The population of Coconut City is not large, and the security here is still a problem for the time being, so even some officials are reluctant to bring their children, so there is only one school in the entire Coconut City, and there are only more than 300 students in the school, which is also a fairly large school.

Although there are a lot of Americans who came this time, but among this group of people, there are actually very few children like Thea, and the general age is more than seventeen or eighteen years old, after all, before these come, they have to learn Chinese well, and young people at this age have the strongest learning ability, and the most are selected, only a few children like Thea can learn Chinese well in a short period of time, and come with their parents.

It is precisely because of this that there are not many American children who can come to school, less than 40 children out of more than 5,000 people, and the school takes into account that these children are too old and do not have any foundation, so they are reorganized into a class, and the curriculum taught is also different from the average student, and Thea takes classes in this class.

Thea was very much looking forward to the first day of class, but when school was out in the morning, one of her little faces became a bitter gourd face, and Ma Xiaoyu came to her to eat together, and Thea still looked sullen.

"Thea, what's wrong with you?" Ma Xiaoyu also discovered Thea's abnormality, so after sitting down after lunch, she immediately asked.

I saw Thea flatten her mouth and said with a crying voice: "Xiaoyu, do you think I'm stupid?" ”

Ma Xiaoyu was also stunned after hearing this, and asked with some puzzlement: "Thea, why do you ask that?" Of course I don't think you're stupid, and your marksmanship is so good. Even my uncle is full of praise for you, like I only waste bullets. ”

Heard Xiaoyu say this. Thea finally regained some confidence, but soon lowered her face and said, "If I'm not stupid." Then why can't I understand a word of what the teacher said today? ”

Now Xiaoyu finally understood why Thea had such an expression, and said with a smile: "Thea, don't be discouraged, in fact, this is also a very normal thing, after all, you don't have any foundation, when you first start learning, it must be very difficult, but as the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you carry this time over." Then it's a lot easier! ”

"Really?" Thea was in a much better mood when she heard her good friend's comfort, but she still didn't have much confidence in her tone.

"Of course, and isn't there still me, after a while, I'll help you with your homework, you know, I'm about to be admitted to middle school, and there's no pressure to teach a first-grade elementary school student like you." Ma Xiaoyu patted her little chest proudly and reassured.

Looking at Xiaoyu's appearance, Thea was both amused and grateful. I couldn't help but smile on my face.

This made Ma Xiaoyu even more happy, stretched out her hand and patted Thea's little head and said, "Okay, don't be sad, hurry up and eat." I'll help you catch up on the lesson after eating. In addition, these fatty meats you like to eat are given to you, and I will help you solve the vegetables you don't like to eat. ”

Xiao Yu said, picking all the fat on the plate to Thea. And Thea's mood is also improving. smiled at the moment and said: "Obviously, you don't like to eat fatty meat, but I really don't understand where green vegetables are better than meat?" ”

"Vomit~" Xiao Yu made a vomiting expression after hearing this. "These fats are oily, and they all look uncomfortable. Not to mention eating, and girls must also pay attention to their figures, I have a cousin who is too fat, and she has not been able to marry until she is nineteen, and she has become an old girl at home, so we must take caution! ”

Thea doesn't have as many eyes as Ma Xiaoyu, although she knows what it means to marry, but in Thea's opinion, the future husband who doesn't know where to squat until now is far less attractive than the fat in front of her. In the past, when she was in the tribe, such fatty meat was eaten first by the elderly and young children, and older children like her only had a greedy share.

The two girls ate quickly, Ma Xiaoyu took Thea to the grass in the school playground, took out Thea's textbook to help her make up the lesson, Thea listened very carefully, and immediately brought up what she didn't understand, Ma Xiaoyu also patiently helped her explain, which made Thea finally enlightened, and it became easier and easier to learn.

In fact, this is also normal, Thea can learn Chinese with other adults in such a short period of time, which proves that her IQ is definitely not low, so as long as she finds the right way to study, these elementary knowledge in the textbook will not be difficult for her at all, and in the end, even Ma Xiaoyu feels that Thea's learning ability is really strong.

With Ma Xiaoyu's help, the afternoon class immediately became much easier for Thea. After school in the afternoon, Ma Xiaoyu continued to help Thea make up for the lessons, but it was no longer limited to the courses taught by the teacher, but even the lessons that she didn't learn later, Ma Xiaoyu also began to explain to Thea, because she wanted Thea to complete the first-grade course in advance, and it was best to try to jump a few levels, so that the two of them could go to middle school together.

The original Qi Mansion in Keelung, Taiwan, has now been expanded into the palace of Great Qi, but Li Su is a pragmatic person, and he has not done anything about the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, except for Wen Xin as the queen, there are only a few people such as Xijun and Mei Niang, and now they are all concubines, as for Wen'er, Hua'er, and Luzhu, they are also named concubines, but their status is worse than that of the concubine.

Although the palace belongs to the management of Wenxin, the queen, Li Su also put forward a lot of creative suggestions for Wenxin, such as the biggest one is that eunuchs are no longer used in the palace, which is mainly due to two reasons, the first is that Li Su himself has a psychological barrier to eunuchs, and the second is that Daqi has a huge shortage of population, and one more eunuch is one less man who can have children, so in order to show his encouragement for childbirth, Li Su ordered the abolition of the eunuch system that had existed for thousands of years.

Of course, in the original Qi Palace, there were eunuchs like Gao Chong, but fortunately, there were not many of them, and Li Yu did not increase them later, so these people all became the hired managers of the palace, for example, Gao Zhong was responsible for managing the first few palaces of the entire palace, but without permission, he could not enter the inner palace.

The inner palace is mainly managed by Wenxin, and it is mainly dependent on the palace maids to take care of the entire inner palace, these palace maids are mainly selected to be innocent girls, at the age of twelve to enter the palace, and then in the palace to learn etiquette and other aspects of knowledge, but also responsible for taking care of the inner palace, and when they are twenty-four years old, they can go out of the palace to marry.

In addition, these palace maids, like officials, are also ranked, and if they choose to enter politics, then the rank obtained in the palace will not be cancelled, and the palace will arrange an official position of the corresponding grade for them. It doesn't matter if she doesn't enter politics, the palace will also give them a generous dowry according to different grades, even if she doesn't marry for the rest of her life, it is enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

Of course, the palace maids who were released from the palace were not pampered by Li Su, which can definitely be guaranteed. First, Li Su himself is not as lustful as Shimin, and secondly, Li Su is the emperor of a country after all, if a woman is really favored by him, it is impossible to let the other party out of the palace to marry.

These women who leave the palace not only have received a good education since childhood, but also the life in the palace will also train them to be extremely shrewd and capable, and also carry a rich dowry, so as long as the women who are released out of the palace over the years, they are still very sought-after, many young officials or rich people like to marry palace maids as wives, compared to those pampered daughters, these palace maids can not only be wives, but also become their good helpers in their careers.

These reforms in the palace are just a gesture for Li Su, but for those eunuchs and palace maids, it determines the happiness of their lives, especially the release of the palace maids from the palace, not only so that these young women no longer stay alone in the palace, but also with the marriage of these women, they can also spread the etiquette and knowledge learned in the palace, which is more conducive to the construction of a civilized society in Daqi.

At the palace gate of the Inner Palace of Daqi, Li Su stood on the high city wall, holding the female wall and looking down. Today happened to be the day when a group of palace maids were released from the palace, Wen Xin was presiding over the ceremony below, originally this kind of ceremony in the palace did not need Li Su to come forward, but he happened to be fine, so he rushed to see the excitement.

I saw that on the road leading to the palace gate, a brocade tent was set up on the road, Wen Xin was wearing a Yi robe, wearing a twelve-tree flower hairpin, wearing a white jade double pendant, and the outfit was gorgeous and solemn. This kind of dress is the queen's formal attire, and it will only be worn on particularly solemn occasions such as sacrifices and court meetings, and it will take at least more than an hour to wear it.

The number of palace maids who left the palace this time reached fifty, which is a relatively large one. These palace maids also wore solemn palace clothes, arranged according to their grades in the palace, and then entered the brocade tent one by one. At this time, Wen Xin would say a few words of encouragement to the other party, and then take a tray from the side and send it to the palace maid.

There are two things on this tray, the first is a unique hairpin made of gold, according to the different grades, the hairpin is inlaid with gems of different quality, and the style is also slightly different, if the discerning person sees it, he can immediately judge the grade of the hairpin owner in the palace.

In addition, there is a palace book similar to a school graduation certificate, which indicates the name, age and place of origin of the palace maid, as well as the time of entering and leaving the palace, the position and grade held in the palace, the contributions made, etc., and even the comments written by Wenxin himself. And after the palace maid leaves the palace, with this palace book, you can go to the bank to receive your own dowry, of course, if you want to enter politics, you need to hand in the palace book, and the palace will arrange corresponding positions for them, so the value of this palace book is far more important than the commemorative hairpin.
