Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

Or is a domineering name important? When the name "Ruyi Golden Hoop" came out, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Cao Mi pretended not to notice, and started the topic on his own, "A long time ago, the Ruyi Golden Hoop was not called this name, and its owner was not the Monkey King Sun Wukong.

"At that time, the Great Sage Monkey King was just a huge rock on Huaguo Mountain that had been standing for thousands of years. On a rainy night with lightning and thunder, a bunch of lightning that illuminated the entire night sky slashed straight onto this huge rock. , a monkey jumped out of the stone.

"The other monkeys on Huaguo Mountain have never seen the monkey jumping out of the stone, so they called the monkey 'Stone Monkey'. The stone monkey was brought back to Huaguo Mountain by the monkeys and grew up gradually. Lives with other little monkeys, but eats worse than other monkeys.

"The little brown-haired monkey on the left eats huge and juicy peaches, and the red-faced monkey on the right eats big bananas that are just ripe. He is the only one who gets some rotten ones every day. The sour wild fruit that monkeys don't even look at.

"This day, he finally got angry. Why do I eat differently from other monkeys? So he asked about the brown-haired monkey who was holding a peach and nibbling happily."

In modern times, adults have to carefully select variety shows before eating, and children are holding their rice bowls and waiting for the animation that starts at 6 o'clock on time. Listening to stories during mealtimes seems to be an entertainment choice engraved in human nature.

In ancient times when entertainment activities were scarce, there were no comics, and no endless videos. An interesting oral story could attract everyone's attention.

At this point in the story of Cao Mi, there were not only three little ones in the hall, but even the guards on duty outside the hall stretched their ears to listen to her.

"The brown-haired monkey took a sip of peach juice and told the stone monkey: 'What's strange, you don't have parents, of course you can't eat these good things.'"

Cao Mi put his index finger on the tip of Qi Ran's nose, and stared at him with satisfaction.

She smiled contentedly and continued: "The stone monkey scratched its head, looking at the half-rotten wild fruit in its hands, it couldn't keep its mouth shut, and it asked again: 'What are parents? Don't we keep everything we eat in the cave? The old monkey in there gave it to us?'

"Hearing the stone monkey's words, all the monkeys in the cave laughed.

"They told the stone monkey that this is not the case!

"Every monkey is born with a parent, just like a human being, he is born with a father and a mother. The father is strong and brave. He guards the top of Huaguo Mountain every day. The big ox, the little monkeys who live happily, will pick up the stones and fight them bravely. Although the little monkeys rarely see their father, they know that without a father, they would not have a stable life now.

"The mother of the little monkeys is responsible for the food of the little monkeys. The mountains of Huaguo Mountain are high and the water is deep, and the sweet fruits grow on the cliffs. The mother monkeys climb the cliffs every day, and risk falling down accidentally. The abyss, the risk of falling blood, brings the freshest peaches and bananas to the little monkeys.

"As for the old monkey in the cave who distributes food to them every day, in fact, he has no ability, so he can only stay in the cave and feed the little monkeys."

Cao Mi deliberately controlled the speed of her speech. As soon as she finished speaking, Chen shi fed a spoonful of meat porridge to the second child, Qi An.

Qi An looked at the small spoon brought to her mouth, suddenly turned her head and glanced at the wrinkled Chen Shi, and then swallowed the porridge without saying a word.

"The little monkeys told the stone monkeys, you don't have parents, and the monkeys in Huaguoshan have sent kindness to live here, and of course they can only eat sour fruits that everyone doesn't want.

"The stone monkey was very sad after hearing this explanation, but it actually didn't believe the words of those little monkeys. He thought, everyone has parents, only the father and mother will give their children the most selfless love, even if I am Jumping out of a rock, I must have my own parents too!"

Cao Mi has a talent for storytelling. She imitated the tone of the stone monkey, and after performing this psychological activity, the people around her were infected by the emotion of the stone monkey.

Even the always indifferent Qi Rui pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

"He felt that the other little monkeys didn't understand, so he said he had no parents, so he found the oldest and most knowledgeable old monkey in Huaguo Mountain and asked him: 'Grandpa Monkey, do you know who my parents are? ?'

"The monkey, who is so old that his hair is gray, doesn't know it, but he thought about it and told the stone monkey: 'You jumped out of a stone, only the gods know who your parents are!'

"This sentence is actually just a joke, I hope to persuade the stone monkey to stop exploring this unanswered question.

"But Stone Monkey kept this sentence firmly in his heart.

"He secretly swore that one day, he would leave Huaguo Mountain, find the immortal, and ask him who his parents were."

Having said this, Cao Mi suddenly turned his head and looked at the third child Qi Ran, who was already lying on his lap, and the second child Qi An who was standing beside him with his neck stretched out to listen to the story.

"Qi An and Qi Ran are very lucky to know who their father and mother are without asking the gods, right?"

The two children didn't hear Cao Mi's voice, they nodded their heads obediently, and scrambled to reply, "Yes!"

"So, the stone monkey waited and waited, and after two years, he finally grew up.

"On a spring day when the flowers were blooming, he packed up his few things, left Huaguo Mountain, and took the first step to find the immortal." After saying this, Cao Mi smiled slightly. In the eyes of hope and curiosity, a thunderstorm hit the ground, "Okay, the story of the stone monkey Monkey King is too long, so I'll talk about it here today."

Everyone moved for a while, but didn't react at all.

When they wanted to understand the meaning of Cao Mi's words, everyone lowered their heads in frustration.

The servants didn't dare to say anything to Cao Mi, and Qi Rui, as steady as Qi Rui, just quietly put aside the look of anticipation, and the lawless twins naturally quit!

Led by their elder brother Qi An, the two brothers had a crying duet.

"Mother, go on, I want to listen to the stone monkey!" Qi An shouted.

"No, but tomorrow after breakfast, my mother will tell you another paragraph. The stone monkey encountered more interesting things after going down the mountain, and tomorrow's story will definitely be better." Cao Mi comforted.

The third child howled: "No! I want to hear it now, I want it now!"

"No." Cao Mi slowly withdrew the smile on his face.

The two children continued to entangle, Cao Mi directly handed them over to the Chen family, and told the Chen family to take good care of them, so he left Jingming Court with people.

The two children were also smart, and when they saw that the master was gone, they gradually stopped making noise.

Qi Ran approached Mrs. Chen and suddenly said, "Nursing mother, I'm thirsty, I want to eat peaches."

Chen Shi was still holding his rice bowl and looked embarrassed, "Oh, little boy, in this winter, where can the wet nurse find peaches for you?"

Beside, Qi An who heard Qi Ran's question suddenly nodded.

He stepped forward and said to his brother, "Silly! Have you forgotten? The old monkey has no peaches, and the peaches are picked by his mother."

Suddenly, he turned his eyes to the direction Cao Mi had left, and nodded with his fingers in his head, "Then I'll ask my mother for it tomorrow."

Cao Mi didn't know what happened in Jingming Yuan, but she was very satisfied with her improvisation today.

She hopes to help the two children understand the status of their biological parents through her adaptation of "Journey to the West".

Even in modern times, the story of Monkey King has captured thousands of Chinese children and has become a well-deserved "Chinese superhero". Cao Mi believes that such legends can also play a powerful role in this age where children's stories are scarce.

The power of idols is powerful.

But of course, this matter has just started, so don't worry about it for the time being.

After breakfast the next day, she fulfilled her promise and told the children a story about "Journey to the West". This time, she mainly focused on being funny, and made up a few interesting stories that the stone monkeys encountered when they were looking for immortals in the world. When the time was up, she stopped in time and made an appointment with the children for the next storytelling time.

After breakfast, the chief steward of the palace found Cao Mi, "The day before yesterday, Madam mentioned to the prince that she would find some new servants for the palace. The villain has already brought people to the palace. Will Madam come to see it in person?"

Cao Mi suppressed the joy in his heart, nodded and smiled: "Well, there is a housekeeper."

This old housekeeper is worthy of being a trustworthy person of King Qi You of Bei'an. When Cao Mi arrived in the front yard, he found that he had divided the candidates into two groups and settled them in two different courtyards. A group of them were illiterate, rude servants. These people have been initially selected, and those sent to Cao Mi are good candidates who are honest, healthy, and have no family concerns.

The other group is some literate people. The appearance of these people is much better than the first batch of people, and the skin and flesh are tender, and they all look like they have never done rough work.

Cao Mi was very satisfied. Now that she was short of people, she kept everyone in one breath.

Just when she was in the courtyard of those literate servants, asking about their background, a maid came in and hurriedly called her away.

Before he left, Cao Mi said to the people in the courtyard: "From now on, you are my people. I have some urgent matters now, you stay here for now and wait for me to come back. When the time comes, I will arrange it myself. your place."

Everyone should be so, Cao Mi left with satisfaction.

She had been gone for more than half an hour. Just when these people were waiting in the courtyard, Taozi entered the courtyard and asked, "You are the new servants, right? Follow me. Come, let me tell you the basic rules of being a slave in the palace."

Everyone was stunned, and subconsciously prepared to go out with her.

Suddenly, a voice came out of the crowd, "Excuse me, this sister, did you ask us to go out, was the lady instructed?"

Taozi looked over, "Why, I won't invite you if it wasn't for Madam's orders?"

She frowned, "Madam won't be back for a while, you guys are just waiting here. The rules I'm going to talk about later are related to your future in the palace, so keep up."

As soon as she said this, a few people hesitated and stopped.
