Su Ruoruo was stared at by her mother, so naturally she didn't dare to say anything.
Moreover, her mother stopped scolding her and stood on the same side as her. It was too late for her to be happy.
Mother Su's words are also what all the ladies are curious about. They are used to being angry in the backyard and have been bound by the shackles of chastity for half their lives. Now Jiang Miao's words make them feel relaxed. Such a happy feeling has never been experienced before.
.
No one who has experienced freedom is willing to take the shackles back again.
Jiang Miao's face softened now, and she nodded to everyone.
"Of course, I appoint people not based on their age, but only on their ability, and I will select the best."
"Okay! The princess is wise!"
The crowd was really excited now.
Soon, the news that women could serve as officials spread throughout Qiongzhou City, and the people in the city were all shocked.
Later, Jiang Miao had people put up notices, telling the people that she was recruiting people regardless of their background or age, only their ability.
As long as you have studied in a women's college and learned knowledge, you will have a chance of being selected by her.
As soon as the news came out, the number of people signing up for the women's college reached its peak.
Originally there were ordinary families who wanted to keep their daughter to work at home and were reluctant to send her to school, but now that there is an opportunity to become an official, no family would be willing to let it go.
If this is chosen by Jiang Miao, it will be an opportunity to honor the ancestors.
In the past, only men could change the lintel to honor their ancestors, but now women can do it too.
Nobles from aristocratic families are even more active. If the daughter of the family becomes an official, her status will be directly improved, and there will be no need to rely on marriage or high marriage to bring benefits to the family.
Yes, benefits.
Everything is linked to interests, but one is tied to the family, and the other is to realize one's own value. For women, it is still different. Smart people know how to choose.
…
After Jiang Miao's notice was posted, Qiongzhou City also underwent earth-shaking changes.
The weather is getting hotter, and the temperature in Qiongzhou is even higher. Many women wearing trousers appear on the streets.
Everyone was surprised at first, shocked by their boldness. The trousers were more revealing than the tops, and their slender ankles were faintly exposed when they walked, making people afraid to look at them more.
But no common people dared to go up and give advice, no one else, just because these people are the most noble young ladies in Qiongzhou City.
Ever since they last heard Jiang Miao's words at the Xiujin Clothing Shop, they couldn't help but make changes.
These trousers were made by Su Ruoruo and her embroiderer in a hurry, and the styles were painted by Jiang Miao. Although they were trousers, they were no more ugly than skirts. She referred to the styles of famous brands in her previous life, and wore these already as delicate as flowers.
The little lady gave them more sassiness and heroic spirit.
Su Ruoruo rides her pink bicycle through the city. Her trousers are also pink, with a circle of gardenias embroidered on the doll's collar, and a pair of slim-fitting trousers tied into suede boots. She is cute and heroic.
Her hair was tied up high, and her pink streamers swayed in the wind. When the bicycle passed by, everyone seemed to smell the light fragrance of gardenia on her body.
She appeared in front of people in such a high-profile manner, and everyone was envious of her.
Especially the people who entered the women's concubine with her, Su Ruoruo is the little lady Jiang Miao values the most, and now she is pulling her into business, even custom-made bicycles for her. What an honor it is, they want it too.
"If I had known that I would have taken the initiative and established a good relationship with the princess, I might have a bicycle now..."
A young lady was so envious that she told the little sisters next to her.
"That's not necessarily true. If the princess sees her based on her ability, don't you think Wang Min has failed to please the princess? She has been entrusted with important tasks. In my opinion, our princess is a talent-hungry person.
So we have to study hard, learn the skills well, and let the princess see us..."
"Well, you're right, let's go! Let's stop shopping and go back to study!"
The same conversation also occurred in other places in the city. Su Ruoruo's appearance really stimulated these young ladies.
…
A new thing happened in Qiongzhou City recently. The father and daughter turned out to be colleagues.
Jiang Miaoxin popularized the term colleague this time. In the past, they used to call the adults in the government offices colleagues. Now that there is a new title, the officials all find it new.
Wang Min was the first person Jiang Miao took a fancy to, and she was also the most capable among the young ladies. Her arithmetic skills were better than those of the government officials, and she was a rare talent.
After Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing discussed it, they decided to recruit Wang Min first.
It just so happened that Qiongzhou City had been busy with construction recently and was in short supply of capable men, so Wang Min was arrested for being a young man.
Jiang Miao first discussed this matter with her in private. Wang Min was so excited that she also asked her to hide it for herself. She wanted to give her father a surprise.
Although when Wang Min appeared in the government office, Wang Lian suddenly jumped up from his chair. He rubbed his eyes fiercely, as if to see if he had seen it wrong.
"Min'er?"
Wang Min had the surprise she wanted, although her father looked more like he was frightened.
The mature and prudent young lady had a straight face. After the person who brought her to the job left, she turned to Wang Liandao.
"You will call me Mr. Xiao Wang from now on."
Wang Lian was almost amused by his daughter's words and poked her forehead.
"Thank you Mr. Xiao Wang, I even got involved with you."
After Wang Lian was shocked, he became proud. He knew that Jiang Miao wanted to choose talents among young ladies, and he had thought that Wang Min would be chosen, but he did not expect that the first person would be chosen.
"When did you know this and why didn't you tell me?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so surprised just now.
Wang Min straightened his official hat and said calmly.
"My daughter wants to give you a surprise for your father. Are you happy to see me in the government office?"
Others are father and son in battle, but they are father and daughter in court, but the meaning is the same.
Wang Lian nodded and said, "I'm happy. How can I be unhappy as a father? Min'er is becoming more and more capable. Even as a father, I can't compare to you."
He and his wife only have one daughter. Wang Min does not have any preference for sons over daughters. His daughter and son are all his own children, no different.
But when he saw his daughter being so upbeat, Wang Lian's face turned into tears with laughter.
Other officials in the government office were also extremely envious. Previously, they thought Jiang Miao's idea was too whimsical. How could a woman compare to a man? Moreover, they were also dissatisfied when their daughter was allowed to appear in public and work with men.
But Wang Min was sitting here, doing the same job as them, and even doing it better than them. While these officials were shocked, they also felt confused.
Is Wang Min so awesome, or are all the ladies so awesome?
Did they all underestimate women before?
Because Wang Min's ability impressed everyone, the government officials were no longer so repulsive to women serving as officials.
Even Wang Lian and his daughter were envied by everyone when they went up and down together. These officials all sent messages to their daughters after returning home.
Let them study hard and strive to be elected to the government office as soon as possible.
