Dressed as the real daughter of the wealthy control group

Orchid Garden is the largest courtyard in Xie's house. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It not only has rockeries and lakes, but also has nine-curved verandahs and numerous buildings.

Xie Shu lives in Lanyuan, and she is the only one living here.

At the entrance of Lanyuan, the Xie family guard team guarded the entrance.

Ming Ge and others followed Xie Jinghuan into the garden, and saw before them numerous mountains, rockeries, green trees, flowing lakes, carved beams and painted buildings everywhere on the verandahs, all the floor lamps in the Orchid Garden were lit up, and each floor lamp had a lucky bag hung on it.

A girl went to open a lucky bag and found that there was a tael of silver in it, and she happily received it.

Ming Ge took a quick look and saw that there were countless floor lamps hidden among the green trees and rockery. Xie's treasure hunting party this time was a waste of money.

"One tael of silver is better than nothing. Do you want a lucky bag?"

"I don't want it. I didn't bring a purse with me when I went out. There's no place to put these scraps of money."

"One tael of broken silver is also silver. There are so many broken pieces of silver here, and if you break it down casually, there will be a hundred and eighty taels."

"Mrs. Gu, you are too short-sighted. If you go to break down these scraps of silver, others will look for antiques and calligraphy. Even if you break up a whole yard of scraps of silver, they won't be able to find an antique, calligraphy and painting."

"Oh, Gu Xi is like this, who made her family poor, and her father is only a ninth-grade official..." The girls laughed softly, and Qiu Yuxiu retracted her extended hand silently.

In fact, she felt that one tael of silver was a lot. With her speed, she could open hundreds of taels of silver today, and she could look for antiques, calligraphy and paintings while opening the lucky bags.

Speaking of which, it is still too poor.

Qiu Yuxiu and the Gu family girl's hearts were hurt at the same time.

Seeing this, Ming Ge turned his eyes slightly, went to the corridor and pulled a lucky bag under the palace lantern, opened it, and said in surprise with red lips: "Ah, it turned out to be a bright pearl, the Xie family is so generous. Xiuxiu, this lucky bag is for You."

Ming Ge gave Qiu Yuxiu the lucky bag and the pearl, and winked at her.

Qiu Yuxiu immediately became excited. She took the lucky bag and the pearl and looked at it. She was a little dumbfounded. What, the pearl is so big. Ming Ge clearly took it out of the money bag.

she……

Qiu Yuxiu's heart felt warm and she was almost moved to tears.

The other girls were shocked and gathered around. Seeing the pearl in Qiu Yuxiu's hand, which was the size of a dragon's eye and exuded a warm luster, they all became jealous. Now no one could say that the person who opened the lucky bag was petty.

The girls went to open the lucky bags one after another, but what they found were either scraps of silver or copper plates, and not a single valuable lucky bag.

Qiu Yuxiu took Ming Ge happily into the garden, opening the lucky bag along the way.

Madam Gu, who had been ridiculed and ostracized, twisted her handkerchief, bit her lip and followed her. She could clearly see that the pearl was stuffed in by Yue Mingge herself. Madam Yue was not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. She was better than the girls in Quancheng. They are ten thousand times stronger.

She suddenly envied Qiu Yuxiu.

Ming Ge and Qiu Yuxiu walked a short distance and entered the garden from the verandah. On the other side of the rockery, they met the children of the aristocratic family who had entered the garden earlier than them.

These gentlemen from aristocratic families are the most important figures in their families, so naturally they will not pay attention to those little lucky bags. Moreover, they are too embarrassed to search around because of their reputation. Instead, they gather together to talk about romance, recite poems and paintings, and then inquire around. Xie Shu’s preferences and residence.

"I heard that Orchid Garden is the residence of Xie's daughter. She is the only one who lives in this entire garden. Sure enough, only such a beautiful garden can nurture a beauty like Xie Shu."

"Have you seen the heavy building behind the lake? The Xie family girl's boudoir is there, but there should be maids and guards in front of the boudoir. It would be bad if she bumped into the girl."

"Why don't I go and take a look? Maybe all the treasures hidden this time are in the small heavy building?"

Several gentlemen from aristocratic families walked together to the small building behind the rockery lake with smiles on their faces.

Qiu Yuxiu hid behind the tree and snorted: "They are all here for Xie Shu's beauty."

Ming Ge pulled out a scroll of calligraphy and painting from the tree hole, opened the silk bag, and said lazily: "It's normal, let alone they like beauties. Every time I see Fengmianzhou, I have to take a few more glances. Who doesn’t like to be pretty?”

Qiu Yuxiu was stunned when she saw her open the ribbon and take out a roll of ancient paintings bound in green sandalwood, and said in surprise: "Ming Ge, where did you find it?"

Ming Ge pointed at the hole in the tree that she had opened with her eyes: "Here."

Qiu Yuxiu saw that the dead leaves and vines outside the tree hole were being pulled away by her, and she was so impressed that she was worthy of Yue Mingge. How could she find this?

"What painting is it?" Qiu Yuxiu came over excitedly, and then took a breath of cold air, "This is the original work "Dwelling in the Small Mountain at Night" by Zhang Chunshui from the previous dynasty. Ming Ge, this is the original work! This is the only one. "

Ming Ge rolled up the painting, stuffed it into a silk bag, and said with a smile: "I know, I don't like painting. I'll go back and give it to Feng Mianzhou in exchange for pearls."

Qiu Yuxiu started talking: "Brother Mianzhou loves paintings the most. He will probably go crazy when he sees this painting. He will probably give you many pearls. You will get rich Mingge! My eldest brother also likes paintings. What hangs in his room is a copy of "Dwelling in the Deep Mountain at Night"."

Ming Ge narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Qiu Mubai likes "Dwelling in the Deep Mountains at Night"?

This painting actually caught her fancy. It depicts the desolation of a person sleeping in the mountains at night. It has an oncoming sense of loneliness, which just caters to some people's mood.

Qiu Mubai should be an extremely conceited and arrogant person, so he has this kind of mentality of looking down on the world, feeling that all the people in the world are mediocre people, only he stands on the top of the mountains, and feels that he is too cold to be at a high place. .

Ming Ge lowered his eyes, carried the silk bag containing the paintings on his back, patted the bag, and said with a smile: "Let's go, keep looking, maybe you can find a lot of treasures."

"No, no, I have to look for it separately from you. I feel like all my good luck has been sucked away by you." Qiu Yuxiu wrinkled her nose. Damn it, she opened a hundred taels of lucky bags along the way, but Ming Ge Is it an authentic painting by Zhang Chunshui? Still her eldest brother's favorite.

"Then you walk along these floor lamps, don't run around, and call me loudly if you need anything." Ming Ge picked a hibiscus flower, tasted a petal, and smiled with his eyes bent, "You can call Xie Jinghuan, he will definitely not Something will happen to a noble lady like you.”

Qiu Yuxiu's pretty face turned red, and she pretended to hit her, then snorted and walked away alone.

"Remember, walk along the lamplight, otherwise I won't be able to find you."

"Know it."

Ming Ge saw her figure disappearing into the shadows of the trees, and the smile in his eyes disappeared. Listening to the breathing hidden behind the rockery, he tapped his toes and walked towards the rockery.

These people followed her and Qiu Yuxiu. Now that Qiu Yuxiu has left, there is no movement from these people. They must be coming for her. Also, Qiu Yuxiu is the county head of the Duke of Jin's mansion. Today Qiu Mu Bai is here, even if he lends the Xie family ten courages, he will not attack Qiu Yuxiu.

The Xie family is not as stupid as the Li family in Nanyang County.

She was the only one with an obscure background and unknown origins, and she had a grudge against the Xie family. Even if something happened to the Xie family, she would only be told after dinner that it was her own fault and she would not survive.

A sweet smile appeared on Ming Ge's lips, and she walked directly towards the rockery area. Ordinary people might not be able to tell, but she knew from the first moment she entered the Orchid Garden that the entire Orchid Garden was a large array. The rockery and lake area is the core of the formation, which is both dangerous and hidden.

Since I have come, I naturally want to experience the wind and waves of Central Continent.

On the small pavilion in the center of the lake, Feng Mianzhou lowered his eyes and drank his third cup of tea. His eyes fell on the garden across the lake, and his mind wandered too much.

"Junior brother, junior brother." Qiu Mubai called twice. Seeing him come back to his senses, he smiled thoughtfully, "Are you worried about Lady Yue? Yuxiu is with her, and the Xie family dare not Make things difficult for her.”

Feng Mianzhou came back to his senses and smiled: "I was just thinking, on such an important day today, why doesn't Senior Brother go look for the pearl phoenix crown in the Orchid Garden?"

Xie Jinghuan's words to the noble men and ladies of the aristocratic family are different. For the ladies, today's treasure hunt banquet is just to see the children of the Jiuzhou aristocratic family, to look for the treasures in the garden, and to taste the delicacies on the sea. Delicious food is enough, but for the children of the aristocratic family, whoever can find Xie's pearl phoenix crown today will be able to marry Xie Shu.

The rules were set by Mr. Xie, and naturally only Mr. Xie knew the secrets.

Qiu Mubai rubbed the glass cup in his hand, and his handsome face showed a hint of inscrutability: "Xie's pearl phoenix crown is said to be the collection of the founding queen of the Great Xia Dynasty. How can such a treasure be obtained by ordinary people. "

The pearl phoenix crown may be in Xie Shu's boudoir, or in Xie's treasury, or in a treasure place full of traps. It cannot be found by looking for it. Xie must give it to him willingly. Come up.

His purpose today was indeed very clear, to defeat Feng Mianzhou and Prince Zhaohe to settle a marriage with Xie Shu, the daughter of the Xie family. However, seeing Mianzhou's leisurely and absent-minded appearance, he did not want to marry Xie Shu at all.

Qiu Mubai felt a little unhappy in his heart. The person his junior brother wanted to marry was Yue Mingge, right?

It's as if he was full of ambition and strategizing, but in the end he couldn't compete with his opponents and just gave up!

This feels terrible!

Even the vanity of marrying the most beautiful woman in the family has been diluted a lot. In terms of beauty, Xie Shu can't compare to the girl in the painting he saw when he was young.

The two of them sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake drinking tea, relatively speechless, until the sound of footsteps came, and Xiao Liao and several children from aristocratic families came over panting: "Feng Mianzhou, you told me to find it easy, and I found it. You looked around, but I didn’t expect you to be sitting here drinking tea.”

Wang Tao and others who came with Xiao Liao quickly bowed to Feng Mianzhou and Qiu Mubai.

The three aristocratic families were all excited. Who would have thought that all three of them could come to Xie's treasure hunt banquet? It was really thanks to Lady Yue's blessing that now the three of them could not only come to this first feast in Jiuzhou, but also meet the rumored The heir to the Feng family and the eldest son of the Duke of Jin dare to say that they have met the nobles of Shengjing when they return home!

"Is something wrong?" Feng Mianzhou said coldly, his expression on him was neither good nor bad. Anyway, this guy pesters Ming Ge every day. When he returns to Shengjing, he will definitely let his father beat him so hard that he won't be able to get out of bed for a month.

Xiao Xiaoniu drank a cup of tea while chewing peonies and gasped: "I met the county boss when I came here just now. Ming Ge was not with her. I searched a lot but couldn't find Ming Ge. I was worried that something might happen to her."

Feng Mianzhou's eyes dimmed.

Qiu Mubai raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "How could Mr. Xie ruin his own banquet?"

Xiao Liao patted his thigh and said anxiously: "You don't know, the Li family from Nanyang County is also here. The old man of the Li family said that he tied up his son to apologize to Feng Mianzhou, but I looked around and didn't see Li Xi at all. That guy.

That boy was so tired. He came here with his head hanging on his belt. If he didn't do something big and grand, would he be able to escape death? "

Feng Mianzhou and Qiu Mubai's expressions both changed, and the way they looked at Xiao Liao changed. It is true that the Xie family would not destroy themselves in their own territory, but the Li family in Nanyang County was different. They had already had a deadly feud with the Feng family, and Li Xi's life was in Feng Mianzhou's hands.

If Mr. Li can save Mr. Xie's worries and Li Xi's life is saved, Mr. Xie will save him!

Feng Mianzhou stood up suddenly and walked out without saying a word.

Xiao Liao kicked Wang Tao and others who were stunned behind him, and said anxiously: "Why are you so stunned? Hurry and find Lady Yue."

Seeing them looking for people one after another, Qiu Mubai rubbed the ring on his thumb and made a gesture, and suddenly a very faint shadow appeared in the pavilion.

"Find the location of Yue Mingge."

"Yes."

Qiu Mubai stood up and looked at the sun shining on the lake. The water was sparkling like gold. He wanted to find the girl, but he stopped abruptly.

In this treasure hunting party, he is already the winner! The junior brother chose Yue Mingge. Prince Zhaohe was given up by Xie Shu that day at Qianjin Tower. The only person she could choose was herself!

As long as he stays in the Huxin Pavilion and does not participate in the overt and covert fighting here, then someone will naturally send the pearl phoenix crown to his hands. With the help of the Xie family, and he has a hundred thousand troops on the border, by then the imperial power will be , all beauties are in his hands.

When he sits in that position, all the beauties in the world, even her, can only belong to him.

Maybe he can make the scene more chaotic and maximize the benefits. After all, the Showa prince has not left the palace for more than 20 years. This is an excellent opportunity!

A cold smile flashed in Qiu Mubai's eyes.

*

Ming Ge hummed a tune from the Big Moon Country, stepped on the floor lamps in the courtyard with his toes, and picked several flowers along the way. Then, just as he was about to enter the rockery in front, he saw a person walking out from the shadow of the tree. Shout: "Ming Ge."

She raised her eyes and saw that standing under the hibiscus tree in front of her was the Prince of Showa, Gu Ji, whom she had only met a few days ago.

Prince Showa did not have anyone with him. He stood alone under the flower tree. His handsome face was a little pale, and his expression looked a little wrong.

Ming Ge narrowed his eyes, stepped forward to support him, and asked, "Do you have asthma?"

Prince Showa nodded, supported the tree and sat on the big stone under the tree. He took out the medicine bag in his armhole, took a few sips, his face softened, and he smiled gently at her: "Did it scare you? I didn't either. Thinking about having an asthma attack in winter."

There is a lot of pollen in spring and summer, so he never goes out.

Ming Ge sat on a small stone next to him and said with a crooked smile: "Asthma is not a serious disease. This medicine bag of yours is very good. Later I will prepare a concoction for you. You can spray it into your throat and it will relieve your asthma." Symptoms, and don’t touch petals, feathers, etc…”

Prince Zhaohe was stunned and almost believed her when she saw her calm words.

The entire hospital was helpless about his asthma. This medicine bag was his life-saving tool, and he almost never left the medicine without it, but in Mingge's words, it seemed like a minor illness.

The most valuable thing is that she does not treat him as a patient, her attitude is the same as before, without even the slightest restraint or respect, as if they are just ordinary friends.

Prince Showa suddenly felt happy and asked in a low voice: "Thank you Mingge, I'm much better now. Why are you here?"

"I came out to play, why didn't His Highness bring any bodyguards?"

"Lanyuan is where the ladies of the Xie family live. It is not easy to let the children of the family and the ladies in, so the guards and maids are not allowed in." Prince Showa said gently. He is a prince, and his words and deeds are more than ordinary. The children of the aristocratic family must be gentle and humble.

Ming Ge frowned and smiled: "Your asthma is easy to relapse. You stay with me and I will protect you."

Idiot, he came to the treasure hunt banquet without any guards. If the Xie family chose someone else to kill the prince and rebel on the spot, their Great Xia Dynasty would be in danger.

Along the way, she had vaguely seen signs of troubled times.

Prince Showa was stunned. Looking at the bright and smart Ming Ge, he gasped violently. Such a delicate and weak girl, she actually said that she wanted to protect him?

Doesn't she know that her background is unknown and her appearance is stunning? If the children of aristocratic families and princes and nobles take notice of her, will the Feng family still fight for her? When the time comes, she will either become a nun or marry into a wealthy family as a concubine.

Just now, he called her out when he saw that she was alone.

A smile emerged from the corners of Prince Showa's lips, and his voice was soft: "Okay, then I'll rely on Ming Ge to protect me."

Ming Ge reached out and patted his shoulder, smiling: "Who said we were friends? You also said you wanted to take me to visit Shengjing. I want to protect your safety. Come on, let's go find Xie's treasure ."

Ming Ge patted his clothes, pulled Prince Showa to his feet, and continued walking towards the rockery.

There is no one around Prince Showa. If it were her, she would never miss such an excellent opportunity. Very good, she and Prince Showa can be regarded as brothers and sisters in need, so let's support each other and go together.

When Gu Ji saw this, he laughed softly, and followed her into the rockery like a sick man.
