Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 233 I said I would not accept boys, so I would not accept boys

"Why would a girl go to school?"

"That's right. If you're going to school, you might as well get married early."

"My little girl is so stupid. Why should she go to school? Who will do the housework if she goes to school?"

"What's the point of girls going to school? Learning all those things won't make you an official. It's all a waste."

······

The people standing in the yard started talking at once, and every word they said was full of contempt for women, even though the people saying these words were also women.

Someone even had the guts to ask Xu Jinyu, "Princess, does your school accept boys? My kid is smart and looks like a good student."

Xu Jinyu shook her head and emphasized again: "My school only accepts girls."

“My daughter won’t go.”

As soon as Xu Jinyu finished speaking, a woman came and pulled her daughter away.

Even though her daughter looked at Xu Jinyu with longing eyes, she was still forcibly dragged away by the woman.

"Don't be impatient, first listen to what my school teaches."

"What do you teach?"

Xu Jinyu smiled slightly: "Cooking, making cakes, hairdressing, makeup, accounting, embroidery, cutting, carving, carpentry...all the ways you can think of to make money."

The woman who had just been holding her daughter's hand and walking away came back in a hurry, holding her daughter's hand.

If it was those complicated things taught in school, she would not be willing to let her daughter learn them, because there would be no great use in learning them.

Poor scholar, poor scholar, don’t you see that the master who passed the exam to become a scholar is also hungry and has to rely on his wife to embroider to supplement his income.

A girl can't take the exam to become a scholar, so it's useless and a waste of time for her to learn so many things.

But it would be a different story if the princess learned those things. In Daqian, having the skill of stirring a spoon would allow a girl to marry into a good family, not to mention embroidery, a skill that is generally not passed on to others. As long as one learns one of them, matchmakers coming to propose marriage to her home will come knocking on her door.

And before you get married, you can earn money at home.

As long as she can make money, she can even find a son-in-law for her daughter. Why marry her off to someone else for cheap? It’s better to keep the money she earns at home.

“And teach you how to make pastries!”

"Correct!"

"The kind of pastries you get in the capital?"

"Yes, even better than the pastries in the capital."

"Then my daughter will learn."

The woman threw her daughter back into the crowd, and this time she looked at her daughter with hope in her eyes.

The hope of getting rich.

【So simple? 】

[I haven't even launched a money attack yet, and you've given in so easily. ]

Seeing that this woman changed her mind so easily, Xu Jinyu was a little unconvinced.

Gao Yao smiled slightly. It must be easy for Her Royal Highness the Princess to acquire knowledge where she lives, otherwise she wouldn't have made such an exclamation.

If you want to learn something in Daqian, you have to be an apprentice, but you can beat and scold the apprentice at will. Even if you hurt someone, it’s just a matter of words. Also, during the apprenticeship period, the apprentice is the master’s free babysitter.

Running errands, fetching water, chopping wood, and even emptying chamber pots were all their jobs.

Even so, how much to teach depends on the conscience of the teacher.

If the master really doesn't teach anything, you can't blame him. The master can just say that your child is stupid or is not learning hard enough.

[Then can I save my little money? After all, there are subsidies when I am here. If I am gone, what will happen to these girls? ]

[No one can invest in a school without any return. If you want to invest, you should invest in a boys' school.]

Gao Yao took a deep breath, fearing that Xu Jinyu would say next that he would leave one day.

[I can't think that this school will fail if I leave. 】

[It's a happy decision, but in order to attract more people to school, should we add some bait to them? Let's do it!]

【By the way, find a way to raise funds for the school so that it can continue to operate. 】

【It’s so hard for me! 】

Xu Jinyu smiled slightly: "Not only these things, I will also pick out smart people to teach them medical skills and medicine making. As long as you are smart enough and work hard enough, I can also teach you how to make colored glaze."

"coax!"

The village chief's small courtyard immediately became lively.

"Learn! Learn! Let's learn!"

"Your Highness, please look at our daughter. She is very smart. Can you teach her how to make colored glaze?"

"And do you want to teach Frosted Sugar?"

"My daughter is also smart, and she can read."

·······

All the country folk knew how much money Liuli and Shuangtang made. When they heard that they could teach Liuli and Shuangtang, no one hesitated.

"but·······"

The villagers were stunned, but they immediately said, "Your Highness, please state any conditions you have, and we will definitely agree to them."

“However, half of the profits earned by these students during their school years must be handed over to the school.”

"no problem!"

The villagers almost unanimously agreed to this question.

“Can my son go?”

A villager who was watching the excitement from the outside anxiously pulled his son in.

"My son is very smart."

Xu Jinyu glanced at the boy who didn't even wipe his nose when the snot flowed into his mouth. How could he be smart?

"I emphasize again that this is a vocational and technical college for women. We do not accept boys."

"That's not fair!" the man who was holding his son retorted unconvinced.

"unfair!"

Xu Jinyu whispered, in ancient times, as a group of vested interests, they actually told her whether it was fair or not...

Xu Jinyu pressed the tip of her tongue against her teeth to prevent herself from accidentally cursing.

"I'm not a judge, so I don't care about whether it's fair or not. I'm just a princess, so I only care about girls. If you think it's unfair, go and talk to the emperor!"

"How dare I!"

The man's words burst out.

"If you don't dare, just bear with it!"

"Bah! You deserved it! I told you to drown your newborn daughter in the urine bucket. If that girl hadn't drowned, she would be old enough to go to school now." A woman nearby spat in disgust.

The days when you don’t have to go to work always go by quickly. These days Xu Jinyu has been busy with enrollment matters, and in the blink of an eye it is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Before nightfall, the entire capital city was already bustling with activity.

Xu Jinyu dressed up and went out with her sisters.

After nearly a year of self-cultivation, sister Xu Feiyu has already become like the charming girl in the book. When she walks down the street, you can see passers-by who are so fascinated by Xu Feiyu that they accidentally bump into the wall from a distance.

Xu Feiyu covered his face in embarrassment and whispered to Xu Jinyu: "Second sister, do you think I should wear the Mu Li?"

Xu Jinyu carefully looked at her adopted sister. She was wearing a red silk dress, and was pretty and elegant, with fair skin and a beautiful smile.

"No, you are so beautiful, why do you have to cover it up?"

Xu Yanran also echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! Big sister is so beautiful, why do you have to cover it up."

"Speaking of which, elder sister, you will be fifteen after your birthday. Do you want me to help you find a suitable husband?"

"Second sister~~"

Xu Feiyu stamped his feet. Who would talk like that in the street?

"Marriage is a big deal, there's nothing to be shy about."

"Yeah, there's nothing to be shy about." A voice from the side interrupted.

The three of them looked back and saw Ge Shiling and her fiancé Shen Ruzhuo. After the two met, they hit it off immediately and had a harmonious relationship. Their wedding date was set for next year.

Now that they are engaged, the two can go out and play openly.

that is·····

After Ge Shiling got engaged, she simply let herself go and wore men's clothes. With the handsome Shen Ruzhuo standing next to her, Shen Ruzhuo looked even more like a girl dressed as a man.

Ge Shiling patted Xu Feiyu's shoulder carelessly and said, "Ms. Xu, what kind of man do you want to find? I'll ask my mother to help you find one. My mother has information about all the unmarried men in the capital."

These were all collected by her mother for her, so there is no need to waste them.

Xu Feiyu blushed with embarrassment, but still shook her head: "I don't want to find one for the time being."

"I don't want to look for it." Ge Shiling pursed her lips regretfully.

"By the way, I heard from my father that there are envoys from Da Yue and Da Wu coming today. Did you know?"

From Dai Viet and Dai Wu?

It just so happened that Xu Jinyu planned to go to Dai Viet after the Chinese New Year to complete his mission.

[I just wonder if anyone from Dayue this time can get in touch with Princess Lingyue, so that I can go to Dayue to complete the mission.]
