Chapter 192: Housewarming Banquet
This time, Lin Zhu didn't just take a name to deal with the past like before, after all, he came to the capital, so the eight people were called in order of age, Minglu, Cuishuang, Qingyu, Manxue, Yingchun, Panxia, Nianqiu and Sympathy.
A few people were very happy to accept their new names, which were much better than their previous names that were casually chosen by their families. In the countryside, it's a girl who is born, so it's basically a big name, and it's good to have a small name, otherwise it's a big girl and a second girl.
Although there was a place to live, Lin Zhu felt that it was a little narrow for eight people to live in two rooms, so he asked Feng Yuanbo to find a carpenter to see if he couldn't help but make a double-layer wooden frame bed. In this way, there is a lot of space in each room.
It was the first time that the carpenter had heard of such a bunk bed, and I couldn't help but wonder what it would look like. So when Lin Zhu handed him the pattern, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he looked at it intently.
"How about it, can Master Qi make it?" The carpenter's surname is Qi, and he is a master of the Qi family's woodware shop, because the Qi family also happens to live in the same alley as Lin Zhu, so he was chosen.
"Well, it looks pretty easy, I'll have to go back and try it." Because it was the first time he had seen such a thing, Master Qi did not guarantee the ticket, but cautiously said that he would try it.
His attitude made Lin Zhu very satisfied, and he didn't pretend to understand. So he showed him some of the styles of furniture from his previous life, but Lin Zhu was very careful not to come up with anything too shocking. It's nothing more than two-door or three-door cabinets and the like, but these are what also make Master Qi feel that he has opened his eyes.
Nowadays people just pack their clothes in boxes. If you don't pay attention, there are a lot of wrinkles on the clothes, if it is like the style of these cabinets provided by Lin Zhu, the clothes can be hung up, not to mention, you can also put some other things in it, compared to the storage function of the box, it is much stronger.
The other cabinets have doors, only Lin Zhu's own did not let Master Qi design to go out, Lin Zhu specially arranged a room as his cloakroom, all the clothes and shoes are modeled after those celebrities in the previous life. All hung up. The shoes are also specially made in a cabinet to put together.
If it weren't for the fact that the jewelry was too conspicuous, Lin Zhu would also want to build a shelf. However, for the reason of not revealing his wealth, this idea was dispelled.
The double-layer wooden frame bed was made very quickly, and the four beds were delivered to Lin Zhu's house in less than two days. And it's very smooth and there's no hair at all. The upper beds are half-guardrailed.
After moving to two rooms. Not only Lin Zhu felt very satisfied. Those little girls were almost overjoyed. Although she could be reserved in front of Lin Zhu for a while, when she came out, everyone was caressing the new bed. Hee-hee-hop laughing. "Miss is so smart, she can even think of such a thing." The biggest dew adores the stars in the eyes. "Uh-huh." Several others nodded their heads like her.
"Master Qi's craftsmanship is really good." Lin Zhu returned to the front hall and asked Steward Feng and Master Qi to pay their wages.
"Where, where is it, it is Miss Lin's pattern that is well drawn, such a clever mind, it really makes us admire." Master Qi shook his head again and again, Lin Zhu's double-layer shelf bed looked like it was not counted for them, and even the appearance of those standing cabinets was only symbolically collected dozens of taels of silver, Master Qi was very moved, and he had already instructed that everything Lin Zhu wanted to do was free. "This silver is not needed, the old man ordered that Miss Lin's money cannot be collected, and if it is collected, we don't have to go back."
When it came to this, Lin Zhu couldn't force it anymore, so he instructed Feng Yuanbo to take a jar of wine out, "Master Qi, this is home-brewed rice wine, it tastes good, please don't dislike it." ”
Although he didn't get the money, it was also an accident to have wine, so Master Qi happily took it, and said that he would send it over in a few days, and then left Lin Zhu's house. It was only when he took a sip of the wine that he regretted sharing it with the other craftsmen who worked with him. But even if he wanted to put it away again, no one else would do it.
After Lin Zhu sent all the things that Lin Zhu wanted, Lin Zhu ordered a lot of furniture from them, but this time Lin Zhu did not agree to be free, and all paid a deposit. However, we will not know how much Lu Dao will do until the house in Xiaolinzhuang is built in the future, so I just let them prepare the beds and cabinets of ten rooms first, and add the rest later.
What Lin Zhu wanted, it can be regarded as a big business in the woodware shop, Master Qi is very happy, the new neighbor can take care of his business so much, so when Lin Zhu's invitation was handed over, he not only agreed to let his wife go to the meeting, but also greeted several other families, only saying that the new neighbor was a good person. However, with his publicity, Lin Zhu can be regarded as having a good impression in the hearts of several neighbors' family members.
Now that a few people have been settled, Xu began to train. The first is etiquette, the rules between advance and retreat, etc., and second, each does its best, if you are excellent in any aspect, Xu will focus on training.
Since Minglu and the others entered Lin Zhu's house, they felt like they had gone to heaven, although Xu's mother's training was very strange to them, and it was not easy to accept, they had never been beaten and scolded. The meals are also very good every day, not only can I eat enough, but I can also drink bone broth every day, and I can eat meat every three days. This is unimaginable for them, who used to only get a piece of meat to eat during the Chinese New Year, and some have never even tasted meat.
Therefore, each of them regarded Lin Zhu as a sky-like existence in their hearts.
Since having them, others also feel a lot more relaxed, in the past, only Luo and Zhao Xiaocao were busy in the kitchen, and they would be tired every day, but now there are three more people, although they are just doing some simple things, but they have also greatly reduced their workload.
Xu's mother also specially arranged for a person she thought was suitable for Minglu to follow Lin Zhu, and Qingyu was arranged to be by Fu Dou'er's side, both of them are twelve years old, and they also have experience in taking care of their younger siblings at home, so it is also appropriate to arrange them by their side.
Because Fu Dou'er has Feng Rongxuan and Haizi there, Qingyu may sometimes be hard, so Lin Zhu asked Xu's mother to arrange for Yingchun to go over, and the others except Cuishuang and Man Xue helped in the kitchen, and the remaining three were randomly assigned to do what to do.
In this way, the manpower is almost the same, and Lin Zhu is also ready to start arranging to invite the wives and ladies of several neighbors to come over to the banquet.
Mrs. Qi took the invitation and found her daughter, "Zhu'er, you and your mother will go to this banquet in a few days." ”
Qi Zhu'er is sixteen years old this year, beautiful in appearance, good in figure, and has always been a famous beauty around, so she thinks very highly of herself, but her family also indulges her, and also expects her to marry a good family, preferably with an official position.
"What kind of invitation is it?" Qi Zhu'er is practicing writing, and she was laughed at before, and she was unwilling, so she is working hard.
"Didn't you move in with a family the other day? It's a post from her family.,It just so happens that the girl in that family is about the same age as you.,It's good to get to know you.。 "Mrs. Qi actually listened to Master Qi's words before she came to call her daughter, and she didn't pay much attention to this neighbor who had just moved from the countryside.
"The redneck?" Qi Zhu'er frowned, although her family was just a merchant's house, she looked down on those countrymen, thinking that they were dirty and dirty, and they were not worthy of standing with her at all. "Mother, I'm not going. If there is anything to know, you will definitely not speculate, and you will not go, just send someone to send a congratulatory gift. ”
"This is what your father personally ordered, so that you must follow your mother." Mrs. Qi said helplessly, "You think your mother is willing to go." ”
"How could Daddy take care of such a thing?" Qi Zhu'er stopped writing, "By the way, how could I invite you, shouldn't it be Daddy?" She asked, a little strangely.
"I heard that this family is a girl in charge, and it seems that there are no parents." Mrs. Qi didn't inquire very clearly, and she still heard these from Master Qi's mouth.
"Then I won't go, and I have nothing to say to such a showman." After Qi Zhu'er finished speaking, Fu lowered his head again and looked at what he had written.
Mrs. Qi saw that her daughter's attitude was very resolute, and she didn't force it anymore, but she didn't think it was appropriate not to take a girl with her, so she had to let her concubine Qi Yun'er go on top.
When Qi Yun'er heard the news, she was very excited, she had always been a transparent existence in the eyes of her mother-in-law, and now she could take it out with her, which was already great news. It's just that the aunt is not very satisfied, she has already heard from Master Qi that it is just an invitation from a country girl, if it weren't for the fact that several ladies around her will also bring their daughters to go, she will stop anything.
"Auntie, it's very rare for me to be able to go out for a walk, and if that girl is someone who can talk, it's not bad." Qi Yun'er fiddled with her clothes and jewelry.
"What's good, it's not that my daughter doesn't want to go, so I let you go on top, hmph, I don't know what to say about her." The aunt snorted angrily.
"Whatever the reason, it's always Daddy who speaks, maybe it's going to be good." Although Qi Yun'er is not treated by her mother-in-law, her father treats her and her sister Qi Zhu'er equally, and there is nothing that will not forget her.
"That's right, the master is very accurate in looking at people." The aunt thought about it and agreed with Qi Yun'er's statement. "Then you dress up. We can't lose face for our Qi family. "My aunt remembered that one set was another, and now she picked up clothes for Qi Yun'er.
"Auntie, although that girl is still from the countryside when she arrives in the capital, I can't dress too much, otherwise it will make her uncomfortable." Qi Yun'er is only twelve or thirteen years old, but she already knows how to be considerate of others. (To be continued......)
