"Madam, now Mi Thirteen's whereabouts are uncertain, Bai Yu and others are strong in martial arts, Madame travels rashly, it is too dangerous, once it is lost, Ji can't afford it." Ji Lianhong still stood in front of Meng Xueqing and said.

Meng Xueqing smiled and said: "I have heard Ji Lianhong's martial arts say a long time ago, if it weren't for the fact that the actual combat experience is slightly weaker, it is definitely above my master, what?" Are masters like you scared? ”

Obviously, Ji Lianhong was very useful to Meng Xueqing's words, squinted his eyes and nodded, and said after a while: "Yes, Madame's agitation method is useless." Poor Dao is afraid, Bai Yu and the others are already beyond the ghosts and gods, and I can fight the enemy without my strength, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for me Ji to protect Mrs. If there is something the lady wants to buy, just tell the next person, so why risk your life? ”

"I don't go out of the city, I have some things to do in the city, with you with me, and the people in the martial arts are hired in the house. In this way, I can call another 500 elite soldiers to go out with me, right? Meng Xueqing said with a smile, this Ji Lianhong is sometimes tougher than Duan Qingfeng, and when it comes to the group of brothers under Lu Bing, except for Qi Jingtong and Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan, there are few normal ones.

Ji Lianhong squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then said with a lost breath: "That's not necessary, there are too many people and the goal is too big, so let's do it, I and my family teacher will pick a few skilled brothers from the mansion to escort together, and then we will use a suspicious strategy to fight the east and west." ”

Meng Xueqing snickered in her heart, this Ji Lianhong, who has eyes above the top, is not good at scheming and laughing in addition to his profound martial arts, but he can actually point fingers at the east and west, but to see how much ability he has. So he said, "It's all up to you, you can do it." ”

Ji Lianhong didn't clench his fists, turned around and left. About a stick of incense has passed. A luxurious carriage stopped at the main entrance, and a woman was surrounded by a group of martial arts people and sent to the carriage.

After another stick of incense, the side door opened, Ji Lianhong escorted Meng Xueqing and walked out, and Liu Zhidong, the head of the Nanwu faction, was behind the cave hall. There are also seven or eight sturdy men beside him, all of whom have bright eyes and high temples, and they look like practicing their families.

Several people turned over and got on their horses, and Meng Xueqing and the maid got into an extremely ordinary carriage. Driving away from the Lu Mansion, Meng Xueqing couldn't help but smile and said, "It's a good finger to move flowers and trees from east to west." ”

Ji Lianhong did not relax his vigilance, he had no experience in the rivers and lakes, so he was more cautious and cautious as if walking on thin ice. The group turned around and smashed. Trowel turns. After turning seven or eight times to make sure that no one was watching. Ji Lianhong asked, "Madam, where are we going?" "In order to prevent the leakage of secrets, Ji Lianhong only said where to go when he went out, and Ji Lianhong can be said to have done a drip.

"Go to Qilu Academy Women's College." Meng Xueqing said, Ji Lianhong breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Mrs. was going there.

The women's college was built by Abbot Meng Xueqing, and was founded on the basis of Lu Bing's free school, Qilu Academy. Qilu Academy is committed to the all-round education of students in Dengzhou Mansion and even the surrounding areas, from the six arts of Confucianism to the art of war. And it is free of charge, which solves the problem of many children who are out of school due to poverty. It has also cultivated a large number of talents.

Lu Bing did not smash the jobs of those private school teachers, as long as the capable private school teachers were invited by Lu Bing to teach students, the salary was more than that of opening a private school by himself, and Lu Bing, who was incapable, did not give up, and basically hired them as a counselor. The so-called tutor is nothing more than an assistant to the teacher's teaching, teaching the younger children to read and write by hand below.

Qilu Academy is not a college, but most of the market towns have, each Qilu Academy is a wide area of well-built facilities, so it can accommodate many students, students from the age of seven to the year of the weak crown, divided into different teachers to lead. Shandong is the birthplace of Confucianism, and since ancient times, the people have been generous and attached importance to education, and Lu Bing's Qilu Academy can be said to have won the hearts of the people.

Lu Bing has a lot of things to deal with, and all the private soldiers and spies in the political field have to be involved, and it can be said that there are all kinds of opportunities, so he is so busy that he naturally won't focus all his energy on a small Qilu Academy. In fact, the problem of Qilu Academy was manifested at the beginning of its establishment, although the academy is free of charge, and school-age children can be enrolled for free, but the patriarchal preference is deep-rooted, plus the feudal ideology of women who have not left the cabinet should not go out of the door and do not step out, how can they show their heads in public?

As a result, the scene of Meng Xueqing's fantasy of a sea of people enthusiastically signing up did not happen, only chatting about dozens of people to save their lives, so far not every Qilu Academy has a women's college, only Dengzhou City has this lonely women's college.

Today is the first day of school in the academy, and Meng Xueqing, as the initiator, naturally wants to say a few words, to say that Meng Xueqing is the idol of most Shandong women. Not only is she beautiful, her career is successful, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the most important thing is that her husband and wife are harmonious, her husband and children are taught to each other, and her own man also has the ability, how can such a woman not be envied. As for Lu Bing's concubine, everyone can also look at it, regardless of identity or status, Lu Bing has it, so it's strange that a normal man doesn't take a concubine.

The women's college is located in the west of Qilu Academy in Dengzhou City, covering an area slightly smaller than Qilu Academy, but the construction is more exquisite, the cigarettes inside are like a fairyland, the green bamboo and pine forests gather together, and the northern compound is like a southern garden for a while.

When Meng Xueqing and the others came to the gate of the women's college, they couldn't help but be stunned, the gate of the college was full of people, and the ensuing flow of people made people unable to stagger their bodies at all. Could it be that the academy has suddenly become very popular, and people's minds have reversed and they want their daughters to sign up for study?

Ji Lianhong couldn't help but be lucky with one palm, ready to burst out at any time and hold his sword. Meng Xueqing smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, these are just ordinary people." ”

Ji Lianhong coughed lightly, looked at the other martial arts people around him, their faces did not change in the slightest as usual, and they could see that there was no danger now, that is, he was so inexperienced in the rivers and lakes that he would be like this. Ji Lianhong's face turned red and said: "It's better to be careful when sailing a 10,000-year-old ship." Hey, madam, did you see my luck, or do you have martial arts? How do you know that I am nervous Ji Lianhong swallowed it back when he came to his mouth anyway Meng Xueqing knew what he meant. Why should I expose my old scars again?

Meng Xueqing smiled: "Naturally not, but I haven't eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run." Our master and Duan Ye dance knives and guns at home all day long, and several children have also learned some martial arts, so I can also half-guess that Mr. Ji has some doorways. ”

Ji Lianhong smiled bitterly to himself, it seems that he is really too inexperienced in the rivers and lakes, and he is not as good as a woman.

Meng Xueqing's guards are all hard-handed, and there are many people with big shoulders and round waists, even if they are thin, they are very powerful. In the crowd, they surrounded Meng Xueqing, parted with their arms, and separated the crowd and crowded towards the front of the women's college.

Someone recognized it and shouted, "Isn't this Mr. Meng?" ”

Mr. is a very high term for women. Only extremely accomplished women can be called sir, Meng Xueqing nodded and smiled at everyone dangerously, and soon the news of Meng Xueqing's arrival spread throughout the crowd, and everyone made way for Meng Xueqing to make way for them.

Meng Xueqing walked through the crowd and walked to the front of the academy before discovering the problem. At the entrance of the college, I listened to a row of small sedan chairs or horse-drawn carriages. There were also some women who stood timidly beside the carriage with their heads bowed, presumably female students who had come to school. It is a rich girl who rides a horse and sits in a sedan chair, and the girl who stands in plain clothes is an ordinary girl.

It is said that a rich girl should ask a gentleman to teach at home, and she can read and hyphenate words, and there is a special piano master to help her in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she should also be assisted by an embroidery girl, but all this changed after the completion of the women's college. All the famous artists were invited away by Meng Xueqing, and there is no one on the market. Famous artists are nothing more than seeking wealth and fame plus seeking a good apprentice, and the women's college can meet them.

And the environment of the women's college is too good. It's really desirable, not to mention that this is the eldest lady of the Lu family. The rich people are more or less connected with the Lu family, and in order to have a relationship with the Lu family, they don't refute the face of the eldest lady, so they send their daughters no matter what they show up.

People are studious animals, and the daughters of ordinary people and poor families have no chance to go to school, but now that they have the opportunity, some adults who feel sorry for their children send their children here, and some of them should have secretly run away.

Meng Xueqing was still wondering why they didn't go in at the door, but they saw a group of people sitting at the door, it seemed that they were blocking the door of the academy. Meng Xueqing was angry in her heart, blocking others from seeking knowledge is a lack of morality, and blocking the Lu family from doing things is a lack of brains, these people who have no virtue and no brains, Meng Xueqing will go to the meeting for a while.

Meng Xueqing took lotus steps and walked towards the top of the stone steps.

Several old scholars and dozens of middle-aged people sat cross-legged and firmly blocked the door of the women's college, Meng Xueqing stepped forward, made a blessing and said, "Dare to ask everyone, why are you blocking the door of the school?" ”

"Where's the school? Women don't need to read! An old man with a white beard and hair stood up and said to Meng Xueqing: "A woman's family shouldn't show her face, come to the school all day long, and it will inevitably be seen by others. ”

Before Meng Xueqing could speak, someone else said: "The old man thinks that what Zheng Lao said is reasonable, the old man thinks that women should abide by women's morals, according to the etiquette law, if they are seen by others or there are rumors in the school, the husband's family can withdraw from the family." In the heavier case, he will take the responsibility of the woman's father, fine the gift money and even go to prison and exile. Dare to ask, Mrs. Lu, can you afford such a responsibility? ”

Meng Xueqing was speechless for a while, it is true, most girls have been engaged when they are very young, and even if they don't, they will definitely have this step in the future. At that time, as long as the man's family finds out about going to school, he will say that the woman is not virtuous, or that a man has a relationship, or even something indecent. The woman has to return the gift money, and if the circumstances are serious, the woman's father must go to the man's house to apologize in person.

If the man's family forgives, it is easy to say, but this forgiveness has some costs, such as the woman is no longer a wife but a concubine or a large amount of compensation, if the man does not forgive, this matter is big. The woman's father was to be sent to the official court, and he was put in prison and sent to the army, so not only the woman herself, but even the family members also paid special attention to the reputation of the girl, which was related to the rise and fall of the entire family.

Meng Xueqing sank her mind for a moment and said, "It's a bad habit, why do you have to abide by it?" It's better to change it completely and let all women in the world come to study. ”

"You, you" Several old men trembled with anger, pointing at Meng Xueqing and speechless.

Meng Xueqing vomited quickly, and continued: "It is said that reading is good, is it really just to study for fame?" Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles, read more than 10,000 books and write like a god, how to say that reading is good, both men and women want to be virtuous people, so although it is not the only way, it is a road that most people have to pass, what is it? It's reading! Once a person becomes a virtuous person, he will use his cultural atmosphere to influence the people around him. Wasn't Meng's mother's three moves back then also due to such a reason? Therefore, a woman's study can not only assist her husband, but also affect the growth of her husband and children. Etiquette, etiquette is just a human design, and it has to be broken by people!
