Being a Life Player in the Middle Ages

Early in the morning John harnessed up his carriage and took his wife and daughter to the district where he was going to live.

Recently, people have been using cars to stay at home more and more. It has happened so often that John has even discussed with Martha privately that he would buy a carriage for himself and would always borrow it from his neighbors. Although he doesn't have to pay for the carriage, it's always very kind of him, and if he meets someone who needs to use the carriage, it's usually easy to lend it to him.

Everyone agreed with Martha's suggestion to move in. Mia's family didn't have any children yet, and the couple rarely left the block except for going to the market, church, and work. But since Mia and John were at home, and they had just had a picnic, Martha thought that Mia should arrange such a family activity twice a month, which would not only relax but also increase the affection among family members. Since the picnic, John took Mia fishing and went to the sea, and since Mia came back, the relationship between the two families has been visibly harmonious. John always put on a serious face and even talked more after he went out. Recently, Mia and his adoptive father and daughter have been chatting more together, such as fishing. John and Mia may have been so fond of this activity in the summer before, but now Mia is visibly enthusiastic about it. He even made an appointment with Mia to go fishing together next time they have a good chance.

The couple discussed and decided to buy Keya a small carriage, which was used for carrying goods and mostly for traveling. On weekdays, Keya would park it on the side of the path outside the backyard. Although it would occupy the road a bit, there were usually not many pedestrians on the side of the backyard. Parking the car there would affect everyone's travel, but few neighbors would go there.

The carriage ticked past and trotted towards District 3.

At that time, the main residential area was the Noble Residence, where many people used to live. Before the riot was burned down by fire, the most beautiful residential area of ​​Constantinople, except for the emperor's palace and the private residences of top nobles, was the Noble Residence. A large part of the nobles lived there. But after the Noble Rebellion, the Noble Rebellion was destroyed in the fire. Only ashes remained in the entire area, and many people were even burned to death. Reconstruction began later, but it was said that the Noble Rebellion has not been completed yet. Frightened by the previous riot and because of the taboo of killing so many people, the nobles had already moved to other places, but the Noble Residences still belonged to the city, and the common people did not dare to go there. The Noble Streets were always deserted than other blocks, and even those houses that were rebuilt in the spring exuded a sense of silence as if no one had lived there.

But in fact, although the entire residential area is not as full of people as before, there are fewer residents. Many nobles are so taboo about moving there and accidents have happened there. Because the geographical location of the third district is more convenient for daily work, making friends and getting closer to the power center, some people choose to move back, but more nobles choose to sell or rent out their houses.

Although it is still considered a residential area for the nobility, in fact, more people living in Miqu are rich merchants and officials - because of the ancient Roman official selection system, officials can only be descendants of the nobility.

Of course, it's like the new nobles go to this area, but the main residents are still there.

After hearing Martha say that a tragedy had happened in the past, Mia took the carriage and observed the surrounding situation. In fact, it had been several years since the incident. The traces of the fire had long been cleared, and the city buildings damaged by the mob had been repaired. Except for a few areas, it was completely invisible that they had experienced a fire. However, compared with other areas, the buildings were too new and seemed to exude an aura of being in a newly occupied city.

People now live in single-family stone buildings. The houses are large, covering a large area, with lawns in front, behind, left and right, and surrounded by high fences. Fences are also planted with trees in rows to increase concealment, and each house is separated from its neighbors by a straight road. Everyone now lives their own life, and the relationship between neighbors is much more indifferent.

It is said that this residential area was originally built together with the whole city. At that time, in order to allow the nobles to move out of Rome to live there, the emperor specially arranged the residential areas into a well-connected layout, and even changed the building specifications. Then he let the nobles live there for free, and thus the noble area was created.

After the fire destroyed everything, although people rebuilt their houses according to the original layout, but after two hundred years, people's aesthetic tastes have changed. The new buildings are no longer as neat and elegant as before. Each household has its own characteristics. Compared with before, they are less neat and tidy, but have more unique aesthetics.

You have to live in District 3, which is close to the Imperial Palace. It should be more expensive, but there was a riot right next to the racecourse, and it was only a few years ago. Just thinking about the 30,000 people who were killed there in a few days and the bloodbath throughout the racecourse, many nobles who used to live near the racecourse were so proud to have witnessed that scene with their own eyes that they almost became one of them. But they were scared out of their wits and didn't tell anyone about it. Most of the houses were sold at low prices, and the rent was much lower than other places.

It is said that the knights who lived there served the royal family. It was very close to the Grand Palace, and many of them were soldiers and generals who were directly responsible for killing many people in the mob. Naturally, they would be afraid to go there. Therefore, most of the new residents who lived there were generals and knights who were born in the army, but they had to distinguish among them.

Of course, Yaran was old, and when the riot happened, she was still the only one living in the Mi family's training room.

John didn't have to look for it any longer, so he had to stand at the door and wait for his turn.

Because it was his day off, he didn't wear armor, and he didn't wear a shawl in the hot weather. He wore a short-sleeved round-necked robe that almost reached his knees, tied tightly around his waist with a belt, revealing his muscular arms and calves. He wore a pair of leather sandals on his feet. His outfit was very ancient Roman. Although it looked like a man wearing a skirt, it didn't detract from his handsomeness.

After not seeing her for a few days, Mia felt that he seemed to have grown taller and taller, probably only two centimeters more, but he hid it from her eyes as accurately as a ruler.

At present, most of the people living in this area are tall and strong young people who are over 80 meters old. Mia thinks that they will definitely grow to over 85 meters or even taller.

Mia was so jealous. She drank two glasses of milk every morning and evening to make herself grow taller. She had grown to the height of 1.76 meters in her previous life, but she had to break through 1.65 meters. Although the average height of women nowadays was over 1.6 meters, she remembered that Mia's parents were above the average height. She worked hard and found room to grow.

"It's been a long time, John, Martha, I'm glad Mia."

When they saw Ran coming out, they came forward with a smile on their faces. After the carriage stopped, they helped Martha and Mia get out. They were very enthusiastic in their actions. It was obvious that Ran really welcomed Ran as a guest.

Martha and John watched Ran grow up. There was a big age gap between Ran and his two older sisters. Most of the older sisters were married and moved out when they were very young. So when their parents needed someone to go out, they would take Ran with them and send her next door to Martha to take care of her. So the relationship between the two sides was actually closer than the relationship between Ran's neighbors on the same street. Martha and John treated Ran as their own nephew and respected Ran sincerely.

"You are the first elder to come and stay with me since I moved to Yaya. I'm glad you can come."

Mia understood Ran's words and asked, "Did you just move in on your own?"

He nodded and explained, "It's almost the same. Before, my descendants lived in the Knights' dormitory."

Martha asked curiously, "Then why do you want to move to Bianzi? I thought it would be more convenient for you to live in the Knights of Mi?"

Ya is familiar with the time zone, so she should be more embedded in the Knights of the Mi. However, maybe this person particularly likes to get together with his companions, but he is not opposed to it. Besides, living in the Knights of the Mi is more convenient for training and work in the time zone.

Shi Yaoqu smiled helplessly and said, "I do prefer the Knights of Xia, but it's hard for me to refuse my friend's invitation."

Shi Yao told Ranchu that in fact, Ranchu and the Knights lived together in two other rooms. They entered the Knights at the same time and trained under the same instructor. They were young knights and were very warlike. Suoya was usually very self-disciplined and had almost no private entertainment activities except training and group activities. The other two roommates had a richer private life and often stayed at the same place at night. Of course, the rules of living in the Knights' dormitory were strict. Suoya had wanted to move out for a long time, but like most young people, they spent money like water and had almost no savings. However, the living conditions were too poor to live in, and they had to bear the rent for renting a house alone. They thought about finding someone to share the rent, but they found one themselves, and when they found one, they had to move out for homeless singles.

There was no way out when I was stuck in the area, and finally I agreed to move out and live with the roommate.

Although she and Mia had seen each other before, she didn't say anything when she thought of the situation when they first met.

"Well, I only live here on weekends. I usually live with the Knights of Mi."

"So, what about the rice?"

"Well, I usually stay away from people on my days off, and I told Ran that I would stay at my house to entertain guests today, and Ran would be back in two days."

At the same time, it was necessary to distinguish the two roommates from the descendants of aristocrats. Although their personalities were good, they would inevitably be treated differently in front of common people. She was worried that Marsha would be restrained when she met her husband, so she deliberately "drove" out the roommate.

"Now, besides Mi and me, I have to ask two more servants to go to the other room. The other room is responsible for the kitchen and the other room is responsible for daily cleaning. I hope Ke Ya can find her later if there is anything."

The descendant of the two servants was a very capable middle-aged woman. She wanted to move the two companions out of the house and live on her own, but she promised that they would not have to worry about food and daily life when they moved in, so she agreed to move out.

Today we invited Martha to stay at our house, but of course we had servants to cook the meals.

After entering, Mia looked around the interior. It was a typical Byzantine-style newly built house. It was slightly lower than John and Martha's house, but it was much higher. There were more windows, and those windows were covered with small pieces of colored glass. The sunlight came in and formed colorful pictures on the ground, which looked like a church.

As a residence for nobles, the decoration is very consistent with the luxurious style of Xia Inlay. Of course, it can be seen that the really valuable decorations have been taken away, but those left behind still highlight the magnificence of the house.

Before lunch, Shiyao took Ran out to visit her new residence. There were four floors in the house, but no attic. The three bedrooms on the first floor were shared, while the second to fourth floors were occupied by each person. They agreed to not interfere with each other, but try not to disturb their roommates, so Shiyao only took Ran out to visit the fourth floor, and to see where Ran would live tonight.

Living on the fourth floor is better because there are more stairs, but it is quieter. My roommates won't run upstairs for no reason, but I only need to go there occasionally, so it's not that bad to live there.

"I've already had everyone pack up in advance. You can stay in two more rooms tonight. I'll stay over there. Kaya can call me if anything happens later."

There are still many rooms to live in. There are about four rooms on each floor from the second to the fourth floor. They are distributed on both sides of the stairs, each with its door facing each other. The other two rooms on the other side of the stairs are arranged for Martha and Mia.

Mia opened the room and looked around. Although it was a guest room, it was very clean and well decorated. It looked much better than a natural monastery.
