In Zhu Ying's previous wedding, no invitations were sent to the princesses in the palace. Therefore, Princess Yongping naturally did not attend because she had the best excuse. She had two dead brothers. Even though she knew that the fourth prince secretly
After leaving, her father also took the third prince away quietly, but he didn't take her with him, so she just pretended not to know.
And she understood that her father was definitely not because of any preference, but because he was afraid that she and Zhu Ying had been enemies since childhood, and they loved to fight and grab everything, so she saw Zhu Ying's glorious wedding scene,
So he felt unhappy. What he was worried about was that she would hurt herself and hate marrying because of the scenery.
Of course, she wasn't actually anxious to get married at all - to be more precise, she couldn't think of any man worth marrying anywhere she looked. However, she didn't want to be used to marry her.
Zhu Ying made a comparison. However, Zhu Ying invited them to gather together three days after the wedding, after Zhang Shou had already taken wedding leave and returned to resume classes, so she had to come.
However, after reading the list, she discovered that, except for Zhu Ying, the other ladies were either unmarried daughters or widows. In such a pattern, a bride like Zhu Ying would actually appear to be in the middle.
Abrupt and embarrassing - although based on her understanding of Zhu Ying, the rampant Miss Zhu probably didn't know what the so-called embarrassment was.
Princess Yongping did not go to Zhang Yuan's wedding, but Hong received the invitation, so she went naturally. However, she only chatted with Zhang Shou's adoptive mother Wu for a while, and did not rush to attend in person like Ye did.
Go to Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou's new house.
After all, she and Zhu Ying were not actually that familiar, and they couldn't be said to be close friends who met each other late. Instead of trying to find topics to talk about and pretend to be familiar with each other when they were sitting next to each other, it would be better to accompany Wu to entertain guests.
Accompanying the Wu family, she was indeed of great help. Therefore, when she, Princess Yongping and Zhu Ying gathered in the spacious courtyard of the selected girls' school today, Zhu Ying left Yongping alone.
The princess thanked her with a smile. In response, Hong saw that Princess Yongping didn't say a word, as if you just pretended that I don't exist, so she could only humble herself again and again.
Although they are enemies, people are always in high spirits when happy events happen. Today's Zhu Ying is no longer the same as before. She will argue endlessly with Princess Yongping over the smallest things. Princess Yongping did not say a word, and she did not show off endlessly.
Anyway, she already had all the splendor that her wedding should have. She was just discussing with the Hong family with great interest the female students that each family intended to send over.
As for this matter, even the golden Princess Yongping heard about it for the first time. She could only look at Zhu Ying talking about the shy girl in whose family, and her family was prepared.
Send her to a girls' school, hoping that she will be cheerful and cheerful; whose girl is too shy and dare not even say a single word; and whose girl is not good at calculation and housekeeping...
After hearing the end, Princess Yongping finally couldn't help but said: "After all you said, they are all officials and even noble daughters. This is far from what Madam Hong said before. She hopes that women in the world can respect themselves and love themselves.
You’ve also learned the ability to be self-reliant, doesn’t it seem like a big difference?”
"Isn't it just that women's education only benefits these wealthy officials who don't have to worry about not having teachers to teach them? These girls with family backgrounds, even if they don't go to women's education, they naturally have the support of their families."
"It's no better than many seemingly well-off and well-off families in the world who favor boys over girls. Even if the family produces talented people, the girls are illiterate. After they get married, they are still at the mercy of others. They can't complain about their sufferings. Madam Hong, don't you always want to make excuses for these people?
Eyes? Zhu Ying, didn’t you say you hope these people will learn to be self-reliant and self-reliant?”
At this moment, Mrs. Ye and several other ladies who Zhu Ying had personally invited arrived one after another. They found that Princess Yongping was actually arguing with Zhu Ying and Mr. Hong. They couldn't help but have different expressions. Most of them were arguing with Zhu Ying.
I have dealt with Princess Yongping, but I am not familiar with her at all. I only know that she used to preside over the Yuehua Tower Cultural Club, and she has the reputation of being the most talented woman in the capital.
Therefore, they looked at each other, and most of them were very cautious and did not interrupt hastily. Only Ye frowned and was the first to speak: "I think that the wife of the powerful official Liang Ji of the Eastern Han Dynasty was beautiful and kind but was evil.
, frowning, crying, wearing a bun, walking with a bent waist, smiling with tooth decay, which is thought to be charming. However, women in the feudal country and even in the world thought it was beautiful, so they imitated it."
"It can be seen that many fashions were originally passed down from the families of officials and nobles. Women's education is no exception."
Ye actually spoke for herself so directly, and Zhu Ying suddenly became very excited. However, she did not continue following Ye's words, but looked sideways at Hong with a smile. Sure enough, Hong nodded slightly.
nod.
"I never thought before that there would be so many daughters from noble families willing to come to a women's school, so I only planned to recruit some female students from well-to-do families. Because since they have no worries about their livelihood, their fathers, brothers and elders will definitely want them.
They take this opportunity to learn something so that they can marry better in the future and even bring their relatives and friends to a higher level."
"However, I didn't expect Miss Zhu's reputation and influence to be so great. There are actually many people who are willing to give away their daughters because of her reputation. If they really don't accept it because of my little ambition, then what?
Doesn’t it exclude them from the world’s women? I think that all the official families are willing to send girls to girls’ schools. If the news spreads, many ordinary families will flock to it.”
"And as long as you can teach these students well, you ladies will naturally become famous and respected by others."
The ladies who came today, except for two, are widows with a reputation for talent and virtue in the capital, but the other four, including Ye, all went through more than one selection process in the palace because of the prince's selection of concubines.
, and after the defeat of the eldest prince and the second prince, the selection of concubines was suspended. They were in an awkward situation for a while, so after weighing it again and again, they agreed to Zhu Ying's invitation.
And even such an invitation is not something they can do on their own. Many people even come up with various rhetorical tricks in order to persuade their families. Therefore, the Hong family is now well-known and respected.
, that’s all for Ye, but the other three are all excited.
They are all of a good age, and they can pass the second round of the concubine selection. Regardless of temperament or talent, not to mention first-class, they are quite good. Who would really be willing to live alone all his life?
When Zhu Ying came to visit before, she kept saying that the emperor did not want to delay their lives, but their families had various concerns, or their family members wanted to find another good family for them, but there was a lot of resistance in the clan township.
Of course, they also hope to make some achievements in girls' school and gain some fame, so as not to be controlled by others and deprived of freedom for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, Chen from Qingyuan was the first to agree: "Yes, most ordinary people will watch what officials do. Once many officials and their daughters enter the school, other people will naturally follow suit."
"The road must be taken step by step, don't rush. Enrolling students from top to bottom is also a way."
"Girls' schools are different from public schools. Sons from poor families may be able to work one less day, farm one less day, and find time to go to school. But girls from poor families cannot wait for this day.
Because they have been sold by their parents and elders for money!"
The person who said this was Hu, who was from Tongzhou like Ye. Her voice was sharp and clearly had a bit of sharpness that no one else had. In the end, she directly expressed her grievances.
"It's just like the so-called elders in my clan beat their chests and regret that I couldn't earn them the status of a princess. You know, the boys in the younger generation of the family can't study.
If there is no fame, the hope is placed on the girl. The so-called marriage is just about selling it at a good price!"
"So, the same is true for girls' schools. As long as a daughter from a famous family enrolls in the school, many families will try hard to send their daughters there. It's not to let them become self-reliant and learn their skills, but to hope that they will be able to take care of themselves! The so-called "one person can win"
Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, this is the truth!"
Although Hu's words were sharp and a bit mean, everyone heard them and most of them agreed with them. However, Ye, who had just been the first to speak up for Zhu Ying, felt that it was not appropriate at this time.
It's not because Hu's words are wrong, but it's because what people said is so right.
Sure enough, the next moment, she saw Princess Yongping smiled and said: "It is because the world often likes to imitate others and blindly follow others, so I don't want to recruit too many daughters from official families. These girls will inevitably rely on their background, and they will never
What if they don’t obey the discipline of the ladies, but instead act condescendingly and show off their family background?”
"And the most important thing is, if people from all over the world who want to be successful send their daughters here, how will the selection be made? How will fairness be ensured? When people outside who don't like female students continue to instigate one or two, then there will be rumors.
Random communication, what is the result?"
"The public school has veterans like Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan, and there are talented people like Zhu Ying and your husband Zhang Jiuzhang. They often rely on Mrs. Ge to come forward, and sometimes they even need the prince as backup. What about the women's school?"
"The women's school is at best like me, an insignificant princess, plus you, the noble daughter of Duke Zhao, plus Madam Hong's scholarly family reputation, and the reputation of these ladies for their talent and virtue. But in comparison
A public school is several times thinner, can it withstand the criticism of others?"
"The most important thing is, don't you feel aggrieved to be stabbed in the back and scolded by the girl you want to educate?"
Princess Yongping's sudden counterattack, whether it was Mrs. Hu who was full of resentment just now, or the two widowed ladies who considered the pros and cons before speaking rashly, or Mrs. Chen who was the first to speak and the other two who nodded.
, everyone couldn't help being stunned. Hong, who had just expected it, was suddenly in trouble, and after thinking about it, he planned to speak to ease the atmosphere.
However, she did not expect that Zhu Ying would not rush to get ahead of her: "The women's school has just opened, and it is impossible to cover everything, such as officials and wealthy people. I plan to only accept those who have a small official position in the family and are not powerful.
, that is to say, none of the daughters of important families will be accepted! I think all of you ladies don’t want to be beaten around the bush by dignitaries to ask for favors, and then have your hands tied, right?”
Zhu Ying glanced at everyone as she spoke, and saw Ms. Ye nodded first, Ms. Hu and others looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and most of them nodded in agreement. She then smiled and glanced at Mr. Hong who was relieved, and stood up calmly.
Come.
"As for women in the private sector, women's schools must not just accept everything they receive. There is a saying that it is better to be deficient than to overdo it, just like public schools. Even if they cannot post test questions like Jiuzhangtang, they can just hand in their answer sheets as a preliminary screening test.
, or you can find another way. Since I agreed to the emperor to be the inspector, then I can at least do one thing, and that is to conduct an investigation."
When she said this, the corners of Zhu Ying's lips curled up, and she seemed to be full of energy: "Of course the Duke Zhao's Mansion has a lot of manpower, but this is not my reliance, because now I am a married daughter, and there is no reason to bother my mother's family with anything.
Man. I have a family member named Ah Liu who has conquered all the different religions and schools in the capital, so as long as Ah Liu takes action, there will be plenty of people running around to find out the details of each school that has signed up."
At this moment, even Princess Yongping couldn't help but be stunned - could a disciple of three religions and nine schools use it like this?
Today, Zhu Ying specifically requested that Zhu Hong and others be sent to follow Zhang Shou to the public school, but Ah Liu was brought here. Therefore, Zhu Ying was showing off and talking about Ah Liu.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I felt dumbfounded.
He had previously raided all the different religions and sects in the capital, and that was also because of the lessons learned from the incident with the king's son Zheng Chengen, so he thought that in order to create a relatively safe environment for Zhang Shou, he would also spread out his spies and pay attention to all kinds of people.
Fang Dongxiang, so he could prepare for many things in advance - but now when he heard Zhu Ying say this, he suddenly found that his horizons had suddenly broadened.
This time, because of the incident involving the eldest prince and the second prince, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division led by Zhu Tingfang and the Shuntian Mansion Office led by Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan are carrying out attacks throughout the capital and outside. Many disciples of the three religions and nine schools are too frightened to come forward, claiming to be fast.
starving.
If new uses for these guys can be developed, then many people can have a regular job... This is like what my young master once said, the so-called golden basin washes hands, and goes ashore to be a good person?
Ah Liu was thinking about things outside, while Zhu Ying was talking about her recruitment criteria inside. Apart from petty officials and daughters of unknown clan families, her recruitment targets were indeed the same as Princess Yongping and the Hong family's original
The idea is the same, placed in a well-off and prosperous family, but there are no special requirements for family circumstances and family members.
In Zhu Ying's words, idleness is idleness. If there is a family where the father, brother and elders favor sons over daughters, are greedy, and treat the daughter as a rare commodity, and the girl has the heart to be self-reliant, she would be happy to take it.
To recruit people, I would not hesitate to fight them for 300 rounds...
Of course, what she said was ignored by Princess Yongping and everyone else. Even the Hong family claimed that she wanted to open the eyes of the weak women in the world, but she did not want to start the hard mode from the beginning and cause trouble for herself.
And Ah Liu, the outsider, swore secretly that he would never let a girl from such a top-notch family enter a girls' school. Otherwise, what would Zhang Shou do if Zhu Ying went to fight against the world?
At this moment, Ah Liu, who was guarding the door, suddenly noticed something moving outside. He left quietly without hesitation. When he left the yard and approached the gate, he saw a familiar figure calmly
