Chapter 197

After taking care of the housework, Yue Wangshu was finally free to do marketing for the girls' school.

In fact, rumors about the establishment of a women's school had been released early in the morning, and it was supervised by Huangzhuang and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it was difficult not to attract attention.

On this day, at the end of summer, relatives from various clans came to the palace to meet.

Yuanzhi Palace was crowded with concubines or clan relatives, and it was full of excitement.

After exchanging pleasantries, Concubine Xiang, who Yue Wangshu had already arranged to support her, said, "I heard that the Empress wants to run a women's school?"

As soon as the words came out, the hall was immediately silent, all the concubines, princesses and wives of the Dukes and Counties present looked at the dignified Queen Yue Shi on the Phoenix Seat.

Yue Wangshu's emerald-green luan and phoenix steps swayed like pearls, she said without hesitation: "There is indeed such a thing."

For a while the clansmen present couldn’t help being a little surprised. Although there had been such rumors and rumors that only female teachers were used to teach and eunuchs and maids served in the women’s school, it still seemed unbelievable to them, so they didn’t dare Believe it very much.

Concubine Rong was also an insider, so she smiled and said: "It's very good, why is your empress running a girls' school?"

Yue Wangshu smiled and said, "It's nothing else. It's just a pity that many girls from other families are illiterate like that blind man. That's why I came up with the idea of ​​setting up a girls' school."

Although Princess Ding didn't think so, she still said hastily: "It's a good thing for the Empress to be kind and loving."

The queen is also a favorite queen who has always won the sacred heart. Even if the clan members disagree, they will never raise it in person.

Yue Wangshu smiled: "I also know that like the royal family and those girls from princely families, there is no shortage of teachers. Therefore, this female school, I only plan to recruit some middle- and lower-level students who are not well-off. The little girls who are waiting for others are not just taught to read and write, but more importantly, to learn etiquette and female virtues."

The clan members were stunned for a moment, they were worried that the empress would force their daughters to study at the Raoshi Children's School!

The co-author Empress actually ruled them out from the very beginning? !

Immediately, I couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

People, it is easier to be cheap.

No one will cherish something that is given for nothing.

But once you can't buy it with money, it will make people scratch their heads.

Concubine Xiang smiled and said: "In other schools, the best is always selected from the best. Why doesn't the empress choose the best, but only the lower ones?"

Yue Wangshu straightened his temples: "Aren't you families lacking etiquette mothers or female red masters? There's no need to argue with those ordinary girls. Besides, women's schools are not like boys' schools. Be cautious, naturally you won’t be able to accept too many students.”

Concubine Rong nodded her head and said: "So that's the case. It's the empress who is kind and considerate."

Come on, this set of scenes is over.

In the future, each family will release the news in person, and if the major families know about it, naturally the middle-level families below will also know about it soon.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the source of students.

Yue Wangshu looked at Yao Manzhi, who had always been as quiet as a wallflower: "Princess Kui is the first head of Yuxiang Girls' School, so you should be very careful about the selection of female students."

Everyone's eyes turned to the young princess of the near branch.

Yao Manzhi got up slowly, bowed her knees and said, "Yes, I should do my best."

The queen builds a women's school, and the princess becomes the head of the mountain!

This Yuxiang Academy's compulsion has already been raised high enough!
However, Yue Wangshu was still unavoidably worried. Can such a new thing as a girls' school be accepted?If there are not enough places to be recruited... that's okay, anyway, the exact number of places to be recruited has not been announced to the public, only that the number of places is not many.Even if you only accept a dozen or so, it can be said to be full.

Well, don't be nervous, you can't lose the frame.

Yue Wangshu gracefully looked around at everyone present, but saw that the expressions of the clan members present were different, some were frowning, some were ready to move, and some were quite conflicted.

Concubine Xiang saw it, and smiled and said: "The concubine's heart is moved, I really want to ask for a place for my girl."

But Yue Wangshu said just now that he would not choose a girl from an aristocratic family, so he smiled and said: "It's not that I am unreasonable, this is only the first year, why not wait for next year."——Since the rules are set, this year is not allowed drop.

"The concubine will remember it, and the empress will not regret it when the time comes!" Concubine Xiang immediately hit the snake with the stick.

Yue Wangshu secretly smiled, just asking you to laugh, there is no need to be so serious...

Yao Manzhi, head of the female school, also smiled and said: "Then next year, the Empress will have to reserve two places for my concubine, and my mother's family has several little nieces."

"Okay!" Yue Wangshu nodded happily, and you are also quite good at flattering him.

The always indifferent Lan Guifei, Shen Shi, suddenly said: "Empress, the Shen family is just an ordinary scholar's family, not a wealthy family. The younger girls of our Shen family should not be rejected from the mountain gate, right?"

Yue Wangshu was slightly taken aback, she didn't communicate with Concubine Lan Gui in advance...

So he had to say: "Whether to be admitted or not, it should be selected by Princess Cui."

"Concubine understands." Concubine Lan Gui pursed her lips and smiled slightly, quite confidently.

Concubine Fang Gui who was next to Concubine Lan Gui couldn't help but also wanted to have fun, but she also thought that her nieces were really inferior to girls from a scholarly family. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing if they were not admitted by then?He closed his mouth.

This late summer, inside and outside Gyeonggi, is in full swing.

In particular, the gate of Princess Chu was about to be trampled down!

Yao Manzhi, the initiator, never expected such a grand occasion. Not to mention Gyeonggi, even the entire Zhili Province, and even middle-level families from neighboring provinces also came to sign up.Even this earl's mansion and that servant man's mansion claim to be middle-class families, and they can't hire decent ceremonial mothers and so on...

Yao Manzhi felt pain and joy.

There were more than a thousand applicants, and after repeated screening, 200 people were finally selected.

Yue Wangshu expects that there will be only a few dozen people and one or two classes.

Fortunately, the dormitory was purposely built more, so Yao Manzhi dared to recruit so many female students.

They are all young girls who are only seven or eight years old, and their family background is neither high nor low. Although they don't need to work hard, they rarely have the opportunity to study.These people, who entered the women's school, are the group of people who have the best chance to change their destiny.

The textbooks were prepared early in the morning, and they had to read the dross books, the four books, the female red etiquette, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even arithmetic, fragrance, tea cooking, cooking... There are more than a dozen kinds of them. course!

In short, schoolwork is very hard, and it will not be easier than boys' studies.

Hope they can stick to it.

Yue Wangshu prayed silently, then put down the food booklet in his hand, "If we hire a few more cooks, the food expenses can be increased."

At least let them eat a little better.

Yao Manzhi couldn't help but whispered: "Then I will lose money..."

Yue Wangshu said with a smile: "You still expect to make money?" - Losing money is certain.

Yao Manzhi's face flushed slightly, "I just hope that I can make ends meet..." After all, the tuition fee is not high, and middle-level families can easily pay it.

Yue Wangshu comforted him with a smile: "It's okay, the proceeds from the Rose Ridge Huangzhuang will be assigned to the female students, and these rents will be used to make up for it."

Yao Manzhi calculated silently, then smiled relieved, enough is enough.

The first girls' school in Dayan Dynasty officially opened in the autumn of this year.
