hey, isn't that my dowry garden? Wei Qingqing didn't notice that something was wrong with Bai Qi, and only made a decisive decision, "Let's go in quickly, I must find him!" ”
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult," Bai Qi leaned on the car window and pouted at the courtyard not far away, "Look at who is standing at the gate of Meiyuan to welcome guests!" ”
Wei Qingqing stepped forward at this time, looked at Bai Qi's gaze, and unexpectedly found that the people standing in front of the vermilion lacquer gate to greet guests were actually Han Shuo and Ling Wanrou.
Wei Qingqing looked at Bai Qi with a puzzled expression, "Why is Han Shuo here?" Didn't Mei Yuan take care of it for me by the Wei family? ”
"Shameless!" Bai Qi glared at Han Shuo and the others viciously, and his gaze turned back to Wei Qingqing with a little speechlessness, "Madam, your Mei Yuan has already been carved up, okay!" ”
"Partition?" Wei Qingqing was very surprised, the letter that Lichen gave her did not introduce Mei Yuan in detail, but only mentioned it briefly, so she only knew that she had such a famous garden in the capital under her name, and it had always been taken care of by the Wei family.
Bai Qi patiently explained to her, "This plum garden is Madame's mother's property, and it was ...... at the beginning."
Bai Qi told Wei Qingqing that this plum garden was built by her father specifically for her mother, and it was a token of love given to her mother by her father.
At that time, her father chose for a long time before he chose this piece of land close to the riverbank, four or five acres large, and spent a lot of money to hire famous craftsmen to build a garden along the river.
After the completion of the plum garden, the pavilions and pavilions, the eaves and green tiles, three steps and one scene, five steps and one painting, among which the most prestigious is the ninety-nine eighty-one kinds of plum blossoms that are collected and planted in the plum garden.
As soon as the plum garden was completed, it was rated as "the first elegant garden in the capital" by the Beijing Yashi, everyone was proud of a visit to the plum garden, and even today were shocked, specially came, not only a trip, but also personally carried a plaque to the owner of the plum garden.
Mei is Wei Qingqing's mother-in-law, this Mei Yuan, when Mei was still alive, made a deed and classified it into Wei Qingqing's dowry.
It's just that later the Mei family and his wife both died in death, and Wei Qingqing became a child who had no father's love and no mother's love, and this Mei Yuan finally failed to marry her, and was occupied by the Wei family and the Han family, and lent it to the capital's magnates to hold banquets every once in a while, so as to climb power and wealth.
"Taken by both the Wei family and the Han family?" Wei Qingqing is very vulgar, there is no Grace Garden in her eyes at all, she directly converted the Grace Garden in front of her into a pile of silver, and after getting the approximate number, she suddenly felt pain - the people who robbed her of the silver were all enemies who did not share the sky!
"The Wei family refused to give you Mei Yuan to marry, and the Han family knew that Mrs. Mei had already made it clear that Mei Yuan was your dowry, and the two families were greedy, and after discussing and bargaining, they agreed to get half of each, which is really shameless!" Bai Qi indignantly explained the cause and effect.
Only then did Wei Qingqing know her life experience, and learned that her parents had no children under their knees, and she had only one daughter. When she was six years old, her parents succeeded a nephew from the clan to inherit the family business.
They originally thought that they would have a step-son, and their daughter's family would have something to rely on after she got married in the future, but who would have thought that within a few years of their step-step, they both left because of an accident.
Later, Wei Qingqing's heir brother inherited the family business, inherited the title, and became the new Jianningbo.
After the heir brother took charge of the house, he quickly took his biological parents and siblings to live with him. On the contrary, Wei Qingqing, the official owner of Jianning Bo Mansion, was driven to the countryside on the grounds of "having an infectious disease", and was not able to return home until before he got married......
The reason why she was able to get back the "identity of the eldest lady of Jianning Bofu" and go home to marry was just to marry Wei Lanlan to the Han family as a widow.
After Wei Qingqing learned about these old pasts, she pointed to herself in disbelief, "What about me?" Without any action, just like a dough, let them knead and flatten and take my things? ”
"You used to be young, your temperament was not as tough as you are now, and your head was not as smart as it is now," Bai Qi was stunned, as if he had never thought about it, and pondered for a moment before giving what he thought was a reasonable answer, "Later, you grew up, your head was full, and you became smarter, but when you were seriously injured in this matter, you didn't have the strength to fight with them at all." ”
Bai Qi told Wei Qingqing that three years ago, Wei Qingqing fell off a cliff and was seriously injured, and he was bedridden for a long time before he was forced to replace Wei Lanlan and marry into the Han family.
Wei Qingqing didn't give up, "What about later?" After I recovered from my injury, I didn't look for them to go back to Meiyuan? I can't be so cowardly! ”
Wei Qingqing didn't mention it, but when he mentioned Bai Qi, he became angry, and immediately glared at him with hatred, "After you woke up, the whole person was focused on finding someone, and the rest of the things were ignored!" ”
"Looking for someone?" Wei Qingqing's heart jumped, and for no reason she thought of the man in black in her dream, and couldn't help but ask Bai Qi again, "Don't you really know who the person I've been looking for is?" ”
Bai Qi replied angrily, "Hmph! You've been mysteriously refusing to reveal it, and the devil knows who you're looking for! ”
Wei Qingqing was suddenly full of disappointment, she thought that she could get some useful clues from Bai Qi's mouth, who would have thought that Bai Qi knew less than her, an amnesiac person-she still knew that what she was looking for was a man!
Bai Qi remembered that Wei Qingqing was the most reluctant to mention these sad things when she was a child, so in order not to make her sad, she quickly diverted the topic, and pointed at Han Shuo and the others angrily and scolded: "Ling Wanrou is just an outer room, not even a serious concubine's room, how can she go out to welcome guests like a hostess?!" ”
"Bai Qi, if I say that I just went in to find someone, will the two who greet me at the door let me in?" Wei Qingqing didn't care about Han Shuo and the others, she just wanted to hurry up and go into Meiyuan to find the man in Xuanyi who was galloping on the street just now.
Bai Qi threw Wei Qingqing a look of "Are you stupid", "The prince specially asked Ling Wanrou to accompany him to greet guests at the gate, obviously to correct her name, so that the guests thought that Ling Wanrou was his wife." Since you are a wife, there is naturally only one, and you, a genuine goods, stand in front of them, won't the prince slap himself in the face? ”
"The maid can be sure that in order to successfully correct Ling Wanrou's name, the prince will definitely not let you appear in front of the guests, let alone let you enter the Plum Garden." She said and gave Wei Qingqing another idea, "Unless you bypass them and sneak in." ”
"Why should I bypass them?" Wei Qingqing glanced at Bai Qi, "Have you ever heard of someone who has to sneak into their own homeland?" If I want to enter, I will enter openly! ”
Bai Qi was overjoyed, looking at Wei Qingqing with an expectant face and sparkling eyes, "This plum garden is famous all over the world, and the maid has long wanted to go in and shop, and today is just the light of Madame!" Madam, tell me how we can enter the Plum Garden openly? ”
