The car was quiet for a while, Lin Qingwan lowered her head to taste tea, and the eldest princess looked at her indifferently, and her heart was even more uneven. ◢ With * dream * small ◢.1a

When the two met for the first time, Lin Qingwan was very respectful, and even acted nervous, which was completely different from today's calm and relaxed.

Because of this, the eldest princess felt that she was scheming even more, and everything before was pretended.

Lin Qingwan felt that the eldest princess's gaze falling on her was getting more and more unkind, so she couldn't help but put down the teacup, raised her head and smiled: "My sister has nothing to do in the afternoon, if my sister doesn't dislike it, I invite you to go to Yipinlou for a gathering?" I heard that their family has a new chef who is good at cooking Huaiyang cuisine. ”

"Isn't that just to my sister's taste?"

"Exactly," Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "My sister has never been to Jiangnan, and it is difficult to invite you to try the specialties over there, so this time I just took this opportunity to invite my sister to try the taste over there." ”

"Okay," said the eldest princess with a smile, "I also want to try my sister's favorite dishes." ”

The coachman left the imperial city and went to Yipinlou.

The eldest princess leaned against the window boredly, lazily looking at the crowd outside, and her heart couldn't help but drift to the palace, the queen mother's words kept echoing in her head, and she frowned a little irritably.

Lin Qingwan glanced at her and didn't speak.

When they arrived at Yipinlou, the two of them were welcomed by the shopkeeper to the box upstairs and sat down, Lin Qingwan poured tea for her and asked with a smile, "I see that my sister has been frowning, is there anything bothering?" ”

The eldest princess looked up at her and didn't speak, and when the shopkeeper came to take the menu and retreated, she walked to the window and looked at the crowd outside and said, "Does my sister think it is difficult for a woman to be an official in the court?" ”

"Difficult!" Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "It is still difficult for a man to be an official, let alone a woman?" ”

The eldest princess sneered, "What's so difficult about them, as long as they are admitted to the Jinshi, or are introduced, no matter how bad they are, they can still participate in other scientific examinations or join the army, there is always a way to become a leader, but women, now there are only you and Ruying in the whole world." And all of your circumstances are special, but one is indispensable, and it is extremely difficult for a woman to become an official. ”

Lin Qingwan didn't deny it, nodded and said: "It is indeed more difficult for women to become officials than men. ”

"But why?" The eldest princess turned around and said: "Emperor Wu is a woman, Tang has more female officials, and I am a Liang inherits the Tang system, why can't there be female officials?" ”

Lin Qingwan thought for a moment and said, "Probably because women can't participate in the imperial examination." ”

It is a female official established in the Tang Dynasty, except for some who can participate in court politics, most of the others still serve in the harem.

The eldest princess's eyes lit up, yes, what if a woman could also participate in the imperial examination?

She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My sister is a person with great ambitions, why don't you open a women's imperial examination to Your Majesty?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "Sister is too naïve, don't say that this woman's imperial examination is difficult to open, even if she can open it, how many women in this world will take the exam and can pass it?" ”..

"Why can't you take the test, the women I know, they know and learn no less than men." If there are more female officials, who will stop her from coming out?

Did the sister ask them, would they be willing to become officials?

"There are thousands of women in the world, and there are always people with lofty aspirations."

"However, people with lofty ambitions may not be talented, and talented people may not have this ambition," Lin Qingwan shook her head and said: "Nowadays, there are still too few women with this ability, like me, most of them are learning from home, if it is not for the origin of family learning, I am afraid that I will not have the ability to participate in politics." ”

The eldest princess didn't hear Lin Qingwan's sarcasm, and frowned and thought deeply.

Lin Qingwan was only a little bit over, and continued to sigh: "In the end, they are not as good as men, they not only have all kinds of private schools, but also county schools, government schools and national schools, Mr. Lin Bu, as long as you are willing to work hard and have no bad talent, you will always have a bright future." ”

"I can't wait to run a school, only teach women!"

"It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to do," Lin Qingwan said embarrassedly: "When I was in Suzhou, the Lu family school set up a women's school, but the main teaching was the girls in the clan and the children of relatives and friends, and it was difficult for ordinary people to go to study." ”

"Yubin also set up a women's school last year, but it was much more relaxed, even girls from poor families can also go to study, but it is also difficult to operate, and most of them teach them some crafts to make a living, but it is difficult for them to enter the court as officials."

"Just because they can't do it doesn't mean I can't," the eldest princess raised her head slightly and said: "The girls of the official eunuch family will always be more spiritual, and they have been studying since childhood, and some of them are no worse than their brothers. ”

The more the eldest princess thought about it, the hotter her heart became, and she turned around twice and said, "There is no one in the hundreds, and there is always one person in the thousand people who can pass the test, right?" They are the girls of the eunuchs. ”

Lin Qingwan twitched the corners of her mouth, let's not talk about whether you can run such a big women's school, a thousand girls from official eunuch families, how many eunuch families do you have to make up enough?

However, she didn't splash her cold water, and nodded: "Sister is not wrong to say so." ”

"The first priority is to raise the matter of opening a women's imperial examination with the imperial court, my sister ......"

Lin Qingwan was excited, and hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, I am also a woman, but I will definitely help if I need it, but shouldn't the top priority be to cultivate talents first?" With someone, I waited until I mentioned it in the book to be more confident. ”

The eldest princess thought about it too, but now that she is running a women's school and teaching talents, how long will it take, the eldest princess just thinks about it and feels irritable.

Lin Qingwan knew that she was irritable as soon as she saw her face, so she smiled lightly: "Sister, the matter of education is not in a hurry, and we dare not guarantee what will happen in the future, but it is just a matter of doing our best, and doing things in the future can be regarded as leaving something for this world, so that the historian has words to write, and it will not be blank." ”

The eldest princess bowed her head in contemplation.

Coincidentally, the guy came to serve the food, and Lin Qingwan asked her to think for herself.

At this meal, the eldest princess ate absent-mindedly, and she didn't make up her mind whether to take this step until she returned to the princess's mansion.

She felt that it took too long to train female officials as the starting point, but what the queen mother said was right, she had no military power, unless she made great contributions like Lin Qingwan and established prestige among the courtiers, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the ranks.

But all her forces have been squeezed out of the capital, and now the country is in no trouble, where does she get the credit?

In other words, it is a disaster for the country, she is neither as good as Zhong Ruying who has soldiers and horses, nor is she like Lin Qingwan who has money and food, her only advantage before was that there are people, and now this advantage has also been lost, it is a disaster for the country, and it is difficult for her to make meritorious contributions beyond the courtiers.

Isn't it okay to stop there?

The eldest princess was unwilling.

The eldest princess was entangled and couldn't even take care of her two sons, so the queen mother suggested to the emperor that she start to rectify the study.

Within two days, several regulations were changed, and from now on, all school-appropriate royal children entering the palace to study in the palace must live in the palace.

The Queen Mother vacated several courtyards next to her palace and threw all these children into it.

Now, the eldest princess only has two sons, Fu Qing and Fu Feng, and King Qi only has two sons, and the new emperor only has the eldest son who is suitable for school, and the younger son is now going to the study just to play with his brothers, and he basically sleeps in class.

So there are fewer children, and two yards are installed.

Knowing that his nephews were going to stay in the palace, King Lu, that is, the fifth prince of Zeng, happily circled around them, especially threatening the son of the new emperor, "Da Lang, if your father doesn't let me enter the court as an official, be careful and I will beat you every day in the future!" ”

King Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth, pulled him and said, "Fifth brother, don't make trouble." ”

"Who made trouble, the master even served as a proton, why didn't you let me enter the court as an official?"

"Isn't that because we're young?"

"It's you who is smaller, I'm a person who has experienced wind and rain."

The eldest prince was not threatened by the fifth uncle at all, sat on the chair, rolled his eyes and said, "If you dare to beat me, I will go and sue the imperial grandmother and ask her to marry you a dominatrix back." ”

King Lu glared and raised his fist to beat him, but the eldest prince had already jumped off the stool and ran away.

King Qi's two sons, as well as Fu Qing and Fu Feng, have been bullied by him a lot recently, so they naturally helped the eldest prince escape, and turned around to make faces at him to provoke, and there were shouts and chases of "wow" in the courtyard not long after.

The palace maid who was sent to see the situation silently retreated, let people keep an eye on it, don't let them play too much, and then go back and return to the queen mother, "Niangniang, if you arrange the princes here, will it disturb you." ”

The Queen Mother smiled indifferently: "It's across the courtyard wall, and I'm old and sleep less, so let's be noisy, as long as Qing'er and Feng'er can learn well, don't be as pampered as their mother." ”

The Queen Mother blamed herself a little when she said this, "In the end, I didn't teach her well." ”

The palace maid didn't dare to speak, the queen mother could say that the eldest princess, but it was impossible for them to say it.

The Queen Mother bothered to intervene in the study, for the sake of these two grandsons, they were still young a few years ago, but they were lively and cute, but recently they have become more and more squeamish.

Now the queen mother's biggest headache is the eldest princess, so naturally she is not worried about raising children, so it is best to put it in the palace.

Fu Song has always respected the Queen Mother and has no opinion at all, and the eldest princess is in a tangle and doesn't notice it for a while.

In addition, Fu Qing and Fu Feng were playing well with their cousins, although they were always bullied by the fifth and sixth uncles, but they also took them to play, so as soon as the grandmother gave the order, they carried a small burden and entered the palace with two people who were waiting for them.

When the eldest princess felt that she hadn't seen her two sons for a long time, they had been living in the palace for three days, and they were even more happy.

Eldest Princess: ...... There's always a not-so-good premonition.

After sending her youngest son, she went to the study to find a colt, and said worriedly: "I want to run a women's school, but I think it takes too much time, Xianggong, do you say I open it or not?" ”

Fu Songping's love in his life is only Danqing and the princess, so he didn't know about the princess's power, and said with a smile: "There are not many affairs in the house, and the husband can also share one or two for the princess, so you can do it if you want, don't worry about spending time." ”

The donkey's lips were not on the horse's mouth, but the eldest princess did not explain in detail, she frowned and did not speak.

Fu Song held her hand and said with a smile: "If the princess wants to do it, do it, you have been working hard for the family, and it is time to do something you like, no matter whether it succeeds or not, you have tried, and you don't regret it." ”

The eldest princess loosened her brows, leaned into his arms and said with a smile: "What you said is right, go and try it, anyway, if you don't try, I have nothing to do." ”
