The Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of Kaifeng is named after its geographical location.

A heavy rain drove away the last bit of coolness of late spring, and Xia had already taken a step and walked unscrupulously. The sky is clear, there is not a trace of clouds, and the hot sun exudes heat unscrupulously, steaming the entire capital land arbitrarily. Although the sun was already blazing on the flat ground, Shili Pavilion was exceptionally cool because of the dense trees on the hills.

The bright sunlight is mottled by the trees, and the scorching summer is cooled by the trees. The stone steps leading to the top of the hill were unusually clean due to a heavy rain a few days ago. The grass and trees were in a hurry, and occasionally grasshoppers jumped over and tossed the slanted shallots.

A thin figure walked up the stone steps of the Ten Mile Pavilion in a calm manner, a blue-gray robe glowing a bleak white light in the sunlight. The man walked steadily and with ease, his hair combed and unkempt with an old rope tied to it, and there was not a trace of waves on his calm face.

Only the narrow eyes revealed a little reluctance, if it weren't for the temporary news, he should still be dealing with his urgent business, but now he had to come here to meet someone he didn't really want to see.

Yes, Xiao Zheng is back, much earlier than the original plan for half a month, although this is not his willingness, but in life, how can everything follow his own thoughts.

Feng Yao was controlled by Du Yuexian in the Ran Mansion, although the stupid girl didn't feel any danger around her, but Nanfeng didn't dare to be sloppy, on the first night of Feng Yao's stay in the Ran Mansion, his carrier pigeon had already flown out of the capital and flew into Xiao Zheng's hands. Seeing the news, Xiao Zheng didn't think much about letting go of what he was doing and rushed back non-stop. It's not too late, because Feng Yao has only lived in Ran Mansion for five days.

Maybe this is a busy season, and Shili Pavilion did not attract anyone because of its coolness, on the contrary, all the way up, only the thin and narrow figure and Xiao Zheng were companions.

Xiao Zheng took one step at a time, leaving the capital, leaving this place of right and wrong, Xiao Zheng stayed in that rural mountain village for 20 years. Twenty years, how many twenty years can there be in life? The high-spirited young man has turned white, and the ambitious young master has learned to hide it in his heart.

Too much time has passed, so that the villagers of that wilderness mountain village regard Xiao Zheng as a villager there, and Xiao Zheng himself is about to forget that he was once a teenager in the capital.

More than 20 years have passed, the capital has undergone earth-shaking changes, I thought that my small speck of dust would not attract anyone's attention, but I didn't expect that after only a little more than a month, someone so eager to see him!

There was already a person on the Shili Pavilion looking into the distance, a pale pink tulle skirt gently swaying with the breeze on the top of the mountain, and a beautiful shadow of a woman appeared in front of Xiao Zheng. The skirt on the lady's body is extremely luxurious, and the golden hairpin and jade hairpin on the lady's head are extremely precious. Xiao Zheng looked at her without any waves. Originally, there was no past between them, but she was a witness to that time, she experienced the era of his changes, and she knew some of the past in ignorance.

I have been hiding for so long, but I didn't expect that the first person to find me was this woman!

In fact, Xiao Zheng is not worried about being discovered by anyone, but he just doesn't want to be blackmailed, especially with Feng Yao as a bargaining chip.

The woman in the pavilion seemed to have heard Xiao Zheng's footsteps and his silent stop, but she was not in a hurry to turn back, a faint smile suddenly flashed on her plain face, and the aftermath in the corners of her eyes was a little more proud and flamboyant. Her red lips opened slightly, and her smile opened slightly, "I really didn't expect you to come so soon?" "The woman turned her body around to match that body, and she looked wonderful. It's just that there are countless red spots on the face, and the large and small ones are a little scary on the face. Xiao Zheng just glanced at it and already understood the general idea.

The woman turned around, and she saw Xiao Zheng standing in front of her, this was an old man with gray hair, although his spirit was still strong, but the dress around her was really a little shabby compared to her as a noblewoman. The woman's coquettish face showed a look of surprise, and one hand gently covered half of her face and said in surprise, "It's only been more than ten years, how did you become like this?" Is it not easy to live in this wilderness? Or is it too hard to drag your children and daughters? The look was not only surprised, but also more or less mocking.

Xiao Zheng ignored the woman's harshness, he looked at the woman in front of him who was a few years younger than him, and said lightly, "I haven't seen her for more than ten years, but Miss Du is still as charming as she was back then." ”

"Oh, no, I shouldn't call you Miss Du now, I should call you Mrs. Ran!" Xiao Zheng seemed to have suddenly realized. Du Yuexian is not surprised that Xiao Zheng said this, for her, the past is the past, even if she was the Miss Du family in the past, who dares to disagree that she is the wife of the current Ran Mansion? That's enough!

"Mr. Xiao praised it falsely, it's not that my charm has not diminished back then, it's just that Mr. Xiao has changed too much that people have to be surprised!" Du Yuexian stroking her cheek proudly, if it weren't for the unbearable itching on it, she might have really forgotten her face at this time.

"Twenty years in the prime of life, fifty years of vicissitudes, how can a pair of stinky skins cover?" Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, he walked towards the center of the pavilion, the sun shining on his clear face, clearly showing the marks carved by those years.

"I am a female streamer, and I don't have an epiphany like Mr. Xiao. I only know that life is alive and you can enjoy the prosperity of a lifetime, even if you die, it is worth it. Du Yuexian swung her skirt twice, indeed, she came for pleasure all her life.

"Mrs. Ran's realm, the old man can't reach it." This is a sarcasm, but unfortunately Du Yuexian doesn't care.

"But to be honest, even after so many years, I still have a fresh memory of Mr. Xiao's skills. So for so many years, I have been in love with Linglong Pavilion's rouge gouache, not entirely because their fat powder is still beneficial to me, but more importantly, I can find traces of Mr. Xiao in it. Perhaps God was also moved by my sincerity, until one day, I got a box of skin cream, and I was deeply sure that this was what I had been looking forward to for twenty years, and it must have come from the hands of the best man in the world. Du Yuexian's eyebrows were flirtatious, she took two steps towards Xiao Zheng, and the heavy aroma hit, Xiao Zheng frowned instinctively.

Xiao Zheng developed rouge spices, but he didn't like the strong fragrance. His incense is like his person, gentle and elegant, but it can last for a long time.

"It's really an old man's sin to be able to think about Mrs. Ran like this!" Xiao Zheng moved his steps to the side.

"Oh? Are you complimenting me? This doesn't seem to be Mr. Xiao's character. Du Yuexian's nostrils snorted coldly.

"My character? I, Xiao, have long been a runstone in the sea, with no edges and no character. Xiao Zheng twisted his beard.

"In fact, Mr. Xiao doesn't have to be so arrogant, Xiao Zheng, who dominated the capital back then, was simply a cloud-shaking figure, and the herbs and trees you managed and founded were even more famous. All the people in the capital are waiting for Mr. Xiao to become famous, and many young ladies from wealthy and aristocratic families are waiting for Mr. Xiao's red sedan chair to welcome relatives. It's a pity that Mr. Xiao would never have thought about it, so he just changed his mind...... It seems that God loves to joke with people so much, and I feel sorry for Mr. Xiao when I think about it. However, there is finally a reincarnation in this world, even if it takes a long time, Mr. Xiao still returns to the capital. I believe that with Mr. Xiao's craftsmanship, it is not difficult to make a comeback! What's more, aren't you already reorganizing the rivers and mountains now? Du Yuexian said that he was the first to say, and Xiao Zheng just watched coldly from the sidelines.

"What? Has Mr. Xiao forgotten all about the past? Seeing that Xiao Zheng was indifferent, Du Yuexian deliberately added fuel to the fire.

"Mrs. Ran said that Xiao really doesn't remember the past, the old man is just a craftsman who makes rouge gouache now, what comeback, what revitalizes the mountains and rivers, it has nothing to do with me. I just make my incense, live my life, eat with a mouthful of food, that's all! ”

"Mixed food? Don't say that I don't believe Mr. Xiao's words, but does Mr. Xiao himself believe it? Don't blame me for speaking harshly and eating with a mouthful, isn't it easier to mix in the mountains and wilderness villages than in the capital? Mr. Xiao is so old, why did he come here to suffer such a crime? Du Yuexian asked.

"This is the old man's private matter, and it has nothing to do with Mrs. Ran!" Xiao Zheng didn't want to talk to her more.

"How many years have passed, and Mr. Xiao is still so arrogant. Although I was young and ignorant at that time, I was deeply impressed by Mr. Xiao, and the most profound of these was Mr. Xiao's high spirit. To be honest, I was really fascinated by Mr. Xiao at that time! Du Yuexian hid her face and smiled.

"Please Mrs. Ran respect herself!" Xiao Zheng's expression was solemn.

"Self-respect? Isn't it self-respecting to express my admiration in front of people I admire? Du Yuexian walked in front of Xiao Zheng, she turned her whole body towards Xiao Zheng, and the pungent aroma really made Xiao Zheng unbearable.

"Xiao is a reckless man, and the famous festival has long been out of the way, and it will not be good if he ruins Mrs. Ran's famous festival."

"I don't care, what do you care?" Du Yuexian smiled flatteringly.

"If Mrs. Ran insists on this, Xiao has no choice but to leave!" Xiao Zheng turned around and wanted to leave.

"What? Is this leaving? Don't you care about some people? Du Yuexian was not in a hurry, she had her plans in her heart.

"No matter what Mrs. Ran says, she is a famous lady, and she acts openly and fairly, does she have to insult her reputation by doing those indiscriminate methods that only the three sects and nine streams are willing to do?" Xiao Zheng looked at Du Yuexian Dao.
