Before Zhu Ying's wedding, she didn't send invitations to those princesses in the palace, so Princess Yongping didn't attend it as a matter of course, because she had the best excuse, she died her brother, or two. Even if she knew that the fourth prince went secretly, her father also took the third prince quietly, but her father didn't take her, so she just didn't know.

And she understands that her father is not because of any preference, but because she is afraid that she and Zhu Ying have been rivals since childhood, and they love to fight and grab everything, so she saw Zhu Ying's beautiful wedding scene, so she was not happy. What he was worried about was that she was in love with herself because of the scene, and she hated to marry.

Of course, she didn't have any anxious thoughts about getting married—more precisely, she couldn't think of any man worth marrying as far as she could see. However, she didn't want people to compare with Zhu Ying after all. It's just that three days after Zhu Ying's marriage, after Zhang Shoudu had already returned to class after his wedding leave, he invited them to gather together, and she had to come.

However, after reading the list, she found that except for Zhu Ying, the rest of the female masters were either unmarried daughters or widowed widows, such a pattern, but a bride like Zhu Ying was caught in it, which would actually seem abrupt and embarrassing - although with her understanding of Zhu Ying, the rampaging Miss Zhu probably didn't know what the so-called embarrassment was.

Princess Yongping didn't go to Zhang Yuan's wedding, but Hong received an invitation, so she naturally went. However, she only accompanied Zhang Shou's adoptive mother Wu for a while, and did not rush to Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou's new house in person like Ye.

After all, she and Zhu Ying are actually not that familiar, and it can't be said that they are confidants who hate to meet late, rather than desperately finding a topic to try to pretend to be familiar when sitting opposite each other, it is better to accompany the Wu family to entertain guests.

And she who accompanied the Wu family did help a lot. Therefore, when she gathered with Princess Yongping and Zhu Ying in the open courtyard of the selected women's school today, Zhu Ying left Princess Yongping and thanked her with a smile. In this regard, Hong saw that Princess Yongping did not say a word, and she could only humble herself again and again with the posture that you would not exist for me.

Although they are rivals, they are in good spirits at happy events, and now Zhu Ying is no longer the same as she was back then, and she will fight with Princess Yongping for a little thing. Princess Yongping was silent, and she didn't bother to show off her wedding there, anyway, she already had all the scenery she should have, but she was interested in discussing with the Hong family the female students who each family intended to send over.

As for this matter, even Princess Yongping, who is a golden branch and jade leaf, is still the first time she has heard of it, and she can only watch Zhu Ying talk about the shyness of the girl in whose family, and the family is ready to send her to the women's school, hoping that people can have a cheerful temperament; Whose girl is too shy to even say a word; Whose girl is not good at calculation, and housekeeper is not good......

Hearing the end, Princess Yongping finally couldn't help but speak: "You say this, all of them are eunuchs and even noble daughters, which is far from what Hong Niangzi said before, I hope that women in the world can learn to be self-reliant in addition to self-respect and self-love, this seems to be too far away, right?" ”

"Could it be that women's studies only benefit these daughters of official families who are not worried about not being taught by teachers? These girls with family backgrounds, even if they don't go to women's school, they naturally have the support of their families. ”

"It's not like many seemingly well-off families in the world who prefer sons to daughters, even if the family offers to show off their talents, but the girls are illiterate, and after getting married, they are also slaughtered by others, and they can't complain if they have suffering, Hong Niangzi, haven't you always wanted to open your eyes for these people? Zhu Ying: Didn't you say that you hope these people learn to be self-reliant? ”

At this moment, the Ye family and several other female masters who Zhu Ying personally invited arrived one after another, and found that Princess Yongping had an argument with Zhu Ying and the Hong family, and they couldn't help but have different faces. Most of them have dealt with Zhu Ying, and they are not familiar with Princess Yongping at all, and they only know that they used to preside over the Yuehualou Cultural Conference and have the reputation of the first talented woman in the capital.

Therefore, they glanced at each other, and most of them were very cautious and did not interject rashly, only Ye frowned, and was the first to speak: "I think that the wife of Liang Ji, a powerful minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was beautiful and good at being demonic, making sorrowful eyebrows, crying makeup, falling into a horse bun, bending her waist, and smiling with her teeth, thinking that she was charming, but the women of the feudal country and even the world thought it was beautiful, so they followed suit." ”

It can be seen that many fashions were originally passed down from the homes of officials and nobles. Women's studies are no exception. ”

Ye Shi actually spoke for himself so directly, and Zhu Ying suddenly burst into flames. She didn't continue to follow Ye's words, but looked sideways at the Hong family with a smile, and sure enough, the Hong family also nodded slightly.

"I didn't expect that there would really be so many daughters of eunuchs and nobles who were willing to come to the women's school, so I only planned to recruit some female students from the well-off family. Because since they have no worries about their livelihood, their fathers, brothers and elders will definitely hope that they will take this opportunity to learn something, marry better in the future, and even bring their relatives and friends to the next level. ”

"However, I didn't expect that Miss Zhu's reputation and influence would be so great, and there were many people who were willing to send their daughters to her because of her reputation. If I really don't accept them because of my little ambition, wouldn't it exclude them from the women of the world? I think that the eunuchs' families are willing to send women to women's schools, and when the news spreads, many ordinary families must flock to it. ”

"And as long as you can teach these students well, you will naturally have a reputation and be respected."

These female masters who came today, except for the two widows who are indeed talented and virtuous in the capital, but the rest of the four, including the Ye family, have all experienced more than one selection in the palace because of the prince's choice of concubines, and after the defeat of the eldest prince and the second prince, the selection of concubines was suspended, and they were in an embarrassing situation for a while, so they weighed again and again before agreeing to Zhu Ying's invitation.

And even if it is such an invitation, it is not something they can do independently, many people have even come up with various rhetorical tricks in order to persuade their families, so at present, Hong's reputation is outside, and as soon as the eight words of respect come out, the Ye family is just fine, but the other three are all excited.

It's a good age in general, and you can pass the second election in the selection of concubines, whether it's temperament or talent, not to mention the first rate, it's also quite good, who will really be willing to be lonely for life?

When Zhu Ying visited before, she kept saying that the emperor did not want to delay their lives, but their families had all kinds of concerns, or their families wanted to find another good family for them, but there was a lot of resistance in the clan township.

Therefore, at the moment, Qingyuan Chen was the first to agree: "That's right, most ordinary people will watch the official eunuchs act, and once there are many official eunuchs enrolled, others will naturally follow suit." ”

"The road has to be taken step by step, and there is no hurry. Top-down admissions are also a way to do this. ”

"Women's schools are not the same as public schools. Sons from poor families may be able to work one less day, plant one less day, and make time to go to school. But the girls in the poor family can't wait for this day at all, because they have already been sold by their parents and elders for money! ”

The person who said this was Hu Shi, who was from Tongzhou like Ye, and her voice was sharp, obviously with a bit of sharpness that others did not have, and in the end, she directly expressed her grievances.

"It's the same as those so-called relatives in my clan beating their chests and stunning, and regretting that I couldn't earn back the title of a princess for them. You know, the boys of the younger generation in the family can't read, and they can't get any fame in the field, so this hope is put on the girls, and the so-called marriage is just the best to sell it for a good price! ”

"Therefore, the same is true for women's schools, as long as there are daughters from famous families enrolled in school, how many families want to send their daughters. It's not to let them be self-reliant and self-reliant, but to hope that they can climb the dragon and the phoenix, so that they can take advantage of themselves! The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, this is the truth! ”

Although Hu's words were so sharp that they were a little mean, most of the people listened to them and felt very much in agreement. And Ye, who was the first to speak for Zhu Ying just now, felt that it was not so appropriate at this time.

It's not because Hu's words are wrong, or because people's words are too right.

Sure enough, the next moment, she saw Princess Yongping smirking and saying, "It's because the world often likes to follow the example of Dongshi and blindly obey it, so I don't want to recruit too many daughters of official eunuchs." These girls will inevitably be proud of their origins, what if they do not obey the discipline of the female masters, but instead condescend and show off their family background? ”

"And the most important thing is that if all the families who want to climb the dragon and the phoenix from all over the world send their daughters over, how will they be selected at that time? How to ensure fairness? When the time comes, people who are not accustomed to female studies in the outside world will incite one or two more things, and then the rumors will spread randomly, what will be the result? ”

"There are old ministers like Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan in the public school, and there are capable people like Zhu Ying and your husband Zhang Jiuzhang, and they often rely on Mrs. Ge to come forward, and sometimes even need the prince to be the backup, what about the female school?"

"At best, a female scholar is a princess of mine who has little weight, plus you, the daughter of Zhao Guogong, who has a noble background, plus the scholarly reputation of Hong Niangzi, and the name of the talents and virtues of these female masters. But compared with public schools, how much thinner than several times, can it afford to be paid by others? ”

"The most important thing is that you don't feel wronged by the girl you wanted to educate and scold you in the back with a poke in the back?"

Princess Yongping's sudden counterattack, whether it was the Hu family, who was full of resentment just now, or the two widowed daughters who did not rashly speak after considering the pros and cons, or the Chen family, who spoke first, and the other two nodded, they couldn't help but be stunned. And the Hong family, who had already expected it just now, suddenly became very troubled, and after thinking about it, he planned to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere.

However, she didn't expect that Zhu Ying was in front of her in a hurry: "When the women's school is just opened, it is impossible to cover everything, such as the daughter of the official eunuch, I plan to only accept those who have a small official position and are not powerful, that is to say, the daughter of the powerful family, I will not accept anything!" I don't want to be approached by dignitaries and dignitaries to ask for care, and then tie your hands and feet, right? ”

Zhu Ying glanced at everyone as she spoke, and saw that the Ye family nodded first, the Hu family and the others glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and most of them nodded in agreement, she smiled and glanced at the relieved Hong family, and stood up calmly.

"As for folk women, female students must not be sent to the door and accept all the orders. There is a saying that it is better to have less than to overuse, just like public schools. Even if you can't post the exam questions like Jiuzhangtang, you can find another way to let someone hand in the answer sheet as a preliminary screening. Since I have been asked by the emperor to be this inspector, then I can do at least one thing, and that is to visit. ”

When she said this, the corners of Zhu Ying's mouth curled, and she looked radiant: "Of course, the Zhao Guogong Mansion has manpower, but this is not my reliance, because now that I am a married daughter, there is no reason to trouble my mother's family for anything." My family has a Ah Liu who has played all over the capital, so as long as Ah Liu goes out, some people go to run to find out the details of each family. ”

At this moment, even Princess Yongping couldn't help but be stunned - can a person from the three sects and nine streams use it like this?

Today, Zhu Ying specially asked to send Zhu Hong and others to follow Zhang Shou to the public school, but brought Ah Liu over. Therefore, at this time, Zhu Ying took herself out as if she was showing off, Ah Liu was stunned at first, and then she couldn't cry or laugh.

He had been all over the capital before, and that was also because of the lesson of the incident with Zheng Chengen, the son of the king, at the beginning, so he thought that in order to create a relatively safe environment for Zhang Shou, he also spread eyeliner and pay attention to the trends of all parties, so he could prepare for many things in advance - but now when he heard Zhu Ying say this, he suddenly found that his horizons were suddenly broadened.

This time, because of the matter of the eldest prince and the second prince, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division led by Zhu Tingfang and the Shuntian Mansion under the control of Zhang Chuan, the Duke of Qin, were attacking inside and outside the entire capital, and many people of the three sects and nine streams were so frightened that they did not dare to come forward, claiming that they were about to starve to death.

If we can develop new uses for these guys, then many people can have a good job...... This seems to be what his own young master once said, the so-called golden basin wash your hands and go ashore to be a good person?

Ah Liu was thinking about it outside, and Zhu Ying was talking about her own acceptance criteria inside. Except for the small eunuch and the daughter of the nameless clan, her recruitment target is indeed the same as Princess Yongping and the Hong family's original idea, which is placed in a well-off and prosperous family, but there are no special requirements for family background and family.

In Zhu Ying's words, being idle is also idle, if there is that kind of family where the father and brother elders are patriarchal, insatiable, and treat the daughter of the family as a strange commodity to live in, and the girl has the heart of self-improvement and self-reliance, she is happy to recruit people, and she will not hesitate to fight with others for 300 rounds......

Of course, she said so, Princess Yongping and everyone else just listened to the wind, and even the Hong family claimed to want to open their eyes for the weak women in the world, but they didn't want to turn on the hard mode at the beginning and ask for trouble. And Ah Liu secretly swore that he would never let a girl from such a superb family enter the women's school. Otherwise, Zhu Ying ran to fight the heavens and the earth, what should Zhang Shou do?

At this moment, Ah Liu, who was guarding the door, suddenly caught that there seemed to be movement outside, and he left quietly without hesitation, and when he got out of this courtyard and was about to reach the gate, he saw a familiar figure calmly walking, it was Chu Kuan.
