Chapter 229: Students Disguised as Men

Good news from the front line comes from time to time.

Both internally and externally, all affairs are basically on the right track.

Rong Lingkuan has been in the Imperial College for nearly half a year, and he can hardly bear it anymore. Strictly speaking, he is still a student himself. How can he manage such a group of students?

Everything else was fine, except that he accidentally discovered the secret of one of the students.

It’s not a big secret, she just dressed up as a man to go to school.

The first time was when he saw a student wearing women's clothes again on the street. He didn't react at all, but she hid away like a mouse seeing a cat.

He couldn't help but pay attention, and thought she was his student's sister, so he didn't take it seriously.

The second time, the fruits on the farm were ripe, so he took several nephews and nieces to play on the farm.

When he woke up in the morning, there was another person on his bed.

A man's hairstyle, a small dark face, and a crooked fake Adam's apple on his neck.

He then realized that the student was disguised as a man and came to study without telling her family.

He appeared at the manor because he and his classmates went out for fun and got lost. They found the manor and paid for the accommodation.

I showed up in his room because I was drunk and went into the wrong room.

After this misunderstanding, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened.

Even if it was after class in the Imperial College, if we met him, we would pretend not to see him.

Rong Lingkuan thought the matter was over.

As a result, there are one and two, and then there are three.

In the third chapter, it was raining heavily. When he passed by a gambling house, he was knocked to the ground by students who rushed out from inside.

The flood control strategy that Rong Lingkuan had spent a lot of effort to write, the results of countless nights of work were instantly washed away in the rain.

Before he could even get angry, two or three big men rushed out of the gambling house and started to hit her with sticks in their hands without saying a word.

As a teacher, it is impossible to sit idly by, even if it is only temporary.

After asking her the reason, I found out that she was cheating in gambling.

Rong Lingkuan looked at the ground where all his hard work had gone to waste, and then glanced at the students shivering in the rain.

He went up to negotiate, "This is the money for the broken tables and chairs, and the wine money for the guys."

One of them was about to say that it was not that easy, but was stopped by the manager nearby.

"Since this is your first offense, I will let it go today. I won't charge you any money. You can take the man away."

The thugs didn't understand why the stingy manager was so easy to talk to today.

After the people left, he had no choice but to step forward and ask, "Brother Zhang, why are you so easy to talk to today?"

Brother Zhang then glanced at a piece of paper floating under the eaves. It was still half wet and had the signature of Rong Lingkuan on it.

Brother Zhang only had one question, "What is the Empress' maiden name?"

The thug followed Brother Zhang's gaze and saw the name.

The Queen's maiden name is Rong.

The two thugs suddenly realized.

The city of Yanjing is neither big nor small. If a brick falls, it can hit several officials.

In such a place, the chances of making a fortune are greater, but also the chances of offending people.

If Brother Zhang had not been alert, who would have known that this young man who didn't even take a carriage on a rainy day and looked like a weak scholar was related to the Empress.

Rong Lingkuan brought the man back to the mansion.

The official curiously glanced at the guests brought back by his master.

This guy is so strange, why is there black liquid on his face? "Uncle Wang, go to the clothing store and buy some clothes according to Xiao Liuzi's body shape."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Rong Lingkuan took out a handkerchief and gave it to her. "Yan Jinyu, can you tell me now why you went to the gambling house?"

Yan Jinyu looked at the handkerchief and realized that the black skin on the back of her hand had been washed black and white by the rain.

The hands are already in this state, not to mention the face.

She took the handkerchief and wiped it across her face, and sure enough, the white handkerchief turned black.

She looked at the teacher's face, and after a long pause, she said, "I have no money... I left secretly, and my family knew about it. My brother always sends me money and things at the beginning of every month."

"I haven't received a letter from my brother for two months. When I went to check, I found out that my father had confiscated all of his private property. He has no money to support me now."

"I know my father wants to force me to go back, but I don't want to go back. I just want to prove that I am no worse than my brother!"

Rong Lingkuan didn't look at her. "You have to study in the Imperial College for at least six years. Have you ever thought about what you will do after six years?"

"Become an official or a politician? You can't do either. Why are you fighting against your parents and wasting your time here?"

Yan Jinyu didn't think about the future. She just got angry for a moment, so she left the letter and left home overnight.

Originally, she went to the Lianzhou Provincial School, and it happened that the Provincial School issued the recruitment information of the Imperial College, and Lianzhou only had two vacancies.

With the mentality of giving it a try, she was finally selected.

This was like a shot of adrenaline, so she packed her bags and went straight to Yanjing without consulting anyone.

After all, paper cannot cover fire. Her parents made a special trip to the provincial school to see her, but they came back empty-handed.

Only then did I realize that she had been in Yanjing for more than three months.

Her elder brother was scolded severely, and not only his expenses were cut off, but her expenses were also cut off, just to force her to go back and get married.

These are all her own private matters, so she naturally cannot tell her husband.

"Why can't we do it? Isn't it the Empress who attends court every day?"

"Your Majesty is a role model for us women. How can there not be a place for women in the court in the future?!"

Rong Lingkuan was speechless. His Majesty was fighting outside, and it was indeed his sister who was ruling the country from behind the scenes.

But if His Majesty did not go out, how could his sister enter the court?

At the beginning of the new dynasty, among the civil and military officials in the court, who can Your Majesty trust?
My sister is very outstanding, not inferior to any man, but this is indeed a last resort.

"A woman serving as an official? This is unheard of. Who among the civil and military officials in the court would agree to this?"

Yan Jinyu was not convinced, "Unheard of? It's also unheard of for the Queen to be the regent. Isn't it pretty good now?"

"Isn't the selection of officials the selection of the virtuous and capable?!"

"Are there no virtuous women among us?!"

"There are 130 students in Lianzhou Prefecture School, and there are only two places for admission to the Imperial College. Didn't I leave them behind and come to Yanjing?!"

Rong Lingkuan definitely did not look down on women, but he knew that there were too many restrictions on women in this world.

If not for this, when she was in Qianqi, her sister would not have been able to use the pseudonym Pei Lan to join the army.

It is clearly an achievement that can be written into history books, but it can only be attributed to a fictitious name of a person who does not exist.

I dare not admit it, and I cannot admit it.

Because it takes three years for a woman to join the army.

The saliva alone was enough to drown his sister.

Not to mention him, even his brother-in-law who was the deputy commander at the time was powerless.
