Chapter 418 Four Private Schools
Just when she was puzzled, there was another commotion on the other side of Suzaku Avenue. A group of young ladies wearing vermilion robes and hibiscus flowers embroidered on the neckline, led by a woman in her forties, came quickly.

"Another private school? This is Suzaku Girls' School, right?"

"What day is it today? Why are all the girls' private schools here?"

"Who said, no, there are still two who haven't come."

Wen Shu looked at the teachers and students of "Suzaku Girls' School" passing by. They walked in a hurry, as if they came from somewhere.

Seeing another group of young ladies came, the officials maintaining order at the scene were stunned, and asked the same question as the common people, what day is today?
There are four private schools for girls in Beijing, namely "Jingzhen Private School" in the north of the city, "Suzaku Girls' School" in the south of the city, "Yanghu School" in the west of the city, and "Taoran Girls' School" in the east of the city.

Among them, "Suzaku Women's School" and "Taoran Women's School" both have "backgrounds".

"Suzaku Girls' School" was founded by Princess Dachang of the Kai Dynasty, and it was the earliest private school for girls in this dynasty. "Taoran Girls' School" was founded by Empress Liu of the Zhenzong Dynasty and Mrs. Yan, the wife of the State of Lu.

Among the four girls' private schools, the earliest school was Suzaku Girls' School, but the most famous one today is "Jingzhen Private School".

It's not that Li Jingzhen's reputation and talents surpass those of the other private schools' masters, but that she is a maverick, and her school-running philosophy is also unique among the four private schools, and it is quite controversial.

However, there are controversies, and there are still many people who go there admiringly.

Now that "Jingzhen Private School" and "Suzaku Girls' School" have come, what about the other two schools?
"Master Li."

"Master Wu."

When the official was puzzled, the two masters from the private school had already met each other and were exchanging greetings.

"Master Wu is here this time?"

"Hint, who is Mr. Li?"

"Preach."

Master Wu was startled, and thought: You still know what to say, if I hadn't heard the news long ago, I would have believed your nonsense.

"Then Master Li has finished preaching?"

"It's over."

"That being the case, let's begin."

"Please."

The two of them didn't have much personal relationship, so after saying a few words, Mrs. Wu from Suzaku Women's School led the students to make a gesture.

Unlike Li Jingzhen who let the students move freely and choose their desks independently, Master Wu of Suzaku Women's School is very concerned about the formation. The students have to stand one by one according to the formation she has lined up before signaling, and then go forward to signal.

Li Jingzhen next to her shook her head amusedly, while Wen Shu in the crowd opened her eyes curiously.

At this time, on the tower of Xuande Gate, the official Zhao Duan was asking the left and right: "The person in the red robe is from Suzaku Girls School, right?"

Back and forth: "Yes."

"Who's in the lead?"

"It's the second wife of Hussar General Wu Xian who came home."

"Even she came out, it seems that there is a lot of excitement today." After finishing speaking, he looked at the ministers mockingly, "Guess, will the other two girls' schools come?"

The ministers all laughed and said nothing.

Hussar General Wu Xian's second wife who returned home was notoriously strange in the capital.

I don't like to go out, I don't like to make friends, and I don't want to marry when I reach the marriageable age. I'm 30 years old and I'm still in my boudoir.General Hussars simply let her go after persuading him to no avail because he only had this one woman.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being talked about at home, Mao recommended himself to become a teacher at Suzaku Girls' School five years ago.

The principal of Suzaku Women's School and Mrs. Wu's mother are close friends in the boudoir, knowing that she is just dull-tempered, and her talent is not inferior to others, so she is accepted into a private school.

Unexpectedly, after Mr. Wu entered the private school, he seldom went out.Except for going home to visit his parents once a month, he stayed in the private school all day and didn't go anywhere.

Therefore, she got the title of "Strange Lady".

Standing behind Zhao Duan, Dou Shangshu looked at the "two-color" phalanx below, glanced at Qin Pei who was calm and calm beside him from the corner of his eye, and thought: Could it be his handwriting?

After thinking about it, he couldn't help shaking his head. Although the four major girls' schools were all founded by women, they also had the aloofness and aloofness of scholars. Qin Pei's reputation among the people was notorious, so he shouldn't be able to invite them.

Taking a ten thousand step back, it was really his handwriting, so he wouldn't have heard nothing about it.

Forget it, let's have a look first.

"Hey, it's here, it's here, it's really here." There was a sudden shout from Yujie.

After shouting, I saw a "pink and white" auspicious cloud floating over the front of the imperial street, and after a closer look, I found that it was the "Taoran Girls' School" in the west of the city.

"Taoran Women's School" is located in Taoyuan in the east of the city. The original site was the private residence of a princess in the former dynasty. After the founding of the Song Dynasty, this place was originally an academy. It was not until the time of Zhenzong that the Queen approved it and gave it to Mrs. Lu at that time. Founded a girls' school.

Because the garden is full of peach blossoms, it is named "Taoran Women's School."

"The little lady in this private school looks like peach blossoms blowing in the wind when she walks around. She looks really pleasing to the eye."

The school-running philosophy of "Taoran Women's School" is not only to be proficient in literature and ink, poetry and books, but also to have a regular demeanor, and every word and deed should give people a sense of dignity and gracefulness.

Because they pay more attention to "appearance", the admission criteria, in addition to being smart, also require a soft figure and a beautiful appearance.

Because of the school-running philosophy of "emphasizing both inside and outside", the little ladies trained by Taoran Girls are the first choice for the officials and eunuchs in the capital to choose a spouse and marry.

When Lu Xingwan first returned to Beijing, the Lu family originally wanted her to enter the "Taoran Women's School", so that it would be easier to choose a husband in Beijing in the future.Later, because of her delicate body and frail body, the private school was still some distance away from home, and she couldn't help the bumps on the road, so she gave up the idea.

Therefore, as soon as the students of "Taoran Women's School" appeared on the stage, their neat and dignified demeanor and outstanding appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Even Zhao Duan, the official on the tower, glanced twice.

Although the distance is a bit far, he may not see it.

The students of "Taoran Women's School" moved lightly into the fence with lotus steps, and after greeting each other with the students of the other two private schools, they also began to gesture.

At this time, Dou Shangshu's brows were slightly frowned.

He had inquired about it, and [-]% of the support for "Wen Tai's return home" were women, which means that most of the women supported the release of Qin Pei.

Now that the three private schools for girls are coming together, you can guess how they will choose without looking.

Although it is indicated that their side still has the upper hand, [-]% higher than the other side, but if this continues, it is difficult to guarantee that the battle will not be reversed.

Although the three major private schools don't have many people, at most there are about [-] people, less than half of the total indicated number, and they won't cause much harm, but they have a great influence on women.
And with their three private schools coming, presumably the "Yanghu School" in the west of the city will not lag behind.

Sure enough, just a moment after he thought about it, the students of "Yanghu Shushu" in purple gray robes also came.

The gathering of the four major girls' private schools in the capital is a scene that is rarely seen by ordinary people, so the people on the imperial street are all excited, and the students of the Taixue who are responsible for helping to signal are also in a wonderful mood.

After all the students from the four major private schools expressed their wishes, the leaders of each family stood together and began to greet each other.
