Chapter 432: Shocked to Hear that My Mother is Illiterate
Now that Laicheng is at peace, the day for everyone to say goodbye to this small town is coming soon.
Looking at the newly built drill ground, kitchen and school, the people are very reluctant to leave.
Several black-armored soldiers were walking on the drill ground, thinking that they would not be used anymore, and were about to tear them down so that the people could use them for other purposes.
Seeing this, some people also put down their work and ran over to help.
At this moment, the sun was shining brightly.
Xiao Nuobao changed into a new set of clothes and was about to go out for a walk and plan his own fiefdom.
At this time, seeing that people were tearing down their hard work, the little guy's eyebrows became anxious, and he hurriedly picked up the big skirt and ran forward to stop them.
"Hail, Goddess, what?" The black-armored soldiers were stunned. "But Goddess, we are leaving soon, and no one will teach the people martial arts anymore."
Xiao Nuobao had already thought about it, and shook her head, "Who said that no one will teach the people anymore? If so, then wouldn't our efforts these days be in vain?"
She planned to spend a little money to hire one or two coaches from outside.
In short, the previous efforts cannot be interrupted.
The people of Laicheng were delighted.
"Goddess, do you mean that we can continue to practice martial arts?" A man shouted.
"What about the school? Can it continue to stay? If it stays, can we girls go there again?" Several girls aged seven or eight ran over and asked eagerly.
Seeing the expectant eyes of the crowd, Xiao Nuobao nodded decisively.
She had planned long ago to develop this small town.
Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, without worrying about food and clothing, so as not to let down the future offerings to her.
When the men, women, old and young heard this, they knelt excitedly and hurriedly greeted and thanked the little goddess.
Xiao Nuobao didn't like to speak in a pretentious manner. Her big pearl-like eyes curved into crescents, and she clapped her hands to let them stand up.
"Since you are the people of this goddess, the goddess will protect you."
"But you also have to abide by the law and do more good deeds. As for the rest, leave it to this goddess!" Xiao Nuobao said with his hands behind his back like a little adult.
So, from then on, the little guy was ready to make a big splash in the fiefdom.
Knowing that their sister was going to do something serious, Feng Jing and Feng Miao came to act as the left and right protectors and followed their sister to patrol the city.
Laicheng has a small population and a large amount of land, so there is enough arable land, so there is no need to worry about reclamation.
However, there are vacant shops and abandoned academies in the city, so opening schools and encouraging business have become the top priority.
Looking at those eager girls, Xiao Nuobao also plans to fulfill her promise and set up a girls' school first.
She thought of her sister Yin'er in the past, who was beaten several times by her husband's family, but she still dragged on until she was enlightened and finally escaped from the sea of suffering.
In fact, many women in this world are obviously not stupid.
But because they don't read books and don't understand reason, they are blinded by ignorance and live a miserable life.
Xiao Nuobao wanted the women here to be able to read and understand the world so that they could manage their lives well.
After making up her mind, Xiao Nuobao ran to ask her father for his opinion.
Mu Yihan had almost no hesitation.
"Since it is your fiefdom, let alone a girls' school, even if you want women to be officials, it is just a matter of your words."
Daddy's casual remark stirred up countless waves in Xiao Nuobao's heart.
Yes, she is a woman, she can be a goddess and save the people.
Then why can't other women take the imperial examinations, become officials, and live a more exciting life?
This thought became lingering in Xiao Nuobao's mind.
At this time, Mu Yihan's eyes showed tenderness, "Thinking back then, your mother had disguised herself as a man several times, trying to sneak into the academy to audit, but unfortunately she was later discovered by the teacher, who directly let the dog chase her away, chasing her and biting her for two streets. Later, she learned it to me, and she was always angry at the teacher for being pedantic."
Xiao Nuobao's eyes were moist and bright.
It turned out that her mother, like those eager little girls in Laicheng, wanted to study openly but couldn't.
It's no wonder, Xiao Nuobao suddenly recalled that when her mother was still alive, she was locked in the house by the Shen family and often wrote to relieve her boredom.
But her handwriting was always crooked, and she wrote the "糯" in "糯宝" as the "濡" that means to wriggle.
This made the mean Second Madam Shen mock Xiao Nuobao as a maggot from time to time, otherwise why would even her own mother write her as "濡"宝.
The little fat girl wiped her eyes, looked up and sighed, "So that's how it is, my mother is illiterate."
Mu Yihan almost spit out a mouthful of tea and patted her little head.
"That's not the case. Your mother still knows some words, but..." Mu Yihan's words were more tactful, "It's just too complicated and confusing."
With the regret that his mother couldn't go to school, Xiao Nuobao was more determined to change the rules for Laicheng.
So in the afternoon, a notice was posted at the entrance of Laicheng government.
It was written on it that from today on, all women in Laicheng can go to school!
Not only that, in the future, women in Laicheng with excellent grades can also participate in the provincial examination.
If they can get a rank, they can also seek a position in the officialdom of the city.
"What? Let women study and take the imperial examinations? What are we men supposed to do then?"
"Can women really become officials..."
"That's great! I'm dreaming!"
The men looked at the notice with a look of dejection.
The women were so happy that they tore off their skirts and threw themselves into the wind, hugging each other excitedly.
