Chapter 492: Thick-skinned
Therefore, from the very beginning, she knew that the relationship among the members of the main family was very good and although Madam didn't say it, she was the most attentive.
But tonight, when Madam came back early and went straight to her room, she realized that Madam might not be in a good mood.
Zhang Shu was puzzled, "I didn't see Madam's expression change from start to finish, so she shouldn't be in a bad mood."
"The matter in the old courtyard is simple, it should be about Miss Qingxiang's marriage."
"I didn't hear any quarrels and Madam has never bullied me in the past."
Hu Shi gave her husband a disdainful look "With your thick skin, it's strange that you can even tell when Madam's mood is off."
Zhang Shu felt a bit insulted and was even more confused. After a while, he stammered, "Could it be that you've misunderstood?"
"Do you think I'm as dumb as you?" Hu Shi pushed him away disdainfully. "Go to the courtyard and turn over the ink blocks, and the dried vegetables can also be turned over."
"You're becoming more and more fierce. You're always speaking in half sentences now. If you don't explain clearly to me, how would I know what's going on?" Zhang Shu muttered quietly. He had grown accustomed to his wife's changes in character since she had been with Madam for a long time. He wasn't a picky person by nature, but he couldn't help but grumble a bit and then obediently turned to do his chores in the courtyard.
Compared to guessing people's thoughts, he felt that doing chores was simpler.
Hu Shi was startled, realizing her own change in character. She suddenly showed a faint smile on her face.
After thinking for a moment, she called Zhang Shu to fetch two bowls of milk from the well.
She then called Zhang Shu to inform the master when he returned.
Ye Muyu was oblivious to the actions of the couple. She was immersed in her own emotions, sewing diligently, completely ignoring what was happening outside the window.
About two quarters of an hour later,
The sky was getting dark.
The sound of a carriage could be heard at the gate of the courtyard.
Zhang Shu quickly went to the door, opened it, and went forward to hold the reins.
Luchuan jumped down from the carriage first.
He was followed closely by Chu Heng.
"Master, Hu Shi asked you to go to the kitchen, there's something to report." Zhang Shu whispered.
Chu Heng's eyes twitched slightly and he turned to look at him. "But is there something wrong at home?"
"In the afternoon, Madam was called to the old courtyard and I guess it's related to Miss Qingxiang's marriage." Zhang Shu answered honestly.
Luchuan suddenly remembered the information he had gathered from the county today.
He subconsciously looked at Chu Heng.
Chu Heng nodded to him and calmly instructed, "Go to the old courtyard."
"Yes." Luchuan handed the book box to Zhang Shu and thanked him before turning to head towards the old courtyard.
Zhang Shu wasn't curious at all and obediently went about his own tasks.
Chu Heng walked into the courtyard and glanced at the east wing room. The window was only three-quarters open and he couldn't see anything inside.
Without hesitation, he quickly entered the kitchen.
Hu Shi saw Chu Heng and hurriedly bowed.
Chu Heng asked directly, "What's the matter?"
"Master, it's like this. I suspect that Madam might be in a bad mood, so I thought that only the master could make her happy. Previously, Madam taught me how to make a kind of pastry called steamed sugar cake." She didn't directly suggest that Chu Heng make it himself even though she knew that Madam and the master had a good relationship. However, she didn't know Chu Heng's temperament very well and she was even more respectful towards him in daily life.
Chu Heng understood Hu Shi's meaning and was very satisfied with her suggestion. He asked, "How do you make it?"
With a hint of surprise in her eyes, Hu Shi quickly approached and pointed to the ingredients she had prepared in advance.
