Time flies, and time passes.

Before we knew it, ten years have passed.

This year was the first year of Baoyou of Emperor Lizong of Song Dynasty, which was 1253 AD.

Jiaxing Nanhu.

Autumn goes and winter comes, heavy snow has just stopped, the world is vast, covered with silver.

The willow trees on the shore of the South Lake seem to have become proud plum blossoms, with snowy muscles and ice bones, and a brilliant appearance.

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

The lake surface was not frozen, and a hint of green was added to this vast white world. The bitter north wind blew from time to time, rolling up a handful of light snow and sprinkling into the sky.

In such a cold weather, people snuggled up to the stove at home to keep warm, and the surroundings were sparsely populated, so the flat-leaf boat on the Nanhu Lake seemed particularly lonely.

A man sat at the head of the boat. He was wearing a long robe and holding a scroll in his hand. He was immersed in the world of books, and reflected the beautiful snow scene in Nanhu to form a natural ink painting.

"Brother Chen, Xiang'er is here 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 and saw a girl with bright eyes and white teeth standing pretty on the bank and waving her right hand.

He felt the veins on his forehead leaping. This little witch was no one else, but Guo Jing's second daughter, Guo Xiang.

Compared with the mediocre Guo Fu and the dull Guo Polu, Guo Xiang is simply a collection of spiritual energy in heaven and earth. He can speak in June, do it in one year, and recite 300 Tang poems at the age of three.

He is eloquent, eccentric, sweet-mouthed, cute, and observant. He is very fond of the adults in Baiyun City.

Huang Yaoshi is also very fond of it. With the lessons from Guo Fu, he brought her by his side, taught her personally, and practiced literature and martial arts.

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

However, when everyone saw a crying expression on her face, they couldn't bear to blame her. Fortunately, Xiao Guoxiang was very sensible and kept making small mistakes, and never made big mistakes.

Once, Huang Yaoshi took her to the sword tomb on the cliff in the back mountain to find Chen Hengzhi to reminisce about the past.

Since then, Guo Xiang has another object of disaster, that is, Chen Hengzhi's retreat.

After being troubled for two years, Chen Hengzhi, who was so annoyed, simply moved back to Jiaxing from Xiangyang to live. He couldn't afford to offend him, so he could just hide.

But I knew that after just over a year, she came to me again.

Chen Hengzhi stood up, took one step forward, walked past the lake like walking on the ground, as if he was slow and fast, and arrived in a blink of an eye. As if he was seen by a person in the martial arts world, he would be shocked. Such light skills are really hard to believe.

He walked to the girl, his face had a kind smile, and said, "I said that the magpies kept calling this morning. It turned out that our cute Xiang'er was here. Brother Chen is so lucky to have three lives."

Guo Xiang pouted, looked very sad, rubbed the corners of his clothes with both hands, and whispered: "Xiang'er knew that Brother Chen didn't like Xiang'er. He hasn't come to see him for so long."

Chen Hengzhi rolled his eyes and thought to himself, this Oscar should be awarded to you a little golden man in this acting skill.

"cough!"

He coughed lightly and said kindly: "This is a slander. Xiang'er is so cute. Why would Brother Chen not like it? But, this, cough, recently, Brother Chen is a little busy, haha."

At the end of the day, he smiled awkwardly.

"snort!"

Guo Xiang wrinkled his nose and said with a crisp voice: "Hehe, I won't make fun of you anymore, I have no meaning at all. Xiang'er came with her grandfather, father, mother, sister, and brother-in-law this time. They are all waiting for you in the villa."

Chen Hengzhi replied: "Okay, let's go back."

Guo Xiang smiled like a flower and asked with anticipation: "Brother Chen, can I ask 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 just let someone carry it?"

Guo Xiang was a little disappointed when he heard this: "Oh, okay!"

Seeing this, Chen Hengzhi changed his mind and said, "Xiang'er, let's compare who will arrive first, let Brother Chen see if your light skills have improved."

Guo Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, I, Xiao Dongxie, aren't so frivolous, Brother Chen, please take a look."

After saying that, he used his light skills and quickly flew towards the direction of the villa. He pointed his footsteps and was about a meter away. After a while, only a black shadow was left.

Chen Hengzhi looked at the scene of cheating and couldn't help but shake his head. With his feet moving, he caught up with her almost instantly. However, he always followed Guo Xiang in a position, allowing her to keep the first place.

Chen Hengzhi and Guo Xiang quickly returned to Baiyun Villa.

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

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

The three children are not very different in age, and they are already seven this year.

At this time, the three children were playing games with their uncle Guo Polu.

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

He sniffed, put down the teacup, and sighed: "It's still comfortable in this villa. There are no piles of headache-provoking official documents, and no endless official duties."

Guo Jing frowned and said, "Guo'er, don't have such an idea. The one who stands behind you is a hundred thousand soldiers and millions of ordinary people. This burden cannot tolerate any mistakes."

"Uncle Guo, I know, I just said that."

Yang Guo replied with a wry smile.

Huang Rong looked at the father-in-law and son-in-law with a kind face. When she heard this, she said to Guo Jing and said, "Brother Jing, you are really good. You have been getting up early in the dark all these years. It's so hard that he can't complain a few words."

Guo Jing said helplessly: "The Mongols have started to act evil again in the past two years, and we cannot tolerate any carelessness."

Speaking of the serious matter, 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. If our troops arrived there and Dali was destroyed, it would be a waste of time."

Guo Jing said calmly, "Even if Dali is destroyed, we must find a way to rescue Master Yideng and the others. The master was as kind as a mountain to me back then, so I should have led my troops to go there before..."

Huang Rong pulled him privately, and let him not say anything else afterwards.

Yang Guo said: "Uncle Guo, don't worry. I have already told them that we should give young people more opportunities, right? Haha!"

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

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