Chapter 24 The Mobile Building is Completed
A month after arriving at the courtyard in Leyang, Bei Yi returned with good news.
Not only did Master He help set up several sets of mechanisms and furniture, but he also sent over the house plans to assist the locals, fearing they wouldn't know how to install the mechanisms.
Wu You entrusted the RV matter entirely to two bodyguards, and all the necessary expenses were covered by Chunlu Qiushuang.
Nanfeng & Beiyi: After being idle on Xianyu for quite some time, we finally have something to do. This is our own work scope, and it's not hard at all. It's so much better than before.
But why do the little princess's two bodyguards have to lie on the trees all day long, without doing anything else? They look so leisurely. This comparison is really disheartening.
Leyang's two bodyguards, Changde and Changlong: Stop howling, that's all you've got. You two have been slacking off for so long, what have all the bodyguards said? Can't we at least have a few months of peace and quiet too?
Nanfeng & Beiyi: Brothers, come over and help us out!
Changde & Chimelong: Get lost! We don't have time. We need to protect the safety of our little princess. Do your own thing.
Nanfeng & Beiyi: Okay, we're off now.
Don't underestimate the ancients; their practical skills were remarkable. In less than a month, Nanfeng drove the six-horse-drawn small building to Wu You's courtyard.
Judging from its appearance, the RV is enormous, much more impressive than when it's on the ground. The house has two floors, and one wonders what it looks like inside. The exterior is simple, lacking any of the luxury one would expect from a princess.
However, the materials used are extremely particular, with each piece of wood being made of top-quality timber. Although it is not timber exclusively used by the royal family, it is still the finest material for building houses.
It's completely different from the small building that Li Lianhua converted from the dilapidated ship of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance in the drama; they're on completely different levels.
Nanfeng got out of the carriage and bowed to Wu You: "Greetings, Princess. I have fulfilled my mission and completed the construction of the small building. Please, Princess, board the carriage to inspect it."
"You've worked hard. Get up quickly, I'll go take a look." Wu You waved his hand, signaling Nanfeng to get up.
"Yes." Nanfeng stood up, pressed a button beside her, and a three-story staircase slowly extended out from the wooden wall. "Please, Princess."
"Quick, Tongzhu, go and call Li Lianhua out of the room so we can take a look together." Wu You took Leyang's hand: "Come on, let's go upstairs and take a look first."
"Yes." Tongzhu accepted the order and left.
"Auntie, this carriage is so big! It's really nice. It can run around inside. Can Leyang let them take me around?" Leyang stared at the RV with bright eyes.
"Sure, but let's go inside and take a look first."
Wu You and Le Yang went downstairs at the same time. The room inside was almost the same as their current room, except that there was no extra furniture. Every piece of furniture was just the right size, and any more would be superfluous.
Wu You and Le Yang wandered around. On the first floor, there was a kitchen and a living room. The dining table was placed in the living room, and there were two small storage rooms. There was some empty space around the house, where some vegetables and flowers could be planted by adding some wooden frames.
As Wu You and his companion finished exploring the first floor and were about to head to the second floor, Li Lianhua and Tongzhu also came up.
"Li Lianhua, come and see! The RV is finished, just like I imagined!" Wu You said excitedly.
"Okay, I'll take a look." Li Lianhua straightened her sleeves and walked straight inside.
The house wasn't very big, and it felt a bit crowded with five people standing there. When Wu You held Le Yang in his arms, the space seemed a little bigger.
"Nanfeng, show me all the mechanisms and folding furniture in here." Wu You was really curious about these ancient mechanisms.
"Yes." Nanfeng walked ahead, explaining the various mechanisms and their usage methods one by one.
…………
From explanation to demonstration, it took more than half an hour. The expressions on Wu Youleyang and Tongzhu's faces went from surprise to shock to numbness. They talked too much, and Wu You couldn't remember how to use it anymore.
"Nanfeng, you've worked hard. Has the manager of Tianji Manor gone back yet? Please be sure to thank him properly for me; I really appreciate it," Wu You said to Nanfeng with a cheerful smile.
"I'm not tired. The steward hasn't left yet, waiting for the princess to check. If she doesn't like it, we can make some changes. I will definitely thank the steward properly when we get back."
"If this cart isn't moving, unload the horses from it. You'll be in charge of feeding them from now on." Six horses eat quite a lot in a day, so Wu You tried to avoid it whenever possible.
"Yes, your subordinate will definitely take good care of them," Nanfeng replied, clasping his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Nanfeng, you take the princess around and ensure her safety. Tongzhu, you stay with the princess. Leyang, come back when you're done exploring, but don't get too carried away."
Nanfeng and Tongzhu: "Yes."
"Auntie, aren't you coming with us? Leyang wants to go with you." Leyang hugged Wu You's legs, looked up at Wu You and acted coquettishly, her little body swaying back and forth.
"Alright, let's go together." Wu You wanted to test the shock absorption effect of the equipment she had added, so she turned to Li Lianhua and asked, "Huahua, do you want to come and take a look?"
"Yay! Auntie is the best!" The little girl turned and ran towards the RV, calling out, "Auntie, come up quickly!"
In just over two months, the quiet little girl has become much more lively, and her body is no longer as weak as before; she is much healthier. This is all thanks to Wu You taking her up and down mountains and down rivers, digging and cutting grass. Many of the vegetables that Leyang eats were grown by her own help.
"I won't go. You take her and play. I'll wait for you to come back in the yard." Li Lianhua turned and went back to her room, intending to get a book to read in the yard.
Wu You and his group drove the RV around the area twice. They had to admit that the products from Tianji Manor were truly exceptional. With the shock-absorbing device that Wu You had brought out, the combination of the two meant that they could not feel any vibration at all, and all the furniture inside was completely fixed in place without shaking at all.
Moreover, a small building pulled by six horses is quite fast.
Wu You was very satisfied, and Le Yang was also very excited, running back and forth inside.
Once Wu You gets back and installs the wiring, the lighting will be perfect. However, since they'll be traveling, the wiring needs to be concealed, and the wires need to be hidden as well. As for other electronic products, they can be used if needed, but not if not; they just won't be mentioned.
Wu You and the others got off the carriage, their faces beaming with smiles. Li Lianhua quietly read a book in the courtyard, keeping watch over the house.
Tongzhu went to the kitchen to cook. Wu You sat next to Li Lianhua, casually poured a glass of water for herself and Leyang, and also refilled Li Lianhua's empty glass.
"Auntie, auntie, shall we go a little further tomorrow? Leyang hasn't had enough fun yet. Wouldn't it be even more fun if we went a little further?" Leyang had just taken a sip of water when he excitedly tugged at Wuyou's sleeve and swung it around.
Wu You untied her sleeve and said helplessly, "We just got back, okay? Alright, alright, we'll go tomorrow, and we'll bring some food from the small building, okay?"
"Yay!" Leyang jumped around the stone table and clapped his hands happily.
