"I heard that Mrs. Zou often comes to the palace to ask for an audience these days?" Song Huan asked lazily in the study.
Luo Junyao sat opposite her and smiled casually: "Old man, it's hard to accept the reality for a while. We have to understand."
Song Huan smiled and said, "As long as you don't feel uncomfortable, the application for admission to Anlan Academy's new students is about to begin. Mr. Zhang asked me to tell you to come over and have a look when I have time. In addition... I'm afraid the situation in Linglong Academy will not be too good this year.
The academy has received many letters, saying that they will not send their own girls to school this year. The new ones are even more... There are no new students in Linglong Academy this year."
Luo Junyao didn't care, "Isn't that right? We just don't have the money to maintain the huge expenses of Linglong Academy."
Because the academy had only two colleges before, Linglong Academy and Martial Arts Academy, and the number of students in Martial Arts Academy was counted in single digits, so the entire Anlan Academy did not get much money from the court every year, and more than 90% of it was used for Linglong Academy
On the body.
Song Huan reminded: "If you do this, you will offend a lot of people."
Luo Junyao said: "How many people have I offended now? I don't have to worry if I have too many debts. In fact, I have never understood the meaning of Linglong Academy? Whose girl only started teaching chess, calligraphy, painting and needlework when she was twelve years old?
?And those three obediences and four virtues, can't they be taught at home?"
Song Huan raised his eyebrows and said: "If there were no Linglong Academy, I'm afraid Anlan Library would have ceased to exist long ago." Linglong Academy itself is the result of a compromise between Anlan Academy and all parties. Of course, without Luo Junyao's sudden change, this compromise would have finally ended.
I'm afraid it will still end with Anlan Academy disappearing.
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right. But now that Anlan Academy no longer has the support of the imperial court, I have advanced the money for this year's operation. I can't be allowed to lose money to train brides for those powerful people, right? From now on, Linglong Academy's Shu Xiu will be renovated.
Ten times, in principle we recommend students of Linglong College to choose other colleges."
Song Huan pressed his eyebrows and said: "I think Anlan Academy will fall into your hands one day."
Luo Junyao was also aggrieved. She didn't know how much money she had to pay in order to carry forward the academy left by Xie Anlan.
If there is still a chance to meet Xie Anlan, the woman should kowtow to her a few times to thank her for her great contribution.
If others knew that she opened a school and eventually turned it into a bridal training institution with three obediences and four virtues, she would definitely be ashamed.
"That's not necessarily true, just take a look." Luo Junyao took out a box from the drawer and handed it over. Song Quan opened it with some confusion, only to see many envelopes inside.
It was packed in a thick box, at least dozens of letters.
Song Huan picked up a few letters and opened them. He raised his head and looked at Luo Junyao in surprise, "Are these all?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Of course, someone told me two days ago that even if I succeed and be suppressed by the superiors in the future, I will still go back to the original point. But you see... Even though Anlan Academy has been suppressed for so many years, there are still people who remember it.
In your heart, you want to change, don’t you?”
The owners of these letters are all noble ladies of Shangyong. Some of them are famous ladies who are still in Linglong Courtyard, and some are ladies or concubines with lower status who are not qualified to enter Linglong Courtyard.
Some people in the letter said that they wanted to transfer to several newly opened academies, and another girl said that she wanted to transfer to the Martial Arts Academy, but she was worried that her family would not agree. As for those women who were not qualified to enter Anlan Academy, without exception,
They chose the Martial Arts Academy or the other four newly opened academies. Some just asked if their status allowed them to enroll, while others said that they had already convinced their families and hoped that the academy would accept them by then.
Song Huan's initially solemn look softened and he said: "If all these people can come, the scene will not be ugly by then."
Luo Junyao said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will only be more than these. I have never worried about this problem."
Song Huan raised his eyebrows, and Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I am still the regent princess, and my father is still General Luo, right? Even if those scholars don't want to see me, there are always people who are willing to see me."
Dad Pin is so confident.
It's not that she has to fight against her father, but this age of cheating doesn't give her this chance.
Song Yan suddenly realized, "You are right. It seems that as long as you can stop those scholars from making trouble, we have nothing to worry about."
Luo Junyao said: "Who said there isn't? We are still short of money. How can the academy run without money? The future prospects of those students are also very important. If these are not solved, they will not last long."
Song Huandao: "There is no need to worry about this. I think we should wait until the hospital can be successfully opened before we consider it."
The main thing is that these worries cannot be solved in an instant. Things always have to be done slowly one by one.
"A'rui said she can't go to the academy to be a teacher. What's wrong? She plans to be a young lady at home after getting married? Or does Mr. Luo have any other plans?" Song Huan asked, changing the subject.
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and looked at Song Huan without saying anything.
Song Xuan cupped his chin and said with a smile: "Stop pretending. Your Luo family hastily canceled the appointment period just because General Luo and his wife are in a hurry to drink their daughter-in-law's tea."
Luo Junyao smiled slightly and said, "Keep it secret first."
"Okay." Song Huan nodded and said, "So, after you sent out the Shangyuan Festival post, seven gentlemen from Anlan Library resigned. What are your plans?"
Luo Junyao said: "How big of a deal is it? Are you worried that no one will teach you about the things in Linglong Academy? Mr. Zhang didn't mention this to me. She must be able to solve it by herself."
Song Huan was silent.
Indeed, isn’t it true that the ladies in Shangyong learned most about music, chess, calligraphy and painting? It’s really not difficult to find a few people who are willing to teach.
Song Huan sighed and said: "It seems that you really know everything, so I don't have to worry. The weaving mill will start work in a few days, and I may not have so much free time. They have already tried it these days.
I bought a new loom, and the cloth weaved is very good, and it saves time and effort. I can’t hide this. If someone comes to you in the future and wants to buy a loom from you, what should we do?"
Luo Junyao said: "Of course I will sell it, I have already negotiated a deal."
"What business?" Song Huan asked curiously.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Weaving Bureau, they are very interested in my loom. I took down the workshop where I used to make looms. I will specialize in producing various instruments in the future. Of course, I will also sell them to the outside world. I will give them to the weaving bureaus in various places first."
Just right?"
"It will be very hard for you to do it alone, right?" Song Huan knew that those looms were drawn by Luo Junyao. If he wanted to set up a specialized workshop, he would naturally not be able to sell only looms.
And once this thing sells too much, sooner or later someone will figure out how to imitate it.
Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course we have to recruit other people. I don't want to immerse myself in drawing every day. There are also students from Tianji Academy. I have to find some places for them to do things in the future."
Song Huan nodded, "It seems that you have thought everything through, so there is no need for me to worry. I'd better just worry about the weaving mill. I don't understand the workshop either, so I probably can't help you with anything."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "You have helped me a lot. By the way, you don't go to the academy anymore. Is there no problem at home?"
For the noble girls of Shangyong, life is roughly divided into three stages: living at home before the age of twelve, going to Anlan Academy after the age of twelve, and getting married after leaving Anlan Academy.
If Song Huan doesn't go to the academy, then the Song family will start busy with her marriage anyway.
Song Huan said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I can handle it."
"Well, if you need any help, just ask. I can also introduce you to a few good-looking brothers with both civil and military skills." Luo Junyao said with a smile, Song Huan has always been the most reassuring, she is really
I'm not too worried about her.
Song Huan snorted lightly and said lazily: "Thank you, I will remember to look for you when I really can't get married."
"..." The young brothers I introduced are all really top-notch young men. How can I wait until I can't get married?
"By the way, the eldest girl from the Liu family came back with her, did you know?" After talking about the business, Song Quan remembered something and asked.
Luo Junyao nodded and said, "You know, what are the Liu family's plans?" Not only did she know, she might have met the girl. Although it was just a brief encounter, Luo Junyao felt that the girl was not a dumpster.
.
Song Huan shook his head and said: "No, it is said that it is still the mourning period for the Queen Mother, and it is not convenient for the Liu family to hold a big banquet. However, this matter has caused quite a fuss in the imperial city, so the Liu family still sent news to their relatives and friends, saying that
The girl was named Ruoqiu."
"There is some truth to it. Let's wait and see after the mourning period for the Queen Mother." Luo Jun said. Although she was a little curious about the unlucky real daughter, she was not curious enough to want to keep an eye on the follow-up.
Song Huan shook his head and said, "The Liu family is already preparing to find her an in-law."
Luo Junyao paused while holding the teacup, and opened his eyes in disbelief, "She has only been home for a few days? Don't the Liu family want to spend more time with the girl?"
Song Huan raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't that right? Otherwise, why would I tell you this? The Liu family is anxious to marry her off."
"Why?" Luo Junyao asked in confusion.
It's not that she discriminates against country girls, but that in the eyes of powerful people like Shangyong, the current appearance of the Liu girl is really not very good.
The Liu family has just brought the person back, and is raising him at home for a while. Firstly, he can recuperate his body and teach him some etiquette and how to behave in the world. Secondly, he can also cultivate his relationship. At this time, if he is eager to see her, he can't find anything at all.
What a good family.
Song Huan shrugged and said, "Who knows this? But I heard some private rumors that the Sixth Young Master of the Chengguo Palace seemed to have a crush on Miss Ruxia, and the Chengguo Palace was planning to come to propose marriage.
"
"Zheng Jingchuan?" Luo Junyao said in surprise.
"You actually remember his name?" Song Huan was also a little surprised, and soon remembered it again, "By the way, the young master of Duke Chengguo's residence is in your residence, and he is the biological brother of the sixth master of Zheng."
Luo Jun shook his nose, not because of this.
It was only because Zheng Jingchuan and Xu Chengyu had tricked Xie Chengyou and Shen Lingxiang before that she was particularly impressed.
"How come they are related?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.
Song Xuan spread his hands and said, "How do I know this? I'm not familiar with the Zheng family either. If you're curious, you can ask Ari and your eldest sister. They should be quite familiar with Zheng Jingxi."
Luo Junyao thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with us. What do you mean...the Liu family wants to marry the Zheng family, so they are anxious to marry off the newly brought back girl?"
Song Huandao: "I don't know about this. After all, no one has seen the girl since she came back. The Liu family has kept a tight lid on it. I know about this because I heard about it from my aunt at home. The Liu family is secretly inquiring about the information.
, I asked about my little aunt’s family. My aunt’s family is only a minor official from the sixth rank. It’s such a happy event that the minister of the Ministry of Industry intends to get married, so I told everyone at home.”
Just listening to the little aunt's tone, she seemed to dislike Miss Liu.
Luo Junyao frowned, "It seems that this girl's situation in the Liu family is not good."
Song Huan couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that the Liu family doesn't let the girl go out now, otherwise...actually, I think it would be better if she could stay in the academy for a year before talking about other things. No matter which academy she is in, she can always learn something.
It’s better to adapt to the environment.”
Luo Junyao frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Please ask Mr. Zhang to send the girl a letter inviting her to enroll. As for whether she will go or not, we can't control it."
That's all they can do. If the Liu family insists on marrying off someone like this, no one else can care about it unless the girl herself doesn't want to.
Song Huan nodded, that was all he could do.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When she talked about this incident in front of Jun Yao, she also felt that the girl was a little pitiful.
But outsiders like them have no way to interfere in the affairs of the Liu family. Unless the girl can be tough herself, even the regent can't care about how other families raise their daughters or arrange their daughter's marriage.
Having said this, the two of them inevitably felt a little sad.
The atmosphere in the Prince Regent's Palace was a bit gloomy, but another place in Shangyonghuang City was lively.
In the mansion of a respected veteran minister, several gray-haired old men who looked quite Confucian were sitting around the stove drinking tea and talking.
"Your Majesty can no longer stay in the Prince Regent's Palace!" An old man said with a worried face: "Did everyone see it that morning? How long has it been since the Queen Mother passed away? Your Majesty is facing the Princess Regent like this? If only a few more years pass..."
The atmosphere in the room was solemn, and it took a long time for someone to speak up: "But, as for the Prince Regent...who dares to compete with the Prince Regent in the court now? He is also your Majesty's uncle, and he teaches your Majesty what is right and proper."
"Huh! He is just the late emperor's cousin, and he can't be considered an uncle to the emperor." Another person couldn't help but say.
No one picked up on this statement, so what if it was true?
Almost all of the late emperor's brothers were dead, and the only one or two who were still alive were frightened out of their courage by Xie Yan. They could not act rashly while hiding in the fiefdom.
The most important thing is that Xie Yan is the regent entrusted by the late emperor to his relatives, and he also has a large number of soldiers. He is also the son-in-law of Luo Yun...
"I didn't stop the marriage between the Luo family and the Regent's Palace at first, but now it's too late to regret it!"
Just then, there was a noise in the distance, and it gradually became more and more noisy, which had obviously affected the conversation of several people in the room.
One of the old men frowned and said displeasedly to the outside: "Come, what's going on?"
After a while, someone hurried over and reported anxiously outside the door: "Master, Mrs. Zou is here. She is clamoring outside to see the master and all the adults. She also said... and said that if the adults don't go out to see her,
