After Chuanwu went to the manufacturing camp, Chuanyu and Chuanwen also went out. Chuanyu looked curiously at the brocade box that Chuanwen was carrying and asked, "What is this?"
"A thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."
Chuan Wen laughed and replied that her brother treated her so well, always thinking of giving her the best things. [However, why did that burly man give my brother the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?]
The two boarded the carriage and left. Marquis Changxing, who was about to go out for a stroll, heard Chuanwen's thoughts and was puzzled. "A burly man with unkempt feet? Zhang Chengjue?"
Thinking about Zhang Chengjue's upright face, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would pick his toes.
Marquis Changxing shook his head and went out for a stroll. As he walked, he looked up and saw the girls' school. He realized that he was actually very interested in Wen Yatou's black box and Wen Yatou's teaching.
It's hard to imagine how someone as unreliable as Wen Yatou could teach.
Looking at the tightly closed gates of the girls' school, Marquis Changxing felt quite regretful, really wanting to go in and take a look.
Perhaps because he had been standing there for a long time, Uncle Han, the gatekeeper, came out and asked him if he was looking for someone.
Uncle Han knew that many daughters of officials had come to the girls' school, so when he saw this well-dressed man standing at the door looking inside, he assumed that an official was looking for his daughter.
Marquis Changxing waved his hand, "I won't look for him."
He had two women in his family, one teaching and the other studying inside; he dared not disturb them.
But he felt reluctant to leave, so he looked at the old man at the gate and suddenly felt envious. So he started chatting with Uncle Han.
The two old men were having a very pleasant conversation when someone on the second floor of a teahouse next door opened a window and called out to Marquis Changxing.
Marquis Changxing turned around and saw that it was actually the Minister of Works, who was smiling and beckoning him over.
Marquis Changxing then bid farewell to Uncle Han. Uncle Han hadn't expected this man to be a marquis, and he trembled slightly with nervousness, quickly bowing. As he watched the man's departing figure, he sighed, "He's just as approachable as the two girls, Chuanyu and Chuanwen. The upbringing of the Marquis Changxing family is truly excellent!"
When Marquis Changxing entered the teahouse, he was startled.
He had initially thought only the Minister of Works was present, but now he saw that all six ministers were there, and the entire second floor was filled with them.
The Minister of Works made room for the Marquis of Changxing to squeeze in, and the Marquis of Changxing asked them what they were doing.
The people at the Minister of Works' table all smiled. Like the Marquis of Changxing, they also wanted to go into the girls' school to take a look. On the one hand, they were also curious about the black box technology. Although they had all secretly printed Chuanwen's notes, they were full of theories they had never heard of before. Without a teacher, it would be really difficult to learn.
On the other hand, just like Marquis Changxing, they were also genuinely curious that Chuanwen would actually give lectures.
Just imagine the scene: a fourteen-year-old girl standing on the stage, teaching in a serious and methodical manner. It gives them goosebumps, as if the word "teacher" has absolutely nothing to do with teaching.
So they finally made it to today's day off and came here early in the morning. Even if they can't go into the girls' school, it's good to look around from the outside. Besides, they might even be able to hear Chuanwen's thoughts.
When the imperial edicts were suddenly no longer being sent during court sessions, they were quite unaccustomed to it, and even their arguments lost their passion.
As he spoke, the Minister of Revenue suggested that Marquis Changxing go back and persuade Chuanwen to let the men also learn from her.
Although they had already made arrangements, their daughter would pass on what she had learned at the girls' school to her brothers and sisters at home after she returned home, and even the three-year-olds would have to sit and listen.
However, daughters with good memories or who are smart can teach most of what they learned in school. But those who are slow-witted or not good at learning can only stumble over one or two parts of it. Even worse, the daughter of the Minister of War found the class boring and fell asleep in class. When she was asked to teach her brothers at home, she and her brothers just stared at each other blankly.
Chuanwen's current teaching method is the rote learning approach of exam-oriented education. Firstly, she's a research scholar, not an education expert, so she doesn't want to consider various teaching methods. However, her teaching method has its advantages: it filters out a group of bright and interested individuals. These people will be given focused training, and based on their interests, they will be free to choose whether to pursue research or become teachers. At that point, Chuanwen will have successfully retired and can continue her quiet life.
Secondly, these women were all from official families, and Chuanwen did not want these technologies to be monopolized by the upper class. If that were the case, it would be even more difficult for ordinary people to get involved and share in this pie in the future.
She created this cake to break the current rules of society, not to make it a tool for the upper class to fight for power.
Marquis Changxing chuckled at the Minister of Revenue's suggestion and asked them in return, "Do you think Wen'er is the kind of person who can be persuaded?"
Everyone fell silent.
Although Chuanwen seems to be all smiles and carefree, that little girl is very opinionated. Once she makes up her mind, even the emperor might not be able to change her mind.
Sigh~
Everyone sighed deeply. Chuanwen was a girl they both loved and hated, yet they couldn't do anything about her!
Just then, Chuanwen came out of the girls' school. Everyone quickly looked over and saw that Chuanwen was holding a brocade box and looked quite happy.
Zhang Chengjue, who was sitting there, breathed a long sigh of relief, because that brocade box was the one he had used to store the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Thank goodness, the Ganoderma lucidum had finally reached Chuanwen's hands.
Chuanwen planned to visit Ergou during his lunch break and give him the Ganoderma lucidum.
But as soon as he stepped out of the girls' school, he saw the Imperial Censor Dong Zhen passing by. Dong Zhen pretended not to see Chuan Wen and kept his head down, intending to pass by quickly. He was afraid of being exposed!
