"King Lear" is one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, the story tells the story of the elderly king King Lear, after the abdication, the eldest daughter and the second daughter were driven into the wilderness, and became the third daughter of the Queen of France to lead the army to save her father, but was killed, and King Lear died sadly beside her.

Under the table lamp, Bai Xiaoting slowly turned a page, reading with relish, the light of the table lamp shines on her fair face is very charming, people say that the beauty under the lamp is not beautiful and beautiful, but it is not the case in Bai Xiaoting, the big beauty, she is beautiful enough, in addition to the focused and serious reading demeanor under the lamp, and because of the development of the plot, when the child pursed her lips and smiled, Shi Er was angry and annoyed, adding to the artistic conception, hazy, not like the color of the mortal world.

When Bai Xiaoting was looking at the old king Lear and ran into the wilderness in the storm in anger, the door of the study opened, and a middle-aged man walked in from outside the door, wearing black and gray trousers, a white clean shirt, and a brown leather strap connecting the trousers and shoulders, this middle-aged man was none other than Bai Xiaoting's father, Bai Zhisong.

At this time, Bai Xiaoting was already fascinated, but she didn't realize that Bai Zhisong had come in.

Bai Zhisong looked at his beautiful and quiet daughter, and his face should have been happy, but he was displeased and then frowned, "cough" He coughed and looked away.

Bai Xiaoting realized that someone had already come in, and it was her serious father, so she hurriedly put down the book, brushed her hair, pinned her sideburns behind her ears, and stood up embarrassedly.

"Father, you're here, I'm so fascinated that I didn't notice you coming in," Bai Xiaoting said curtly.

"Hmm" Bai Zhisong snorted, ignored her, looked at the sofa opposite him, walked over, and sat down.

Bai Xiaoting lowered her head and glanced at it, bit her lip, and said, "Father, do you have something to do with Xiaoting?" ”

"Hmm" Bai Zhisong hummed again, took out the pipe from the pocket of his clothes, took out a metal box, took out a little foam from it, put it in the pipe, pressed it, and put it on the guest table, then looked at Bai Xiaoting: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to come and see you, sit down, Ting'er." ”

Bai Xiaoting saw that Bai Zhisong was not angry, smiled and agreed, and sat down, she looked at Bai Zhisong curiously and didn't know what happened to him today, feeling weird.

Bai Zhisong lowered his head and picked up the pipe, took out another match, took out a stick and slashed at the phosphorus bar, the match was burned, he stared at the flame, his deep eyes seemed to be thinking about something, and soon he didn't look at it, moved it to the pipe and lit the foam on it, put it in his mouth, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

"Alas" Bai Zhisong sighed and slowly opened his eyes: "Xiao Rui of the Xiao family came a few days ago, you know this, he came to send his sister Xiao Min's invitation, and he asked about you, I hid that you went out, so he left in a daze." Bai Zhisong paused, took a puff of his cigarette, and slowly exhaled it.

"Do you know who Xiao Min is going to marry?" Bai Zhisong asked.

Bai Xiaoting shook her head: "My father only said that she was going to marry that day, but he didn't say who Sister Xiao Min was going to marry, and my daughter thought that Sister Xiao's talent should be married to a talented person."

"Humph! It's really a talented person, and he's still a vice principal, just in your school, Watanabe Ichiro, a Japanese! Bai Zhisong said dissatisfiedly.

"Ahh Bai Xiaoting was surprised, and then asked, "Is this true?" How could Sister Xiao be so arrogant, how could it be......"

"Why not, it's not that she is afraid that the Xiao family will collapse, so she asked her to marry like this, now their Xiao family can't collapse, and it is even more prosperous to have a Japanese as a son-in-law, hey, Xiao Detian, you Bai admire someone, your daughter can be taken out and given away, and she is also Japanese" Bai Zhisong shook his head and said.

Bai Xiaoting persuaded: "Father, don't be too angry, this world is like this now, how many people still know what shame is."

Bai Xiaoting stood up, walked to Bai Zhisong's side and sat down: "Besides, I think Uncle Xiao and his family may be forced to be helpless."

"Hey, my father is old, I wanted to sell the property and go to the countryside with you and your mother to live for a long time, but the countryside is not as good as the provincial city, it's chaotic, the Xiao family will be more powerful in the future, and Xiao Rui is so obsessed with you......" Bai Zhisong's brows furrowed even tighter, he put his pipe on the table, and turned his head to look at Bai Xiaoting.

"Ting'er, you know the reason why your father doesn't want you to have a relationship with Xiao Rui, and now you can't, I've thought about it for a long time, you better go to Peking and go to your uncle's house as soon as possible."

Bai Xiaoting panicked: "Father, didn't you say that it will be until the end of August?" Besides, the Bac Ninh Railway has long been impassable, and now going to Beiping is generally a companion to go there. ”

"No, I'm going to let you take a boat and take the waterway so it's safer, I've already arranged it," Bai Zhisong said.

Bai Xiaoting stopped talking, she was really in love with her mother and father, let her go to a strange environment, she seemed uneasy and hesitant, she was only seventeen years old after all, and she had never stayed at home, the most important thing is that she didn't know what year and month she would have to see her parents again after leaving home this time.

Bai Zhisong also didn't want his baby daughter to leave him, but he definitely couldn't stand his daughter to be a traitor's daughter-in-law.

So he could only let Bai Xiaoting go to his uncle's house to avoid it, I don't know when we will be able to meet, his eyes are a little moist, but he still can't help it.

Bai Zhisong finally patted the back of Bai Xiaoting's hand: "Don't resent your father, your father doesn't want to" After speaking, he stood up and walked out of the study slowly, and the door was closed.

Bai Xiaoting bit her lip and tears flowed down her eyes, she thought: "I want to spend more time with my mother, I still have to cook some delicious food for her, and my father wants to give him a brand new pipe, there are still many things to do"

Bai Xiaoting suddenly thought of another person, a person who had taken root in her heart: "And should I tell him, can we meet again when Beiping is so big?" ”

She then stood up, looking out the window that it was already dark at night, and the rain had begun to fall, dripping, accompanied by the sound of the wind, knocking on the window, at this time Bai Xiaoting's mood was completely different, the rainy night was beautiful and romantic, and at this time it brought her uncertainty, just like her journey was as confused......

At this time, Wang Mingzhi was also looking at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier: "How can I say that this rain will fall, sister Xiu'er, it seems that you can't go back for the time being, I don't have an umbrella here, but it's okay, I'll ask Tang Yi to get it in a while."
