Chapter 606: Women's College
……
A few days later, the new issue of Daqin Metropolis Daily published two pieces of news that attracted the attention of many people.
One is that the newspaper has a new journal called "Hundred Schools", editor-in-chief An Yuliang, which brings together the statecraft of the twenty most famous celebrities in Daqin today, these celebrities are the most famous figures in today's hundred schools, including Confucian disciples, Confucius and Mencius school representative Kong Fan's "Zhou Rite Commentary", as well as the "Five Virtues" of Guan Chonglou, the leader of the Yin and Yang school of the disciple of the donkey, etc., these articles are published in one book at the same time, which will naturally attract the attention of a large number of readers. Therefore, many people who saw this news gathered at more than a dozen newsstands in Xianyang to buy a copy and have a look.
This journal is not thick, only forty pages, and the price is forty yuan, which is slightly expensive, but for many truly famous celebrities, they have a group of wealthy businessmen and even civil and military officials who support them behind them, so this can only be regarded as change.
In this era, the really famous scholars must be a group with a relatively wealthy family, such as Chen Ping and Qiu Cheng, these people can only be regarded as very down-and-out, and their reputation is not prominent, almost at the bottom of the reading group, they are not very old and basically have no reputation, and they can only do some work as a scribe to make a living.
For example, An Yuliang is a famous sage, Qin Shihuang wants to invite him to be an official, but he is not willing to go, and the students he teaches are also the children of the Xianyang Gongqing family, so there is naturally no shortage of money.
There are also leaders of various factions such as Kong Fan and Guan Chonglou, who can often be received by the emperor to meet with the famous people who debate in the court, and their subordinates have gathered a large group of disciples, and the disciples and grandchildren do not know how many, and there are people to provide for food, clothing, and housing, and it is impossible for them to lack money.
There are also some staff or doormen in the palace of princes and princesses, such as Sun Shujiong, Huangfu Que, Chen Ping, who defected to Chen Xu, all of them are so rich at the moment, how can people who wipe their butts with newspapers when they go to the toilet be short of money, especially for Huangfu Que, who is in charge of Qinghe stores and Qinghe restaurants across the country for Chen Xu, if the money can wipe his ass, he will definitely try it.
Therefore, this professional journal is for real celebrities, as long as they are interested, they must buy it and take a look.
As a result, newspaper kiosks scattered all over the Xianyang City where some officials and scribes gathered soon lined up and began to buy hundreds of forums.
The controversy caused by the book was certainly great, but the audience for viewing it was not as wide as the newspaper, partly because of the price and secondly because of the audience.
Because not all scribes were interested in governing the country, ordinary scholars preferred all kinds of news stories and news from all over the world published in the newspapers.
And there is another news in this issue of the newspaper that has attracted the attention of many people, that is, Xianyang Women's College admits unmarried female students between the ages of eight and fifteen.
This is big news that has never been seen before.
Although there is no such dross theory that women are virtuous if they are not talented, the subordinate status of women determines that they cannot receive the same formal education as men.
Most of the daughters of nobles such as princes and princes or wealthy businessmen are naturally literate, but they are all taught at home, and the teaching is not very complicated, just to meet the needs of reading and writing, and the daughters of ordinary families are at most learning to spin, weave, sew and mend clothes.
The news of Xianyang Women's College specifically states that only unmarried young ladies are recruited, and the learning content includes musical instruments, singing, painting, dancing, cutting, embroidery and many other courses in addition to reading and writing.
For this unbelievable news, many people began to ask each other what the origin of this Xianyang Women's College was, and why they dared to defy the world's condemnation so much.
It didn't take long for well-informed people to inquire about the exact news.
Since Xianyang Women's College was opened by Qinghe Hou.
After confirming the source and authenticity of the information, the entire Xianyang minister's rich circle suddenly became agitated.
What is the purpose of Qinghehou in opening this women's college?
Recruiting so many young ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet is just teaching singing, dancing and painting?
Don't you want to do something else along the way?
But no matter what Qinghehou wants to do when he recruits so many female students, whether it is good to sleep or have fun, there are always many people who feel that this is a very good opportunity to get close to Qinghehou.
The daughter is a creature that is worthless, the poor can't afford it, and the rich don't care, but if you can have a leg with the Marquis of Qinghe, it's very good, it's definitely not good to be a wife, but it's not bad to be a concubine, if you give birth to a child in the future with a little rain and dew, although it is a concubine, but after all, it is still the blood of the marquis's family, and you will still get some special care.
This kind of thinking may not be too much for the aristocratic groups such as princes and princes to say that they can't save face, but for businessmen, this stimulation is too great.
Therefore, the attention of all those who were not interested in the Baijia Forum turned to the women's college, and those scribes who usually liked to watch gossip news were even more excited, and ran directly to the place of the women's college that they inquired about, to see what kind of delicate place this academy that Qinghe Hou used to train concubines was.
Soon, near the southeast of the city, a large secluded courtyard was crowded with numerous scribes in long robes and high crowns.
This mansion used to be a five-grade official's residence, covering an area of about 20 acres, with many pavilions and rooms, and lush flowers and trees, as well as ponds and streams, and the environment was quiet and quiet.
The mansion has been simply renovated, and the original plaque hanging above the gate has been removed and replaced with a new plaque, which reads the four delicate and neat small seals of the women's college, which looks like a touch of grace and gentleness.
On either side of the gate stood a few burly soldiers with swords on their shoulders, guarding the gate like statues, ignoring the growing number of gossip scribes who came to inquire about the news.
With the dense sound of horses' hooves and wheels, a four-bridled luxury carriage came along the street under the escort of a group of guards.
"Disperse quickly, don't block Hou Ye's car!"
The guards at the gate waved Changge to scold the crowd of onlookers and retreat, and soon Chen Xu's carriage drove into the women's college, and there were two little girls sitting next to him, and there was a monkey squatting on the railing, with a pair of eyes looking around, and constantly squeaking at the crowd of onlookers.
Soon after Chen Xu's carriage entered, several carriages came one after another, and there were several little princesses sitting on the carriages, and the escorts were all palace people and chamberlains.
"Wow~" Seeing that the cars of these princesses also drove into the academy, all kinds of surprises and speculations were louder.
"Could it be that several princesses are also going to study at the women's college?"
"It seems so!"
"Did so-and-so guess wrong?"
"Hmm, even if Qinghe Marquis is a disciple of the Immortal Family, he will definitely not marry so many little princesses home as concubines, right?"
"Of course, it must not be what I began to guess!"
Many people began to talk in whispers at the door.
"Look, there's another little lady here!" The crowd dispersed again amid the noise, and a luxurious carriage, escorted by the guards, roared down the street, and soon drove through the crowd into the academy.
"This is the concubine of the Mengda family, and it is the Wanniang who was rumored to be married by the Marquis of Qinghe a few days ago!"
"Wow, the little lady is so beautiful, it is really like a legend, and she will definitely fall into the country in the future!"
"Get out of the way, there's another little lady coming!"
"Who is this?"
"I know, this is the youngest daughter of the tall man of the household, thirteen years old, I heard that I have promised to marry the second son of the Zhongshu Provincial Confessor......"
"Look, there's another guy!"
"Isn't this a girl from the Qinghe Theater, who is already over fifteen years old, and I heard that she is still married to the princess of Qi Kingdom, is she also here to learn?"
"I don't know, I'll wait and see ......"
As one carriage after another came, but in half an hour, nearly twenty carriages had already driven into the women's college, including the daughters of the princes and princesses, as well as the daughters of some doctors and officials, all of whom were as mentioned in the newspapers, all between the ages of eight and fourteen or fifteen, all of them were immature and delicate, and they were obviously girls who had not yet left the cabinet.
And as these little ladies' carriages entered the compound one after another, there were gradually all kinds of frolicking voices inside, these beautiful and sultry sounds, a group of people outside were more exciting to tiptoe and look, but unfortunately the trees inside were verdant and could not see anything, many people watched for nearly an hour and a half and then slowly dispersed, and soon spread the situation they saw.
In the south of the city, a large number of wealthy merchants who migrated from the six countries, salt merchants, grain merchants, ceramics, cloth, and medicinal materials gathered, including Qi Mao, who was awarded by the emperor as a righteous merchant in the disaster relief, also lived here, but it was just an inconspicuous small mansion.
A half-old carriage creaked into Qimao's house, and when the coachman had stopped, a scribe in his thirties jumped out of the carriage to straighten his clothes.
"Mr. Yang is here, please inside, the master is in the house!" An old servant led the scribe into the room.
In the living room, Qi Mao was discussing things with several merchants in fancy clothes, and when he saw the scribe walk in, several people quickly stood up and bowed together.
"Don't be polite!" The scribe waved his hand, Qi Mao arranged to sit down, and the servants served tea, and the other merchants who were discussing the matter all got up to take their leave.
After a few businessmen left, Qi Mao smiled and said, "Mr. Yang came to the cold house, Qi has missed the welcome, please forgive me!" ”
"Don't dare, Yang is a Hanshi, thanks to Brother Qi and other business colleagues who take care of him on weekdays, he is not from being on the street, and now Brother Qi has to be taken care of by the emperor and the Marquis of Qinghe, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner, and Yang will have Brother Qi to help him more in the future!" The middle-aged scribe said calmly with a teacup.
"Where does Mr. Yang speak, Qi a certain businessman, although he knows a few words, he is just an ugly person, and the business is also thanks to Mr. Yang's several instructions, Qi also has today's scenery, and the establishment of Maofeng freight and loans is also Mr. Yang's reminder, otherwise he missed this good opportunity......"
"Brother Qi don't want to promote me anymore, Yang Kun has respected Tao Zhugong since he was a child, and he also likes to study business knowledge, but unfortunately my father does not allow me to set foot in business, so I can only mix between Brother Qi and many business colleagues to make a living!" The middle-aged scribe shook his head gently as he drank his tea.
