"Chapter 7: The Bai Family"

The warmth of having dinner with Bai Rou still made Bai Feng quite enjoyable, and at the dinner table, Bai Feng used one small joke after another he had learned to make Bai Rou giggle, and the laughter like silver bells echoed in Bai Feng's room.

A dinner that should have been eaten in twenty minutes was eaten by Bai Feng and Bai Rou for more than an hour, and after the servant cleaned up all the food on the table, Bai Feng noticed that it was already pitch black outside the door.

Looking at Bai Rou, who was still unsatisfied, Bai Feng couldn't help but smile and quipped:

"Little girl, it's dark like this, shouldn't you go back to your grandfather's place to sleep, or when your grandfather comes to the door, maybe even I will be scolded!"

Bai Feng's ridicule couldn't cure Bai Rou, she directly raised her proud little head and retorted:

"I'm not a little girl! It's still early, my brother must still be performing swordsmanship in the martial arts, and my grandfather must not have returned to the courtyard; besides, you are the son of an uncle, how can my grandfather scold you?"

Hearing Bai Rou say this, Bai Feng remembered a very important thing, that is, who are the people in this Bai family, and what kind of relationship exists between them; this is the key to Bai Feng's survival in this Bai family in the future, Bai Rou in front of him must be clear about these things, Bai Feng can't miss the opportunity to learn about these things here in Bai Rou!

Bai Feng has never been accustomed to doing some things in a vain and unjust manner, and he will not talk around the bush about Bai Rou, an innocent and romantic little beauty; after thinking of this question, Bai Feng slightly restrained the smile on his face, and asked Bai Rou with a little depression:

"Little girl, I really don't know anything about the Bai family now, I can't even remember you, let alone other people;

I have to admit that Bai Feng's expression is still relatively in place, at least the slightly depressed and helpless words on his face successfully made Bai Rou's face flash a trace of distress, and then, Bai Rou nodded obediently, but first comforted Bai Feng:

"Brother Bai Feng, don't be too sad, if you can't remember it before, you can't remember it, maybe you will remember it in a few days, even if you can't remember it all the time, it doesn't matter, Rou'er will always accompany Brother Bai Feng." ”

Speaking of which, even with the familiarity between Bai Rou and Bai Feng, her face still involuntarily showed a slight flush, which made Bai Feng look a little stupid, and then Bai Rou began to tell everything about the Bai family:

"Our Bai family is the most powerful family in the empire in the southern region of the province of Llorente, the entire province of Llorente was snatched back from the barbarians by Grandpa Haotian when he was young;

Our Bai family is also very prosperous now, Grandpa Haotian, Grandpa Haowen and Grandpa Haowu are generally in the back mountain of the family to improve their strength;

However, Grandpa Haowen and Grandpa Haowu are still better than Grandpa Haotian, everyone in the family says so, as for how powerful they are, I don't know; Uncle Bai Mingcheng, Second Uncle Bai Mingming, Third Uncle Bai Mingxing, and Aunt Bai Anjun are all children of Grandpa Haotian.

Then the uncle's three children are Brother Bai Sa, Brother Bai Feng, and Sister Bai Han, the two children of the second uncle are Brother Bai Kai and Brother Bai Le, and the two children of the third uncle are Brother Bai Shan and Sister Bai Ling'er.

My brother Bai Kai and I also grew up in the Bai family, and the three uncles were also very good to me and my brother; even when Bai Shan bullied my brother, the third uncle would punish Bai Shan, and Grandpa Haotian also beat Bai Shan with his own hands for this, and then Bai Shan didn't dare to bully my brother. ”

Well, the little girl's narrative will always be mixed with countless of her personal emotions, such as Bai Feng's cousin of Bai Mountain, who will become vexatious in the mouth of the little girl; however, these are not the focus of Bai Feng's attention, after Bai Feng listened to Bai Rou's imperfect story, he directly asked in confusion:

"Little girl, why did you only talk about my grandfather's son and grandson, what about the sons and grandsons of Grandpa Haowen and Grandpa Haowu, as well as Aunt Bai Anyun's children, and the female elders in the family, why didn't you say it?"

Bai Feng's question was asked very casually, but Bai Rou listened to it in her ears as if it was like thunder in her ears, she quickly covered Bai Feng's mouth, and after carefully looking around, she said softly to Bai Feng:

"Brother Bai Feng, you can't mention this in the Bai Mansion, if Grandpa Haowen and Grandpa Haowu hear it, then you will have to peel off your skin;

Bai Rou's reaction was beyond Bai Feng's expectations, but Bai Rou, who pounced on her mouth to cover her mouth, brought a natural and elegant fragrance; looking at Bai Rou who was close to her again, and her soft little hands on her lips, Bai Feng was also a little drunk.

This time, Bai Rouke didn't care about Bai Feng's small movements, she put down her hand covering Bai Feng, and quietly ran to the door to look left and right, and after making sure that there was no one outside the room, she returned to the room and said to Bai Feng with a solemn face:

"Brother Bai Feng, since you don't remember it anymore, then I'll tell you quietly, you can't forget it anymore!"

Looking at a serious little girl, Bai Feng felt funny, is there any taboo in this Bai family that can't be mentioned? Even a little girl like Bai Rou is so jealous of the affairs of the Bai family's daughters, as for being so serious?

Bai Feng didn't know anything about the Bai family, so he naturally felt uncomfortable with Bai Rou's violent reaction, and seeing the little girl's immature face full of forced solemnity, he still held back his smile and motioned for Bai Rou to continue.

With Bai Rou's little bit of description, Bai Feng gradually understood the blood and tears hidden behind the prosperity of the Bai family; Bai Haowen and Bai Haowu were not childless, but their sons and grandsons all died in a disaster ten years ago.

In the disaster that the Bai family was almost wiped out, Bai Haowen and Bai Haowu lost all their sons and grandchildren, Bai Mingcheng's three brothers also lost their wives, and even Bai Anyun's husband and children were not spared; Bai Anjun became the only one of all the adult female dependents of the Bai family who survived, and this matter also became a taboo in the Bai Mansion that could not be mentioned!
