Lotus Garden.

The lotus garden was the private yard of a wealthy businessman. I heard that the wealthy businessman’s wife liked lotus flowers. The wealthy businessman was a poor boy when he was young. Knowing that his wife liked lotus flowers, he told his wife that when he had money in the future, he would build a lotus garden for his wife.

However, by the time the wealthy businessman's career improved, his wife had become terminally ill due to overwork.

In the end, before there was enough money to build a lotus garden, the wealthy businessman's wife passed away. After his wife's death, the wealthy businessman did not marry and had no concubines around him. He devoted himself to cultivating the only son he had with his wife.

The Lotus Garden was built in the eighth year after the death of the wealthy businessman's wife.

After the lotus garden was built, the beauty was long gone, so it was opened to the public. You only need to pay the admission fee to enjoy the lotus.

Many people lamented such a beautiful but unsettling love story, and some literati who came to the garden to admire the lotuses expressed their regrets in inscriptions.

Entering the lotus garden, the summer wind blows in your face, and a fresh and elegant lotus fragrance hits your nostrils. Looking around, the pale pink lotus flowers are in full bloom, and they are nestled tightly against the green lotus leaves, bathing in the sunshine. Elegant and beautiful.

Meng Jinyao was admiring the lotus in one of the viewing pavilions, looking at the clear pond with green leaves and pink flowers all around. She felt that the summer heat was suppressed by the surrounding green leaves and pink flowers, and she felt extremely comfortable.

She leaned on the railing, facing the summer wind and looking far into the distance, and said to the man next to her: "The lotus flowers are still beautiful in large tracts. We only put two lotus flowers grown in large water tanks in Wei Ruixuan, and they are still not satisfactory." , Even the lotus pond at home is not as good as the lotus flowers in this lotus garden."

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi asked, "If Madam likes it, can we also build a lotus garden?"

Meng Jinyao was startled at first, then shook his head with a smile: "That's not necessary. It's a waste of money. Isn't there a lotus garden here? If you want to enjoy lotus next time, just come here."

"Gu Yaoling!"

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from not far away. The voice was very unfamiliar. Meng Jinyao did not recognize it, so she turned to Gu Jingxi and said, "Husband, someone is calling you."

Gu Jingxi said "hmm", looked around and saw several friends walking towards them, including Qi Yunwen.

Qi Yunwen saw the little girl beside him and smiled meaningfully at him.

Gu Jingxi frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant and still smiling so weirdly.

Several people arrived at the pavilion and greeted Gu Jingxi. When they looked at Meng Jinyao, they smiled and called softly: "Brother and sister."

Meng Jinyao didn't know them, she only knew Qi Yunwen. After listening to Gu Jingxi's introduction to her, she also greeted them gracefully.

Several people saw her gentle smile, dignified and decent, and nodded secretly. They felt that Yao Ling was a good wife, but Gu Xiuming had no vision. He gave up a good girl for an orphan and ruined his own reputation. Which girl from a good family dares to marry him?

A few people just came to say hello, not intending to disturb the couple's get-together, and left after saying a few words.

Before leaving, Qi Yunwen leaned into Gu Jingxi's ear and whispered: "Gu Yaoling, you can do it. You also know how to take the little girl out to relax. She should be in a good mood. Keep up the good work and coax her back." After saying that, he patted Gu Jingxi's shoulder encouragingly, winked at him, and then followed the pace of his other friends.

Gu Jingxi frowned imperceptibly, and cursed in his heart: What he said means that he is not as stupid as he thought, right?

Meng Jinyao didn't hear what he said and asked curiously: "Husband, what did he tell you?"

Gu Jingxi said calmly: "He said I was stupid."

"what?"

Meng Jinyao was stunned and wondered in her heart: "My husband is not stupid."

Gu Jingxi smiled: "So, he is talking nonsense, we don't care about him, we will go shopping elsewhere and leave when it is almost noon."

Meng Jinyao responded and walked around in the lotus garden with great interest.

In that room, after Qi Yunwen and others left, several people started talking about Gu Jingxi and his wife.

One of them said: "Mo Bai, you and Yao Ling are the best friends. You should know what's going on with their couple now, right?"

Qi Yunwen glanced at him and saw the gossip on his face, nodded and said: "You know something, what's the matter?"

The man laughed twice and said, "It's nothing. I think Yao Ling has a pretty good relationship with his little wife, and he even brought his little wife out to enjoy the lotus."

"More than just a good relationship?"

Qi Yunwen raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully. He glanced at several friends and saw that they were staring at him curiously, waiting for his next words. After gaining enough curiosity, he said: "You all have wives. You should know something about Jinyu Pavilion. Yao Ling bought twelve hairpins for his little wife in Jinyu Pavilion a few days ago, spending more than a thousand taels of silver."

Several people were stunned after hearing this. You must know that they have never spent so much money at one time to buy hairpins for their wives. They buy them one by one, and each hairpin costs dozens of taels of silver. If it is of excellent quality, A good jade hairpin or a hairpin made of other rare materials only costs more than a hundred taels of silver.

One thousand taels of silver, ordinary people would never be able to earn that much money in their lifetime.

Yao Ling bought a hairpin for his little wife for more than a thousand taels, so it was more than just a good relationship? That's how you treat your little ancestor.

The man sighed: "I thought his little daughter-in-law was his son's ex-fiancée, and I had no choice but to marry her. I felt bad about it. I just married her back and put it on a vase. I didn't expect to love her so much."

Qi Yunwen said disapprovingly: "His son made a mistake, and it was not the little girl who made the mistake. Yao Ling is a sensible person, how could he anger the little girl?"

Another person said: "That's true. Yao Ling's little daughter-in-law looks very nice. My eldest daughter is the same age as her. She is also a newlywed daughter-in-law who got married this year. If there is something to talk about, maybe we can still talk to her. She plays together, but the difference is in seniority."

Qi Yunwen smiled and said: "It's just seniority. If you are of similar age and have similar interests, you can have fun. My niece and his little daughter-in-law are close friends and they are both the same age."

"My daughter is fifteen years old and not married yet, but she is about the same age and we might be able to play together."

"I also have a daughter, but she's only six years old."

Listening to their exchanges, the man who had remained silent said in a sour tone: "Each of you has a daughter. My family is all brats. It makes me upset just to look at them."

"Hahaha, then you and your siblings will work harder and have a daughter."

"No, I already have four sons, which proves that I don't have a daughter in my life. I give up."

While laughing and talking, several people saw Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao again. The couple was walking on another road. From a distance, they were walking side by side, talking and laughing. The scene looked plain and beautiful.
