No matter what the result is, Qiu Datong's chess is useless.

Feng Shujia was relieved.

However, it was only a few days after she let go of this heart that she hung up again.

After a torrential rain in June, the blazing sun hung again in the sky without a single wind.

The heat and humidity make people breathless.

Feng Shujia was sorting out the account books of Hibiscus in the water pavilion of Zhihe Courtyard, only to hear Lamei asking to see her outside.

"Does Mother have anything to order, Aunt Lamei?" Feng Shujia asked, closing the account book, looking up and smiling.

Lamei entered the pavilion, stepped forward and saluted back: "It's the Hou Ye who is about to come back from the border pass! The letter was sent from the border pass earlier, counting the days, the Hou Ye should have already set off at this time, maybe he is almost half the way! Madame specially instructed to tell the eldest girl the good news!"

Feng Shujia once agreed with the Bai family in the winter of last year, saying that they would take a good look at each other after the meeting and prepare to talk about the matter of marriage.

Now that Feng Yi happened to be back, Bai was euphemistically reminding Feng Shujia that it was time to prepare for his family affairs earlier.

Feng Shujia was taken aback when she heard this, and stood up from her seat, looking flustered and anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?"

There was no joy or anticipation of seeing my long-lost father.

Lamei was stunned for a moment, paused, and then came back to her senses, and replied with a smile: "Of course it's true! The letter from the Hou Ye is now being received by Madame! If the eldest girl is so surprised that she can't believe it, she can go to the Summer Palace together for a while and read the letter with her own eyes!"

Lamei was joking and said such a sentence casually, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Feng Shujia bypassing the bookcase, walking out without stopping, and said, "I'll go to the Summer Palace." ”

The smile on Lamei's face froze for a while, and she looked at Cai Wei, who was originally serving in the pavilion.

Cai Wei shook her head, also looking inexplicable.

The two looked at each other, but when they saw that Feng Shujia had already stepped out of the pavilion, they didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately raised their feet to chase after them.

Feng Shujia walked all the way to the Summer Palace, startling the Bai family, who was playing with Feng Zhi and Feng Shuyuan.

After asking why Feng Shujia came over in such a hurry, Bai couldn't help laughing and laughing, and said angrily: "Looking at your anxious and panicked look, will your mother still use this matter to deceive you?"

As he spoke, Bai Shi turned around and went to the inner room, took out Feng Yi's letter from the small box at the head of the bed, and handed it to Feng Shujia to read.

"Ah, see for yourself!" Bai said with a smile, "After your father sent the letter, he set off with his relatives on the same day." Counting the days, it's about half the way. If you can go faster, I'm afraid that in another three or five days, you will be able to see your father!"

Feng Shujia glanced at ten lines, quickly read the letterhead, and finally looked at the date and payment, unable to return to her senses for a long time.

"How is it, Mother didn't lie to you, did she?" said Bai Shi with a smile.

Feng Shujia took a deep breath, tried to squeeze out a normal smile, and said coquettishly: "Mother didn't lie to me!"

He laughed coquettishly: "However, it's not that I can't trust my mother, but when I heard that my father is about to return, I was so happy that I couldn't believe it." If you don't look at your father's letters, it's as if your heart is floating in the air with joy, and it always feels unreal!

"It's not that my mother doesn't know, the last time my father wrote to me that he would come back after the beginning of spring after the New Year, but it turned out to be delayed again and again, and it has been delayed until now.

"I'm not afraid that my father will be delayed by something and won't be able to make the trip, so I came to see the letter with my own eyes, and my heart is so stable!"

Bai Shi smiled from ear to ear, and debunked it sharply: "You just talk nonsense, I don't believe you anyway!"

"Let me ask you, did you remember our gambling contract and feel empty, so you came to read the letter so that you could confirm the news?"

In the latter sentence, Bai Shi was lying in Feng Shujia's ear and joked in a low voice.

Over the years, Feng Shujia has become more and more capable, in addition to taking care of the internal affairs of the Wu'an Hou Mansion, most of the Bai family has spent most of her time taking care of the children's diet and daily life, especially the two younger ones.

Feng Shujia is straightforward and frank, unlike many little women nowadays who are cowardly, even if they dare to make their own decisions about marriage.

Therefore, Bai gradually felt that sometimes this eldest daughter was not like her own child and needed to be taken care of by herself, but like her own friend, understanding and supporting each other, which was very rare.

Some words, the Bai family will also speak bluntly to Feng Shujia, such as her marriage.

Feng Shujia pretended to be shy, hung her head and twisted her handkerchief, quickly glanced at Lamei and the others, and muttered in a low voice: "Mother knows how to make fun of people......"

Although he did not admit it directly, he did not deny it.

Bai Shi was self-righteous, smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything more.

After all, there are other people in the house, Feng Shujia, a girl who has not left the cabinet, will inevitably be embarrassed when she talks about her marriage in public.

Even if Feng Shujia is frank and comfortable, she still has to take care of her daughter's reputation as a quiet and virtuous woman!

"Now that my father is coming back, it's time to get everything ready. I don't take any other credit from my mother, but I now run a hibiscus dress, and as the young owner of the first embroidery house in Beijing, I have to say something, right?"

Feng Shujia said with a smile, "I'll go to the shop in a while, and let the best embroiderers make a few pieces of summer clothes and autumn shirts according to my father's size, and leave them for washing and changing when my father comes back."

"It's that winter cotton coat, prepare two pieces in advance, it's not much. ”

It's about Furong Dress, these things, the Bai family has always trusted Feng Shujia, and when she heard this, she smiled and nodded: "That's very good." When your father comes back, he learns that you have prepared a change of clothes for him for three seasons so considerately and sensibly, I am afraid that I will be so happy that I don't know what to do!"

Feng Shujia raised her eyebrows proudly, got up to say goodbye to the Bai family, touched Feng Zhi and Feng Shuyuan's little heads, and said "Listen to your mother's words carefully, don't let her be annoyed", and went out.

Cai Wei is naturally following and serving.

Lamei looked up at Feng Shujia's hurried steps, her brows furrowed slightly.

She always felt that Feng Shujia's behavior when she heard the news of Feng Yi's imminent return in the Water Pavilion was not quite like the reaction of a daughter who was eager for her father to return home and reunite.

Perhaps, she was thinking too much.

Lamei thought of the whispers of Fang Cai Bai and Feng Shujia that only the two of them could hear, and silently persuaded herself in her heart to put the matter away.

Besides, Feng Shujia got into the carriage and went straight to the Qingfeng Teahouse on Caixia Street.

She had to stop this before Feng Yi arrived in the capital!
