The Experiment Was Successful
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?”
“Master, Shi Mu, a group of people had arrived. I think they are with Deacon Bai!”
“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 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 him 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.
But when he tried the Cheng’s iced tea, a surprised look appeared on his face and he couldn’t help but to ask, “Master Cheng what kind of herb have you added to the iced tea? It was so smooth and comforting!”
“HOHOHO….” laughed Cheng Biyuan. ”You are right, we added some flower petals in the tea. The iced floral tea was my eldest daughter’s invention.”
“Iced floral tea. Excellent, there’s floral flavor in the tea, along with a hint of sweetness. It seemed complicated for iced tea, yet so tasty. This is wonderful!” said Zhu Xiangyu after a few more serious sips.
Cheng Biyuan merely smiled at his comment. He had a pretty good idea about the popularity of their iced tea.
Jokes aside, the quality of these floral flavor was fit for tribute for the royals!
After two cups of iced tea, Zhu Xiangyu looked around and it had just occurred to him that a very important person was missing. He couldn’t help but to ask, “Master Cheng, how come I haven’t met elder Miss Cheng yet? Was she avoiding me on purpose because she didn’t want to be introduced?”
“Ah, you are funny, young master Zhu!” Cheng Biyuan put down his cup and explained in a soft voice, “Young master Zhu came at an inopportune time. Xiao Xiao left this morning on a trip and won’t be back for a few days!”
“What? Elder Miss Cheng went on a trip?"
Zhu Xiangyu frowned lightly. That was surprising. Meeting elder Miss Cheng was the real purpose of his visit. He didn’t expect her leaving on a trip.
“My daughter wanted to go around and visit the nearby towns. Everyone at the Cheng’s are aware of that, we have no reason to lie to young master Zhu!”
Upon hearing Cheng Biyuan’s explanation, Zhu Xiangyu couldn’t help but glanced over at Innkeeper Zhu.
Sensing the young master’s look, he nodded subtly, confirming the words of Cheng Biyuan.
Zhu Xiangyu smiled and produced a fan. Fanning himself gently, he asked, “Master Cheng, I brought with me items that the Cheng’s need, you can check them in, but…”
He paused when he got here, then said, “As for the items specifically requested by elder Miss Cheng, I’d like to give them to her in person, I wonder if that will be okay with you?”
“Oh?” Cheng Biyuan glanced over at him and said, “Young master Zhu, this house is old and broken, it’d be disrespectful to offer for you to stay here. Do you plan on returning in a few days?”
“Master Cheng is being funny. This is the foothill of Mt. Wanan, well-known for its scenery. I plan on hanging out here for a few days and take a look around while waiting for elder Miss Cheng’s return. Of course, it’s not necessary for Master Cheng to arrange for dwelling for me. If you will just provide me with three meals a day, I will be very grateful!”
It was obvious that he intention was to stay at their place, that was another surprised for Cheng Biyuan. Of course, he wouldn’t turn him down either. No matter what Zhu Xiangyu’s purpose was, he was not worried.
Smiling, he responded, “Young master Zhu must be joking, as long as young master Zhu doesn’t mind our simple meals, of course you are welcomed to stay here!”
“HAHAHA….”
Zhu Xiangyu clapped and laughed, “Awesome, Master Cheng. In that case, I will stay and bother you. Deacon Bai and his men will unload the goods and take off. We won’t let me become any additional burden for Master Cheng, HAHAHAHA….”
“Young master Zhu is so funny, we can still afford a meal for everyone!”
Zhu Xiangyu stayed behind and Deacon Bai took his men and returned to the city of Daling. Accompanied by Cheng Biyuan, Zhu Xiangyu got to tour around the Cheng’s new resident. Even for someone as refine as the young master Zhu, he couldn’t help but to praise non-stop how beautiful this new house was.
