In the past few days since returning to the capital, Dong Jiafu has not left the gate for fear of meeting someone she shouldn't meet.

Feng Jiyuan came over that day and invited the three brothers and sisters to sit in his house.

Xu Yiwan said softly: "Go ahead, you young people should go out more often and don't stay bored at home all the time."

Dong Jialin responded positively and stood up impatiently, "Brother, Afu, let's go."

Dong Jiabao stood up immediately after thinking about it. Jiyuan lived alone outside, so he wanted to go over and take a look.

Seeing that her eldest brother, who wanted to break one day into two, also agreed, Dong Jiafu could not refuse, "Then we will go warm Huaiyun's house."

Feng Jiyuan smiled happily, "It's great that you can go."

Xu Yiwan was worried that Feng Jiyuan's supplies were not complete enough, so before they left, she packed some food for them and took them with them.

Because Feng Jiyuan came to prepare for next year's examination, his father specially asked someone to choose a house for him in a quiet environment away from the busy city.

But the place wasn't too remote, and they arrived in less than three-quarters of an hour by car.

"Come in quickly." Feng Jiyuan opened the door and greeted warmly.

The three of them went in front and back.

"The house is not big, and it is incomparable to where you live now, but now that I am here alone, it is quite spacious." Feng Jiyuan said as he led them inside.

"This is already very good," Dong Jialin looked around, "it's not much smaller than our old house in Yangzhou."

Feng Jiyuan turned around and told Wu Tong, "Tell the kitchen to cook more dishes for lunch."

"Yes, young master." Wu Tong walked toward the east.

Afterwards, Feng Jiyuan led them to look around, and then invited them to go into the house.

take a seat.

He excitedly took out the chessboard and said, "It's been a long time since I played chess with my eldest brother. How about we play a game?"

"Okay." Dong Jiabao rarely relaxed and was also very interested.

The two sat down on the couch, and Dong Jialin took Dong Jiafu to the side to watch the battle.

Dong Jiafu knew a little bit, and saw that both of them made moves very quickly at the beginning, but gradually slowed down. The black and white pieces on the chessboard are inseparable.

After about an hour of fussing, the winner was decided. Dong Jiabao won.

Feng Jiyuan cupped his hands and said: "Brother is very skilled in chess, but I still can't win after so many years."

"It's just a narrow victory. You're doing well too." Dong Jiabao still looked calm and collected the chess pieces slowly.

Feng Jiyuan turned to look at Dong Jiafu, "Afu, do you want to play a game with me?"

"Me?" Dong Jiafu waved her hands quickly, "I can't..."

"Afu also loved playing chess before," Feng Jiyuan seemed a little regretful, but soon said warmly, "It doesn't matter, as long as Afu likes it, I can teach you from scratch."

Dong Jiafu smiled awkwardly. She knew that she was not the material at all, but she thought of another way to play.

"I know an interesting way to play, do you want to know about it?"

"Okay, Afu, tell me, what kind of gameplay is it?" Feng Jiyuan looked at her with a smile.

Dong Jiafu picked up the chess pieces and demonstrated on the chessboard, "It's very simple. Each side holds chess pieces of the same color. The first one to form a five-piece sequence wins."

"So simple?" Dong Jialin couldn't believe it.

Dong Jiafu nodded, "The rules are simple, but it takes some effort to win."

"It does sound interesting," Feng Jiyuan said, "Afu, we

How about playing a game? "

"Yes you can."

Dong Jiabao stood up and Dong Jiafu sat down instead.

Dong Jiafu went first with the black piece, and Feng Jiyuan followed with the white piece.

Dong Jiafu won the first game, but then Feng Jiyuan found a way to make her lose two games in a row.

"This is fun. Ah Fu, my second brother will play two games with you." Dong Jialin watched with itch.

"Why don't the second brother ask the eldest brother to join you?" Dong Jiafu asked.

Dong Jialin looked at Dong Jiabai who was sitting next to him, shook his head and said, "Brother, let's forget it. I'm just looking for abuse when I play chess with him."

"Oh, what second brother means is that you can win if you follow me?"

Dong Jialin chuckled, "At least there is a possibility of winning."

Feng Jiyuan smiled and made room, watching them from the side.

After four rounds were played soon, both of them had their own wins and losses.

Dong Jialin still had more to say, "This way of playing is really interesting. Ah Fu, is there a name for this way of playing?"

"Yes, it's called backgammon." Dong Jiafu replied.

"How did Afu know this way of playing?" Feng Jiyuan asked curiously.

Dong Jiafu expected that someone would ask, so she found an excuse, "It was taught to me by a patient when I was in Linqing County."

"So that's it," Dong Jiabao believed her words deeply, "This kind of gameplay is simple and easy to learn, and it is indeed suitable for ordinary people to kill time in their free time."

At this time Wu Tong came in and said, "Sir, lunch is ready."

Unconsciously it was already noon, Feng Jiyuan stood up from the round stool, "Let's go eat first."

"When you tell me, I'm really hungry." Dong Jialin got down from the couch.

The four of them talked for a while after dinner, and finally Dong Jiabao asked to leave.

Feng Jiyuan sent them out and sighed: "I really envy you guys for having brothers."

Sisters, it’s so fun to be together. Unlike me, living here alone is very lonely. "

Dong Jialin raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "We are all brothers. I will come here often in the future. I'm afraid you will find me annoying again."

"No, you can come at any time. It's not too late for me to be happy." When Feng Jiyuan said this, his eyes fell on Dong Jiafu.

The three of them got into the carriage and headed back.

Dong Jialin suddenly stopped the carriage halfway and said to Dong Jiafu: "Afu, go somewhere with your second brother."

"Where to go?" Dong Jiafu wondered.

"You'll know when you go," Dong Jialin turned to ask Dong Jiabao, "Brother, do you want to go with us?"

"You guys go, it's not far from home, I'll go back first." Dong Jiabao said, getting up and getting out of the car.

"Brother, walk slowly." Dong Jialin didn't feel embarrassed at all.

What Dong Jiafu didn't expect was that Dong Jialin would take her to a bookstore.

"Why did second brother bring me here? Do you want to buy books?"

Dong Jialin whispered: "I heard that this bookstore is going to change hands, and I want to take it over. Don't you know how to write storybooks? I think it is better for us to do it ourselves instead of letting others earn the money."

"Second brother is planning to do business?"

"I just have this idea. I have never done business before, and I don't know if it can be successful." The light in Dong Jialin's eyes dimmed. "I also want to find something to do so that I can contribute to our family."

When Dong Jiafu came in, she noticed that there were many people coming and going on this street, and there were also many people buying books at the bookstore. At this moment, there were only two customers.

"I support the second brother."

"Really? Do you think I can do it?" Dong Jialin said excitedly.

"Of course, second brother is so smart

Ming, it can be done. "Dong Jiafu encouraged.

"Great, then I'll tell my parents when I get back."

The two of them came out of the bookstore, talking and laughing, and walked towards the carriage parked on the side of the road.

Not far away on the opposite side, Cui Qiyan passed by on horseback. With a casual glance, he saw a pale pink figure that made his pupils shrink. He quickly jumped off the horse and ran towards the man, his heart beating faster.

But when he rushed through the crowd, he couldn't find the figure that was deeply rooted in his mind.

Cui Qiyan stood there and smiled mockingly to himself. What was he dreaming about? How could Yunling appear in the capital?
