Servant Hall of the Yu clan estate.
Bai Ren looking around him, all servants are grey robes.
A servant quarter where all servants were resident and lived their life the servants also have their status.
Grey robes for a servant who was not chosen by any member of the family and serve as a regular servant are known to be lower rank servants.
Yellow robes for a servant who was chosen by any member of the family and serve only their owners are known to be mid rank servants.
Red robes for a servant who was chosen by any member of the family and serve only their owners as personal servants are known to be high rank servants.
As for ranking up as a servant you should gain trust, this is most important to survive as a servant here.
This is the same as promotion in the modern world in my previous life, you can see servants as a worker and this Yu clan as a company.
Rows of attendants stood in formation before a raised wooden stage. Their simple gray robes flutter slightly in the morning cold wind.
An old man was standing on the stage, wearing a purple robe, serious face and his piercing eyes scanning the crowd of young servants.
Bai Ren looked at the old man who was standing on stage and noticed a purple robe. It means he is one of three heads of Servant Hall.
My father also wore a purple robe, but he always tells me if you want something then do hard work and achieve with your talent not by your connections. Now I show off in front of him hehe~
The old man started speaking after throat clearing.
"Listen carefully, today's topic could change all of your lives. Some of you have been selected for a promotion. I have the names of all of you who will be promoted, and I'm about to announce them." he said in a firm voice.
All servants are extremely happy after listening to the news but some of them do not because they want to hear their name before enjoying it.
Bai Ren is confident that he is going to become a chef of Lady Yu.
Now my promotion is confirmed, hehe~
Training ground of Yu clan.
A young boy was holding the sword in hands and swinging the sword again and again. He was tired but still practicing.
Yu Feng has high cheekbones, piercing jade eyes, and lips curved quite innocently. A majestic black robe draped his tall. He is the original MC of the novel.
"Young Master, please don't force yourself." Women said.
The young woman has a slim figure wearing a red robe, her high cheekbones turned pink, long lashes blinked over black eyes and her beauty plain but sharp.
"Young Master, you're still angry?" She asks with a worried expression.
"No…" he replied.
"Then why are you pushing yourself for a few days?" she asked.
"It's just I realise my weakness. They are correct that if I am going to marry her then I should be capable and reliable, to become most suitable for her." He said with a smile with flames in his eyes.
Servant Quarter.
"Bai Yue, you're appointed Yellow Robe Servant for the 4th elder of the Yu clan."
Bai Ren was happy for her.
"Ye Chen, you're appointed Yellow Robe Servant for the 2nd young master of Yu clan."
When Bai Ren heard about the 2nd young master of the Yu clan.
2nd young master Yu Jian, he is the son of the 3rd wife of the Yu clan head. He was originally a 3rd grade villain in this 3rd grade novel. This servant is going to work under a villain, his life going to hell. He destinate to dead by hands of original Mc.
"Bai Ren, you're appointed Yellow Robe Servant for…Lady Yu."
"What the hell? I am hearing?"
"What was he appointed for Lady Yu?"
"I can't believe this."
The old man was standing on stage and looking at Bai Ren, he was thinking.
Lady Yu never trusts anyone after that accident many servants chase out of the flower mansion, only few are close to her like Family Head, Her personal servant…how could she choose him as servant for… cooking.
Yu Clan Head office.
Mid-aged man was sitting on a chair and reading a scroll. After reading it, he burned the letter.
"Interesting…. Bai Ren,"
He said without turning head, "He is a boy that was adopted by you."
A figure in shadow appeared in front, he was mid-aged man wearing a purple robe, his eyes were sharp.
"Yes, my lord." he replied.
Yu Hao asked him with a smile, "You should be proud that your son won the trust of my sister."
"Yes, my lord l was very happy with his achievement," he replied.
Yu Hao some thoughts come to his mind, "I am asking this out of curiosity. Bai Jian, Why do you chase him out of your house?"
After listening to this question, Bai Jian was shocked.
"Reply to My Lord I was planning to marry him with my daughter but he married another girl. My daughter was angry, that's why I chased him out of the house for few days."
"My Lord, why you ask this?" He asked with lower his head.
Then You Hao laughed and said, "I ask this because I worry about my sister's safety but it turned out not to be a big problem."
"Huh"
He controls himself and says, "If your daughter really likes him then you should marry her to him as his office wife. It's normal for a man to marry two women."
"You're right, My lord but…don't you think it's getting late for an elders meeting to attend."
In the evening.
In the noisy market of Azure Cloud City.
Amid stalls piled with spirit herbs and glowing pills, Bai Ren wandered in the crowded streets.
"I ask for some money from the Head Servant as advance payment." he whispered to himself, smiling.
He sought something special for his beloved wife, Mei Ling, to celebrate his promotion.
He paused at a jade stall, eyes lighting up on a delicate hairpin carved from moon spirit jade.
"How much?" Bai Ren asked the sly merchant, a wiry old man.
"Ten bronze coins, young hero," the merchant grinned.
Young hero? He knows how to butter a person with sweet words. Bai Ren thought.
He looked at his pouch and there were 50 bronze coins inside.
Then look at the hairpin and remember his wife.
This is not going easy looking at his age he has more experience in selling…but. He suddenly smiles. My mom also has one skill that kills all merchants in my hometown.
Bai Ren frowned. "That's too high. I saw the same one down the street for five."
The merchant crossed his arms. "Mine's better quality. Pay up or leave."
Bai Ren stayed calm. "Show me the difference." He picked it up, checked it closely, then pointed to a tiny scratch. "This flaw makes it worth 4 bronze coins max. Take it or I walk."
The merchant grumbled, trying to argue, but more customers were watching. "Fine, 8 bronze coins. Last offer."
"Four," Bai Ren said firmly, pulling out the stones. The merchant sighed and took them, losing two stones he could've gotten elsewhere. Bai Ren pocketed the hairpin and left with a nod.
