Meizhuang (simplified: 梅庄, traditional: 梅莊, pinyin: Méizhuāng, jyutping: mui4 zong1), the Plum Manor or West Lake Plum Estate, was an estate near West Lake in Hangzhou in Laughing in the Wind. The Four Friends of Jiangnan had retired there, each specialising in one of the four arts: qin (music), qi (weiqi), shu (calligraphy), and hua (painting).
Overview
Secretly, Meizhuang housed the prison where Dongfang Bubai had imprisoned Ren Woxing beneath West Lake. Xiang Wentian arranged for Linghu Chong to visit Meizhuang, luring the Four Friends with rare treasures and musical instruments. Linghu Chong’s victories in the contests led to Ren Woxing’s escape from the underwater prison.
