A few days later, Fu Xuechen received a reply from Princess Zhiling.

In this letter, Princess Zhiling gave back a new work, which was still a cat, and at the same time, Zhiling also expressed her desire to get another sketch portrait of Fu Xuechen.

How did Fu Xuechen know that the last portrait had fallen into the hands of Yu Zuo, and it was just funny to see the letter, was it so rare to sketch portraits? Then just when are you interested in getting her a camera out!

The principle is known, that is, the photosensitive material is not easy to get, and then it is easy to be thought that the soul is photographed by the people of this era, and it requires a relatively high level of national knowledge and scientific popularization rate to make the camera a thing accepted by the world, which is not as good as sketching, which can be seen as a painting skill.

Fu Xuechen has had enough in his last life! Staying up all night studying caused her sudden death.

She just wants to live comfortably, so that she can live a little longer than the previous life, even if she wants to promote the germination and development of science, she will no longer have any sense of urgency or mission, and then take her life to sacrifice.

Besides, she is only one person, and she is still a little girl who needs to continue studying in the eyes of her elders, there is no system and no golden finger, even if she squeezes not a drop left, how many taels of oil can she squeeze out?

Let's find a way to build a girls' school first! With a girls' school, you can get a relatively free learning space, and you can also have many friends of the same age, as long as you can unite them, your strength can increase.

In addition to asking for paintings, Zhiling's letter also told Fu Xuechen in detail about the recent progress of the construction of the girls' school.

The efficiency of the Internal Affairs Office is still quite high, this is the emperor is creating a new learning environment for Princess Zhiling, the two princes are responsible for the preparation, and the supervision is still the six princes who are the most favored by the emperor recently, how can the Internal Affairs Office not be active.

In just two days, the terrain was ready, the site was chosen, and the construction officially began.

Thanks to the new establishment of the national dynasty not long ago, the capital copied countless remnants of the previous dynasty, confiscated countless lost lands and mansions, in addition to many residential shops and other things that were followed by Emperor Yuan An into the capital of a group of civil and military division and occupation, there are still many empty mansions and gardens that have been sealed by the government and not dealt with.

This gave the Internal Affairs Office a very good opportunity to find four or five suitable locations, turn out the map, and put it on Princess Zhiling's desk for her choice.

Princess Zhiling naturally remembered Fu Xuechen's suggestion, and sure enough, she chose one of the gardens as the address of the girls' school, which was only two streets away from the Kyoto Nursing Home.

Now that the garden has been fenced off, it is being vigorously renovated, the dead flowers and trees will be replaced, the dry ornamental lake will be refilled with koi carp, the original buildings in the forest will be renovated, and the space will be expanded according to the common distribution and layout of the classrooms in the college, and tables and chairs will be purchased......

Because there is no need to re-lay the foundation, build brick walls, and build beams and trees, if you just repair it, you don't need much money, and the progress will be very fast, and it is estimated that in another month, the girls' school can be built.

Now, according to Zhiling's requirements, the third prince has also found a lot of suitable female teachers for the girls' school, ranging in age from their twenties to their forties, and even the cook in charge of lunch has been found, just waiting for the official opening of the school.

Princess Zhiling planned to ask her father to inscribe the name of the girls' school, engraved it outside the gate of the garden, and asked Fu Xuechen what suggestions he had for the name of the girls' school.

Fu Xuechen smiled slightly, when she read this paragraph, the word "Tsinghua Garden" immediately appeared in her mind, but she didn't want to have the same name as it, so she thought of the word "Jinghua Garden", she would give these three words to Princess Zhiling as a reference, as for whether Princess Zhiling adopted it or not, or the emperor was interested in naming the girls' school personally, she didn't care.

At the end of the letter, Princess Zhiling mentioned that after the name of the school was established, she was ready to ask the saint to inscribe the name of the school, and proposed that the saint allow her to increase the number of female guards, so that there would be enough manpower to take turns to guard the safety of the girls' school for them.

As for patrolling and guarding outside the school, Emperor Yuan An had temporarily handed over this errand to the Qingwei Battalion of Yuzuo.

Originally, according to the plan, it was to wait for the completion of the girls' school to start publicizing and recruiting girls, but the rumors seemed to be slowly spreading, so the queen and the concubine expressed interest in this matter, and they were ready to hold a flower viewing party and tea party in the near future.

If it goes well, there may not be a need to wait for the girls' school to publicize the enrollment to the outside world, and the candidates for the students will probably be preliminarily determined before the completion of the project, and I don't know how many people will be able to recruit by then.

Because the garden is not very large, Zhiling estimated that the full number of students can only accommodate about 300 people, according to Fu Xuechen's suggestion, if it is temporarily divided into six age levels, there are only two classes in each level, and each class is less than thirty people.

However, the number of female gentlemen has been roughly determined, two each of the six major subjects of calligraphy, arithmetic, painting, music, female red, and cooking, and the rest also have miscellaneous servants such as assistants and cooks, adding up to about twenty-five people.

The monthly remuneration of female gentlemen is divided into two parts, one is silver taels, ranging from six taels to eight taels, and the other part is a fixed monthly two taels of white rice, two sets of clothes per quarter.

It seems that the grade of the female gentlemen invited by the girls' school is lower than the private tutors hired by the elites themselves, in fact, they are still the most famous people in Beijing, and the income of private teachers in the past is not stable for them, sometimes there are, most of the time they don't, and the amount of remuneration is not fixed.

It's different when you enter a girls' school, as long as you don't make mistakes, the girls' school doesn't close, they sign a contract, and they can work almost for a lifetime, which is simply an iron rice bowl, even if the monthly salary is much lower than that of being a private teacher, they are happy.

The restraints of the female students are the same, eight taels of silver per month, but it is much more expensive than the boys of Guozixue, and the tuition fee of Guozixue students is only twelve taels a year.

It seems that the cost of cultivating a female student is several times higher than that of cultivating a male student, but it cannot be compared like this, girls who have the conditions to learn things are either rich or expensive at home, and families without money will not train girls at all.

Even if there is no girls' school, the family invites them to hire a female gentleman, and the monthly cost is at least more than ten taels of silver, like Fu Xuechen now invites a total of three female gentlemen, because the grade of the gentleman is very high, the monthly bundle is more than fifty taels, if there is a girls' school, learning the same course, everyone has to pay five times less than in the past.

This is actually determined by the size of the school, and the reason why the tuition fee of Guozixue can be so low is because there are too many students in Guozixue! And the number of gentlemen is not more than that of the girls' school gentlemen.

If Guozixue is compared to a public school in later generations, then the girls' school is equivalent to a private aristocratic school, although the number of students is small, all aspects of facilities and resources are the best!

Because there are a lot of things to say, Princess Zhiling's letter this time has a lot of words, Fu Xuechen has read it for a long time, but the more she reads, the happier she becomes, she originally tried to get it, but she didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and she was about to succeed!

At the end of the letter, Zhiling said that she would pester the concubine Niangniang, so that the concubine Niangniang would have another flower appreciation party as soon as possible, and then she and Fu Xuechen could meet again and discuss the follow-up carefully.

"I'm looking forward to it!" Fu Xuechen smiled happily.

The days passed, and on the seventh daughter's day in July, the long-awaited cherry blossom viewing party finally came again!

Xie was invited by the palace again and took Fu Xuechen into the palace, because the post stated that he hoped that the age of the girls brought by the wives of each family would only be limited to those over eight years old and under the age of fourteen, Fu Rushuang was left at home.

After entering the palace, Fu Xuechen found that this time was different from last time, and this time the flower viewing party was much larger than the last time! It's not just Xie Guifei's invitation.

Many people came at the invitation of the queen, and this was a large-scale party jointly organized by the two hostesses of the palace, and for this reason, even the imperial garden was requisitioned.

Different from the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City that Fu Xuechen knew in his previous life, the garden of the Darong Empire is much bigger than that! The design shows the style of Jiangbei garden, tall trees, rockeries and other decorations that are easy to block the line of sight are few, and there are many lakes and lakes, nine-curved bridges, pavilions, weeping willows, flowers and trees and other scenery with a wide field of vision.

Because it is mainly a place for the harem concubines to play leisurely, there are also many stone tables and stone benches in the imperial garden, you can sit anywhere when you are tired of playing, and you can even see two or three swing racks in the corner, which provokes many girls to play around.

Coupled with the fact that there are a bunch of girls everywhere, at first glance, it looks like a Hanfu show on the campus in later generations, with beautiful dresses and exquisite hair accessories, even if you are young, you can't say that it is eye-catching.

"That's a lot of girls!" Fu Xuechen exclaimed.

If I don't see such a scene, I don't know that there are so many princes and princes in the Darong Empire, as well as many uncles, as well as civil ministers of more than three grades, and the daughters of these civil and military officials are gathered together, and the number is so large that it is dazzling.

What's more, because this invitation is not divided into concubines, but only by age, many of the women who were invited to come not only brought their own daughters and granddaughters, but also brought their daughters and granddaughters, either one to two, or one to three, and even one to four.

Princess Zhiling beside her smiled and said happily: "When our girls' school opens, we can have such excitement every day!" And what's even happier is that no matter whose elders are there at that time! ”

Xia Qinglian on the other side said worriedly: "I didn't expect there to be so many people, I feel like there are more than three hundred, right?" Did a girls' school recruit you? ”

At this event, she and Cui Xiaoyue, who were the princess's companions, also came.

Hearing Xia Qinglian's worries, Cui Xiaoyue, who has always been very assertive, pouted and said, "What is there to worry about, if you can't finish recruiting, you can recruit less!" Priority is given to recruiting concubines, and the candidates who are out of the concubines, maybe some of them are still unwilling to enter the girls' school! ”

In fact, before the establishment of the country, the society's view of the difference between women is not so clear, after all, women can not attack the lord, although the concubine is the wife, but most of them are just more famous, and the dowry may be more.

In fact, the status of a girl in her mother's family, look at her father more than her mother, if she is favored by her father, even if she is a concubine, she can bring more practical help to her husband's family than her daughter, if her father does not love, it is useless.

Fu Xuechen didn't pay much attention to the difference between the concubines, so he said: "Instead of dividing the concubines, it is better to divide the morality, today we might as well pay more attention to it, try our best to identify, whether there are any of them with bad upbringing, bad temperament, and frivolous behavior, secretly write them down, and exclude them when recruiting students, so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the girls' school." ”

When Xia Qinglian heard this, he immediately raised his hands in approval: "Yes, yes, yes!" That's good! Sister Xuechen's great idea! ”

"Yes! Do it! Princess Zhiling also agreed, and immediately summoned the palace maid who was close to her, so that Fu Xuechen's suggestion was turned into an order and passed on.

But what made Fu Xuechen speechless was that Princess Zhiling finally added: "Remember the ugly one!" ”

Princess, this big face control! It's too good to judge people, right? Fu Xuechen was slandered, good-looking may not be kind, ugly may also be kind and talented, how can he be treated differently?

However, if she is a princess, she has to do this, what can others do? Cold!

Cui Xiaoyue decisively complained: "Your Highness, it's not appropriate for you to judge people by their appearance!" Haven't you heard the allusion of judging people by words, slaughtering them by their losses, judging people by their appearance, and losing their sons? You're going to miss out on talent! ”

Princess Zhiling sneered embarrassedly but resolutely did not change: "I, I dare not be stronger than Kong Sheng." ”

"Poof!" Fu Xuechen was amused by Princess Zhiling, even Confucius made the mistake of judging people by their appearance, Sima Qian recorded this allusion to warn the world, but Princess Zhiling took that she didn't dare to be stronger than Confucius to maintain her big defect of judging people by appearance, that is, to be a face control with confidence.

Seeing that even Xia Qinglian was stealing fun, Cui Xiaoyue squinted speechlessly: "Your Highness!" If Sister Xuechen was a bad guy with a honey-bellied sword, wouldn't you have been sold by her and volunteered to help her count the money! ”

Princess Zhiling grabbed Fu Xuechen's arm and said with a smug smile: "However, Sister Xuechen is a good person!" ”

Fu Xuechen nodded at her: "Just because I'm a good person doesn't mean that other good-looking people are also good people!" ”

Princess Zhiling turned around on the spot, spread her hands and said: "The fact is that I can't find other beauties who can compare with my sister, with other people's looks, you can't bewitch me!" "She thinks she's pretty beautiful, and many people don't even think as good as her.

Xia Qinglian expressed his convincing: "Sister Xuechen is really good-looking!" Looks better than everyone else! ”

Fu Xuechen pursed her lips, when she first crossed over, she was also stunned by this beautiful face in the mirror, but the teenage girl is the time when the collagen on her face is the most abundant, and her skin is almost as tender as a baby, shouldn't she look beautiful? It's just that the body is still thin, and he is still a child, and he is not feminine at all.

Cui Xiaoyue was just about to say something, and a few new girls walked to the imperial garden after following the elders to meet the queen and concubine, and strolled towards this side.

The first girl wearing a water-green tulle skirt saw Fu Xuechen from afar, and she raised her hand excitedly and waved, and ran over with her skirt in surprise, calling as she ran: "Xuechen!" Xiao Chenchen! So you're here? ”
