Chapter 25: "The Origin of the Burning Blossom Valley"
That night, the eldest princess of Hengtai sent someone to invite the four British duchess to the princess's mansion for dinner, but was rejected by the princess of Jiangjun on the grounds that Xiao Yunning and Nalan Youruo were not feeling well.
Qiu Yu rested yesterday afternoon, so he couldn't sleep this morning and got up early, and after a while, there was a sound in the Luo tent, and Qiu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to hang up the Luo tent.
Nalan Youruo opened his eyes and touched the corners of his eyes, "What time is it?"
Qiu Yu brought the dried honey water to Nalan Youruo, "It's time, Miss is going to get up, or sleep for a while" Nalan Youruo smiled, "Don't sleep, I slept all afternoon yesterday, I really can't be a pig, let people carry hot water to me and I want to take a bath"
The autumn rain blessed the body, and then withdrew to let people carry hot water, because Nalan Youruo would usually take a bath if he got up in the morning, so the autumn rain made people prepare hot water early.
After a while, the hot water was poured into the bath bucket, and Qiu Yu tested the temperature of the water with his hands, sprinkled the petals into the water, and then withdrew, because Nalan Yuruo didn't like people around when he was bathing.
An hour later, after Nalan Youruo dressed up, he took Lixia to the house of the British duchess.
As soon as he walked to the door, Nalan Youruo heard the laughter inside, and after Nalan Youruo walked in, he found that Concubine Jiangjun and Xiao Yunning had arrived.
"Granddaughter to grandmother to say goodbye" and then to the princess of Jiangjun blessed the body, "to Grandmother Jiang to say goodbye" The British old lady looked at the little granddaughter like a flower and jade and said happily, "Okay, get up, come and sit down with grandmother"
Nalan Youruo stood up and sat on the embroidered pier in front of the British duchess, and asked with concern, "How did grandmother sleep last night?"
Nalan nodded obediently, and asked the princess of Jiangjun, "Grandmother Jiang slept well?"
Princess Jiangjun smiled softly at Youruo, "It's good" The British old lady went to Mama Ding to pass breakfast, the breakfast was made with Jiangnan characteristics, and Youruo and Yunning both ate very well.
Today, because the eldest princess Hengtai's family went to the Lin family to attend the banquet, they didn't come here. Xiao Yunning didn't like Tong Ya and Tong Yu, although yesterday was only the first time the three of them met, Xiao Yunning felt that Tong Ya and the two sisters were a little scheming.
"Grandmother, I want to go to Zhuohua Valley tomorrow" Nalan Youruo thought about it, and the British duchess raised her head and looked at Youruo a little embarrassed, "Tomorrow, Yunning's cousin and grandmother are going to celebrate their birthday, Yunning and your grandmother Jiang are going to the banquet, I'm afraid you can't go alone."
Nalan Youruo didn't think about it and said casually, "Grandmother, I can do it alone, Qiu Yu and Dong Xue will do martial arts, besides, didn't my brother leave Captain Du to me, I'll bring him with me tomorrow."
The British duchess thought about it in her heart, but she still felt that it was not good and was about to refute it, but Nalan Youruo made a preemptive strike, "Grandmother, you let me go, it's okay, Captain Du plus two guards, and the martial arts of autumn rain and winter snow are very good."
The British duchess saw that Nalan Youruo had said everything, so she nodded in agreement. Nalan Youruo saw that his grandmother agreed, and immediately smiled like a flower.
Nalan Youruo returned to the room and told the two maids the news of going to Zhuohua Valley, both of them were very happy to hear this, Dongxue asked curiously, "Why does Miss call Zhuohua Valley?"
Nalan Youruo glanced at Qiu Yu, who was also curious, pointed to the stool in front of the table, and the two immediately sat down obediently. Nalan Youruo took a sip of tea, "I'll give you a look at the origin of Zhuohua Valley."
Autumn Rain and Winter Snow nodded.
After seeing the two nodding, Nalan Youruo began to speak, "In the previous dynasty, there was an official son, known as Mr. Ling Yuan, who was in love with a wealthy merchant woman Yu when he went out to play, and made a private agreement for life, but Mr. Ling Yuan's mother set a family affair for Mr. Ling Yuan when Mr. Ling Yuan was away.
But Mr. Ling Yuan refused, and told his mother that he had someone he liked, Mr. Ling Yuan's mother heard that the Yue family was a merchant girl and did not agree, but Mr. Ling Yuan was determined to marry this Yue girl, and threatened his parents with not marrying for the rest of his life.
After Mr. Ling Yuan's parents reluctantly agreed, the two finally got married, and Yue became pregnant in less than a month, which made Mr. Ling Yuan's parents happy, and gradually began to get better for Yue, but the good times did not last long, the fetus fell in less than three months, and the fetus did not survive, and the doctor said that it would be difficult for Yue to get pregnant again in the future.
Mr. Ling Yuan's mother heard that the Yue family could not have children, so she wanted to divorce the Yue family, but after thinking about it, her son would definitely not agree, so she planned to quietly get rid of the Yue family.
Who knew that after Mr. Ling, who was outside, heard the news of his wife's miscarriage, he hurried back, but he found that his mother had drugged his wife, so he took his wife to a Zhuangzi under the name of the Yu family.
The two began to live a life of male farmer and female weaving, his wife Yue likes peach blossoms, Mr. Ling Yuan began to plant peach blossom trees from that time, and then gradually formed a peach blossom forest, Yue died of illness at the age of forty, leaving this peach blossom forest and Mr. Ling Yuan.
Mr. Ling Yuan named this place Zhuohua Valley, the name of the peach is dying, and the name of the Huayu clan is Zhuozhuo, and then after hundreds of years, the peach blossom forest of Zhuohua Valley has also formed ten miles, and it has also begun to be called ten miles of peach blossom forest.
After Nalan Youruo finished speaking, he drank tea, and after listening to it, Qiu Yu suddenly realized, "I see, I have heard of the good name of the Peach Blossom Forest of Ten Miles before, but I have never heard of such a story in this Peach Blossom Forest, how do you know, Miss?"
Nalan Youruo looked at Qiu Yu's face of adoration, and explained to the two, "I also listened to what the master said," Qiu Yu nodded cutely.
The three of them talked about something else.
