Liuer Fanwai 40
Three months' salary is nothing to Liu'er. But this punishment made her feel unhappy.
Feng Zhixi said, "The emperor is also for the ministers." The chief responsibility for the death of the old Xiucai lies with him, but because of Liuer, it is an indisputable fact that he was beaten to death by the Yamen. Therefore, Liuer is also at fault.
Brother You doesn't have any scruples, and he can support Liu'er in the courtroom. But Qihao is the emperor, even if he is partial to Liuer, he can't be brazen.
Liu'er said: "My mother said that she was in her position to seek political affairs. Qi Hao is not wrong in doing this, I just feel uneasy."
After speaking, Liu Er sighed and said, "I think she understands why Jiangnan has no girls' school for a long time." It's not that no one wants to do it, but there is too much resistance to do it.
Feng Zhixi said: "If this female school is to be run by the mother, there will be much less resistance."
Liu'er did not mean the death of the old scholar. But if it were changed to Yuxi, no one would dare to criticize even if she ordered to be killed. Yu Shi had a great burden, and he didn't dare to ask the emperor to punish the emperor severely at the Golden Luang Temple.
"I hope too, but my father will take my mother with me wherever I go. My mother can't do anything while running around." Otherwise, Jiangnan's girls' school would have been set up a long time ago. A three-month salary is fined.
Feng Zhixi said: "However, the more difficult it is, the greater your contribution will be to the establishment of a female school in the future. Maybe you will be as famous as the princess in the future."
Liu Er was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "I don't ask for a name in history, I just hope that in my lifetime, I won't hear the nonsense of a woman without talent is virtue."
This difficulty is a bit big. However, Feng Zhixi did not pour cold water on her either.
In order to make the girls' school run smoothly, Liuer wrote a letter to send to Shandong. Yun Qing and Yuxi went to Shandong after the New Year. With the habit of the two in the past few years, I am afraid that I will stay in the second half of the year again.
Unfortunately, Liuer thought things too simple. Under the impetus of a caring person, this matter was raging in the south of the Yangtze River. Several great scholars publicly accused Liu Er, saying that she was cold-blooded and didn't take life seriously. How could a school run by such a person be good. What's more, there are people writing poems and articles mocking Liuer.
I don't know, I thought Liuer was a domineering, vicious and vicious woman.
Liu'er had never been scolded like this before when she was so old, but she couldn't help these people. Although she was the golden branch of the princess when she was a princess, it was impossible to fight against the whole Jiangnan literary world.
However, Jiaojiao even added fuel to the fire and brought back a poem mocking Liuer to show her.
Angrily attacked, Liu'er fell ill.
Feng Zhixi said distressedly: "What are you vying with them, isn't it a problem with yourself? It's vomiting blood and vain air."
Liuer lay in bed and didn't speak.
"Don't think too much, recuperate well, and get your body up as soon as possible." Feng Zhixi couldn't get in on the local affairs. If not, the papers for impeaching him might pile up like a mountain. And this matter is not the same as the dead temperament of the old scholar. To intervene in local matters, that is, if he oversteps the rules, the emperor will be unhappy.
Liu Er muttered: "If you are busy, I will squint."
Two days later, Feng Dajun arrived in Jinling. Seeing Liu'er, Feng Dajun saw her look uncomfortable and asked: "What's the rumors outside?"
As soon as the group disembarked, they heard that Liuer Cao Kan was criticizing life everywhere. Feng Dajun didn't take this rumor seriously, but Chang Clan was worried. He also urged Feng Dajun to come over quickly. Feng Dajun couldn't help but Chang's, so he had to go ahead.
Liu Er smiled bitterly and said the matter briefly: "I didn't expect a small incident to cause such a big trouble. I am now a heinous and poisonous woman."
"I just said that the rumors are not credible, your mother was worried. However, it's not worth it to be angry for such a small matter." The second princess has been too smooth these years, and nothing has happened. If you want to be a princess, you will definitely take these people's words as farts.
Liu'er is so depressed, this is a trivial matter. She became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beaten her.
Feng Dajun laughed and said: "They scolded the queen dowager a hundred times more viciously than you. But the queen dowager completely ignored them." The real powerhouse would not answer these gossips.
"They still dare to scold my mother. Why haven't I heard about it?" She was in Jiangnan, but she had never heard rumors against Yuxi.
Feng Dajun laughed and said: "In the years when the Supreme Emperor took down Jiangnan, those people scolded the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother very fiercely. It seemed that if they did not scold the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother, it seemed that they were not noble. Later, the Queen Mother held a big fight on Jiangnan. No one would dare to scold the Queen Mother anymore for those literati.” Afterwards, Yuxi’s iron-blooded wrists were one aspect, and the other was that Yuxi allowed the common people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Liu'er never heard Yuxi mention these things.
Feng Dajun smiled and said, "You run a female school. This is a good thing for the country and the people."
Wearing a hat too high, Liu Er was a little embarrassed: "I run a school for girls, I just hope that women will also have the opportunity to read and read." Some scholarly families do not allow girls to study. This phenomenon is really weird. .
Feng Dajun said sternly: "Princess, imagine if the empress dowager is not studying and does not understand government affairs and can only embroider, how can she assist the Emperor to win the world. In that way, the common people may still be suffering from the war." So what he said just now, It comes from the bottom of my heart. Women's studies are not only useful for the family, but also useful for the country.
Liuer was said in a daze.
Feng Dajun said: "Princess, don't just give up for a few words. If you really don't run a girls' school, it will be what those people want. At this time, not only can you not back down, but you have to go forward."
Liu Er smiled and said, "I didn't give up, so I was scolded by them. I am about to invite everyone to come to the mansion to enjoy flowers when I recover." Flower viewing is the name of the name, and the main reason is to enroll students in female schools. The news is released.
I was afraid of giving up halfway when I was doing things, and I felt relieved that I knew that Liuer hadn't given up the plan to close the army.
Three days later, Liuer posted an invitation, inviting the female family members of the civil and military officials above Jinling City to enjoy the flowers.
After the flower viewing banquet, the Governor's Mansion sent the two girls of the right age to the female journal. Upon seeing this, the governor and chief envoy also sent a girl to sign up. When the officials below saw that the governor supported the princess in this way, they all followed suit.
Liu'er took the list, mixed with joys and sorrows.
Feng Zhixi took a towel while wiping her head, and asked: "What's the matter, didn't anyone sign up?"
The official residences of the governor-general of Guangdong and Guangxi, including the governor, chief executive, and other high-ranking officials, are in Jinling, so there are more than twice as many officials here as in Fuzhou. It stands to reason that it should be better to recruit students. But with what happened before, Feng Zhixi was not so optimistic.
Liu Er shook his head and said, "No, there are a lot of people who signed up. It's just that all the people who signed up are girls from officials and eunuchs. In this case, something is wrong." The squire and the girls from the merchants were not traced.
Feng Zhixi didn't feel any surprises about this: "Science, peasants, commerce and industry, this official family is the least of them to look down on merchants. Their girls, how willing to study with merchant girls." The style of writing is indeed very popular here in Jiangnan, but the rules are here. The level is also very strict. Like merchants, their status here is very low.
Liuer frowned.
Feng Zhixi smiled and said: "Now the main thing is to set up women's schools. Just like in Fuzhou, as long as you set up women's schools, there will naturally be more and more women's schools in the future. At that time, the girls of the squire business houses, There are also opportunities to enter the school to study."
Liuer nodded.
As in Fuzhou, Liuer only enrolls 30 students, and the tuition fee is one hundred taels per semester.
The night before the beginning of the women's school, someone tried to throw dung at the gate of the school, but the guard there was caught upright. After suffering the loss of the old scholar, Liuer sent the person to the yamen this time. How to deal with it depends on the law.
On the second day, the students were sent to the school by the family. In case someone came to sabotage again, the prefect Yamen sent officials to patrol around the women's school. As soon as you see a suspicious person, arrest him immediately.
Fortunately, the day was calm and there was no accident. As a result, at night, someone set fire to the school.
Liu'er said to Feng Zhixi in a somewhat inconceivable way: "I'm just running a women's school, how can I make it seem like I've done something heinous."
“In the eyes of many people, it’s just a matter of a woman who doesn’t recognize a few words and just keep her eyes blind. Reading to read is a right that men have. Your running a school for women is a bad thing for these people, and it’s for them. These people are naturally trying to destroy it." He didn't expect that the most difficult thing to do in women's school turned out to be Jiangnan.
The well-informed family got the news the next day and knew that someone had gone to a girls’ school to set fire. Fu Minglang's eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law retreated. But Grandma Fu was relatively calm, while Grandma Fu San’s mental quality was not that high, and she said anxiously: “Father, I heard that someone ran to the girls’ school to set fire last night. Father, it’s too dangerous. Don't let Ling'er go."
Fu Minglang said indifferently, "Don't worry, the princess won't let the female students have trouble."
Grandma Fu San was anxious: "Someone is going to the school to set fire, who knows what will happen next. Father, I am a daughter like Ling'er. If anything happens, I won't be able to survive."
Fu Minglang's face turned dark, and he said it as if he didn't care about his granddaughter's life or death: "If you don't want her to go, then don't let her go. However, it is easy to withdraw, but it is difficult to enter again. You have to think clearly about this. "
Grandma Fu's heart trembled when she heard that, she knew that her father-in-law had a deep meaning in what she said. Even though she was worried about her daughter's safety, she sent her to a women's school the next day. Fu Ling'er was sick at home the next day.
The third grandmother of the Fu family smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is so wide-minded." The danger of women's school sent her daughter to school, obviously not taking her daughter's life seriously.
Grandma Fu said indifferently: "Women's school is sponsored by the public, there is no danger. The rumors outside are not enough to believe." She explained this to her daughter last night, and Miss Fu San was not afraid, and she said she liked it. The atmosphere of women's school.
The third grandmother of the Fu family smiled without a smile.
