The reason why Fan Mansion is hard to find is not that Fan Mansion is remote, but most of Fan Mansion, even the scattered small courtyards around Fan Mansion, were used to build Lujiao Academy.

Fan Mansion and Academy are mixed together and difficult to distinguish.

So the real "General Fan Mansion" has long gone, leaving only a remote courtyard in the corner of Lujiao Academy, with about a dozen houses, which can barely be regarded as the shelter of the Fan family.

Now, a stranger has come to this small courtyard.

She is yesterday's courtesan and today's teacher, Du Yinyun.

Ordinary people can't tell where Fan Mansion is, but for Du Yinyun, it is not difficult.

When she was a child, her father Du Lie often brought her here to walk around, and Fan Ziruo was of the same age and temperament as her. After a few visits, they became more and more familiar with each other. The two beautiful girls were considered a rare pair of sisters in the circle of Yinjing aristocrats at that time, who were equally matched in family background, appearance, and talent.

But now it is different.

Fan Yu, now Fan Changshu, decisively chose to retire when he was at the peak of his popularity. From then on, he put down his sword and picked up his brush, and even sold his property to build the academy. Although the academy was not well-known at the beginning, it gradually became famous and improved, and Fan Yu and the Fan family returned to the public's vision in Yinjing.

But this time, he returned with the name "Fan Changshu" and a scholarly family.

At that time, Du Lie still chose to stand on the side of the army.

Even at that time, the momentum of the Du family far exceeded that of the Fan family.

Later, prosperity must decline, and the Du family disappeared overnight, leaving only Du Yinyun, the only bloodline of the Du family.

And now, Lujiao Academy has become famous.

Among Yinjing, half of the wealthy and powerful people in their families will send their sons to Lujiao Academy to study.

For example, Li Jin, a talented man from the family of the Minister of Rites, and Huang Buren, a man from the family of the Minister of Punishments, are all "mainstays" and "tenacious cornerstones" in the academy.

Du Yinyun arrived at the Fan Mansion yesterday. According to the agreement with Uncle Fan, she had to teach a "music theory" class in the academy.

This was not Fan Changshu's original intention, but Du Yinyun insisted on asking.

It would take a lot of money to redeem the courtesan. 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 in decline now, the Fan family still regards Du Yinyun as a distinguished guest.

Not only did they send maids to serve her attentively, but they also allowed her to rest for a few days, and she didn't have to teach as soon as she arrived.

But for Du Yinyun, if she didn't teach, what else could she do?

All her family members have passed away, and the young master is not around. The beautiful flowers and plants that she used to love to look at now look nothing but red and green, so boring.

She leaned on the railing and sighed slightly.

Seeing the orchids in the flowers, she thought of the handkerchief embroidered with orchids and the absurd things that night.

Her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

She repeatedly warned herself: Du Yinyun, what's wrong with you now? Why do you always think about those bad things? The young master has lofty ambitions and will not like a girl who only cares about romance!

Having said that, Sister Du still took out the handkerchief she used that night.

This handkerchief was originally embroidered by her, and then given to the young master as a gift. But at that time, she never thought that the handkerchief could be used in this way, and now, it was returned to her by the young master.

The jade hand gently stroked the handkerchief.

Du Yinyun's heart was full of mixed feelings.

This life is interesting. It always lifts you up high, then drops you heavily, and then gives you treasures from the mud pit, letting you rekindle hope...

Because the young master said he wanted to take it back. This handkerchief has been washed clean by Du Yinyun, and there is no trace of the story. She even soaked the beautiful and soft petals in water and wiped it repeatedly until it was fragrant.

Even so, she was still embarrassed to return it to He Yunxiao.

After all, this handkerchief has been through too much.

But the words of the young master cannot be disobeyed by her... Even if she is unwilling or shy, as long as the young master says it, she has to...

"Yinyun."

A quiet female voice called back Sister Du's chaotic thoughts.

The owner of this voice, like this voice, is a gentle and quiet girl.

What caught her eye was her clean white clothes. The upper body is a white long-sleeved shorts worn on the outermost side, and inside is a white silk dress that is continuous and soft from top to bottom. The overall dress is mainly white, supplemented by blue and blue as seams and patterns.

Then look up. The most eye-catching thing is the smooth hair like black silk, which is very different from the white clothes. The hair is simple, but it is far more than that. On the simple and beautiful bun on the head, there is also a white jade hairpin of "white in black", which echoes the elegant white clothes on her body.

In addition to this overall elegant and pure white, her entire face is also very suitable for her temperament.

Her face is more like an oval face, but her facial features are very soft, especially her big and bright almond eyes, which make this quiet beauty the focus of the whole audience even if she doesn't say a word.

Fan Ziruo came to her good sister Du Yinyun with an open book in her hand.

"Yinyun, are you used to living in the Fan Mansion?"

Du Yinyun put the handkerchief in her arms and stretched out her hand to hold her sister's arm, just like when they were children.

"I'm not used to it. My sister is different from when she was a child."

Fan Ziruo asked in confusion: "What's different?"

"My sister has grown up."

Fan Ziruo said: "Time passes, and children naturally have to grow up."

Du Yinyun nodded and said, "Yeah. When I hold my sister's arm, sometimes I squeeze her arm."

Fan Ziruo finally realized what her good sister was talking about. It turned out that Du Yinyun's "growing up" did not refer to age.

She said angrily, "If I squeeze you, let go. You are not allowed to hug me anymore."

Du Yinyun knew Fan Ziruo's character best. Her sister liked quietness the most and was afraid of trouble the most. Although she said "you are not allowed to hug", if you are playing tricks and insist on hugging, she will have no way to deal with you.

So, Du Yinyun was not afraid of Fan Ziruo's threat at all.

She said, "Sister is stingy, I want to hug you."

As she said that, she used force in her hands to hug Fan Ziruo's arm tightly.

Fan Ziruo's slender arm was severely oppressed for a while.

This time, it was Fan Ziruo's turn to tease Du Yinyun.

"Yinyun, you are not young anymore, it's time to get married, right?"

It can only be said that Fan Ziruo is worthy of being the most talented woman in Yinjing. This time, "You are not young anymore" is a double entendre, which is wonderful.

Even though Du Yinyun has a cold temperament and Fan Ziruo is quiet and leisurely, they are both girls of eighteen or nineteen years old. No matter what, they will have the cuteness and mischievousness of this age. In particular, the two have a very good relationship and never have any taboos when talking.

These interesting words are only used to tease the best friends, and outsiders will definitely not have such a blessing.

When they heard someone coming, the two stopped playing.

The maid said, "Miss, Miss Du, someone is here. It's a brother and sister, surnamed Chu."

Fan Ziruo frowned and said, "Surname Chu?"

Du Yinyun said, "Most likely Chu Fan, Mr. Chu."

Fan Ziruo's first reaction was not who Chu Fan was, but "A Cut Plum?"

Du Yinyun nodded and said, "The A Cut Plum was written by Chu Fan's sister, Chu Xiaoxiao."

Fan Ziruo relaxed his brows, showing a happy expression, and said, "Take me to see it quickly."
