Although He Yao was not unfamiliar with cooking, she was basically not required to cook when she was in Baisha Hall. After following Huang Qiong, she no longer needs to cook. Although the four women are not picky about food, in terms of cooking skills, they are far behind Zhang Qiaoer. Today, we had a table of home-cooked dishes cooked and prepared by Zhang Qiaoer himself, which made the girls feel unusually happy.
After the servants removed all the remaining seats, Huang Qiong asked people to summon the mother and son. After taking a shower, changing into winter clothes, and eating a full meal, I felt much better. Just because of their identities, the three people knelt on the ground and trembled. Huang Qiong pointed to Zhang Qiaoer who was standing next to her and said, "She is the owner of this place. From now on, Madam can help her take care of this family."
Although Huang Qiong's tone was extremely kind, the woman still did not dare to raise her head. He just knelt down and said tremblingly: "The emperor's kindness, the common people are really grateful. It's just that the common people know that their abilities are limited, and they are really not the material to be a housekeeper. They only ask the mistress to give Cao Min's two children a bite of food, and the common people are already grateful to the emperor." The great kindness of these empresses and this mistress."
In response to this woman's words, Huang Qiong raised her hand and said: "Get up and talk. You and I didn't just meet each other. Along the way, didn't you and my beloved wives have a good chat? Why am I still a little restrained now? Don’t worry, this lady has a great temperament. As long as you can help her manage this family, she will definitely not treat you badly. As for the rest, we will talk about it later. "
"You can just stay here with peace of mind, educate your two children well, and help manage this mansion. This is your greatest gratitude to me. I know that you have a strong temper, so you should catch up on the things assigned to you as soon as possible. I Seeing that both children are of good character, I will tell Mrs. Liu to let them study with the children in the mansion. As long as they are promising in the future, you will have someone to rely on in the future."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, the woman did not dare to say anything more. The eldest son beside her had a complicated expression. Although he didn't dare to act openly, he was still secretly looking at the person in front of him, his de facto stepfather. I originally wanted to ask my mother if she was like the rumors, but now she became his concubine. But after hesitating for a long time, he finally didn't dare to ask.
In fact, after learning Huang Qiong's identity, the child had extremely complicated thoughts. He had not seen his mother since he was a child. Every time he carefully asked his grandmother, he could only get the answer that she was dead. Later, when his stepmother came into the house, he didn't ask again. But he still vaguely remembered that when he was a child, there was a woman who always sent some things and money to his grandmother every once in a while.
He would also stand there from a distance and secretly take a look at himself. It's just that every time that woman comes, there are always people around her, and her grandmother has always been very defensive and is not even allowed to say anything to herself. It was only because of the things that this woman brought that the family could survive without starving to death. Later, although the woman kept sending money and gifts, she never came again.
I never knew who that woman was. When I ask my grandmother, she always impatiently says that she is a distant relative. If you ask again, grandma will get angry and hit someone. Because he hadn't seen that woman again for several years, he couldn't remember what she looked like. I only vaguely remember that when that woman came to see me, she was pulled away crying every time.
Although the woman is no longer here in the past few years, money and gifts have continued to be given away. He still remembers that the people who gave money and gifts in the past two years were all people with drake voices and extremely unpleasant speech. The neighbors all said that those people were people from the palace, that is, everyday husbands. Those neighbors often envied their family, who were so poor that they were almost scumbag, but they actually had relatives in the palace.
The money sent over is also more than before. But almost all of this money was gambled away by his father. Originally, I thought that my biological mother had passed away. Until one day last year, I accidentally overheard my grandmother complaining about how my father took the money sent by the woman and gave it to the father-in-law in vain. It could have taken a while, but in the end, he gave away the one hundred dollars so generously.
But my father proudly told my grandmother that this hundred thousand dollars was nothing. This little money is spent, but more money can be made back. If we don't spend this hundred dollars, how can we find out what that woman is doing now and that there is a secret about the eunuch beside her? If you don't find out who that woman is now, how can you get more money from her?
Could it be that the hundred bucks she had brought to him every six months, whether he was full or hungry, were not enough for him to gamble happily? Even this amount of money is enough for their family to have enough food and clothing for a year. She sent over a hundred guan in cash only in half a year, and there were so many things, so she was definitely not short of money now. If he wants to ask her for more money, he must find out her background.
Look now, that hundred dollars was not wasted. That woman didn't know what kind of bad luck she had, and now she actually entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine. Although she is a low-level concubine, but she is the emperor's wife, how can she still be short of money? Even if this thing is exposed from the seam of the hand, it is enough for my family to enjoy spicy food. She has so much control in her hands, why are she still afraid that she will be dishonest?
The emperor's woman was not only married, but also had a son with her ex-husband. I'm afraid she will never want to mention this matter in her lifetime. As long as he threatens her with this, she will definitely be obedient and hand over the money in her hand? Her stepmother firmly opposed her father's words at that time. The stepmother told the two confused mother and son that life in the palace was not that easy.
Although the child's mother entered the palace and became a concubine, she would not have much money. What's more, the child belongs to their family. According to the old saying, the mother remarries. If the child does not remarry with the mother, the mother has nothing to do with the child. What's more, the child's mother has done very well over the years. When she was in the British Prince's Palace and now in the palace, she didn't have much sex every month.
I have had people bring money to my family over the years, and I estimate that most of the money has been given back to my children. In these years, the family has relied on other people's money to support themselves. Now, for a little money, not only do you not know how to thank others, but you also use excuses to blackmail them. Isn't this a white-eyed wolf? How will a child face his mother in the future? How will fathers and grandmothers face their children?
Of course, the stepmother's objections were not accepted by the mother and son who were blinded by the desire for profit. She was also beaten by her husband so hard that she couldn't get out of bed for several days. It was during those few days when he was taking care of his stepmother who couldn't get out of bed that he realized that his mother was not dead, but was lost in a bet by his father. First, she went to Prince Yong's Mansion and became a dancer. Later, she heard that Prince Yong gave her to Prince Yong.
The British king inherited the throne, and his mother also entered the palace and became the concubine of the current emperor. At the same time, his stepmother also told him things that he had not heard about later. He didn't listen at all, and his stepmother tried to persuade her. What's more, his father, who in his eyes could easily obtain huge profits, had originally said that he would try to find connections and have someone send a message to his mother in the palace.
If she doesn't want her past affairs to be revealed and the emperor to know that she is not only married but also has a son, then she can obediently send her 10,000 yuan. He still remembers what his stepmother always warned him. No matter where you go in the future, never forget your mother. Everything my mother is doing now is for him. He grew up because his mother gave him blood and tears.
For this stepmother, he is not only grateful, but also has always had great respect for her. Because he knew that if it hadn't been for this stepmother, after she got married and the family was so poor, she had to find ways to recuperate her body, so that she could survive as a young child. It was also my stepmother who taught me the principles of life and kept me from going astray in that environment.
What moved him most was that the current difficulties in Mingming's family were all due to his gambling-addicted father and greedy grandmother. But because my family has no money to study, the most sad thing is my stepmother. And that day, not only did I tell myself that my biological mother was still alive, I even warned myself again and again that my biological mother was not easy and had a bumpy fate. Let yourself never forget your biological mother.
He benefited a lot from his stepmother's kindness, generosity, and tenacity and strong character. Although in my heart, I already regard this stepmother as my biological mother. But one day, after he could find out his mother's whereabouts, he still wanted to ask. At least he wanted to know whether his mother's life was good and whether she was happy or not. Because his stepmother repeatedly told him not to forget his biological mother.
But when facing the supreme king of a country, he didn't dare to ask. That day, I overheard my father saying that he and his current family were a stain on my mother, and there must be no such person in the palace. What's more, she always sends money and gifts to her ex-husband's children. If the emperor found out about these things about my mother, I am afraid that even the nine clans would be affected lightly.
Seeing the child's timid expression but hesitant to speak, how could Huang Qiong not guess what he was thinking. Huang Qiong said to the child with a faint smile: "You child, do you want to ask about your mother? I can tell you that your mother is living a pretty good life in the palace, so you don't need to go overboard. I miss you. At least I won’t treat my woman badly.”
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, not only the child was stunned, but also his stepmother. Originally, the stepmother had been worried that her child would lose control after meeting the emperor. Asking about her mother's whereabouts would not only anger the emperor and empress, but also bring great trouble to his mother. After all, I have never heard that the emperor would allow his concubine to have children with his predecessor.
Facing the astonished mother and son, Huang Qiong said: "You two really think that I have been married to my concubine and don't know that I have a child with my ex-husband? Let me tell you, I not only know this, Back then, I accompanied your mother to visit you, and I almost enjoyed your grandmother's dirty water treatment. Today, I recognized your grandmother as soon as she acted up."
"What's more, whether it was in the original British palace or the current palace, could she give away a penny without my permission? Not only do I know about this, but my queen and two noble concubines also know about it. They Not only does she know about it, but she has also been helping your mother secretly. She is thinking of ways to supplement your mother. Her annual gifts and monthly salary are higher than those of concubines at the same level."
"Otherwise, how could she have the money to fill that bottomless pit with just her monthly income? The queen and I did this because although your mother had a rough life, she was at least a qualified mother. Even if she entered the palace, she would not forget it. I also have a child who is suffering. Even though I can’t take him to my side and raise him personally, I still try my best to leave all my savings to you.”
