This time Lin Zhu did not deal with it by randomly choosing names like before. After all, he came to the capital, so the eight people were named Minglu, Cuishuang, Qingyu, Manxue, Yingchun, and Panxia in order of age.
Remembering autumn and pitying winter.
Several people were very happy to accept their new names, which were much nicer than the names they had given to girls at random by their families. In the countryside, if you give birth to a girl, it is basically not a famous name, let alone a famous one.
A nickname is considered good, otherwise it would just be a big Ya Er Ya name.
Although he had a place to live, Lin Zhu felt that it was a bit cramped for eight people to live in two rooms, so he asked Feng Yuanbo to find a carpenter to see if he could make a double-decker wooden frame bed. This way, each room would have enough space.
Comes in a small space.
The carpenter who was called in had heard of such a bunk bed for the first time, and he couldn't help but be curious about what it would look like. So when Lin Zhu handed him the drawing, his eyes could not help but shine, and he looked at it intently.
"How about it, can Master Qi make it?" The carpenter's surname was Qi, and he was a master of the Qi family's wood shop. The Qi family happened to live in the same alley as Lin Zhu, so they chose him.
"Well, it looks pretty simple. I have to go back and give it a try." Because this was the first time he encountered this kind of thing, Master Qi didn't guarantee it, but said cautiously that he would try it.
His attitude made Lin Zhu very satisfied, and he didn't pretend to understand. So he showed him some furniture styles from his previous life, but Lin Zhu was very careful not to bring out anything too shocking. It was just two-doors.
Or a three-door standing cabinet, but even these made Master Qi feel that he had opened his eyes.
Nowadays, people only put clothes in boxes. If you are not careful, there will be a lot of wrinkles on the clothes. If you use the style of these standing cabinets provided by Lin Zhu, you can not only hang the clothes, but also put some other things.
With things inside, the storage function is much better than that of a box.
The other standing cabinets all have doors, but Lin Zhu's own one was not designed by Master Qi. Lin Zhu specially arranged a room as his own cloakroom. All the clothes and shoes were hung up like those of the famous ladies in the previous life.
There is also a specially built cabinet for displaying shoes.
If it weren't for the fact that the jewelry was too conspicuous, Lin Zhu would also have wanted to build a shelf. However, because he didn't want to show off his wealth, he gave up the idea.
The double-decker wooden frame bed was made very quickly. Within two days, the four beds were delivered to Lin Zhu's house. They were polished very smooth and had no burrs at all. Half of the guardrails were added to the upper bed.
After moving to two rooms, not only Lin Zhu felt very satisfied, but the little girls were almost overjoyed. Although they could remain reserved in front of Lin Zhu for a while, when she went out, everyone was stroking the new bed happily.
. He laughed happily, "Miss, you are so smart. You can even think of such a thing." Ming Lu, the eldest, had stars in her eyes with admiration. "Hmm." Several other people nodded like her.
"Master Qi's workmanship is really good." Lin Zhu returned to the front hall and asked Butler Feng and Master Qi to pay their wages.
"No, no, Miss Lin's drawings are so good. We really admire such clever thinking." Master Qi shook his head repeatedly. It didn't matter that Lin Zhu's double-decker canopy bed was given to them for nothing. Even the cabinets were just like that.
symbolic collection
After paying dozens of taels of silver, Mr. Qi was very moved. He had already given instructions that anything Lin Zhu wanted to make would be free of charge. "This money will not be used. Before I came, the master told me not to accept Miss Lin's money. If we did, we would
There’s no need to go back.”
After talking about this, Lin Zhu couldn't force it anymore, so he ordered Feng Yuanbo to bring out a jar of wine, "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 an unexpected blessing to have the wine. Master Qi happily took it and said that the cabinets and other items would be delivered soon before leaving Lin Zhu's house. But after he took a sip of the wine, he
He regretted sharing it with other craftsmen who worked with him. But even if he wanted to keep it, no one else would do it.
After all the things Lin Zhu wanted were delivered to Qijia's wood shop, Lin Zhu ordered a lot of furniture with them. However, this time Lin Zhu did not agree to give it for free and paid a deposit for everything. But Xiao Lin still had to wait for Xiao Lin's future.
After Zhuang's house was built, they wouldn't know how much to build, so they just asked them to prepare beds and cupboards for ten rooms first, and the rest would be added later.
What Lin Zhu wanted was considered a big business for the carpentry shop. Mr. Qi was very happy that the new neighbor could 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
After meeting, he also said hello to several other families, saying that the new neighbor was a nice person. But with his publicity, Lin Zhu had a good impression in the hearts of the heads of the neighbors.
Now that several people have been arranged, Mrs. Xu began to train. The first is etiquette, the rules between advance and retreat, etc. The second is, everyone should use their talents. If they are excellent in any aspect, Mrs. Xu will focus on it.
nourish.
Since Minglu and the others entered Lin Zhu's house, they felt like they were in heaven. Although Xu's mother's training was very unfamiliar to them and it was not easy to accept, they had never been beaten or scolded. Daily meals
It’s also very good. Not only can they eat enough, but they can also drink bone soup every day and eat meat once every three days. This is unimaginable for them. In the past, they could only get it during the Chinese New Year at home.
When eating a piece of meat, some people have never even tasted the meat.
Therefore, each of them regarded Lin Zhu as a heaven-like existence in their hearts.
Since having them, the others have also felt a lot more relaxed. In the past, only Luo Shi and Zhao Xiaocao were busy in the kitchen, and they would be very tired every day. Now there are three more people, although they are just doing simple things.
It also greatly reduced their workload.
Xu's mother also specially arranged for someone she thought was suitable, Ming Lu, to be with Lin Zhu, and Qing Yu to be with Fu Dou'er. Both of them are twelve years old and have experience in taking care of their younger siblings at home.
So it is appropriate to arrange it next to them.
Because Feng Rongxuan and Haizi were there at Fu Dou'er, Qingyu might sometimes have a harder time, so Lin Zhu asked Xu's mother to arrange for Yingchun to go there as well. Except for Cui Shuang and Man Xue, who helped in the kitchen, the remaining three
Randomly assign tasks to do.
With this, the manpower was almost enough, and Lin Zhu was also ready to make arrangements to invite the ladies and ladies from several neighbors to come over for a banquet.
Mrs. Qi took the invitation and found her daughter, "Zhu'er, you and your mother can go to this house for a banquet in a few days."
Qi Zhuer is sixteen years old this year. She has a beautiful appearance and a good figure. She has always been a famous beauty in the area, so she thinks very highly of herself. However, her family also indulges her and hopes that she will marry a good family, preferably a good one.
Those with official positions.
"Who invited you?" Qi Zhuer was practicing writing. She was unwilling to be laughed at before, so she was working hard.
"Didn't a family move in a few days ago? It was a post from her family. It just so happens that the girl from that family is about the same age as you, so it would be nice to get to know her." Mrs. Qi actually followed Master Qi's words and came to call her.
As a daughter, she actually didn’t pay much attention to this neighbor who had just moved from the countryside.
"That country person?" Qi Zhuer frowned. Although her family was just a merchant's home, she looked down on those country people, thinking that they were earthy and dirty and not worthy of standing with her. "Mom,
I won’t go. If you have someone to meet, I’m sure the conversation won’t be fruitful, so don’t go either. Just send someone to give you a congratulatory gift.”
"This is your father's personal order, telling you to follow mother there." Mrs. Qi said helplessly, "You think mother is willing to go."
"Why would dad care about such a thing?" Qi Zhuer stopped writing, "By the way, why would I invite you? Shouldn't it be dad?" she asked a little strangely.
"I heard that this family is headed by a girl. She seems to have no parents." Mrs. Qi did not inquire clearly. She only heard this from Mr. Qi.
"Then I won't go. I have nothing to say with such a public person." After Qi Zhuer finished speaking, she lowered her head again and looked at her handwriting.
Mrs. Qi saw that her daughter's attitude was very resolute, so she did not force herself any further. However, she felt it was inappropriate not to bring a girl with her, so she had to let her concubine Qi Yun'er take over.
When Qi Yun'er heard the news, she was very excited. She had always been a transparent existence in the eyes of her aunt, and now that she could take him out with her, it was great news. But her aunt was not very satisfied.
The master heard that it was just an invitation from a country girl. If he hadn't heard that several ladies around him would bring their daughters, she would have stopped her at all costs.
"Auntie, it's very rare for me to go out for a walk. It would be nice if that girl is someone I can talk to." Qi Yun'er fiddled with her clothes and jewelry.
"What's so good? It's not because my daughter didn't want to go that I asked you to do it. Huh, I don't know her yet." My aunt said angrily.
"No matter what the reason is, it's dad who has spoken. Maybe it will be good." Although Qi Yun'er is not favored by her aunt, her father treats her and her sister Qi Zhu'er equally. There is something he will never forget.
Her share.
"That's true, the master is very accurate in judging people." My aunt thought for a while and agreed with Qi Yun'er's statement. "Then you dress up well. Don't lose the face of our Qi family." My aunt remembered something.
One set, now I'm picking out clothes for Qi Yun'er.
"Auntie, even though that girl arrived in the capital, she did come from the countryside. I can't dress up too much when I go there, 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.
