After finishing the conversation, Lu Zifeng was about to take his two younger brothers back to rest, but was stopped by Lu Mingyuan.
"Brother Feng, if we go to the capital city tomorrow, should we take your grandparents with us?"
After hearing what Lu Mingyuan said, Lu Zifeng also remembered what he said when he visited his grandparents today.
"Dad, we must bring grandpa and grandma to the provincial capital. I made an agreement with them today that I will bring grandpa to the farm to help with the autumn harvest in a couple of days."
"I'll let grandma live in the city when the time comes. She'll just be a companion to mother. I've also prepared two maids for grandma to serve. They'll live in the courtyard behind where you and mother live."
Lu Mingyuan felt relieved when he heard Lu Zifeng say this. He was really afraid that the child would forget his grandparents. Now it seems that he was worrying too much. This child has always been cautious in doing things.
Early the next morning, Lu Zifeng came to the old house, and after much persuasion, he helped the old couple onto the mule cart and drove to the provincial capital.
Lu Mingyuan followed behind with his two remaining sons, Yunniang and the little girl Lu Zixuan.
Half an hour later, the family entered the city and came to Lu's residence.
Lu Lancheng got out of the car and looked at the magnificent gate in front of him in surprise, as well as the plaque on it with the words "Lu's House" written on it.
Qian Bo had already come out and greeted everyone. He also paid his respects to Mr. and Mrs. Lu Lancheng, as well as Yunniang and the young master and young lady.
The family surrounded the old man and the old lady and entered the main hall of the second courtyard. Here, Lu Zifeng ordered Mrs. Qian to call all the servants over.
Soon a group of servants arrived.
Lu Zifeng assigned tasks to the servants according to the people he had decided on earlier.
First, two maids aged fifteen or sixteen were chosen as examples. These were the maids prepared for the old lady Xu, and the old lady named them Dongmei and Qiuju respectively.
Yunniang's two maids were probably about fifteen or sixteen years old. Yunniang named them Chunlan and Xiahe.
My younger sister's two maids were about thirteen or fourteen years old. Yunniang gave them the names Zizhu and Qingzhu.
Lu Ziyan's two servants were nicknamed Shijian and Shoujian.
Who knew that when the name came out, everyone laughed at it, and in the end Lu Zimo gave them the names Lu Yu and Lu Qing.
Lu Zimo named his servants Lu Mian and Lu Yan.
Lu Zifeng directly named his two servants Lu Si and Lu Lei.
These servants had all read some books under their masters in the past and knew a few words, but from now on they would have to learn one more thing, which was martial arts.
In addition, these maids were all from wealthy families. Lu Zifeng had also examined them and found that their character was acceptable, so he bought them to serve his mother and others.
As for his father's long-time attendant, he planned to pick two clever teenagers or young men from the farm below, and also go to Guo Ya's place to buy two more astute people, so that they could accompany his father outside. After all, his father was still young and it was impossible for him to stay in the farm. He still needed to go out.
As for his grandfather, Lu Zifeng planned to find two middle-aged men who knew about farming to serve as his grandfather's permanent attendants. After all, the old man had been farming all his life, so they would definitely have common topics.
After the master and the servants had met each other, Lu Zifeng let them go. He then helped Lu Lancheng and Xu to the backyard, the third courtyard, which would serve as the old couple's yard from now on.
Who knew that just as they walked into the corridor, Zhuzi from the gatehouse came running to say that Guo Ya's people had arrived. Lu Zifeng had no choice but to let his father accompany his grandfather to the backyard.
"Go and invite Guo Yaren in!"
After saying that, he returned to the front yard reception room.
Soon Guo Yaren came in.
"Oh, has Young Master Lu moved into a new house?"
"Yes, I just moved in. Mr. Guo, please take a seat. Why are you here today...?"
Seeing that Lu Zifeng didn't want to say more, Guo Yaren tactfully stopped talking about it and said.
"Didn't Master Lu say a few days ago that he was going to find some old maids? What a coincidence! Today, six maids came to our place. They are all maids from the Xichang Marquis Mansion in the capital. These maids were sold out because their masters made mistakes. They are all of good character."
When Lu Zifeng heard that they came from the capital, he was a little unhappy. You know, people who come from such a marquis's mansion are all very cunning. With the temperament of his mother and grandmother, it is likely that they will find it difficult to control such people.
Guo Yaren glanced at Lu Zifeng, guessed what he was thinking, and said directly.
"Master Lu, these maids are from the Xichang Marquis' Mansion in the capital. Although the Xichang Marquis' Mansion has been confiscated and he's been imprisoned, these maids are quite good. To be honest, I was asked to do this. These maids have close ties with the nobles in the palace, and they were just brought to me. I hope I can find a stable place for them to live out their retirement."
Lu Zifeng was even more surprised when he heard this, and looked at Guo Yaren suspiciously.
"You mean, these maids are all related to the nobles in the palace, but why are they in the Xichang Marquis' Mansion?"
Guo Yaren also knew why Lu Zifeng was suspicious, so he said this.
"To be honest, Master Lu, my aunt serves the Empress in the palace. These maids were sent to the Xichang Marquis' Mansion to serve under the Empress' orders. I think Master Lu probably has an answer to this question. The Empress also promised them that they would be allowed to return home to retire when this matter was settled."
"Not long ago, before these maids arrived, I received a letter from my aunt. So after much thought, I decided that your place is the most suitable. These maids haven't done anything harmful over the years. They've only been secretly passing on information to the Empress."
Lu Zifeng nodded and said, "Since you say so, then I agree to your request. You know, we are not a wealthy family, and there is no such thing as intrigue. After they came to my Lu family, they only had one request, and that was to be loyal and take good care of my mother, grandmother, and sister."
When Guo Yaren saw that Lu Zifeng agreed, he immediately smiled and thanked him hurriedly.
He was also in a dilemma. His aunt had written a letter asking him to find a good host for these maids, but it was not that easy to find one. Now that Young Master Lu was willing to take these maids in, he was naturally very happy. These maids were like hot potatoes here. If he was not careful, he would offend his aunt and the Queen.
When Lu Zifeng saw Guo Yaren's expression, he knew that this matter must be true. It seemed that Guo Yaren had indeed been a headache these days.
After seeing Guo Yaren off, Lu Zifeng headed towards the third courtyard. He happened to meet Lu Mingyuan and his wife returning with their three children. After asking, he found out that the old couple had taken a rest in the backyard after inspecting the yard.
