Beijing Ji Xiaolan’s Former Residence Travel Guide - Begonia Thoughts

Introduction to Begonia Love: The newly-erected "Begonia Stele" next to the Begonia tree records a legend about Ji Xiaolan's childhood love affair with his maid Wen Luan. Ji Xiaolan and his fourth uncle's maid, Wen Luan, were childhood sweethearts. They had a private marriage under the crabapple tree in their hometown, but Wen Luan's brother separated the two. Wen Luan was too sad and soon passed away. After that, Ji Xiaolan took a concubine named Mingxuan, who looked exactly like Wen Luan. He planted two crabapple trees in the backyard, one to commemorate Wen Luan and the other to commemorate Mingxuan.
