When the Cheng’s didn’t find Cheng Xiao Xiao after they woke up, they
understood that she had already taken off.
The Cheng’s father and brothers were fine, but Mrs. Cheng was
apparently in a foul mood and didn’t even want to have breakfast. It was as
though her spirit had left with her daughter.
Cheng Biyuan wasn’t sure what he could say, so instead going to
supervise the construction, he stayed behind to sit in the courtyard with her.
The two of them sat and chitchatted in the courtyard and before long,
Liu Danhuang hurried in. Cheng Biyuan was surprised by that and asked,
“Danhuang, what happened?”
“Deacon Bai?”
Cheng Biyuan immediately thought of Zhu Bo, whom they have met once
before. The items that he promised had yet to be delivered, were they here to
make the delivery?
“Okay, let’s go take a look!” said Cheng Biyuan as he walked out of
the courtyard.
Sure enough, not far from his house he could see a troop of men on
horses approaching. And he could also tell the horse-drawn carriages carried a
lot of stuff in them.
Cheng Biyuan was secretly happy. Right they they are in dire need of
many items, this could have came at a better time!
A familiar
face quickly came up front, it was indeed Deacon Bai who led the group. But
when he saw the other strange face, he was take aback a little by surprise.
This young
man look exactly like the lord of Green Mountain Manor, he must be the lord’s
son. Cheng Biyuan hadn’t expected the lord to send his own son to deliver the
items.
“Master
Cheng, long time no see!” greeted Deacon Bai with cupped hands.
Cheng Biyuan
greeted hi as well and asked, “It had been quite a few days. How have you been,
Deacon Bai?”
“I am fine.
Thank you for asking, Master Cheng!” smiled Deacon Bai, then, immediately, he
introduced the one next to him, “Master Cheng, this is our young master, Young
Master Zhu!”
“Hi, I am
Zhu Xiangyu. Greetings, Master Cheng!” Zhu XIangyu examined Cheng Biyuan with
interest as he cupped his hands and greeted him nonchalantly.
Even though
he was being very polite, Cheng Biyuan could still sense a hint of pride. But
that didn’t bother him, it was natural for younglings to have some pride,
especially the ones with great accomplishments and talents.
As the
successor of Green Mountain Manor, surely he has the conditions to be a bit
prideful. Cheng Biyuan cupped his hand in return and said politely, “Young
master Zhu is so polite. Young master Zhu came in person, pardon us for not
meeting you far out!”
“No worries,
no worries!”
After the
exchanges, Cheng Biyuan led them into their courtyard. Afterall, the new
resident was still under construction and they could only entertain guests at
their old house.
Young master
Zhu entered the courtyard and saw the simple and crude structures. He didn’t
think poorly of them, afterall, regardless of what their standing was in the
past, right now they have status that nobody could look down upon.
Not to
mention that Cheng Biyuan now have the title of a count, Zhu Xiangyu dare not
look at him differently.
Mrs. Cheng
returned back into the house, leaving just the few of them in the courtyard.
Innkeeper Zhu was attracted by the noises. He was both surprised and excited
when he saw that the young master has came in person.
Especially
after noticing the approval look that the young master was giving him,
Innkeeper Zhu couldn’t stop smiling. Afterall, that was the whole purpose of
serving their master and doing the best they could.
Soon, the
maids brought over iced teas. For someone like Zhu Xiangyu, having iced tea in
the summer time was not something special, so he wasn’t surprised by the fact
that they have iced tea.
