Chapter 741 Female Studies
Qi Hongjun actually came over, Shen Jun hurried out to greet him and invited him in.
"Mr. Qi, didn't you say you wouldn't come today?" Shen Jun asked as he led everyone to their seats.
He had specifically asked about it before coming back today. After all, Qi Hongjun used to live in Chengjia. Although he now lives in the city most of the time, they haven't said they are going to officially move out.
But at that time Qi Hongjun said that he had something else to do and would not come today.
Qi Hongjun smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered something. If I don't ask, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight."
He didn't say what it was, but instead invited the Shen family to eat first, "Let's talk about it after dinner, did I cause you any trouble?"
"No, no, Mr. Qi, what are you talking about? We are so happy that you can come. Please feel free to eat. You will definitely be full." Mrs. Wu said quickly.
Although she didn't know who this old man was, how could an ordinary person prepare to open a school or a college?
However, Wu never expected that Qi Hongjun was actually a great scholar of the previous dynasty, and his reputation in the entire scholar circle was even higher than that of Master Shen.
The meal was not a quick one, but the atmosphere was very good because there were no separate tables and there were several children present, and the lively atmosphere made people happy from the bottom of their hearts.
After the meal, Shen Xiao and his brothers accompanied Old Qi for tea, but Old Qi called Shen Qingqian over.
"Girl, I heard that you were teaching the children here before," Qi Hongjun asked Shen Qingqian with a smile.
Shen Qingqian had no problem admitting, "It's just some elementary knowledge, it's nothing."
Qi Hongjun shook his head. "You're wrong, teaching people to be enlightened is often the most difficult thing."
Shen Qingqian was at a loss for words, but Qi Hongjun was right. Teaching people enlightenment was indeed the most difficult part of the entire education process.
A child is like a blank sheet of paper. What they learn during their early childhood will have a great impact on their future. To be more serious, the impact on the child’s entire world view and outlook on life cannot be underestimated.
"Sixth sister has been with our grandfather since she was a child. She knows more about teaching and educating people than the rest of us." Shen Xiao said with a smile.
Qi Hongjun's eyes lit up, "If that's the case, then I came to the right place."
"Mr. Qi, why are you here today?" Shen Jun looked at him in confusion.
Qi Hongjun looked at Shen Qingqian and said solemnly: "Girl, I want to open a girls' school in northern Hubei. Are you willing to be the female teacher?"
"Women's School"
These words stunned everyone in the yard, including Shen Qingqian.
She had known before that Da Jin was harsh on women, so it was their own family members who taught Shen Jin and Shen Yao, as the school did not accept girls.
In this era, only women from wealthy families would hire a teacher for private lessons, and most of them only learned the basics, and it was considered good enough if they could recognize all the common characters.
The general environment is that "women are virtuous if they are not talented". Girls from wealthy families are like this, let alone girls from ordinary families.
The people in Huanxiyuan are all fugitives, and there are not many women, but most of them can read. However, it is different for Lu and others on Jiang Goudan's side. They really can't recognize a single word.
Before, she was still worried about Shen Jin and Shen Yao, fearing that their family members would have to take over teaching them in the future. Unexpectedly, Qi Hongjun actually proposed to set up a girls' school tonight.
"Mr. Qi, opening a girls' school is a big deal. Have you talked about this with the general and others?" Shen Qingqian asked seriously.
Qi Hongjun said calmly: "Since they have handed this matter over to me, all related matters must be handled by me."
