Hearing the two men mentioning the women's school in Nanchu, Su Rong became interested and no longer drowsy. He sat up straight, looked at Ye Guixue, and asked him how the women's school has been doing in the past five years. There are still no female officials in the Southern Chu Dynasty. Is it because women’s schools are not good enough?
Ye Guixue shook her head and answered her, "The women's school in Nanchu is pretty good. Some people are selected every year. Some of the female students trained in the past five years are good at history and compiling history books. Some are good at writing and provide services to wealthy families. Some of them are good at business and have achieved some success, and some stay in women's schools to teach. Your Majesty has not set a precedent for conferring female officials, because he wants to set this precedent for the future when the princess returns to the court."
Su Rong understood, "It seems that the King of Nanchu is a king who is not limited to men being superior to women. He appoints people on their merits, which is good."
From the files about Nanchu collected in the East Palace, it can be seen that the king of Nanchu was actually very capable and skillful as an emperor. It was a pity that he met his mother and was trapped in love all his life. He no longer had the energy to revitalize Nanchu. Otherwise, Nanchu would Under his leadership, the situation will not be as entrenched and entrenched by various forces as it is today.
Ye Guixue nodded, "The king loves the princess, so naturally he wants to pave the smoothest road for the princess."
Su Rong smiled and stopped talking.
The smoothest road, the support of Ye Xiangfu, Ye Guixue's 100,000 troops, and the Tiger Talisman gave her some confidence, but such a smooth road had to be exchanged for something.
Originally, she felt that she should just change. She didn't care. She was willing to make big gains by losing small things. After weighing the pros and cons, this was her best choice. She had no reason not to accept it.
But now, she was a little confused as to how to walk on this smooth road. No, it couldn't be said to be confused, but rather unsure.
There was no bottom line, and she knew exactly what the problem was.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Ye Guixue briefly talked to her about the situation in the women's school in the past five years, and also mentioned a list of some girls who had done well in the women's school, what family background they came from, what their character was, what they were good at, etc. wait.
Su Rong listened to what he said in great detail, but his tone was smooth, gentle and calm. Obviously, in his eyes, these female students were like goods waiting to be sold. For her, they could only be useful or not. One way and no other.
Su Xingze also heard it. He glanced at Su Rong and didn't say anything. He just thought that Mr. Ye was doing everything right. Such a decent person, as my mother said, is great.
The carriage came to the market, stopped at a place, and a group of people got off the carriage.
When you first come to the capital, you naturally want to stroll around the streets of the capital to see the bustling street scenes and new things that are not available in Jiangzhou. It’s not about buying anything, it’s about wandering around.
The eldest lady sighed, "The capital is still prosperous."
Ye Qiuying raised her smile and said, "Grandma Sun, our capital in Nanchu is more prosperous than the capital in Daliang."
"Oh, is it?" The eldest lady was very surprised. After all, Nanchu was a small country, and it was also a vassal state of Daliang. Its land area was less than one-third of Daliang's. But she didn't expect that Ye Qiuying would say that Nanchu's capital city was bigger than Daliang's. Daliang capital is prosperous.
Ye Qiuying nodded heavily, "Yes, it's true."
Ye Guixue also nodded with a smile, "It is indeed true. Wei and Daliang trade with each other, and there are no restrictions on the trade of Nanchu. Your Majesty is in power, the treasury is abundant, Kyoto is peaceful, and the status of Nanchu merchants is higher than The status of merchants in both countries is high, so it is not surprising that the capital of Southern Chu is prosperous.”
The eldest lady suddenly said, "Hey, it's just too far, otherwise I really want to visit Nanchu."
"It's not too far." Su Rong took over, "Mom, just wait. After I return to Nanchu and sort out everything, I will take you to Nanchu to stay for a while."
Although the eldest lady didn't know if she had the strength to go that far, Su Rong's words made her yearn for it. She smiled happily and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to pick me up to stay for a while."
Several ladies also took the opportunity to say: "There are still us, mother, don't forget to take us with you."
The eldest lady waved her hand, "As long as you can walk a long way and are not afraid of hardship."
The group of people chatted and laughed as they walked along the market, stopping and walking, because everyone in the group was good-looking. Not to mention Su Rong, Ye Guixue, and Su Xingze, the six ladies of the Su family also had good looks. , each has his or her own merits. The eldest lady has taken good care of herself, there are no fights between wives and concubines, and she does not fight with her husband every day. Except for Su Rong who gave her a headache before and made her uncomfortable, the rest of the time is very good, so she also looks very young. The eyes of people passing by stopped on a group of people, and they all marveled at their good looks.
A group of them were shopping leisurely. People who paid close attention to Su Rong and Ye Guixue in various major mansions in Beijing got the news that Ye Guixue was shopping with the eldest lady of the Su family and the young masters of the Su family. They all thought about it. , This person of the Su family has really underestimated them. The eldest lady of the Su family is obviously a person, and the ladies of the Su family are also very powerful. Who would have thought that they escaped from danger the night before yesterday. According to common sense, women and children must be frightened and rest. Who would have thought that for a few days, people would not be affected at all, but in just one day, they could leisurely go shopping in the market. It is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Many families in Beijing heard that the six young ladies of the Su family had not yet agreed to get married. Those who had unmarried young men of suitable age sent their capable maids and clever maids out of their houses to go to the market to observe secretly, hoping to advance the marriage. I want to know if I can try to get married with the Su family.
In particular, in today's court situation, it is obvious that the prince has gained momentum. Those who used to be afraid to get involved in the East Palace can no longer get involved in the East Palace. It is better to start with the Su family. Anyway, the Su family is now the East Palace faction.
There were many people who had such a plan. As a result, Su Rong discovered that half an hour later, there seemed to be a lot of tails following behind their group.
Ye Guixue naturally found out, and Su Xingze also found out, but none of the three said anything until the eldest lady also found out, and asked Su Rong in a panic, "Xiao Qi, why do I feel like someone is always secretly watching us? ?”
Su Rong was amused, "It's not surveillance, maybe someone is curious about you and your sisters and sent someone from the mansion to come out and take a look at you."
The eldest lady suddenly said, "That's it."
She became interested and said, "Then let them see more of it!"
Then he said to the six young ladies: "You guys should learn from your sister not to be too dignified. Be more casual. We are not meeting guests at home. This is shopping in the market. What you are going to see is the excitement, fireworks and freedom. As a person, People who have been there know best that as elders, they like dignified and virtuous wives, but as men, they like those who are particularly coquettish and cute. You don’t have to be too rigid. No matter how much your elders like you, it’s better to have your own. The husband you marry likes it.”
