ch 169 â The Experiment Was Successful; Wandered Into Thievesâ Den (2)
But when he tried the Chengâs iced tea, a surprised look appeared on his face and he couldnât help but to ask, âMaster Cheng what kind of herb have you added to the iced tea? It was so smooth and comforting!â
âHOHOHOâŠ.â laughed Cheng Biyuan. âYou are right, we added some flower pedals in the team. The iced floral tea was my eldest daughterâs invention. Pardon us!â
âIced floral tea. Excellent, thereâs floral flavor in the team, along with a hint of sweetness. It seemed complicated for iced tea, yet so tasty. This is wonderful!â 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 couldnât help but to ask, âMaster Cheng, how come I havenât met elder Miss Cheng yet? Was she avoiding me on purpose because she didnât want to be introduced?â
âAh, you are funny, young master Zhu!â Cheng Biyuan put down his cup and explained in a soft voice, âYoung master Zhu came at an inopportune time. Xiao Xiao left this morning on a trip and wonât be back for a few days!â
âWhat? Elder Miss Cheng went on a trip?â1
Zhu Xiangyu frowned lightly. That was surprising. Meeting elder Miss Cheng was the real purpose of his visit. He didnât expect her leaving on a trip.
âMy daughter wanted to go around and visit the nearby towns. Everyone at the Chengâs are aware of that, we have no reason to lie to young master Zhu!â
Upon hearing Cheng Biyuanâs explanation, Zhu Xiangyu couldnât help but glanced over at Innkeeper Zhu.
Sensing the young masterâs look, he nodded subtly, confirming the words of Cheng Biyuan.
Zhu Xiangyu smiled and produced a fan. Fanning himself gently, he asked, âMaster Cheng, I brought with me items that the Chengâs need, you can check them in, butâŠâ
He paused when he got here, then said, âAs for the items specifically requested by elder Miss Cheng, Iâd like to give them to her in person, I wonder if that will be okay with you?â
âOh?â Cheng Biyuan glanced over at him and said, âYoung master Zhu, this house is old and broken, itâd be disrespectful to offer for you to stay here. Do you plan on returning in a few days?â
âMaster 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 Chengâs return. Of course, itâs 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!â
It was obvious that he intention was to stay at their place, that was another surprised for Cheng Biyuan. Of course, he wouldnât turn him down either. No matter what Zhu Xiangyuâs purpose was, he was not worried.
Smiling, he responded, âYoung master Zhu must be joking, as long as young master Zhu doesnât mind our simple meals, of course you are welcomed to stay here!â
âHAHAHAâŠ.â
Zhu Xiangyu clapped and laughed, âAwesome, Master Cheng. In that case, I will stay and bother you. Deacon Bai and his men will unload the goods and take off. We wonât let me become any additional burden for Master Cheng, HAHAHAHAâŠ.â
âYoung master Zhu is so funny, we can still afford a meal for everyone!â
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 Chengâs new resident. Even for someone as refine as the young master Zhu, he couldnât help but to praise non-stop how beautiful this new house was.
