Meng Shuyan was stopped as soon as she arrived at the gate of Songshan Academy.
"Whose little kid is this? This is the academy, you can't just barge in. Go play somewhere else."
The gatekeeper naturally saw the guard following behind Meng Shuyan, but this was Songshan Academy, and most of the people inside were sons and daughters from dignitaries, so he was not afraid of the guard at all.
"I'm a parent invited by the teacher for Class C. I'm the aunt of Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou. Why don't you go and ask them?"
Meng Shuyan smiled and told the gatekeeper the general idea.
The gatekeeper never expected that the little girl who looked only about six years old was actually the elder of the students inside, and was here for a parent-teacher meeting?
When he heard the little girl even say her name, he decided to go and ask.
Who made that lovely little girl call him sir?
"I didn't expect that at such a young age, you're still an elder. Okay, wait a minute, little girl. I'll go ask you."
It was only when her two nephews were admitted to Songshan Academy that Meng Shuyan learned that Songshan Academy was established by a female official of the previous dynasty and that women could also study there.
It has been used till now and has branches in many places across the country.
Songshan Academy is a coeducational academy, but the men's and women's halls are separate.
Therefore, she specifically asked her uncles that there are no female officials in the court now. It’s not that they have been withdrawn, but that there are no capable people to take the responsibility.
However, in the long run, it is estimated that there will be no female officials in the future.
But now women who are educated or even have the ability can also take the imperial examinations, but there are no women who can make a breakthrough.
Those families who could allow their daughters to go to school were basically wealthy and powerful. They all thought that it was easier and more economical for daughters to marry into a good family than to work hard for imperial examinations and become officials. So they just studied casually, learned some reading, music, chess, calligraphy, and accounting, and then they were basically married.
In addition, in many places, the women's department of Songshan Academy was directly cancelled because there had been no women studying there for a long time.
There are only three women's homes left now.
Meng Shuyan was extremely excited when she learned that women in this dynasty could also study and take imperial examinations.
Her family is also planning to send her here to study.
She deliberately didn't need to take the examination to be admitted; it was just a matter of a word from the palace.
Moreover, all the women in the academy entered through the back door, and none of them passed the Tongsheng examination.
But Meng Shuyan is not afraid even if she has to take an exam.
Although she was an agricultural scholar in her previous life, she passed the exam with her own hard work. It should not be difficult for her to become a student here.
But they didn't want to attract attention, so the Meng family discussed with the princess and the prince and decided to let him in directly.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
The palace originally planned to let her study, not because they wanted her to become an official or something, but because her intelligence could not be buried, and she herself liked to read all kinds of books.
Everyone thinks she is a good student.
The gatekeeper of the academy came out and invited Meng Shuyan into the academy with a smile.
At first, this person didn't know the identity of this little girl, but when he saw Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou, he knew that she was the granddaughter of Prince Ning's Mansion who had been rumored in recent years, so he responded politely.
I also found a guide for him.
After all, the academy is not small. If the master and servants are allowed to go in by themselves, they may not be able to find the place.
"Thank you!"
Meng Shuyan thanked him and followed the servant who led the way into the academy.
As soon as you come in, you can see the atmosphere of the academy everywhere. The greenery is neatly maintained, and soon you can hear the sound of students reading.
When I got to the classroom, I could see the students shaking their heads through the open windows, which was quite touching.
"Girl, this is Class C.
The room next to it is where the gentlemen from Class C handle their business. You can just go there and explain your purpose."
The servant who led the way pointed to a classroom for Meng Shuyan to see. The words "Bing Xiao" were engraved on the door of the classroom.
Meng Shuyan understood that the room next to her was the gentlemen's office.
"Thank you!"
"Miss, you are so polite. I will withdraw first."
"good."
When Meng Shuyan went to the teachers' office, she had to pass by the door of Class C. There were students who were not studying well inside. They looked out and saw a little girl. They were very curious.
Meng Shuyan attracted the attention of many students, and the teacher on the stage was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
After taking a look at the instigator, Meng Shuyan, he didn't have a good impression of her either.
This girl is really rude. She must be taking advantage of her family connections to do whatever she wants. He really hates her.
But I'm in class now, so I'll just ignore it. Someone will see it and deal with it.
Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou also saw their aunt, and the heavy stone in their hearts fell.
"Meng Liqian, please explain what you meant by that statement."
The gentleman gets angry and attacks anyone he sees.
Meng Shuyan heard the teacher calling her name and walked into the teacher's office without even looking.
As soon as I walked in, I heard someone inside say impatiently, "You really think you're a big shot. You're really wasting my time. I have something important to do soon!"
"If you ask me, it's just that the two Meng kids are bullying others by taking advantage of their power. What else is there to say?"
Meng Shuyan frowned. Who is this person?
This should be the parent of the child who fought with my nephew and his friends.
"Where did this little brat come from? Songshan Academy really lets everyone in these days, making the once peaceful academy a mess."
Meng Shuyan didn't see the teacher and didn't know where he went. It seemed she had to wait for a while.
She was too lazy to talk to that person, but the guards behind her stared at the man who spoke rudely, and the man who was stared at did not dare to speak.
Now he could only mutter in his heart, what a hell.
After about a cup of tea, an old man in his forties or fifties came in.
As soon as he entered the door, his eyes turned to Meng Shuyan.
"This girl must be the aunt of Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou, right?"
"Yes, sir."
“Are there no adults in your family?
Why did I call a little girl like you over here?
Can you make the decision on this matter?"
The gentleman was a little impressed by Meng Shuyan's dignity and fearlessness at such a young age.
It just so happens that he also has a granddaughter of this age, so he is outdone in comparison.
"Don't worry, sir. I'm their aunt and an elder, so I'll naturally take care of their affairs."
Although it was the first time in both of Meng Shuyan's lives that her parents were called to the hospital, she was not afraid at all.
This is totally irrelevant.
"Okay, they'll be here after class."
"Hmph, I think they know they're in the wrong, so they sent this ignorant kid here, right?"
At this time, the uncultured man spoke again.
Meng Shuyan ignored him and decided to wait for her two nephews and the beaten student to arrive. They would confront each other face to face before making a conclusion.
But she believed in her two nephews and they would not cause trouble out of nothing.
The man was so angry that he wanted to curse when he saw that the little girl pretended not to hear him.
He is really ungrateful. He originally thought that since the other party had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, he would be generous and ask the other party to pay the medical expenses and let the matter go. But now it seems that there is no need for that. He must pursue the matter to the end!
