Fourth Master Sheng, who was full of melancholy just now, now has an even brighter light in his eyes.
When he heard the end, he even thought about the grand scene after his daughter's pregnancy!
Yes, if women have a chance to take the imperial examination, he will have five children who can take the examination!
The range of candidates this relies on has doubled!
Why didn't he think of it before?
My mother is still wise!
Seeing that he had figured it out, Mrs. Chang became impatient to listen to his flattery and waved him back again.
This time, Fourth Master Sheng said repeatedly.
After Songbai Pavilion became quiet, Mrs. Chang also stood up, held Grandma's hand and walked back.
As she walked, she whispered: "Go and tell Mrs. Chen that her previous request has been fulfilled. As for whether she can achieve her wish, it depends on their own abilities."
…
Sheng Ting sealed the envelope, put it in the hands of the maid, and warned: "The letter to the third sister should have been written a few years ago, but I was in a bad mood at the time, so it was delayed until now. When you send the letter, please don't write it later. Wait... By the way, bring some scraps of silver over there."
The maid said yes, bowed and went out.
Not long after, another nanny from the main courtyard came over to invite someone.
As soon as Sheng Ting entered the main room, she saw her mother's face was full of joy, as if something great had happened.
"Sister Ting, your father may want to send you to Yunqi Academy to study!"
Sheng Ting let her mother hold her in her arms. After hearing this, she couldn't help but feel confused for a moment.
Yunqi Academy?
Yunqi Academy!
Sheng Ting's breathing was stagnant!
But soon, she wanted to scream!
Her husband-in-law in her previous life studied there!
Calculating the time... maybe she and him could become classmates? !
Thinking of this, Sheng Ting's cheeks became increasingly red, and the longing in her eyes should not be too obvious.
Mrs. Chen didn't know what she was thinking, and she kept telling her: "My son, please remember, don't tell anyone before this matter is settled, not even Sister Chong." .”
Thinking of the two sisters who had no sense of existence, Sheng Ting felt a little weak in her heart and advised Mrs. Chen: "Mom, as the saying goes, a tree cannot support itself alone. After all, Sister Ciao and Sister Jun are also my siblings, although they are not as good as the two." We are close to each other as brothers, but if the relationship is maintained, then he will also be a support person in the future, at least closer than cousins, right?!"
When Mrs. Chen heard what she said, she tapped her forehead with her hand and said she had no conscience: "Your mother, am I the kind of person who treats concubines? But now I want to skip kindergarten and elementary school and want to study at Yunqi Academy." T-shaped class is not an easy task!
Sister Niao and Sister Jun are just ten years old and the other is only eight years old. They are still young! When they are older and you have achieved results in studying, maybe your father will take the initiative to send them to study too! "
Sheng Ting heard her mother's intention and immediately made up her mind to study hard and let her father see the results!
While they were talking, Aunt Tong from the side courtyard also told her two daughters: "Although I have little knowledge, I also know that your third uncle is trying his best to cultivate the second and ninth ladies.
Your third uncle is so valued by the queen that even the Duke of the country doesn't dare to beat him hard, so he must be well-informed! You two, sisters, are getting older every day. You should think about yourselves.
I am not a useful person, nor can I give you a brother. The only thing you can rely on is each other, so you should study hard.
You once said that there are rumors about women's imperial examinations. Although I don't understand, I also know that such rumors may not be without cause, and there is no way out in the future. "
Sheng Tiao looked at Sheng Jun who nodded and agreed. After thinking for a while, he told his mother: "I studied foreign language with my husband for a few days before. He said that I have a good talent... I thought, when I am older, I will be like my father." If I can learn a few foreign languages by studying in an academy, I don’t think that would be a suitable way out for me.”
After she finished speaking, Sheng Jun also nodded hurriedly: "Even if my sister and I become husbands, if our temperaments remain unchanged, we will not be able to become generals or prime ministers. Instead of competing with many people for the recommendation quota, it is better to rely on our true talents and knowledge." In the future, it can be considered a different path.”
…
A few days later, the crown prince's wife, Yunshi, was checking her daughter's dowry list when she saw Sister Zhi coming from outside with an envious face.
As soon as she entered the house, she rested her head in front of the window in a daze, still holding the book tightly in her hand.
As the saying goes, a good daughter is better than her mother. Seeing her behavior like this, Yunshi naturally guessed the reason.
"Are you coming back from Yongfan Garden?" Mrs. Yun waved away the maids and servants and asked her to tie the knot in the outside room. She held her daughter's hand and moved to sit on the couch.
"Well, Sister An will report to the Imperial College tomorrow. She said she will stay there and will only be able to come back once every half month."
Mrs. Yun looked at her daughter with bright eyes, gently stroked her bun, and said softly: "When I was in the boudoir, I loved reading the most. I often thought that a Chu girl can beat a horse and walk in the street, but why can't she be like you? Uncle and the others study and take exams like that.
Later, when I got engaged to your father, I thought again that I would not be like Yun's wife, who spent her whole day either doing housework or engaging in intrigues, without the slightest bit of scholarly atmosphere.
But after marrying into this palace, I had to endure many hardships before I figured out that the people who could make me settle down here were the people who were resourceful and resourceful; the people who could make my children and I live comfortably were the people who worked in the general affairs and economy. .
Son, reading is not bad, but we are born and raised in this world. What we need to learn is to integrate into this world, and to find wisdom suitable for our survival and life from books. "
When Shengzhi heard this, although she knew it was reasonable, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Seeing that she had listened, but not much, Yun couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone in the house is excited because there are rumors that His Majesty intends to benevolent to women and open the imperial examination for women."
"You think it's nonsense?"
Seeing that her daughter wanted to argue with her, Yun couldn't help but smile: "No, I don't think it is possible."
Shengzhi, who had prepared his draft: "..."
It feels like there is no room for performance all of a sudden, which is not very comfortable!
Yun rubbed her daughter's delicate little hands and persuaded her earnestly: "But even if the imperial examination is to be held, it won't be possible immediately!
It only talks about how to distribute official positions in the court, how to deal with the resistance from courtiers, and how to deal with secular habits and people's confusion?
All of these cannot be accomplished overnight!
If it takes five or six years, then Sister Anthracene can wait;
If it takes more than ten years, then Sister Yuan can wait.
I just ask my son, how long can you wait? "
As soon as she said this, the book in Shengzhi's hand instantly dropped.
Seeing her eyes full of tears, Mrs. Yun sighed inwardly. Without revealing anything on her face, she knelt down to pick up the book and patted the dust on it with great treasure.
After reading the title of the book, she put the book into her daughter's hands with her own hands.
Holding her daughter's slightly trembling hand in both hands, Yun looked into her eyes and said, "Although I rarely read books and study hard now, I have never regretted reading.
Because I had read a lot of books, I was able to escape from the whirlpool of fighting in the back house. I was able to be brave enough to make trouble and bring the chaotic situation back to normal.
Reading has given me a wise mind, sharp eyes, and various experiences.
Reading taught me to analyze, fight, and be indifferent.
Likewise, in turn, real life has taught me that for girls, reading is a good thing, but it also depends on the situation. "
Shengzhi felt exhausted after hearing the end.
What she wants is not these!
Shengzhi felt depressed, but looking at her mother who was trying so hard to comfort her, she still tried to contain her grievances and just silently clenched the book in her hand.
