On the capital side, several princesses and the official family members organized by Mrs. Chen initiated an initiative to request the first girls' school to be established in the capital.
The first women's school did not require funds from the imperial court. Princess Rong Yue took the lead in fundraising. With the strong support of the ladies, the first women's school was built in full swing.
In the Northern Tang Dynasty, wealthy or official families would run private schools for women, so there were always women who were literate or well-versed in literature. It would be great if these learned girls could serve as teachers in the first girls' school.
After a pause, she said again, of course, maybe the father or husband in the family disagreed, but there are always some men who are reasonable and willing to make progress with women and men, hoping to see such a good man in the capital.
These inadvertent words will definitely be spread, and the kind of good man the Queen Mother wants to see will definitely appear.
As a man, if you scold him a few times, he is prone to stubbornness, but if you praise him a few words, especially the support of the current queen, you will tell him to be willing to do anything.
Zelan was the first to stand up, saying that he wanted to be a teacher at a girls' school.
Even Yuan Qingling didn't think of Zelan's decision, because she knew that her daughter was very afraid of trouble, especially recently, she was also busy with those things. She was almost not in the palace at night. In the daytime, besides sleeping, she was busy with some investigations. There is no spare time.
She went to talk to Zelan, Zelan leaned on her shoulder and yawned, "Mom, I can arrange the time, and I can shorten the time of the investigation during the day, because the investigation is for the sake of prudence, but In fact, my own induction, and the selection of the Hellfire Ring, can't go wrong, then I just use the time of day to be a teacher."
"But you have to go out at night and be a teacher during the day, won't you be too busy? You have to know that at the beginning of the school, everything was difficult."
"I'm mentally prepared. I decided to go after thinking about it. It's not a moment of passion. I'm the princess of the Northern Tang Dynasty. I have this obligation and responsibility, so I won't say this. As a daughter, I always have to help my mother. share the responsibility."
"Okay!" Yuan Qingling rubbed her forehead, she was really relieved.
Zelan yawned again. In front of her mother, she was able to show no manners. "Also, I want to do more meaningful things, and I don't want to waste my time. It's a waste of time."
"You didn't spend it in vain, you already have the emperor's life in your body."
"If you can do it, do more. I remember hearing from the grandfathers of Prince Su's mansion that a person can't only do one thing, but can do several things at the same time. Anyway, the time is arranged by himself."
Yuan Qingling smiled, "Well, you can take them as an example, they used to hold several jobs."
"I just want to work hard and try my best."
Yuan Qingling felt that her daughter was very sensible, and once again thanked the Qihuo couple for teaching her well.
Jinghe County Master also recommended herself, but Yuan Qingling refused her self-recommendation considering that there were many children in her family, some of them were still in the period of rebellion, and she could not be separated.
Mrs. Yao also recommended herself, and Yuan Qingling agreed. Her child is young, but when she goes out during the day, the family can take her with her. Today's Ruintian is not the same as in the past. The number of servants in the family is large, and the brothers of Lenglangmen are very good I miss his children and always tell him to bring them back to play with everyone.
Yuan Qingling also suggested that the school could open some craft interest classes, add embroidery, woodcarving, pottery, painting, etc. Anyway, try to attract as many girls as possible.
Master Xu responded positively and said that he was willing to teach at the school for free.
Master Xu is famous. After Beiya's case was settled, it was announced to the public that Master Xu was still tenacious and unyielding when he was imprisoned and tortured by evil officials in order to protect his female disciples.
And about her own experience is also known to everyone. Weekly once interviewed her, and said that she has been independent and self-improvement over the years and raised several sons to grow up.
The matter of Master Xu has positive educational significance, so that everyone can see that women can be independent and self-improvement with a craft, and do not need to rely on anyone.
In addition, the craftsmanship of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce is still respectable. The daughters of ordinary people can sell embroidery for money, but the tuition fees for studying in embroidery workshops are too expensive, and admission to girls' schools is free, so naturally they are eager to sign up.
Mrs. Yao counted the number and reported to the queen.
"There are far more people who study arts than those who read and write. Will this go against our original intention?"
Yuan Qingling shook her head, "No, no, they have entered the school, what courses they want to study is arranged by our school, and interests are cultivated slowly, we have to be more patient, this is a good thing Start."
"That's fine, let's do it first." Mrs. Yao also acted resolutely, not much to say, and immediately went out of the palace to do errands.
