Since the Liu family sisters and the Zheng family brothers and sisters were here to go shopping, Luo Junyao and the other three naturally didn't stay much. They chatted for a while and then said goodbye and went out.
After leaving the gate of the Jewelry Pavilion, Luo Jun smiled and looked at Xu Xinyu who was staring at her non-stop and said, "If you want to ask anything, just ask."
Xu Xinyu asked: "Why did my aunt help her?" Although Xu Xinyu was young, she looked at things much more carefully than Qin Ning. Of course she could also see that Luo Junyao wanted to help Liu Ruoqiu by saying those words to Zheng Jingchuan.
Luo Junyao thought for a while and said: "Don't you think she is very courageous? I just said a few more words, why not do it?"
Qin Ning said: "But Zheng Jingchuan may not be able to help her, right? The Liu family... Although he really wanted to curry favor with the Luo family before, didn't the Luo family refuse to talk to him? I heard that the Liu family is now very close to those civil servants.
"Yeah." The Liu family is originally a civil servant, so it is not surprising that they are close to civil servants. However, Liu Shangshu desperately wants to marry into the military general's family, so he is obviously not without scheming.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Liu family will definitely agree to Zheng Jingchuan, as long as Liu Ruoqiu can withstand the pressure. Of course, if she gives up on her own, it doesn't matter."
Qin Ning said in confusion: "How do you know that the Liu family will definitely agree to Zheng Jingchuan? Zheng Jingchuan is quite stupid and easy to fool. Don't think he agreed to you now. If the Liu family says a few words later, he might change his mind.
Already."
Luo Junyao said: "If the Liu family really wants Zheng Jingchuan to marry Liu Ruxia, they will definitely not make Zheng Jingchuan unhappy because of Liu Ruoqiu. As for Zheng Jingchuan, he will not forget his promise to me so easily."
"Why?" Xu Xinyu also became a little curious.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Because Zheng Jingxi and Cheng Guo Gongfu will not let him forget. Don't you see? Zheng Jingxi and Liu Ruxia are not easy to deal with."
Of course the two of them could see it. Qin Ning shrugged and said, "I heard that Zheng Jingxi is quite smart, and her relationship with Liu Ruxia was not bad before. Now... I'm afraid I don't want to recognize this sister-in-law."
"So, how did these two people get together so quickly?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.
Qin Ning covered her lips and smiled: "Well, Zheng Jingchuan was interested in Liu Ruxia before, but Liu Ruxia didn't like him before and was quite cold to him. It wasn't until Liu Ruxia's life experience was exposed that she changed her attitude toward him.
Zheng Jingchuan didn't care about her attitude, and still happily wanted to marry Liu Ruxia. Maybe Zheng Jingxi was unhappy because of this."
Zheng Jingxi didn't care that Liu Ruxia originally looked down on her brother. After all, Zheng Jingxi also knew what kind of virtue her brother was. But like Cheng Guogong's wife, she couldn't tolerate Liu Ruxia treating Zheng Jingchuan as the second best choice.
"How do you know?" Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows.
Xu Xinyu smiled and said, "I know, it was my brother who told us."
Luo Jun was aware that Xu Chengyu and Zheng Jingchuan were close friends, so he naturally knew about Zheng Jingchuan.
In the Jewelry Pavilion, watching Luo Junyao and his group go out, Liu Ruxia couldn't help but look at Liu Ruoqiu and asked: "Second sister, you and the regent princess..."
Liu Ruoqiu looked up at her and said, "I don't know the Princess Regent, and I have no friendship with her."
Liu Ruxia's expression froze and she quickly said: "That's not what I meant." Of course she knew that Liu Ruoqiu did not know the Regent Princess. Liu Ruoqiu had been in the countryside for more than ten years before, and the Regent Princess had never left Shangyong. How could these two people do this?
What friendship is there? She was just wondering if Liu Ruoqiu did something when she went to Anlan Academy a few days ago to make the Princess Regent look at her differently.
After all, the day Liu Ruoqiu went to Anlan Academy, the Princess Regent was also at the academy.
Liu Ruoqiu nodded, then lowered her head and stopped talking.
Zheng Jingxi chuckled lightly, walked over and took Liu Ruoqiu's hand and said: "We will probably be classmates in the future. Don't worry, Miss Liu. If my brother can't persuade Liu Shangshu, I will ask my grandmother and mother to intercede with Mrs. Liu.
Miss Liu has just come back, she should have gone to the academy to stay for a while, so there is no need to worry about anything else."
Liu Ruoqiu quickly declined and thanked Zheng Jingxi.
She is not stupid and naturally knows that even if it is a marriage, it is very rude for Mrs. Cheng Guogong and Mrs. Shizi to interfere in the affairs of the Liu family. How can she, a girl who has just returned, owe such a favor?
Zheng Jingxi patted her hand gently and said with a smile: "It's okay. Sixth brother and my future sixth sister-in-law will also help you. Sixth brother, am I right?" She asked about sixth brother, but her eyes were fixed on the ground.
It's Liu Ruxia, the future sixth sister-in-law.
Zheng Jingchuan smiled and said: "Jing Xi is right, Miss Ruoqiu doesn't need to mind."
Liu Ruxia looked at Zheng Jingxi who was holding Liu Ruoqiu talking, a trace of sadness and frustration flashed in her eyes.
She knew that Zheng Jingxi might not really want to help Liu Ruoqiu, but he just didn't want to see her and deliberately wanted to confront her.
But she had no choice. She couldn't let Zheng Jingchuan go, otherwise she would have no place in the Liu family or even in the entire Shangyong City.
As for Liu Ruoqiu...
Regardless, her father hated women who were too tough and outgoing, so Liu Ruoqiu's insistence on studying medicine would only make his father hate her even more.
So...it won't do her any harm.
This is Liu Ruoqiu's own insistence, and it has nothing to do with her.
After Luo Junyao and the others left the Jewelry Pavilion, they planned to go to Pinyiju to have something to eat. They walked slowly on the street with them. Qin Ning and Xu Xinyu walked hand in hand and talked and laughed.
Luo Junyao played with the Youyue Thorn leisurely and followed the two of them, feeling comfortable looking at their lively and carefree appearance.
"Shao Yao, look there." Luo Junyao was fiddling with the gems on the scabbard and thinking about something, when he was suddenly pulled by Qin Ning who turned around.
"What?" Luo Jun was stunned, raised his head and looked in the direction Qin Ning was pointing. There was nothing special about the people coming and going on the street in front of him.
Qin Ning stamped her feet and said, "Oh, you didn't see, it seems like your eldest sister and brother-in-law are in that carriage."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ah?" Luo Junyao looked over again and saw a black carriage just turning the corner, "Eldest sister and brother-in-law?"
Luo Junyao was a little surprised and said: "They are also going out to play today? It doesn't look like the carriage of Chun'an Bo Mansion." The Luo family is planning a wedding recently. Although Luo Mingxiang is pregnant, she still often runs to her parents' house. Normally, there will be no
Just take some time off to go shopping.
Qin Ning said: "I saw it right, they are your eldest sister and brother-in-law. Xinyu, don't you think so?"
Xu Xinyu blinked blankly and said, "I didn't see it."
"..."
Luo Junyao smiled and patted Qin Ning on the shoulder and said: "It doesn't matter, maybe the brother-in-law is accompanying the eldest sister to go shopping. Anyway, they have already left, so don't worry about it." Everyone is in the capital, and it's not like they don't want to see each other.
There is no need to say hello.
What if it’s really the eldest sister and brother-in-law who are out shopping? Wouldn’t it be a spoiler for them to join in?
Luo Junyao didn't care, and Qin Ning naturally didn't care either.
"Forget it, let's go quickly! I heard that Pinyiju has recently launched new refreshments, but I haven't tried them yet." Qin Ning pulled Luo Junyao and Xu Xinyu to the other side and headed towards Pinyiju on the other side.
, the guard girl who was following the three people also quickly followed, and the group of people quickly disappeared on the side of the street.
In an instant, the day came for the official opening of Anlan Academy. Luo Junyao arrived at Anlan Academy early in the morning.
The words written by Empress Dowager Zhu in front of the gate of Anlan Academy, which Luo Junyao found very annoying, have been eradicated and replaced by the words Luo Junyao asked Taifu Su to inscribe in his own hand - Diligent study, self-improvement, discernment, and sincere practice.
Taifu Su's calligraphy was also outstanding in Dasheng, and Luo Junyao was very satisfied after reading it.
Such words are suitable to be placed in Taixue, Imperial College or other academies, but if placed in a women's academy, many people will inevitably find it dazzling.
But the teachers and students of Anlan Academy liked it very much. Compared with the previous admonitions of Empress Dowager Zhu, they also felt that these things written by Taifu Su made them more happy.
These words are what they should do when they come to the academy to study, aren't they?
In the huge martial arts field behind the Martial Arts Academy and Linglong Academy, Luo Junyao was sitting in the center of the high platform in front.
Seated on her left and right were the gentlemen of Anlan Academy, headed by Zhang Jingyu, and the ladies of Shangyong, headed by Princess Changzhao of Changling.
In the martial arts arena under the high platform, young girls in different costumes were divided into several teams and stood one after another.
Luo Junyao glanced over and saw many familiar people inside. For example, Yang Rongrong, who was the first to sign up that day, and Liu Ruoqiu and others. There were many fewer girls in Linglong Academy this year, and there were only about fifty people in total.
The Martial Arts Academy had more people. Although Luo Junyao and Song Huan were missing, the total number of people had reached sixteen. Luo Junyao even saw a girl from the Linglong Academy standing in the Martial Arts Academy's team.
There are four newly opened colleges left, the Agricultural College with the smallest enrollment has only three students, and the Business College with the largest enrollment has only fifteen students. Based on this calculation, the number of people in the entire academy is not much less than in previous years.
The only difference is that in the past, they were all the legitimate daughters of officials of third or fourth rank, but now these people include daughters of noble families, merchants and merchants, and even ordinary civilian daughters.
Luo Junyao was very satisfied with this.
Seeing Xu Xinyu standing in the front row of Tianjiyuan and smiling at him, Luo Junyao also smiled at her and waved gently.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people. It seems the situation is not as bad as we thought." Princess Changzhao was in a good mood when she saw her daughter smiling.
Princess Changling said: "There are so many people in Shangyong, but not everyone thinks like those old scholars. Especially those businessmen and ordinary people, they don't have such strict rules. If this happens twenty or thirty years ago,
In the 2010s, women were still out there trying to make a living? I didn’t see those people saying anything.”
Strict restrictions on women have only happened in the past ten years. When the Great Sheng Dynasty was first founded, the world was in decline. In many places, orphans and widows were everywhere. If the restrictions were too strict and women were not allowed to stand on their own feet, how could those orphans and widows be allowed to do so?
Are they all going to starve to death?
That is to say, it has gradually stabilized in recent years, and the bad habits of those scholars have gradually emerged.
Even so, life is still difficult in some places other than Shangyong, and there is not so much care.
Princess Changzhao nodded and said: "Sister Huang is right. I would say that in the future, Anlan Academy should be opened throughout Dasheng so that all girls who want to study can study."
Luo Junyao secretly thought, although it is impossible to realize this in a short period of time, who says it can't be regarded as a good wish? Maybe it will come true one day.
Zhang Jingyu and the other gentlemen listened to the two princesses without interrupting, but the expressions on their faces became much more relaxed.
Zhang Jingyu exchanged glances with several gentlemen who had been in the academy for many years, with a bit of smile in their eyes. It was indeed the right thing to ask the regent princess to be the mountain chief. If nothing else, let’s talk about the two eldest princesses and Luo Luo today.
Madam and several well-respected ladies from Shangyong have arrived, and this formation is enough to make them breathe a sigh of relief.
They don't want Anlan Academy to die silently, so the arrival of these people can be regarded as a statement to the outside world that they are on the side of Anlan Academy.
"Princess, the students are almost here, shall we start?" Zhang Jingyu said.
Luo Jun shook his head and smiled: "Okay, I..."
As soon as the word "I" was uttered, a steward was seen running hurriedly from a distance, quickly climbed onto the high platform and walked to Luo Junyao and Zhang Jingyu.
Seeing that she looked anxious and panicked, Luo Junyao asked, "What happened?"
The steward whispered: "Princess Qi, students from Linfeng Academy and Imperial College are clamoring outside the gate to see the princess and the gentlemen of the academy."
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence on the stage.
Everyone's eyes turned to Luo Junyao, who was sitting on the main seat.
Princess Changling raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "What do these people want to do? Are they deliberately looking for trouble today?"
Luo Junyao was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, maybe he came to congratulate us."
"..." Everyone looked at the regent princess on the main seat with some speechlessness.
How did you know that someone would make a special trip to congratulate Anlan Academy?
Su Shi said: "It must be for the same purpose as the people who blocked your way on the street a few days ago, right?" Whether it is the academy or the Imperial College, Luo Junyao has no relationship or interaction with these people. Why did they choose to visit at this time?
, is naturally self-evident.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, I know it well."
Sitting next to Su was Mrs. Chengguo Gong, Crown Prince. She said, "Those people are just here to disrupt the opening of the hospital. Why don't we have them driven away?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "No need, sooner or later it will happen. If we drive them away today, who knows if they will come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? It's better to solve it once and for all."
"Don't scare these girls." Mrs. Shizi glanced at the audience worriedly.
They are all experienced people, and they will not be frightened even if someone comes to make trouble. But this is not the case for these little girls. They are all of the age of flowers, delicate and timid.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "I think those who dare to come to the academy this year must be very brave." After saying that, he turned around and ordered the female steward standing in front of him with a smile: "Invite them in."
The steward was startled and said hesitantly: "Princess, are you all coming in?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Please come in, everyone."
