Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 924 What a double standard!
The queen acted quickly. The next day, He Jiuniang was notified that He Jiuniang had entered the palace, and the two had a good discussion about opening a school.

Seeing the joy on the queen's face, she knew that the emperor supported this behavior, and He Jiuniang's heart dropped into her stomach.

After all, in this era where the imperial power is overwhelming, if the emperor does not agree, there is really no way to implement it.

"Don't worry, Madam. I just want to use your name. I will arrange other things."

From the beginning, He Jiuniang just wanted to take advantage of the situation and did not really need the queen to do anything.

The queen said: "This is inappropriate. Since this is what I promised to do, I will naturally have to contribute. Jiu Niang, you are right. It is very difficult for women in this era. We are now standing in this situation My position means that I should find a way out for the women in this world, so that I can’t live up to the emperor’s love for me.”

After speaking, she blushed and lowered her head.

He Jiuniang felt that the ancients were really reserved. Even though she was pregnant with three children, she was still so shy.

"Since your Majesty has said so, then it is up to your Majesty to make the decision."

In front of the queen, He Jiuniang was still very well-behaved. After all, she was a pregnant woman, so she could not be irritated by any extreme behavior.

The queen expressed her willingness to fully fund the school, but He Jiuniang disagreed. After all, she proposed this herself, how could she take advantage of it without spending a penny?

Moreover, the original intention of setting up the school was to cultivate talents for herself, so she couldn't afford to lose everything.

So, after discussion, the two decided to each contribute half, and then He Jiuniang would arrange the specific matters, and then they reached an agreement.

He Jiuniang was very active. After leaving the palace, she arranged for people to find a place to build a school. Furthermore, she had to spread the news about letting girls study so that all families with daughters could know in advance and be mentally prepared.

The news was quite explosive when it was released, and it exploded in the capital instantly.

Since ancient times, there have only been schools for men. How can there be any reason for women to study?
Who has money to educate girls?If you have that spare money, why not educate your son well?
But I heard that you don't have to pay the repair fee, but you need to sign a contract. After completing the course, you must help the Lu family and cannot defect to others, otherwise you will have to pay a large sum of money.

But those who have surrendered to Shu Xiu are not subject to this control, and they are free to go wherever they want from now on.

Ordinary families are eyeing free schooling, which is a great thing. As for helping the Lu family in the future, it is even more desirable. There is monthly money for doing things. This is something that I couldn't even think about before. Now, Just delivering it to your door, isn't this pie in the sky?
Rich people, however, are eyeing the idea of ​​handing over a maid to study, especially some high-ranking families. They feel that it is also very good to let their trusted maids go to school and read, at least it can help the mistress.

There are also some businessmen who want to send their own people in so that they can see what the people of the Lu family have learned and have the opportunity to compete with the Lu family in the future.

The market acceptance is very high, but the court is really full of chaos. Since the news was released, people have been quarreling in the court for many days.

Especially when the Queen took the lead in this matter. The Censor was so talkative that the Emperor didn't even blink an eye.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been a virtue for children not to have talents. There is no reason for women to study. It is absolutely forbidden!"

"How can a woman study properly? This is so unreasonable!" "A woman's duty is to take care of her husband and raise her children. There is no need to show her face outside. What's the use of learning this? It's simply embarrassing!"

"You must not do this, otherwise everything will be in chaos. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

……

Although everyone did not directly point out the mistakes of the Queen and He Jiuniang, they were all targeting them. They believed that the Emperor was too outrageous and allowed the two women to fool around.

However, the emperor firmly supported the queen and felt that the queen was not wrong in doing this. He even thought that this kind of behavior was rare and that she was doing good things for the people.

The emperor's ministers have always been on the side of the queen, believing that it is a good thing to give women another way out, and there is nothing to stop her.

Mr. Kang fought with people in the court hall for several mornings, and the fight was so fierce.

"Letting women study and learn etiquette can also promote the progress of our Beiyan! When I got acquainted with General Lu's family, the Lu family had just fled from Changzhou in the south and didn't have much money on them, but Mrs. Lu was the first to I found my school and signed up all three children of the appropriate age at home to study."

"This is Mrs. Lu's foresight. There is nothing to suffer in the education of the children! The three boys in the family study in my school. When they go home at night, they have to teach the knowledge they learned in the school to their family members who cannot come to school. , especially the girls in the family, so although the girls in the Lu family have never read, they can all write and do calculations, no worse than any boys!"

"Mrs. Lu's foresight is naturally because Mrs. Lu is also educated and can even help the children at home with their homework. Only in this way can we cultivate outstanding children."

"Furthermore! Let me ask you sirs, why do you require your own daughters to be educated and sensible, while the daughters of ordinary people's families can only be illiterate!"

Lu Baichuan had originally prepared a lot of things to say, but he didn't expect that Mr. Kang could fight so many people in a group on his own!
I used to think that Mr. Kang was gentle and soft-spoken. Why was he so fierce in court?
Faced with Mr. Kang's shrewish excuse, the officials across the street broke out in cold sweats, not knowing how to refute.

Especially the last sentence he said made the courtiers present not sure how to answer.

Every noble girl must receive education from an early age. Only those who are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting will be praised. When they grow up, they can also find a high-ranking family.

So why can’t ordinary women have that opportunity?

Isn't this a double standard!

Everyone was silent, and Lu Baichuan finally had a chance to speak.

He stood up and said, "I also think what Master Kang said is very true! They say that marrying a virtuous wife is a good idea, but if a woman doesn't study, how can she know what is virtuous and what is virtue? How can she help her husband and teach her children?"

"Men support the family outside, and women take care of the family in the back house. But if you don't read, read, and understand, how can you manage a family well? Moreover, we are all human beings. Men can support the family, and so can women. For example, in my home, all the property belongs to me. My wife took care of it all by myself, and the outstanding children in the family are all because of my wife’s good education!”

"If I don't have my wife to take care of everything at home, how can I safely serve the emperor and the country when I'm away? Women are never worse than men, and are even greater than men. Therefore, I support the establishment of a women's college to give more women in this world A way out!”
