After Dressing Up As a Little Fulang

At this moment, there was a sudden movement at the door.

Both An Yun and Xiao Cui looked at the door with some doubts, and then they saw Qing Yue leading two maids in. Both maids were holding a tray with a carved box on it.

Seeing this situation, An Yun, who had been listless just moments before, suddenly stood up and stared in their direction with bright eyes.

As soon as Qing Yue entered, she met An Yun’s shining eyes. She was momentarily stunned, then smiled, “An Fulang.”

An Yun was very excited now, but he restrained his emotions, not wanting to appear too eager and be looked down by them, “Qing Yue, what brings you here?”

Qing Yue observed An Yun, who seemed more lively than their last meeting. Her smile remained unchanged as she spoke gently, “The young master is very pleased with the gifts An Fulang sent, so he asked me to bring these to you. I hope fulang will like them.”

“This… this is too kind. I also wish to ease the young master’s burden. You need not reward me,” An Yun said, though his eyes were fixed on the two boxes placed on the table, shining brightly with anticipation.

Qing Yue found An Yun to be quite charming; he couldn’t hide his excitement, yet it was endearing rather than annoying, reminding her of a child who couldn’t contain his joy for toys.

An Yun gazed at the two boxes—one the size of his palm, the other twice as large. Whatever was inside, it was sure to be substantial.

Qing Yue saw him staring at the box with great energy, eagerly anticipating its opening. The smile on her face deepened. “Fulang, the package has arrived. I must return to my duties now. If you have any other needs, please let me know. As I mentioned before, just send someone to find me.”

“Yeah,” An Yun responded, thinking it was no problem.

Seeing his reaction, Qing Yue sensed his impatience for her to leave so he could open the box. Without wasting any time, she turned around and went back to her daily routine.

.

When Qing Yue returned to Zang Ya’s courtyard, Zang Ya, who had finished packing and was ready to depart, was still seated. Though his demeanor seemed casual, she could feel his gaze on her.

Qing Yue didn’t beat around the bush. She entered, bowed, and said straightforwardly, “Young master, the items have been delivered to An Fulang.”

Zang Ya looked up at her.

Understanding the young master’s expectations, Qing Yue continued, “It seems An Fulang really likes the gift you sent. His eyes brightened up when I placed it before him, and he seemed very happy.”

Zang Ya imagined how the little shuanger’s eyes would be lit up upon receiving the gift. While he believed it natural to anticipate rewards for his efforts, he couldn’t help feeling a bit pleased by the reaction.

Zang Ya was happy, but didn’t show it. He just nodded to her, but there was something unusual in his cold voice, “This little shuanger has no knowledge, I gave him little things and he was so happy.”

Although Zang Ya was belittling, others knew that his words were not mean like this.

Everyone didn’t dare to say anything.

“Let’s go, it’s time to go to the banquet.” After Zang Ya finished speaking, he stood up and walked out neatly.

“Yes.” Qing Yue raised the corners of her mouth and followed Zang Ya out.

The two attendants following Zang Ya, in addition to three bottles of fine wines selected from the famous wines collected in the past few days, also had a bottle of bayberry wine sent by An Yun, in a changed bottle.

.

In an elegantly decorated courtyard outside the city, many of the dandy boys who had gone hunting and enjoyed wine with Zang Ya last time all gathered there.

In the last game, they had changed the date for the sake of Zang Ya’s face. In this competition, if nothing happened, the winner would definitely be Zang Ya.

Everyone who had come that day knew this very well, so they positioned themselves as just coming here to have fun.

But they did not raise objections to this. After all, these days, whoever had a higher official position was more powerful. If he was not an official, he would be inferior in position and favor within his family.

It just so happened that Zang Ya had the highest official position among their group of young men, and he was also the most favored in the family.

Now that the appointed time had arrived and Zang Ya had not yet come, everyone who had arrived greeted each other, chatting about their own gossip, beauties, and new gadgets.

Only Zhao De muttered unhappily. Seeing no sign of Zang Ya, he shouted out directly: “I say, even if Zang Ya’s father is the city master, we can’t indulge him like this! The time has come and he still hasn’t arrived.”

Upon hearing Zhao De’s words, the young master next to him, who was holding his beautiful concubine, responded, “Brother Zhao, what you’re saying is true. But if we don’t obey Young Master Zang, what should we do? His father is the city master. Should we beat him, kill him, or challenge him to make him listen to us?”

At this moment, they could do nothing, even if they weren’t used to it!

Zhao De understood this, but he was still angry and asserted forcefully, “He was a little devil who lost last time, yet we still had to yield to him. He’s not a three-year-old who needs to be pampered.”

“I’m not three anymore, I’m twelve.”

A voice behind Zhao De startled him. When he turned around, he saw the person he had just criticized standing behind him, staring at him indifferently.

Zang Ya looked at him calmly, a hint of curiosity in his tone, “So, what does a twenty-year-old like you want to do to a twelve-year-old like me to make me listen to you?”
