The reason why Fan's residence is hard to find is not that Fan's residence is remote, but that most of Fan's residence, even the scattered small courtyards around Fan's residence, are used to build the Antler Academy.
The Fan Mansion and the Academy were confused and it was difficult to tell them apart.
As a result, the real "General Fan's Mansion" has long since disappeared, leaving only a small remote courtyard in the corner of Lujiao Academy, with about a dozen houses, barely counted as the residence of the Fan family.
Now, in this small courtyard, it is rare for a stranger to come.
She is yesterday's oiran, today's wife, Du Yinyun.
Ordinary people can't tell where the Fan Mansion is, but for Du Yinyun, it's not difficult.
When she was young, her father, Du Lie, often took her here for a walk, and Fan Ziruo was about the same age as her, with similar temperaments, and they became more and more familiar with each other after coming and going. The two beautiful girls were considered to be a rare pair of sisters in Yin Jing's noble clan at that time, who were evenly divided in terms of family background, appearance, and talent.
Only now it is different.
The former Fan Yu and the current Fan Changshu resolutely chose to retire when he was in the limelight. From then on, he put down his sword, picked up a brush, and even sold his property to build an academy. Although the Academy's reputation was not obvious at the beginning, but later, it gradually became famous and improved, and Fan Yu and Fan's family returned to Yin Jing's public view.
But this time, he came back under the name of "Fan Changshu" and a scholarly family.
Back then, Du Lie still chose to stand in the army.
Even at that time, the Du family's momentum far surpassed that of the Fan family.
Later, the prosperity must decline, and the Du family disappeared overnight, leaving only Du Yinyun, the only blood of the Du family.
Now, the Antler Academy has gained a great reputation.
Among Yin Jing, half of the prominent people with money and power in their families would send their young masters to study in Lujiao Academy.
For example, Li Jin, a talented calligrapher of the Ministry of Rites, and Huang Buren, a calligrapher of the Ministry of Punishment, belonged to the "mainstay" and "tenacious cornerstone" of the academy.
Du Yinyun only arrived at Fan's Mansion yesterday. According to the agreement with Uncle Fan, she needs to teach the lesson of "Music Theory" in the academy.
This was not Fan Changshu's original intention, but Du Yinyun's insistence.
A lot of money is needed to redeem the oiran's body, and Du Yinyun didn't want to owe Uncle Fan such a big favor, so she had to do her best to help Uncle Fan as much as she could.
Even though the Du family is down and down now, the Fan family still regards Du Yinyun as a distinguished guest.
Not only did she send a maid to serve her thoughtfully, but she was also allowed to rest for a few days so that she could teach without having to come.
But for Du Yinyun, if he doesn't teach, what else can he do
The family members have all died, and the young master is not around. Those beautiful flowers and grasses that I used to love to look at now look like red and green, so boring.
She leaned against the railing and sighed slightly.
Seeing the orchids in the flowers, I think of the handkerchief embroidered with orchids, and the absurd things that night.
The cheeks couldn't help turning red.
She warned herself again and again: Du Yinyun, what's wrong with you now? Why do you keep thinking about those bad things? The son has lofty aspirations, but he won't like a girl who has no choice but to be romantic!
Having said that, Sister Du still took out the handkerchief she used that night.
She originally embroidered this handkerchief herself, and later gave it to the young master as a gift. It's just that at that time, it was far from expected that the handkerchief could be used in this way, but now, it was sent back to her by the young master.
The jade hand gently stroked the handkerchief.
Du Yinyun had mixed feelings in her heart.
This life is also interesting to say, it always lifts you high, then falls heavily, and then gives you treasures from the mud pit, so that you can rekindle hope...
Because the son said he wanted to take it back. This handkerchief has been washed clean by Du Yinyun, and there is no trace of the story left. I even soaked the beautiful soft petals in water and wiped them repeatedly until they were fragrant.
Even so, she was still embarrassed to return this thing to He Yunxiao.
After all, this handkerchief has been through too much.
But for her, the young master's words cannot be violated... No matter how unwilling she is, no matter how shy she is, as long as the young master says it, then she has no choice but to...
"Rhyme."
A quiet female voice recalled sister Du's chaotic thoughts.
The owner of this voice, like this voice, is a soft and quiet girl.
What caught my eye was her clean white clothes. The upper body is a white long-sleeved short jacket on the outermost side, and inside is a coherent and soft white silk dress from top to bottom. The clothes as a whole are mainly white, supplemented by blue-blue stitching and pattern embellishment.
Then look up. The most eye-catching thing is the hair that is as smooth as black silk, which is very different from the white clothes. The hair is simple, but it is far more than that. On top of the simple and beautiful hair on the head, there is a "white of black" white jade hairpin, which echoes the elegant white clothes on her body.
In addition to this overall elegant and pure white, her entire face also fits her temperament very well.
The shape of the face is more melon-shaped, but the facial features are very soft, especially the pair of almond eyes, which are large and energetic, making this quiet beauty the focus of the audience even without saying a word.
Fan Ziruo held the open book in his hand and came to the side of his good sister Du Yinyun.
"Yinyun, living in Fan Mansion, are you still used to it?"
Du Yinyun put the handkerchief into her bosom, and stretched out her hand to hold the arms of the little sisters, just like they did when they were young.
"Not used to it. My sister is not the same as when I was a child."
Fan Ziruo asked suspiciously, "What's the difference?"
"My sister has grown up."
Fan Ziruo said: "As time goes by, children will naturally grow up."
Du Yinyun nodded and said: "Yes. When holding my sister's arm, sometimes, I would squeeze into Yinyun's arm."
At this moment, Fan Ziruo finally realized what her good sister was talking about. It turns out that Du Yinyun's "growth" does not refer to her age.
Annoyed and blamed: "If you are squeezed, let go, and you are not allowed to hug you again."
Du Yinyun understood Fan Ziruo's character best. As an older sister, she liked quietness the most and was most afraid of trouble. Although she said "no hugging", but if she cheated and insisted on hugging, she would have nothing to do with you.
Therefore, Du Yinyun was not afraid of Fan Ziruo's threat at all.
She said: "My sister is stingy, so I want to hug her."
As he said that, he hugged Fan Ziruo's arm tightly with his hands.
For a moment, Fan Ziruo's slender arms were severely oppressed.
This time, it was Fan Ziruo's turn to tease Du Yinyun.
"Yin Yun, you are not young anymore, should you get married?"
It can only be said that Fan Ziruo deserves to be Yin Jing's number one talented woman. This time, "You are not too young" is a pun, which is wonderful.
Even though Du Yinyun had a cool temperament and Fan Ziruo was quiet and relaxed, they were both eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls, no matter what, they would still be cute and mischievous at this age. In particular, the relationship between the two is very good, and there is no taboo in speech.
These funny words are only used to ridicule the best friends, and outsiders are determined not to have such ear blessings.
Hearing someone approaching, the two stopped fighting.
The maid said: "Miss, Miss Du. Someone is here. It's brother and sister, surnamed Chu."
Fan Ziruo frowned and said, "Surname Chu?"
Du Yinyun said: "It's probably Chu Fan, Mr. Chu."
Fan Ziruo's first reaction was not who Chu Fan was, but: ""One Cut Plum"?"
Du Yinyun nodded and said, "The song "Yijianmei" was written by Chu Fan's younger sister, Chu Xiaoxiao."
Fan Ziruo stretched his brows with joy, and said, "Take me to see."
