Chapter 133: Explosion
Yun Shang was slightly stunned, then burst into a hearty laugh. He imitated Chu Ci and asked, "Girl, can you do it?"
"No." Chu Ci answered firmly.
At this moment, Yun Shang suddenly remembered what his senior brother had said. Perhaps it was time for him to settle down. "Girl, would you mind taking in an old man with nothing?"
Things went unexpectedly smoothly.
If Chu Ci was not sure that this was a real world, he would definitely regard Yun Shang as an NPC who gave away heads and equipment.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Old man, it's not a good habit to underestimate yourself!"
Yun Shang didn't explain, but began to introduce himself: "My name is Yun Shang, and that's also my Taoist name. I only have a basic understanding of the fortune-telling and luck-changing techniques you're looking for. I'm good at arithmetic and alchemy. Is that surprising?"
Arithmetic, alchemy? Chu Ci recalled his past life, when a Taoist priest accidentally invented explosives. His eyes gleamed as he looked at Yun Shang.
Seeing this, Yun Shang immediately played dumb and said, "Girl, don't look at the old man like that. He's a coward."
Chu Ci smiled calmly upon hearing this: "Don't worry, it's a good thing. Maybe you'll even be remembered in history because of this."
Unexpectedly, Yun Shang became even more frightened and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I am an old man with a weak fate and cannot bear such a heavy reputation."
"Mr. Yun, you didn't lie about this. You are indeed quite timid." Chu Ci teased with a smile.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Chu Ci and Yun Shang were chatting very happily, but Fan Jingrui, Doctor Hua and others outside were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
It wasn't until he heard Yun Shang's hearty laughter that Divine Doctor Hua finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Ah Ci, what do you have to talk about with an old man? Can I go in and listen?"
Chu Ci realized that he had made them worry, and felt very guilty. He quickly pulled aside the curtain and explained, "Master, Mr. Yun is also very knowledgeable about Gu insects, so we chatted for a while longer."
As expected, Doctor Hua's attention was drawn to him. "Old Man Yun, right? Let's go talk to him in his carriage?"
Yun Shang: As the party in the wrong, can I refuse? Of course not.
Xiaowu also wanted to leave, but Mo Yan was left in Jingtian Village, so he had to take on the task of driving the carriage.
So he could only try his best to shrink himself smaller.
As expected, just as Xiao Wu had adjusted his mindset, Fan Jingrui stared at Chu Ci grimly and asked, "Madam, did you have a pleasant chat with Mr. Yun?"
Chu Ci hurriedly explained with a wry smile, "No, it's just that the situation of Mr. Yun's family is very similar to that of the Chu family, so I couldn't help but learn more about it."
Fan Jingrui knew the truth, but he couldn't bear to embarrass Chu Ci. "The truth won't escape. If you encounter this situation next time, you can tell your husband and master first. You know we will be very worried about you."
"Okay, I will definitely change it next time." Chu Ci knew that he was wrong this time and agreed very readily.
As for how to deal with problems, we must analyze the specific situation!
But I was thinking silently in my heart: As for how to deal with things when encountering problems, I have to analyze the specific situation!
Fan Jingrui didn't fail to see through Chu Ci's little trick, he just chose to acquiesce. "Are you thirsty? I still have some here, take a drink!"
"Okay, thank you, husband." Chu Ci did not mention that her water bag was still full, but took the water bag from Fan Jingrui with a smile.
At this point, the little episode caused by Yun Shang was over.
They returned to Lianzhou's yard smoothly, but what did Chu Ci see in the yard?
Chen Jingting and his son were each in an iron cage, with shackles on their hands and feet, placed in plain sight in the yard.
"What's going on? Aren't we always sending people away as quickly as possible after arresting them? Even if they weren't taken away, Lianzhou still has a branch of the Embroidered Uniform Law Enforcement Division, right? Why are these two people in my yard?"
Chu Ci almost jumped up.
"The man from southern Xinjiang who could tam beasts and risked his life to rescue him has escaped." This was explained by the yellow-robed envoy who had been following the purple-robed envoy.
But this still couldn't calm Chu Ci's anger: "If they escaped, it's your responsibility. Why do you pass the danger on to us?"
The yellow-robed envoy seemed to have anticipated this. "This is the imperial edict that the Emperor has ordered me to pass on to you. I believe you will be satisfied."
After saying that, he handed a shining imperial edict to Chu Ci without any explanation.
Afraid that Chu Ci would refuse, he didn't even go through the process.
Chu Ci unfolded the imperial edict, which unexpectedly stated that the Women's College would enjoy the same treatment as Lianzhou Prefecture School in the future, including its teachers and students.
Chu Ci really couldn't refuse such a deal. "Okay, the Chen father and son can be locked up here."
The fifth prince never showed up from beginning to end.
Chu Ci didn't care. With this imperial edict, Chu Ci not only put the future women's college on the agenda, but also took advantage of the equal treatment with the provincial school and posted the enrollment brochure in every village in Lianzhou.
So, following "premarital training", "Women's Future Academy" also became popular.
And there is no negative news about this kind of fire.
In order to support the emperor's will, officials and noble families in Lianzhou, both big and small, even registered all the girls of appropriate age in their families on the first day of registration.
What goes around comes around. In a world where the emperor has absolute say, this is no mere talk.
As a result, in just three days, the number of applicants for the "Future Women's College" exceeded the quota by 800.
Far exceeded Chu Ci's expectations.
Qianxue and Qianyan were so anxious that they were stunned. "What should we do? What should we do? Sister-in-law, even if our whole family became teachers, we can't teach 800 people!"
Turning around, they saw Chu Ci leisurely drinking tea, which made them even more anxious. "Sister-in-law, can you please think of a solution?"
Unexpectedly, he handed the tea in his hand to the two of them: "Drink some tea and relax."
Although they were anxious, they sat down patiently.
At this time, Chu Ci smiled and explained: "Things are not that bad. Have you forgotten that among the 800 people, more than 750 of them have no foundation at all. And what are they here for? Have you forgotten?"
The two frowned slightly when they heard this, and said disapprovingly: "Sister-in-law, are you going to give up on them?"
"On the contrary, we must teach them the knowledge they need as quickly as possible." Chu Ci gave an answer that was completely opposite to what the two had in mind.
As he spoke, he took out a lesson plan that he had prepared long ago and said, "Take a look at this. If it were you, would you accept it?"
Qianyan and Qianxue, curious, took the lesson plan from Chuci's hand. Literacy and counting were the basics, but there were also lessons on farming, raising chickens, rabbits, pigs, midwifery, and even rules and regulations for women.
"Won't people criticize us for teaching these things at the academy?"
