Chapter 143: Renovating the new home, laying tiles, and scraping putty



After all the tiles were laid, another month passed.

However, after the floor tiles in front were laid, Mu Ruxue took the newly trained guards and started to putty all the rooms.

Therefore, tiling and puttying are carried out almost at the same time.

In just one month, not only were the tiles laid, but the latex paint was also applied.

This is also thanks to the two best friends who led different teams to work together.

Yun Ruoxi was laying tiles in front, and when the construction was ready, Mu Ruxue led people to start scraping putty and applying latex paint.

So the speed was much faster. Yun Ruoxi was very grateful that there were enough people, otherwise, it would not have been possible to go so fast.

After Mu Ruxue scraped off all the latex paint and let it dry for 3 to 5 days, Xiao Jingxuan took the servants to start cleaning.

The furniture that I ordered earlier has also been delivered one by one.

It took a full two months to renovate the houses, and both the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion and the Xiao family’s mansion were fully decorated.

From the outside, it still looks like the style of the Daye Dynasty, but the interior decoration is all imitating modern design.

In the dim morning light, with mist still lingering around the new house, quite a few people had already gathered.

When all the yards were decorated, everyone stood at the door of the new house, their eyes full of anticipation and curiosity, chattering and discussing, and couldn't wait to step into this mysterious new home to find out.

"Look at this! The Xiao family's house looks magnificent!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, focusing everyone's attention on the house in front of them.

Yun Ruoxi was wearing a simple and elegant long dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes gleaming with confidence. She turned to look at the equally elegant Mu Ruxue beside her and said softly, "Let's go in and take a look."

Mu Ruxue smiled and nodded, and the two of them walked side by side in the front, their postures elegant and calm, like fairies walking out of a painting.

With a creak, the gate slowly opened, and a breeze with an ancient yet novel atmosphere blew in.

Everyone rushed in, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the quaint courtyard.

The path paved with bluestone slabs winds forward, with various flowers, plants and trees planted on both sides. It looks vibrant under the nourishment of the morning dew.

The corridors are carved with exquisite patterns, with flying eaves and brackets, showing the charm of ancient architecture.

"This yard is so beautiful!" Exclamations came from the crowd.

Yun Ruoxi introduced the layout and features of the courtyard to everyone as they walked. Everyone listened with great interest and expressed admiration from time to time.

They walked along the path, looking at each house.

When the door of a room was opened, the bright glass instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The sunlight shines into the room without reservation through the glass, illuminating the entire house, which is completely different from the dim room before.

Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, and their faces were filled with disbelief.

"This...what is this thing? How can it be so transparent?"

An old man stretched out his trembling hand and touched the glass cautiously, his face full of surprise and curiosity.

Yun Ruoxi explained with a smile: "This is glass. With it, the room will become bright and warm."

Everyone was amazed, gathered around the glass to look at it carefully, and kept talking to themselves.

Not only that, each room is decorated with unique ingenuity.

In addition to traditional ancient furniture, Yun Ruoxi also ingeniously placed a number of modern sofas, soft sofa cushions, and exquisite pillows, which complement the ancient furniture and there is no sense of incongruity.

There are also some modern decorations hanging on the wall, including colorful paintings and uniquely shaped pendants. Every detail is eye-catching.

As they walked, they came to the bathroom.

As soon as the people from the Duke of England's Mansion stepped in, they were attracted by the clean and bright environment. They looked around curiously, their eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

Seeing this, Yun Ruoxi gently patted the shoulder of her personal maid, Wenshu, and said, "Wenshu, tell everyone how to use these things."

The clerk had long been interested in these novel things. When he heard the young lady's instructions, he immediately stood in front of everyone with high spirits, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Everyone, please look, this is a toilet."

The clerk pointed at the toilet and explained earnestly, "When you use the toilet, just sit on it. When you're done, press the button here and the water will flush away the waste."

As she spoke, she demonstrated it herself, and everyone watched with rapt attention.

"Then what is this?" someone asked, pointing at the bathtub.

"This is a bathtub. You can take a bath in it. Fill it with hot water and sprinkle some flower petals on it. It will be so comfortable to soak in it."

The clerk gestured as he spoke, a proud smile on his face.

Then, the clerk introduced in detail how to use the shower and sink, from the toilet to the bathtub to the shower and sink, everything that could be seen was explained in great detail.

Yun Ruoxi added, "This is our new home. I've equipped each bathroom with plenty of bath towels, hand towels, hair dryer caps, and toiletries, including shampoo, shower gel, toothbrushes, toothpaste, facial cleanser, and soap. We have everything you need, so it'll be convenient for everyone to use in the future."

Before, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were planning to make money by doing business with these modern things.

But thinking of the drought and war that would come later, the two best friends gave up the idea of making money.

In this era, it is more important to save your life and there is no need to rush to make money.

Don’t forget that Mu Ruxue also has the Super Rich System. As long as there are silver bills coming in every day, Mu Ruxue can double them.

So no one ever worries about money.

Zhao stroked the translucent glass window lattice, her eyes reflecting the sunlight that filled the room, and sighed sincerely: "This new house looks so bright and spacious. I didn't expect a new house could be built like this."

Her voice was filled with longing for a new life, as well as gratitude towards Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue. If it weren't for this pair of best friends traveling through time, no one would have had the chance to see such modern decoration.

The two brothers Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

During this period, they made up for their lack of modern knowledge and realized that these novel designs were the unique styles of Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue's hometown.

Xiao Jing looked at the children playing in the courtyard, a relieved smile on his face: "Yes, we have finally settled down in Taohua Village."

Everyone walked in, chatting and laughing, and the threshold of the second courtyard naturally separated the curious villagers.

Yun Ruoyang looked at the modern objects in the room, his fingertips brushing against the soft sofa fabric. He turned to look at Yun Ruoxi and said, "Sister, was the Duke of England's mansion next door also built to this standard?"
