After Dressing Up As a Little Fulang

Chapter 12 - Reward (1)



An Yun and Xiao Cui tried it. After An Yun was sure that the taste was better than what he remembered, he happily filled a bottle and sent them next door.

On the way there, both of them were very happy.

An Yun was happy that his bayberry wine had been made, and Xiao Cui was happy when she saw An Yun happy, and she unconsciously became happy too.

The two of them walked briskly to the door. An Yun found that the attendant at the door was a bit strange. He seemed to be a newcomer he had never seen before.

An Yun stopped subconsciously, thought about it, and decided to be more cautious. This time he did not go in by himself, but handed it over to the guard guarding the door, asking him to help him hand it over to the young master when he came back.

The guard at the door did not immediately agree to his request. Instead, he looked at An Yun and Xiao Cui for a long time. Before Xiao Cui was so scared and almost shrank behind An Yun, the guard reached out to take the things from An Yun’s hand and promised to help transfer them.

Upon seeing this, An Yun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left with Xiao Cui.

Until An Yun left, the guard who had been standing upright just now glanced at the thing in his hand, immediately turned around, and walked inside. Soon the bottle containing bayberry wine was placed on Zang Ya’s table.

An Yun handed the things to the guard at the gate, turned around, and returned to his yard, feeling relieved.

The guards in the young master’s yard were very majestic before, but he felt they were not as oppressive as they had been now, giving him the illusion that he was being scrutinized up and down by them.

When An Yun sighed, there was also a long sigh from beside him, filled with a bit of fear for the rest of her life.

An Yun turned around and saw the person sighing next to him was Xiao Cui. She was patting her chest at this time, as if she had been frightened just now.

When An Yun saw her like this, the strange feeling in his heart immediately dissipated, and he couldn’t help teasing her, “The guard just now didn’t look particularly scary. Why were you so afraid?”

Xiao Cui didn’t know, but she still said based on her feeling, “I don’t know either, I just think the way he stares at me is a bit scary. It’s scary.”

Hearing this, An Yun thought carefully about the process of contact with the guard just now and nodded in agreement with her statement, “You are right, he seemed a little scary. However, I just discovered that there seemed to be many new faces in the young master’s yard. Does the mansion implement a job rotation system?”

Speaking of this, An Yun suddenly thought of the abnormality he had seen outside the young master’s yard that day and vaguely wondered if it might be related to that.

Xiao Cui didn’t understand what An Yun was talking about. When he asked, she could only look at him with her big dark eyes.

Only then did An Yun react and quickly explained the meaning of this rotation system.

Xiao Cui shook her head, with a bit of doubt in her tone, “Fulang, are you mistaken? The servants in this yard had their own rules for what they could do, what they should do, and what they were doing. Those people would not rotate easily.”

When An Yun heard what she said, he felt it made sense. In such a large mansion, personnel changes would not be easy. Otherwise, if personnel changed too quickly and criminals were mixed in, wouldn’t it be difficult to identify them?

As for why Chef Ding was transferred out of the mansion so easily, An Yun feared it was because he was a cook, and if he couldn’t make delicious food, he would naturally be replaced. It was a high-risk replacement occupation.

An Yun stopped thinking about it and soon began to look forward to Zang Ya’s reaction after receiving his bayberry wine.

Although An Yun had spent all his time in survival and study in his previous life, during his part-time work in a restaurant, he would watch a few costume dramas with the proprietress.

He had seen the ancient nobles above were particularly generous, such as Jia Baoyu in the Red Mansion. When the people below did something that made him happy, he would randomly reward them with golden beans, golden leaves, and at worst, silver ingots.

An Yun thought, since the young master could let his servants make his living place so luxurious, he would definitely not be stingy in rewards.

If the young master gave him these things, then he could have his own small treasury, and the money he saved could be used as his own starting capital.

An Yun became extremely excited because of the anticipation in his heart. Even as he cleaned up the remaining remains of bayberry mash, he couldn’t help but glance at the door from time to time, expecting the young master to send someone to give him a reward.

But after waiting until An Yun and Xiao Cui put everything away and he asked Xiao Cui to take back the remaining lees and distribute them to everyone, An Yun still didn’t receive the reward from the young master.

An Yun’s mood changed from excitement at the beginning to depression and anxiety later on, and finally to disappointment and annoyance. Perhaps his little cleverness was not enough in this era, and he had overestimated himself.

After all, the ancients simply did not accumulate enough knowledge, and their methods of advancement were different from modern times. However, in many things, they were more advanced compared to modern times.

Even in modern times, modern technology could not fully replicate those unearthed cultural relics. The exquisite craftsmanship and even the most sophisticated high-tech could not be replicated one-to-one.

An Yun figured this out, but he was still not happy. He remained a little listless until after lunch and taking medicine.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Cui’s heart twitched. “Fulang, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

An Yun shook his head, looked at the little girl who was staring at him with concern, forced a smile, and gently said, “It’s okay, it’s just the weather is hot, so I feel uncomfortable.”

Xiao Cui looked at him after hearing this, a little doubtful, but she didn’t ask any more questions.
