Chapter 713: Considerations
Mrs. Gu looked at Qiao Wu with some concern.
Qiao Wu's parents passed away early, and the family business fell into the hands of her uncle and aunt.
Fortunately, the old lady of the Qiao family loves Qiao Wu.
But the old lady is old after all, and she can't look after Qiao Wu all the time.
Qiao Wu couldn't even bother the old lady often.
She was afraid that it would cause more trouble to the old lady, and that the old lady would be dissatisfied with her.
She made a living cautiously at the hands of her uncle and aunt.
Of course, her aunt was still thinking about her mother's dowry.
If her aunt, Mrs. Gu, had not been watching over her from time to time, her aunt would not have dared to act rashly, and she would not have been able to keep her mother's dowry at all.
But once she reaches the age of marriage, her aunt will make the decision.
Her aunt wouldn't be able to help her by then.
So her aunt found a way to get her into Hezhou Girls' Academy.
With her reputation as a princess, her aunt has to be cautious when trying to control her.
But the prerequisite is that she must learn well.
Qiao Wu worked hard and decided to study hard.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that the Hezhou Women's Academy is full of girls from poor families. When there are more people in the future, you will know the benefits."
"It won't be bad if you follow Lord Su and Princess."
"If your sister Shuning were a few years younger, I would definitely send her to a girls' school."
"You know what happened to your sister. She just jumped into the water to save someone, but so many people slandered her, saying that her reputation was ruined. But now it was your brother-in-law who stood up, and it was the Su family who stood up to protect your sister's reputation."
"The Su family held a banquet, and your brother-in-law married your sister, slapping everyone in the face."
"The Su family's tradition is truly excellent. Both Lord Su and the princess are excellent. I sent someone to Hezhou to inquire, and the girls who went to the Women's Academy all said it was a good place."
"Many people's temperaments have changed drastically. It's only been over half a year, and everyone looks different..."
Mrs. Gu talked a lot, and Qiao Wu took notes carefully.
Before leaving, Qiao Wu knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu hurriedly helped her up and gave her some instructions.
The child is sensible, so Mrs. Gu is confident in her.
The noble families looked down on the women's academy, but some people from the capital still secretly went to Hezhou for interviews and studies.
When these people actually stepped into the girls' college and attended classes for a few days, they were shocked.
Only then did they truly understand the difference between studying in academy and studying at home.
There is a big difference.
Here, everyone reads and communicates together, and helps each other with anything.
Some people became best friends with their roommates.
The most important thing is to have no worries. Every day I just need to think about studying hard and go to eat after class.
The food is delicious and they no longer have to worry about the kitchen at home cutting back on their food.
Every meal is hot and filling.
There are also activity classes where they can go out for an outing and play together.
The initial anxiety was gone, and everyone began to study with peace of mind and no longer thought about returning to the capital.
And they can also go for a stroll on the streets and riverside docks from time to time.
They also learned pinyin and read a lot of books.
In the academy, they gradually gained confidence.
Never walk with your head down again.
There are no requirements on girls what they should do in the academy; they can laugh and talk loudly.
No one will despise them or laugh at them.
Moreover, they can win prizes if they do well in the monthly exams.
When someone got one or two taels of silver, they were very excited.
This was earned through their hard work, and it feels different from receiving monthly salary at home.
Gradually, many people put aside their status and worked part-time to earn some money with their classmates in the academy.
They were extremely excited when they saw every copper coin they earned through their own labor.
There is a sense of accomplishment in my heart.
