The daily routine of the mistress of the Hou family training her husband

Chapter 136 No more face
For the entire morning, Xu Shuhe was a little absent-minded because of Chen Zhi's kiss.

I can’t describe the feeling. I feel a little confused and a little embarrassed.

It was like when I was in school, a boy I had a crush on teased me in an overly intimate way.

That scene was imprinted in her mind and could not be shaken off. No matter what she was doing, it would always pop up in her mind suddenly, making her feel uneasy.

As soon as Lin Hui and Lin Jin came to discuss the co-branded clothing with Xu Shuhe, they found that she was a little absent-minded today.

"Aunt, look at what's wrong with her today. She's always distracted." Lin Jin complained in a low voice.

Compared to the love-less Lin Jinyi, Lin Hui, as an experienced person, naturally saw through Xu Shuhe's condition at this time. She smiled gently and spoke with a slightly teasing tone.

"Red beans grow in the south. In spring, they sprout a few branches. I urge you to pick more. This is the best thing."

"Lovesickness!" Lin Jin answered unconsciously, and then burst out laughing.

The movement of the two people finally pulled Xu Shuhe out of her own little world, and she looked at them in confusion.

"What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you for being absent-minded. Could it be that even though you are here, your mind has already drifted to the Dali Temple?" Lin Jinyi immediately joked.

Xu Shuhe's face suddenly felt hot and he immediately reached out to scratch Lin Jinyi's waist.

"You bad girl, how dare you laugh at me? When you get married someday, I'll see if you blush!"

"I won't get married. I'll stay at home and be an old maid forever!"

Lin Jinyi dodged with a smile, then tried to tickle her with his backhand.

The two girls were making a lot of noise, and Lin Hui was watching from the side with a smile on her face.

After all the fuss, Xu Shuhe finally remembered something, "Aunt, why didn't Ling'er come today?"

The little girl Zhou Ling usually likes to come and play with her the most.

"Boss Tian's daughter is having a birthday and he has invited her to the banquet. Our family has been doing a lot of business with the Tian family this year, so it would be inappropriate for us to refuse," Lin Hui replied.

"What kind of business does the Tian family do?" Xu Shuhe asked casually.

"A blacksmith shop." Lin Hui replied, "There aren't many blacksmith shops or ironware shops in the city. Although the Tian family only came to the capital three or four years ago, they have good skills and quickly established themselves."

After chatting for a few words, everyone turned their attention back to the business.

The new product will be launched soon, and Xu Shuhe is afraid of making mistakes and ruining the reputation he has worked so hard to build, so he is being extra careful.

After Lin Jinyi and Lin Hui left, he checked everything again by himself.

It was already dark when we left the store.

As soon as I got on the carriage, I heard Xinyue muttering.

"Young lady, you have worked too hard. If you go back at this time, it will be past dinner time. If you keep doing this, your spleen and stomach will be damaged. When the lady comes back, she will be distressed and say that we did not serve her well."

"Don't worry, I also had some snacks, so I'm not hungry." Xu Shuhe said.

Meixiang smiled and said, "I'm just worried that you're not hungry. There are people at home who are hungry and waiting for you to come back and have a meal together!"

It was obvious who she was talking about. The atmosphere immediately became lively after the joke. Xinyue also joined in the joke, which made Xu Shuhe feel embarrassed and annoyed.

However, when I mention Chen Zhi and think about what happened in the morning, I really don’t know how I should get along with him later.

But what she didn't expect was that when she returned home, she didn't see Chen Zhi at all.

Just when it was strange, Zhang Ping came to deliver the message.

It was said that there were several urgent cases coming to the yamen today, and Chen Zhi was called to take notes. He might be back late today, so he told Xu Shuhe not to wait for him and to go to bed early after dinner.

Hearing this, Xu Shuhe felt a little empty inside, but he didn't say anything. Chen Zhi didn't come back until bedtime that night, and Xu Shuhe had insomnia.

After a lot of tossing and turning, I finally fell asleep.

Chen Zhi came back at night. Thinking of not disturbing Xu Shuhe's rest, he rested directly in the front yard. He got up early the next morning and went to the yamen.

As a result, the two of them never met each other.

I thought it would only be this day, but I never expected that the two of them didn't see each other for the next six or seven days.

The latest case was related to human abduction and female gibberish. Although several people were arrested, the ringleader was not caught. If we want to solve the case and rescue the abducted women and children, we have to continue the investigation.

Chen Zhi was assigned to work with Si Zhi, who was in charge of a case.

This kind of work is quite tiring and the old clerks are not willing to do it, so most of it will be assigned to newcomers like Chen Zhi.

Because Chen Zhi had performed very well in the trial of the corruption case, his superiors did not intend to ask him to go through this hardship. However, when Chen Zhi learned that the place to investigate the case was on the outskirts of the city and close to the royal hunting grounds, he volunteered to go.

It just so happened that he didn't have the time and opportunity to go to the outskirts of the city to investigate the situation, so it would be much more reasonable for him to go there under the pretext of investigating a case.

However, the final outcome of this matter is still unknown, so he doesn't plan to tell Xu Shuhe for the time being.

It's not that because of some variables in this life, things have become different from before. The Sixth Prince has no intention of murdering the Crown Prince, so it would be too weird for him to bring it up rashly.

He didn't want to be considered a weirdo.

But precisely because he didn't say it, Xu Shuhe felt more and more unhappy.

What's the fuss about?
After kissing her, you hide away and disappear from people?
Do you regret it or do you feel ashamed to face her?

It's not a pleasant feeling to feel a little excited but suddenly be played away by the other party, as if you were being played a trick.

One or two days is still calm, three or four days is still bearable, five or six days is
"Throw these things in the front yard."

Xu Shuhe Lengleng pointed at the pile of Chen Zhi's clothes that she had pulled out of the room.

"This..." Meixiang and Xinyue looked at each other.

"If you don't throw it in the front yard, just throw it away." Xu Shuhe snorted, "I'm going to the shop now. I'll take care of it before I come back."

The two maids thought that the young master had not come back for so long, and now he must have been mad.

I'm afraid there will be another fight when I come back.

Not wanting to bring bad luck, Xinyue and Meixiang quickly packed up Chen Zhi's things and moved them to the front.

Chen Zhi had no idea that he had gotten into trouble, and in between his work, he quietly wandered around the royal hunting grounds.

This trip really allowed him to discover some clues.

There are many hunters hunting large wild animals together on the outskirts of this hunting ground. From their conversation, it seems that the more ferocious the beast, the better.

Chen Zhi went up to inquire about it and learned from them that someone was offering them a high price to buy a ferocious beast. They wanted a strong and healthy one, preferably one without any injuries, preferably a bear.

This was very strange, so Chen Zhi asked the other party what he wanted to do with the beast. The hunter only replied that he wanted to buy it as a gift or to keep it in captivity for amusement.

Many dignitaries do have this kind of hobby.

However, it seems that no noble or wealthy businessman in the capital city likes this kind of thing. After all, buying a strong live bear is not cheap. The other party who is worthy of such flattery must not be a simple person.

What if these beasts have other uses?

For example, used to hurt people.

Chen Zhi had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure. He just silently took note of this anomaly and continued to look for other clues.
