The two felt a blur before their eyes, as if they had traveled through time and space, and found themselves standing in a decorated space.
This space perfectly blends the classical elegance of the Song Dynasty with the modern feel of technological innovation.
What they noticed first was the room's layout. The entire space was predominantly wooden, with simple and flowing lines, revealing the minimalist elegance of Song Dynasty architecture.
The wooden beams and crossbeams are carved with intricate patterns, possessing both the classical beauty of the Song Dynasty and a modern simplicity and elegance.
Several landscape paintings in the style of the Song Dynasty are hanging on the wall. The landscapes in the paintings have a profound artistic conception and delicate brushstrokes, making people feel as if they can feel the spirit of the landscapes in the paintings.
The frame is made of modern materials, simple yet textured, forming a striking contrast with the classical painting, yet harmoniously unified.
As for the furniture, what they saw were tables, chairs and cabinets in the style of the Song Dynasty, with simple and elegant shapes and smooth lines.
Each piece of furniture has undergone a special surface treatment, combining the warm touch of wood with modern technological elements, such as concealed light switches.
The ground is paved with antique-style bluestone slabs, and the gaps between the slabs are handled just right, which not only preserves the rustic texture but also makes it look neat and clean.
Hidden beneath the stone slabs is a modern heating system, providing warmth and comfort, making it pleasant to walk barefoot on.
What attracted their attention most was the room's water system. A small indoor water feature, simulating the flowing water of a Song Dynasty garden, created a tranquil atmosphere with its gentle murmur. The water feature cleverly incorporated technological elements, featuring clear water and an efficient circulation system that was both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly.
The lighting design throughout the space is also unique. Although it is mainly in the classical style of the Song Dynasty, the use of lighting is a manifestation of modern technology. Hidden LED light strips are laid along the edges of the wooden structure, and the soft light illuminates the space without compromising the classical beauty.
Next, they went to the garden.
The garden's design also blends classical Song Dynasty style with modern technological elements.
The garden features exquisite rockeries and flowing water. The rockeries are made of natural stones, and the flowing water creates a tranquil and serene atmosphere.
The garden's plant arrangement is also quite ingenious, featuring both pine, bamboo, and plum trees commonly found in Song Dynasty gardens, as well as ornamental plants from modern horticulture, such as colorful flowers and uniquely shaped shrubs. These plants not only beautify the environment but also receive meticulous care through an intelligent irrigation system.
In one corner of the garden, there is a modern-style rest area with comfortable outdoor furniture and parasols.
The rest area is covered with environmentally friendly materials, which are both beautiful and durable.
The entire garden landscape has both classical charm and modern comfort and convenience.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a smile. The Song Dynasty-style decor had been perfectly interpreted in a modern way, possessing both classical charm and modern comfort and convenience. This style of decoration was undoubtedly the most suitable choice for them.
"System, where will the drinking water supply be connected?"
Lin Qing saw the water pipe and asked the system curiously.
"According to the system's scan, drinking water can be connected to the well in the yard or to the spring water on the mountain."
"Then let's connect to the mountain spring water! The underfloor heating and bathroom water will be connected to the mountain hot spring water!"
Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "If the underfloor heating is connected to the hot spring water on the mountain, then there will be no need to burn boilers in winter. With the continuous flow of hot spring water under my feet, Lin Qing can imagine how warm it will be here in winter. If the design is reasonable, it can probably really be spring-like all year round."
"Ding... Setup successful. The drinking water system is connected to the mountain spring, and the underfloor heating system and bathroom are connected to the mountain hot spring. In addition to the underfloor heating installed indoors, all areas in the courtyard where underfloor heating can be installed have been successfully installed!"
Lin Qing nodded after looking at it, and then checked the bathroom.
"I want to redesign the bathrooms in the system. I want each room to have its own toilet and shower, as well as a hot spring bath, and I also want to add an outdoor hot spring bath in the courtyard! And a swimming pool!"
"Ding... Design successful!"
"The system will be designed as a dual-system for all water systems: use the hot spring water system in winter and the mountain spring water system in summer!"
Gu Nanxun thought for a moment and added.
"Yes, we absolutely need a dual system. Otherwise, if we keep the underfloor heating on in the summer, it'll be unbearably hot!"
"Ding... Design successful!"
Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing spent a long time in the newly renovated space, adjusting many details until they confirmed that there were no problems before they were satisfied with the renovation plan.
Lin Qing glanced at Gu Nanxun, who nodded. "Then we'll choose this style. System, start the renovation!"
"Ding... The decoration style has been selected. The system will officially begin the decoration. Please wait a moment, host."
With the system notification, a simulation space appeared before Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun. This simulation space was a miniature version of their entire courtyard. Through the simulation space, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun could see every detail of the renovation process.
From demolishing unnecessary walls to construction, and then to placing furniture and decorations, every step is clearly visible.
"System, how long will the renovation take?"
"Please wait patiently for one hour!"
…………
One hour later...
"Ding, congratulations on the successful renovation. Please leave the blueprint space within ten minutes."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun immediately left the decorated space and went to the courtyard.
What comes into view is the exact same decorating style as what I saw in the interior design space.
Lin Qing looked at the newly renovated house with a look of surprise on her face.
"Nanxun-ge, I don't want to go back!"
Lin Qing held onto Gu Nanxun's arm and said with a reluctant expression.
"It's fine if we don't go back. We'll have our uncle pass on a message that we'll stay here tonight!"
Gu Nanxun suggested with a smile.
I think it's a good idea!
Lin Qing's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. Although the place had just been renovated and there were no daily necessities yet, Lin Qing had everything in her space, and she could buy anything she didn't have on Taobao.
"Alright! Let's choose a courtyard as our future home."
Gu Nanxun smiled and patted Lin Qing's head.
"Let's go with the Summer Palace! It seems to be the largest courtyard, and should be considered the main courtyard!"
Lin Qing pointed to the Summer Palace on the map and said to Gu Nanxun with a smile.
"Okay, let's go then!"
After saying that, Gu Nanxun took out an electric car from his spatial storage and drove Lin Qing towards the Summer Palace.
