Chapter 8 Serve me in the bath
The father and son chattered all the way, talking about family affairs and state affairs, and soon returned to the house.
Yang Xi's mother, Pei Rou, had already heard the report of the subordinates first, saying that Yang Xi had returned from Tongguan, and regardless of her own health, she ordered her subordinates to support her and welcome her to the gate of the mansion. As soon as he saw Yang Xi, he cried with tears and snot, which made Yang Xi very embarrassed and at a loss.
Yang Guozhong is similar, there is nothing he can do in the face of his wife's mischief, the father and son can only accompany the smiling face, and persuade Pei Rou to stop worrying. Yang Xuan, Yang Yan and Yang Xiao, who heard the news and returned home first, were also comforting on the side.
In the end, in the trembling of the subordinates, Pei Rou finally calmed down and burst into laughter. took Yang Xi's hand, looked up and down carefully, and after making sure that Yang Xi didn't bump into it, he pulled Yang Xi to his room, reprimanded him in a whisper and expressed his love.
Pei Rou's "prestige" in the Wei Mansion is very high, which has been fully reflected just now.
But Yang Xi always felt weird, shouldn't things be like this?
He vaguely knew some things, such as his mother's background didn't seem to be very noble, and there were some heart-rending rumors about his own background. But he couldn't figure it out, and he could only "agree" with everything he saw now.
In the end, under Yang Guozhong's "righteousness", Yang Xi's repeated explanations and assurances, and the singing and harmony of the other three sons, Pei Rou reluctantly accepted the fact that Yang Xi continued to lead the army in Tongguan, but repeatedly told Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi that there must be no mistakes, and that the security forces around Yang Xi should be strengthened, otherwise she would go directly to the palace to find the emperor, plead with the emperor, and summon Yang Xi back to Chang'an.
Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi could only agree one by one, Yang Xi promised in front of his parents and three brothers that he would never come back with a piece of meat, let alone lose his life, Pei Rou didn't say anything to blame, just took Yang Xi's hand and inquired about the situation in Tongguan for a long time, Yang Xi could only pick it up and say, almost saying that he went to Tongguan for tourism, not for war.
In the end, the last bit of lingering in Pei Rou's heart was eliminated, and it became a happy place.
Yang Xi's three elder brothers, Yang Xuan, Yang Hao, and Yang Xiao, showed great affection for Yang Xi in front of Yang Guozhong and Pei Rou, and sincerely admired his ability. But Yang Xi also felt their "hypocrisy" from the words and deeds of several elder brothers, and what the three elder brothers said was insincere. Especially the eldest brother Yang Xuan and the second brother Yang Xuan, intentionally or unintentionally showed a jealous look, which made Yang Xi feel uncomfortable.
He felt that this family was a bit "demonic", and guessed that there must be some secret hidden in it.
He didn't look too much like his three elder brothers, and he didn't look very much like Yang Guozhong, but he didn't dare to guess.
In the end, Pei Rou ordered Yang Guozhong, Yang Xuan, Yang Hao, and Yang Xiao to stop chattering about Yang Xi on the grounds that Yang Xi was working too hard these days, and let the youngest son go back to the house to rest for a while, and cook some delicious food in the evening, and the family would be lively together to comfort Yang Xi.
When Yang Xi said goodbye as instructed and was about to go back to the room to rest, Yang Guozhong quietly instructed him not to worry about things first, and not to care about his mother's anger, but to go back to the house and sleep well, and discuss after resting about anything.
Of course, Yang Xi will not object, he is indeed quite tired, and he really wants to put aside all his worries and sleep well.

"Fourth son, you're finally back home!" Ping'er, the little girl who was guarding the door of the small courtyard and had been waiting for Yang Xi to return to the house, saw Yang Xi appear in the field of vision, and immediately greeted her, grabbed Yang Xi's arm, and said very distressedly: "Fourth son, these days you are on the front line of Tongguan, the slave and maid have been worried, afraid that you will have any accidents." Knowing that you are okay and returning safely, the slave doesn't know how happy she is!"
"Ping'er, I'm fine!" Ping'er's intimate action made Yang Xi a little uncomfortable, but after walking into his own yard and no one else saw it, he immediately calmed down. The spontaneous familiarity and intimacy with Ping'er made him immediately relax and enjoy the strange feeling brought by physical contact with the little beauty. In ancient times, it was really good to be a gentleman, and the people who served around him were so beautiful.
Ping'er is quite tall and looks very beautiful, Yang Xi vaguely remembers that a certain beauty star surnamed Fan in later generations is a little similar to Ping'er, but Ping'er looks much younger, more pure and cute. A pure and lovely little girl will always make men like more.
Ping'er should be fourteen years old this year, and her figure has not developed badly, and she looks bumpy when she wears few clothes in summer, but it may be because her development is not completely over, and she is a little less rounded. I believe that in another year or two, it will become more lovely and attract more and more men's attention.
"Fourth son, you have lost a lot of weight," after entering the house, Ping'er looked at Yang Xi for a while, and said very distressedly: "Fourth son, you must be very hard in Tongguan, and no one will take care of you, or you will bring the slave and maid to Tongguan and let the slave and maid take care of your daily life, okay?" ”
Yang Xi disappeared inexplicably, and was finally told that he had arrived at Tongguan and commanded the battle.
This made Ping'er frightened and heartbroken, Yang Xi is the hope of her life, if Yang Xi has any accidents, what should she do?
It can be said that she has not slept well at night these days, and often dreams that Yang Xi has an accident and stands in front of her bloodily.
After hearing that Yang Xi returned safely today, I don't know how happy I am. When Yang Xi was pulled away by Pei Rou just now, she hid to the side and watched, and she couldn't wait to go over and jump into Yang Xi's arms and cry, but she was afraid that her mother would punish her, so she held back, and finally returned to the gate of the small courtyard to wait.
Yang Xi stayed in Pei Rou's house for a long time, and Ping'er also stayed at the gate of the small courtyard for the same amount of time. It wasn't until Yang Xi appeared in the field of vision that her hanging heart relaxed, and she was indescribably happy in her heart, and she immediately made such a request.
"How can that be!" Yang Xi naturally reached out and pinched Ping'er's beautiful nose, "How can there be a woman in the army?" If I take you there, everyone in the army will laugh at me, and even if I am the marshal of the army, I will be punished by the emperor! Don't worry, this son Ji people have their own natural appearance, and nothing will happen. When the fighting subsides, I will return safely!"
After only a while, Yang Xi "found" a certain feeling, the feeling of intimacy with Ping'er, he reached out and pinched Ping'er's nose was not unnatural at all, and the scene of taking advantage of Ping'er many times in his predecessor also appeared in his mind, making him sigh.
"crossed" and "replaced" the previous Yang Xi, and he had to accept everything in his predecessor, including his lifestyle, including the people around him. When it comes, you should adapt to the life of whatever era, whether you feel uncomfortable or not, you must adapt to it.
Ping'er knew that Yang Xi was comforting her, and she also knew that it was impossible for her son-in-law to take her to Tongguan, but after hearing Yang Xi say this, her heart was still gloomy, and tears rolled down unconsciously. She also knew that Yang Xi still had to go back to Tongguan, and she didn't know when she would be able to come back.
In the days when Yang Xi went to command the men and horses to fight, she didn't know how she should live.
Seeing Ping'er's tears, Yang Xi's heart warmed, and she reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Ping'er's eyes, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, I said it was okay, and you are still crying!" Childe, I'm tired and want to sleep after taking a bath, you can serve me in the bath!"
