Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1155 Named Rong Hua
Tomorrow is the day when the envoys from the two countries will leave Beijing and return home. Liang Zechuan and Hua Yuncheng, along with Liang Nanyin and Hua Yunnuo, go to the temple to relax and have fun.

The criminals who captured the princesses of the two countries have been brought to justice and confessed that they were so beautiful that they became obsessed with kidnapping and selling the princesses one by one.

Liang Zechuan and Liang Nanyin knew the truth, but they did not make it public in order to protect Muzhi's reputation.

Although Hua Yuncheng realized that the matter was not as simple as trafficking, he was about to leave and had no way to verify it.

Looking at his sister who was smiling as always, Hua Yuncheng felt complicated and his smile was forced.

Seeing carriages filing out of the city gate one after another, he learned that a girls' school had been opened, and the founder was Lin Jinyan, the person Mobei asked to marry at the empress dowager's birthday banquet.

Not only Hua Yunnuo wanted to join in the fun, the remaining three also wanted to take a look, and they immediately agreed to leave the city.

At that time, which happened to be an auspicious moment, the crown prince, who had the highest status, was invited to unveil the plaque. He rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand to lift the red silk, and the words "Ronghua Hall" written by the emperor himself appeared before his eyes.

Everyone gathered at the door, even the old lady was helped out, smiling happily and clapping and cheering with everyone.

After the prince and others had spoken to several old men and Lin Yanqing, Lin Jinyan was invited out.

Lin Jinyan greeted everyone and stood under the plaque. She said in a gentle and firm voice, thanking the emperor, the royal family and everyone else without any stage fright, and then talked about the school:
"The sage said that reading can make you wise. It is also often said that all things are inferior except reading, which shows the goodness of reading.

It was common for men to study, but it was rare for women from common families to be literate. It was not that they did not want to study, but they could not go to school because of their status as women, and they could not afford to hire a teacher to teach them. When I saw this, I felt lucky that I did not have to worry about money and studying, but I could not bear to see them living in chaos, seeing my father go to the academy to teach every day, so I had the idea of ​​establishing a school for women.

I am just a woman in the boudoir, with no achievements or knowledge. Without the support of Your Majesty, the royal family, and the elders, I would be powerless. I am deeply grateful for this."

As she spoke, Lin Jinyan bowed again to the royal family members, Lin Yanqing and others:
"Rong means magnanimity and tolerance. Hua means brilliance and prosperity. The two words Ronghua not only refer to the beauty of women and the elegant name of lotus, but also have the meaning of praising articles and the prosperity of the world.

The name Ronghua is chosen not only to highlight that this is a girls' school, but also to hope that students will be as pure as lotus and have a tolerant mind.

I am also expressing my gratitude to His Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the royal family for their kindness, and I am looking forward to the prosperity of Tianchu."

After he finished speaking, everyone praised him for a while. Lin Jinyan shyly said that she was not worthy of it, and everyone praised her for a while again.

Lin Jinyan thanked them one by one, and then bowed to express her gratitude to the royal family members present, as well as the friends and elders who had proposed calligraphy to the school.

Everyone present wanted to gain a good reputation and even hoped to catch the eye of the emperor or the royal family, so they proposed to donate money to the school to maintain its operation.

The prince also said: "Everyone knows that the Grand Tutor is honest and frugal. There are very few people in the Lin Mansion, and the salary of the head of the Lin family is not generous. Even if the Lin family has some savings, I think it cannot withstand the annual expenses.

It is rare that all the gentlemen have this intention. Miss Lin may wish to consider it. If you agree, I am willing to take out 10,000 taels of silver from my private property to be used for the expenses of Ronghua Hall."
