The Lufu West Cross Courtyard Diligent Study Pavilion is the place where the children of the Lu Mansion are enlightened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When Lu Chongyu, the third young master of Lu Fu, was ten years old, he resigned from Mr. Xixi Jiang and went to study at the Qingshan Academy privately set up by the descendants of the virtuous "Mr. Xiangshan". Therefore, now only Lu Ruxue, the eldest lady of the Lu Mansion, is studying with Mr. Jiang.

Every year, the lecture is held on the new day of the apricot moon, and the class is closed on the sunny day. Because of the beginning of the month every year, the third room of the Lu Mansion has to go to Yingtianfu to visit relatives, and each time it goes for three months, it will not return to the ancestral house until the end of the first month.

After the lecture, one day off every ten days, because on this day, Lu Chongyu, who was studying in Qingshan Academy, would also go home from rest, and it was rare for the family to get together.

In the days of Lu Mansion in Huaiyuan County, Lu Ruxue began to follow Mr. Jiang to lecture for an hour at the beginning of every day. After that, she will follow Aunt Liu, who came out of the palace and is now working in the Lufu needlework room, to learn from the female celebrity for an hour.

Take an hour's break at noon. At the beginning of the day, I followed Mr. Liu, who taught piano skills, to learn for an hour. On occasional days, I follow Mr. Bai, who teaches painting, to learn for an hour. After Shen Shi is his own time. However, every night, his father Lu Chengyao would play two games with his daughter, which could be regarded as teaching her chess skills.

Lu Chengyao himself is a talent in Hongwu for 14 years, if it weren't for the fact that the two brothers have entered the court as officials, and the old lady Lu is afraid that the Lu Mansion will be powerful, which will cause the emperor's suspicion, Lu Chengyao would not be today, and he is just a showman.

However, Lu Chengyao has not given up his career in the imperial examination because of this over the years, and in addition to taking charge of the Lu family's business every day, he is still self-taught. So I really don't have time to teach my daughter personally.

And Lu Ruxue has been extremely intelligent since she was three years old, and it only took one month to learn the "Thousand Character Text" when she was enlightened at the age of four, which took five months less than her son Lu Chongyu. Later, Lu Ruxue learned "The Book of Filial Piety", "University" and "The Mean" before the age of six. At that time, the old lady of the Lu family had already made it clear that the children of the Lu family, both men and women, should study and improve.

Therefore, Lu Ruxue has been able to study with Mr. Jiang until now. Lu Ruxue is 12 years old this year, and in the past six years, she has read the Analects, Mencius, the Book of Songs, the Book of Shang, the Book of Zhouyi, the Book of Rites, and the Zuo Chuan. Because she is a woman and cannot take the imperial examination, Mr. Jiang is not limited to only talking about those subsets of scriptures and histories, such as "Erya" that Lu Ruxue is reading now, which is a vassal of scriptures.

In ancient times when there was no entertainment, others might take reading as a hardship, but Lu Ruxue was always willing, so no matter what Mr. Jiang taught, she was very serious. Mr. Jiang often sighed secretly behind his back, Miss Lu was not born as a man, otherwise with his intelligence and sensitivity, he would definitely be crowned on the gold list one day. Even if Mr. Jiang himself failed repeatedly, there might be a disciple who was so promising, and he could raise his eyebrows.

After 12 years of studying, Lu Ruxue realized that although her dynasty is inconsistent with history, the things experienced by each dynasty and the people involved also have similarities. For example, the Analects she read, which was also written by a disciple of Confucius. As for why she came here, history was tampered with, and she had no way to verify. It is not known what kind of talented people have changed history since they came here. But she doesn't have that strong ability, and she doesn't have that strong desire. She just wants to live this life safely and smoothly.

However, in order to better understand the dynasty she was in, since she was ten years old, she would send people to various parts of the Great Zhou every year to draw a detailed "Great Zhou Kanyu Map", but she did it without her family. Fortunately, since she was three years old, she built a medicine garden in Fuzhong, and after many years of operation, in Huaiyuan County, she has purchased three shops, and also bought 100 acres of fertile land outside the city to build a medicine village Yaopu.

In the Lu family's generation, there are three boys, two girls and five children in the third room. Lu Ruxue is the only junior who does not rely on the family business, does not reach out to his parents to ask for money, and has a small fortune on his own. For this reason, Mrs. Lu also complained that her daughter was not intimate enough. But Mrs. Lu thought it was very good.

However, Lu Fu's family rules are strict, and although Lu Ruxue has taught herself the art of Qihuang, she is not allowed to see and treat outsiders. Although they have purchased shops, they are not allowed to make money in business. However, when Lu Ruxue bought a shop, it was not because she had the intention of running her own business, but because the cognition of her previous life made her a little eager for real estate.

Today, all three shops are rented out, and they can collect 30 taels of rent every month. The 100 acres of medicine outside the city are planted with the high-grade medicinal materials recorded in the "Shennong Baicao Jing", such as asparagus, licorice, Bupleurum, Maimendong, gentian, fine puncture, parsnip, cassia seed, Du Ruo, Coptis chinensis and so on, a total of 20 kinds of medicinal materials. And she also used the medicine village to boil ejiao. The annual income of Gu can reach 300 to 500 taels.

Coupled with her monthly silver of five taels per month, she also has sixty taels a year. Coupled with the income from the shop and the medicine pu, she can make a net income of at least 700 taels a year. In addition to these, every year, Mrs. Tai, two aunts and mothers are rewarded on the New Year's Day. After a small calculation, it is a thousand taels of silver a year. Therefore, raising more than a dozen people to draw the "Great Zhou Kanyu Map" for her is not a big deal.

and Mr. Jiang, in the east and west halls, after breakfast, Lu Ruxue practiced calligraphy to the end of the morning, and Mr. Jiang's class ended today. ordered Caixing to send Mr. Jiang out of the West Cross Courtyard, and the little maid who served in the outer courtyard sent Mr. Jiang out of the house.

Caiyue helped Lu Ruxue back to her East Courtyard, which was similar to the West Courtyard, which was originally only used as a guest room. But Lu Ruxue wants to build a medicine garden, and she likes to be independent and quiet, so she has insisted on moving here since she was three years old.

In the embroidery pavilion in the east wing, Aunt Liu was already waiting there. This Aunt Liu is Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today, and she was released from the needle bureau in the palace three years ago because of her age. Aunt Liu is originally from Huaiyuan County, Fengyang Prefecture, so although she no longer has relatives here, she still returned to her homeland to settle.

By chance, I entered the Lu Mansion and worked in the sewing room. Mrs. Lu San felt that she was good at embroidery, and she knew how to be polite and disciplined, in addition to letting her teach her daughter embroidery every day, she also taught her daughter rules and etiquette, so although Lu Ruxue was far away from the capital, her behavior was no different from that of the ladies in Beijing. Therefore, Mrs. Lu San added an extra two taels of monthly money to Aunt Liu every month.

In fact, when Aunt Liu came out of the palace, she had a small asset, even if she didn't work in the Lu Mansion, it was enough to survive and protect herself. But she is a woman, if she can't rely on something, she will soon be targeted by some ruffians and frivolous children. That's why she chose to come to Lu Mansion in the first place, not to make a living, but just to find a place to live. However, since Aunt Liu taught Lu Ruxue, she quickly fell in love with this serious, not delicate, and intelligent Miss Lu Fu, and even regarded her as her own and taught her.
