Four hundred and fortieth eight chapters run women's school
Da Ya and Shen Erlang have been close since childhood. Er Lang often told her about his experiences in books when he went to school. Da Ya usually stayed at home and had few playmates. Er Ya, Zhou Ling, was a few years younger than her.
They were playing house and playing with dolls, and there was nothing else they could do together. At this time, Da Ya was particularly eager to study.
She also wants to see the outside world.
Jiang Miao was a little confused when she heard her words, "Why?"
Da Ya looked a little reserved, pursed her lips and spoke out all her thoughts. When she heard that she wanted to broaden her horizons and gain experience, Jiang Miao was impressed by this niece who had a somewhat taciturn temperament.
"Auntie, shouldn't Da Ya think this way?"
Her mother said that the most important thing for a woman is to marry a good husband and raise her children. Although she is still young, she knows that her idea is too bold and she will be put in a pig cage if she speaks out. Da Ya looks pale and lowers her head.
The eye circles are red.
Jiang Miao rubbed her hair and spoke softly.
"How could it be? Auntie just didn't expect that Daya and auntie would go together..."
She originally wanted several little girls to study, and Da Ya's realization made her happy more than anything else.
No matter what era you are in, studying is important. Poor people don't have the conditions. Young ladies from official families and merchant families have female husbands since they were young. Those noble girls have to educate children and run the house after marriage. Without knowledge, they are completely blind.
blind.
Jiang Miao wants her little girls to study just to give them more choices. Although they cannot escape the environment of the feudal era, they can choose the way of life that best suits them through reading.
Da Ya suddenly raised her head, "Auntie, are you willing to let Da Ya study?"
In fact, she already knew a few words. When Erlang was in school, she had heard the words "In the beginning of man's nature, he is inherently good." She knew all these words.
"Well, you, Ling'er, and Erya both have to go to school, and auntie will find a lot of classmates for you. How about we study together then?"
Because Daya Jiang Miao suddenly came up with the idea of setting up a girls' school, she believed that there must be many young ladies who had the same idea as Daya, but they just didn't have the opportunity. If she could provide this opportunity, she might be able to change the fate of some people.
maybe.
Just as she said, Jiang Miao asked Daya to take the two young ladies to play. She led Wu Yue to the eldest princess's mansion and asked people to call Xu Zilan and Zhao Mingzhen.
The eldest princess was very happy to see her coming and asked Nanny Qi to bring in all the new snacks made in the kitchen. Jiang Miao was chewing sweet-scented osmanthus cake and drinking honey lemon tea. Her mouth was bulging and she looked like a little girl.
Hamster.
The eldest princess held her face in her hands, looked at her with a smile, and fed her a piece of snack from time to time. She liked the way Mia Ya loved to eat, and she felt blessed just by looking at her.
Jiang Miao ate half of her plate and finally couldn't finish it. She drank half a cup of tea, and Xu Zilan and Zhao Mingzhen also came with them.
"Zilan, Mingzhen has met His Highness."
"Miaoya, why did you call us here?"
The two of them bowed to the eldest princess, then sat next to Jiang Miao and asked.
The eldest princess is also curious. She has a lot of wonderful ideas and will always come up with fantastic ideas. You will never feel bored following her.
"I want you to partner with me to run a girls' school."
"Girls' school? A private school for girls to study?"
Xu Zilan and Zhao Mingzhen both study at home. Their families have female teachers, and they are involved in many fields of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they have never heard of female studies.
"Well, since ancient times, men have studied and made achievements, so naturally women can do the same."
Jiang Miao never felt that women were less capable than men, but most of them were not even qualified to study. Jiang Miao thought of setting up a free school for girls so that they could study, and those who were willing to study could help her work.
Now she and Shen Yanqing have many shops under their names. In addition to food shops, there are also clothing, spices, research institutes, printing factories and bookstores. These places need management and design talents. If you can get in after completing your studies, it is equivalent to
A stable career.
Jiang Miao told several people her idea, and Xu Zilan was the first to agree. The Xu family is a merchant, and what she values most is ability.
"Miao Ya has a good idea. It's so difficult for women in the world. If they are willing, the Xu family can also provide them with work opportunities."
"Yes, if a woman has the ability to stand on her own, she doesn't have to stick to the back house and look at the man's face. Miaoya, mother supports you!"
The eldest princess is unhappy in her marriage, but she has a noble status and Jiang Zhe can't control her. However, the eldest princess has been disgusted by him for half her life. Even if she is a princess, she can't stop men from taking concubines, let alone other young ladies. If
If you don't have the ability, you can only compromise in marriage. If you meet a vicious husband's family, it may directly kill you.
Jiang Miao's idea was not only to make women wiser, but also to give them the skills to settle down and survive. The eldest princess touched her head lovingly.
"Our Miaoya is smart and blessed, and she also knows how to extend these blessings to others."
The matter of establishing a women's school was decided like this. None of them was short of money, and this matter could make them famous. The Xu family and Prince Rui's Palace naturally supported it with both hands.
The women's school was built in the east of the city, where the environment is relatively quiet. Next to it is Shengjing Academy, which has a strong reading atmosphere.
However, when word spread that Jiang Miao wanted to build a girls' school, everyone in the capital disapproved of it.
"Why should a woman study? If she has this spare money, she might as well work at home in her spare time."
"That's right, my Huniu has just turned eight years old this year, but she is not less hardworking at work. She is very efficient in cooking and washing clothes. I am not willing to send her to study. Otherwise, who will do the work in my house?"
"Sister-in-law Lin is saying that I am not willing to send our family Fangfang to school. Our ancestors have said that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent. If she has become ambitious in the past few days, I will not be able to control it.
What should we do? This woman is hard-working and obedient, so she is the best daughter-in-law. Her parents are stupid and sent her to school."
Anyway, there was a group of people chattering, but no one was moved.
Jiang Miao had expected this situation. She clapped her hands to calm everyone down, then cleared her throat and spoke.
"I know everyone has concerns, but it is free to come to the Girls' School. It not only teaches you how to read and write, but also teaches you skills. If you send your children to the Girls' School, you can learn the recipes of the food court.
The spices of Yugui Fong, the embroidery of Yuhua Tower, and they can even teach you medical skills and martial arts. As long as you have talent, you will always find a suitable skill."
As soon as Jiang Miao finished speaking, the crowd became commotion.
"Princess, are you telling the truth? These things can be taught?"
They think Jiang Miao is a liar. How can such precious prescriptions be taught to others? However, the things they cherish in their eyes are just a drop in the ocean in Jiang Miao's mind. She knows too many things and is not afraid of being exposed.
After learning, and again, these are all conditional.
