No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 414 Debate between men and women!

Hearing the words of the stewardess who came out of the academy to invite everyone in, all the people around the gate of Anlan Academy were at a loss for a moment.

Linfeng Academy is a large academy with a long history, and Xueyang Academy, one of the three major academies in Dasheng, is just a junior with a history of only a few decades in front of him.Needless to say, Guozijian is the highest school in Dasheng, which not only gathers all the rich and powerful sons above the third rank in Dasheng, but also talents and celebrities from all over Dasheng join it.

Therefore, these two places are naturally the most unpleasant places to look at Anlan Academy.

The students of Guozijian and Linfeng Academy are all young and energetic, and they are a bit arrogant in their self-confidence. How can they bear being provoked a little?That's why we came to Anlan Academy together today.

The Guozijian is fine, the students of the Guozijian are greatly influenced by their father, brother and dignitaries in the officialdom. As for Linfeng Academy, it is said that they have an old grievance with Anlan Academy.

It is said that decades after the establishment of Anlan Academy, Anlan Academy once produced a genius, who actually defeated several talented scholars of Linfeng Academy in a row in a meeting of friends through literature.The talented scholar who had the most hope of winning the first place in the Spring Festival next year was so angry that he vomited blood, and died of depression not long after.

As a result, not only did Linfeng Academy be ridiculed by the world, but it also lost several consecutive imperial examinations to the students of Guozijian and Yongzhou Taihua Academy, which was equally famous at that time.

Of course, these are what Luo Junyao saw in the handwriting of unofficial history in the library of Anlan Academy, so it is unknown whether it is true or not.

However, there should be no need for the seniors of Anlan Academy to fabricate such a thing. If it is true, there may not be similar records inside Linfeng Academy. It is not difficult to understand that Linfeng Academy is not used to Anlan Academy.

"Sir, can we go in?" Everyone was unsure, so they had to ask the two gentlemen from Linfeng Academy who came with them.

The two gentlemen looked at each other with some hesitation. Although they also dislike Anlan Academy, they are not as impulsive as the young people. They will follow more because they are worried that the students will cause big troubles.

The stewardess smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, our academy is not ignorant of how to treat guests. The head of the mountain has never ambushed knives and axes in the academy when he invited everyone in."

The thin-skinned man immediately blushed upon hearing this, and his eyes were filled with anger.

How dare this woman ridicule them for being cowardly!

"Come in!" The two gentlemen naturally heard it, and said in a deep voice.

That's why the crowd followed them into the gate of Anlan Academy in a mighty way, and walked towards it.

The girls waiting on the martial arts arena were also very puzzled. Naturally, they also saw the female steward who had just come and gone in a hurry, and then saw that the princess regent and the gentlemen on the high platform seemed to be waiting for something, and they couldn't help talking in low voices.

Zhang Jingyu stood up and said to everyone with a smile: "Please wait for a moment, all the gentlemen and students of Guozijian and Linfeng Academy heard that Anlan Academy was opened today, and came here to congratulate. Let's have some hospitality and wait for the guests to come up .”

It's even more remarkable when these words come out. Who has heard of people coming here to congratulate after so many years?
Not to mention the two places of Guozijian and Linfeng Academy.

There are also many girls present, and there are many brothers in the family who are studying in these two places, so they are naturally familiar with them.

After Zhang Jingyu finished speaking, he sat back down again and did not stop the girls whispering.He just tilted his head and asked Luo Junyao, "Princess, is there anything wrong?"

Luo Junyao smiled sweetly and said, "What can be the matter? Mr. Zhang, don't worry. I don't know if Mr. Zhang is coming with you. Do you want someone to bring some chairs over? You can't let the guests stand?"

Zhang Jingyu thought it made sense, nodded and asked someone to bring some chairs over in case of emergency.

Not long after, the female steward who left came with a group of people.

The girls standing on the martial arts arena were also very curious when they saw so many young people wearing Confucian shirts, and they all stole shy and curious glances over there.

The group of young men who had come here suddenly were watched by so many young girls, and their aura suddenly dropped a lot.

Of course, some people cast disdainful glances at these girls, but there were also some girls who were not afraid, and stared back viciously.

"I kowtow to the princess regent, and to the eldest princess." Everyone was not surprised when they saw Luo Junyao, but they were slightly surprised when they saw the two princesses of Changling and Changzhao, and the teachers and students of Linfeng Academy and Guozijian hurried forward to pay respects.

The teacher has already saluted, and the students naturally can't stand still, and a group of students also bowed down one after another, "Kowtow to the Regent Princess, and to the Eldest Princess."

Luo Junyao said with a smile: "Everyone who comes is a guest, you don't need to be polite, please get up."

"Thank you, Princess." Everyone stood up, only to hear Luo Junyao continue: "Thank you all for coming to congratulate in person, Anlan Academy is flourishing. I would like to invite the two gentlemen to sit down. What do you call the two gentlemen?"

The two gentlemen are both in their 50s and [-]s. They have a handsome appearance and are full of poetry and calligraphy, but there is nothing special about them.

Both of them thanked the princess regent, and each declared their names.

These two are both gentlemen of Linfeng Academy, one named Dong Jian and the other named Yu Fang, who were once admitted as Jinshi and served as officials in the court, but later retired early due to some reasons and became the masters of the academy.

As for the Guozijian, it seems that it still needs to save face, and did not send a gentleman to come.

After all, the masters of the Guozijian, even if they are not of high rank, are still somewhat of an official.

Luo Jun shook his head and invited the two to sit down.

The two gentlemen took their seats on the stage, and naturally the students could only stand in the audience.

Luo Junyao looked at Qin Ning with some amusement as he compared some of the students in the crowd with bigger eyes, and even made faces without any scruples to make the other party very angry.

"The academy is officially opened today. My princess, as the head of the academy, welcomes all of you to study at the academy. I also congratulate the new students who have entered this year. I hope that you can study with peace of mind during your stay at Anlan Academy. , and don’t waste your time. Just like the words written outside the gate of the academy—diligent study, self-improvement, discernment, and earnest practice.”

"Thank you for the teaching, the students will remember it." The girls under the high platform responded in unison.

Luo Junyao nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Very well, if you have any important matters during your stay in the academy, you can tell the gentlemen or me. I am in the academy for five days every ten days. If I am not in Shanchang's study There are also people on duty inside. Next, Mr. Zhang will explain to you the rules and various plans of Anlan Academy this year, please listen carefully."

"Yes, Master Shan." Everyone replied again.

Luo Junyao made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Jingyu, Zhang Jingyu nodded with a smile and stood up.

She is very clear about her own position, and the specific operation and management of Anlan Academy still depends on Zhang Jingyu and others.

Her external image is more like an umbrella and a mascot. Of course, this is only external. She will continue to pay attention to and control the future direction of Anlan Academy.

Zhang Jingyu carefully described the future arrangements of Anlan Academy and the specific matters of each academy.Especially the four newly opened academies are the top priority, and the girls are listening very seriously.

After all, no matter old or new students, they all understand that this year's An Lan Academy is quite different from previous years.

They listened earnestly, but the students of the Imperial College and Linfeng Academy standing aside felt a little uncomfortable.

The attitude of the people in Anlan Academy was as if they were really guests who came to congratulate and watch the ceremony, but their purpose was obviously not like that.

Finally, when Zhang Jingyu had finished speaking, someone couldn't help but said loudly: "Mr. Zhang, the ancients said that women should be quiet and docile. for what?"

As soon as these words came out, the martial arts field immediately fell silent.

All eyes turned to the young man who spoke.

About seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a plain Confucian shirt, with a well-rounded appearance and a bit of childishness, he is obviously a young talent.

Zhang Jingyu said indifferently: "This young master thinks, what is courtesy?"

The young man proudly said: "Husband's propriety, the scriptures of heaven, the righteousness of the earth, and the behavior of the people."

Zhang Jingyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked calmly: "The ancients said that a man and a woman cannot kiss each other. If a sister-in-law is drowning, will you give her a helping hand?"

The young man frowned, with some disdain between his brows, he didn't understand why Zhang Jingyu would ask such a simple question.But he still replied: "If a sister-in-law is drowning and does not help, she is a jackal. If a man and a woman are not kissed, it is a matter of courtesy; if a sister-in-law is drowning, it is power to help her."

Zhang Jingyu sighed softly, "Women marry and obey their husbands, father dies and children are young, and the family has no constant wealth, what can I do?"

The young man was taken aback for a moment, and the question seemed not difficult.

But, is it really not difficult?
The young man immediately understood what Zhang Jingyu really wanted to ask, and his face was a bit ugly, and he said, "Sir, why do you have to argue so hard?"

Zhang Jingyu continued to ask with a smile: "How?"

The young man said angrily: "You should raise your young son and teach him to be talented. If his son will be named on the gold list in the future, he must be granted a royal order, so that he will not lose the name of a good woman and a good mother."

Zhang Jingyu said coldly: "Women are not good at farming, they don't know poetry, they don't know the truth, they don't know how to run a business, and they have too much time for themselves. How can they raise their young children?"

The young man was stunned, and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, a person next to him hurriedly said: "Nvhong weaving is all about making a living, how can she be too busy to take care of herself?"

Zhang Jingyu didn't speak, but Luo Junyao who was sitting beside him sighed.He turned his head and asked the two gentlemen sitting on the side, "Are these two students students of Linfeng Academy?"

Mr. Dong nodded in agreement, Luo Jun shook his head regretfully and said, "The students are all spoiled by you."

As soon as these words came out, the firepower originally aimed at Zhang Jingyu immediately turned to Luo Junyao, and the faces of the students below couldn't help showing dissatisfaction, even the faces of the two gentlemen Dong Yu were not good-looking.

"Why does the princess have to say something to humiliate my master of Linfeng Academy?!" Someone couldn't help but angrily said.

Luo Junyao leaned on the back of his chair and looked at the angry young people below the stage leisurely, and said casually: "I'm afraid that few of you who can study in the Imperial College and Linfeng Academy come from really poor families, right?"

Everyone looked at each other, but they did not find any students from poor families.

Those who can study in these two places are at least famous as scholars, not to mention that families who can afford to study these days at least have no worries about food and clothing.

Luo Jun shook his head and smiled, then turned his head and asked the two gentlemen, "You two gentlemen, widowed mothers who have lost their husbands, how many people can raise their youngest sons to become talents by relying on female red needlework?"

The two gentlemen looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed.

All of them have experienced the war at that time, so they naturally know the hardships of the people's livelihood better than these young people.

Luo Junyao didn't wait for them to come back, turned around and continued: "Besides, how hard is the needlework and weaving, if mother is blinded or physically exhausted because of this, isn't it not a son's unfilial piety? How can such an unfilial son have the face to stand above the court ?”

"This... the youngest son is still young, how can... Wang Hao's words are so unreasonable!"

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Aren't you arguing with your words? The so-called three obediences and four virtues have existed since ancient times? The world is in chaos, and when men die, women are required to assume the responsibilities of men. When the world is peaceful, they think of restraining women with three obediences and four virtues. It is really kind and righteous." , good gentleman."

Everyone on the high platform had different expressions, and the girls and teenagers under the high platform also had different expressions and whispered.

What the regent princess said was very blunt, which naturally had a great impact on these young people who studied the sage books hard, but it was also like a thunderbolt to these girls.

The lower the women are, the more they have seen the outside world, and the more deeply they feel about it.

They have seen those commoner women, and they are not qualified to pay attention to what kind of door they don't go out, even if they only do female red needlework at home, it is delusional.They work no less than men, but they still have to be restrained by those women and cannot be free.

In contrast, women from powerful families enjoy the support of the family while being restrained, and the feeling is not so deep.

"The princess and my husband also said that women are weak, and it is difficult to survive without a husband!" Someone stood up and said loudly: "Since this is the case, shouldn't it be natural for women to abide by the boudoir precepts when men are responsible for the safety of their families and the country?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "When did this princess say that women are weak?"

The young man said disdainfully: "Isn't it? Without the help of a man, can a woman be able to open up wasteland and farm land, defend her home and country, manage politics and people, and travel far to do business?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "How do you know you can't? Women can do what men can do, but men may not be able to do what women can do."

"Impossible!" The young man didn't believe it. "Is there anything a woman can do that a man can't?"

Luo Jun shook his eyebrows, smiled sweetly and said, "Have a baby."

"You! You..." Scholars are thin-skinned after all, and they are all young people. How could they have imagined that there would be such a bold and reckless woman?
The young man pointed at Luo Junyao with trembling fingers, and his face was bloodshot like a red lantern.

The students of the Imperial College shook their heads inwardly when they saw the students of Linfeng Academy doing nothing.

Soon someone stood up and bowed respectfully towards the stage: "Wang Hao Mingjian, even though what Wang Hao said is reasonable, men and women are not the same, and they have different skills. Men are more brave and decisive, women are weak and quiet, and each shows their strengths." Long, the only way is the most reasonable. Wouldn’t it be time-consuming and laborious for the princess to reverse the yin and yang, and go against the laws of nature?”

Luo Junyao leaned on the chair with his chin resting and asked, "If I knock you down with one punch, can I be considered a man and you a woman?"

"This..." After the blow hit, the Guozijian student gritted his teeth and said, "Of course not, why should the princess..."

"Excessive words." Luo Junyao said with a smile: "My ears are getting callused. What this young master said is nothing more than the strong respect, right?"

The young man hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, men are born stronger than women, so they are naturally qualified to make rules."

"There's something interesting about this." Luo Junyao said slowly, "It seems that today you are not here to congratulate, but to smash the field? Why don't we have a competition between Anlan Academy and Linfeng Academy Guozijian? If Anlan Academy wins ..."

"It's impossible!" Several voices sounded at the same time, obviously very dissatisfied with Luo Junyao's assumption.

Luo Junyao was not angry, and continued to finish his sentence, "If Anlan Academy wins, please write a letter of congratulations, and everyone... must leave their names."

Everyone looked at the two gentlemen sitting on the stage one after another. The two gentlemen were also a little embarrassed. They obviously didn't expect Luo Junyao to drag the matter in this direction.

But if you don't agree, it doesn't seem very good. If you don't agree, today they dare to walk out of Anlan Academy, and tomorrow they are afraid that the rumor of Anlan Academy students will spread throughout Shangyong, and in a few days, it will spread throughout Dasheng.

But if you agree...

Regardless of success or failure, it seems that they have not achieved their purpose of coming here.

If you win, you won't use force, but if you lose, you will laugh at the world.

"Compare!" Before the two gentlemen could make a decision, some young people couldn't help it.

As soon as one person opened his mouth, others joined in immediately, and for a while, more than half of the people agreed to the competition.

Luo Junyao smiled happily: Young people, indeed, are all youthful and vigorous.
