Chapter 61: The Beginning of the Feast
Don't talk about the gossip of these villagers, and talk about Ge Maosheng's side.
The gift list was read for a long time before the sound of the boy singing the single salute stopped, and then the people from the Huichun Hall came to explain, "There are congratulatory gifts from a few friends of Dr. Ge in the carriage outside, as well as the congratulatory gifts from our shopkeeper and Kong Zaitang, please come with me to hand it over." It's a gift list, but you don't have to sing it. ”
Ge Maosheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by the attendant with a smile, "This director doesn't have to worry too much, this gift list is handed over to Dr. Ge, and she will naturally know who sent it." ”
The person who gave the gift said this, and he immediately asked Ge Xiaowu for his opinion, and he also got her reply. Even she agreed to the method proposed by the person from the Rejuvenation Hall just now, and he naturally had no objection.
So he arranged for someone to follow him to hand over the things, and then prepared to send all the gifts he had just received to the side hall connected to Ge Xiaowu's boudoir. The key Ge Xiaowu has been handed over to Aunt Xianggui, and she will lead someone to properly place the congratulatory gift.
Ge Xiaowu's house lives alone, and it looks very big, but the medical hall is small. In addition, there were a lot of people here today, which completely broke her previous idea of not wanting to hold a banquet.
Therefore, this banquet had to be set up, not only did it take advantage of the excitement to invite Wang Yiqing and others, but even the people in the village took advantage of the excitement to gather money to come.
As soon as this situation was reported to Ge Rumo, what could she do, she could only smile bitterly and ask Ge Xiangfu and others to help Zhang Luo with the banquet.
Not long after, Ge Ba and his wife came, and Ge Changqing and his wife also came over to help with a few older children. Even Ge Qijin's family was forced by Ge Ba to come.
There are more and more people coming to Ge Rumo, and the main hall that was originally intended to be a consultation room has been opened to entertain guests, which is used to entertain Wang Yiqing and others. It's not good to arrange for the folks who came to congratulate to go in. A few of the desks in the examination room were also moved into the room that was intended to be used as a patient lounge, and the contents were all new, and this room was not suitable for entertaining guests. And the storehouse where the medicinal herbs are stored is even more impossible.
At this time, even the courtyard was equipped with borrowed tables and chairs. When Ge Rumo was asked if she wanted to cut them down, she told them to save as many trees as possible. Of course, if it's too much of a nuisance, it doesn't hurt to cut it. Fortunately, there were only two in the way, and the other two remained, and now they grow in front of and behind the courtyard of this house, one south and one north. Now that there are these two trees, Ge Rumo's house is not too hot, even in the yard, it is cool.
But that's not enough, after all, it's all open-air hospitality, and it's not nice to say. So Ge Xiangrong's eyes fell on Ge Rumo's four ear rooms. Of the four ear rooms, one was used as a decoction room, which could not be used; One is Ge Rumo's own kitchen, which is now also busy; The room where the grain is stored is not easy to open.
When the doctors who came to congratulate learned that Ge Xiaowu had also prepared a decoction room here, some were thoughtful, and some were disapproving.
Of the four ear rooms, only Ge Rumo's bathroom, which serves as a bathroom, can be used to greet guests. So the room was opened, and there was not much in it, except for a wooden barrel for bathing, a wooden hanger, and a triangular drying rack. These things have been hidden by people with curtains drawn before letting people in. But I couldn't stop the curiosity of the people in the village, and someone secretly went to see it.
When people found out that the room used as a temporary reception room was Ge Xiaowu's bathroom, they felt very uncomfortable.
Although the house is a mud house, it is almost as good as an ordinary person's house, but it is better than a new one.
And there is no cement here, no floor tiles, but this bathroom Ge Rumo doesn't want to take a shower and gets wet for days. She had some flat rocks fetched from the mountain, spread on the ground, and there were several light and dark ditches underneath. In addition to the bathroom, there are five main rooms. For this reason, she also went to the town through Zhao Carpenter Uncle Zhao to personally invite a master craftsman who is good at stone masonry to do this. There are also these stones, which were also mined in the mountains, and they were equipped with simple gunpowder themselves, and specialized in the business of striking stones.
Fortunately, Ge Rumo asked for stones, only asked for leveling, and did not pursue a large area, and the price was reasonable.
Ge Rumo came to see it when the master craftsman started, and he also brought something similar to cement, but the color was much lighter than that of cement mortar. But Ge Rumo knew she was looking for the right person as soon as she saw this thing, and sure enough, when she came over again, she saw that the stones on the floor of the finished house were neatly paved.
She paved the ground with stones, and the movement was so loud that many people in the village were curious to visit it at that time.
People who have seen it think that she is too particular both in their mouths and hearts, but Ge Rumo ignores their thoughts. In her opinion. This is necessary.
Her own living room, furnished more comfortably, she would like. Compared with the wooden floor and tile tiles she lived in before, the worst is the cement floor, and her house is only paved with flat stones, which is already very simple. Again, it's a way to protect against moisture. Otherwise, if you live in a muddy house all year round, it is easy for moisture to get into your body. Nowadays, people are not afraid of this by working all year round, but the elderly are different.
In this way, the simple and elegant arrangement of the bathroom deeply touched the hearts of the village, from the daughter-in-law to the little girl, and the men did not care, they just wore pants and washed a bucket or two of water in the yard at night. But those girls can't.
Using such a large room as a bathroom, even the richest outsider in their house is not affordable in every yard, right?
At this moment, Ge Qijin and his wife came in with several children. Seeing them, some people laughed, and the little taste in their hearts quickly dissipated. Compared to them, I'm afraid that Ge Qijin and these people will be even more uncomfortable when they see this bathroom, right?
At this moment, they saw Ge Maosheng leading a group of gentlemen over, all of whom were carrying or holding things in their hands. At first glance, these are congratulatory gifts from others.
And the Xianggui aunt in the front is holding a freshly hit key to open the lock.
Those who had been here knew that she had opened a room that Ge Xiaowu had kept for his own use, and the daughters-in-law and girls looked at each other, and then pushed and shoved and followed. Ge Ruxi was unwilling to be left behind by the Zhou family, and Ge Ruyu and a few people also followed.
When I saw the scattered furniture in the room where Ge Rumo was used as a flower hall, the people in the room were amazed, praised, silent, and sour.
"This shelf is so beautiful, I don't know what kind of wood it's made of?"
"It's a chaise long, right? It's so beautiful. ”
"Do you smell a scent?"
After someone reminded them, everyone sniffed them, and there really was.
"This couch by the window is really comfortable to sit on."
"Why is this table so low, but when you put it together, it really looks like it's indescribable."
Some of the people looked around, some of them looked around, and some of the bold ones sat directly to experience one or two.
"Mother, when I get married, you will give me the whole set, right?"
Syllable! "Don't be ashamed, what are the girl's families yelling about, our family will have their own arrangements at that time, and you can't lose it!" Anyone with eyesight knows that these things in Ge Xiaowu's house are not cheap.
