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 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 .
