Pang Shi and others need to regulate their bodies, but Lu Mingxuan, Lu Mingyuan and others do not.
They were grateful to Yu Zizhen for protecting the Lu family. As soon as they settled down in the palace, Lu Mingxuan, Lu Mingyuan and others came to Yu Zizhen to arrange tasks for them.
Yu Zizhen didn't hesitate and directly included Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingyuan in her guards.
As for the other people in the Lu family.
General Lu's wife, Pang Shi, planned to give her the title of housekeeper, and let her help deal with all the trivial matters in the three courtyards, except for Lu Mingxuan where she lived and her experimental fields.
She planned to appoint General Lu's daughters-in-law, Zheng and Liang, as housekeepers, and have them be responsible for teaching her maids etiquette, reading and writing, and accounting.
As for her servants, Yu Zizhen planned to assign a permanent servant to teach them how to read and write, and how to do accounting.
All of her attendants were smart and capable people selected by the King of Zhenbei, and they were quite capable of teaching her servants.
In this way, Jiang Yunshan can be transferred out for other purposes.
After consulting General Lu's daughter Lu Mingxian, Yu Zizhen included her in the ranks of female guards.
Of course, for Lu Mingxian's personal safety, Yu Zizhen would not take her out of the house, nor would she really let her take the responsibility of protecting herself. She suggested that she learn martial arts, just hoping that she could have more skills to protect herself.
Just like what she said to Lu Mingxian, she couldn't stay in the palace all her life. It wasn't like she was going to jail.
Lu Mingxian is also very hardworking. Family changes have transformed her from a pampered young lady from an official family into a brave, resolute and hardworking girl with her own opinions.
The three little ones of the Lu family, General Lu’s youngest son Lu Mingzhuo, and his grandsons Lu Wenzhen and Lu Wenbo, are still young and not old enough to serve.
As for their studies, they have Lu Mingxuan, Lu Mingyuan, Pang, Zheng and Liang to teach them in turn, so Yu Zizhen doesn't have to worry about anything.
Of course, whether these people were working or learning skills, they couldn't all take up their positions right away. Their first priority was to take care of their health.
As for the original servants of the Lu family.
As the only maid in the Lu family, Qin Ma, Pang's wet nurse, was not assigned any other tasks by Yu Zizhen. She was only required to continue to help the female members of the Lu family take care of General Lu's youngest son Lu Mingzhuo, and his grandsons Lu Wenzhen and Lu Wenbo, as before.
Considering the age and physical condition of the housekeeper Lu Fu and the three disabled Lu family guards Lu Tie, Lu Shan and Lu Dazhuang, Yu Zizhen asked Lu Fu to be in charge of managing the courtyard where the new Lu family members and servants lived, and asked Lu Tie, Lu Shan and Lu Dazhuang to temporarily help her test her experimental fields.
Lu Mingzhuo's original servants Wubao and Liushun, Yu Zizhen asked them to study hard with her servants and strive to grow into useful people in the future.
Lu Mingzhe's chief attendant Wu Shun, Lu Mingheng's chief attendant Wu An, Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingyuan's respective attendants Lu Zhong and Lu Yong, were also included in Yu Zizhen's own guard team.
Of course, considering that the turmoil in the Lu family has not yet passed, Yu Zizhen will not take them out for the time being.
All she needs these people to do now is to train hard and persistently according to the training plan she gave.
After settling this group of people, Yu Zizhen resumed her regular and busy daily life.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the things she has to do in her daily life, she also added a new daily task to herself after the end of this rest day.
What is it?
It is the word for longevity.
June 21st was the 56th birthday of the Empress Dowager Da Lu. Yu Zizhen had to send a decent gift, but she was the one who even used the official account of the Zhenbei Palace in Beijing to send the Dragon Boat Festival gifts to the Zhenbei Palace in the northern border. How could she possibly spend so much money to prepare an expensive gift for the Empress Dowager?
If you don’t want to spend money, then you can only win with the word “thought”.
Therefore, Yu Zizhen started her show of painting the Hundred Longevity Picture in the South Study more than a month in advance.
Not only did she write it in the Southern Study, she also claimed that she wrote it when she returned to the palace. She even consulted many Hanlin scholars for this purpose and learned from them how to write the word "Shou" in other fonts.
After learning, she continued to practice hard on her own.
With this attitude, no one can say that she is not attentive or deliberately perfunctory.
As for being worthless, well, if we only measure the value of a gift by its price, wouldn't it make the civil and military officials, royal family, and nobles of the Great Qi Dynasty seem like a bunch of vulgar people obsessed with money?
Precisely because she knew that even if some people thought her gift was worthless, the word "worthless" would never become the mainstream comment of the world, so Yu Zizhen would unscrupulously put on a show and send the empress dowager this birthday gift that was somewhat similar to the saying "A gift of a goose feather from a thousand miles away is more valuable than a token of love."
Unlike the eldest prince, when he learned that Yu Zizhen's birthday was the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, he actually gave her a heavy gold necklace inlaid with rubies a day in advance.
The gold necklace was as thick as a child's wrist. The rubies on it were not only bright in color, but the smallest one was as big as a pigeon egg. It looked very expensive and noble.
This gift is quite what he wanted, _(:3」∠)_
Yu Zizhen was so happy that he invited the eldest prince to come to the Zhenbei Palace that day. "It happens to be the tenth day of the lunar month, so we don't have to go to class. We can play all day long."
The eldest prince was deeply moved, but in the end he very rationally rejected Yu Zizhen's invitation.
He was still a child and had a strong curiosity about the outside world, but he didn't dare to go out of the palace without permission.
Even in the palace, he was always careful not to go to any place that might give others an opportunity to take advantage of him, such as the water's edge, the top of a long staircase, or the palaces and gardens that were beyond the reach of his father.
He didn't want to make his father worry, nor did he want to implicate Yu Zizhen who secretly detoxified him and treated his legs, so he very rationally suppressed his desire and curiosity about the outside world.
Yu Zizhen felt sorry, but she did not force him.
This conversation between the two took place in the South Study, so soon those who were well-informed knew that Yu Zizhen was about to celebrate his birthday.
Yang Shixian, Fang Huaiying, Chen Hushan and others also gave gifts as gifts, while the emperor, the empress dowager and the queen each sent rewards to the Prince of Zhenbei's Palace.
After receiving the reward, Yu Zizhen was supposed to go and express her gratitude, but the empress dowager and the queen sent a message telling her not to go there specifically to express her gratitude.
Yu Zizhen was eager to avoid going to the harem, a place of trouble, so he bowed and thanked the eunuch who came to deliver the gifts from afar in the direction of the palace.
