Chapter 1085: Gifts

However, ever since Ayuduo arrived, Changle suddenly developed a sense of domesticity; he certainly would not lack food or clothing, and his father and brother would not let him live in poverty, but he just wanted to give Ayuduo things that were perhaps too extravagant, such as covering the room with Silk. Such an act was a bit too wasteful, and his father might not necessarily agree with him doing so.

And this time, regarding his using his Private Treasury to provide for the Jiuli Soldiers, Changle now dared not tell his father. In fact, after he had done it, he felt a little regret. What did the Jiuli Soldiers have to do with him? Their food and consumption were completely none of his business.

He only wanted to bring Ayuduo home; as for the Chieftain of War and the others, they could come if they wanted to, and it would be fine if they didn't. To Changle, this was a matter of indifference. If the Jiuli wanted to reach some kind of trade or cooperative relationship with Huaxia, then the consumption on such a journey was something they should bear themselves; what did it have to do with Changle?

But the words had already been spoken. Whether for his own sake or for the face of Huaxia, Changle could not go back on his word. If he did not fulfill it, it would make people feel that Huaxia was untrustworthy and unreliable, which would not be good for Huaxia's future development and would damage his own and Huaxia's credibility. After all, he was a Prince and represented Huaxia.

So, while on the road, Changle was also reflecting and recalling his own actions. In terms of Science, it could be said that no one could compare to him; he had made very great contributions, and this was true for the entire human race.

Yet, in external communication and interpersonal interaction, the problems seemed to be quite large. His age was too young, his thinking was not deep enough, his experience was not rich enough, and he always relied on his status and wealth to do some rather impulsive things. In the end, he either caused trouble for himself or caused trouble for his father. This was not the first time.

This time, he thought carefully; the wealth he had accumulated over so many years was more than enough to support several hundred people for dozens of days quite easily, it was just that it might not be easy to explain to his father when the time came.

Trying to be sneaky was also impossible, because if the grain was to be sent to the Xuanyuan Tribe, he had to use a Large Ship. Moving the grain from his storehouse to the Matou would also cause quite a stir; it was impossible to keep it hidden. The only thing he could do was to confess for leniency and resist for severity.

He would go and explain it to his father in a while. At worst, he would just endure the family discipline. From childhood to adulthood, the family discipline had never been used on him. He had seen it, and he felt that this time he might just get a beating, but no one could say for sure; after all, the final right of interpretation still rested in his father's hands.

After bringing the few people into the courtyard, all the servants hurried over to welcome them. Changle himself had twelve servants; he had brought two from the Xuanyuan Tribe to take care of his daily life, and here there were ten, responsible for various tasks. In Huaxia, having this many servants was not considered many; after all, the homes of Nobles had dozens or even hundreds of servants.

However, in terms of per capita, Changle's number of servants was quite high, and their quality could not be compared to the ordinary servants of those Nobles. The best things, of course, were definitely from the Royal Family.

"Arrange the rooms for them, one person per room, and then you all take them and show them how to use those things. Bai Shao, go call a Zhinu over; there are clothes to be made."

Changle suddenly paused, pulled Ayuduo, and said to all the servants: "From now on, remember clearly: she is Ayuduo, my wife, your mistress."

All the servants immediately knelt down and bowed to Ayuduo. Ayuduo accepted it happily, but she still whispered to Changle: "Who are these people?"

"These are my servants, responsible for taking care of my daily life and cleaning this courtyard. Usually, if you have anything to do, just order them directly. However, they are different from ordinary Slaves, so you cannot treat them the way you treat Slaves.

I see that there are a few too few maids now; I will ask my mother for a few more, so it will be more convenient to take care of you."

The maid named Bai Shao immediately said: "Master, your mother has already been here and has already instructed us. The Zhinu is on the way, the fabric is already prepared and can be selected now, and the maids need you and the Princess Consort to select them."

Hearing that his mother had arranged things so properly, Changle was also very happy; he did not need to fuss about it himself.

"Alright, then you all get to work."

The servants immediately dispersed. They took the Chieftain of War and the others to the rooms where they needed to live, while Changle took Ayuduo to his room. Bai Shao opened the door for Changle; the inside was very tidy, and on the table, various fabrics and animal skins were already piled up.

As soon as Ayuduo saw them, she could not take her eyes off them. Changle could not bother to introduce anything else and directly pulled Ayuduo to look at the fabrics, and Bai Shao also hurried over to introduce them.

"These were sent by your two mothers together; there are four colors of fabric and six colors of Silk.

This piece of hide was a gift from Queen Sui, and this piece of hide was a gift from Princess Consort Chinv.

This bolt of new Silk was sent by Princess Miaoyin, who said it was the latest she had woven. It is the first special Silk of our Huaxia, made with the best technology. The Peony embroidered on it is a gift for the Princess Consort.

And here are three boxes of jewelry, which they also sent together."

Changle was very happy to hear this. His mother and sister seemed to value Ayuduo very much; they hadn't even met her yet, and the gifts had already arrived. Perhaps they thought he would be with his father for a long time, so they didn't wait for him. That was fine; he would go see them in the evening. He still had to go find his father in a while.

However, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Then what about my brother? Did he not send anything?"

Bai Shao shook her head slightly and said nothing.

Changle was not angry; the relationship between the two of them did not need to be nitpicked over such things, but he still muttered: "My brother is still so stingy."

Ayuduo was completely immersed in joy. Looking at so many beautiful fabrics in front of her, she could not believe it. Moreover, even ordinary Hemp Cloth could be woven so tightly, and there were so many colors; it was truly too beautiful.

And the Silk; she really could not imagine that the incomparably precious Silk was just piled up in front of her, and it was not just pure white. She touched it lightly with her hand, not daring to use too much force.
