The concubine named the women's school Ming Xue, Zhou Man raised his head to look at the plaque when he got out of the car, and praised: "This word is excellent."
"It was written by Kong Jijiu," Ming Da said, "Actually, the word Ming was also suggested by Kong Jijiu."
Zhou Man enviously said: "That's great, the plaque in our Imperial Medical Office was written by His Majesty."
Ming Da pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Kong Jijiu's calligraphy is indeed better than Father's."
"The words are good, and the implication is good," Zhou Man said, "Ming, according to the light, shines in all directions to make the day bright. "Book of Rites" also said that the way of university lies in Ming Mingde. It is extremely bright, and the light is covered with four appearances, which means that Mingming is in the world. Confucius Jijiu gave this word to female students, and it seems that he has great expectations."
Mingda nodded proudly.
If the aristocratic family is the wind direction of the world's scholars, then Kong Jijiu is the gleam of light in the wind direction. To get his name, Mingda feels that no matter what the future of the female school will be, her efforts will not be wasted.
"Let's go in and have a look."
The gate opened, Bai Jingxing and Bai Ruoyu ran in first, the adults followed behind, the entrance was divided into several winding roads, and the flowers and trees were flourishing inside, because it was the time when the flowers bloomed in the warm spring, not only peonies, peaches and plums were in full bloom, but also There are unknown wild flowers blooming in the grass, but they are well managed.
As expected of a female school, it smells more like medicine, and the flower bed has been taken up to grow medicine. The Tai Medical Office is too beautiful.
"Now there are few students and there are few places to use, so only a part is open for the time being," Mingda took her to see. "This is the piano room, a place for students to teach how to play the piano."
Zhou Man looked in from the window, and asked with a wow: "Did you buy all these violins?"
Mingda nodded, "Yes, it costs a lot, and the riding and archery lessons haven't started yet, and we have to buy more horses and bows later."
These expenses are also quite a lot.
Zhou Man gave her a thumbs up and asked, "Do you need my support?"
Mingda blinked at her, and said pointedly: "If you are interested, I will naturally not stop, there will still be a lot of places where women's schools need to spend money in the future."
"Oh~~" Zhou Man understood, "You are trying to collect donations from us."
Ming Da said: "It's too early to mention this at this time, let's talk about it when it grows stronger."
Zhou Man said to her seriously: "It will definitely grow!"
Mingda also thinks so, "Nowadays in the palace, mothers and sister-in-laws all trust female officials, and some concubines who are not favored even invite themselves to be female officials, so I think women will have a lot to do in the future, and naturally women's studies will also have a lot to do."
"Wow, which empress is so powerful?"
Mingda laughed and said, "It's just a talented person. Courage is commendable, but it's not really great. At least it's not as good as you."
Mingda took her to the next door and said: "This is the tea room, and the two yards beyond are the dormitory supervisors. They all live in the school when they go to school. Just like your imperial medical office, they take two days off every ten days for bathing."
"It's the same as the imperial court's holiday."
"yes."
"Where did you get it, sir?"
"I was just about to tell you," Mingda said, "Sir, I invited you from various places, but there are few famous ones. Years ago, I had been asking Kong to offer wine to help invite famous teachers, but..."
"They don't want to come?"
Mingda nodded, looked at Zhou Man and said, "I want to ask you to be my husband."
Zhou Man: "...do you think I'm free now?"
She snapped her fingers and said, "There are a lot of things in the imperial medical office. I also need to see a doctor in the imperial hospital, and I have to study medical books. From time to time, I have to go to the imperial medical office to take some classes. If you find me a job, why don't you give me a job?" Split it in half and share it."
Mingda laughed and said, "I'm not asking you to attend classes every day, just like you are now teaching classes at the Imperial Medical Office. What's that called... Yes, a special topic class, one topic at a time, one reason, it doesn't matter when you come, as long as you are free How about coming over and talking?"
Zhou Man: "Since it's not a fixed course, the lessons I teach may be repeated with other teachers. Why bother?"
Mingda said: "For the same sentence, everyone's opinion is different. I want them to listen to your opinion."
"Of course, there is another reason," she said: "You are the only female official in the current court meeting. If you come, I will be considered a famous teacher in Mingxue. Maybe I can use your name to attract more people." Many famous teachers."
Zhou Man looked suspicious, "Me? How is this possible? Me, this is not teaching medical skills, how can I be famous?"
"Yes, yes," Mingda said with a smile, "It's always been said that you grew up reading a collection of scriptures and history, and you were taught as a man since you were a child. Bai Zhishan knows it, and you know it."
Zhou Man rubbed his chin in thought, "So I borrowed Bai Shan's light?"
Bai Erlang, who had been playing with the two children, immediately raised his head and said, "There are mine."
He shook his head and said proudly: "You are stuck in the middle of the court now, you must not know the vicissitudes of the situation outside?"
"What's changing? It's clearly a rumor," Zhou Man knew him best, and asked, "Tell me, what's the rumor about the teahouse?"
Bai Erlang chuckled and said, "Our teacher is amazing, and he took in three disciples in his lifetime, all of them are extraordinary."
"Bai Shan and I passed the Jinshi examination at a young age, and you, Zhou Man, are famous all over the world. As a direct disciple of a scholar, you must have also studied a collection of classics and history, and you are no worse than others."
Mingda: "Don't listen to him, the outside world thinks you are very famous, since you are Bai Shan and his elder sister, then your martial arts should not be inferior to them, so you are really famous among literati, how about it?" ,bring it on."
Zhou Man rolled his eyes and said, "If I can come, can other wives also come?"
She said: "Teaching, you have so many classes here, all of which are occupied by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. For example, my mother-in-law is very good at painting and piano, so I can come over to give them a class occasionally; Excellent, Mrs. Yang Xue, that handwriting is very strong, no less than Brother Yang, um, if Brother Yang can come to a class, the female students attracted..."
Zhou Man looked at Mingda.
Mingda's eyes brightened, "It may not be possible to attract students, but teachers will definitely be able to attract them."
"There are also ladies in the palace," Zhou Man said, "They can also come out from time to time to give special lectures to the students. Those who can be concubines in the palace, even if they don't have a skill, must have their own for the collection of classics and history. Why don't you invite them for some insights?"
Ming Da didn't expect Zhou Man to be so courageous that he dared to invite concubines, "I'm really ashamed, you dare to invite concubines in the palace?"
"Actually, I would like to suggest that you invite Mr. Tang and Cui Shangshu," Zhou Man said, "who can compare with them in terms of knowledge? If you can invite them to give a class or two, the students will definitely Benefited a lot."
Sure enough, there is no such thing as the most courageous, only bigger.
But... Mingda still seriously considered the possibility.
