Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 273: Founding of a Women's College

Everyone cheered: "Yes."

The man's face turned even redder, and he raised his thick fingers and said, "You're so cruel, I'll treat you."

The waiter came over and said, "The total is thirty taels and five cents. Just cut off the change and give me thirty taels."

"Thirty taels, are you robbing me?" another man yelled.

The waiter looked embarrassed. "Linzhou sheep are in short supply recently, but we have always offered fair prices. We are a small business and are determined not to raise prices. Because this lady ordered a lot, we gave her a discount. We thought it was a treat, but we didn't expect him to be in such a difficult situation."

The man was embarrassed and annoyed. He took out a fifty-liang silver note from his pocket and said, "Who said I can't afford it?"

The clerk cleverly picked up the banknote and looked at it. After confirming that it was genuine, he went to ask for change. Unfortunately, the business at the stall was not enough to make the change. Ye Youlan gestured to Dingxiang, who took out twenty taels and gave it to the man: "Here's your change."

The guy thanked me repeatedly.

"Could you please bake another twenty taels of skewers and send them to the palace and Lanke Embroidery Workshop respectively."

Ye Youlan and a few others were about to leave, but the man stopped them and said, "No way. I'm not one to suffer in silence."

Li Mu and others came over and drew their swords. The three men felt a chill in their hearts and had to step back to make way.

After Ye Youlan left, someone laughed at the three men: "Why do you dare to mess with the princess when you can mess with anyone else?"

The man was horrified: "What did you say, she is the princess?"

"Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, I immediately recognized that young woman as the Seventh Princess. I advise you to leave immediately, otherwise you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

When the three heard this, they stopped eating the barbecue and left in shame.

In the village outside the city, Xiao Bao was counting the number of people and found that three people were missing. Just as he was about to ask where those three people had gone, he saw three people rushing over, covered in dust.

Xiao Bao is a smart guy. They look like they are in trouble.

He asked the others to leave and stared at the three men in front of him who were stronger than him, asking them what had happened.

The leading man put on an apologetic smile, explained what had happened, and then raised his hand to assure, "I treated them. They ate for free, so they shouldn't take it to heart."

Xiao Bao glared at them and repeatedly reminded them not to go out unless necessary, and even if they went out, they should remember not to cause trouble, because this was the fiefdom of the Seventh Prince.

When the Seventh Prince and Li Zhi returned to the palace, they smelled the aroma of barbecue in the air.

"The princess is having a barbecue today, let's go over and take a look."

Just as he was about to go in, he heard a stranger's voice behind him: "I'm here to deliver skewers to the palace."

The Seventh Prince turned around and saw a waiter carrying two large food boxes and talking to the doorman.

Li Zhi went over and took the food box after understanding what was going on.

Then he talked to the Seventh Prince, who smiled and said, "Then share it with everyone!"

When the Seventh Prince returned to the room, he saw Ye Youlan with her long hair loose, writing something at the desk.

Hearing the noise, she looked up and saw the Seventh Prince coming in. She smiled, put down her pen, stood up and came over: "Have you eaten the mutton skewers?"

"I want to eat lamb kidneys."

Ye Youlan blushed. "There are too many people at the barbecue stall. I feel embarrassed to order. I'll grill a few just for you next time. Go to Master Ding's iron shop tomorrow and order an iron plate. I'll cook it just for you."

The Seventh Prince raised his hands and let Ye Youlan undress him.

"I don't want to be a little wife. I want to do it myself and have enough food and clothing."

The Seventh Prince did not force her and asked her what she was doing just now.

"I want to start a school specifically for girls, to teach them reading and writing, and labor skills. I'm designing the curriculum."

The Seventh Prince heard a new term and was very curious, so he wanted to see it.

Ye Youlan took his hand and walked to the desk. The Seventh Prince saw the format of the course schedule, which had times and course names. There were three courses: literacy, arithmetic, and physical fitness.

The Seventh Prince asked what this physical fitness was?

“It’s a skill that strengthens the body.”

Ye Youlan then told the Seventh Prince her idea: "This academy is not for cultivating talented women, but for helping them become literate, skilled in arithmetic, and self-sufficient. Each term will be 30 students, and the period will last three months. There is no tuition fee. We mainly recruit daughters from poor families. They live at the bottom of society and have no human rights at all. I want to use my own strength to help them."

"I support you."

Ye Youlan smiled, her eyes sparkling. "I knew you would support me. Teacher, I've thought it all out. I'll let Elder Li and Elder Chen take charge of literacy. I'll compile 2,500 commonly used Chinese characters and bind them into a booklet for easy teaching. For arithmetic, I'll ask Qiao Luochuan's father-in-law, Uncle Li. He's literate and a former shopkeeper, and I think he's particularly good with the abacus. For physical fitness, I'll have Li Zhi arrange for several guards to take turns teaching, mainly teaching the women some physical fitness and self-defense skills. Your Highness, is there anything else you need to add?"

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "Very good, but where is the academy located?"

"I saw a house near the martial arts school and bought it for a hundred taels. It can be used after a little renovation."

The Seventh Prince looked into Ye Youlan's eyes and said, "You are quite fast, but I feel that your intention is not just to teach women to read and write."

"clever."

Ye Youlan smiled, "Some of the guards and soldiers in the palace are already of marriageable age. I think they usually don't have the opportunity to interact with girls during training in the martial arts school, and they don't have families to worry about. So I want to create an opportunity for them, give the girls a chance to make their own choices, and also give the younger men a chance. If they start a family here, they will love this place even more and be more loyal to the prince."

The Seventh Prince didn't know what to say, so he could only hug the woman tightly to express his feelings.

"I'm going to reward you well."

Ye Youlan raised her eyes and begged for a different way?

The Seventh Prince whispered in her ear: "I let you go yesterday."

Ye Youlan glared with her almond-shaped eyes, biting her red lips as she said, "I will also start strengthening my body starting tomorrow, and I will reward you well then."

The Seventh Prince chuckled, his voice charming: "You always put it back tomorrow, why don't you practice!"

Ye Youlan pinched the Seventh Prince's waist and said, "You are not allowed to stop until I tell you to."

The Seventh Prince raised the corners of his mouth and his hands began to move restlessly.

The two fought fiercely for a long time that night. Ye Youlan completely let go of herself and tried all the positions she could think of. The Seventh Prince finally surrendered.

Ye Youlan whispered in his ear: "The fields can't be destroyed by plowing, but the cows will die of exhaustion."

Ye Youlan took a hot bath in the morning and went to prepare for her women's college in high spirits.

Li Zhi was waiting for the Seventh Prince in the side hall outside. He had said he would go out for an inspection outside the city today, but he couldn't wake him up even after calling him several times. He boldly entered the room and found the Seventh Prince slumped over on the bed, snoring soundly. He was sleeping soundly.

Li Zhi shook his head and had to retreat. It seems that I can't go today, so I'll go home and take a look!

Aunt Li and Li Zhu's wife were doing embroidery in the yard. When they saw their son suddenly come back, they stood up and asked if he wanted to eat.

"I've eaten at the palace."

Li Zhi took a look at the Guanyin figure embroidered by his sister-in-law. Why did it look familiar? He asked if it was a work done in the embroidery workshop.
