Hu Ji was obviously used to her son's independent thinking. After a little hesitation, she followed her son's wishes and agreed to Yu Zizhen's enthusiastic invitation.
Yu Zizhen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the tall teenager with some surprise.
Hu Ji pinched her washed-white coarse cloth with her fingers and said, "I have two sons and a daughter. My youngest son and my youngest daughter are both at my house now. I need to pack my things and take the children with me."
Yu Zizhen nodded, "Then I'll send someone to take you back."
Hu Ji nodded, "Okay."
She thought Yu Zizhen was afraid that she would run away secretly, but in fact, Yu Zizhen was afraid that those ruffians would secretly block Hu Ji and her son on the road while he was away.
Leaving Feng Yuan behind to lead the way for Hu Ji's family of four, Yu Zizhen got on the carriage and, accompanied by Yaoguang and others, went back to the Zhenbei Palace to arrange accommodation for Hu Ji's family.
She told the housekeeper Yu Tong about the matter, and Yu Tong immediately sent someone to arrange accommodation for Hu Ji's family.
Since Yu Zizhen positioned Hu Ji as a female teacher who taught music theory, even though she was a Hu person, Yu Tong still arranged a separate small courtyard for her.
That small courtyard is one of the small cross-courtyards attached to one of the three courtyards. It is located next to the wall on the other side of the three courtyards and is the courtyard farthest from Lu Mingxuan in the entire three courtyards.
As soon as Yu Zizhen saw the geographical location of the courtyard, he knew that although Yu Tong treated the Hu Ji female teacher as a gentleman on the surface, he was actually still very prejudiced against her identity as a Hu person and a singer.
This prejudice seemed to be engraved in his bones, so much so that he was not aware of his subconscious rejection and contempt for Hu Ji's family.
Yu Zizhen sighed in his heart, but did not insist on correcting Yu Tong's unconscious contemptuous attitude.
Not to mention how difficult it is to change the inherent ideas of human beings, just look at the population base of the capital city and the Great Qi. She has a child who is called the prince but is actually a hostage. Can she really educate others one by one not to discriminate against the Hu people and those children with Hu blood?
This is not the time and space where she lived in her previous life, and Da Qi is not the prosperous and inclusive Tang Dynasty that people in later generations are proud of. Since Hu Ji and her three children live in such an environment, they have to learn to have a big heart.
Thinking of this, Yu Zizhen decided to talk to Jiang Yunshan later and ask him to pay attention to channeling Hu Ji's three children's emotions and guide their healthy growth when educating them.
Yu Tong acted quickly. As soon as Yu Zizhen finished talking with Jiang Yunshan about the education of Hu Ji's three children, Yu Tong had already arranged accommodation for Hu Ji's family of four.
Yu Zizhen went in and took a look around, and found that everything he needed was there. He couldn't help but admire Yu Tong and the housekeeper he chose.
Of course she likes subordinates who work quickly and well, but it's a pity that these people are loyal to the King of Zhenbei, and she will one day conflict with the King of Zhenbei and grab the same piece of cake.
With a sigh in her heart, Yu Zizhen silently clenched her fists. Isn't it just a talent? She can cultivate it herself!
She was just thinking about where to recruit people next when Hu Ji brought her three children and followed Feng Yuan to the third courtyard of the palace to report to Yu Zizhen.
Hu Ji's family was extremely nervous. They never dreamed that the young master who helped them and invited Hu Ji to be their mistress was actually the prince of Zhenbei Palace.
The Zhenbei Palace is well-known throughout the Da Qi. The Hu Ji family living in the capital has naturally heard of it a long time ago, but they never dreamed that they would be related to a top wealthy family like the Zhenbei Palace.
"Bye, yeah, the prince." Aisha, the Hu girl, stuttered as she knelt down with her three children.
Yu Zizhen smiled and helped her up, "Come and see the small courtyard I had people prepare for you."
Seeing that she was in her usual attitude, Aisha's tense body relaxed a little. She thanked Yu Zizhen and carefully entered the courtyard with her three children.
Although the courtyard is located in a remote area and is small in size, its interior has the same quadrangle layout as other courtyards.
The three main rooms and the three east and west wing rooms can be used for living, while the back room can be used as a kitchen and storage room.
Aisha was used to being cautious. Even though Yu Zizhen said that the main house had been decorated and she could move in with her children, she still only moved into the east wing with her children.
There are three rooms in the east wing. She lives with her three-year-old daughter, her ten-year-old eldest son and her five-year-old second son. She plans to decorate the main room in the middle and use it as a flower hall for receiving guests.
After leaving the luggage and two younger children in the care of her eldest son, Aisha immediately went to find Yu Zizhen and asked him when she started working.
Yu Zizhen couldn't say for sure. She said, "My friend may or may not have time to come over, so I'm not sure when you'll need to teach him. But don't worry, he'll only come ten times a month at most, and the times he needs you to teach will be even less, so he won't overwork you."
Aisha was a little uneasy. If she didn't have to do anything, would what Yu Zizhen had promised her before still count?
The way she seemed to be hesitant to speak made Yu Zizhen guess what she was worried about.
"What are the names of your three children?"
"Chen Ze, Chen Qing, Chen Lu."
Yu Zizhen raised an eyebrow, "Surname Chen?"
Aisha nodded. "My former family's surname was Chen. I'm from an outsider, and my child has no father, so like many other children born in foreign lands, I took the surname Chen."
Among slaves, taking the master's surname was not considered as forgetting one's roots, but rather was considered an honor. Aisha's children were able to take the master's surname Chen because they had a kind mistress of the house.
Not only had the mistress always been kind to her servants, but after her husband was dismissed from office, she did not follow the example of other families on the verge of bankruptcy and sell their slaves and actors. Instead, she directly returned their indentures and generously gave them severance pay.
Aisha was very grateful to her for this. Even though she has become a good citizen now, she still prays for her safety and well-being in her heart.
Instead, it was the man who first took her as a concubine, but then quickly turned against her and made her continue to be a singer. Aisha has almost forgotten what he looks like.
"Chen Lu is still young and not old enough to go to school. Chen Ze and Chen Qing can start studying, practicing martial arts, and learning crafts with the others starting tomorrow. Remember to have them arrive at the martial arts training ground and Tingfeng Cottage on time."
