Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Of course, there is no point in even thinking about talking about 'gender equality' here. Shangguan Qingyue thought for a moment and replied:

"It is common for men to work outside and women to work inside in wealthy families, but in our countryside, which woman doesn't do the same farm work as men?

Not only do they need to work in the fields, but they also have to take care of a lot of household chores.

As the saying goes, "more skills are better than less." Since we have the conditions and have invited female teachers, why not let them study?"

"That's right! Ever since our three villages started holding the tour, how could other villages not be envious? It's easier for men and women of marriageable age to get married in our village than in other villages, and most of the families who come to propose marriage are well-off.

So, we three old guys can’t be too old-fashioned, and we should not miss anything that is beneficial to the village.”

"But what if the girls gain more experience and become arrogant and develop the wrong desire to climb up the social ladder?

This woman, I'm afraid her ambition is higher than the sky, but her life is thinner than paper!"

Zhao Fugui also disagreed a little. He had never heard of any girl who had to study and learn to read, and it couldn't be used to make a living.

Humph, are you afraid that girls are too good and will no longer look down on those uneducated, lazy and useless people? Shangguan Qingyue was furious when she heard this and wanted to refute, but she felt powerless.

Fu Qiuyang, who was joining in the fun, suddenly said:

"I'm afraid the two village heads have some misunderstandings. It's your freedom to let anyone you want to study in school. We in Xiangxue Village will never force you. As long as the tuition is enough and the children are obedient and sensible, that's enough."

Li Shoucai felt relieved when he heard the words "our Xiangxue Village". Brother Fu is a good kid! He patted the two heads of the village beside him and said:

"Haha, you two can rest assured! We have no objection. After all, everyone has their own considerations."

After hearing what the two said, Zhao Fugui and Qian Guangjin became a little hesitant. If they really did this, would they regret it in the future?

"I will explain this matter to the villagers after I return to the village. If there are any who are willing to let their daughters come to the village to study, I will not stop them."

……

After sending the three away, Shangguan Qingyue looked at Fu Qiuyang and said:

"Brother Fu is really smart. He used the tactic of 'retreat to advance' very well!"

Fu Qiuyang said seriously:

"Little girl, don't take everything too seriously, otherwise it will become a weakness for others to attack you. We should avoid such thankless tasks if we can."

Shangguan Yun stared blankly at the man in front of her, her heartbeat suddenly speeding up. She didn't expect that the man who was always smiling and playful or charming would suddenly become so serious...

She didn't dare to think about it any further, she stood up suddenly and said:

"Yuer, Master Fu, I still have to go up the mountain, you guys chat."

Watching her elder sister leaving in a panic, Shangguan Qingyue looked at the man in front of her meaningfully. She seemed to see the budding of love.

Fu Qiuyang put away his fan, tapped the girl opposite him on the head, and said:

"What's that look in your eyes? I didn't offend your good sister. I don't know what's wrong with her. She wants to run away when she sees me.

Tsk tsk, you have no taste, I wonder how many girls are surrounding me!"

Before Shangguan Qingyue could roll her eyes, she saw Xiao Shitou coming back laughing.

"Has our little fairy boy returned from piano lessons? Come quickly, I left half of the can for you."

Little Stone smiled brightly, handed Shangguan Qingyue a very delicate box, and said:

"Ruoxi, this is given to you by your master. Apply it twice a day, and the wound will heal quickly without leaving scars. Your master is biased. When he saw me go alone, his face turned black as the bottom of a pot.

I accidentally cut my finger on a guitar string today, and he actually took out a porcelain bottle and said it was for you, totally ignoring me!"

Looking at the angry look of the little boy, Shangguan Qingyue pinched his little face lovingly and said:

"Then I'll give it to you secretly. Anyway, the master can't see it. Our little fairy child is the cutest. The master is actually a hard-mouthed but soft-hearted person. We should not judge people by appearances alone. What do you think?"

She picked up the box and was about to open it, but she accidentally discovered that the material of the box seemed very unusual. It was actually made of jade? !

Fu Qiuyang made a sound of clicking his tongue.

"Oh, this person from the capital is very particular. He even uses a jade box to put the ointment as a gift. At a glance, the jade is of high quality. It seems that the ointment inside must be very valuable! Your husband is really generous to you."

As soon as you open the lid, a fresh fragrance wafts out.

"Little fairy boy, go wash your hands, and I'll apply medicine on you when you come back."

Little Stone immediately put his hands behind his back and shook his head.

"Ruoxi, this is what the master gave you. I'm a man, I'm not that delicate!"

After saying this, fearing that Shangguan Qingyue would refute him, he quickly turned around and ran to the donkey shed, picked up the donkey Xiaohua, jumped onto its back and ran out.

"Ruoxi, I'm going to school now. I guess I'm the only one who hasn't gotten my school uniform yet. See you later!"

Shangguan Qingyue shook her head helplessly. Although this child seemed naughty, he was actually delicate and sensitive. He was always cautious for fear of doing something inappropriate and causing his family to dislike him.

The more he acted like this, the more Shangguan Qingyue loved him. She became more determined to adopt the child as her adopted son in the future.

The little kid who grew up under my care cannot be allowed to get away with it.

……

Three days later, Shangguan Qingyue went to the village school with all the children in the village.

She had only learned to read with Zhou Xiaonan, and she was not used to using a brush, so her handwriting was crooked and ugly. Therefore, setting up a girls' class in the village school was also for her own benefit.

Unexpectedly, not long after she entered the classroom, she was poured with a basin of cold water.

Liu threw the "Thousand Character Classic" aside, and what she held in her hand was actually "Instructions for Women"!

It was also the first time she knew that the "Instructions for Women" was actually composed of seven parts, namely, "Humbleness", "Husband and Wife", "Respect and Caution", "Women's Conduct", "Concentration", "Submission", and "Uncle and Sister".

The main discussion is about the three major relationships that women need to handle in their husband's family: respect and obedience to their husbands, submission to their uncles and aunts, and harmony with their uncles and sisters.

This doesn't sound like a good thing, it's definitely a mental poison!

Shangguan Qingyue spent so much effort and finally got most of the girls in the village to attend the school. Even ten families in Shuying and Fangfei villages sent their daughters here.

So that they can have the opportunity to read, gain knowledge and change their destiny.

In the end, they actually invited a person who was deeply poisoned by feudal ideas to brainwash these girls and make them proud to be a man's appendage? ? ?

Ridiculous!

Looking at the girls around her who were wearing the same pink scholar's gown and had obviously taken good care of themselves from head to toe, she opened her eyes full of desire, looked at the podium seriously with some confusion and ignorance, and listened to Liu's endless talk about "husband is the heaven".

Shangguan Qingyue's anger had reached its peak.

"Shangguan Qingyue! Why aren't you paying attention in class? It's not proper to look around!"

Liu's clear but sharp voice came from the front, shocking the girls so much that they dared not breathe. They quietly glanced in the direction of Shangguan Qingyue, not knowing how to react.

"I know I was wrong. I really shouldn't have been distracted and looked around. But there is one thing I don't understand. Please enlighten me, sir."

Shangguan Qingyue stood up from her seat calmly, without a trace of panic. Zhang Da Niu beside her looked at Liu with a vigilant look, as if to say, "Just try to provoke my young lady."

Liu frowned. There were countless families in the county who asked her to be a female teacher. She was able to condescend to come here only for the sake of the county magistrate. This young lady from the Shangguan family didn't respect her at all!

With the intention of suppressing the other party's arrogance, she said coldly:

"I can help you solve your doubts, but before that, you need to accept the punishment first. I know you are of a special status, and your family seems to have contributed a lot to the establishment of this village school. However, if you do something wrong, you will be punished, and you are no exception.

"Since this is your first offense, I will only give you ten slaps on the hand. If you do it again, I will never let you off easily!"
