It's March again, and in the courtyard, Lin Xiuwan, who is wearing a light blue dress, is sitting on a chair and reading a book in her hand.

Next to her, Xiaoqing was holding a fan and was helping her repel mosquitoes.

Xiaoqing looked up at the sky and reminded, "Miss, it's time to go to breakfast." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Xiuwan answered, folded the corner of the page, and closed the book. With Xiaoqing, he left the Hou Mansion, and outside, the carriage was ready.

The coachman is a middle-aged man with a sturdy physique, who was arranged for her by Shou Anhou, in addition to acting as a coachman, he is also her bodyguard.

A year ago, after almost being kidnapped, to this day, Lin Xiuwan has to bring bodyguards every time she goes out.

The carriage came to an alley familiarly, and after stopping, Lin Xiuwan got out of the carriage, walked into the alley, and came to a door.

The coachman escorted her all the way to the door.

"The girl is coming."

Before she could knock, the door opened from the inside, and it was a middle-aged woman.

Lin Xiuwan greeted familiarly, "Aunt Fang, what are you eating today?" ”

"I made soy milk and fritters today, before, when the young master was still there, I had to eat soy milk fritters every morning, and my child and his father sent them over."

Aunt Fang said, "Actually, girl, you don't have to come every day, just send someone to pick it up." Come here every day, how troublesome. ”

Lin Xiuwan shook her head with a smile and said, "Don't bother, I, I like to come here." ”

"The girl will sit inside, and I'll go and bring it out." Aunt Fang said and went into the kitchen.

Lin Xiuwan and Xiaoqing entered the house, but the coachman did not follow, but stayed outside.

This courtyard is the base that Chen Fan bought and where they often meet.

Lin Xiuwan walked into the lobby, and there was a small table in the middle, as well as two oddly shaped chairs. Chen Fan specially made carpenters, saying that they are ergonomic chairs.

Against the wall, there are wooden shelves on which various things are placed.

Lin Xiuwan walked to the wooden frame on the left wall, on which were chessboards of different shapes, flying chess, military chess, beast chess, and a checkers board, but instead of glass balls, chess pieces made of stones of different colors.

These are all specially made by Chen Fan.

She stretched out her hand and stroked it on the chessboard, she and Chen Fan had only played these chess pieces once or twice, so they put them away and never touched them again.

She wasn't very interested in these games. Chen Fan still did one after another.

She whispered, "Fool." ”

"Girl, eat it while it's hot." At this time, Aunt Fang came out with something and beckoned.

Lin Xiuwan withdrew her hand, walked to the table and sat down, picked up a fritter, tore off a piece, and took a bite.

Aunt Fang said suddenly, "It's been a year since the young master went, and he doesn't know what the south is, so he can't get used to it." ”

Lin Xiuwan had a handful of meals.

yes, from March last year, to March of this year. It's been a whole year.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing on the side hurriedly diverted the topic, "Aunt Fang is thinking of Uncle Zhao." I haven't seen each other in a year. ”

Aunt Fang said, "What does he have to think, he is leaving, I will be cleaner." ”

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, "Aunt Fang, open the door quickly." ”

Aunt Fang said, "It's Miss who is here." "Hurry over and open the door.

It was Chen Zhilan who came, and she said as soon as she entered the door, "Sister Lin, I knew you must be here." ”

After Lin Xiuwan beckoned her to sit down, she asked, "Is Uncle Chen's illness better?" ”

They hadn't seen each other for almost a month, and Lin Xiuwan hadn't been to Chen's Mansion since the incident a year ago. The relationship with Chen Zhilan is better, except for meeting in the Hou Mansion, the two are here.

Zhao Gang can be said to be her savior, Aunt Fang is Zhao Gang's wife, and she came here justifiably.

Last month, Chen Zhilan's father suddenly became seriously ill, and the entire Chen Mansion was in chaos, and they never saw each other again.

Chen Zhilan said gratefully, "It's almost better, and thanks to the precious medicinal materials sent by Master Hou, it's really helpful." My mother said that she must come to the door another day to thank you. ”

"It's good that people are okay." Lin Xiuwan had actually heard the news that Chen's father was getting better, and she was relieved when she heard her confirm it in person.

Chen Zhilan said, "I was about to tell you, when my father was seriously ill, he asked someone to send a letter to the third brother and asked him to come back immediately. Count the days, it's almost here. ”

Lin Xiuwan was stunned.

When Xiaoqing heard this, she was taken aback and looked at the young lady worriedly.

Aunt Fang said in surprise, "Young Master is really coming back?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Zhilan said, "The third brother will definitely come back when he learns that his father is sick." ”

"That's great." Aunt Fang likes to move colors.

"Sister Lin—" Chen Zhilan wanted to say something.

Lin Xiuwan suddenly stood up and said, "That, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

She ran out of the courtyard and back in the carriage, where she sat unaware of what she was thinking.

The carriage drove away, and Xiaoqing saw that she still didn't speak, and was a little worried, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

Lin Xiuwan muttered, "Even if he comes to me, I won't see him." ”

After a while, she said quietly, "You say, will he come to me?" ”

"Yes, miss, it will."

…………

Chen Fan woke up groggily, still feeling that he had no strength in his body, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was no longer on the ship, but in a room.

He was a little strange, the time should have come, why was he still in the copy world?

Two years ago, when he came, it was the third day of the fourth month, and the day he passed out was also the third day of the fourth month.

"I was stupid enough to forget this."

Chen Fan suddenly remembered that in this era, the lunar calendar is used, which is different from the solar calendar, and a year is not 365 days, but about ten days less. So, every two to three years, there is an extra leap month.

In these two years, there happened to be no leap month. That is, he has almost twenty days left.

"Young Master, you're awake."

Next to it, Liu An's voice sounded, but this voice was a little wrong, as if he had cried.

Chen Fan asked a little weakly, "Have we arrived in the capital?" ”

"Not yet, we just went ashore in Tong County."

Chen Fan saw that Liu An's eyes were a little red and swollen, obviously crying, and asked, "Why are you crying?" ”

"I'm just the sand in my eyes. Come on, young master, drink this medicine. Liu An came over with a bowl of medicine.

Chen Fan smelled a smell of medicine just now, and when he brought it over, just by smelling it, he knew that it was very bitter. My heart sank slightly, and I thought of a possibility, and asked, "What disease do I have?" ”

Liu An choked up and said, "It's just that I occasionally feel cold, and the doctor said that after drinking the medicine, you can get better after a few days of rest." ”

Chen Fan sighed, "Then why are you crying?" ”

He knew he was going to leave in the worst possible way.
