Traveling to the present: the white-collar life of the queen

Chapter 177 A Poignant Love Story

There is a swing frame in the back garden, and it is spring at this moment, Mai Mai is afraid to go up because she is pregnant, Qingqing is leisurely swinging on it, and Zhou Yu is rarely in such a good mood, and asks:

"You two beauties, do you know the origin of Qiangwei's name?"

I just googled it early in the morning and found a legend, and now Zhou Yu is going to show off.

The two shook their heads and said they didn't know. Zhou Yu smiled triumphantly and began to pretend to be profound. Seeing that the two were in a hurry, he opened his mouth and said:
"It is said that a long time ago, at the foot of Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang Province, there lived a family. The girl's name was Qiangwei. Her father died early. She and her mother depended on each other and lived a difficult life. Akang, a young neighbor, was kind and helpful. He often helped Qiangwei cut Firewood and carrying water, as time goes by, the two love each other and make a private commitment for life.

One year, the emperor issued an order to select beauties to enter the palace, and Qiangwei was selected.When the girl heard the news, she fainted immediately.The officials forced him to bring people to Beijing.The mother begged hard, and then agreed to postpone it for two days.The well-meaning folks secretly told Qiangwei to hide in the deep mountains, and if the government dignitaries are important, they would say that they died of a sudden illness.

Unexpectedly, the news of this incident leaked out, and the money-grubbing person informed the government of the secret.The county magistrate reported to the court, and the emperor was furious, and ordered to hunt him down. If he was alive, he wanted the man, and if he died, he wanted the corpse.Akang and Qiangwei rushed into the mountain and fled with all their might.

But how can you escape the pursuers on horseback on foot?Hearing that the sound of horseshoes was approaching, Qiangwei resolutely jumped off the cliff in order not to disturb Akang.Akang was very sad and jumped off.The pursuers searched and patrolled, found two corpses under the cliff, and transported them back to the capital.

When the emperor saw the corpse, he was angry and hated, and ordered people to pour oil on the corpse and burn it, but after burning for a whole day and night, the skin color of the corpse did not change, and it was intact.He also ordered people to raise the knife to smash the corpse, but the steel knife could not cut through.The emperor became furious and ordered to throw it into the sea, but the body did not sink.

At this time, there were complaints from all over the court, and some bold people called the emperor a cruel and faint king.The emperor didn't dare to continue to commit crimes, so he ordered people to salvage the corpses and bury them together at the foot of Tianmu Mountain.

Soon a beautiful flower with many thorns grew out of the new grave.People say that the flower was changed by the rose girl, and the flower thorns were born by Akang to protect the rose, so it was named "Qiangwei". "

Seeing Qingqing's fascinated eyes, Zhou Yu knew that he told the story very well. Of course, this was the first step of his "chasing youth plan".
