Three years later.
In the Xie family garden, several women sat together and chatted. Since Xie Shuyan left the Wang family and returned to her parents' home, she didn't like to see people.
This time, it was her mother who called her over. She had never met a few noble ladies before.
I also said hello and found an excuse to leave.
"Shuyan is so sorry."
"Yes, your master made a wrong move at the beginning. Look how prosperous the Zhan family is now."
"Now that there is no emperor, the Zhan family openly talks about democracy, but in fact they are using the imperial examinations to gather people under their wing and become an uncrowned king!"
"Shen Shi picked up a loophole. The third son of the Zhan family is so good-looking and dotes on his wife. It's hard to find such a person even with a lantern."
Xie Shuyan heard the whispers behind him and paused slightly.
Ever since she last saw Zhan Nanxing three years ago, this person has been deeply engraved in her heart.
She wanted to get married, but no one wanted to marry her.
On that day three years ago, both my grandfather and father came to the door in person, but were ruthlessly rejected by the Zhan family.
Since that day, she didn't want to go out to see people.
Yes, the weeds in my heart are still growing wildly.
Every day she looked forward to hearing more about the Zhan family, especially about him.
Hearing his mother and friends talking about Zhan Nanxing behind him, Xie Shuyan stopped in his tracks.
I found some fish food and absentmindedly fed the koi in the pond while listening attentively to their conversation.
"Alas, my son is not so lucky. Originally, the Zhan family wanted to give my son a co-wife, saying that he would be on an equal footing with the Shen family. My son is very proud and did not agree."
After hearing what her mother said, Xie Shuyan threw some fish food into the pond.
Mothers and fathers are usually very proud.
"Oh, it's okay to be a co-wife, why don't you agree?"
"The girl is very proud. She won't marry the third son of the Zhan family until he is divorced. I can't bear to let my good girl marry him and live on an equal footing with others." Madam Xie picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Every word she said was to save the reputation of the Xie family.
"Does the Zhan family really mean this?" a woman asked, "I see that the third master loves Shen very much! She has been married for so many years, but she is not pregnant at all, and he still stays with her alone."
"Of course," Mrs. Xie took a deep breath and smiled appropriately, "The Zhan family also wants to save face. After being rejected by my son, they naturally want to create an appearance of harmony between the couple, so that his family can also save face."
"So that's how it is."
"I said your daughter is so outstanding, how could she not be in the eyes of the Zhan family?"
"It's okay. I'll look for a better one for you among your nephews from your mother's family. I'll definitely find one better than the third son of the Zhan family."
"Oh, thank you so much." Mrs. Xie smiled politely.
Having said this, face was saved and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Xie Shuyan threw all the fish food in his hand into the pond and prepared to leave. Suddenly, he heard the women behind him starting to talk about other things.
"The third daughter-in-law of the Zhan family has recently started a medical school. Have you heard about it? It seems that in addition to boys, they also accept girls to learn how to heal diseases and save lives."
Xie Shuyan walked forward and then stopped.
"What? Miss Wei Ge is going to learn to be a midwife. Isn't this embarrassing?" a woman screamed.
"She's not a midwife. I heard she's studying clinical medicine." Another woman said, "Isn't my husband an imperial physician? He's been scolding Shen for her messy behavior these days."
"It's not that I'm messing around..."
Xie Shuyan did not listen to what they said afterwards. She walked quickly out of the garden, walked into her own yard, and called the maid beside her.
"Why don't you go and find out what's going on with Shen's plan to open a medical school?"
The maid responded and left.
When I came back in the evening, I asked Xie Shuyan about what happened.
"Do you also accept girls to study? Not only to be midwives, but also to learn other things?" Xie Shuyan asked after listening to the maid's report, "Does it say how to enroll?"
She didn't believe that this Shen had any magical powers that she couldn't learn.
A noble lady in the capital, she is one of the most intelligent and talented.
"I only heard that there is, but no one said what it is. It seems that the entrance examination questions are different every time." The maid was a little embarrassed.
She didn't answer the question the young lady asked her to answer properly.
"When will the next enrollment be open?" Xie Shuyan asked.
"It's the day after tomorrow. I'll take the entrance exam. If I pass a few tests, I can enroll and study."
Xie Shuyan's eyes widened, "What?"
The maid nodded confidently, "Yes, it is the door."
“When?” Kyomun is a place dedicated to beheading criminals, why was Kyomun chosen?
"In the days to come." The maid said, her scalp feeling numb.
Xie Shuyan's face was also stiff. It was creepy enough to go to the gate in broad daylight, let alone at midnight!
"Zi Shi 늀 Zi Shi."
She didn't believe it anymore. What kind of tricks could Shen Zhaozhao do?
