Chapter 609 Admissions
Inside the classroom, Yingying Yanyan was filled with a group of curious and excited girls.
The younger ones are eight or nine years old, and the older ones are fourteen or fifteen years old, in order to facilitate teaching, Chen Xu divided this group of royal and aristocratic girls into three classes according to the age of eight to nine, ten to eleven years old, and over twelve years old.
The students were divided into three groups and sat below, Chen Xu, Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiyan, Wanwan, Shi Xuan, a weaver girl in her thirties and a young and beautiful embroidery girl sat on the podium neatly dressed, and the words of the first entrance ceremony of Daqin Women's College were written on the blackboard behind them.
Because the school was created in a hurry, there was no formal subject curriculum.
But everyone was excited and apprehensive.
Chen Xu first introduced all the teachers after the roll call, and then arranged the curriculum of three classes.
Classes are enrolled in the morning, three classes in the morning, two hours between classes, one hour at noon, two classes in the afternoon, and the teaching time is very relaxed, mainly for fun.
At noon, the school canteen will have noodles and snacks to satisfy hunger, and there will be hot water supply at any time, so Chen Xu also specially arranged a group of palace maids from Qinghe Garden who originally followed Wang Qingsleeve to come to the school to help, and also specially arranged two kitchens and a few helpers to ensure that these royal nobles and little princesses can eat and drink well and have fun.
A carriage drove into the courtyard of the college, and was immediately stopped by several burly forbidden soldiers, and after asking a few words, a steward took Qi Mao's family to an admissions office next to it to register, and after registration, a little palace maid was arranged to lead Qi Mao's wife and daughter to the inner courtyard to find Qinghehou to report and see if they wanted to accept it.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk~" The door of the classroom was knocked, and then a palace maid pushed the door in, followed by a young woman in a delicate skirt, with round cheeks and a bumpy figure, a rather shy face, and a slightly timid girl in her hand.
Everyone turned to look at the young woman and the little girl.
Especially when she saw this set of novel and chic improved skirts on the young woman, Wanwan and the fifth princess were quite moved by their eyes.
"Master Hou, the steward of the guard asked me to send a little lady, can I accept the admission?" After the palace maid reported, she put a completed registration form in front of Chen Xu.
Chen Xu took a look at the registered information, and it turned out to be a more familiar person, businessman Qi Mao, so he smiled and beckoned the girl to come to him and ask a few questions, and after learning that Xiao Tao still knew some words, he nodded on the spot and said: "Qi Mao is a righteous businessman rewarded by His Majesty, and he made great contributions in the last disaster relief, and Xiao Tao's situation is also in line with our enrollment regulations, come, let's welcome new students to join!" ”
Chen Xu stood up and applauded, several teachers and a group of little girls stood up and applauded together, and the classroom was suddenly jubilant.
Chen Xu specially advertised the women's college in the newspaper, naturally he wanted to recruit more private girls to enroll, of course, it was still aimed at specific groups, such as wealthy businessmen, because the tuition fee of 2,000 yuan for half a semester is not consumed by ordinary people, not to mention that these skills learned will be used in high-end clothing in the future, and poor girls are more likely to follow their parents to work hard to ensure that they can eat enough.
The opening ceremony ended quickly, Xiao Tao was also arranged to follow the study in the large class, and all school supplies were also treated equally, although she was the daughter of a businessman, Chen Xu repeatedly emphasized that the friendship between classmates should be friendly, so as not to bully Xiao Tao by a group of aristocratic girls, you must know that in this era when the class hierarchy is very clear, the aristocracy is the ruling class on top, and the status of the businessman is not as good as that of the commoners, and it is very normal to discriminate and be bullied.
Chen Xu's exhortation and admonition are at most just a psychological comfort for the girls of the Shangjia family, seeing that the noble girl still has to grovel and retreat, this is no way to do it, because this hierarchical concept will continue for a long time, as long as there is a class, there will be no change.
Qi Mao sat in the admissions office and waited anxiously, not knowing whether Yang Kun's proposal to himself would be successful, or whether it would really be as Yang Kun said in the future that he would be able to make a fortune with this group of royal nobles, just in the midst of his thoughts, a sound of footsteps came, and soon he saw the little palace maid going and returning, not only followed by his mother-in-law, but also the smiling Qinghe Marquis.
"Qi Mao meets the Marquis of Qinghe!" Qi Mao hurriedly greeted him nervously and bowed.
"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Chen Xu stepped forward and shook Qi Mao's hand and said, "Qi Mao, you are the first businessman to respond to the enrollment of our women's college, thank you for your support!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, Qi Mao was stupid, he thought he didn't dare to climb the royal family, or a friend mentioned it, Qi Mao dared to bring the little girl to sign up, if the little girl disrespected the etiquette and provoked the little lady of the royal family, you can do your best to punish ......"
"Huh~ What are you talking about? As long as it is a student of the college, it is natural to treat everyone equally, and there is no superiority or inferiority, although you can rest assured, just now you said that you came to sign up after being mentioned by someone, who is this person's surname? ”
For today's school start, Chen Xu believes that it will soon spread throughout the middle and high-income families in Xianyang, because these rich people are the same as hundreds of disciples, reading books and newspapers is a habit and normal, plus hundreds of people gathered at the school gate, the news will inevitably spread very quickly, but no one may dare to send their daughters to the school to study with a group of daughters of princesses and nobles, this is a class concept caused by the long-term suppression of respect and inferiority, in the face of enrollment information, many people can only express novelty, nothing else.
Unless someone with a particularly keen eye can perceive the opportunity.
Qi Mao's vision is still good in Chen Xu's opinion, otherwise he would not have bet all his net worth to take on the task of transporting disaster relief materials last time.
But after all, Qi Mao is not a big businessman with a deep background like Fan's, at most he can only be regarded as a wealthy businessman, and he will definitely not have this kind of vision that is years ahead, nor will he have the vision and courage to start spending a lot of money and investing like Fan's when he saw Chen Xu's difference.
Now, as Chen Xu's status begins to rise, Fan's speed of making money is also like a river.
Just a wine makes Fan's profit of more than one million a year, not to mention the monopoly of ordnance manufacturing and several large steel factories, although Huaxia Qianzhuang is not making much money now, but with the gradual promotion of monetary reform and the gradual lifting of the ban on commerce, Fan's family, who hugged Chen Xu's thigh, has begun to thrive in Chen Xu's new industrial development, and in time it will inevitably become a family-owned super enterprise group involving steel, cement, winemaking, ordnance manufacturing and even real estate.
Therefore, Chen Xu was not surprised at all that Qi Mao said something that someone pointed out.
"Hui Hou Ye, this person's surname is Yang Mingkun, he is from Qi County, Qi Mao has known him for ten years, and he is very famous in the business world!" Qi Mao replied respectfully.
"Yang Kun?" Chen Xu pinched his chin and shook his head slightly, this person is very strange and has never heard of it.
"Master Hou, this Yang Kun is proficient in business, many businessmen have benefited greatly from his guidance, the last time I took out a loan to build a ship, he secretly instructed him, otherwise I wouldn't dare to ask Lord Hou for help!" Qi Mao hurriedly explained.
"I see, it seems that this Yang Kun is a high-energy person, so let's find him when you go back and ask him to go to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion to find me!" Chen Xu nodded.
"Yes, Master Hou!"
"It just so happens that I'm also about to leave, go out with me, and by the way, talk about this Yang Kun matter!"
"Yes!"
At this time, there were still a lot of people gathered at the gate of the women's college, and many people were still speculating whether the children of the businessmen who had just entered would be accepted by the college, but in just three moments, they saw Qinghehou and Qi Mao talking and laughing and coming out in the car, and then parted ways at the gate of the college and left, and Qi Mao's car was no longer the little girl, so it was obvious that she had been admitted to the school.
The daughter of a lowly merchant can even study with the daughter of a noble family such as a princess and a prince?
The onlookers, after being shocked and surprised, quickly spread the news again.
In the afternoon of the same day, another well-known salt merchant in Xianyang sent his ten-year-old daughter to the girls' school to enroll, and successfully enrolled in the school, and the salt merchant was happy to reward him...... Donated 20,000 yuan to the school to improve the school's teaching facilities and environment.
After the news spread, the entire wealthy circle in Xianyang suddenly became agitated.
Early the next morning, more than a dozen wealthy businessmen drove to the gate of the college with their daughters early, and waited until the various luxury carriages that came to school one after another to send flowers and branches to the little ladies entered the college, and the admissions manager finally received these people, registered, and then sent them to Shi Xuan and Shui Qingrou and other teachers for interviews, to ensure a normal level of IQ, but also to look beautiful and lovely.
The requirement of being handsome and lovely was not put forward by Chen Xu, Chen Xu only asked for normal intelligence, but all the teachers felt that being too ugly would affect the image of the school, so it was natural to choose it well, especially the water was gentle, and I didn't want my husband to see the ugliness affect his mood, as long as his intelligence was average, he must be good-looking.
Under these two screening conditions, five of the more than a dozen daughters of wealthy businessmen who came in the morning were selected, and the acceptance rate was almost 30 percent.
And as time went on, by noon, there was an endless stream of wealthy businessmen who had come to more than fifty, and the number of admitted merchants had reached twenty, and in the afternoon, the number was even greater, and in addition to the wealthy merchants, there were some relatively wealthy commoners or low-ranking officials, and some people sent their daughters to sign up.
A day later, Xianyang Women's College announced that enrollment was over, enrolling a total of 100 female students, and then divided into three grades and ten classes, almost the same size as a township primary school in later generations.
There are not many people in a hundred, especially in this million-person Jingshi, and there are constantly people asking to send girls to school, but they are all refused, because the teachers of the school are not enough, and the five princesses of Shui Qingrou are all Chen Xu's wives, and it is okay to open a school to adjust the mood, but it becomes a kind of pressure and busyness, especially the water is gentle, likes to be quiet, and has an indifferent temperament, which is not suitable for a too busy life.
So on the third day, the women's college recruited ten teachers of various subjects, which naturally caused a sensation again in the group of reading and literacy, and finally recruited two old men to teach reading and literacy, and the others were recruited female teachers, so far Xianyang Women's College was on the right track, and one hundred students also began to go to school from 9 to 5 to study.
