Capítulo 2008: Chapter 2008:
The crowd didn’t know what was happening; they all knelt on the ground, craning their necks to look…
“What are you looking at? You useless things, hurry back to the mansion and serve tea for the Master.” Before entering the mansion, Celestial Master Zhang shouted at the servants on the ground, then hurriedly chased after the man in black.
To welco today’s noble guest, all of the Celestial Master’s Mansion’s servants had gathered at the main entrance; there wasn’t a single person inside the mansion.
Upon hearing this, the steward quickly got up from the ground and said to the other servants, “Why are you still standing there dumbly? Didn’t you hear what the Celestial Master said? Hurry back to attend to the noble guest.”
“Yes, yes.”
The servants imdiately stood up and rushed back into the mansion like a swarm, fearing that if they lingered, the steward would catch them and they’d be scolded.
“Oh dear! You little troublemakers, be careful not to trample the flower beds. If you ruin the madam’s flowers, you’ll regret it when I tear your skin off.” Watching from behind, the steward’s heart was racing; not a single servant in the mansion could set his mind at ease.
The hall.
The man in black paced back and forth, looking displeased.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Celestial Master Zhang, puzzled, didn’t understand why his master’s expression had turned so irritable.
The man in black spoke in a cold voice, “Where is your study?”
Celestial Master Zhang pointed his hand toward the east: “Reporting to Master, the study is over there, roughly fifty ters from here.”
“Take there.”
“Master, it’s too narrow there; I’m afraid it would inconvenience you.”
“No problem, I enjoy solitude; let’s go.”
“Yes.”
The master was tightly wrapped; Celestial Master Zhang found it very strange. However, the master’s temperant was peculiar and petty. A slight disagreent could lead to a three-month silence, so he dared not ask.
“Master, please follow .”
Celestial Master Zhang led the way in front, taking the man in black into the study.
The steward carrying a tray approached with the maid and happened to see their backs entering the study. He couldn’t help but awkwardly say, “Oh! The Celestial Master has brought the noble guest to the study. Should we bring the tea in or not?”
The maid was also confused. The study was an important place; normally, the Celestial Master didn’t allow them to enter. Even cleaning had specialists in charge; ordinary servants couldn’t even get close.
“What should we do?”
The steward anxiously paced back and forth.
At that mont, the Wife of the Celestial Master ca over with several maids. Seeing the steward’s anxious expression, she was very curious and walked over to ask, “Steward, what’s going on?”
Hearing the voice, the steward turned around and saw the madam. He quickly greeted, “Good day, madam.”
Lady Zhang furrowed her delicate brows and asked, “Why are you pacing here?”
The steward said with difficulty, “The Celestial Master and the noble guest went into the study; I’m hesitating and don’t know what to do. If we go in, I’m afraid of breaking the rules and making the Celestial Master unhappy. If we don’t go in, I’m afraid the Celestial Master will scold us servants for not understanding the rules, especially when a noble guest arrives, and we don’t even have a cup of hot tea.”
“Alright, you don’t have to worry. Leave it to , and I’ll bring it in for you.”
Celestial Master Zhang always said that his master was a Hermit Expert with amazing skills. Lady Zhang had always wanted to see for herself. Today, it was her first ti seeing him, yet she hadn’t clearly seen his features. Now she had the opportunity to openly explore the study, so she couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted.
Upon hearing this, the steward was overjoyed: “Oh my! Madam, you’re too kind, solving this problem for us.”
After speaking, he said to the maid behind him, “Give the tray to the madam.”
