Chapter 360: The woman can’t read the meaning?
But it is not an isolated case that women are denied education.
The woman next to her was even more disappointed than she was, but she still managed to smile and comfort her:
"At least your parents agreed, so you went to the academy and ran into a wall. But it's different for me. My family doesn't want me to go to school. They say it's useless for a girl to study, and that becoming an official to bring honor to the family is something that my brother has to do."
Their words resonated with many girls.
Another person said: "My parents are actually quite good. They are willing to support me to go to school, and the school principal also agreed."
The girls' eyes sparkled when they heard her words. They were about to congratulate her and say that she was extremely lucky, but then they heard her say:
"But the teacher at the school... didn't like me. He thought I was stupid and couldn't keep up with his teachings, so he told me not to waste my time. But... when those male classmates asked him for help, he would always greet them with a smile. But every time I went to look for him, he was either busy or closed the door."
"unacceptable!"
The girls gnashed their teeth and said, "Even if the emperor allows us to study, as the saying goes, it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with the devil. When will we be able to study properly?"
yes......
When will they be able to stop begging others and walk into school with their heads held high?
"Now."
The woman in red raised her sleeves, and the gold thread on her sleeves dazzled the girls' eyes.
"We can now go to school and study with dignity."
She pointed at the notice with confidence.
"Can......"
"His Majesty has taken into consideration all the setbacks and difficulties you have encountered," she said.
"Really?"
A literate girl could no longer wait and walked to the notice in two or three steps.
Everyone was waiting for her to speak, so she read softly from the notice:
"The emperor has issued an order that all government schools in the country allow girls to study. All government schools are not allowed to refuse to accept girls. The Ministry of Rites will send people to inspect government schools from time to time. If there are any violations, the school will be closed for rectification."
She covered her mouth when she read this, her eyes shining.
"It's true! His Majesty has really considered our situation! The officials from the Ministry of Rites have also set up an inspection office!"
The people standing behind them looked at each other.
To be honest, it is still a bit far-fetched for them to have girls go to school. In ordinary families, not to mention girls, there are many boys who cannot read.
However, in the past two years, with the promotion of the imperial court, boys of appropriate age in families have gradually begun to read and learn to read, and some have even gone to private schools.
So now some people think that if women want to study, then let them study. Isn’t the magistrate of Tongan also a woman? Didn’t she also become famous through studying?
Besides, what does it have to do with them if other girls study? Just mind your own business.
But some people were dissatisfied and whispered:
"Women should stay at home and do needlework, take care of their husbands and children, and studying for a good reputation should be left to us men. You can't study hard to get anywhere, so why waste time and money? If you miss the good opportunity to get married, you won't be able to find a husband."
"But... I see there are two pretty girls among you. Why don't you follow me? I can also find some books for you to read. What do you think?"
"Ouch--"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head by something.
"Who! Who!"
The man thought that he was beaten by someone nearby, so he looked around for a long time but didn't see anyone suspicious.
In the tree behind——
Yiqun acted as the emperor's eyes and ears, relaying everything the people below said to the emperor. At the same time, he smiled and scooped up a bag of tree branches, praising, "Your Majesty, you have a good aim."
The emperor held the tree branch with his hand, with a proud look on his face.
"Back then, my riding and archery skills were outstanding among all the princes. Every autumn hunting, I would win the first prize."
He weighed the branch in his hand, aimed at the back of the person's head, and threw another branch.
"You are so outspoken that you cannot understand the situation!"
"Ouch--"
"Who! Who is it! Stand up for me! If you have the guts, let's have a fair fight! How can you be a true gentleman if you attack by surprise!"
The emperor gave Yi Qun a look, and Yi Qun raised his hand, and Yang Ping, the tallest and strongest soldier in the Yulin Army, spun around and flew down from the opposite roof and landed steadily among the crowd.
He stood with his head held high and looked at the man with his arms folded, but the man acted as if he didn't see him and kept shouting "so and so".
When the people saw that he was as strong as a bear, with a firm face and a long sword behind his back, they knew that this man was not to be trifled with.
They dispersed one after another, leaving the venue to the two of them.
The man who had been talking nonsense lowered his head, shouted "so and so" while retreating in the right direction.
When he realized that he was far away from Yang Ping, he started to run, but bumped into the human wall formed by the people.
"Ouch--"
He covered his head and sat down on the ground.
Yang Ping walked forward steadily, looking down at him condescendingly.
"I'm fighting. How about a fight?"
After saying that, he drew out the long sword from his back, a cold light flashed, and the sword whistled.
Hiss—the real thing is coming!
The people all retreated, fearing that innocent people would be hurt.
On the contrary, the girls standing in front of the notice did not move at all, looking at Yang Ping with admiration.
The man on the ground supported himself with his hands behind his back and rubbed backwards repeatedly.
But he felt that this man would not dare to really kill him in broad daylight, so he stared at the sword in the other's hand while trying to make amends for himself.
"You and I have no grudges against each other, why do you keep hitting me? Once would be fine, but you hit me twice!"
Yang Ping was too lazy to listen to his rambling, so he took out a branch from somewhere and hit him on the forehead in front of him.
"I'll hit you three times, what do you think?"
The emperor stood on the tree branch, laughing so hard that he fell backwards. He patted Yi Qun on the shoulder and said:
"A generous reward! Go back and reward Yang Ping generously!"
The crowd laughed. The man on the ground realized that he had lost all his dignity. He retreated and shouted:
"Call the police! I want to call the police! Beating people in broad daylight, is there any law?"
Wangfa?
Yang Ping raised his eyebrows. Did this guy really think that no one heard what he said? He actually dared to steal and catch thieves.
I'm sorry, he really comes here to represent the law.
The woman in red stepped forward, bowed to Yang Ping, pointed at the person on the ground and said:
"If I hit you with a tree branch twice, is that considered beating you? Then if you tripped on the road, would you also report it to the police and say that the land god beat you?"
The crowd burst into laughter again, and the woman in red continued:
"Then why did you go out? Go home and drink your milk. Oh - no. You looked down on women in your words just now. I'm afraid you don't have a mother to give birth to you. You can only go home and drink some rice soup."
"You! You! I'll beat you to death!"
The man on the ground thought to himself that he had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
He can't afford to offend that strong bear, but can he afford to offend this woman?
He was furious, and he climbed up with his hands, rushing towards the woman in red. Unexpectedly, Yang Ping reacted very quickly, holding a sword in front of him, so that he dared not move forward.
The guard of the woman in red reacted a little slower than Yang Ping, who stepped forward and pinned him to the ground.
