10. The selfishness of my wife and concubine
Yan Xing, who was wrapped in the cold outside the tent, stood in the tent, and the people in the tent either bowed or bowed to the ground, and even sat on the ground in fright, trembling.
Yan Xing looked at Pei Shu and Zhang Rui, and then at his two children, Yan Shuo and Yan Tong, who had grown to four or five years old.
They wore warm and light robes, the stove in the tent exuded warmth, they lived in thick two-story felt tents, and their daily life and diet were taken care of by Fu Mu and maidservants, and some people even worried that they would not be able to sleep at night due to the cold.
Yan Xing looked at their immature faces, thought of himself, thought of Sun Ce and Sima Yi who were repeatedly mentioned today, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
Born in the deep palace and raised in the hands of women, although they have grown up healthier and stronger than ordinary children, it is difficult for them to experience the pain and panic of their father's Chen Cang defeat, and it is difficult for them to understand the despair and helplessness of their father's retrograde march to the south and still encounter the enemy's army.
If they suddenly die in battle like Sun Jian, can they fight hard like Sun Ce, control the arrogant generals and resourceful people, or can they be like Sima Clan.
Yan Xing didn't know, but he knew that the eldest mother of his children could do it.
Pei Shu, who is pampered and plump, has already taken the majesty of her mother and ordered her.
"Pull down this old slave who is vain, whip ten times, and drive him away."
When the maid in the tent heard this, she hurriedly got up and pulled Fu Mu, who had just complained and was so frightened that she was paralyzed on the ground when she met Yan Xing, out of the tent, and several other Fu Mu were also pardoned, and followed behind in a panic and retreated outside the tent.
For a while, only Yan Xing, Pei Shu, Zhang Rui and the two children who were holding their father's thighs were left in the tent.
Yan Xing never spoke, nor did he bend over to pick up the two children.
However, Pei Shu took the lead in breaking the deadlock, just like she can always handle family affairs in an orderly manner, so that others have no way to deal with it, her ability in many aspects far exceeds that of ordinary men, if she is born as a man, her talent may even surpass her brothers.
"Okay, your father is tired after a busy day, don't bother him, come back to your mother. Ah Rui, you serve your husband to change clothes. โ
Pei Shu stretched out her hand and beckoned the two children over, and then motioned for Zhang Rui to step forward to serve Yan Xing, Zhang Rui nodded, smiled, and was about to step forward, but heard Yan Xing say:
"No need. The person who was arrogantly discussing the Venerable just now, the whip is ten, is this law light? โ
Zhang Rui was immediately stunned, she didn't expect Yan Xing to still mind this matter, she stopped, turned to look at Pei Shu, and Pei Shu's face was also embarrassed.
What she just complained about was a Fu Mu she brought from the Pei family, although she was old, she relied on the old and sold the old, and said a few words that should not be said in her identity, but she did her best to take care of her own children on weekdays, and she only said this just now when she cared for her own children.
If Yan Xing is not there, it will be okay to scold, but since he has encountered Yan Xing, he has to be punished slightly. It's just that I didn't expect that today's Yan Xing would still worry about this matter for some reason, if the punishment was heavy, so that Fu Mu would have three longs and two shorts, and in the end it would be her, the housewife, and the people of the Pei family who would lose face.
Zhang Rui also noticed Pei Shu's embarrassment, and had the intention to get out of the encirclement for the female monarch, so she immediately pursed her lips and smiled:
"General, although that Fu Mu is guilty of lying to her, but she is old, let her be spared. After all, she takes care of the general's eldest son, a child of an extraordinary family, and caring about it is chaotic. โ
Yan Xing didn't answer when he heard this, and slowly turned his eyes to look at Zhang Rui.
After feeling the chill in Yan Xing's eyes, Zhang Rui was startled, her face was pale, and she quickly knelt on the ground and said:
"The concubine has no intention of losing her words, please forgive the general!"
As soon as Yan Shuo over there saw his mother kneeling on the ground, he immediately broke free of Pei Shu's arm, trotted in front of Zhang Rui, hugged Zhang Rui and said:
"Mother gets up, the ground is cold. Mother, hurry up. โ
Zhang Rui shook his head and signaled his children not to make a sound, but Yan Shuo still cried unrelentingly, Zhang Rui gritted his teeth, and ruthlessly pressed Yan Shuo to his knees, and said:
"Get down on your knees and don't make a sound."
Yan Shuo, who didn't know what was going on, understood his mother's intentions, and realized that he had not done anything wrong and was being treated roughly by his abnormal mother, and immediately cried.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
"Your good son!"
Yan Shuo's cry resounded in the tent, Yan Xing looked at Pei Shu, saw that she was holding Yan Tong who was about to move, carefully comforted her, sneered, turned around and walked out.
Seeing Yan Xing leave in a negative mood, Zhang Rui didn't dare to get up, nor did he let go of Yan Shuo, who was crying, but turned his head to look at Pei Shu who was standing on the side.
"Lady?"
"Let's get up first."
Pei Shu pulled Yan Tong over, stretched out his hand to help Zhang Rui, Yan Shuo, who had lost his restraints, also stopped crying, jumped up, wiped his tears, and ran to Pei Shu's side to hug her knees, looking at his mother complainingly.
Pei Shu smiled and touched the horn on Xiao Yan Shuo's head to show comfort. Zhang Rui, who stood up over there, pulled his son over with love and anger, and blamed him:
"Give your mother trouble, you see, even your father is angry with you."
"Okay, Arui, don't blame the child, it's not his fault."
"Then, female monarch, do you want to send someone to ask the general to return the account?"
"He may still be angry now, and he won't come back if he invites him, so let's wait for him to dissipate his anger first."
"Ugh." Zhang Rui sighed, nodded, and whispered:
"The general's temper . . .
Pei Shu shook her head and motioned to Zhang Rui not to mention it again. She knows Yan Xing's temper, ordinary people's joys, angers, sorrows, fears, ignorance, and suspicions, he is not lacking at all. Even some forbidden areas in the depths of her heart, even as a wife, she can't touch them at will.
"Maybe it's because the husband is having a hard time fighting a hundred battles, worrying about the inheritance, and he can't see the woman spoiling his sons, so he suddenly gets angry tonight, and it will be fine after a while."
Pei Shu spoke slowly, what she thought in her heart was that her previous dissuading Yan Xing from going east might also be an inducing factor.
"Isn't that going to be a mentor for the kids?"
Zhang Rui's question made Pei Shu's heart move inexplicably, she glanced at Zhang Rui, who was asking, and slowly withdrew her gaze.
Perhaps, it's time to find a suitable teacher for your child.

Yan Xing walked all the way out of Pei Shu's tent, and when his anger gradually subsided, his pace slowed down.
Just looking at the camp that has entered the curfew, I don't know where to turn for a while, and I can't help but feel a sense of loneliness in my heart.
Yan Xing shook his head with a smile, could it be that he was a lonely person, and he unconsciously walked towards the situation of being a lonely person step by step.
After standing in place and thinking for a while, Yan Xing still turned his head and walked towards his big tent.
It's just that on the way, I heard a short piece of piano sound.
"How can there be a sound of piano in the camp?"
Yan Xing stiffened his face and asked coldly.
Seeing this, the guard hurriedly approached and said:
"General, listen to the direction of the voice, it should be from the tent of the Cai family in the back camp."
"Oh."
Yan Xing nodded slightly, didn't ask any more, and continued to take steps. It was only after walking a few feet that he suddenly changed direction and walked in the direction of the low sound of the piano.
"Although it's a back camp, since it's a curfew, I still have to go and see it."
Yan Xing talked to himself and walked quickly towards Cai Yan's tent.
Adjacent to the tent, Yan Xing left his guards outside and walked to the tent door alone.
"Who is it?"
As soon as they approached the tent door, the sound of Yan Xing's footsteps in the dark night immediately alerted the maids in the tent, and they whispered that a bold maid had opened the tent door and looked at the people by the light of the torches outside the tent.
"It's Lonely!"
Yan Xing's voice was very calm, but the maids were still startled when they saw that Yan Xing was in person, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, saluted and said:
"Meet the General!"
"Get up, you haven't fallen asleep yet?"
"Well, everyone just had a dream, and they are restless, and they have already put on their clothes and got up."
Yan Xing didn't answer and approached the tent.
There is a stove in the tent for heating, the warm air flow is lazy, there is a unique fragrance that refreshes people's hearts, Yan Xing saw Cai Yan kneeling behind Suqin at a glance, stretched out his hand to signal that she was about to get up, she didn't have to be polite, looked around the tent a few times, and then found a seat to sit down at random.
"But the concubine's few piano sounds just now disturbed the officers and soldiers in the army?"
Hearing Cai Yan's inquiry, Yan Xing replied with a smile.
"It's okay, it's just a night curfew, and I'm alone here, and I'm here to let you know."
As he spoke, Yan Xing also glanced at Cai Yan's pale cyan wide-sleeved shirt a few more times, only to see that her posture was lazy, without powder, and the white silk belt tied around her waist hung to the ground.
"The concubine was unwell in the army, depressed, and had to talk to herself, which made the general feel strange."
"Everyone's serious."
Yan Xing retracted his gaze and responded softly, what he wanted to say in his heart was not said again.
Cai Yan still complains about his own ideas.
If it was Cai Yan's own thoughts, she should leave here and return to Chen Liu's hometown. It's just that Yan Xing has repeatedly retained, first there is a reason to repair the ancient books left by Cai Yong, and then there are requests from professors Yan Shuo and Yan Tong's sons, although Cai Yan will not think that this hussar general has a bad idea of her like others, but he still has a grudge against being a powerful company.
Without the words he had thought of before, Yan Xing was silent for a while before he suddenly spoke:
"Lone knows that everyone misses Sangzi, although the soldiers can't leave now. But looking at the changes in the situation, maybe in a few years, everyone will be able to revisit their hometown. โ
"I hope so."
Cai Yan just nodded and didn't answer again. Yan Xing originally wanted to get up and leave, but at this time, a guard walked into the tent quickly, came to Yan Xing's side and whispered a message.
"General, there's someone from Madame's side, and I want to ask the general to return to the account."
"Lone knows."
Yan Xing waved his hand and asked the guards to step back, but he suddenly had no intention of getting up.
The guards retreated in embarrassment, but Cai Yan saw it in his eyes, but did not speak.
After a long while, she reminded softly:
"General, it's time to go back."
"It's nothing, I've been working hard for a long time, and I want to sit here quietly for a while."
Speaking of this, Yan Xing suddenly looked at Cai Yan and asked:
"What, everyone wants to drive the lonely away?"
Cai Yan shook his head with a calm smile on his face.
"The general is the hero of the world, Kansai and Kanto, thousands of cities and hundreds of towns, the officials and ministers are not afraid of the authority of the king, the powerful and the leaders of the Qiantou are all asking for the king, and the women and children are not selfish kings, who can still drive away the general, but the general is expected by everyone and has to do it."
"yes."
Yan Xing also smiled. Perhaps, when I first saw Cai Yan, there were no more than a thousand soldiers under his command, and there were only a few generals around him, he was more free than his current self.
But Yan Xing still didn't get up to leave, he said:
"Sit alone for a while, maybe it'll be dawn."
Cai Yan was silent when he heard this, some things, the sky is not clear yet, and some people already know that it will be worse than when it is dark.
"Then the general will talk about it again."
This time Yan Xing did not refuse, Cai Yan asked the maid to increase the candle flame, until the tent was illuminated, she sat calmly next to Suqin, gently flicking the strings.
