Chapter 1058: Renovation Progress

Changle led a few people around the Embassy, introducing them to what was done here and how these things were made; fortunately, Bingzhu and the others had already witnessed the high walls and houses of the Xuanyuan Tribe, otherwise, their jaws would surely have dropped to the floor here.

Ayuduo had already left Yangasha's side and was clutching Changle's hand tightly; since Changle said this place was his, it meant that this would also be the place where she would live in the future—it was truly too beautiful.

She also saw the various plants planted in different spots, the very things Changle had dug up in the wilderness; she hadn't understood it before, but looking at it now, it was true—planting something versus leaving it bare felt like two completely different things. The plants, the walls, and the ground echoed one another; it was impossible to describe the feeling, but it was simply very comfortable.

What truly attracted them, however, was the glass. By now, Huaxia had already skipped the stage of purely building houses for people to live in and had begun to create scenery; thus, window views and framed views began to appear, which stemmed from Baifeng's guidance.

In some suitable places, windows would be used to create window views; some were installed with glass, some were not—it all depended on the situation.

But as for glass, the Jiuli would feel that this was an extremely special thing because they had never seen it before. Changle could not explain it and could only say that it was made from a very special kind of stone, and only Huaxia had it.

Guided by Changle, the others suddenly had a memory, and Qianxi said excitedly, "Oh, I remember this! We have some in the Jiuli, but they don't look quite the same. Ours are those square, long ones, not this flat, wide, and especially hard kind."

Now Changle didn't need to explain too much; they already had something similar to substitute for it and understood what this was. Now they were just marveling that it could be so wide and so large, and that it could be polished so well. There was envy in their words, but not so much confusion anymore.

Of course, if Ayuduo wanted to ask, he would certainly explain it in detail, even taking her to the Glass Factory to see it would be fine.

After wandering around, they finally arrived at Changle's courtyard. Changle pointed to the half-open courtyard gate and said, "This is where I live, but it hasn't been completely renovated yet; it still lacks some furniture and such. It might take another ten days or so before I can move in."

Changle pushed open the gate to the courtyard and saw a large group of people holding various tools, hacking away at pieces of wood of different shapes on the ground.

Bingzhu and the others were stunned; they had never seen such a scene before and didn't even know what these people were doing.

Now that the main construction of the Embassy was complete, only the interior decoration remained, so Chai was personally overseeing the renovation of Changle's house and the furniture production. The moment Changle opened the door, Chai was holding an axe high, about to chop the wood in front of him; he had already marked the positions with ink, and after processing and assembly, a large piece of wood could be turned into fine furniture.

Seeing Changle arrive, everyone put down their tools and rushed toward him. Ayuduo was frightened and hid slightly behind Changle, while Bingzhu and the others were also startled and took several steps back; after all, these people looked fierce and menacing.

But those Artisans all knelt down in unison before Changle, then shouted unevenly, "Welcome home, Prince!"

Changle waved his hand casually: "Good, everyone rise."

Ayuduo looked at Changle like this; he was quite imposing and very capable. Bingzhu and the others were also very satisfied with Changle's performance; at least for now, these people of Huaxia were very respectful toward Changle.

Changle pointed at Chai and asked, "Chai, how is the progress now?"

Chai hurriedly replied, "Prince, the main frame of your courtyard is completely finished. The bathroom and washroom have also been fully installed. All the furniture and furnishings in the master bedroom are set, and it is ready for occupancy. The study can be finished today; the bookcases and such are already being assembled."

"The remaining rooms are expected to be fully finished in another eight or nine days."

Chai spoke very sincerely, but his eyes couldn't help but glance toward Ayuduo. He was truly too curious, yet he dared not be too obvious or go too far. The others were also using their peripheral vision to curiously size up Ayuduo, wanting to see what kind of woman could be taken a fancy to by Changle Prince.

"Mm, good, put in some more effort, and this!" Changle pulled Ayuduo in front of him: "She is my wife, and also a Princess of the Jiuli. You all should now also build another wardrobe in my bedroom to store Ayuduo's clothes, and build some more small tables and cabinets to store her jewelry. You don't need me to explain these in detail, right?"

Chai hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes, Prince, we understand what to do. We will get to work immediately. However, I must ask, when does the Prince plan to move in? If you want to move in and live here now, it is also possible; we will finish the remaining parts as soon as possible."

Changle thought for a moment and said, "No need. You all continue with the renovation for now. I have decided to take them to Huaxia first; after all, such a big matter, my father must know, and I have also found some good things this time that need to be brought back."

"Find me some pigeons later; I will write a letter to my father."

"Yes, Changle Prince, the carrier pigeons will be prepared for you right away. Should I send the pigeons to your current residence?"

Changle waved his hand: "Mm, just send them there. Isn't it said that the news about the pigeons has already been revealed? There is no need to hide it anymore. Let them see it if they see it, it's fine."

"Understood."

Ayuduo gently tugged on Changle's arm: "What pigeons? What hiding? Can you tell me?"

Changle looked at Ayuduo, his expression instantly turning gentle: "Of course I can. Let me tell you, we in Huaxia raise a kind of bird called a pigeon. It can fly from here, that is, the Xuanyuan Tribe, back to our Huaxia. Over such a long distance, it can fly there in one day, so the speed of delivering messages is especially fast. We tie a Bamboo Tube to its leg, put the letter inside, and let it fly back."

"This way, when the pigeon returns to Huaxia, the letter I want to send arrives in Huaxia. Before, it was because we were afraid of the Xuanyuan Tribe knowing we had such a good thing that we hid it from them. Now that we are cooperating again, my father said there is no need to continue hiding it, so I dared to do this."

Bingzhu and the others wanted to know everything, but now they could only follow closely behind Ayuduo like tag-alongs; only when they heard something they couldn't understand could they open their mouths to ask a question.
