Chapter 139
Fan Zirou was concentrating on the story outline in her study, even forgetting that she had to go to class in the afternoon.
This time, her good sister Du Yinyun did not come to remind her, but was instead asked to come and chat with her to relieve her boredom.
When the door to the study was knocked on, Fan Zirou subconsciously said, Come in quickly, Young Master.
This time, however, it was not He Yunxiao who came in, but Du Yinyun.
Fan Zirou looked at her good sister, and was surprised, Yinyun, why is it you? What brings you here?
Du Yinyun said, I miss my sister, cant I? In this study, it seems that only Young Master He, is allowed to come, but not sisters sister.
Although Du Yinyun was speaking as if she was angry, she naturally moved her chair and sat next to Fan Ziyuan. The two sisters would sometimes fight, but their relationship had always been excellent.
What surprised Fan Zirou most was not that Du Yinyun came to her study.
When Young Master He was not here, Yinyun often came to look for herself. She was also a regular visitor to this study, but ever since the arrival of Young Master He, she had stopped coming.
Now that he was not here, it was normal for her to come and talk to herself again to relieve her boredom. But what was not normal was that Yinyun looked different from her usual self today.
Her skin was clear and rosy. Her long hair was black and smooth like silk. Her eyes were watery. Her eyes were smiling with spring in them, and the joy on her face seemed to come from deep inside, hard to suppress. She seems to be in quite a good mood.
At this moment, although Yinyuns temperament was less cold and indifferent, and more gentle and affectionate, this change made her whole person glowing.
Fan Zirou did not know how to describe the good sister now, but only had a feeling that this sister could also be her own sister.
Fan Zirou could not help but ask, Yinyun, you seem to be in a very good mood today, did something happy happen?
Sister Du naturally knew her sister Zirou, whose keen and intelligent eyes she had known for a long time. If she answered nothing happy now, she would definitely see through it.
So, Du Yinyun said in a roundabout way, I am happy to see my sister happy, and so am I.
Fan Zirou said curiously, What am I happy about?
Du Yinyun laughed, Sister has a husband, isnt that happy?
Hearing her good sister say this, Fan Zirou immediately blushed and explained in a panic, No, no. We are just friends, Young Master He and I. Besides, he teaches me how to write novels and is my teacher. We are absolutely clear, how could we possibly do something like that.
Du Yinyun thought to herself, I havent even said who the husband is, but my good sister has confessed everything.
However, my sisters concern about the teacher-student relationship was just as her Young Master had guessed.
Du Yinyun pretended to be surprised and said, Didnt my sister also teach Young Master He the essays of the imperial examinations?
Fan Zirou, nodded and said, Yes, I teach him essays and he teaches me novels.
Du Yinyun then said, Then, is this also considered teacher and student?
Fan Zirou, thought about it, and couldnt quite figure it out herself. So her mood sank and her voice lowered.
I dont know. But me and Young Master He, no matter who is going to teach who, in any case one is the teacher and the other is the student.
When Du Yin Yun saw her own sister thinking this way, she said angrily, Where has this study of sisters gone? Yinyun has not read as many books as her sister, but she thinks about these things with more understanding than her sister. The sage said, If three people can do something, there must be a teacher for them. Anyone can be a teacher and anyone can be a disciple. Do you understand?
Naturally, Fan Zirou knew these things. She said, I understand.
Du Yunyun continued, Since sister understands, why cant you figure it out? Since there must be a teacher for all three, that means everyone can be a teacher. If everyone thinks like you, that a teacher and a student cannot be married, then how can there be a husband and wife in this world? How can there be any prosperity and joy in heaven?
If a man and a woman are married, and the man teaches the woman how to farm and the woman teaches the man how to weave, then the man and woman are also each others master and disciple. If you think so, does it mean that the two of them, who are already married, do not count just because they have taught each other something?
Sister is a pedantic thinker and suffers yourself. If you cant even understand this, you should have made your attitude clear and said, I am not destined for the Young Master. It would have saved me, ahem and saved Young Master He come over every day. Its as if the first son of someones marquiss house comes every day to beg for sister and refuses to marry him.
When Fan Zirou was scolded by her good sister in this way, instead of feeling aggrieved, the things she had been worried and depressed about before diminished a lot.
Even more so, she began to worry about He Yunxiaos attitude instead.
It was true, as Yinyun had said, that there should be many women who thought of a gentleman of his caliber.
In Yinjing alone, there were far more than just the Fan family who were the right match for the Marquis. In fact, regarding the Fan familys relationship with the Marquis, it is a high climb.
If we take a step back from family history and look only at personal qualifications, just counting the Four Flowers of Yinjing, there are at least three women from the scholarly family in Yinjing whose talent and beauty are not inferior to her own. This is in addition to merchant families, princesses, and county princesses.
He could have considered others, but not her.
Not to mention others, lets talk about his own sister, Du Yinyun. It goes without saying that her talent and beauty are outstanding. but her cool, indifferent and elegant temperament, coupled with her usual indifferent expression, is most capable of arousing mens desire.
Fortunately, Yinyun is not interested in Young Master He..
When Fan Zirou, thought of this, she could not help but secretly be glad that she had outstanding looks, except for a few equally stunning girls such as Yinyun. she could overpower the vast majority of the rest of the Yinjing women with her smile alone. Being pretty and being able to make a gentleman look at her a few times was a great advantage.
Fan Zirou thought of this, as if she had forgotten how she had once disliked her natural beauty.
Du Yinyun stared at her sisters expression, guessing that she had almost finished thinking, so she opened her mouth to strike while the iron was hot.
Sister, let me ask you.
Fan Zirou thought about He Yunxiao, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the qualities in He Yunxiao were very valuable, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt a sense of crisis in her heart.
She said, Yinyun, you speak.
Du Yinyun said directly, Sister, if you and Young Master He were not such an ambiguous teacher and student, but a real master and disciple. In that case, would you be willing to let go of Young Master He?
Fan Zirou was silent this time.
Her mind replayed Du Yunyuns words repeatedly.
Did she really have to give up what might be the only great marriage of her life just because of worldly status?
Fan Zirou was hesitant and struggling at the same time.
On the one hand, she did not want to let go of this great marriage. But on the other hand, she felt that it was not proper to do so. If everyone was like her and knew manners but did not observe them, the world would sooner or later be in chaos. And if she chose not to observe the rites, she would no longer be worthy of being a teacher, let alone of reading the masterpieces.
It was a life-long decision to gamble, so to speak.
Fortunately, her relationship with He Yunxiao was not yet a true teacher-student relationship, and she did not have to force herself to think about it.
Unknowingly, even Fan Zirou did not notice that she was already feeling lucky and happy that she did not have a teacher-student relationship with He Yunxiao.
