Ouyang Shangshu's eyes widened, he couldn't help rubbing his ears and asked, "You said you want to argue with me?"

Gu Jingyun nodded slightly.

Ouyang Shangshu recalled it carefully, and felt that he hadn't offended him recently, so he stared and asked, "Teacher Gu, what kind of etiquette do you want to argue with this old man?"

"The gift of the boudoir."

Ouyang Shangshu: "...the wind is too strong, I don't seem to hear clearly."

Gu Jingyun looked up at him and said: "In ancient times, people only knew their mothers but not their fathers. As the tribes gradually flourished, people had families and parents; Leizu raised mulberry and silkworms, and weaved silk. Cloth, this is the cloth that covers the body and creates marriage civilization; while merchants have women who are good at fighting, and they are also sacrifices, and there are women who are in charge of agriculture and internal affairs; Han has Ban Zhao, who can co-write "Hanshu "; and my founding queen is even more open-minded and generous, building a women's school and educating the people, so I want to discuss this boudoir ceremony with Ouyang Shangshu."

Ouyang Shangshu shook his fingers and looked at Gu Jingyun with a serious and upright face. His mind was full of the fact that his granddaughter came to him some time ago and said that he would teach at Yunlu College.

He still doesn't understand that Gu Jingyun is here to pave the way for his granddaughter, and Li Baolu must be instigating it behind his back.

He blew his beard in anger, and was not interested in arguing with Gu Jingyun, so he flung his sleeves and left, "Okay, I don't care about your head office, shall I?"

Gu Jingyun smiled, followed him leisurely and said: "Shangshu Ouyang, life is only for 'happiness', why stick to those rules? Besides, those rules are also determined by people's selfishness. They have this ambition, not only Being able to please yourself is of great value to the country and the people, so what do you care about in your heart?"

Ouyang Shangshu paused.

Gu Jingyun stood beside him and said: "Or do you mean that men and women in the world are so dirty in your hearts that as long as women go out, they will have affairs with men?"

Ouyang Shangshu blushed, "Of course not."

"Then what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that these girls will surpass men in the world one day? Can't you control them?"

"Naturally not. We are not so narrow-minded. It's just the right way for a woman to marry her husband and teach her children."

Gu Jingyun smiled and said lightly: "Shangshu's granddaughter did not say that she would not care for her husband and raise her children. Except for the inner house, women have too much free time. In a farmhouse, they still have to work in the fields, but in a family like yours,"

Gu Jingyun paused, and said with a smile: "Teaching in the academy is just taking up a little bit of their time."

Ouyang Shangshu sighed, "The world is so narrow, I'm afraid few people can think as openly as Taifu Gu."

He only obeyed Qin Xinfang in the civil and military theory of the Manchu Dynasty, and Gu Jingyun was taught by Qin Xinfang.

"As you say, the world is narrow, but I think the world is very tolerant. No matter how different the two fashions are, they can quickly abandon the old and pursue the new."

Ouyang Shangshu shook his cheeks and said, "That's ignorance."

"That's why we want to educate the people. Since the founding of the country, the number of people who can read and write has increased a lot. However, looking at the tens of thousands of people in Chu, this number of people is nothing."

In Dachu, the capital and other places are considered the most prosperous in civil and military style, but judging from the household registration statistics of the Ministry of Household Statistics, the number of literate people does not exceed 10%.

A person who is literate here does not refer to basic literacy, but that the other person is also literate even if they only know their own name or one, two, three, and four.

If these things are excluded, perhaps less than 5% of the people who have truly achieved literacy.

Not to mention the rest of Dachu, some barren lands, I am afraid that the entire county will not be able to find a Jinshi.

Educating the people is not just talk, all scholars have this ambition.

It's just that Gu Jingyun didn't limit Wanmin to men only, if Baolu wanted to educate women, he would help her.

And if you want to be open, you have to start with these upper-class girls, because the common people are still very open in some things.

Because of benefits, but also because of the above and below.

Ouyang Shangshu returned to the mansion, after thinking about it, he still called his granddaughter to the study to talk. When Ouyang Qing came out again, her eyes were red, but her face was very happy.

Her sisters surrounded her and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what's the matter?"

Ouyang Qing raised her head and smiled like a flower, "A good thing, it's a great thing for me!"

To her, it was a great thing, but to Mrs. Ouyang, it was a huge bad thing. She even regarded it as a disgrace, and angrily patted the table and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Family, if you do such a disgraceful thing..."

Ouyang Shangshu frowned, and said displeasedly: "Why is teaching and educating people an insult to the family tradition?"

"But she's a woman..."

"You are also a woman!" Ouyang Shangshu cut off her words, and said seriously: "Don't say such things again, the future direct princess will not only teach in Yunlu Academy, but also in Qingxi Academy, and she will also teach after marrying into the royal family. I will continue to teach. The emperor and the queen mother deliberately set the wedding date in early August so that she would not miss class. You said that Qinger was insulting when she went to teach at Yunlu Academy, so who is the future direct princess? ?”

Old Madam Ouyang's face was flushed red, and annoyance flashed in her eyes.

Ouyang Shangshu sighed, patted her hand and said: "You have also been to the academy, you should know that the academy is not that complicated. Qing'er can make a difference, we should be proud of her."

Mrs. Ouyang is not proud at all. When a girl gets married, she should take good care of her husband and raise her children at home. There is nothing to do for her at home. She has to serve her in-laws, take care of the inner house, and manage her own dowry and her husband's family. Aren't these things?

How decent is it to go out to show your face, or even work for others like a craftsman?

It's a pity that the Ouyang family is still in charge of Ouyang Shangshu. Mrs. Ouyang can't object to what he agrees to. And Ouyang Qing is engaged and will get married soon, so the old lady Ouyang will not be able to control her anymore.

As for her parents-in-law, what Ouyang Shangshu told her was the son of a student under his school, and the student and his wife were generous, and their son was not only smart, but also not rigid in thinking.

Therefore, Mrs. Ouyang has nowhere to vent her anger, and has nowhere to use her strength, so she can only hold back.

Ouyang Qing happily went to teach at Yunlu College and became a Chinese teacher.

The courses at Yunlu Academy are not heavy, she only attends classes for half an hour every day, but her arrival seems to be an opening. Many students of Qingxi Academy, especially the students from the Women's Academy, like to go to Yunlu Academy for part-time classes. .

And the way they teach is also different.

The students of Yunlu College said that my Dachu culture is really extensive and profound, and I am a little bit familiar.

But this also broadens the students' minds a lot, and besides technology, their college relies most on innovation.

After Chu Yu finished her lecture, she routinely told everyone a story. Of course, this story will also involve words.

Because this class came to learn how to grow rice, Chu Yu told them a story about Shennong teaching the world to grow rice, and the word "rice" evolved.

After the students in the planting class had finished listening to the story, the bell rang outside, and the students got up to say goodbye to their husband.

A student brought a flower pot to Chu Yu, "Mr. Chu, this is the chrysanthemum I planted for you."

Seeing the full shape of the chrysanthemum, the petals were stretched, and the fragrance was wafting, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel happy, "It's a beautiful chrysanthemum, but it's just that I don't want to accept your gift for no reason."

"Isn't it almost Mid-Autumn Festival? This pot of chrysanthemums was carefully planted by the students. There are not many plants with the same flower shape as it. In the past six months, I have been taught by my master. As a student, I should give you a pot of chrysanthemums."

Other students also echoed, "Yes, Mr. Chu, please accept it. I heard that you literati love to appreciate flowers and compose poems. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, which is a good time to appreciate chrysanthemums. You can invite your classmates and friends to come together." Enjoy the chrysanthemums."

Chu Yu smiled, took the flower pot and said, "Then I will accept it."

The students said in unison, "Accept it, accept it."

When Chu Yu walked away with the flowerpot in his hands, everyone turned their heads to congratulate the student who delivered the flowers, "Ah Cai, congratulations, when Mr. Chu's classmates and friends see the flowers in his hands, there will definitely be someone coming I'll buy the rest from you."

"Ah Cai, when you make money, don't forget to treat us to delicious food."

"It's easy to say, I still have three pots of chrysanthemums. I guess I will have a few liang left after I sell them all and give the college a commission. Then I will spend a few hundred big money and let's go to the back street to eat delicious food." .”

"We packed up and went to other classes to see if they still say that our planting class is mud-legged and worthless."

"Yes, let them know that our planting team can not only grow rice, wheat and fruit trees, but also flowers. When I grow an orchid, I can earn him a hundred taels of silver for one pot. I envy them."

Everyone "cut" and said, "Liu Liu, don't waste the orchids. Tell me, did you plant all the orchids that the master gave you?"

Lao Liu puffed his cheeks and said, "I've been improving all the time. I'll see how you envy me when I find good orchids from the wild to grow mutated orchids."

Everyone laughed, "You can't even raise bluegrass, and you still want to breed a different species, so it's better to cultivate a mutant rice as the head of the mountain said."

"Various rice is also good, but it is a matter of great benefit. The head of the mountain said that if anyone can grow a special mutant rice, the academy will not only exempt them from training, but also reward them." Lao Liu sighed: "If I really can't grow orchids well, so I can only grow rice, anyway, I know how to grow this."

Everyone laughed. In fact, the students in their planting class are all planting rice and wheat, but apart from these two, they also have other learning objects. Various flowers such as plum blossoms and peonies, as well as fruit trees.

Because the husband said that if they want to major in this profession for a long time, they must learn another cash crop that can make money. Otherwise, they will only specialize in rice and wheat. In the future, they will either starve to death themselves or drag the college to death.
