Mr. Huang walked out of the office. Seeing that his colleagues next door hadn't moved, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Mr. Su, what are they doing, why haven't they left?"

   Mr. Ji smiled and said, "I heard that they are going to write a message to the parents of the students. I am afraid that they will have to work overtime today. Brother Huang is looking for Brother Su for something?"

  Mr. Huang sneered and snorted coldly: "The women's school is trouble. I've never heard of writing a message to the parents. If a student makes a mistake, just let the parents come and listen to the training. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

   Mr. Ji's face was slightly embarrassed, and he cupped his hands and looked behind Mr. Huang, "Mr. Gu."

   Gu Jingyun returned the gift, "Mr. Ji."

   He nodded slightly to Mr. Huang, then passed them to the next door.

   Mr. Huang's expression was even more ugly, but he just snorted and didn't find fault.

Mr. Ji sighed, hesitated for a while, but leaned into his ear and said, "Brother Huang, let's be more cautious, the reopening of the women's school is a foregone conclusion. They are so considerate of the students and the academy that they appreciate it very much, and they even took a transcript away, probably to take it to Su Shanchang.

   "Women should be chaste and keep their points. It's almost enough to read some "Nv Jie" and "The Legend of Martyrs". No matter how many books they read, can they still be slaughtered by officials? What's more, what is the etiquette of showing up like this?"

Seeing that he was stubborn, Mr. Ji shook his head and said, "You are too stubborn, you are too stubborn to read and reason, and not only serve as an official, let alone women manage the back house and raise children. What's more, there is a wise helper. If you can marry a knowledgeable, reasonable, and broad-minded wife, the husband will not only be able to fight for his future with peace of mind, but it will also be very helpful to him. Brother Huang, don't underestimate women."

   "It is only natural for a man to support his family. If he wants his wife to help him, why is he still alive?"

Mr. Ji looked at him helplessly, shook his head and left.

In the past, he also disapproved of reopening women's schools. He felt that it was degrading to mix men and women in the same academy, but he watched the girls in the academy gradually become lively and cheerful, and in some ways radiated brilliance, and then went home to see their daughters shining brightly. eyes, his disapproval had long since vanished.

   He has already made a plan. This year, he will teach his daughter at home first. Next year, when the Qingxi Academy starts to recruit new students, he will let his daughter take the exam, so that she will not always be alone at home studying and sewing alone.

   At home, she can read books, play the piano, and play chess, but when she comes to the academy, she can learn a lot.

   Whose daughter will be distressed, anyway, he hopes that his daughter will be better in the future, and he would rather his son-in-law suffer some grievances than let his daughter be wronged.

   Mr. Ji glanced at Mr. Huang, turned around and walked away. The way is different. Mr. Huang also has a daughter, and he doesn't feel bad. There is no need for him to quarrel with him as an outsider.

But Mr. Huang has always been upright and never looked at people. When he saw Mr. Ji left, he followed, and said angrily: "Before the academy was quiet and secluded, and the students only knew how to read. Now? Floating, how many people are still focused on reading? The chaos all day long, this is all caused by the Li clan, I can't wait, I can't wait..."

"Mr. Huang is careful," Mr. Ji stopped and said, "Only from the results of the mid-term exams that just came out, I don't think the students' grades have dropped, and since the reopening of the women's school, the atmosphere of the academy is not like before. It's so dull and lively, and I think this is the vitality of young people."

"And it is undeniable that students' enthusiasm for learning has increased a lot recently. It is not like before, who only studied for the completion of the coursework arranged by the teacher and for the imperial examination." Although Mr. Ji felt that the students had lost sight of their teachers, he did not feel that This kind of development is not good. Compared with Mr. Huang's uprightness, Mr. Ji has always been tolerant. Seeing Mr. Huang's disapproval and the disapproval in his eyes, he smiled and said: "Brother Huang, just tell me these words, if it is passed on to me. In Mr. Li's ears, I still don't know how she will play tricks on you and get revenge on you."

   He pointedly said: "Speaking of women's school can be reopened or thanks to Brother Huang."

  Mr. Huang's face was ashen. This was his sore foot. No one dared to mention it in front of him for the past two months. Unexpectedly, the person who mentioned it for the first time turned out to be Mr. Ji, the always tolerant old man.

   Mr. Ji said goodbye to him with a smile, leaving behind Mr. Huang with an ugly face.

   Mr. Huang glared at his back for a while, then finally turned his head to glance at the Women's Court's office and stomped away.

At the same time, Su Shanchang had just finished reading the message written on the back of the transcript, and he returned it to Deputy Shanchang Mei, nodding slightly and saying, "Yes, thirty letters, not a lot of work, but not a lot. , they are afraid that they will not be able to catch the morning meal, and they will work overtime in the afternoon, so that the cafeteria will prepare lunch and afternoon tea for them."

   Deputy Chief Mei bowed in response, took the transcript and retired.

  Gu Jingyun walked into the office of the women's courtyard, only glanced at Li Baolu and went to his mother.

   Qin Wenyin didn't work as a class teacher, so she didn't have any credit to write. At this time, she was studying with a chess manual, and she just nodded slightly when she saw her son coming.

  Gu Jingyun sat down beside her and said in a low voice, "Mother, Master, he's here to pick you up. He said that he told you to go to Jinhai Lake early in the morning, and he was waiting outside the academy at this time."

   Qin Wenyin was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at the hourglass subconsciously, only to realize that it was almost noon before she knew it.

   Her face was reddish, and she glanced at her son with a guilty conscience.

  The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth was smiling, and his eyes were as warm as water. He reached out and took off the chess sheet in her hand and said, "Go mother, let my son see this chess sheet."

   Qin Wenyin blushed and whispered, "Would you like me to pack some meals for you and Baolu?"

   "No," Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "Mr. Mei has come over, and he should have someone bring food in a while. It's good for my son to have a meal here. It's a good half-day vacation, you just go and play."

   Qin Wenyin blushed and stood up, nodded slightly and said, "Then mother left first."

  Gu Jingyun got up to send her out, Qin Wenyin said goodbye to the other gentlemen, and when Baolu got up to see her off, she touched her head and said, "Go to work, if Jingyun sees me off."

  Li Baolu sat down unceremoniously, and whispered coquettishly: "Mother, the fried small fish by Jinhai Lake is especially delicious..."

   Qin Wenyin saw her greedy appearance, and was relieved by her son's embarrassment when she found out that she was going on a date, and whispered, "Don't worry, mother will bring it back for you."

   "Thank you mother, Baolu likes you the most."

   Qin Wenyin just touched her head.

   Gu Jingyun glanced at his daughter-in-law and turned to send Qin Wenyin out.

  Li Baolu continued to sit down and work hard without realizing it.

Thirty letters, even if they are not long, have to be attentive and write about the understanding of each student. It takes about a quarter of an hour for a letter, so it will take about three and a half hours, and a faster teacher can barely Finished before dinner, generally I am afraid that I have to work overtime.

  So Vice-Chancellor Mei asked the school staff to send all the girls home. Today is a half-day off. Everyone can play wherever they want.

  The students from the Boys' College had already taken their transcripts or went home or went out to play with friends, but only the students of the Girls' College went home empty-handed.

  Fortunately, the entire women's school did not issue transcripts. Although everyone was afraid, they didn't know they were panicking, so they all went home calmly.

   When asked about the grades at home, some people said that they would get their grades in the next day without changing their face, while others cried and told their family that they did not do well in the test.

  Parents were expecting, doubting or angry. This night was a bit difficult for many parents with daughters going to school in Qingxi.

   And some girls even suffered from insomnia, and came to the academy the next day with two dark circles under their eyes and looking haggard.

The teachers in the women's school were also a little haggard and couldn't do anything about it. The workload yesterday was a bit heavy, but fortunately they were all done. After school that afternoon, they sent the transcripts with their written messages and asked them to take them back to their parents. .

  The girls secretly opened the report card and glanced at them. Seeing the husband praised them like this, they blushed, and their eyes still flashed with excitement.

   It turns out that they are so good in the eyes of the teacher.

   Looking at the instructions at the back, they also thought about it, and after reflection, they felt that what the husband said was actually quite right, and they did have such shortcomings.

  Ouyang Qing held the transcript with a calm expression, but in fact, she clenched her hands tightly and handed it to her grandmother with a heartbeat.

   No one knew her grandmother better than she did.

  Her grandfather was a minister of the Ministry of Rites, her grandmother always regarded herself as a scholarly family, and the Ouyang family passed on poetry and books, especially her face.

   When the women's school reopened, her grandmother had said that apart from going to Kaosongshan and Qingxi academies, the girls of the Ouyang family would not go to other academies to avoid embarrassment.

   Her grades were pretty good in Yongmei's class, second only to Zheng Dan, but in the school grade, it was terrible compared to the boys' grades, and her grades were not good.

  Although there was a message from Mr. Ouyang Qing, Ouyang Qing was still worried.

   But she has always been strong, even if her heart was trembling with fear, she never cried or panicked, and gave her results with calm hands.

Mrs. Ouyang opened the report card and read it for a while, then looked at her best granddaughter with a blank face, and slowly closed the report card and said, "Since your husbands have interceded, I will not care about this time, but next time If you still get such a score in the exam, don't be ashamed, come back as soon as possible and say it's better to get married."

  Ouyang Qing broke out in a cold sweat, but bowed her face with a straight face and replied, "Yes, my granddaughter will follow the lesson."

Contrary to Ouyang's family, Mrs. Wei in Dingguo's mansion looked at the transcripts of the three Wan Zhihe sisters for a long time, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, you were able to qualify for the academy exam for the first time. On top of so many male students, it can be seen that they have not missed their homework on weekdays, and I will work harder in the future to step on all the students in the men's college, and see if they dare to look down on our girls."

   Mrs. Wei fondled the letter on the transcript with some nostalgia, and said with a distant gaze, "I think back then when your grandmother went to a women's school, the women's school was able to compete with the men's school..."

   Mrs. Wei looked at her three granddaughters with a slight smile and said, "But you are not bad now. You are lucky, and you have met a good gentleman."
