"Old Madam, they are indeed from Jingmin Pavilion. Xiaodie has just performed for the Empress Dowager. You don't know." Die Wu said, "Is there any misunderstanding? Let Die Wu know."
"Yes, there must be a misunderstanding." Dai Xiao nodded repeatedly.
Mrs. Xia glanced at the maid next to her and leaned against the imperial concubine chair and closed her eyes.
"The old lady loves to listen to operas. This child's singing is really good. The old lady liked it very much, so she let her sing a few more verses." The maid continued after receiving Mrs. Xia's look.
Needless to say, Dai Xiao knew that Xiaodie must have been singing for a long time and her voice was so hoarse. How could Xiaodie offend the old lady by working so hard?
"The old lady wants to hear The Legend of the Tiger. It's a famous play. People who can sing it should be able to sing it. But who knows, this child won't listen." The maid continued in a very dissatisfied tone.
Tiger Fighting Legend
Dai Xiao looked at Xiao Die in her arms and thought that the red marks on her buttocks she just saw could be from being beaten when the tiger cub was beaten.
The Legend of the Tiger is a martial arts fighting scene where someone plays the role of a tiger and gets beaten. However, most of the beatings in the play are fake. How can they be really beaten again and again?
No wonder Xiaodie must have been beaten in pain if she refused.
Thinking about Dai Xiao, her eyes become moist.
"Mom, Xiaodie, I really can't stand it. They beat Xiaodie with sticks. It's very painful." Xiaodie leaned on Dai Xiao's arms and said softly, with tears still hanging on her long eyelashes.
stick
Only then did Dai Xiao notice a one-foot-long short stick thrown on the ground. No wonder the red mark on Xiaodie's butt was so heavy that it was from the stick.
This is not like beating a little tiger, it's clearly in her flesh
Dai Xiao raised her head and looked at Mrs. Xia who was serious. Is this really the old man who loves children? She ignored her love for drama.
Really, only adults in the theater troupe would occasionally grit their teeth and accept a large sum of silver reward in order to provide entertainment for those rich playboys, but at this time, they asked for a child...
"So that's how it is." Die Wu looked at Dai Xiao and her daughter hugging each other and said suddenly, "You kid is really ignorant. The old lady likes to see that it's your favor. Why don't you just be beaten a few times if you don't obey?"
When a child is ignorant, her own parents will also teach her a lesson, not to mention that this is just to make a living. If you make the old lady laugh, why are you worried about not having a good life in the future? You just have to endure the pain for a while. If you can't bear it, it will pass. It's not a big deal."
"Sister Diewu" Dai Xiao frowned. Diewu's words obviously didn't sit well with her ears. What does it mean to be forbearing? What does it mean for her parents to beat their children? It's not like she hasn't endured it, and it's not like she's never spanked Xiaodie, but the same goes for forbearance.
The limited beating of Xiaodie was just to show how he could really hit him so hard. Only someone who is not his own flesh and blood could say such casual and irresponsible words.
"Dai Xiao" Die Wu walked to Dai Xiao and knelt down and whispered, "Don't be blind." Xiaodie is not sensible, and neither are you. You guys have just come to Xia Mansion. The old lady will definitely test you in many ways. You have to be good.
Performance is the indispensable benefit in the future.”
"But" Dai Xiao looked at the stick on the ground. This was really not something she could accept for the sake of performance.
"Dai Xiao," Die Wu straightened up and said loudly, "Don't be ungrateful. You have already signed a contract. If you make the old lady angry, you will be punished. Do you want to be locked in a small dark room and starve for three days and three nights?"
"Mom, Xiaodie, let's play it, let the old lady see our sincerity and then she won't..." Xiaodie tugged on Dai Xiao's sleeve and said softly.
"Look how sensible Xiaodie is," Diewu boasted with a smile [
"Old Madam, can you let me pretend to be a tiger and get beaten while Xiaodie sings lyrics to you?" Dai Xiao asked Xiaodie as she stood up.
This is the only thing she can do at this time to take the beating for her child.
"You" the old lady opened her eyes and glanced at Dai Xiao and said lazily, "I don't like to see an aura tigress."
It’s true that Dai Xiao can’t act or do tricks, so she can’t satisfy the old lady.
"Mom, it's me," Xiaodie said softly, then turned to the old lady, "The old lady can really spank Xiaodie, but can it be gentler?"
Dai Xiao felt a sore nose after hearing this.
"Don't hit me, it's just a child." Mrs. Xia glanced at Dai Xiao, "I can see that I don't want others to suffer, so don't beat me and cry anymore."
It sounds like she really has a bodhisattva heart. If she is really soft-hearted and doesn't want to see others suffer, how can she really make people beat Xiaodie?
"Why don't you thank the old lady quickly?" Diewu reminded from the side.
Dai Xiao was not willing to say thank you at all, but she still wanted to really hit Xiaodie how lightly.
"Thank you, madam." It was Xiaodie who said thank you first.
She really doesn't want to embarrass her mother. If she just endures it, it will pass. She will have a good life in the future. She can endure the pain and stop crying.
"Ruguan, please continue," the old lady said to a maid standing next to her.
"It's the old lady," the maid replied.
This means that the tiger-fighting drama has begun again.
"old lady"
Just as Dai Xiao was about to speak, Die Wu pushed her back, "This is the beginning. You must behave well and not offend the old lady."
"Let's start." Xiaodie endured the pain in her butt and walked to the center of the hall, lying on the ground and twisting her body to do various tricks.
Dai Xiao felt very uncomfortable after seeing this. Why did she send her daughter to this situation? She was so angry that she really wanted to snatch the stick from the hand of the man named Ruguan and beat her hard.
The maid named Ruguan squatted on Xiaodie's body with a wooden stick in her hand.
Dai Xiao felt relieved. Fortunately, she was really riding on Xiaodie. Of course, Xiaodie's small body couldn't support her.
When Dai Xiao was sung in the opera, she didn't find it pleasant at all, but the old lady took the lead and clapped her hands with satisfaction [
"Pa" Ruguan first slapped Xiaodie's face with his palm. Then Daixiao saw red five-finger prints on Xiaodie's face.
Isn't this just a slap on the butt with a stick? Why do you have to slap the face?
Dai Xiao couldn't help but wanted to pounce on "Xiaodie"
Xiaodie endured the pain, held back her tears, and continued to shake her head and act cute.
"Boom"
This time, Ruguan hit Xiaodie on the buttocks with a wooden stick.
Xiaodie's eyes closed tightly and it still hurt.
Although Xiaodie gritted her teeth and resisted crying again, Daixiao also knew from Xiaodie's expression that she was in pain.
Ruguan's strength is not as strong as Xiao Xiaodie's. The tears in her eyes are the blood in her heart flowing drop by drop.
