This array was built on the edge of a spring pond, and the spring pool was in a garden, and it was the early spring season, when the trees were revived and the trees began to sprout, and the scenery in the garden was pleasant. As soon as Hong Ningxiang stepped off the platform, he raised his eyes and saw a towering maple tree in front of him, the brown branches stretched to the fullest, and the leaves were red in the green, and it was conceivable that the maple leaves in autumn must be in full swing.

There is a wooden corridor under the maple tree, and there are benches under the corridor, and against the wooden corridor is a shed made of green vines, and a swing is set up in the shed.

Seeing this scene, Hong Ningxiang was stunned for a while, and this place instantly evoked her long-sealed memories, making her can't help but rush over. She walked through the pool, across the meadow, and under the maple tree, her fingers following the texture of the trunk to the bottom. I really touched a tree hole, and there was her immature handwriting above the tree hole, with the ancient character "Hong" written on it, crooked, clumsy and immature, that was when she first became literate, after her brother Hong Ningchuan taught her to learn words, she carved it with a knife.

Strange, isn't this Gu Feng in her yard? Could this be the Red Maple Valley? But how can there be a swing frame in Shifu next to it? The reason why she is so sure is that she saw the two ropes tied to the swing, which were originally brown thin hemp ropes, and once she fell down while swinging, Shi Dingfeng asked people to replace them with another kind of strong rope, she thought that the color of the rope was ugly, and she also used the dye to paint red, blue and yellow. After she finished painting, she made her face into a flower-faced cat, and was ridiculed by Shi Dingfeng afterwards.

Hong Ningxiang touched here and looked there, and remembered a lot of past events for a while. Mixed with joy and sorrow, the mood is undulating. She turned around and wanted to ask Shi Dingfeng what kind of place this was, but she saw him striding over. He took her hand. walked straight to the wooden corridor and sat down with her, as if guessing what she was thinking, Shi Dingfeng glanced at Gu Feng above his head and said, "This is my other courtyard, Fengning Garden, in the southernmost part of Shixin Island." The ancient maple tree in your yard was moved by me, and this swing frame was also moved from the stone mansion. What do you think. Do you like it?"

The traces on the ancient maple and the swing, even after hundreds of years, are still preserved in such good condition. This man must have put a lot of effort into getting someone to take care of him. Hong Ningxiang's eyes were red, and he almost didn't know what to say. She rested her head on his shoulder, for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Ninth Master." I'm sorry. He sealed all the memories between them. He waited for her alone in the same place, for so many years, and she pushed him away again and again, she was too bad, too ruthless, too cruel, and a word of apology was not enough to wash away the damage she had done him.

Shi Dingfeng stretched out his hand and touched the corner of her eye: "Didn't you say that it was flattened? ”

Hong Ningxiang nodded "um", she picked up the corner of his clothes and wiped her eyes. Laughed: "Okay, you're welcome." I'm never going to be polite again!"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the wooden corridor, and someone was coming.

Hong Ningxiang straightened his clothes, sat upright, raised his eyes and saw a middle-aged man in an indigo robe with two family members, walked over quickly, and saw Shi Dingfeng, the middle-aged man took the family members and bowed together: "The old slave has seen the ninth master." The front room was cleaned up, and I waited for the master to come over and have a cup of hot tea and take a good rest. The old slave also has something to report. ”

The ninth master has just come back, and this housekeeper-like person has come to talk about business, so he is so blind. However, seeing Shi Dingfeng's expression, there was no displeasure, thinking that this housekeeper was quite important to him in Fengning Garden, so he only heard Shi Dingfeng nod and said, "I'll go to the front hall later." Du Lao, you send some more people to clean up Mrs. Xiang's house, and we will stay here for a few days. ”

Du Lao retreated with his family, Hong Ningxiang heard Shi Dingfeng emphasize the three words "Mrs. Xiang", and his heart warmed, he specially reminded these subordinates of her identity. Hong Ningxiang followed Shi Dingfeng to the front hall, Du Lao was a little hesitant after coming, as if he didn't know whether to say something in front of Mrs. Xiang, Hong Ningxiang excused himself to go back to the room to rest and want to slip away, but was stopped by Shi Dingfeng, Shi Dingfeng said to Du Lao: "There are no outsiders here, Du Lao has something to do, but it doesn't matter." ”

"A few days ago, after the sixth master came back from the demon world, he specially sent a message to the old slave, saying that if the ninth master came back, let me inform him. The old slave didn't dare to make decisions rashly, and he was worried that there was something important on the sixth master's side, so he wanted to ask the ninth master if he wanted to inform him of the news of your return. Du Yongan knew that the personnel in the Shifu were complicated, and the sixth master and the ninth master had some disagreements before, so he didn't dare to make his own decisions and casually leak the whereabouts of the ninth master.

"I came back to Fengning Garden, just for a few days, I don't have to talk to the people of Shifu, and I don't have to make a public announcement. Shi Dingfeng frowned, "In addition to this, did the sixth master explain anything else to you?"

"Back to the ninth master, there is also a letter, which was sent by the sixth master two days ago. ”

Shi Dingfeng took a secret letter from Du Yongan, tore open the sealed prohibition, took out the letterhead, and looked at it carefully.

After Du Lao left, Hong Ningxiang immediately refilled Shi Dingfeng's cup with hot tea, and then brought it to him, and asked with a flattering face: "Ninth Master, what is written on the letter, so mysterious?!"

Shi Dingfeng took a sip of hot tea very comfortably and handed the letter to her, "Take a look for yourself." ”

Hong Ningxiang didn't expect him to be so generous, so he unceremoniously took the letter and looked at it carefully.

The content of the letter said that Shi Dingjiang brought Xie Lijun's true body back to the Tianji Cultivation Realm from under the Southern Heavenly Pillar, but because Xie Lijun was suppressed for 20 years, his cultivation was lost, his foundation was completely destroyed, and he was no different from a wasted person, and Xie Lijun's soul was weak, so he never woke up. This matter was known to Xie Lijun's mother Zheng, and after Zheng learned from Shi Dingjiang about her daughter's plan to assassinate Hong Ningxiang, although she said that she could ignore Shi Dingfeng's fault, Shi Dingjiang defiled her daughter and must give her daughter a name.

Shi Dingjiang already has a wife, Mo Yunyan, and it is impossible to marry Xie Lijun again, the two sides stalemate for several days, and finally the Zheng family agreed, giving Xie Lijun the identity of a concubine and letting her marry into Shifu. Now, Xie Lijun lives in Shifu. Soon after this incident, the Zheng family repented, thinking that Shi Dingfeng had caused his daughter to become a waste, and asked the Shi family to give an explanation, and the Shi family must try to restore Xie Lijun's body, otherwise the Xie and Zheng families would not let the Shi family go.

Hong Ningxiang was speechless for a long time after reading the letter.

Jiu Ye didn't kill Xie Lijun, it was already the limit of his tolerance. Although Xie Lijun has become a wasted person, he is still alive, but the Xie Zheng family not only did not apologize to Shi Dingfeng for the things Xie Lijun did, but also asked the Shi family to give an explanation, which was really thick-skinned to the extreme.

Hong Ningxiang saw Shi Dingfeng drinking tea unhurriedly and looked confident, could it be that he had any good ideas? If Xie Lijun's body was really restored, who knew if that woman would come out to harm people again? But if they ignored the unreasonable demands of the Zheng family, the Shi family was afraid that it would be difficult to escape their accountability. Whatever you choose, it's tricky.

She looked at him and asked, "Ninth Master, what are you going to do?" (To be continued.) )
