Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

After a month of traveling and sightseeing, Ziyue arrived at a place called "Luocheng".

Luo City is the largest and most prosperous city in Xiling Kingdom besides the capital. It is not far from the capital and can be reached in a day on horseback. Ziyue decided to settle down in Luo City from now on.

She doesn't plan to go to the capital. Maybe she can go for a visit sometime, but settling down there is out of the question.

After all, the male and female leads, the male and female supporting characters, and other important figures such as nobles and high-ranking officials were all in the capital. She didn't want to get involved in this mess, as it would be bad if she were implicated.

She just wanted to live her own little life leisurely by herself.

Ziyue led her horse toward the city gate, where soldiers were checking everyone's household registration and other information. Soon it was her turn.

However, there was nothing wrong with her identity, so the soldier just glanced at her, registered her information, and returned it to her.

Los Angeles truly lives up to its reputation as the largest and most prosperous city outside of the capital, with its streets adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions and towers, and pedestrians thronging the streets.

Various stalls and shops lined the streets, their shouts rising and falling, while artisans performed acrobatics, attracting the attention of passersby. The atmosphere was lively and bustling.

Restaurants, taverns, inns, fabric shops, clothing stores, jewelry stores, grain shops, pastry shops, cosmetics shops, and so on were everywhere.

Clay figurines, wood carvings, sugar paintings, lanterns, calligraphy and paintings, paper umbrellas, sachets, handkerchiefs, lip rouge, pastries, snacks, and dried fruits... a dazzling array of goods, with stalls lined up one after another, and bustling people moving between the shops and stalls, creating a lively atmosphere.

Ziyue led the horse to the largest restaurant in the city, "Qilixiang Restaurant," where she tasted the unique and delicious food.

Some signature dishes, like braised pork trotters, are fragrant, tender, and chewy; tofu pudding with beef is smooth and the beef is fresh and delicious; salted egg yolk tofu melts in your mouth; and osmanthus rice rolls are sweet, fluffy, and very tasty.

After enjoying a delicious meal, Ziyue went to the restaurant across the street.

The five-story building opposite the restaurant is the largest inn in Los Angeles, named "Penglai Residence".

As soon as you enter the gate, the waiter greets you warmly, "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

"Stay at the hotel."

Ziyue booked a top-class room. Although it was only a temporary place to settle down, she was not going to make herself uncomfortable.

The waiter led Ziyue to the fifth floor and into the room. Facing her was a living room with a carved nanmu round table and four matching plum blossom stools around it.

There was a chaise lounge by the window, and a crescent-shaped table at the head of the chaise lounge, on which sat a pot of clivia in full bloom. The waiter said that sitting on that chaise lounge, one could enjoy a panoramic view of most of Los Angeles.

To the left of the living room is a maple leaf screen, behind which is the bed, and next to the bed is a small window with a desk.

To the right of the entrance is a larger landscape screen, behind which is a large bathtub for bathing.

Overall, Ziyue was very satisfied; it was much better than the inns she had seen in other places she had passed through before.

"Sir, if you need hot water, just let us know in the front hall downstairs. In addition, our inn also provides some food. Just let us know and we will bring it up to you."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Ziyue tossed a tael of silver to the waiter as a tip. The waiter was even happier and more enthusiastic, repeatedly assuring him that he could come to her if he needed anything, since this tael of silver was equivalent to half a month's wages.

After resting overnight, Ziyue ate some simple porridge the next morning and went out.

Following Xiao Jiu'er's ultimate navigation, I wandered around.

Penglaiju Inn and Qilixiang Restaurant, where she ate yesterday, are located on the most bustling, lively, and wide main street in Luocheng. This street is called "Qili Street" and is the most lively street in Luocheng. It doesn't quiet down until late at night.

Having decided to settle in Los Angeles, the first thing to solve was the housing problem. Ziyue inquired about how to buy a house and then headed to a place called "Zuo Anju".

As soon as I entered, a man in his thirties, dressed in a blue robe with his hair tied up, came forward and asked, "Are you here to look at the house?"

"Yes, are there any houses near Qili Street?"

"Yes, yes, yes, there's a three-courtyard house located two streets away from Qili Street. The price will definitely be a bit higher. What do you think of it?" The words were left unsaid, but those in the know understood.

"Price is not an issue. Can you take me to see it first?"

Ziyue didn't care about the price; she just wanted a good location, close to the main street, so it would be convenient for her life. She also wanted to see if she could rent a storefront to do some small business to pass the time.

Ziyue followed him to a three-courtyard house. The house occupied about two acres of land and was quite spacious.

There is a small garden in the front yard. Crossing the front yard and walking through the covered walkway, you will reach the main yard, which has several main rooms and east and west wing rooms.

The backyard has a kitchen, several rooms for the servants, and a stable for horses, which is perfect for keeping Snowflake.

Snowflake was the horse she had bought in Qing County. Although she had many horses in her space, this one was pure white, and Ziyue fell in love with it at first sight.

Because it had been brought into the space and given spiritual spring water, the horse was now plump and strong, with a proud posture and unparalleled majesty, and traveling a thousand miles a day was no problem at all.

"The original owner of this house is going back to his hometown to retire, so he decided to sell it. You can see that this house is very close to the main street, but it is quiet in the middle of the city. It is spacious and the environment is very nice. The price is 500 taels of gold."

It was indeed expensive; 500 taels of gold was equivalent to 5000 taels of silver. (Based on this fictional social unit of conversion.)

However, in the second most bustling city in the country, and so close to the most lively main street, with such a large courtyard, the price is still considered good value for money.

You should know that there's no shortage of wealthy people in Los Angeles.

Ziyue pretended to think for a moment, then said, "Alright, we don't need to look at the others. Let's just go with this house. I'll buy it."

The man in blue was overjoyed and enthusiastically helped with the transfer of the house, and then went to the government office to register it. It's true what they say, it's easier to get things done when you know someone. The house issue was resolved in just one morning.

Looking at the courtyard in front of her, Ziyue felt a surge of emotion; this would be her little nest from now on.

To make herself more comfortable, Ziyue began to decorate the room little by little.

She first tidied up the main room, putting some clothes in the wardrobe, adding bedding and blankets to the bed, and some jewelry to the jewelry box, as well as vases, ornaments, books, and paintings...

They decorated the entire room where she was going to stay.
