When Bai Hao heard that it was about her father, she couldn't help but want to laugh. Dad's gift is only the same one hundred taels of silver every year. This guy is really shameless, and he can talk about winning a bonus so fresh and refined.
"Haha, of course, you can't understand it anyway." The painter was quite pleased with himself.
"Haha, of course, but they are the daughter and son-in-law of the head of the Bai family."
The person coming from behind imitated this person's tone so vividly that he was startled. Bai Hao and Dongfang Shiming looked up and saw another painter walking slowly.
"Ah, you are..." The original painter quickly turned around to look, "Well, you are from Dong Yu... your name is Lin Ziying!"
Dongfang Shiming and Bai Hao looked over at the same time. I saw the person holding two walnuts. He was not too old, but he had a very mature look.
The painter named Lin Ziying came out of the surrounding crowd and passed the original painter. He first bowed slightly towards Bai Hao and the other two to show respect.
"Lin Ziying... are you kidding me..." The original painter was already dripping with sweat, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he forced out an ugly smile, "He, they..."
"Well, it's boring." Bai Hao tugged on Dongfang Shiming's sleeve a little disappointed.
Seeing such a situation, the painter almost went dark. Lin Ziying smiled and humbly introduced herself to her family: "I am honored to see you two here."
"You know the Bai family very well." Dongfang Shiming looked at him with interest.
Lin Ziying waved her hand: "Haha, in front of you two, I don't talk in circles. It was only when the Autumn Curtain Painting Banquet announced this year's selection schedule that I began to understand the Bai family as the sponsor. I came to compete, and one of them is Fame is a benefit."
Dongfang Shiming was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Human nature is not difficult to understand. But I wonder if your true talent and knowledge are enough for you to realize such an ideal?"
Lin Ziying smiled: "This matter is not easy for me to judge. But I am not an opportunistic person. Please wait and see."
"Confidence is the most important thing!" Bai Hao felt good about this painter named Lin Ziying and interjected.
There were another burst of exclamations in the building over there. Several people chatting were also attracted to that side and walked slowly there together.
"There must be another very powerful painter taking action." Bai Hao expectedly pulled Dongfang Shiming through the crowd, barely got through the threshold, and came to the house.
But there were more people in the room, and they were all crowded around the painting table in the center. Dongfang Shiming and the two stopped behind, and it was very difficult to get closer.
Bai Hao jumped several times in vain, but still couldn't see what was inside. Everyone around her was taller than her, and she seemed to be surrounded by high walls.
Dongfang Shiming saw her hard work. A suggestion from the side: "Would you like to use your identity as the Bai family for convenience?"
Bai Hao jumped several times, but in the end he saw nothing. She panted, her chest heaved up and down, and she shook her head unconvinced: "No, I don't want it."
The people around were sighing again. Bai Hao felt even more itchy, but she was running around in circles, but there was nothing she could do.
Dongfang Shiming looked at the little head dangling in front of him and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"There's no way..." He hesitated for a moment, then slowly bent down, "Well, that's good."
"Eh...?!"
Bai Hao exclaimed softly, and then the sight in front of her eyes slowly rose. Dongfang Shiming put his arms around Bai Hao's lower abdomen and lifted her up high.
Bai Hao's ears felt slightly warm, and her face quietly turned red. But as soon as she got past the obstruction of her sight, she immediately discovered that the person in the center of the painting table who was concentrating on painting turned out to be - eldest brother!
"Ah, big brother!" Bai Hao immediately waved his hands in the air in surprise and shouted happily.
In the center of the crowd was a man wearing loose silk clothes. Even in the middle of winter, his clothes are still visibly thin, but they are uninhibited and unrestrained.
He was concentrating on painting with ink just now. Every stroke is like a god coming, the wonderful strokes are shining, and the dragons and snakes are flying. The emotionless cold eyes quickly melted away after Bai Hao's friendly shout, and then he slowly turned his head.
The other people also turned their heads and looked at Bai Hao who was held very high. Bai Hao ignored the sight of others and waved happily to her elder brother: "Brother, I'm back!"
The eldest son of the Bai family, Bai Yikao, slowly smiled at his sister in front of everyone who had never seen him express anything other than a blank expression.
The crowd of onlookers included many female relatives from other wealthy families and some female painters. Most of the people who came here to watch the games and appreciate the paintings actually heard about the handsome and handsome young master of the Bai family, and wanted to feast their eyes on it.
Ever since Bai Yikao entered the painting scene just now, he has never shown any expression, just like an iceberg beauty. The girls were intoxicated with his cold and handsome face for a long time, but found that he smiled so sincerely in front of other girls, and they couldn't help but feel jealous.
None of this has anything to do with Artemisia annua. I am very happy to see my eldest brother come out of his house.
In her memory, her eldest brother's smile was not a rare thing. But in the past few years, the relationship between dad and eldest brother became more and more tense because of the family business. In the end, the eldest brother chose to shut himself in the house all day, and had less and less time to come out.
Her father and eldest brother were the ones she cared about the most. Seeing them like this made her feel uncomfortable and had no other choice.
Dongfang Shiming heard Bai Hao mention these things on the road, so he also had an impression. When he thought about it now, could it be that the head of the Bai family had hosted the Autumn Curtain Painting Banquet in recent years and wanted to ease the relationship with his son?
Both men's thoughts lasted only a short time. Bai Yikao actually put down his unfinished painting brush, turned around, pushed away the crowd, and walked slowly towards the two of them.
Dongfang Shiming then put down the white wormwood. The crowd automatically retreated to both sides, leaving only three people standing in the middle.
"Little sister, big brother welcomes you back." He tightened his thin clothes and looked out the door, "Come on, let's go out and chat for a while."
As he spoke, his eyes met Dongfang Shiming's eyes casually. Neither of them said anything, they turned around and walked out together.
"Hey... Mr. Bai, your painting..." someone reminded regretfully from behind.
Bai Yikao didn't even look back: "It's okay. If Mr. Zheng comes later, this painting will be my answer sheet."
Then, he seemed not to begrudge his unfinished work and strode out. His sleeves were instantly blown up by the wind outside, and the purple ribbon flew back.
