First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 365 Women's Studies
"Many ladies here should remember that when Hui Jun was still alive, he proposed to build a girls' school in the county, so that girls would have the opportunity to read and write like boys. For this reason, we have seriously planned a good For a while... It's just that the conditions were not mature at that time, and it wasn't long before Huijun became pregnant again, so the matter was shelved..."

Mrs. He sighed softly, and said with a wistful smile, "Today I bring up the old story again, one thing is that I have saved some money in the past two years - although it may not be much, but it can still contribute to the establishment of a women's school." A little effort, and besides... Everyone knows that the truth of Huijun's murder has come to light in the past few days. Jingsi was imprisoned for revenge for the master. Spontaneously petitioned for Jingsi. I thought, whether it is to open a Yizhuang or build a women's school, it is a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtues for the benefit of future generations. Although Huijun is no longer here, the blessings she left behind have benefited Ze Jingsi escaped from prison, so that justice can be upheld." Madam He said, not forgetting to respect Du Rongzhi, "Of course, this is also because Mr. Song is sympathetic to public opinion and extrajudicial."

Du Rongzhi smiled sweetly.

Mrs. He nodded, and said seriously, "So today, I want to take advantage of this opportunity for everyone to work together to petition for Jingsi girl, and join forces with all of you to fulfill Hui Jun's long-cherished wish for many years, so as to comfort her spirit in heaven... so, Not only will it benefit the common people, but it will also benefit future generations, and it will not be in vain for the friendship we have had with her for many years."

As soon as she said this, everyone reacted differently, some responded positively, and some were hesitant.

One of them said, "It's good that Xingnv learns well, but sister Liu, has she ever thought about where to recruit this student? A passable family like ours has already invited a gentleman to come to the house to teach the daughters. But Those girls from poor families, I heard that they are already able to help the family at the age of six or seven—carrying water, chopping firewood, washing, cooking, and taking care of younger siblings. She goes to school? As for the older ones, either they have already worked outside to supplement their income, or they have made a marriage early and just waited to get married... It is not easy to run a girls' school."

"That's not true." Mrs. Wang also hurriedly said, "If I'm not afraid of the jokes of the sisters, I can't read a few big characters... But it didn't delay anything, right? A woman is a woman without talent, she is a virtue... If the family has spare money, it is understandable to ask the girls to read and read a few words. If there is no money, there is really no need to waste time on it. If you ask me, instead of throwing all this money into Hei Guying, why not It’s better to donate more sesame oil money in the temple.”

Everyone smiled lightly after hearing this, but no one answered.

Although everyone has different opinions on whether to build a women's school in the county, the benefits of reading are obvious-at least you won't talk nonsense regardless of the occasion, right?

Mrs. Dong thought more thoughtfully, "How to enroll students is a matter for later... I just talk about how to choose the location of the school and what kind of teachers to invite, these are also problems." I'm afraid we won't be able to find a suitable place to build a school building for us for a while. And those masters, most of the scholars are very arrogant, and I'm afraid they don't even bother to teach a group of little girls..."

Someone echoed, "Also, if there is an older girl among the students, it doesn't seem so good..."

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips, "What if I invite a female wife?"

Everyone was a little stunned.

Mrs. He smiled and explained, "Mrs. Song doesn't know something... Our place is no different from Gyeonggi, where women are generally less educated. Even if there are those who can read and write, they are all wives from rich families. How can the family let them out to be some kind of teachers..." Mrs. He paused, "You don't have to worry about the candidates for this teacher. If it's really not possible, we will pay more generously when the time comes... I think there will always be some informality At that time, an open-minded and open-minded gentleman is willing to come to teach."

Mrs. Wang curled her lips disapprovingly.Shu Xiu's output is richer... To put it lightly.Where did this bundle of repair money come from?Don't you have to worry about them? !
Mrs. Dong nodded and said, "So, I think this is feasible." She thought for a while, "It's just that the place to build a school building can't be found overnight. I'll talk to my master later, let He also helps to keep an eye on it."

Du Rongzhi also smiled and nodded, "I also think Mrs. He's proposal is very good... Leaving aside the other things, if you can read and write, at least you won't be deceived by bad people when you look at documents and certificates in the future, right?"

The county magistrate's wife, who hadn't said much, couldn't help agreeing with a smile, "What Mrs. Song said is... Mrs. He, don't forget to count me in."

Seeing that Mrs. Magistrate and Mrs. Cheng have already spoken, those who were on the sidelines before, or those who were unwilling like Mrs. Wang, quickly expressed their willingness to contribute to the construction of the girls' school.

Du Rongzhi couldn't help but praise everyone's virtuousness and integrity again, and even praised Mrs. Wang who was still a little bit unwilling, so that her face was rosy and she was very happy.

Seeing that everyone finally reached a consensus on the establishment of a women's school, Du Rongzhi thought about it, and then seriously suggested, "Please teach them something at that time——I think it should be practical. Let’s avoid things like “Precept” for now…” Du Rongzhi pondered for a moment, then continued, “Just now Mrs. Zheng said that she was afraid that their parents would not let them go to school... This phenomenon is indeed possible. Happened. I have an idea here, but I don’t know if it will work..."

Seeing that Du Rongzhi was willing to make suggestions, Mrs. He welcomed her, and hurriedly asked, "What can Mrs. Song do?"

Du Rongzhi smiled embarrassingly, "It's not a good idea... It's just that recently I've been planning to open a balm shop and sell the balm prepared by my cousin... When the shop opens, I plan to hire some girls Come to be a buddy - first, let them try these balms for themselves, and demonstrate the effect to the ladies who come to buy; second, after all, it is the smoothest communication between women and women."

Madam Dong couldn't help covering her lips and laughing, "Madam Song, why do you need others to demonstrate! Your own height is the best sign. Look at this skin, it is so tender that you can squeeze water... The women of other people don't know, wait This shop is open, and the women must visit it often."
