The reason why it is said that Fan House is hard to find is not really that it is remote. but that most of Fan House, including even the scattered small courtyards around Fan House, is used for the construction of the Antlers Academy.

It is difficult to distinguish between the Fan House and the academy.

So much so that the real General Fans residence has long since disappeared, leaving only a small, isolated courtyard in the corner of the Antler Academy, with about a dozen houses, barely enough to serve as a shelter for the Fan family.

Now, in this courtyard, there is a rare visitor.

She is yesterdays flower girl and todays lady of the house, Du Yingyun.

Ordinary people cannot tell where Fans house is, but for Du Yinyun, it is not difficult.

When she was a child, her father, Du Lie, used to bring her here, and since Fan Ziruo and she were of similar age and temperament, they became more and more familiar. The two pretty girls were a rare pair of sisters in the Yinjing scholarly circle at the time, equal in terms of family, looks, and talent.

Only now it was different.

The former Fan Yu, now Fan Changshu, decisively chose to retire at the height of his career. From then on, he put down his sword and picked up a brush, even going so far as to sell his familys assets to build the academy. Although the academy was not well known at first, it slowly gained fame and prominence, and Fan Yu and the Fan family returned to the public eye in Yinjing.

This time, however, it was under the name Fan Changshu and the family name of the school.

Back then, Du Lie chose to stand in the army.

Even then, the Du family was far more powerful than the Fan family.

Later, the Du family disappeared overnight, leaving only Du Yinyun, the only bloodline of the Du family, to survive.

Now, the Antler Academy has become very famous.

In Yinjing, half of the prominent people with money and power in their families would send their children to study at the school.

For example, Li Jin, the talented son of the Minister of Rites family, and Huang Buren of the Minister of Penaltys family are among the mainstays and tenacious cornerstones of the academy.

Du Yinyun arrived at Fans residence yesterday, and, as agreed with her uncle, she was to teach the music theory class at the academy.

This was not Fan Changshus intention, but Du Yinyun had insisted on it.

It would take a lot of financial resources to redeem the body of the flower girl, and Du Yinyun did not want to owe Uncle Fan such a huge favor, so she had to do what she could to help him in any way she could.

Even though the Du family is now in dire straits, the Fan family still treats Du Yinyun as an honored guest.

They even allowed her to rest for a few days, so that she did not have to teach as soon as she arrived.

But for Du Yinyun, what else could she do if not teach?

My sister has grown up.

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

Du Yinyun nodded, Yes. When I hold my sisters arm, sometimes, youll even squeeze Yinyuns arm.

At this point, Fan Ziruo finally realized what her sister was talking about. It turned out that Du Yinyuns growing up did not refer to her age.

Annoyed and angry, she said, If you are squeezed, then let go of my arm and never hug again.

Du Yinyun knew Fan Ziruos character best. Her sister, who liked to be quiet the most, was most afraid of trouble. Even though she said no hugging, if you insisted on hugging her, there was nothing she could do.

So, Du Yinyun was not afraid of Fan Ziruos threats.

She said, Sister is stingy, I want to hold you.

As she said that, her hands exerted force and hugged Fan Ziruos arms tightly.

Fan Ziruos slender arms were pressed hard for a while.

This time, however, it was Fan Ziruos turn to tease Du Yinyun.

Yinyun, youre not too young, its time to get married, right?

One could only say that Fan Ziruo was worthy of being the most talented woman in Yinjing, and that this phrase youre not too young was a perfect double entendre.

Even though Du Yinyuns temperament was cool and calm, and Fan Ziruo was quiet and relaxed, they were both eighteen or nineteen years old, so they both had the same cute and mischievous attitude as girls of that age. The two of them are so close that they never have any problem talking to each other.

These funny words are only used to tease the best of friends, and outsiders will never have the pleasure of hearing them.

When they heard someone coming, they stopped their banter.

The maid said, Miss, Miss Du. Someone is here. Its a brother and sister, surnamed Chu.

Fan Ziruo frowned and said, Surnamed Chu?

Du Yinyun said, Most likely its Chu Fan, the Duke of Chu.

Fan Ziruos first thought was not who Chu Fan was, but, The One Cut Plum?

Du Yinyun nodded and said, That song, One Cut Plum Blossom, was composed by Chu Fans sister, Chu Xiaoxiao.

Fan Ziruo stretched his eyebrows, his face beaming with joy, and said, Quickly take me to see it.
