From the very beginning, the women's school was not a place to teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, and women did not take the imperial examination, so there was no point in learning those things. Although there is a lot of cultivation in it such as social philosophy and outlook on life and world view, Fan Jin believes that a group of soft girls just need to live happily, and the things that endure hardships and hardships are left to men to do, and they can't be officials, so it's not necessary to think about so many things to save the country and save the people, if you are interested in these books, you can read them, and you will definitely not teach them.

As for things like women's precepts and women's training, Fan Jin himself can't look down on them, and he can't teach people. The purpose of his women's school is nothing more than two, one is to send a message to Feng Bangning to prove that these women have a relationship with him, if he dares to mess around, he can intervene, and the other is to strengthen ties with the family forces to which these women belong.

Because Fan Jin implements the method of linking tax payment and treatment, the women's school is the treatment enjoyed by the children of large families, so there is already a wealth entry threshold here, and those who can come in are the daughters of large families. To have a good relationship with their family is to have a good relationship with their own basic plate. After all, Fan Jin is the commander of Daming County, and his basic plate is destined to be a gentry, not a Qiantou.

Although these years are not as exaggerated as those of the previous dynasty, if you don't marry in your teens, you will have to find a husband in the court to forcibly marry her, but it is not easy to find a girl like Zhang Shunqing who is still raised in the boudoir at the age of eighteen. Most of the people who come here to study are a group of thirteen or fourteen little girls, whose families have not yet decided on a relationship, and they want to have a relationship with the county order through this kind of learning, so that they don't have to be afraid of Feng Bangning. A sixteen-year-old soft girl like Xu Liu actually became the head of the eldest sister.

No matter how mature a girl at this age is, she still likes to have fun and lively nature, but under the constraints of etiquette, this nature is restrained. Fan Jin's girls' school is already the second time to start classes, and she doesn't talk about any knowledge, but through storytelling and games, etc., to open up their sky, so that these girls are not as restrained as in the past, and they can let go of their courage to laugh.

These women include all the members of the Rose Society, and most of the other women are supporters of works such as the domineering brother-in-law, and it is very popular to tell stories like Fan Jin to return the pearl. Fan Jin is taking an idolized path. Anyway, a girl of this age has the lowest ability to resist idols, and he has also seen the combat effectiveness of the fan group support club in his previous life, and intends to cultivate a group of followers of the children of rich and noble families in Jiangning.

The women had admired this old man's literary talent, but now they saw that he had no frame to laugh with everyone at will, so they were more willing to get closer. Unconsciously, she became Fan Jin's fan sister.

When the story came to an end, Xu Liu took the lead in asking when the next private school would start. After all, the current teaching time of the girls' school has not been customized, and Fan Jin will talk about it when he has time, and he will not be able to talk about it if he has no time in the future. These women are now very obsessed with Master Fan, and of course they hope that the more classes they teach, the better.

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not going to work in the near future." At present, the summer tax is levied, there are many things in the yamen, and I will go to the countryside in a few days. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take a break for a while. Besides, I don't have time to come here on weekdays, so I can't always give lectures here. But if I don't come, it doesn't mean that the class will stop, you can teach by yourself. ”

"What do you say?"

"Etiquette, socializing, and articles. You girls are lucky that you don't have to run around to make a living, and you don't have to work in the fields to plant seedlings. Those women in my hometown all went to the fields to farm at this time, and then they got married and had children, and they didn't have time to come out to study. With this kind of good conditions, we can't waste it, and we can teach each other some knowledge. I know that some of you are good at flower arrangement, some are good at embroidery, and Miss Six's knowledge of social etiquette is also unknown to ordinary people. So you can stick to the class and teach this kind of knowledge to each other, and I will also consider finding a female gentleman to teach you. It's just that it's not easy to find candidates, both women and talents, this is not an easy task, don't worry, give me some time to find it slowly. ”

Xu Liudao: "Brother-in-law, if you want to find a female gentleman, you can also do it, but you must remember that you can't be old-fashioned, otherwise it will be boring." Also, even if there is a husband, we have to listen to my brother-in-law's lectures, and if you don't come, it won't be interesting here. ”

The women nodded one after another, supporting Xu Liu's opinion.

Fan Jin said: "I definitely won't not come." I initiated this school, and I couldn't give it up. Even if you don't tell a story, I can come and see you and draw a few more pictures for you. Like the story of the princess who returned the pearl just now, you can also continue to write it yourself, and I will see that these can be done. ”

He has his own layout considerations for the girls' school, the first step is to turn this place into his own support club, and the second step is to make this place a salon for high society. Let these gentry women use this place as a social place, build a network of relationships with each other, and in the future, one person can help the other in trouble, exchange some information with each other, and maybe some business cooperation can be reached. After all, the woman who can be sent to study will not be unfavored by the family, and she can be coquettish in front of her parents, and she can influence some decisions. The third step is to use this as a pilot and expand it.

One of Jiangning's advantages is that the living conditions of the common people are good, and these large households below the word A are also large households such as B and C. The small people of Shengdou also include a large number of women who do not worry about food and clothing, at least they have less pressure to survive in the city and have the conditions to study.

The literacy rate in the southeast is higher than that in the north, and the peddlers and pawns also know how to read, and this atmosphere also ensures that the people's customs tend to be weak, and reasoning is not a fist. Fan Jin is ready to let this atmosphere continue to expand, so that the women in Jiangning City can also know how to read, and the professors are these daughters. Let them bring knowledge to ordinary women, let more and more people read and write, and know that they rely on knowledge to protect themselves when they encounter things, although they may not see changes in a few decades, but as long as they persist, it will have a huge effect on improving the social atmosphere of a region. If a few of them can give birth to a few Ming Dynasty education pioneers in the future, even if their efforts are not in vain.

Of course, these ideas are too far away to be mentioned at the moment. These soft girls heard that Fan Jin would come often, and they were willing to paint portraits, and their emotions became excited again. Someone took the initiative to say: "Miss Six already had a portrait last time, and this time it's our turn." ”

Xu Liu said: "No! I wasn't ready last time, but this time I changed my clothes, brother-in-law, look, is this dress much better than last time? I want you to paint this. ”

Fan Jin smiled and said: "Don't make any noise, I'll draw twenty people today, and you can draw lots by yourself, of course, Miss Six doesn't need to draw." I'll draw it for you first. ”

Relying on the blessing of the system, he painted very fast, and it was not difficult to get more than 20 paintings. When he began to paint portraits of other women, Xu Liu looked at his paintings, his eyes glazed and he couldn't take them off for a long time. Until the end of Fan Jin's portrait, she was still stunned, Fan Jin stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with the sixth sister?" I didn't draw well, where are the flaws? Say it and I'll redraw it for you. ”

"I didn't ...... Nope. Xu Liu hurriedly shook his head, "Brother-in-law draws so well, who dares to say that there are flaws, that is, there is no conscience, I just ...... Thinking about his own business. ”

"Little girl, what's on your mind? Let's talk to my brother-in-law if you have met a man who is pleasing to the eye. I know that in the past few days, my aunt has taken my sixth sister to participate in a lot of tea parties or something, and introduced a lot of talents to you. Let's see if there's anything that catches your eye, and I'll help you with it. ”

As the two of them spoke, they had already come from the room to the courtyard, and the girls behind them were all looking at the portraits, either envious or admiring, and chirping in a noisy voice. Seeing that no one heard anything in this environment, and the mother-in-law was driven away again, Xu Liu became a little bolder, and she looked at Fan Jin with a red face and said, "Brother-in-law...... You really want me to get married? ”

"It's not that I want you to get married, it's that the old lady wants you to get married. In fact, it's not to marry right away, but to find someone to settle down, so that the old lady will be on her mind. Personally, I think that marriage should be cautious, after all, it is related to the happiness of your life, if you choose someone to marry, it is not a good thing for anyone. It's just that the marriage of our Ming Dynasty is like this at the moment, like gambling, marrying the right person is the good vision of the parents, marrying the wrong person means that you can't run it, and it is always the fault of the children. There's no way, the world is like this, and it doesn't give you a chance to get to know each other. You are luckier than most women and have the right to choose, so you should be more cautious and don't wronged yourself. ”

Xu Liu's mood was a little higher, "It's better to be a brother-in-law, the family only says that a woman should get married, and never tells me these truths." Those so-called talents, some of them are my eldest brother's friends, you think about who they are. There are also businessmen's families, and there is a man who is actually a dead lady, who is in his thirties this year, older than my eldest brother. I know what my mother meant, she thinks that I can only marry such a person like this, and only my brother-in-law is good to me......"

"Your sister is good to you, but it's inconvenient for her to find you a husband at this time. Besides, she can't send a group of sons from Huguang to you to choose. Just give up all of what you're talking about. It's not that you covet the wealth of the country's mansion, or you can't marry everyone's ladies, so you don't have to think about it. ”

Xu Liu looked at Fan Jin, "Then what does my brother-in-law think I should consider?" ”

"It doesn't matter what you look like, the key is that you like it and like you. This is very important, the two of them have to live for a lifetime, if they don't like each other, then the whole life is torture. I say that you are lucky, because you have the conditions to go and choose to find, and you have enough conditions to wait. When you meet the person you are destined for, you can also stay with him for a long time, without worrying about being destroyed by anyone. ”

"I'm a woman who has had smallpox, does anyone really like it?"

"Why not? You're so cute, so beautiful, how can no one like you. Don't always keep smallpox in mind, I'll forget if you don't say it. Not even someone with such a sharp eye can see me, let alone anyone else? ”

Xu Liu hugged the scroll tightly to his chest, bowed his head and was speechless, his eyes only looking at Fan Jin's boots. After a long while, he suddenly said, "Brother-in-law...... If I am forced by my mother to marry someone I don't like, and he bullies me again, will you stand up for me? ”

"Of course, who dares to bully such a cute little sister as me, of course I have to teach him a lesson. But the best thing to do is not to marry. The old lady loves you so much, she won't force you to marry. Besides, you still have a trick, you can cry. As long as the crying old lady is soft-hearted, she will not ask you to marry. The main thing is that you said that you want to become a monk if you have nothing to do, which scared your wife, and it is good to mention less about the family in the future. ”

Xu Liu muttered in a low voice, but Fan Jin didn't hear it clearly, and when she asked again, she shook her head and refused to say. took the initiative to divert the topic and asked Fan Jin what he was doing in the countryside. When she learned that she was going to check the summer grain, she suddenly said, "Brother-in-law...... Can you accompany me to the countryside for a few days? You know, my family's tomb is in Zhongshan, and I want to go there to sweep the tomb and pay tribute to my ancestors. ”

This kind of thing is very correct filial piety at the moment, and no one can say that it should not be. Fan Jin naturally supports it, but he has to do the right thing, I'm afraid he won't have this situation. Chen Youfang and Liu Peng are in charge of the collection of summer grain, which is an idle move by him. This work is the scope of the other party, and it is not easy to encroach on yourself. But the post-investigation is their own responsibility, and if they can find out the problem, they can clean them up. With such a big event, how can I have time to play with the little girl.

Xu Liu said with a smile: "This kind of thing also has to be done by my brother-in-law, so isn't my brother-in-law going to be tired to death?" Isn't it just this little thing, just send someone to do it. It's good to let a few brocade guards and a few stewards ask, it's not a big deal. ”

Wei Guogong is the sitting tiger of Jiangning, and his influence is all over the yamen, and there are also a large number of old departments of the Xu family in the Jinyi Guard. Although these people are of average quality, they can still do it after all to investigate the private evils of this kind of summer grain collection. The private disadvantages in this are not complicated, and Xu Liu himself knows a thing or two.

She smiled mischievously: "If my brother-in-law goes to play with me, I will help my brother-in-law check the summer grain and ensure that those people's personal abuses are cleaned up." When the time comes, let the brother-in-law beat them and teach them a good lesson. In fact, I know what my brother-in-law is worried about, isn't it just that I am afraid that I will not be able to finish the class? In fact, this is nothing, I asked my father to say hello to Wang Shizhen, and it would be good to apportion the taxes of Shangyuan County to other counties, and a little bit for each county, so my brother-in-law would not have to worry. ”

"Child, you're digging up flesh to mend sores, not a solution." Fan Jin shook his head, but looking at her disappointed and pitiful look, he still couldn't bear to refuse her, "I'm afraid of you, didn't I just go to Zhongshan to play with you?" I answered, remember to call your eldest brother, and the two of us will talk slowly. ”

Xu Liu smiled on his face and hugged the scroll tighter, "I know that my brother-in-law loves me." Then I'll go home and prepare, and don't lie to anyone. ”
