Qiu Yan looked up and carefully examined the four large characters "Lingxin Academy" on the plaque.
The calligraphy is so smooth and flowing, it's really quite good.
It was written by Master Meng.
Accompanied by Elder Mu and Elder Meng, the four entered Lingxin Academy together.
Upon entering, one finds a rockery.
On both sides of the artificial hill are narrow paths.
The path was paved with layers of pebbles.
The surrounding area was originally lush with small trees and winding paths leading to secluded spots.
Qiu Ling'er oversaw the construction of this academy, so she wasn't particularly curious about it at the moment.
But Gu Xiaoran is different.
He kept looking around before pulling Qiu Ling'er and running deeper into the academy.
Qiu Yan and Gu Qian continued to enter.
Behind the artificial hill, two rows of schools stand in staggered rows.
The entire academy was enveloped in the shade of trees.
Qiu Yan fell in love with the place at first sight; the dowry prepared for her by her second uncle and aunt was far too generous.
She thought that if she had time in the future, she could study with the students.
However, her time is limited, and at most she can only attend classes.
In the following period, Qiu Yan began to work on student recruitment.
This news made Elder Mu and Elder Meng extremely happy.
Of course, Qiu Yan only recruited women.
From four or five years old to seventeen or eighteen years old.
Accompanied by Qiu Yan, Qiu Ling'er, Gu Xiaoran, and Zhu Juan, Bai Yang distributed flyers.
Jiang Liu and her maid, Cui Zhu, were the ones distributing leaflets to Huai Yuan.
Soon, word spread about their Lingxin Academy.
However, at first, the people had only heard about it and had never actually been there.
Qiu Yan already had a certain reputation in Baiyang.
Jiang Liu, being based in Huaiyuan, also had a certain network of connections.
Furthermore, Elder Mu is highly respected and well-known within the Baiyang Luming Academy.
Moreover, Elder Meng, having retired and returned to his hometown, was a local celebrity.
With Elder Mu and Elder Meng as their teachers, the wealthy families of Baiyang and Huaiyuan all had designs on it.
They all wanted to raise their daughters to be poised and elegant.
Neither Huaiyuan nor Baiyang had girls' academies, only private schools.
Nowadays, wealthy families who want their daughters to be as well-read as their sons are starting to wonder if they could give it a try.
After considering all that, what they needed to do was, of course, conduct on-site investigations.
Women are different from men; they are afraid of being bullied, so it won't do if their conditions aren't good.
Qiu Yan and Jiang Liu had originally been promoting the project together.
But when she learned from Elder Mu that people had been coming to inspect the academy in recent days, she stayed at the academy and began to promote it vigorously.
And so, today, she once again led a group of people and began her introduction.
"Lingxin Academy is located in a quiet and peaceful environment. Most importantly, we have a closed teaching system."
"In other words, the entire academy has only two male teachers, Elder Mu and Elder Meng, and no other men are allowed to enter."
"In this way, the female students of the academy can study in peace."
"Among them, Master Mu taught literature, and Master Meng taught calligraphy."
"As a benefit for new students, this year's tuition fee is five taels of silver, and starting next year, it will be ten taels per person."
"In the future, other female teachers will enroll in the school one after another."
"Lingxin Academy has a dining hall and dormitories..."
"Music room, chess room, painting room... Anyone who wants to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting can sign up. The tuition fee will be increased by one tael for each course."
The passersby who came to visit were deeply moved by the beauty of the academy.
This place looks much better than the Lu Ming Academy and other similar institutions.
Most importantly, it has a beautiful environment. Even if you don't study, it's still a great place to live and cultivate your mind and character.
Of course, self-cultivation is just a thought.
This is, after all, an academy, so they can only take a look around when they visit.
