It is said that all walks of life in Shengpingtian today have branches of the Bai family. And this is exactly the work of the head of the Bai family in front of him.
"Oh, you're back. Dad is worried to death!" Bai Tiande smiled naively, just like the old birthday girl in the New Year pictures, "Did you endure hardship when you went out? The whole family is looking forward to your return every day."
Bai Hao hugged her father and said angrily when she heard this: "No, you always treat me like a child!"
"Haha, you are just a child in front of daddy." Bai Tiande stroked the hair in front of his daughter's shoulders with a loving look on his face, "But now he is as tall as daddy. My little baby is growing up so fast. ."
"Obviously Dad is too short." Bai Hao giggled and stuck out her tongue.
Dongfang Shiming stood behind Bai Hao, always smiling politely. Watching Bai Hao and his father making out, he couldn't help but think of his father who was still lying in front of the hospital bed.
Although the relationship between father and son is still shallow, they are still father and son, so this scene can't help but feel secretly sad.
Then he thought of Shoumei's final poem, which he still held in his arms at this moment. As long as the suspense remains unresolved, the father's knot cannot be relieved, and of course, that includes himself.
"Dad, do you think anyone else is here this time?" Bai Hao's voice brought Dongfang Shiming back to his senses, but he saw that Bai Tiande and others had already turned their attention to him, so they hurriedly saluted.
"Oh haha, dad has seen it a long time ago." Bai Tiande walked towards him, "I couldn't entertain her well last time. This time I must stay here for a few more days and stay with this girl."
Dongfang Shiming smiled broadly: "Thank you very much, Uncle Shi."
"Hahaha, I'm the one thanking you on behalf of this girl." Bai Tiande turned around and opened the golden-winged folding fan hanging on his waist, deliberately not looking at Bai Hao's gaze, "You just left last time, and this girl... I wanted to find you because I was so noisy. It happened that the Autumn Curtain Painting Banquet held a selection painting exhibition here recently, and it was very lively. You guys have a good time."
Bai Hao's little face turned red, and she ran over and punched her father twice: "Dad, I don't want you to tell me! By the way, why didn't you see your eldest brother?"
The man standing around Bai Tiande, dressed in black and brocade, is the head of the Bai family's internal affairs. He took a step forward and whispered: "The young master finally went out this morning. Now we should talk in the studio."
Bai Tiande's face darkened when he heard any news about his eldest son. He snorted, wondering if he was talking to himself: "Can he still come out? Hum, in a few days, I will send someone to carry the coffin in to take a look."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Bai Hao held her father's arm reproachfully, "Brother, didn't he say that this month he will have to create new works behind closed doors, it must be difficult."
Bai Tiande clearly scorned his eldest son's behavior. Due to his youngest daughter's pleading, he was unable to have an attack. He just smiled bitterly and touched his daughter's head: "Your eldest brother is not doing his job all day long. Sooner or later he will make your father sick."
"Dad, don't talk nonsense." Bai Hao pouted, "Besides, eldest brother is not doing his job properly."
During the day, De didn't say any more and just laughed and chatted with his daughter.
Dongfang Shiming looked at the few people surrounding him, some of whom he still remembered, and some of whom he had forgotten. The tall, slender fifty-year-old man guarding the left side is particularly outstanding. Dongfang Shiming also remembers him. He is the top bodyguard of the Bai family and a holder of the mysterious emblem, named Ying Sanhao. .
The others were mostly guards and housekeepers. He also remembered the chief manager whom he had just spoken to, and he was also the "eldest brother" mentioned by Bai Hao and his daughter.
He had never seen this person last time. According to what Bai Hao mentioned along the way, her eldest brother was obsessed with calligraphy and painting all day long and was a master of art. I think the reason why the head of the Bai family reprimanded him so much was because he was unwilling to take on the Bai family's business.
After all, everyone has his or her own ambitions. It would be strange if all eldest sons were like their eldest brothers.
Over there, during the day, Deben planned to let his daughter sit in the house with Dongfang Shiming, but Bai Hao easily refused. Bai Hao jumped back to Dongfang Shiming, took his hand and said, "Let's go to the building over there to find big brother!"
Dongfang Shiming accommodated her and said goodbye to Bai Tiande. Then he was slowly dragged by Bai Hao and walked towards the extremely lively hall over there.
There were some painters surrounding the door. They seemed to have just painted a very satisfying work. The long cuffs were full of traces of black ink. In addition, there were some family members who obviously did not belong to the rich family of the painter, who were also discussing the paintings inside eagerly and excitedly.
"This is... the Autumn Curtain Painting Banquet?" Dongfang Shiming had never heard of it, but he could make a guess about the scene in front of him.
Bai Hao knows more than him in this regard. She poked her fleshy cheeks with her fingers and tilted her head as she recalled her previous impression: "You can say that, but that's not actually the case. Now it's just the earliest selection for the Autumn Curtain Painting Banquet... right?"
"Selection?" Dongfang Shiming looked puzzled while following Bai Hao's footsteps.
They had already approached the place surrounded by people. At this time, someone heard Dongfang Shiming's confusion and leaned over with a sneer.
"Are you also here to visit the art exhibition?" The man looked like he was a painter. He was wearing a simple jacket, but his eyes were piercing, and he should be very confident in his profession.
Bai Hao immediately turned her face away, with a curious and malicious smile on her face: "Yes, we have been wandering here for a long time, and we don't even know where to start."
The corners of Dongfang Shiming's eyes wrinkled, but he still didn't say anything and added a similar smile.
The two people who had been running around for many days were covered in dust. The painter saw this and immediately crossed his arms proudly: "Ah ha, you are lucky to be the first to meet me."
"Oh? Why is this?" Dongfang Shiming couldn't help but laugh secretly, and asked Bai Hao pretending to be pious.
The painter stretched out his thumb, wiped his chin fiercely, and then pointed to his heart: "That's because I will be the first in this selection, which is the so-called championship seed!"
"Ah?" Both of them couldn't help feeling ashamed of their full confidence. Bai Hao suppressed a smile and bowed, "Hey, we two are so lucky to meet such a big shot like you!"
Upon hearing the praise, the painter was floating in the clouds, as if he was arrogant, and closed his eyes proudly: "To be honest, based on my ability, I was not willing to participate in these tacky competitions. But it is said that the winner this time can With the unique gift from the head of the Bai family, I reluctantly came to compete because I had my heart set on it."
