Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

For convenience, before opening her business, Ziyue trained her four clever servants and placed them in Baiqiao Linglong Pavilion as waiters.

Of course, it will only be a little busy on the day of the auction.

To be precise, there isn't even a full day of that time. We only start receiving guests around 5 PM on the 16th of each month, and even then, we're only busy for two or three hours at most.

Normally, I just do some cleaning and tidying up the backyard...

Everyone was pleasantly surprised when they first heard about their working hours; it was like a pie had fallen from the sky.

They work short hours and receive a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, so they work very hard.

On the surface, Song Zhiwen is the manager of Linglong Pavilion. However, because Linglong Pavilion is a big name that attracts attention, Ziyue is worried that Song Zhiwen's sick mother might cause trouble for her if she stays at home alone. Therefore, she allows Song Zhiwen to bring his mother to live in the backyard of Linglong Pavilion, where her safety can be guaranteed and she can be well taken care of.

Therefore, Song Zhiwen was extremely grateful to Ziyue.

Qingyun and Qingshu are also responsible for providing pastries and tea on the 16th of each month, the day of the auction.

In particular, Qing Shu's Osmanthus Crystal Taro Cake, Jujube Yam Cake, and Fermented Rice Cake are all very good and can be used as signature dishes to entertain guests in the shop.

As for tea, besides tea, she can also serve red wine and other wines to guests. Only after tasting them and experiencing the sweetness will guests be willing to "buy more."

However, Ziyue also increased Qingyun and Qingshu's monthly wages to thirty taels of silver each month.

In addition, twenty guards were recruited. Although Ziyue was not afraid of anything due to her martial arts skills, she also had Xiao Jiu'er to monitor her at all times and inform her in time if anything unusual happened.

But everyone knows that the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is filled with countless rare and precious treasures, yet you don't even have a single guard at the gate. Isn't that just blatantly telling people that anyone can come and covet it?!

It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone eyeing you!

As for these guards, it's just a facade to deceive people; she trusts herself the most.

-

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, Ziyue has turned eighteen.

Five years is enough time for Baiqiao Linglong Pavilion to become famous throughout the world.

It's not that no one has ever tried to take advantage of Linglong Pavilion, but anyone who enters with ill intentions always dies a terrible death.

Whoever sent the person, the mastermind will find the body of the person they sent in their room the next day or even that night.

Moreover, half of their assets will disappear without a trace.

The mastermind behind this cannot openly admit that it was Baiqiao Linglong Pavilion that did it, because that would be clearly telling the whole world that he had ill intentions and ended up reaping the consequences.

Besides, there's no evidence.

Who can prove that these people were killed by the Hundred Crafts Pavilion? Where's the evidence? There's no witness testimony or physical evidence; reporting it to the authorities is useless!

We can't beat them, and we don't have their unpredictable and mysterious methods!

He could only swallow this bitter pill, filled with regret and remorse, wishing he could slap himself for being so foolish as to plot against Linglong Pavilion!

Unfortunately, there's no going back in life!

There was no other way; the bigger the tree, the more the wind would blow against it. Ziyue did this to intimidate outsiders, so she would send anyone who dared to break into Linglong Pavilion to meet their maker without hesitation.

As for the mastermind behind it all, she didn't want to push people to the brink, so she took half of the assets.

As long as you stop trying to take advantage of her, then we can all be happy. Consider half of the property as compensation for her emotional distress and hardship.

Otherwise, she couldn't possibly kill everyone, could she? She's not a bloodthirsty person. Confiscating half of their property and leaving them the other half—she's already been very kind!

But if he still doesn't change his ways after half of his property has been taken, Ziyue won't be lenient. She'll take a one-stop service, send him to be reincarnated early, and confiscate all his family's wealth!

Over time, no one dared to provoke Linglong Pavilion anymore.

After finishing his brunch that day, Ziyue saw that the weather was nice and decided to take Qingyun and Qingshu out for a stroll.

She wore a moon-white brocade dress, with a white brocade belt cinching her slender waist, and played with a white jade flute in her delicate, boneless hands.

In the past few years, when she had nothing to do, she hired several teachers to teach her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She learned all kinds of musical instruments, and she was particularly good at the qin, zheng, and xiao. She also surpassed her teachers in other areas.

Her glossy black hair was simply tied up, with a delicate jade hairpin at an angle, adorned with a thin silver beaded tassel.

Her phoenix eyes were naturally alluring, and her lips were adorned with a touch of lip rouge, making her face even more stunning.

As Ziyue has grown older over the past few years, her appearance has become increasingly alluring.

Although Qingyun and Qingshu often faced their young lady, they were still somewhat dazed for a moment.

"Snap out of it!" Ziyue teased the two who were staring at her, looking at them with a smile that made Qingyun and Qingshu blush.

In recent years, Qingyun and Qingshu have become more and more casual and natural in front of Ziyue, no longer as reserved as when they first came to her side.

Qing Shu, her face flushed and her heart pounding, snapped out of her daze, patted her chest, and boldly teased back, "Miss, I wonder how many young masters will be captivated by your outfit today. One day, the threshold of our Yue family will be worn down by matchmakers seeking marriage."

"Alright, alright, let's go. Let's take advantage of the nice weather and go for a walk outside the city."

The three of them, along with a coachman, traveled to Qingqi Mountain outside the city.

Qingqi Mountain is quite famous, especially because there is a temple on the mountain called Qingshan Temple, which is said to be particularly accurate in predicting marriage.

There are usually many worshippers, coming and going in an endless stream.

The group began to climb the mountain step by step from the foot of the mountain. Along the way, they encountered many ladies and young women, followed by groups of servants and maids, carrying baskets filled with incense and candles, or tea and snacks for resting.

Along the way up the mountain, there are small pavilions every so often for people to rest.

Although there are long bamboo chairs that can be carried up the mountain, everyone believes that sincerity is key.

Therefore, unless an elderly person who is too old and physically weak chooses to sit in a bamboo chair and be carried up, most people choose to slowly climb up on their own.

When you get tired from climbing, you can sit in the pavilion to rest, have some tea and snacks to replenish your energy, enjoy the scenery, and chat with your family or a few close friends.

After about two incense sticks' worth of time, Qingyun and Qingshu felt somewhat exhausted.

Ziyue turned around and looked at the two of them.

"Tsk, you two aren't very fit. When you get home, you should run around the yard a few times every morning and evening."

"You two can climb slowly. You can rest in the pavilion for a while. I'll go up first. Don't worry if you can't find me. We'll meet at the foot of the mountain."

After saying that, he turned and headed up the mountain without looking back.

Qingyun and Qingshu exchanged a glance, then, feeling helpless, went to rest in the nearby pavilion.

It's not that they're heartless or don't care about the young lady's safety, but it's unnecessary, really unnecessary.

They were well aware of their young lady's fighting prowess, and if anyone dared to be so foolish, it wouldn't be their young lady who suffered.

Ziyue climbed to the top of the mountain quickly by herself and entered Qingshan Temple. She thought that since she was already there, she might as well go in and pray, even though she was not superstitious.

After leaving Qingshan Temple, without seeing Qingyun and Qingshu, he strolled alone towards the bamboo forest nearby.

She strolled around, stopping and going as she pleased, enjoying the beautiful scenery all by herself.

"Bang—clang, clang—clang clang…" The sound of weapons clashing came from afar. Ziyue used stealth and teleportation to quietly approach the place where the sound came from.
