"Wife? Why are you here?"
"Honey, didn't you say I know more about history and wanted me to come and help you in this class? Then let me explain. I think the students might be feeling a little emotional, and it seems a female teacher can better soothe their wounded hearts."
The male teacher's wife turned out to be the elementary school teacher. She had a collection of bronze mirrors at home, and she brought them to Ji Nianqin's beauty and hairdressing school for a visit and appreciation.
"The stones are also called 'Chief's Stone' and 'Martial Arts Stone'. Each stone has a weight marked on it, mainly to test arm strength. The ranking is determined by the weight, and there are also auspicious words engraved on them for the imperial examination."
"Teacher, the ancient imperial examinations were divided into two categories: civil and military. And there are so many books and films about the civil examinations in modern times that people are familiar with them. But how did the military examinations select talents? And why aren't they often performed to test arm strength like "weightlifting"?"
"That's because during the Qing Dynasty, stone lifting was used to test the arm strength of candidates..."
Ji Nianqin was answering questions quickly and talking non-stop. She looked so proud because she finally talked about something she was familiar with, which made the male teacher very dissatisfied.
"You're pretty good, aren't you? My wife took time out of her busy schedule, and you came here to play the role of a teacher. I heard you're also teaching beauty and hairdressing next door. Look at the pants you're wearing, don't you look like a classmate? Why aren't you wearing your school uniform?"
"I washed my school uniform, but it's not dry yet."
"Get out of here. No matter what I say to you, you have a lot to say to me."
"Teacher, I think Ji Nianqin's story is very vivid, especially the one about the mantis. It's so interesting. I didn't know that little thing was so strong. Hahaha, I want to see what the girl who successfully passed the martial arts exam looked like and what happened to her later. Could you please continue telling us, Ji Nianqin?"
"That's nonsense. Girls are not allowed to take the exam for the top martial arts exam. They will be beheaded, just like criminals today. Anyone who supports her, get out now."
"Let's learn by ourselves. I'll go out with Ji Nianqin to learn."
"Me too. I don't want to stay in the classroom anymore. Since the teacher doesn't like us, we female students will no longer be an eyesore to you."
"Here, for you. This is in the lip grease box. I made it myself from beef marrow and tallow mixed with spices and cinnabar."
"Really? Thank you, Ji Nianqin."
Ji Nianqin was giving each person a small thing, a semi-finished product she made, but it was definitely a thousand times better than cosmetics filled with chemical fuels.
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful."
Ji Nianqin was outside with several female classmates, whispering, when the male teacher walked out in a rage.
"This is where you girls are inferior to boys. Look at that student wearing makeup? How can someone like you pass the college entrance exam? Just disqualify them."
"Teacher, I'm sorry, you don't have this right. You're not the principal. You're just a teacher, not even a class teacher."
"How dare you speak to me like that? Have you been led astray by Ji Nianqin?"
"Teacher, I'm already eighteen years old and an adult. I only wiped it occasionally, and it was when you didn't let me attend class, just to lure you out so that we could go in and continue listening to the lecture. But now I've changed my mind."
A female classmate wiped her mouth, and then started studying with Ji Nianqin. She seemed to feel that she knew more about the martial arts champion.
"Ji Nianqin, look here..."
