51. Heroes also have frowns

In Anyi, Hedong, the Mansion of General Cavalry.

"Come, come to my father's side."

In the snow in the backyard, Yan Xing, who was already a father, was wearing a long robe, leaning over and holding a snowball, and was calling his three children to come to him. His childlike innocence was not as majestic as a general in the court.

The maid who was serving the side could only suppress her smile, worried and expectantly watching the three young men stumble towards their father.

The oldest Yan Shuo has learned to walk, but if he walks more quickly, he will inevitably fall. Fortunately, he is in the snow and is not afraid of falling and hurting. He proudly rushed to the front, left his two younger brothers far away, and stumbled towards Yan Xing, repeating the words "father" and "snow" in his mouth, as if he wanted to seek credit and reward, and take away the snowballs from his father's hand.

Yan Chang and Yan Tong, who were still babbling, saw that they were left far behind. They were also curious and were immediately anxious, but they could only make a series of unclear screams. They were wrapped tightly by their mothers. They were not fully learning to walk independently. Without the support of their maids, they took three steps. Yan Tong climbed up with their hands and feet. Yan Feng, who was a little anxious, simply rolled forward on the snow. Anyway, they relied on their thick layers of clothes and were not afraid of being frozen.

Just as the three of them showed their magical powers and moved towards their father, Pei Shu, who brought her slaves to the backyard, saw the three children who were regarded as treasures in the mansion and were afraid of melting in their hands following their father to make trouble in the snow. She was anxious and angry and quickly directed the maid to pick up all the three children, patted the snowflakes on her body, and sent them to the inner room to keep the fire warm.

"This kid is still so young, how can you follow you so much? What if you get cold!"

Pei Shu walked to Yan Xing who threw away the snowball, turned around and looked at the servants not far away, and then she softly complained about Yan Xing's misconduct.

Yan Xing smiled when he saw this. He touched his red nose, listened to his wife's complaints awkwardly, and at the same time reached out to gently sweep the snowflakes falling from the fur for Pei Shu.

After returning to the backyard of the General's Mansion, his condition was as upside down as outside. He didn't know much about the house, the wealth of the warehouse, and the food of the kitchen. The slaves in the mansion were very busy in front of him, and he never dared to let the male king who rarely showed up do some things.

If he hadn't insisted on coming here before, he would have been afraid that his three children would still be held by the maids in the mansion and stayed in the room that was warmed by the stove.

Pei Shu is in charge of all things, and Pei Shu is used to handling all the things in the mansion.

"Let's go, go back to the inner room, don't let the villain see a joke."

Pei Shu's face turned slightly red, and she quietly pulled Yan Xing's sleeve and signaled him to return to the inner room as soon as possible, so as not to lose his dignity as a general in the mansion.

Yan Xing smiled helplessly at Pei Shu, then walked towards the inner room with his head held high, and Pei Shu also followed him with a step behind Yan Xing, and followed the crowd of slaves and maids like a shadow.

As he approached the eaves, Yan Xing subconsciously stopped, turned around and saw his wife who wanted to speak but stopped. He smiled, shook the snowflakes on his body quickly, and then he walked into the room.

Pei Shu was familiar with the arrangements to send the people, then slowly moved the lotus steps and followed them into the room.

"Husband, you have done something bad today. It's okay if you bring Tong'er to the snow to play, but how can you take Shuo'er and Feng'er out too? You have to know that they are put on their mothers to keep warm on their chests, so how can they make their snow roll and run away? What if they get frostbite and frostbite!"

Pei Shu, who poured a cup of hot soup for Yan Xing, turned around and saw Yan Xing who was indifferent. She raised her eyebrows slightly and opened her red lips and said.

Of course Yan Xing knew what Pei Shu meant. He smiled and said:

"I was taken out by my father. What can I do? You, worrying about this family's affairs is already tiring enough, so don't worry about this anymore."

"They are all your children. How can I, the eldest mother, not worry? You have been fighting outside, how can you know what's happening in this mansion?"

Pei Shu blinked and talked about the matter in the mansion. She seemed to have many things to talk to Yan Xing, but Yan Xing did not ask questions. Instead, she walked to Pei Shu, gently held her slender shoulders, and said with a smile:

"I've been outside for a long time, so when I returned to the mansion, I felt particularly warm. I've been with you all these days."

Quietly feeling the tenderness of the old couple, Pei Shu rarely acted like a little woman and said lightly:

"You are just a master who can't rest and stay in the house, and you can rest for a while in this big winter."

Speaking of this, Pei Shu seemed to have thought of something again, and then sighed lightly and said:

"But we can't help it. The current world is so chaotic, and the burden on your shoulders is so heavy. Although sometimes I wake up by nightmares at night, I hate you, thinking that you can't leave things behind, but when I calm down and think about it, I know your own difficulties. I have never blamed you, really not."

Yan Xing reached out and hugged his wife, and said softly in her ear:

"It won't be like this in the future. The flowers are blooming next spring. I plan to take you all to Chang'an City so that the whole family can meet and accompany each other for a long time in the future."

Pei Shu heard Yan Xing's words, she was delayed for a moment and said:

"So fast?"

"Yes." Yan Xing nodded and said:

"Sima Lang has managed Chang'an City well. Shusheng and Boyang have led troops to pacify Longyou, Hexi and other places this time. The three auxiliary places have no worries about the west side, the danger of the treasury and the solidity of the golden soup. In March and April, Chang'an City has even grown grass and birds flying, and the willows are green. All industries are flourishing inside and outside the city. The people live and work in peace. Children will also like it when they get there."

Pei Shu didn't answer, and Yan Xing continued:

"Besides, one end is in Chang'an and the other end is in Anyi, plus Luoyang, there is a big river, Taihua and Taolin in the middle. Not only is it delayed in military and political affairs, but I am traveling back and forth like this for a year, and it is not a long-term solution. If a traitor secretly appears on the way, there is a storm or a storm in a boat, and the post office is assassinated, what should I do?"

Seeing Yan Xing say this, Pei Shu finally spoke. She turned around and reached out to stop Yan Xing's mouth and said with a complaint:

"Don't say these nonsense. A gentleman is open-minded and evil avoids the way. How dare you invade?"

Yan Xing smiled and reached out to hold his wife's wrist.

"It's about something or something, and we have to make a decision after all."

Pei Shu blinked her bright eyes, and did not avoid Yan Xing's palm, and said calmly:

"I am a woman and I listen to my husband. But this matter is of great importance. I think I should discuss it carefully with my subordinates."

Yan Xing nodded and smiled:

"This matter is indeed serious. I am planning to go to Luoyang City after spring and discuss it with my brother and others."

Pei Shu nodded slightly and suddenly smiled:

"I have been to Chang'an City, but I have never been to Shanglinyuan of the Emperor. I have read Sima Changqing's "Shanglin Fu" since I was a child, and I have been attracted by the magnificent wonders depicted in his gorgeous poems. Now, thinking about it, I really want to go and see it."

Yan Xing grinned and said:

"Sima Xiangru's words were exaggerated. Perhaps the Shanglin Garden in the former Han Dynasty was really full of atmosphere and magnificent, but today's Shanglin Garden may not be what it is written in the poems."

Pei Shu pouted her mouth and said with a crisp bell-like laughter:

"Then Jia Ji was in danger when she went to the toilet. Feng Jieyu protected the bear, Yuan Gusheng fought against the wild pig, and Li Yu got out of the tiger's mouth. It should be a real story that happened in Shanglinyuan. If he really arrived in Shanglinyuan, I must tell Tong'er some interesting things about the former Han Dynasty."

Yan Xing immediately smiled bitterly.

"How old is Tong'er? Can he understand these stories to him?"

"He is so smart, he is like his mother."

"Hahaha, that's good. When this child grows up, he must be both literary and martial. If he can be as knowledgeable as his mother, then I can worry less."

Speaking of this, Yan Xing stopped laughing and asked:

"There is a family dinner in the mansion tonight, have you invited my younger sister to the mansion?"

Pei Shu also stopped laughing, nodded and said:

"This is naturally. I have sent someone to the mansion for my sister-in-law. She can get along with Aqige, and with Aqige accompanying her, she can have some fun."

Yan Xing nodded. He sometimes thought about this little girl and sometimes was overwhelmed. At this moment, he could only exonerate her and said:

"My little sister has been doting from the clan since she was a child, and she has lost her temper. In addition, she has suffered a lot later. Please take care of her."

Pei Shu pursed her lips slightly, pondered for a while and said:

"I still understand some things. I just heard that you want to leave Boyang in the cold place, and what should I do if my sister-in-law is there?"

Yan Xing thought about it and said:

"In the Liangdi, shortly after Xinding, there are still remnants of the rebels lurking on the side, and people's hearts are not stable; Qiang and Hu respect the strong and despise the old and weak, so a general in the Hexi area also needs to guard the army. Boyang fought several battles before, causing the rebels to lose their armor and put them off their armor. The cool place is the most suitable candidate."

"If my sister likes her, I plan to send her to a cool place. On the one hand, I can return to my hometown and relieve my homesickness. On the other hand, I will have Boyang to accompany me so that I will not be ignorant of people around me."

Pei Shu thought about it, hesitated for a while, and said:

"Then you can ask her about her feelings privately later. After all, she will be able to do this. Otherwise, as brothers and sisters-in-law, we must not force us."

Yan Xing couldn't help laughing. Pei Shu had agreed with Yan Wan's marriage to Yang Feng before, but why did she become particularly worried now?

Seeing that his husband seemed not to take his words to heart, Pei Shu frowned, gently frowned the back of Yan Xing's hand, and complained:
Chapter completed!
