Chapter 46 Dreamland
When Mrs. Han saw her third daughter throwing away her clothes and saying such words, she became furious.
She raised her hand to attack fiercely, but Ying Bao backed away to avoid it.
"You little bitch! How dare you talk to your mother like this!" Mrs. Han took the clothes-beating stick and whipped it, and cursed angrily: "I'm just asking you to dance, not to receive guests, so why are you pretending to be innocent? "
Ying Bao ignored her and ran out.
She is not stupid, just waiting for Mr. Han to beat her up.
As he ran to the entrance of the hospital, he suddenly bumped into his biological father, Chen Changping.
Chen Changping, dressed in a green shirt and robe, looked at her coldly.
After all, Ying Bao was a little afraid of this biological father. Although he had never beaten her, he did not treat her as a human being.
When her biological mother beat her, and when Chen Zhao and Chen Xu bullied her, they never said a word to stop her.
His silent indifference and contempt made Ying Bao instinctively afraid.
"Chen Ying, follow me."
As Chen Changping said this, he winked at his wife and signaled her to leave.
Mr. Han threw away the clothes-beating stick and left angrily.
Ying Bao hesitated for a moment, then followed her biological father into his study.
Chen Changping sat down behind the desk and spoke slowly: "Chen Ying, your mother has always had a short temper, and she was a bit rough with you. Don't blame her."
For the first time, Yingbao heard her biological father say something about her biological mother, the Han family, and was a little confused.
Chen Changping coughed and added: "You have suffered hard outside these years, so you resent your mother. I don't blame you for this."
Ying Bao sneered secretly and listened absently to her biological father's continued words.
"She did it for your own good. Look at you, as a junior, you have been contradicting your mother since you were a child, and you have also done many wrong and evil things. How can you not make your mother angry?
The decision to send you out a few years ago was made by your mother out of desperation because you were too rebellious and disobedient to discipline. "
Ying Bao tilted her head and asked, "So, she redeemed me because she thought I had been educated?"
The veins on Chen Changping's forehead were beating wildly. He resisted the urge to slap the table and said softly: "Chen Ying, I was also negligent as a father before and didn't take you back earlier. But now that you are back, you should change your temper and treat you well." Mother gets along.”
Yingbao said nothing.
It's not that I don't want to get along well with my biological mother, but that my biological mother hates me extremely and doesn't intend to treat her as a daughter.
I didn't understand before, I thought I had done something wrong to be disliked by them.
But she was fourteen years old, and she had spent five years in a mixed-race place like Wuchun Yuan, so she could already see through many things.
For example, her biological father and mother treat her differently from her second sister and younger brother.
Let’s not talk about Chen Xu, the only boy in the family, but let’s talk about the second sister Chen Zhao. Although she is also a daughter, she grew up beside them. She is sweet-tongued and smart, and she can make the best of things, so she is loved by her father.
Although the biological mother, Mrs. Han, only liked her son, she beat and scolded her second daughter Chen Zhao, even if the second sister occasionally talked back to her.
Therefore, Yingbao felt that it was not because she did something wrong that she was beaten and scolded, but because no matter what she did, it was wrong.
In this case, why should she deliberately try to please him?
Chen Changping couldn't help but feel angry when he saw that his little daughter looked like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water. She was not moved by his words.
After enduring it again and again, he still said in a soft voice: "Chen Ying, you are old now, and you will be married to someone else in the future. Your mother also wants to find you a wealthy family, so she will teach you strictly. You There is no need to bear grudges against her;
As parents, we all hope that our children will be successful and prosperous in the future.
Alas, there are no bad parents in the world. You must understand what it means to respect your elders and what filial piety is. It is the duty of a child to be submissive. "
Yingbao was silent.
She never expected her biological father and mother to give her glory and wealth, nor would she accept anything that happened.
But she always had a hidden thought in her heart.
She wanted to get a household registration guide, escape from this home quickly, and earn money to support herself in the future.
Otherwise, just like the eldest sister Chen Wan, she would get married and leave the Chen family.
Even if you marry a poor peasant, it is better than being beaten and scolded every day and every month.
To be honest, life in Wuchunyuan was better than her life at this home. There, she had Sister Wen as her companion. When she was not practicing dancing, she could occasionally go shopping with Sister Wen to buy snacks and read story books.
"Chen Ying, I have a distinguished guest coming to my house this afternoon."
Chen Changping thought he had laid the groundwork, so he said what he wanted to say the most, "Whether this family can prosper or not, and whether you and your second sister can find a good husband, all depend on this person.
Therefore, as a father, I hope you will treat your guests well and never lose your father’s face. "
After a pause, Chen Changping added: "As long as you obey me this time and don't be stubborn again, whatever you want in the future, my father will agree to it."
Ying Bao's expression moved slightly and asked, "What if I want fifty taels of silver, plus a household registration guide?"
She wanted to find Sister Wen.
Because Sister Wen said that she would start a singing and dancing troupe in the future and make herself the foreman.
Chen Changping lowered his eyelids and said, "Okay."
"Really?" Ying Bao was a little excited, "Then you swear first that you will give me fifty taels of silver and a guide, and let me leave."
Chen Changping pressed his temples and said, "I swear to my father."
"Okay." Ying Bao became happy and said, "But I can only do Hu Xuan Wu and nothing else."
She danced the Hu Xuan dance the best, and because of her petite and exquisite figure, she twirled to the beat of the drum, like a soaring sparrow.
"Just dance the Hu Xuan Dance." Chen Changping breathed a sigh of relief.
His brother-in-law Chen Guanglu told him that the distinguished guest only loved Hu Xuanwu, especially the dance performed by clever little ladies. If he favored him, he would be able to get the position of county magistrate.
Before, Chen Changping had never thought of buying a dancer who could dance, but his brother-in-law said that the dancer he bought was a slave because of his noble status and would not be of interest to him.
After all, Chen Ying is his own daughter, and she can be regarded as a girl from a scholar's family. Even though she has stayed in Wuchun Court for a few years, she is still innocent and will not offend the nobles.
In the evening, a few well-dressed guests came to the house.
Walking in the middle was a middle-aged scribe wearing a Baina Taoist robe.
Chen Changping led this person to sit down at the main table and ordered the cook to bring wine and dishes.
After drinking for three rounds, Yingbao entered the main hall under Han's push.
She put on a red dance skirt and foot bells, stood barefoot on the disc and danced the Hu Xuan Dance.
The dancers danced wildly and spun quickly to the beat of the drums, keeping everyone's eyes glued to the scene.
The middle-aged scribe was obviously very happy. He immediately rewarded her with a piece of jade wall and asked her if she would go to Fucheng with him.
Of course Ying Bao was unwilling and refused directly.
The scribe laughed, but was not angry.
On the contrary, Chen Changping looked very ugly and kept glaring at her, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Ying Bao seemed not to have seen her, and happily returned to her room with the jade wall, changed out of her dance skirt and put on her own cotton coat.
At this time, the second sister Chen Zhao and Chen Xu, who was almost nine years old, walked in.
Chen Xu saw the jade wall on Yingbao's bed and grabbed it in his hand.
"Give it back!" Ying Bao didn't tolerate him and immediately went to grab it.
The second sister Chen Zhao deliberately blocked Ying Bao and allowed Chen Xu to run out.
"asshole!"
Ying Bao was so angry that she pushed Chen Zhao down violently. Old and new hatreds came to her heart. She rode on top of her and beat her hard...
…
"Bao'er, Bao'er, wake up..."
Ying Bao was shaken awake and opened her eyes blankly.
Chun Niang hugged the little girl and patted her, "Bao'er had a nightmare?"
Just now, my daughter has been cursing people and waving her hands and feet wildly, but she was scared to death.
