The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 414 The Road Can’t Be Narrowed

In the car, Fan Xuanyu was playing cat's tack with a little girl next to him. The little girl was rescued by a kidnapper they encountered on the road.

I was very young when I was abducted and I couldn't remember anything. By the time I was seven or eight years old, I had already forgotten where my home was.

After being rescued, the little girl stayed in the caravan and followed them to Mu City.

There are several children like this little girl in the convoy, both boys and girls.

The wind blew up the curtain and then it fell down. Fan Xuanyu smiled and turned his head. The curtain had already fallen.

There were many people in the city, and in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, she tightened the loose curtains.

"elder sister."

Fan Xuanyu noticed the little girl approaching her, so she turned around and looked down at her grandmother who was leaning on her arm.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

The girl named A'ao had a timid look in her eyes. After entering the city, the noisy noises outside increased and she was a little scared.

"Sister, I'm afraid."

Fan Xuanyu sighed inwardly. This child was rescued from a kidnapper. He had been locked up in a cellar before and was not used to being in crowded places.

It was she who took the child's pulse at that time. After waking up, the child became extremely dependent on her, so she stayed in her carriage all the way and only got out occasionally to rest.

Even after getting off, he stayed near the carriage, as if he was afraid of being left behind.

"Don't be afraid, we will live here from now on."

"Really? Will Grandma always stay by my sister's side from now on?"

"Of course it's true."

Fan Xuanyu touched Grandma's dry and yellow hair. Her braid was a little loose after she had slept all the way, so he asked her to turn over and sit down, and then braided her hair into a small braid again.

"Would it be okay for Grandma and Baojie to study together in the academy in the future?"

“What is reading?”

Grandma didn't understand. She had only learned to eat with chopsticks and bowls these days. When she was at Grandpa's house before, they only had steamed buns and black cakes, and there were no bowls. Sometimes she only saw Grandpa and others eating from a distance, and she secretly learned it in her heart.

By the way, Big Daddy is the beggar, and he always lets the children in his arms call him that.

Fan Xuanyu's hands moved lightly and her braids were very beautiful and neat. She had a little sister at home and she often combed her hair when she was a child, so she was very skilled at it.

"Reading teaches us the rules and principles of this world, allowing us to see a wider world while sitting in the house. You will have many teachers to accompany you. In addition to studying, you will also learn a lot of knowledge. Grandma, do you like cooking? If you like, we can learn cooking. If you are more dexterous, we can learn housekeeping."

Grandma didn't understand what she was saying, and asked curiously, "What did you learn? Grandma wants to learn the same as you."

"It's so beautiful. Wear a pearl flower."

Fan Xuanyu put down the things in her hand and took out the pearl flowers given to these little girls by the students of the Needlework Academy from the box.

While she was putting the card in her hair, she replied, "As for me, I'm studying to be a female doctor. You don't have to learn from me. After you've been in school for half a year, you can study whatever you think suits you."

With the development over the past decade, the rules and regulations of girls' schools have been constantly improved.

It has evolved from a three-year program to a five-year program, and now to a seven-year program. After completing your studies, you'll need another three years of apprenticeship.

All students studying in girls' schools are not allowed to get married during their studies, but they can discuss marriage.

That is, after completing their studies, most of them would be seventeen years old. Seventeen was considered late for marriage in that era.

Some girls from ordinary families get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and some even get married at the age of twelve or thirteen.

It is precisely because of this that the school system has been continuously improved in recent years, to a certain extent "saving the country in a roundabout way".

The line of girls' students was very long, with ten horse-drawn carts alone carrying goods. There were a total of forty-seven people this time, plus nine children rescued on the road, for a total of fifty-six people.

This is only the first batch. Following them are students from the apprentice class and teachers who are in charge of the class. They are the second batch, purchasing supplies along the way and transporting them here.

I heard that the girl had learned it, and General Wang, who had not been seen all day, finally showed up.

President Liao met with General Wang in a house that had been prepared.

"General Wang must have received the news long ago. We are here to establish a girls' school in response to the Queen's order. We are here to educate the barbarians with literature and spread the rites and virtues of the Great Chu."

Dean Liao took out the imperial edict bestowed by the Queen and handed it to General Wang. General Wang bowed and took it, read it carefully before returning it.

"I've been so busy lately, and when Dean Liao came to town, I forgot to send someone to greet him. I'm so rude. I hope you won't blame me."

That sounds nice.

"Border town affairs are complicated, General, there is no need to be burdened by them."

Dean Liao replied indifferently and took a sip of the tea on the table.

General Wang exchanged a few more casual greetings and the two chatted for a while.

He felt somewhat suspicious because Dean Liao looked very amiable and nothing went wrong during the conversation.

When sitting there, his etiquette and posture were very proper, and every movement and expression seemed like a carved-out standard answer.

She has an impressive aura and doesn't seem like an ordinary female teacher.

In the few words that were exchanged between us, General Wang couldn't help but pay more attention to Dean Liao and the female student behind him.

Because I hadn't taken the girls' school issue seriously before, I didn't ask anyone to investigate.

"May I ask where Dean Liao was employed in the past?"

He asked cautiously, already having the answer in mind.

"General Wang, you're joking. I grew up in the palace. When I was young, I was taught by the late Empress Dowager. I later served as a maid to the Empress. Later, I followed Concubine Ning and was given to His Royal Highness Prince Chun as his head nanny. Now, the Princess is so kind and values ​​me, so she sent me to the Women's School to be a teacher."

Upon hearing this, General Wang's scalp felt numb. "Guide," "'little' palace maid?" "Madam in charge." What kind of legendary life is this?

This girl is not an easy student.

If he were an ordinary dean, he would just give his subordinates some convenience on a daily basis for the sake of Prince Chun and the Queen.

It’s not easy to fool him now. This man has served so many masters, and they are all the most noble people in the world.

General Wang broke out in a sweat, not because he was afraid, but because he felt it was very troublesome.

This female student must not be offended.

He is a general and will go to the front line if a war breaks out. He just needs to wait for the next officials to take office. There is no need to make trouble for himself.

When you return to the capital, you will be promoted and receive rewards. You should make things easier for yourself, but you must not narrow your path.

It is precisely because of this that he doesn't care about what's happening in the city.

He leaves all matters to his subordinates. His principle is to work hard when necessary and enjoy life when necessary.

When you go back, tell those two bastards under your command not to get involved.

Speaking of these two people, General Wang couldn't help but sigh. They both had backers, and he couldn't do anything about them. He could only restrain them a little.

In just a month or so, the new team of officials arrived.

Dean Liao witnessed the whole change of General Wang. The original female dean was not her, but another person, Gu Rui.
