Cheng Wanwan carefully explained the educational philosophy of the women's school to the queen.
The more the queen listened, the more interested she became. At first, she just mentioned a small idea, but she didn't expect it to become a tangible reality with Cheng Wanwan.
If all the women who sign up can be enlightened, learn second- and third-level skills, and improve their ideological level, the entire Daewoo Dynasty will undergo great changes.
But Cheng Wanwan's ideas were too advanced, and some were obviously not suitable for the feudal era. After the queen put forward her opinions, she immediately revised them. The two stayed in Kunning Palace for a whole day before finalizing the final plan.
After the plan was finalized, the queen called her female officials to assist Cheng Zhao in implementing the plan.
Cheng Wanwan left after having dinner at Kunning Palace.
As soon as I walked to the palace gate, I saw a familiar figure.
"Ahem!" King Qin walked over with his hands behind his back, "It's getting late and it's not safe on the road. I'll take Mrs. Sui back."
Cheng Wanwan shook his head: "With maids and guards, I don't need to worry about it."
"Actually, I want to ask Mrs. Sui about the girls' school." King Qin had nothing to say, "The capital is considered the richest place in the Dayu Dynasty. Even so, only the daughters of officials can join the clan to learn to read and write. The rest of the daughters of merchants and common people think that studying is a waste of time and money... In other words, the rich have a place to study, and the poor have no need to study. Can this girls' school really be opened? If it ends without any disease , will the emperor’s sister-in-law blame you?”
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much." Cheng Wanwan smiled, "Even if it cannot be opened, the Queen will not put the blame on me. Besides, I think that the girls' school will be successfully opened."
When she was in Kunning Palace during the day, she discussed this issue with the Queen.
The problems mentioned by King Qin do exist, but they are not unsolvable.
Now there are three princesses under the emperor's knees, all of whom are of suitable age to study. The princesses cannot enter the Imperial Academy, so they have been given private lessons by female concubines.
The queen decided to let the three princesses directly enter the girls' school. In other words, the princesses who had always lived in the harem appeared in front of the public. Then, those who were officials would definitely come non-stop in order to make their daughters and princesses good friends. Sign up – that’s celebrity power.
If the rich have a princess taking the lead, their livelihood will not be a problem.
As for the poor, it is easier to deal with it. Enrollment is free for the first three years, and only a low tuition fee is charged thereafter. There will always be some people who will be tempted.
The students of a school come from the top and bottom of society. This should be the biggest problem this school is about to face.
Cheng Wanwan silently lit a candle for the future headmaster of the girls' school.
King Qin looked at Cheng Wanwan, and through the palace lantern, he could clearly see her facial features. Her temperament was unique, and her face was full of confidence and brilliance.
She is a woman who has traveled from Dahe Town to the capital. No matter where she goes, she seems to be able to do sensational things.
Even if the women's school really fails, it is not a blow to her, it should be an experience. She will become more courageous with each setback and go further and further.
In the past, he felt that he had a special status, and he could count on one hand the number of women in the world who were worthy of him.
Now, he saw her brilliance, and he truly realized that except for his identity, he was useless and he was not worthy of Mrs. Sui of the Dayu Dynasty.
Maybe he should do something.
"Your Majesty, I have to take my leave."
Cheng Wanwan bowed as usual, turned around and held Gu Bing's hand to get into the carriage.
After the carriage had gone a long way, Gu Bing opened the curtain and took a look outside: "King Qin is still standing at the palace gate looking in the direction of Madam."
"The way King Qin looks at Madam is weird." Gu Leng frowned, "Madam, why don't I sneak into Prince Qin's palace to find out what King Qin wants to do to Madam."
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
She was already considered a straight girl, but it turned out that these twin sisters were even worse than her.
"No need." She said, "The girls' school will be opened soon, and I will be busy next time, so there is no need to waste time on such things."
Her attitude was already very clear, and she thought that King Qin would not bother her too much and let the matter go as it was.
Because it was difficult for the queen to leave the palace, and it was difficult for the female officials in the palace to understand what Cheng Wanwan meant, therefore, for the next period of time, Cheng Wanwan was busy with matters at the women's school.
Lu Yingxue assisted Situ Man in opening the third reading pavilion in Beijing.
This reading pavilion is located at the end of a slightly quiet street in the north of the city. It has three floors and is decorated in a very stylish way.
Lu Yingxue deliberately took out some paintings that her husband had done during his free time and hung them on the wall in the lobby: "People in the capital only know that Dongliu layman is good at analyzing imperial examination questions, but they don't know that Dongliu layman is better at painting. Look at this The mountains, the water, the scenery, the people... are so artistic in the writings of Dongliu layman..."
Situ Man nodded: "Nowadays, the name of Dongliu layman is very popular in the literati circle in the capital. The paintings written by Dongliu layman can be sold for at least a hundred taels of silver."
"Our Yu family can't afford a hundred taels of silver now." Lu Yingxue said with her hands on her hips, "If these paintings are placed here, let the literati look at them and praise them every day, our old Yu's reputation will become more and more prosperous. Well, one day..."
At this point, she got stuck.
She doesn't know when that day will be...
She didn't want to think about things she didn't know for the time being. She would finish the things at hand first and then talk about them. She continued to talk busy.
While busy, the news of the opening of the girls' school was officially released.
All of a sudden, people in the streets were talking about this matter.
"Have you heard that the Queen and Mrs. Sui jointly opened a girls' school, which is a place specifically for girls to learn and read."
"I heard that the three princesses in the palace have signed up for a girls' school. If my daughter also goes to this school, will she still be able to see the princesses?"
"If any princess goes to this school, she will definitely hire the best husband. I will also send my daughter to give it a try."
"If my daughter goes to study, who will do all the chores at home? I'm so worried."
"You have too low a vision. It's such an honor to be a classmate with the princess, but you still think about the trivial things at home."
"That's right. If you make friends with the princess, you might be able to find a job with her."
"..."
No matter what the people think, in short, the girls' school is popular.
In just half a month, there was an endless stream of people coming to sign up, and the number of students in the first batch reached 136, of which two-thirds were civilian women.
Time has suddenly entered February.
Because in mid-February the capital will usher in its biggest event - the Imperial Examination, and there will also be the Palace Examination next. In the past three to five months, the headlines in the capital will be related to the Imperial Examination.
Therefore, after discussing with the queen, Cheng Wanwan set the start time of the women's school five days before the examination.
