Chapter 392 A lot of preparations were made for the opening of He Zijin's girls' school.
First, after the girls' school was packed up, they posted a message to relatives and friends, held a banquet, and invited everyone to come and visit; secondly, after the visit, each person was given a cake as a gift. , which also comes with an introduction to women's schools, various regulations for entrance exams, and requirements for recruiting students.
Yes, He Zijin did not impose too many restrictions on origin.
Women from merchants and government officials could come to study, but there would be an entrance exam.
In other words, the tuition fee would not be charged if you could afford it.
In addition, there is an introduction to the tuition fees.
The fees are quite impressive, costing two hundred taels of silver a year.
When many people saw the tuition fee column, they wondered if Mrs.
Jiang had no money to spare and came up with the idea of accepting bribes.
Of course, everyone has seen Mrs.
Jiang’s girls’ school.
It’s very well built.
Yes, the scenery and arrangement of the girls' school are also very good.
The tables and chairs are all made of jujube wood, which is quite exquisite.
It is quite inconsistent with the rumors that Mrs.
Jiang likes to buy second-hand furniture.
However, your fees are too expensive.
Even the governor doesn't have a salary of two hundred taels a year.
You're a female student and you dare to charge two hundred taels a year for tuition.
You're such a big talker.
Mrs.
Liu said privately, "I see Mrs.
Jiang speaking quite calmly on weekdays.
I don't want to be such a tacky person and only think about those stupid things."
Of course, the tuition for women's schools is not cheap, but He Zijin also said that you can try it out.
The first one to sign up was not a lady from an official family, but a girl from the local Gong family, a big salt merchant.
He Zijin was no stranger to this Gong family.
This was Yu Xing who spent half of the money on repairing the garden and later repaired the garden.
Those matters were taken over by the Gong family.
Since the Gong family is a salt merchant, Anian is in charge of it as a fellow acquaintance.
Perhaps for this reason, the Gong family was the first to support He Zijin's girls' education.
The second one was the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family who came over to sign up for Miss Zhou.
There are first and second, and there are third and fourth.
Moreover, there are definitely more merchants than officials who come to sign up.
Merchants have money, but what they lack are various connections, so they are happy to let their daughters go and get to know the daughters of officials.
As for the officials, there were more considerations.
For example, some of A-Nian's subordinates were happy to ask their daughter to have a relationship with the daughter of the Shangfeng family, so they went to register their daughter.
Of course, this must only be done by wealthy subordinates.
Not all subordinates are willing to spend 200 silver a year to send their daughters to a girls' school.
Many girls only get 200 taels as dowry when they go out.
Others, those with a higher official rank than Anian, have more things to consider.
Furthermore, there are also some very particular people.
When they hear that girls from merchants are admitted to girls' schools, families with high self-esteem are often unwilling to let their girls go to school in the same place as merchant girls, for fear of having a bad impact on the girls.
Of course, there is another type of person who speaks ill of female students, that is, their daughter failed the entrance exam and was dismissed.
Yes, everyone knew that there was an entrance exam, but they didn't expect that Mrs.

Jiang, Mrs.
Jin Shanchang, was serious about it.
She, she dismissed the daughter of the Wang family from the salt class.
Speaking of the promotion of the salt class, he was still from the fifth rank, half a rank higher than Anian.
He Zijin was very rude.
Those who knew about this secretly smacked their lips, thinking that Mrs.
Jiang was not a failure.
I'm crazy and stupid, I really want this female student to be a good student.
The main thing is that although He Zijin has not been in Beichang Mansion for a long time, everyone still knows a little about her behavior and they do not think that He Zijin is a reckless person.
He Zijin was not the only one who passed the Wang family.
He also passed all those who failed the entrance exam.
In the end, only fifteen students were admitted.
The ones with the highest backgrounds were A Xi and Miss Zhou.
The third girl, He Qidu, said, "I just hate that Axi is the only girl in our family."
The words of the two of them were not entirely superficial.
They both really wanted a daughter, but they couldn't give birth to a daughter.
What can I do?
Even Mrs.
Jiang, who always thought her family was small, said, "It would be great if I had a little granddaughter.
She could go to school with Axi and have a little sister as a companion.
It would be great."
Mrs.
He, who has a granddaughter, felt superior after hearing this and said to Mrs.
Jiang, "It is best if the first one is a girl.
Girls become sensible early and can help take care of the younger brothers and sisters."
Mrs.
Jiang said, "Who doesn't know what the old lady said?
I'm also looking forward to it, but this doesn't come just by looking forward to it."
Mrs.
He laughed loudly, and Mrs.
Jiejiang said, "Don't say this.
Before Aqi was born on the Double Ninth Festival, you were kneeling at the temple in our county, begging Aqi to add a grandchild to your family."
Mrs.
Jiang couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't it because I didn't have any grandchildren before?
Now I have three grandchildren.
What does it matter if I have a granddaughter?"
Speaking of having three grandchildren, Mrs.
Jiang Very confident and proud.
Mrs.
Jiang and Mrs.
He, both grandmothers with three grandchildren, had a great discussion about the future.
Madam He was still very concerned about the female students in her girl film.
At first, she heard that there were not many people who signed up, so she was afraid that no one would go.
Later, she heard that only fifteen people had been recruited.
Madam He also muttered, "There are only three or two kittens like this." , is there anything "What's the use?"

However, when she heard that the annual tuition fee was two hundred taels, Mrs.
He counted her fingers, and her fingers began to tremble.
She also asked Grandma Yu, "One is two hundred, fifteen is three thousand."
Ah, Ayu, my calculation was correct, right?"
Aunt Yu nodded, "That's right."
Then, Mrs.
He started to tremble all over, she bit down the tip of her tongue to calm down, and sent the little maid out of the room.
Mrs.
He then secretly calculated the income of this girl's school for one year on the film of her own girl.
In the end, Mrs.
He concluded that she could recoup the cost of just one video of her girl.
He Lao Niang felt that her girl was going to make a fortune from the movie, and she was very happy.
She felt that she was worthy of being a girl who had been taught by herself.
She was really good at living, okay?
If Mrs.
He thinks this way, you can imagine what people outside think.
As we all know, Li Shenzheng's husband and wife, the Ouyang family, are the most cheerful.
Once, Mrs.
Ouyang saw He Zijin and asked him directly, saying, "They say it's hard to make money in a women's school like yours.
Nowadays, many people want to set up a women's school.
It doesn't have to be like you, 200 taels a year, or 50 taels a year.
They are also happy."
He Zijin smiled and said, "Fifty taels a year, this is the annual salary of the nun in charge of my academy."
Mrs.
Li couldn't help but said, "It's more than the salary of a county magistrate."
He Zijin smiled and said, "The big shopkeepers of those shops earn more than a hundred taels a year.
In terms of wealth, merchants are the first, but in terms of wealth, officials are the first.
This is because the things that the nuns in charge of women's schools are responsible for are relatively different.
There is more, so the moon silver is slightly more.”
The nanny in charge has this kind of money, so you can imagine how much money the female gentlemen who teach in girls' schools have.
Mrs.
Li smiled and said, "It's strange to say that it's hard to find good female gentlemen in Beichang Mansion nowadays.
I think all the good ones have been won over by you."
He Zijin smiled and said, "Madam, you praise me too much."
Of course, He Zijin did not deny that she really put a lot of energy into the female gentleman.
Nowadays, even if some families run girls' schools, He Zijin doesn't believe that they can find better female teachers than his own girls' schools.
Mrs.
Li smiled and said, "This is your ability.
There is no need to praise it."
Mrs.
Li had something to say to He Zijin and wanted her two granddaughters to go to a girls' school to try out for a while.
He Zijin agreed and said, "We need to let the two girls take the exam at Aunt Ji's place first."
Mrs.
Li has a straightforward temperament and a cheerful person.
She did not feel dissatisfied and said with a smile, "Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Jiang is really selfless."
He Zijin said, "The parents of the students all agree with the entrance examination.
In fact, it is not to distinguish the children.
It is just that this school is not an enlightenment school for girls.
Some are really young and have not reached the age suitable for admission. , so you have to wait.
Otherwise, if you go and fail to follow what the female teacher said, it will make the child feel uncomfortable. " "That makes sense."
Mrs.
Li said, "My two granddaughters have also studied for two years since they were young, so they are not afraid of taking exams."
He Zijin said with a smile, "Looking at Madam's character, you can tell what kind of characters the two Miss Li are.
I want them to take the test, and it will also stop some villains' mouths and save a lot of gossip."
Mrs.
Li laughed, waved her hands and said, "Take care of those villains."
Having said that, Mrs.
Li insisted on sending her two granddaughters to the school in person that day.
Mrs.
Li sent her granddaughters in person to meet the aunt of the girls' school and take a look at the girls' school in person.
She is not afraid of spending money, but she can't throw it away in vain.
The important thing is that if her granddaughter goes to school, money is still a small matter.
If she doesn't do well in school, it will be a big deal if she delays her granddaughter.
However, as soon as she saw Aunt Ji, Mrs.
Li felt relieved.
She came from a family of high-ranking officials and had excellent eyesight.
As soon as she saw the way Nanny Ji behaved and spoke, Mrs.
Li knew that she must be an old nanny who came from the palace.
Moreover, even the nuns who came out of the palace, there are also three, six or nine grades.
If you can practice to the point where Nun Ji is neither humble nor overbearing, and behaves leisurely, she is definitely not an ordinary nun.
Grandma Ji very gently asked the two Miss Li some questions about their daily study courses, and then asked Mr.
Zhou to take the two Miss Li to take the exam.
Nanny Ji chatted with Mrs.
Li.
Mrs.
Li was not worried about her granddaughter's exam.
She told Nanny Ji about the problems of her two granddaughters and said, "The eldest girl is too considerate and tolerant of everything." .
The second girl has some problems.
Her eldest sister has a good temper, and she likes to be the best in everything.
It would be better if the temper between the two of them is too tolerant. , I will be wronging myself in the future.
As for the pointed ones, I was used to being top-notch when I was young, but there are always some people who are better than others in this world.
If I don’t change this temper now, I am worried that there will be many children in the school now. , let them join the group of ladies, even if you are a mama, I would like to ask you, mama, to help me control the temper of these two girls. " Aunt Ji smiled and said, "Children's temperaments are either innate or acquired.
As my wife said, it's good to join a group.
Girls are spoiled at home, but when they go to school, they get to know people with different temperaments.
Girl, it’s also a test for your temperament, Madam said. , I have made a note of it, and will pay attention to the temperaments of the two girls.
The female teacher in our school will guide them carefully, and the wife will also pay more attention to them at home.
Character is more important than knowledge, so virtue is more important than merit. 1.
In my opinion, the word virtue comes from each person’s temperament.”
Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Li nodded slightly, agreeing very much with what Nanny Ji said, and said, "What Nanny said is true.
In a girl's family, temperament is the most important thing.
She has a good temper and a good mind.
As long as she lives her life, she can learn anything.
It’s too late.
I’m afraid that at such a young age, they would put trivial matters first and neglect the most important things.”
Mrs.
Li and Aunt Ji got on very well with each other, so He Zijin simply let them talk while she went to the girls' school to have a look.
In school, everyone eats lunch together, and He Zijin does not encourage students to bring their own meals.
Moreover, she charges students two hundred taels of silver in tuition fees a year, which is naturally not in vain.
They are also very attentive to the students.
Even when it comes to food, they will be asked to write down the foods they don’t like and try to avoid them as much as possible.
At noon, He Zijin saw that Mrs.
Li had not left yet, so he simply invited Mrs.
Li to the restaurant to have a meal.
The restaurant was very elegantly tidied, with several tables and chairs, and several pots of red wine on the scattered high and low flower stands around it. , the faint fragrance of cold plums hits you as soon as you enter the door.
Every girl is only allowed to bring one maid to serve.
He Zijin will eat whatever the students eat.
There is also a nun in charge of the restaurant.
The nun in charge eats the food here first and then the students eat it.
When Ah Xi saw her mother, she winked quietly and went over to greet her mother, "Hello, Mr.
Shan."
He Zijin smiled and said, "Hello A Xi."
When the girls saw Mr.
He Shanchang, they all came over to greet him.
He Zijin waved his hand and asked them to do what they wanted.
The girls went to order their own meals, and the food orders were different every day.
In fact, at this moment, the girls are really willing to eat in school, for no other reason than that their parents are expert at planting, and they have fresh vegetables for every meal.
In this cold winter, not everyone has fresh vegetables to eat.
After He Zijin ordered his own lunch, Mrs.
Li also ordered it.
Mrs.
Li saw that it basically consisted of three dishes and one soup.
Of course, the dishes and soups were ordered by each person.
If you want to be vegetarian, you can eat vegetarian.
If you want meat, you can eat meat.
If it's not enough, you can order more.
But for the first time, I could only order three dishes and one soup, so as to avoid waste.
Since the girls are not very young, the tableware is all small and delicate, and the quality is good.
Mrs.
Li tried her lunch and it was not bad.
After lunch, Mrs.
Li said goodbye to He Zijin and said with a smile, "I will leave the child to you."
He Zijin smiled and said, "Madam, just don't worry."
He Zijin really didn't run this girls' school to make a lot of money.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
She just wanted to find some playmates for A Xi, and some, so she tried her best.
She is not the kind of person who can stir up troubles by just walking in, nor is she that talented.
However, when she can do something like this, she is willing to do her best to set up a small girl's house.
Let those keen and forward-looking people see that girls can also go to school.
He Zijin's girls' school is a bit tepid, but basically, the female students who enroll may not notice it themselves, but their families can.
The children's etiquette and conversation are changing little by little, and the people they get to know There are so many ladies, even if some of them are ladies from merchant families, as long as they are not so jealous and short-sighted, after thinking about it, I understand that even if the ladies from merchant families are of lower origin, as long as they have good character, they will be good.
Worth handing over.
Furthermore, this is just in school now.
In the future, who can guarantee that girls from each family will not have to deal with merchant families when they get married?
Dealing with people of different classes and statuses is also one of the children's homework.
He Zijin runs a girls' school here, and Chongyang came here to have a lesson with his aunt.
This kid is a coward and wants to go in and visit.
He Zijin held his ear and said, "Quickly stop that idea for me." , you don’t think about it” Chongyang sighed and saved his ears, and explained his dream, "I want to learn from my aunt."
"What do you want to learn to be a good student?
Go to school.
Your mother is worried about your studies."
He Zijin said with a straight face, using his aunt's attitude to scold Chongyang.
"I study very hard, but I don't know why.
Dabao Aye and the others memorized it after reading it a few times.
I had to read it for half a night before I could memorize it.
I can calculate accounts quickly, and Dabao is not as good as me."
Chongyang mingle In the past, the man who served tea and water served Aunt Zijin and said, "Aunt, I don't want to offend my sisters in school.
Aunt doesn't know my heart.
I also want to make some contributions to my classmates."
No waiting He Zijin asked, and Chongyang said, "My aunt has opened a girls' school here.
Although I have never been to the girls' school in person, it opened my eyes to hear what sister Axi said. , they just have the skills to do their homework Auntie, you are really a capable person.
Your girls’ school offers more lessons than ours.
I heard from Axi that there are also riding and archery courses.
The horse riding courses are not available yet, but there are archery courses.
Yes, isn’t it?”
Aunt Zijin nodded very reservedly and said modestly, "This is nothing."
"It's nothing.
We don't have riding and archery in our serious school."
Chongyang said and sighed, "Although I am not the material for reading, I still think about the courses in the school now.
They are all designed for the future imperial examinations, and how many people pay attention to the Six Arts of the Gentleman that were designated by Saint Confucius back then?
I am very worried about this."
As he said that, his face that was still a bit immature sighed with regret.
Voice.
Seeing Chongyang's pretentious look, He Zijin felt very funny in his heart, but on his face he just pretended not to know, and said, "Chongyang, my aunt has underestimated you in the past, but I didn't expect you to be so broad-minded."
He wondered if it was Chongyang.
Do you want to open a talent class or something?
Chongyang hurriedly said, "Where is it?
I never thought like this before.
It was all because of the influence of my aunt's actions that I finally realized this."
Tsk, even those who didn’t know it after enlightenment thought that this kid was going to become a Taoist priest.

He Zijin still didn't fall for Chongyang's hook and said with a smile, "You kid, it's good if you have such thoughts.
You are still young.
It's good for adults to worry about these things.
I'll send someone to talk to your uncle and grandpa tomorrow.
Your uncle is in charge of the school, so he can set up a complete curriculum for the Six Arts of the Gentleman."
As soon as Chongyang heard this, he was speechless and couldn't help but sigh, why didn't he think of his uncle and grandpa?
Oh, his aunt is such a thief.
Chongyang said quickly, "Why bother uncle and grandpa?
Such a trivial matter is too much trouble."
"Alas, the school has a complete curriculum for the Six Arts of Gentleman, how can he hold classes?
"What's the trouble?
You are the future of the family.
For you, no matter how troublesome it is, it's nothing."
He Zijin sipped his tea with a smile and asked Chongyang, "Are you okay?"
What else could be going on during the Double Ninth Festival?
Aunt Zijin was able to stop him before he even said anything about it.
Moreover, Aunt Zijin’s idea was obviously more settled once and for all, more comprehensive and appropriate than his little calculation.
On the Double Ninth Festival, I returned home like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Of course, I murmured with Ah Ye for a while before going home.
He Zijin doesn't care about knowing what's going on with these little guys, so just let them murmur.
He Zijin personally went to her mother's house to talk to her father about the Six Arts of the Gentleman in the government studies.
He Zijin said, "Although the imperial examination is important, now only the Four Books and Five Classics are tested, not the Six Arts of the Gentleman, but the children can learn a little bit."
There’s nothing wrong with it, you can’t just study the Four Books and Five Classics, it’s too narrow.”
He Gong thought about it and found it reasonable.
After thinking about it for a few days, he drafted an article and wrote it to Master Chengtixue.
Actually, these adults rarely say they are greedy or anything like that when they take office.
Du Tixue is still an old man when Governor Yu was in office, and he is not greedy.
He Gong took the clerkship, and Du Tixue personally went to the Fu School to have a look, and came back to hold a department meeting.
He Gong's opinion was good, but the Fu School family was easy to talk about, and there were several counties down there.
Moreover, the Six Arts of the Gentleman, Everyone has to have a husband.
Since you have a husband, it’s another expense.
Not to mention, where does the money come from?
These are all questions.
He Gong was quite busy now.
He went to see Aunt Zijin a few days after Chongyang Festival.
He discussed with Aunt Zijin that he also wanted to set up a college.
As soon as these words came out, Ah Nian, a prodigy, was startled.
Ah Nian said straight away, "I misjudged the Double Ninth Festival.
You have great ambitions on the Double Ninth Festival."
In ancient times, those who ran academies and preached and taught were all saint-like figures.
Even now, not to mention that his sister Zijin has a reputation as a virtuous person.
Of course, his sister Zijin runs a girls' school and can be ignored.
Even now, anyone who can be the president of an academy is a well-known local person.
At the age of Chongyang, he wanted to set up an academy.
His ambition was really not small.

Chongyang waved his hands repeatedly.
After all, he was young.
Although he had a certain thickness of face, he couldn't bear the teasing of his elders.
Chongyang said, "Uncle, please don't laugh at me.
I don't run this kind of academy like my aunt.
I just want to run an academy."
I don’t know if an academy that teaches people a certain skill will be successful.”
A Nian had never heard of such an academy in the world.
When he thought about it for a moment, He Zijin's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, isn't this a technical school?
He Zijin asked first, "Where did the idea of Chongyang come from?"
Chongyang said honestly, "I think people nowadays want to learn a skill, so they first find a shop and become an apprentice.
They work as apprentices for four or five years, then become clerks, and then wait until they become stewards, stewards, and shopkeepers.
In fact, apprenticeships are Where does it take four or five years?
I see some Things are not difficult.
In the past four or five years, most apprentices have been asked to do odd jobs.
If they study seriously, they can learn it in less than half a year.
Therefore, I thought that opening an academy to teach people a skill would make it faster.
I can also benefit from learning technology. ” He accidentally told the truth, and Chongyang was very frightened, fearing that his aunt and uncle would sue his mother.
Anian said, "Don't rush this matter.
Let me think about it first.
This is not an ordinary matter."
Chongyang nodded quickly, "I know that this skill is what everyone eats.
Usually there are people who are willing to pass on their jobs."
A Nian smiled, "As long as you understand this, you have already thought about this matter, so don't hide it from your father.
We will help you think about it at home, and you can talk to your father about it when you go home."
As soon as Chongyang heard this, he knew there was a way, so he happily agreed and went to play with Aye and Axi.
That day, Chongyang had dinner at my aunt’s house.
At night, A Nian said with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, the children have all grown up."
"Yes, this kid Chongyang is quite spiritual."
He Zijin smiled, "I don't know how he came up with it.
This is indeed a good idea."
"It's a good idea, but it's not easy to do it."
He Zijin frowned, "What I'm worried about is not whether this can be done.
What I'm worried about is that once the school opens in Chongyang, how many masters' jobs will be cut off."
Anian said, "How can one lose one's job?
Let's not talk about how far Chongyang can achieve this.
Furthermore, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have low status, and Chongyang just wants to cut off other people's jobs.
He has no one at his disposal right now and wants to open an academy.
He wants to find someone to be his teacher.
So I say that although his idea is good, it is extremely difficult to make it big if he can only do it in a small way and no one will take him seriously. " He Zijin smiled and said, "I think too much."
"Sister, you have always been attentive.
You are young on Chongyang Festival.
As elders, we naturally have to think more carefully."
"Then do you think the Double Ninth Festival will be successful?"
A Nian smiled and said, "That's a good idea.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It's too difficult to do things alone for a long time.
You have helped others, and they will help you.
Tell Chongyang to go ahead and do it.
This child has a broad heart.
People are also smart.”gd1806102:
