Qi Bao'er listened for a while without entering the room, and roughly heard what Mrs. Mao said about the current situation of the Mao family.
——Mrs. Mao was transferred to Beijing in the second year after Shi Lang Mao was transferred to Beijing as a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel 12 years ago, and she was euphemistically called - pension.
At this time, Shilang Mao had been married to his step-wife, Weishi, for more than half a year.
Mr. Mao and Miss Mao, the two children born to Mr. Mao's first wife, have been raised by Mrs. Mao's side after their first wife died.
The above is the information her mother told her last night.
The following is what she guessed based on Mrs. Mao’s cry:
——After Mrs. Mao came to Beijing, because of her daughter-in-law’s high status and her low self-esteem because she was an outsider and illiterate, plus she was not someone who would waste time on her daughter-in-law, she never showed off her mother-in-law after coming to Beijing.
Yes, the two stepsons and stepdaughters were also afraid that Mrs. Mao would be upset, so they always kept her with them [this reason is questionable].
Mrs. Mao is really good-looking. Not only does she take care of all the daily chores in Mrs. Mao's life, but she also arranges her stepsons and stepdaughters properly.
Especially for stepsons and stepdaughters, it is not an exaggeration to call her a model stepmother.
At the beginning, Mrs. Mao also thought that Mrs. Mao was a good person. She was so beautiful in person. The stepchildren's clothing, food, housing and transportation were all in good condition. As soon as her stepson entered Beijing, he arranged for him to go to school. Not only did his stepdaughter specially invite her to
A grandma who had taught the girls in the Prime Minister's Mansion came to teach them. She stayed up all night when the two children were sick, and she did a better job than her own mother.
But it didn't take long for Mrs. Mao to discover that the two children's temperament was getting more and more crooked, and they would show their ignorant side at every turn, especially in front of Minister Mao, they would always be disrespectful to their stepmother who was sincerely treating them;
The abbreviation is, I don’t know what is good or bad.
Gradually, Mr. Mao became more and more disappointed with his eldest son and eldest daughter. After Mrs. Mao gave birth to a son, the relationship between Mr. Mao and his eldest son and eldest daughter became more and more difficult.
The ancestors of the Mao family are also a big family, and they have family rules passed down from their ancestors: if you make a small mistake, you will be whipped with a whip, if you make a big mistake, you will be punished.
Since Mr. Mao entered Beijing, being whipped has almost become a necessity in his life. It is really like a new wound has been added to the old wound before it has healed.
But this was the only time it was serious enough to hit me, but just once was enough, and my life was almost over.
The eldest son Mao is nineteen years old this year, and his half-brother is nine years old. They are exactly ten years apart, and both are studying at Wenren College in Beijing.
Half a month ago, Wenren College held a scholar-level exchange conference, and Mr. Mao, who was already a scholar, would naturally attend.
He didn't know that his younger brother Mao Ergong also went there that day, and had a conflict with Da Sima's grandson. Da Sima's grandson had a bad temper, was older than Mao Ergong, and was good at martial arts. As a result, Mao Ergong was killed by Da Sima.
Sima's grandson gave him a good beating.
Then, after Master Mao returned home injured, he didn’t know whether he had told the truth to Mrs. Mao or not. When Mr. Mao came back from his resignation, the mother and son cried to Mr. Mao about the fact that Mr. Mao had told Mrs. Mao the truth outside the academy.
Second Young Master Mao was tied up in an alley and beaten.
One was an almost perfect stepmother, and the other was a naughty eldest son. Shilang Mao chose to believe in Mrs. Mao without a second thought.
As soon as Mr. Mao came back, he was taken and beaten ten times.
Unfortunately, or maybe it was just a coincidence, Mrs. Mao was taking Miss Mao to a temple outside the city to pray for blessings that day. She was not at home.
By the time they and their grandchildren came back, it was already two days after Mr. Mao was imprisoned. During these two days, not only did the family not ask a doctor for treatment, but they also locked Mr. Mao in the woodshed.
Even a fool could see that the two injured legs were not caused by family law.
Mrs. Mao was so angry that she wanted to go to her son to ask for an explanation, but she knew that it would be useless. Her son was no longer her son, and he was no longer the father of her eldest grandson and granddaughter.
Moreover, the entire inner courtyard of Mao Mansion is in the hands of Mrs. Mao, and she may not be able to see her son.
Mrs. Mao didn't even return to her own yard, and hurriedly took Mr. Mao out of the house. She didn't even dare to stop in the capital, and rushed all night to her cousin's house in Yong'an City.
Qi Baoer blinked, a trace of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
Why?
Because the two old ladies inside turned a corner and actually talked about other things, it was so sudden.
The person whose life or death is unknown in the Wensi Courtyard is the grandson of Mrs. Mao inside, right?!
Mrs. Mao, with a slightly choked voice, talked about the Concubine Ming in the palace.
After listening to it for a while, Qi Baoer realized, okay, it turned out that it was somewhat involved.
It turns out that the Ming Concubine is the granddaughter of the right prime minister. She was elected to the palace five years ago. She has been cheating since she entered the palace. From being a talented person when she entered the palace, it took only four years for her to be in this year's palace.
At the annual banquet, she was named one of the eight concubines.
It is said that he is very favored by the emperor. Now the emperor visits the harem several times every month, and at least one or two of them are to the palace of Concubine Ming.
Concubine Ming is the granddaughter of the right prime minister, and Mrs. Mao is the concubine of the right prime minister. In this relationship, Mrs. Mao is the aunt of the favored concubine in the palace.
After the accident of the Second Young Master Mao, Concubine Ming sent an order to the Second Young Master Mao before he returned home, to severely punish the "murderer" who injured the Second Young Master Mao.
Mrs. Mao's helpless voice came from inside, "As long as You'er's life can be saved, I have no plans to take him back to Beijing. I plan to take him back to his hometown. Although it will be a bit difficult, at least he will be alive."
Qi Baoer's eyebrows and heart beat, turned around and left.
Damn it, the capital seems to be a lot more chaotic now than it was nine years ago, so she might as well run away.
Take Zhuoyu and Twelve with you, then ask your master to go up to the back mountain with you.
Old Qi sat on Yinzai's back with Qi Bao'er, stroking the moist and smooth hair on Yinzai's back. Old Qi's eyes were full of nostalgia.
The back mountain has not changed much, but the original barren hills on the side peak are now densely covered with peach blossoms.
The four of them ran to see the Black Tiger King first. Before Qi Baoer left, he gave the Black Tiger King a pack of poisonous fruits. After the Black Tiger King came back, with the poisonous fruit, it could leave the poisonous miasma. This girl is grateful.
, from time to time, he would run around the village several times to silently guard Qijia Village.
This was what Old Man Qi accidentally discovered last year when he had diarrhea in the middle of the night. At that time, the Black Tiger King was standing at the door of his courtyard, almost scaring him to the point of shitting his pants.
From then on, Mr. Qi would occasionally go up the mountain to see the Black Tiger King. He felt as if he had seen it and was closer to his granddaughter.
Perhaps because one person and one tiger think about the same person, over the past year, Old Man Qi and the Black Tiger King have developed a deep friendship.
The Black Tiger King would always hunt some game from time to time and leave it at the door of Qi's house in the middle of the night. Old Qi couldn't hunt anymore, but didn't he raise pigs at home? Every half month, he would ask Qi Kangfu to send a domestic pig to the mountain to eat black.
