As a woman, the world of life is undoubtedly narrow.
Before getting married, they stayed in the inner house, and they continued to do so after getting married.
Fortunately, it has become a trend for women to study. With women's schools, girls can finally step out of the house and have a few years of freedom before getting married.
Xie Mingxi lived in the palace for decades in her previous life, and lived a long life. However, no matter how big the palace was, it was like a cage. It trapped people in it with suffocation and dullness.
She once deeply regretted that she never broke out of that prison.
Unexpectedly, in this life, she would be far away from the capital.
The official road was quite flat, and the carriage moved slowly and steadily. A Luo fell asleep soon.
The bamboo curtains were rolled up, and there was actually no scenery on both sides of the official road. There were mostly trees of various kinds, and the movement of the motorcade was extremely loud. Wherever it went, birds started to chirp.
Occasionally there are fields, and some people can be seen working in the fields.
Xie Mingxi stared outside the carriage with a smile on her face and a happy mood.
Gu Shanchang also glanced outside from time to time, and sighed with a smile: "It's strange to say. There is nothing special about it. But when you look at it, you feel comfortable and relaxed."
The smile in Xie Mingxi's eyes grew brighter: "Master said yes, and I feel the same way."
Inexplicably, I have the feeling of "the sea is vast, fish can leap into the sky, and birds can fly"... Of course, this is actually a bit exaggerated. No matter where you go, it is the territory of Daqi.
…
After traveling for more than half a day, when it was getting dark, we happened to arrive at a posthouse and stopped to rest for the night.
There were a large number of guards, and two hundred guards took turns on duty at night. The rest of the guards camped outside the post house to rest.
Sheng Hong, Xie Mingxi and others moved into the post house.
People should not drink alcohol while on the road. Sheng Hong ordered people to boil a few pots of tea and invited Lu Chi, Zhao Qi, Xie Yuanzhou, Xiao Yufan and others to drink tea and chat.
Since everyone was willing to go to Shu, they were all determined to follow him. They were all young people, and they gathered together to talk happily. The atmosphere was very harmonious and lively.
Xie Mingxi invited a group of female relatives to speak.
"Sister Lin, can you bear the journey?" Xie Mingxi asked with a low smile.
Lin Weiwei's face looked a little tired, but her mood was very high. She said with a smile: "Walking slowly for dozens of miles a day, if I can't stand it anymore, I will become a useless person."
Then he asked with concern: "A'luo was still young, did she ever make any noise on the road?"
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "That's not true. I slept half the time. I opened my eyes when I got off the carriage. I was quite noisy tonight. How about Brother You?"
Lin Weiwei smiled helplessly: "Brother You has been weak since he was a child and very timid. He didn't make much noise along the way, but he cried a few times from time to time."
Brother You is more than three months older than A Luo, but he is thin and thin, not even as tall as A Luo. He also cries softly.
All the female relatives laughed together.
When we went to Shu this time, everyone who had children brought their children with them. Talking about children was quite lively.
The only regret is that Yan Zhenzhen has just given birth to a daughter and is still in confinement, so she cannot go with her. It will take a year and a half before we can set off.
The young female relatives were chatting lively. Mrs. Lian had never married and was not interested in topics such as children. She turned her head and whispered to Mr. Yang: "After I go to Shu, the mountain chief will definitely set up a women's academy."
Master Yang smiled and nodded: "Of course. The mountain leader specially brought several carts of collections of poems and books, as well as many piano and chess scores, just for the purpose of opening the academy."
Chief Gu Shan used more than a third of this long convoy.
Gu Shanchang heard the whispers between the two and said with a smile: "After we go there, we will first choose a place to build the academy. At the same time, we will make regulations for recruiting students."
"Most of the students admitted to the Lotus Pond Academy are from wealthy backgrounds. I am thinking that after arriving in Sichuan, I will build an academy to accept the daughters of ordinary people. It will not only be about reading and calligraphy, but also teaching some cooking skills to the female celebrities."
"It is my lifelong wish to make all women in the world read, learn calligraphy, and understand things!"
Speaking of the distant view, Gu Shan's eyes suddenly flashed with light.
Mr. Yang, the honest man, also had his eyes shining brightly and nodded in agreement.
As a woman, I know how harsh the world is to women. Reading more books and learning some skills to settle down may be able to change a woman's destiny.
It was precisely because of this ambition that Master Yang, an honest man, made up his mind to leave the capital and follow Gu Shanchang to Shu.
"Actually, I have some other ideas. In the past, in the capital, the Lotus Pond Academy tree was big and attracted the wind, and with the Queen Mother's name, I didn't dare and couldn't act easily. When I went to Shu, I no longer had many worries, and all I could do was
too much."
Xie Mingxi, Lin Weiwei and others also calmed down and listened.
The light in Gu Shanchang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he continued to talk without stopping. It was obvious that he had not thought about these things overnight.
"I want to open academies so that all girls can study in them. I also want to build a place to take in girls who have been abandoned or sold. In addition, I want to open some workshops to recruit girls and teach them how to make a living.
The only thing I can do is make money and live..."
"Very good!"
Hearing the excitement, Mrs. Dong couldn't help but clapped her hands: "If the mountain chief can really do this, the women of Shu will be blessed."
Mrs. Dong grew up in Sichuan and came to the capital with her parents when she was a teenager. At this time, she got excited and started speaking in her local accent, which made everyone laugh.
Gu Shan smiled and looked at Xie Mingxi: "I was just thinking about it. Whether it can be done depends on whether Princess Shu is willing to give her full support."
Xie Mingxi smiled calmly: "Master has an order, how can I disobey the disciple! Disciple will provide people, effort and money, and fully support the master!"
Xie Mingxi has always known what Gu Shanchang's ambition is.
To be fair, Xie Mingxi has a cold-hearted nature and keeps to herself. She has never been selfless in doing things for others. However, with a master like Gu Shanzhang, who has a noble character, integrity and selflessness, Xie Mingxi has gradually changed a lot in the past few years.
Lin Weiwei immediately followed with a smile and said: "I am also willing to do my best. In terms of money, I am not as rich as Princess Shu. However, I can always run errands for the mountain chief. If you don't dislike it, it would be better if you let me go to the academy to become a master in the future.
"
"In a few months, Sister Yan will also come to Shu. By then, the mountain chief will have one more helper."
They are all the most outstanding students of Lotus Pond Academy. No matter who they are, they all have talents and knowledge. It would be a pity not to put them to good use.
Gu Shanchang smiled and said: "There are only a few masters accompanying me this time. They alone cannot support the academy. Don't even think about hiding! From now on, you will all obey my orders!"
Everyone laughed in unison.
yes!
What's the point of wandering around in the house all day? It's even more fascinating to be able to do useful things with Mr. Gu.
