Time flies, time flies.

Before you know it, ten years have passed.

This year is the first year of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty, that is, 1253 AD.

Jiaxing South Lake.

Autumn goes to winter, the snow is beginning to stop, the world is vast, and it is covered in silver.

The willow trees on the embankment of the South Lake seem to have turned into proud plum blossoms, with snow muscles and ice bones, and the style is outstanding.

This winter was not cold, but it snowed, which is extremely rare.

The surface of the lake did not freeze, and in this white expanse of heaven and earth, a touch of turquoise was added, and the cold north wind blew from time to time, rolling up a handful of light snow and sprinkling it into the sky.

In such a cold weather, people have been warming themselves at home by the stove, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated, so the flat-leaved boat on the South Lake looks particularly lonely.

There is a person sitting at the head of the boat, he is dressed in a long robe, holding a scroll in his hand, immersed in the world of books, and the extremely beautiful snow scene of Nanhu Lake complements each other, forming a natural ink painting.

"Brother Chen, Xiang'er has come to see you!"

At this time, a crisp female voice came from afar.

Chen Hengzhi came back to his senses from the world in the book, and looked up to see a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, standing on the edge of the embankment, waving her right hand.

He felt that the muscles on his head were jumping, this little witch was none other than Guo Jing's second daughter, Guo Xiang.

Compared with the mediocre Guo Fu and Mu Ne's Guo Poyu, Guo Xiang is simply a combination of heaven and earth aura, able to speak in June, able to do at the age of one, and able to recite 300 Tang poems at the age of three.

Able to speak, the elves are eccentric, the mouth is sweet, the appearance is cute, and the face can be observed, and he is very favored by the adults in Baiyun City.

Huang Yaoshi is also very fond of it, and with Guo Fu's experience, he took her with him, taught her personally, and practiced martial arts.

Since then, Guo Xiang has become the second Eastern Evil, all kinds of naughty mischief, making Baiyun City a mess.

However, when they saw a crying expression on her face, everyone couldn't bear to blame, but fortunately, Xiao Guo Xiang was very measured, and he kept making small mistakes, and he didn't make big mistakes.

Once, Huang Yaoshi took her to the sword mound on the cliff in the back mountain to find Chen Hengzhi to catch up.

Since then, there has been one more object of Guo Xiang's disaster, that is, Chen Hengzhi's hermitage.

After two years of being troubled, Chen Hengzhi, who was so annoyed, simply moved back to Jiaxing from Xiangyang to live, and he couldn't afford to provoke it, so he could hide.

Who knows, only more than a year later, she came to the door again.

Chen Hengzhi stood up, took one step at a time, walked over the lake as if he was walking on the ground, it seemed to be slow and fast, and the distance of dozens of zhang was in the blink of an eye, if he was seen by people in the martial arts, he must have been greatly shocked, such a light work, it was really hard to believe.

He walked up to the girl, his face was already replaced with a kind smile, and said, "I said that the magpie kept calling this morning, it turned out that our lovely Xiang'er had arrived, and Brother Chen was really fortunate in his three lives." ”

Guo Xiang pouted, looking very sad, rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, and said in a low voice: "Xiang'er knows that Brother Chen doesn't like Xiang'er, and he doesn't come to see people for so long." ”

Chen Hengzhi rolled his eyes and said in his heart, this acting, the Oscar should be awarded to you a little golden man.

"Ahem!"

He coughed lightly and said kindly: "This is slander, Xiang'er is so cute, how can Brother Chen not like it, it's just, this, cough, recently, Brother Chen is a little busy, haha." ”

At the end, he smiled awkwardly.

"Humph!"

Guo Xiang wrinkled his nose and said crisply: "Hehe, I won't tease you, it's not interesting at all, Xiang'er came with her grandfather, father, mother, sister, and brother-in-law this time, and they are all waiting for you in the villa." ”

Chen Hengzhi replied: "That's okay, let's go back." ”

Guo Xiang smiled like a flower, and asked expectantly: "Brother Chen, I want you to carry me back, okay?" ”

"Not good!"

Chen Hengzhi shook his head: "Xiang'er is already a big girl, you must know that there is a difference between men and women, how can you let people carry it casually." ”

When Guo Xiang heard this, he was a little disappointed: "Oh, that's okay!" ”

Seeing this, Chen Hengzhi changed his words and said, "Xiang'er, let's compete to see who arrived first, let Brother Chen see if your light skills have improved." ”

Guo Xiang showed a smile on his face and said, "Okay, my little Dongxie is not a waste of fame, Brother Chen, you can take a look." ”

After speaking, he made light work, and quickly flew towards the direction of the villa, and his footsteps were light, and he was Zhang Xu, and after a while, only a black shadow remained.

Chen Hengzhi couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at this tricky scene, and with a movement of his feet, he caught up with her almost instantly, but he always followed Guo Xiang in a position and let her stay first.

Chen Hengzhi and Guo Xiang quickly returned to Baiyun Villa.

In the hall of the villa, it was the first time that so many guests were welcomed, Huang Yaoshi, Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife, Yang Guo and his wife, as well as Yang Guo's children Yang Chenglong, Yang Chenghu, and Yang Yuexi.

The eldest Yang Chenglong was born to Guo Fu, the second Yang Chenghu was born to Cheng Ying, and the only girl was born to Lu Wushuang.

There is not much difference in age between the three children, and they are all seven years old this year.

At this time, the three children were playing a game with their uncle Guo Poyu.

Yang Guo, who was becoming more and more majestic, held a celadon tea cup in his hand and slowly tasted steaming green tea.

He took a sip, put down the teacup, and sighed: "It's still comfortable in this villa, without those piles of headache-inducing official documents, and there are no unfinished official duties." ”

Guo Jing frowned and said: "Come on, you must not have such thoughts, standing behind you, but there are 100,000 soldiers in the army and millions of ordinary people, this burden cannot tolerate the slightest mistake." ”

"Uncle Guo, I know, that's what I said."

Yang Guo replied with a wry smile.

Huang Rong looked at the two Weng and her son-in-law with a kind face, she heard this, and said to Guo Jing reproachfully: "Brother Jing, you are really, you have been getting up early in the morning and working so hard all these years, it is not good for him to complain." ”

Guo Jing said helplessly: "In the past two years, the Mongols have started to behave again, and we can't tolerate the slightest carelessness. ”

Speaking of business, Yang Guo put away his playful expression and said heavily: "This time Dali sent people to ask for help, and I don't know how long they can last, in case our people rush over there, but Dali is destroyed, it will really be a trip in vain." ”

Guo Jing had a calm face and said in a muffled voice: "Even if Dali is destroyed, I have to find a way to rescue Master Yideng and them, the master was so kind to me back then, I should have personally led the troops to go before..."

Huang Rong pulled him privately, so that his later words were not spoken.

Yang Guo said: "Uncle Guo rest assured, I have already explained to them, we should give young people more opportunities, right, haha!" ”

He laughed.

At this moment, a voice came from afar: "Second brother, what are you so happy about?" ”

Immediately after, two figures, one large and one small, floated in.
