The prince does not fight for the heir

A few days later, Fu Xuechen received another letter from Princess Zhiling.

In this letter, Princess Zhiling gave back a new painting, which was still a cat. At the same time, Zhiling also expressed her desire to get another sketch portrait of Fu Xuechen.

How did Fu Xuechen know that the last portrait had already fallen into the hands of Yun Zuo, it was just funny to see the letter, is it so rare to sketch a portrait?Then let's forget about getting a camera for her whenever you are interested!
We all know the principle, that is, photosensitive materials are not easy to get, and it is easy for people in this era to think that the soul is being photographed. It requires a relatively high level of national knowledge and scientific popularization rate to make things like cameras acceptable to the world. It is not as good as sketching. It can be seen that it is a painting skill.

Fu Xuechen's last life has already been enough!Continuous staying up late to study caused her sudden death.

She lived a new life, and it was rare to be born in the Hou family, with no worries about food and clothing. Now she just wants to live in comfort and live a little longer than her previous life. Even if she wants to promote the germination and development of science, she will not have any urgency anymore. A sense of mission or a sense of mission, and then take your own life to sacrifice.

Besides, she is only one person, and she is still a little girl who needs to continue to study in the eyes of her elders. She has no system and no cheats. Even if she is squeezed out of her, how much oil can be squeezed out?
It is better to find a way to establish a girls' school first!With a girls' school, you can get a relatively free learning space, and you can also have many friends of the same age. As long as you can unite them, your strength will increase.

In Zhiling's letter, besides asking for a painting, she also told Fu Xuechen in detail about the recent progress of the construction of the girls' school.

The efficiency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still quite high. This is because the emperor is creating a new learning environment for Princess Zhiling. The two princes are in charge of the construction, and the sixth prince who is the most beloved by the emperor recently supervised the construction. How can the Ministry of Internal Affairs not be active.

In just two days, the terrain was ready, the site was selected, and the construction officially started.

Thanks to the founding of the country not long ago, the central government copied countless remnants of the previous dynasty and confiscated the land and mansions of countless owners. Except for many houses and shops that were divided up and occupied by a group of civil and military soldiers who followed Emperor Yuan'an into the capital, they still Many mansions and gardens that have been sold out have been sealed by the government and have not been dealt with in time.

This gave the Ministry of Internal Affairs a very good opportunity to find four or five suitable locations, pull out the map, and put it on Princess Zhiling's desk for her to choose.

Princess Zhiling naturally remembered Fu Xuechen's suggestion, and she chose one of the gardens as the address of the girls' school, which was only two streets away from the Jingdu Yangjiyuan.

Now the garden has been fenced off, and it is being repaired vigorously. The dead flowers and trees will be replaced, the dry ornamental lake will be refilled with water and koi will be put in, and the original buildings in the forest will also be repaired. The common distribution and pattern of classrooms, expand the space, purchase tables and chairs...

Because there is no need to lay foundations, build brick walls, and build beams and trees. If it is just repairs, the funds needed are not much, and the progress will be very fast. It is estimated that the girls' school will be completed in one month.

Now, according to Zhiling's request, the third prince has found a lot of suitable female teachers for the girls' school, ranging in age from their twenties to their 40s, and even the cook who is in charge of lunch has been found. , just waiting for the official start of school.

Princess Zhiling planned to ask her father to inscribe the name of the girls' school and engrave it outside the gate of the garden, and asked Fu Xuechen what suggestions he had for the girls' school's name.

Fu Xuechen smiled slightly. After reading this part of the letter, the word "Tsinghua Garden" immediately came to her mind, but she didn't want to have the same name, so she thought of the word "Essence Garden". She would use these three words as Refer to Princess Zhiling, as for whether Princess Zhiling adopts it or whether the emperor is interested in naming the girls' school himself, she doesn't care.

At the end of the letter, Princess Zhiling mentioned that after the establishment of the school name, she was going to propose to the Holy Majesty to allow her to increase the number of female guards when she asked the Holy Majesty to inscribe the school name, so that there would be enough manpower to take turns to replace the school. They guard the safety of the girls' school.

As for the patrol outside the school, Emperor Yuan'an has temporarily handed over this job to Yoon Zuo's Qingwei camp.

Originally, according to the plan, it was to wait until the completion of the girls' school before it would start publicizing and recruiting girls, but the rumors seemed to spread slowly, so the queen and imperial concubine expressed interest in this matter, and they all planned to open a flower viewing event in the near future Meetings, tea parties, etc., invite wives from various families to bring girls of the right age into the palace, and find out what everyone thinks.

If it goes well, there may be no need to wait for the girls' school to publicize the enrollment, and the candidates for the students will be preliminarily determined before it is completed. I don't know how many people will be able to recruit by then.

Because the garden is not very big, Zhiling estimates that the full quota of students can only accommodate about 300 students. According to Fu Xuechen's suggestion, if it is temporarily divided into six age groups, there will only be two classes for each class, and each class will have less than 30 students.

However, the number of female teachers has been roughly determined. The six major subjects are calligraphy, arithmetic, painting, temperament, female red, and cooking.

The monthly Lumi remuneration for female gentlemen is divided into two parts, one part is silver taels, ranging from six taels to eight taels, and the other part is a fixed monthly two dendrobium rice, two clothes per season, compared with the teaching of Guozixue Gentlemen, Gentlemen of Enlightenment, the remuneration is about the same, slightly less.

It seems that the grades of the female gentlemen hired by the girls’ school are lower than the private tutors hired by the rich and powerful themselves. In fact, they are still the most famous group of people in Beijing. In the past, the income of private tutors was not enough for them. Unstable, sometimes there is, most of the time not, and the salary is not fixed.

Entering a girls' school is different. As long as they don't make mistakes and the girls' school is not closed, those who sign the contract will be able to work for almost a lifetime. .

The bundle repairs for female students are all the same, 12 taels of silver per month, but much more expensive than the boys of Guozixue, whose annual tuition fee is only [-] taels.

It seems that the cost of training a female student is several times higher than that of a male student, but it cannot be compared this way. Girls who are able to learn things are all rich or expensive. Families without money will not Raise girls.

Even if there is no girls' school, the family will spend at least ten taels of silver per month to hire female gentlemen for them. For example, Fu Xuechen now hires three female gentlemen, because the grades of the husbands are very high, and the monthly grooming is more than 50 taels. If there is a girls' school, the monthly fee for everyone who studies the same course is five times lower than before.

This is actually determined by the size of the school. The tuition fee of Guozixue can be so low because there are too many students in Guozixue!And the number of gentlemen is not much more than that of girls' school gentlemen.

If Guozixue is compared to the public schools of later generations, then the girls' schools are equivalent to private noble schools. Although the number of students is small, the facilities and resources are the best in all aspects!

Because there are a lot of things to say, Princess Zhiling’s letter this time has a lot of words. Fu Xuechen read it for a long time, but the more she read it, the happier she became. It worked!
At the end of the letter, Zhiling said that she would pester the imperial concubine and let the imperial concubine hold the flower viewing party as soon as possible, so that she and Fu Xuechen could meet again and discuss the follow-up matters carefully.

"I'm looking forward to it!" Fu Xuechen smiled happily.

Day by day, the Seventh Doll's Day in early July, the long-awaited flower viewing party is finally here again!
Once again, Mrs. Xie was invited by the palace and brought Fu Xuechen into the palace. Because the post stated that she hoped that the age of girls brought by wives of each family should be only over eight years old and under 14 years old, Fu Rushuang was left at home.

After entering the palace, Fu Xuechen realized that this time was different from last time, this time the flower viewing party was much bigger than last time!It's not just Concubine Xie's invitation.

Many people came here at the invitation of the queen. This was a large gathering jointly organized by the two hostesses in the palace. For this reason, even the imperial garden was requisitioned.

Different from the imperial garden of the Forbidden City that Fu Xuechen knew in his previous life, the garden of the Darong Empire is much bigger than that!The design shows the style of Jiangbei gardens. Tall trees, rockery and other decorations that easily block the view are rare. Lakes, Jiuqu bridges, pavilions, weeping willows, flowers and trees and other scenery with a wide view are often seen.

Because it is mainly the place where the harem concubines play and play, there are many stone tables and benches in the imperial garden, where you can sit anywhere when you are tired from playing and walking. You can even see two or three swings in the corner, which attracts many girls. Have fun in the past.

Coupled with the figures of girls all over the place in groups, at first glance, it looks like a Hanfu show held on the campus of later generations, beautiful dresses, exquisite hair accessories, no matter how old you are. Small, also indescribably seductive.

"So many girls!" Fu Xuechen exclaimed.

Hadn't seen such a scene, I didn't know at all that there were so many dukes and lords in the Darong Empire, as well as many uncles, and civil servants above the third rank, and the daughters of these civil and military officials gathered together, the number There are too many to dazzle.

What's more, because this invitation does not distinguish between concubines and concubines, and is only limited to age, many of the invited wives not only bring their concubine daughters and granddaughters, but even their concubines and granddaughters. Well, it's not one for two, one for three, and even one for four. In contrast, the Xie family only has her, Fu Xuechen, and it's really not very crowded.

Princess Zhiling beside her smiled and said happily: "When our girls' school starts, there will be such excitement every day! And what's even more fun is that no one's elders will be there by then!"

Xia Qinglian on the other side said worriedly: "I didn't expect there to be so many people. I feel like there are more than three hundred people, right? Can a girls' school recruit them?"

She and Cui Xiaoyue, who were accompanying the princess, also came to this event.

Hearing Xia Qinglian's worries, Cui Xiaoyue, who has always been very assertive, twitched her mouth and said, "There's nothing to worry about. If you can't finish recruiting, just recruit less! Priority is given to recruiting heirs. Willing to enter a girls' school!"

Those who come from a scholarly family tend to care more about the difference between concubines and concubines. In fact, before Da Rong established the country, the society did not have such a clear view on the difference between concubines and concubines between women. After all, women cannot be nobles. It is from the wife, but most of them are just better-known, and the dowry may be more.

In fact, the status of a girl in her natal family depends more on her father than on her mother. If a girl is loved by her father, even if she is a concubine, she can bring more practical help to her husband's family than a daughter-in-law. If her father doesn't love her , It's useless to go out.

Fu Xuechen didn't pay much attention to the difference between concubine and concubines, and said: "Rather than distinguishing concubine and concubine, it is better to divide moral character. Today we might as well pay more attention and try our best to identify if there are any of them who are not well-bred, have a bad temper, and behave frivolously. Write it down secretly, and exclude them when recruiting students, so as not to spoil the ethos of the girls' school."

When Xia Qinglian heard it, she immediately raised her hands in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes! That's great! Sister Xuechen's idea!"

"That's right! Let's do it like this!" Princess Zhiling also agreed, and immediately recruited the maid who was close to her, and passed Fu Xuechen's suggestion into an order like this.

But what made Fu Xuechen speechless was that Princess Zhiling added another sentence at the end: "Remember those who are too ugly!"

The princess is so beautiful!Is it too judging by appearance?Fu Xuechen was constantly slandering, good-looking may not necessarily be kind, ugly-looking may also be kind and talented, how can we treat them differently?
However, she is a princess, she wants to do this, what can others do?Salad!

Cui Xiaoyue resolutely complained: "Your Highness, it is inappropriate for you to judge people by their appearance! Have you never heard of the allusions about judging people by their words, losing Zaiyu, judging people by their appearance, and losing Ziyu? You will miss out on talents!"

Princess Zhiling sneered in embarrassment but did not change her mind: "I, I dare not be stronger than Kong Sheng."

"Pfft!" Fu Xuechen was amused by Princess Zhiling. Even Confucius made the mistake of judging people by their appearance. Sima Qian recorded this allusion as a warning to the world, but Princess Zhiling insisted that she did not dare to be better than Confucius to defend her greatness of judging people by their appearance The shortcoming is to be a face control with confidence.

Seeing that even Xia Qinglian was having fun, Cui Xiaoyue was speechless and squinted her eyes: "Your Highness! If Sister Xuechen is a villain with a sweet heart and a sword, wouldn't you be betrayed by her and volunteer to help her count the money!"

Princess Zhiling grabbed Fu Xuechen's arm and said with a triumphant smile, "But sister Xuechen is a good person!"

Fu Xuechen nodded her: "Just because I'm a good person doesn't mean that other good-looking people are also good people!"

Princess Zhiling walked around in a circle, spread her hands and said: "The truth is, I can't find any other beauties who can compare with my sister. With other people's looks, I can't bewitch me!" She felt that she was also quite beautiful, and many people Not even her.

Xia Qinglian expressed her admiration: "Sister Xuechen is really good-looking! She looks better than everyone else!"

Fu Xuechen pursed her lips. When she first transmigrated, she was also stunned by the beauty of this beautiful face in the mirror, but the girl in her teens was at the time when the collagen on her face was the most abundant, and her skin was almost baby-like. Isn't it supposed to be tender and beautiful?It's just that the figure is still thin and weak, and she is still a child, so she has no femininity at all.

Just as Cui Xiaoyue was about to say something, several new girls walked to the Imperial Garden together after their elders paid respects to the queen and concubine, and walked towards this side.

The first girl in a water-green tulle skirt saw Fu Xuechen from afar, raised her hand excitedly, and ran over with her skirt in surprise, calling out as she ran, "Xuechen! Little Chenchen! So you are here!" here?"
