"Sister Yuanyang, are you coming from the girls' school?"
The mandarin duck who had just returned from the small door in the back garden of Ningrong's second residence was blocked by Jia Baoyu, a phoenix egg dressed in exquisite red.
"yes!"
Yuanyang didn't care and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Mr. Bao?"
"Um, isn't Sister Lin out of school yet?"
Jia Baoyu walked around Yuanyang and glanced at the small door, his eyes full of disappointment.
"My precious second master, when is now?"
Yuanyang saw this in his eyes, but he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
She knew what the old lady was thinking, and Mr. Bao also cared deeply about Miss Lin, and it was almost written on his face.
But……
Mr. Bao Er is very good, but if he is not motivated, he will never fall into Miss Lin's eyes.
She is very concerned about women's education, so she naturally knows Miss Lin's evaluation of women's education - a genius!
At this young age, he has already begun studying the Four Books and Five Classics.
And Mr. Bao hated classics like the Four Books and Five Classics the most.
He often utters some shocking words and pretends that everyone is drunk and I am alone.
If he hadn't been young, very cute, and used to make old ladies, little maids, and eldest maids happy, he would have been labeled as unlearned and unskilled.
You disdain the mainstream knowledge outside, so what do you want to do?
It's just an excuse for not wanting to go to school.
If there were no women's schools, the maids of the Rong Mansion would not have enough information channels, and they might not understand the differences at all.
But with the news channel of Ningfu Girls' School, the maids of Rongfu naturally know what is going on outside, at least they know something about the circle of scholars.
Second Master Bao's words would definitely shock the world and be attacked by those Confucian scholars.
To put it bluntly, Yuanyang heard a female scholar say: If Jia Baoyu of Rongfu's remarks spread, he would no longer think about becoming an official through the imperial examination.
Even if he has great talent, the Confucian masters who control the imperial examination will only let him pass the imperial examination, and there is no need to expect him to be a Jinshi.
He also said that Jia Zhu, who is the second room mate in the Rong Mansion, should go ashore early, otherwise the difficulty of getting into Jinshi would be at least several times higher due to the influence of Jia Baoyu's remarks.
Yuanyang quietly informed the old lady of all this.
The old lady just sighed and didn't say much, but behind her there were many slanderous women and maids who were kicked out of the Rong Mansion and disappeared without a trace.
You know, those women who disappeared were quite respectable in the house.
Among the maids who were kicked out, some were related to the four housekeepers.
Yuanyang didn't say anything when he found out, but he was secretly alert in his heart.
Obviously, the old lady still cares about what the female student said.
Come to think of it, not to mention Mr. Bao, who has always been cared for by the old lady, but Mr. Zhu, who has gone to Beijing to take up a post, is also the treasure of the old lady and the second wife.
"When will Sister Lin come over? I really want to play with her!"
Here, Jia Baoyu did not approach the small door, but just muttered with a depressed face.
In the past, Lin Daiyu would take the Lin Mansion carriage home directly after school and had no intention of staying overnight in Rong Mansion.
Jia Baoyu made trouble and cried, but it was of no use.
At this time, Lin Daiyu was not a little girl living under someone else's roof. She had a mother and a younger brother, and there was also a Lin family mansion in the capital.
It doesn't make sense, I don't want to go back to Rongfu to live forever if I have a family.
"tonight!"
Yuanyang's answer gave Jia Baoyu a big surprise: "This time I went over because the old lady ordered me to invite Miss Lin to have dinner at the house in the evening!"
"Really? That's great!"
Jia Baoyu jumped three feet high, with a happy smile on his face, and muttered: "According to me, there are no female students!"
"Wouldn't it be better for older sisters to play together all day long?"
Yuanyang smiled and said nothing, but felt a little disappointed in his heart.
After all, she had watched Jia Baoyu grow up, so it was really inappropriate to say such things.
If Uncle Rong of the Ning Mansion hears this, he will definitely be angry.
Jia Baoyu is not a good person. In The Story of Red Mansions, Mrs. Wang gave Lin Daiyu a warning on the first day she came to visit her: the devil!
To put it bluntly, he is just a naughty child who was spoiled by the old lady!
When the girls' school just started, Jia Baoyu cried and shouted that she wanted to go to the girls' school.
The old lady was so quarreled that she had no choice but to rely on her status as an elder and forcefully sent Jia Baoyu to a girls' school. She only asked him to play and improve with his older sisters.
As a result, playing is a real improvement or a fake.
On the first day of school, there was a scene in the girls' school.
This guy is a standard-looking guy who only wants to hang out with his older sisters. He speaks rudely to ordinary-looking female gentlemen and acts like a playboy.
At that time, Qin Keqing, Rong's grandma who was responsible for the daily operation of the girls' school, was so angry that while she was begging and apologizing to the female teacher, she immediately sent a maid to send Jia Baoyu away and ordered him not to come back again.
Because of this incident, the old lady was very angry and severely reprimanded Grandma Rong who came over to explain.
There was even an idea that he couldn't stand Jia Baoyu's crying and wanted to disband the women's school.
According to the old lady, for girls, as long as they can do some needlework and know some principles, there is no need to go to any girls' school.
Moreover, the old lady made it very clear that women's schools are very controversial outside and are not formal schools. It doesn't matter whether they exist or not.
It's a pity that although the old lady has the right to speak in the Rong Mansion and has considerable say in the Jia clan, whether the Ning Mansion recognizes her or not is a question.
At that time, I don’t know if it was because I was venting my anger on Grandma Rong, or if the old lady’s behavior was really inappropriate, and Grandpa Rong of Ningfu became furious when he found out.
Taking advantage of the official holiday, he directly called Mr. Zheng over and scolded him angrily.
Not only that, he also forced Mr. Zheng to kneel for a long time in the Wenhua Hall of the Women's School where Confucian saints are hung.
When the old lady found out, she was very dissatisfied and wanted to go to the mansion to argue with Uncle Rong, but she couldn't get in at all.
That time, the commotion was so serious that it almost caused Ning Rong's second house to fall out.
Of course, it didn't come to this in the end, but Jia Baoyu definitely didn't get any benefits afterwards.
Even though he was protected by the old lady and the second wife, he was still beaten half to death by the second master Zheng. He had to lie in bed for a month or so.
From then on, Jia Baoyu was not allowed to take a step into the women's school, and Jia Baoyu did not have the guts to go there and look for trouble.
On the other hand, Mr. Zheng, because of this matter, did not have any conflict with Mr. Ningfu Rong. On the contrary, they got closer to each other, which made the old lady very depressed.
As the chief maid of the Rong Mansion, Yuanyang has a clear understanding of these matters, so she will naturally not pay attention to Jia Baoyu's nonsense, lest she be implicated...
