The arrival of the Empress brought the atmosphere to its climax. The royal ladies and noble ladies present all moved their carriages and horses aside to make way for a smooth road. The Queen's Luan drove in front, and the women's carriages followed behind.
The ground opens towards the mountain gate.
When the Luan passed by, all the people knelt down on the mountain and called the empress a thousand years old. They watched the women who were immoral and contrary to moral standards strutting into the academy with the empress. The old guys were so angry that their teeth were itching, as if they could hear the ridicule coming from behind the curtain of the sedan chair.
However, the situation was stronger than the others, so they could only bow their heads and curse, and no longer had the arrogance they had just now.
At this time, Gu Yanwu, the head of the academy, came out with a group of professors. The arrival of the queen made Gu Yanwu surprised and happy. What surprised him was that Liu Ziguang actually had the energy to invite the queen out. What he was happy about was that he had the queen as his backer.
I am no longer afraid of anyone spreading rumors and slandering the Women’s House.
What made him even happier was yet to come. Not only did Empress Xu personally attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Women's Academy, but she also brought a calligraphy handwritten by the Empress Dowager, "Jinling Women's Academy", with the words "Jinling Women's Academy" and the four beautiful characters showing the vicissitudes of life. This was a rare gift.
It was such a great gift. Gu Yanwu knelt down to accept it in fear, claiming that he would make it into a plaque and hang it at the door of the Women's Hospital, and the original work would be kept in the Women's Hospital as a treasure of the town.
The Women's Courtyard is a relatively private courtyard located in Jinling Academy. It is not too big, but it is quiet and elegant, suitable for studying. The Queen and a group of female guests were there. After the female students entered, the Royal Forest Army surrounded the courtyard and prohibited other people from waiting.
As we got closer, the onlookers' interest did not diminish. They were still crowded around, excitedly discussing the new thing like the women's conservatory. However, the direction of public opinion had completely changed, and no one dared to say anything that was immoral or insulting to the family tradition.
Liu Ziguang was also mixed in the crowd. He brought hundreds of plainclothes Nanchang fans to secretly protect the women. When he saw that the work was completed, he turned and left.
Who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, he would see the female student from the Iron Blood Society whom he had met before. This young girl disguised as a man was still wearing a scarf and a long gown, standing watching the fun. Liu Ziguang couldn't help but frown. The starting point for establishing a women's college.
She just wanted a female student like her to study openly, but she didn't buy it, which somewhat disappointed Liu Ziguang.
The eldest girl also recognized Liu Ziguang, raised her hands and said, "Uncle, you are fine. I'm Zhu Yingtai, a scholar from Zhejiang, and I haven't asked him for his name yet."
Liu Ziguang returned the courtesy and said: "My surname is Xu, Xu Wenqiang. We really don't meet each other anywhere. I met Mr. Zhu again. Is Mr. Zhu also here to see the fun?"
Zhu Yingtai said: "Exactly, the establishment of Jinling Women's College is a great event in the capital. Even the Queen is alarmed. Now those sisters no longer have to study secretly. I'm really happy for them. Alas, it's a pity that women
There is no chance to see the scenery inside the courtyard, and no men are allowed to enter here from now on."
Liu Ziguang said: "Young master, don't sigh. If you want, you can go directly in and become a student."
Zhu Yingtai didn't understand the meaning of Liu Ziguang's words for a moment, and curled her lips and said: "I don't want to go to a women's college. I want to apply for the imperial martial arts hall together with Senior Brother Liang and the others."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Zhu Yingtai felt something was wrong. Her little face suddenly turned red. She looked at Liu Ziguang who was smiling and said, "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? How can a man like me, who is seven feet tall, be able to study in a women's college?"
Liu Ziguang didn't criticize her, he just said: "I heard that when enrolling students in the martial arts hall, they have to take off their clothes for inspection. Mr. Zhu will definitely not care."
Zhu Yingtai was immediately dumbfounded. Just as he was about to speak, Liang Shiyi, the president of Tiexue Society, came with two bunches of candied haws. When he saw Liu Ziguang, he quickly saluted and handed the candied haws to Liu Ziguang. Liu Ziguang knew that this was a snack for the young couple, so he naturally politely said
He declined, but instead took out a Double Happiness brand cigarette and asked him to smoke it. Liang Shiyi was embarrassed and gave both bunches of candied haws to Zhu Yingtai, wiped his hands on the hem of his robe, took Liu Ziguang's cigarette, but had no matches to light it.
Liu Ziguang smiled slightly, opened the lid of the lighter and lit it for him. It was obvious that Liang Shiyi, who was smoking for the first time, was not used to the smell of tobacco. He choked and coughed, but he resisted and continued to smoke.
Liu Ziguang curled his lips slightly, and a long-lost feeling came to his mind. The first time he smoked was when he was in school at the instigation of a bad senior student. He immediately said: "Smoking is actually not good for health. Young people should smoke less.
That’s wonderful.”
Liang Shiyi said: "It doesn't matter. I heard that all the heroes in the Red Shirt Army smoke. I just want to learn this. Otherwise, I will be laughed at when I enter the martial arts lecture hall in the capital. But my family is poor and has no money to buy cigarettes."
, so it made Mr. Xu laugh."
Liu Ziguang said: "You only know one but not the other. Students in the martial arts hall are strictly prohibited from smoking and drinking. Anyone who violates it will be immediately expelled from the school. As for the red shirt army, smoking and drinking are generally prohibited, but even the elite soldiers do not take the initiative.
Go touch these things, because cigarettes have flames at night and smell when they are hidden, and are easily detected by the enemy, so it is better not to learn."
Zhu Yingtai said: "Uncle Xu, if you give Senior Brother Liang the cigarette, aren't you going to make him make a mistake?"
Liang Shiyi said: "Yingtai, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Xu doesn't know that I want to apply for the Beijing Martial Arts Lecture Hall."
Liu Ziguang said: "Do you really want to apply for the exam? It is really an honor for the martial arts hall to have young talents like Mr. Liang apply for the exam, but the martial arts hall is not that easy to get into. People with poor eyesight, flat feet and too thin will not be admitted. You
You have to be mentally prepared.”
Seeing that Liu Ziguang understood the market so well, Liang Shiyi quickly asked other questions, and Zhu Yingtai also interrupted from time to time. The three of them started talking in the crowd until the ceremony was over and Queen Luanjia came out.
The crowd at the scene once again knelt down to send the empress off, and Liu Ziguang was no exception. After Queen Xu's luan drove past, it was the carriages and horses of those noble women. Everyone became excited again and looked around eagerly, hoping to catch a glimpse of these famous women in the capital.
Fragrance.
Liu Ziguang also joined in the fun and stood on a big rock to watch. The women of the Zhenwu Hou family passed by first. Sister Peng Jingrong was better, but Liu Maotao didn't know the rules that well. He stuck his little head out and looked around to see if everyone was okay.
It was easy to see the beauty showing her head, and they all cheered together. Liu Maomao saw everyone was happy and grinned. He retracted and took out the pig's head from the small canopy. Suddenly, the beauty turned into a wild boar's head with a green face and fangs. The crowd was frightened and exclaimed together,
Liu Maomao's sly laughter of a successful prank suddenly came from the carriage.
Liu Ziguang was also shocked, thinking that this little cat Liu was really wild and difficult to train, but this kind of frankness was particularly cute. If he really became a lady, he would not be little cat Liu.
Just as he was thinking about it, his own carriage and horses had passed by, followed closely by the sedan chair of the Qiange family. Liu Ziguang felt bad that it would be another trouble for Liu Rushi to see him, so he quickly complained to Liang Shiyi and Zhu Yingtai, turned around and left.
But his back still fell into Liu Rushi's eyes. Liu Rushi had been looking for Liu Ziguang for a while, but this talented young man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and could never be found again. He went to Zhenwu Hou Mansion several times to make insinuations.
I can't find out his whereabouts either.
However, by chance, they got along quite well with Mrs. Hou Ye. Now Liu Rushi and Peng Jinrong have become sisters, so when Peng Jinrong asked Liu Rushi to come to the women's college to support her, the Liu family did not ask Qian Ge at all.
The opinions from the ministry came without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, she met the person she had been dreaming about, but after just a glimpse, the person turned and left. At that moment, Liu Rushi really wanted to stop the sedan and catch up, but she couldn't. Her current identity
She was Mr. Qian Ge's wife. Every move she made was related to Mr. Qian Ge's face. How could she be so impulsive? So she could only watch silently as the figure disappeared into the sea of people...
Jinling Women's College was a great success, and all the previously timid aristocratic ladies flocked to it. Even those officials who were originally opposed to their daughters going to school changed their stance because of the Queen Mother's attitude, and looked for connections in the hope of arranging a school registration. However,
The number of places in the women's college is limited, and only the best girls can be selected to enter. Once the threshold of the women's college is raised, those people will squeeze in even more.
, other academies followed this trend and opened women's colleges, which were also very successful. Women, like men, entered the academies to study, and overnight they changed from being despised by everyone to being flocked to. Liu Ziguang, the instigator, was happy and a little proud.
After all, he promoted the development of the times and made this feudal society where men were superior to women take a step towards a more equal and harmonious situation.
At the same time, the situation of not being able to recruit senior classes in the Martial Arts Hall of the Capital was greatly improved. Many young scholars with world-wide aspirations were invited to come to the Martial Arts Hall to register. The Martial Arts Hall formulated new admissions standards based on Liu Ziguang’s requirements.
The physical fitness requirements have been appropriately lowered, and more than 300 freshmen have been recruited. Of course, not all of these 300 freshmen will graduate, and 80% of them will be eliminated in future training and assessments. As long as the Jingwu Hall is the last
Excellent students.
The advanced class of Jiangwu Hall is the cradle for cultivating mid-level and senior officers. Currently, there are only two majors: command and staff, which respectively train generals who lead troops in battles and military advisors who make plans. Most students apply for the military advisor major. In the minds of scholars,
, Zhuge Liang with the feather fan and silk scarf is their idol, and
Most of the people in the Iron Blood Society were applying for the command major. Liu Ziguang did not say hello to the official responsible for the recruitment. He wanted to see the real abilities of Liang Shiyi and others. The passionate young people of the Iron Blood Society did not disappoint him in the end.
Except for Yingtai who was scared off by the physical examination, the other club members successfully ranked first in high school.
Because the Jingshi Jianwu Hall and Jinling Academy are both properties of Zhenwuhou, the students of the Iron Blood Society can still retain their Jinling Academy status after transferring to the Jianwu Hall. This also provides convenience for them to change their status in the future and cultivate double talents.
Liu Ziguang’s original intention was to have people with academic qualifications and capable talents in literature and martial arts.
Entering the martial arts hall is not as free as in the academy. First of all, there is three months of rigorous military training. During the military training, all contact with the outside world is cut off. At the gate of the martial arts hall, Liang Shiyi had to say goodbye to Zhu Yingtai, and they agreed to meet again after graduation.
, when the assembly horn sounded, Liang Shiyi ran resolutely to the school grounds without even looking back, leaving only Zhu Yingtai's thin figure in the autumn wind unable to bear to leave.
Upstairs during the military parade in the martial arts hall, Liu Ziguang, the Honorary Instructor, looked at this touching scene and secretly sighed: Butterfly Lovers, Butterfly Lovers, lovers who have been inseparable for life and death have to be separated temporarily for the future of the country and the nation...
