Chapter 290: The Problem of Private School
After Liu Shi said, Su Cimo saw that she was sincere and immediately nodded.
The next day, Su Cimo was going to go to the court to take up her post, but Gu An happened to collide with Su Cimo when she left the mansion.
"Oh, Brother Su!" Gu Anran's face was flustered, and his face was covered with beads of sweat. Xindao was fortunate that he ran fast and dared to find a new mansion before Su Cimo left the mansion, otherwise Gu An would not know where to go to find Su Cimo.
Su Cimo immediately stopped when he saw him like that, stood on the side of the wide stone road outside the mansion gate and patted him on the back.
"What's wrong!? In such a hurry, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Su Cimo is still helpless, no matter how she says that she still has to go to work, I'm afraid that if it's late, it is estimated that she will be late.
Gu An gasped for a moment before he said, "Oh, that's the case, over there, I was just going to talk to you." ”
When Su Cimo heard this, it seemed that he must be in a hurry. Thinking that the household department has not been busy these days, at most it is to wait in the warehouse for the people from the other six departments to come over and learn from the way of containing materials. Immediately, Su Cimo decided to ask for leave today, since Gu An has urgent matters here, it is better to deal with his affairs first.
So Su Cimo invited Gu An to return home, and she personally wrote an excerpt and sent it to the household department, which was an excerpt asking for leave.
After finishing the matter of asking for leave, Su Cimo changed into a green cloth gown that she usually wears, with a white gown, which looks fluttering, she is used to wearing men's clothes, and she also has a man-like uninhibited attitude in her gestures.
Gu An, who was sitting in the living room, drank tea for a while and saw Su Cimo walking out of it.
Gu An quipped: "Xianggong Su, the emperor's reward for your mansion is really magnanimous!" ”
"Don't be joking! Didn't you say there was an emergency!? Let's talk about it! What the hell is the urgency!? Su Cimo smiled a little anxiously and looked at Gu An who was sitting and looking around.
Gu An thought of the purpose of coming, came back to his senses in a panic, and then said, "Oh, that's it. Our private school is really too small, and now many families in the city have heard that we are secretly running a private school for girls here. They all sent their daughters to study, but we couldn't accommodate more people there. ”
Su Cimo sat next to him, gently lifted the lid of the ceramic teacup, and then took a sip. The aroma of Longjing tea lingered between the lips and teeth for a long time.
"Oh, and then what!?" Su Cimo didn't glance at Gu An when he listened, but just continued to ask.
"Moreover, the location of our private school is not very good, I am only afraid that in the future, if there are too many female students, it will attract the attention of bad people, if there are robbers or flower thieves, then our private school can be regarded as over!" Gu An's face was turmeric, and he didn't want to explain it, but he was afraid that Su Cimo would not realize that the problem was serious.
Indeed, the bandits in the mountains like to rob women the most, or do some human trafficking business, or some just to take advantage of them, so they rob women.
Although their private school is located on the outskirts of the city, it is far away from the place where the bandits live outside the city, but it is still difficult to ensure that those girls in the prime of their youth will not be targeted by bad people.
Su Cimo nodded immediately when he thought of the seriousness of the problem, and then replied: "What you said is indeed a very important issue!" If the reputation of the private school is ruined, or the innocence of a girl is ruined, this is not our original intention. ”
Su Cimo sat with his cheek on his cheek with one hand in some sorrow, and meditated hard.
She ran a private school with Gu An at the beginning, just so that more girls would not be so weak and discriminated against by men, but just wanted to teach them talents so that they could confidently raise their heads in front of men, or use their talents to support themselves and their families. But the questions she thought about at the beginning were too few and too simple, and now it is indeed more and more troublesome to look at.
Su Cimo was silent for a while, then she felt like she had regained her vitality, she sat up straight, and then said to Gu An: "These are all easy to do, but you have to promise me that only those girls who are homeless or from poor families will be admitted to school!" ”
"Of course, everything is done according to the rules you set!" Gu An said with an oath.
Su Cimo continued: "Well, that's right. You go to find a few honest people who can fight to do it, and it is best to be reassuring. You can rest assured about the expansion of the academy, if you really can't do it, move to the original site of my house! It's a secluded location, and it's not so suspicious to go in and out of the yard every day. The most important thing is that the location is large enough. ”
When Gu An heard this, Su Cimo actually wanted to use the old narrow house of the Su family as a private school with him, and that room was very big! If you accept international students, it is estimated that you can take in more students.
"Is it true!?" Gu An asked out in disbelief.
"That's not true, am I still telling lies!?" Su Cimo said.
Because Su Cimo is the ultimate boss of the private school, Gu An is the handle for her outside, just waiting for Su Cimo's words, Gu An was extremely happy when he heard that Boss Su agreed.
Their private school has this big house, and there is the problem of thugs doing security, and suddenly Gu Anxin has settled down a lot, and the next time those poor people come to ask him, he will have a lot of foundation in his heart.
"That's great, in the future, with your boss Su as the solid backing of this group of girls, our private school will become more stable." Gu An said happily.
Su Cimo waved his hand, and then asked Gu An where the first batch of girls she went to see last time had learned now.
I heard Gu An say a few book titles, which is basically the same as her study in the academy, but the teacher in this private school doesn't know how much the level is similar to that of the master in the academy.
Su Cimo calculated, and the first batch of female students who came in were almost about to graduate, so Su Cimo planned to think of an exam topic for Gu An and let them write essays as an exam topic for graduation.
Thinking about it, Su Cimo thought of a better topic, that is, let them imagine the reasons why women become officials, and what kind of officials they will be if they become officials.
After deciding on the topic, Su Cimo asked Gu An to go back and prepare the topic, and then give the first batch of female students who are about to graduate to do the exam questions one day.
Gu An looked at the title written by Su Cimo on the paper, and a very meaningful smile suddenly leaked from his face.
"Sure enough, it's Su Xiucai's topic, and it's really extraordinary!" Gu An patted the horse road.
Su Cimo curled his lips very unhappily, reached out and pushed Gu An's restless and trembling shoulders, and then said, "Don't laugh at me!" ”
Gu An had no choice but to close his lips.
But Gu An quickly thought of a question, that is, when Su Cimo asked those female students to enroll, didn't he also guarantee that they could enter and leave the court like men and participate in the imperial examination!?
If this exam is over, how will he reply to them!?
Gu An was very distressed for a moment, and then asked, "Su Cimo, didn't you say that you could try to let the female students in our private school go to the public court like you and take the imperial examination!?" Now that they're out of business, shouldn't we just let them go back to live that hard life!? ”
That's really a waste of my promise to those very old couples. Gu Anxin said in pieces, but his mouth was hindering Su Cimo's face, so he didn't dare to speak.
Su Cimo listened to his words and understood what he meant in his heart, he shouldn't have sent all their female students to the imperial examination as a boy with him, but he promised that one day he would let them go to the public court to take the imperial examination.
Su Cimo's face hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "It's not that I don't want to do this, I also thought about mentioning to the emperor that this would allow women to give up their old customs and participate in the imperial examinations and study in private schools and academies, but the current situation in the court is chaotic and turbulent, and it is not the time to mention this opinion." ”
There is no need for her to say this, Gu An knows how difficult it is, thinking that after living for so many years now, he has never heard of a minister of any dynasty or generation who has raised his opinion even once for the matter of his daughter's family going to a private school, because this matter is against secular etiquette, and it is naturally an even more difficult matter.
"Well, I can understand this, but I don't know how to reject them, if I casually dismiss their desire to take the imperial examination, then it is too unkind to them. After all, everyone has always believed that one day women can really take the imperial examination like men. It's just that when I think about these things now, I feel a little sad. Gu An's face turned red for a moment as he spoke, and then he slowly lowered his head with a slight feeling of humiliation.
Su Cimo knew that he was with the female students in the academy all day long, silently taking care of their lives and educating them knowledge, and naturally felt very sorry for their whereabouts, and it was of course a pity that he was not as lucky as Su Cimo.
Su Cimo immediately put forward a relative opinion on this.
She smiled mysteriously, and then said to Gu An: "You don't need to say this matter, I have thought of it a long time ago." So, I'll take out five hundred taels of silver, and in a few days you will go to the street and make some shops, and then buy some goods, so that the girls can sell their goods in this shop for a living." ”
Gu An was taken aback, but he didn't expect Su Cimo to really take out a silver ticket of five hundred taels as soon as he stretched out his hand.
He knew that Su Cimo had not been an official for a long time, and it was estimated that the five hundred taels were all left over from the usual frugality, and suddenly Gu An pushed back the five hundred taels of silver tickets with an ugly face.
"Resignation! This is unacceptable! ”
