Regardless of the emperor's original intention, according to what Zhang Shou said to Zhu Ying, he had already incisively summed up what he had to do when he was a teacher for Shi Shanjun, that is...... Nonsense! When Zhu Ying heard it, she used to laugh so much that she even quietly ran over to listen to it once, but she almost wanted to listen to the excitement every day.

After all, didn't she be attracted by Zhang Shou's eclectic conversation at the beginning?

However, she herself is not an idler now, because the six Goryeo daughters were directly transferred to the female school by the emperor, so she had to be familiar with these girls, and then arrange the people. As a result, as soon as they met, her blazing fire of vigilance was immediately poured with a basin of ice water.

She planned and prepared people in advance as if they were her own age, and the result was ...... The two oldest were a little younger than her, but the other four wouldn't be more than fourteen years old at most! The timid appearance of the youngest made her feel like she was just over ten years old!

And after Zhu Ying asked in person, she found that her judgment was roughly correct. The six girls from Goryeo, the eldest is sixteen years old, two years younger than her who is one year older than the New Year, and the youngest is eleven years old, which is simply immature like a child, even if she has never had any good feelings for Goryeo girls, but she is still soft-hearted when she is looked at by those aggrieved eyes.

Miss Zhu, who is arrogant and domineering outside, has always been arrogant on her face and gentle in her heart, this is what Zhang Shou said, but she has never felt that she is gentle, but at this moment, Zhu Ying finally realized that she obviously felt that she should hate and disgust...... At least it doesn't matter to outsiders at all, but she can't ignore it, isn't this gentleness?

Well, her heart is really too soft, and Gao Li doesn't know how to choose, all the girls look soft and timid, and the youngest one is even a little naïve, but at this time, no matter who it is, the posture of bowing down deeply is exactly the same.

She took a deep breath, and then said with a straight face: "All of them raise their heads, this is the capital of Daming, not you." I don't care what others have said when they teach you etiquette, but in a place like women's school, the first thing we teach is to hold our heads high and our eyes level. As a woman, neither humble nor arrogant, don't always look humble and aggrieved! ”

Even when the status of women in the Han and Tang dynasties was the highest, there were Ban Zhao who wrote what "Female Commandments", not to mention that since the Song Dynasty, science has prevailed, and there are more and more shackles on women. Therefore, the posture of a woman bowing her head and lowering her eyes is even more natural in many people's homes.

As for the Li dynasty in which the status of women is lower, not to mention, the etiquette is changed from the etiquette of the Song and Ming dynasties, and even some parts that are more in line with national traditions are specially added, and the word early marriage is implemented more vividly than in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Ying disliked that the girls who were sent here were too young and childish, but they could be put over there......

This is a very normal marriage age for royal families and even aristocratic women, sixteen-year-old girls are already too big, so those two still delay their marriage because of something at home, and their appearance is quite sweet, and the housekeeper who chooses people feels that they can have an appetite for the son of tomorrow, so they were stuffed in because they made up the numbers!

Of course, Zhu Ying didn't know, because Sejong and Gaozong liked soft and cute young girls at the beginning, so the Li family's North Korea still selected these ladies who looked smaller than a small one at first glance according to the preferences of the two emperors back then. And because they are young, inexperienced, and intimidated, Zhu Ying put on a straight face and trained them, and everyone immediately nodded like garlic.

But when they really wanted to raise their heads, everyone trembled again, and it wasn't until Zhu Ying scolded again that the frightened fawn stood up straight in a panic, trying to raise its head and look up at Zhu Ying's eye level. can see that incomparably beautiful face, but some people bow their heads or avoid their eyes because they are ashamed of their appearance, and in the end, except for the youngest, no one dares to continue to look at Zhu Ying.

Faced with such a scene, even if she could understand it in her heart, after all, among the first batch of girls recruited by the girls' school, some people were afraid when they saw her, but Zhu Ying still couldn't help but be angry.

Fortunately, the eldest lady warned herself over and over again that she couldn't be in a hurry, and finally pressed the anger in her heart, but her voice finally revealed a little dissatisfaction: "Someone did something in the edict before, so the king of Goryeo sent you over, and the emperor was supposed to send you back, but what did your envoy say, if you were sent back, it would only be worse." Now, I ask you ......"

"Do you want to go back, or do you want to stay?" Almost as soon as the words fell, Zhu Ying heard a loud voice: "I want to go back!" ”

However, she didn't even have time to praise the youngest girl, so she saw a hand next to her suddenly pull the person over, and then another girl panicked and opened her hand to cover the little girl's mouth. Immediately after, the eldest girl bravely opened her arms to block the others.

"She is still young and ignorant, and I ask you to forgive her sins. There is no way we can go back. Our family is a first-class family in the country, and our sisters are either married to the royal family or married to other children of the big family. Even if the edict of the Celestial Empire was really tampered with, if we were sent back, no one would say that it was a mistake before......"

"Instead, I will only say that the Celestial Empire does not look down on us! For the sake of the family's reputation, no matter how much our parents loved us in the past, they would not accept us daughters. And our brothers and sisters will also hate us because of the lack of success in our careers and marriages. So, although I wanted to go back, I couldn't. ”

Zhu Ying doesn't think that fellow villagers or clans will naturally share the same hatred, let alone be able to have the same external thoughts just because they fall into the same situation. Of course, she doesn't read much history, but her eldest brother likes to read, and Zhang Shou is a person with a lot of messy stories, so she has also heard a lot of stories about sisters and friends who were once close to her.

Therefore, seeing this scene at this moment, and seeing the eldest girl trying to look directly at herself, she was not angry but happy: "It is good to be able to defend generously, but finally a little bold." And the little girl who said she wanted to go back is also good. It's okay to cover your mouth and pull people. ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at the remaining two girls who were still stunned with some disgust, but said lightly: "Since your envoy said so, and you yourself think so, then you can stay here with peace of mind." There is no shortage of people in the palace, and you girls who are served at home are not very good at letting you serve others. ”

"And like dividing vegetables and meat, let the bosses in the court take you back as a bed warmer, I don't think you want this to happen."

Seeing that the faces of several girls were pale, and the oldest one bit his lip tightly and nodded slightly, Zhu Ying continued: "Therefore, the emperor is kind-hearted, and after thinking about it, he sent you here." This is a newly built women's school, and the main person is Princess Yongping of the Dynasty, and then me, as well as Hong Niangzi, a talented woman who teaches painting in Ciqing Palace. ”

was sent here early in the morning, with all the luggage, but Senator Licao, who was the envoy, did not give more than half a word, let alone explain what was going on, and the six girls were originally anxious.

Since the news of the death of the second prince of the Celestial Dynasty came, they felt that the so-called road of entering the palace as concubines was completely impossible, and they were afraid that they would be casually thrown to those officials to be concubines.

And as concubines, they have watched the humble posture of those concubines in their families since they were children, and called their brothers and sisters as subordinates, who can be willing to end up like this? Therefore, hearing Zhu Ying's last half of the words, the two eldest breathed a sigh of relief, and then they felt that their legs were a little weak.

However, this one was not optimistic, just now the childish young girl broke through the offensive of covering her mouth with others, and shouted with one mouth: "Then are we going to study at the women's school in the future?" ”

Zhu Ying has always disliked people who follow the rules too much-after all, the eldest lady herself doesn't like that kind of rules, and at this time she felt that these six Korean girls finally had a little meaning, so she stepped forward with a smile, and suddenly reached out and gently pinched the right cheek that was still baby fat, and then smiled.

"The first batch of students from the women's school were recruited. Among them, there are not only famous daughters, but also small jasper, and a few specially selected girls, you have not been assessed, and many people have also read books, so let's give the female masters a start here, and do a female history. ”

Although she is very unfamiliar with the name of female history, and it is obviously not a job worth paying attention to, several Korean women look at me, but they all feel that this is already the best result.

As a result, the next moment, the little girl, who had been a headache since the beginning, spoke again: "I have read books, but I don't know a few words in total, why can't I read?" Sisters, have you read a lot? ”

Zhu Ying couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she saw the girls who wanted to hang their heads to the lowest and look like they were eager to get into the cracks in the ground, but then she suddenly burst out laughing.

She was laughed at for not learning and not knowing, so she never got along with a talented girl like Princess Yongping, and I was really worried before, this time in the Goryeo Gong Girl, if there is really a talented girl, will it be arrogant or something, as a result, it is this little girl who is too open-mouthed to pierce the lies of the Goryeo envoys!

She couldn't help but tugging at the other party's cheek affectionately again, and asked in a very casual tone: "Then what books have you read and how many words do you know?" ”

"I've read A Thousand Words! I know about four or five hundred words in it, but I don't know how to write. ”

The little girl's answer was very refreshing, but it also fully exposed her knowledge. However, she didn't see the miserable expressions of the others, and continued to say with great interest, "I really want to study, but my father said that it doesn't matter if girls don't need to study, my brother and brother can just study." ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying didn't scold, several other Korean women looked at me, and simply honestly said what they had learned one by one. As a result, the senator of Licao was knowledgeable and carefully selected by the famous daughter, and his true nature was revealed.

Half of them can read but can't write, and the other half ...... That is, there are three people, but they don't even recognize Chinese characters!

If Zhang Shou was here, in the face of this delicate situation at this time, he would definitely laugh and feel very normal. The most basic education, which is reading and literacy, was really popularized in the world he came from, and no matter which dynasty in history, even the Song and Ming dynasties, it was not much better. Even the so-called scholarly family is not literate.

As for the poor country on the Goryeo Peninsula...... The so-called big clan can't let all girls be able to read and write?

But although Zhu Ying once again lowered her evaluation of these Korean girls, she felt that the youngest girl was unpretentious, which was quite interesting, and immediately said in a casual tone: "Then let's do it, I'll take you to the study first, and if you can recognize the titles of those books when you look back, you will do the female history of the study, and the others ...... I'll think about what you can do. ”

No one dared to object to such an arrangement. In fact, when the youngest girl exposed the true face of everyone's so-called knowledgeable and reasonable, they were already ashamed of themselves.

It's just that in the past, the tribute girls all entered the palace, and whether they could read or not was secondary, and whether they could please the emperor was the most important, so even if they were exposed, it would not be a big deal, but this time under the repeated incidents, they were afraid of being held accountable for this.

Now that he put down the boulder in his heart and followed Zhu Ying out, the eldest Goryeo girl asked cautiously: "We will serve in the women's school in the future, so naturally we will only obey our orders, but we don't know that you are ...... nobleman."

Zhu Ying is now married, so she naturally combed the woman's hair bun, so when she heard the word "nobleman" at this time, she was stunned for a while, and then laughed. Seeing that except for the youngest girl, everyone else was silent for a while, so she stopped, and then said calmly: "The word noble can be put away, I am not from the palace." ”

"The emperor is about the same as half a father to me, I am the wife of Zhang Jiuzhang in the East Palace, and Zhu Ying, the daughter of Zhao Guogong, so when you see me in the future, you can call me Inspector Zhu, or you can call me a pleasant person, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have an honorific title, didn't you all come here like this just now?"

The eldest woman was in a hurry, although she only knew how to read, but before coming to Daming, someone had urgently taught them some of the most necessary things, such as what kind of title the Duke of Guo was, such as what ranks the internal and external wives were - so Zhu Ying, who was born in the Guogong Mansion, actually ranked her husband who was obviously not a high official rank in front, she was really a little surprised.

But after all, this is someone else's business, and she just keeps it in her heart. When she followed Zhu Ying to the so-called study, as soon as she entered the door and saw the tall bookshelves that could almost be called the sky and the earth on the four sides against the wall, as well as the low bookshelves neatly arranged in the middle, she was amazed at the same time, but she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself.

Zhu Ying glanced at them, and then said with a smile: "Okay, go pick out ten books yourself, and then read the titles!" ”
