There certainly were guests.
“I’ll take this one. Can we go to the Governor’s Office now to sign the land deed?”
So straightforward.
Many people came to the Pawnshop to buy residences, liking to look over and over and choose repeatedly, yet in the end, they wouldn’t make a purchase.
It was very annoying.
Someone like Xie Zhinuan, who decided quickly and did not haggle too harshly, was truly rare.
“I need to buy some servants after purchasing the residence. Do you have any suitable ones here?”
“Yes, we do!” Lian Shi hurriedly replied.
At the Governor’s Office, the staff recognized Lian Shi. After a brief conversation, the Pawnshop’s manager had already hurried over, solemnly presenting the house and land deeds. The staff from the Governor’s Office first verified that the deeds were genuine before stamping them with their seal. They then re-registered the documents, and after all was confirmed, they brought them to Xie Zhinuan for her confirmation.
Xie Zhinuan recognized a few characters and turned to look at the silly girl.
The silly girl nodded slightly, and then Xie Zhinuan pressed her handprint onto the document and took out two thousand-tael silver notes. The Pawnshop’s manager immediately made change with one hundred taels.
Xie Zhinuan accepted the silver notes and received the keys handed to her by the manager.
She also took back her identity registration plaque and carefully placed it in her pouch.
She bade farewell to Lian Shi.
“Miss Xie, when there is news about the manor or the tavern, how should I seek you out?” Lian Shi asked eagerly.

“Go to the posthouse. I will be staying there temporarily for the next few days!”“…”
Lian Shi was stunned.
The staff at the Governor’s Office were also taken aback.
The posthouse was not somewhere ordinary people could stay.
One had to be from an official or noble family, or be royalty or nobility. And yet Xie Zhinuan was staying at the posthouse.
But looking at her identity registration, she clearly came from a small village.
“I’ll be going now!” Xie Zhinuan waved her hand and boarded the Mule Cart first.
At this time of year, there were many street vendors selling oranges and pomelos. Some were tasty, some not so much, but they all had a genuine fragrance.
Xie Zhinuan leaned against the cart window, took a light breath, and touched the two sleeping beside her, “Silly girl, do you think the Vegetable Market is still open for business now?”
“…” The silly girl was puzzled.
“Let’s go buy some vegetables!”
The silly girl thought for a moment before responding, “We’ll take a look. If it’s open, we’ll buy some.”
“Absolutely!”
Xie Zhinuan leaned on the cart window, her lips curled in a tender smile while her eyes were warm and yet fiercely determined at the same time.
She would be successful.
Although the road would be more arduous than in her previous life, with many more setbacks, for the sake of freedom, to live unrestrainedly, she wasn’t afraid. She would forge ahead bravely, seizing every opportunity.
She had clear and precise thoughts. She knew exactly what she wanted.
No longer possessing the post-travel calmness of mind, desiring only a peaceful life, in this another world, with her appearance, it wasn’t possible to be unambitious and still live securely.
Moreover, whether this original body had parents or relatives…
Xie Zhinuan exhaled softly.
Relatives and such could wait; she currently had no way of thinking about these matters.
When the Mule Cart arrived at the Vegetable Market, to her surprise, there were still quite a few vendors selling a variety of vegetables. Xie Zhinuan got off the Mule Cart, and since it was by the river, there were many who sold fish and shrimp.
Xie Zhinuan chose some plump shrimp, selected a few green veggies, bought some meat, and took the Mule Cart back to the posthouse.
The Mule Cart stopped at the entrance of the posthouse, and the guards immediately approached, “Miss Xie, you’ve returned!”
“Mm!” Xie Zhinuan affirmed, stepping down from the Mule Cart, and after a moment’s thought, she asked, “Is there any grassland nearby?”
“Yes, there is, right behind the posthouse. It’s available for the noble guests staying at the posthouse to ride horses or park their carriages!”
Xie Zhinuan nodded, planning to let Yuanbao take the three of them for a stroll later and to let them run a few laps to avoid getting restless.
