ch 154 - Shameless Family; Taking a Trip Alone (7)
“I am the royal commandant and I am here under the emperor’s order. Please pardon our visit!” The middle aged man cupped his hands and greeted Cheng Biyuan politely.
Cheng Biyuan hurried to greet him back, after all, the other party was here under the emperor’s order, “You are too polite. May I ask what is your purpose of visit, Mr. Commandant?”
“Master Cheng, have you forgotten me already?” said the middle-aged man with a smiile.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was quite surprised upon hearing that. What did her father have to do with a royal commandant? She was familiar with the title royal commandant. It was the equivalent of an imperial guard, they were very close to the emperor. One could say it’s the emperor’s most trusted troop.
Nonetheless, Cheng Biyuan smiled bitterly, “Brother Zhou! Pardon me, brother Zhou!”
“No, three years ago you left without bidding me farewell. I felt for sure you have already forgotten all about me!” Zhou Jinjiang seemed a little bit displeased and his tone a little bit stiff.1
“I am sorry, brother Zhou, back then….”
“Hrm, if I wasn’t so busy with my missions, I would have looked for you way before now. Well, I didn’t think you guys would have caused such a ruckus. That had certainly saved me the hassle of seeking you out!”
Zhou Jinjiang casted him a look then turned and looked at the Cheng’s brother and sister and said, “Xiao Xiao, Zheng Yuan, you two didn’t forget about your Uncle Zhou in the last three years now, did you?”
“Uncle Zhou?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao. She truly didn’t remember him. She wasn’t the original owner after all.
Cheng Zheng Yuan obediently called him, “How have you been, Uncle Zhou?”
“Good, good. Zheng Bin and Lan Lan have all grown up too!” Zhou Jinjiang smiled at the two children in front of him.
Cheng Zheng Bin seemed to recall a little bit about him and called out, “Uncle Zhou, Zheng Bin remembers you. You’ve bought me a wooden sword as a gift!”
“Ho ho, Zheng Bin has such good memory!” smiled Zhou Jinjiang happily.
