Chapter 1692 Dean Yang
Zhulan thought of Miss Ji who went to Beijing, "What's going on with the Luo family?"
Li felt a little sad. "The married daughter of the Luo family cannot divorce and return home even if she dies. It is said that the third daughter of the Luo family wanted to divorce and even wrote a blood letter."
"Written in blood?"
Li took the juice that Qingxue brought in, handed a glass of juice to her mother-in-law, and pushed it in front of her mother-in-law and said, "Well, Mr. Luo didn't allow it, and he even wrote a letter to reprimand her. As a result, Miss Luo died before the New Year."
Zhulan had eaten too much of this melon. "I heard that the Luo family has ancestral teachings?"
Li nodded, "Yes, the Luo family does not allow married women to divorce."
Zhu Lan continued, "So I can only mourn my husband."
Lee, "."
Zhulan coughed and said, "You heard wrong."
She felt that Miss Luo was either in danger of her life or she really couldn't make it anymore. As for why the Luo family's affairs had spread, it must have been Miss Ji's fault.
This Miss Ji hates the Luo family. Tsk tsk, she thought she brought a sheep to Beijing, but she didn't expect it to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The next day, Zhulan met the girls from the Zhou family at home. Not many clansmen went to Beijing, and there were nine girls in total. Six of them came today, the oldest was twelve and the youngest was six years old. Zhulan did not allow the younger ones to come along.
Because children in ancient times matured early, she set six years old as the age for school entry, with no upper limit. Even married children could come to study.
The six children had never seen Zhulan before. It was Li who met them when they first came to Beijing. Zhulan tried her best to be kind, but she still scared the children so much that they dared not raise their heads.
Zhulan said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking a few questions."
The oldest of the six girls raised her head and said, "If you ask, we will tell you everything we know."
Zhulan knew that several children were literate. As the Zhou family grew, they attached great importance to the education of children. Boys joined the family to study, and girls also learned to read and understand. Therefore, there was no shortage of men who wanted to marry the girls of the Zhou family in their hometown.
Zhulan asked, "What books did you read?"
Every girl replied that the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic were all taught to them by their fathers and brothers.
Zhulan asked again, "Do you know that you will be going to the academy to study in a few days?"
The six girls nodded together. They all knew that their parents asked them to study hard and not bring shame to the Zhou family. They all replied in unison, "We will study hard."
Zhulan motioned for a few children to come forward and handed them the jewelry she had prepared, all of which were silver jewelry. She asked a few more questions before letting Qingxue send the children back.
The tuition for girls in the college has been set, which is half of that for boys. She wanted to have the same tuition as boys, but it is a pity that this era is so bad that if she had to have the same tuition as boys, even parents who are interested would not send their daughters to study.
As the female orphans go to various villages to collect medicinal herbs and deliberately advertise their wages, some people have already inquired about the tuition fees for the girls' college. This is a good sign.
Zhulan is going out again, she is going to the Wang family.
When they arrived at Wang's house, they saw Tao, who spoke first, "You came here in person, so what you want to talk about must be something important."
"You guessed it right."
Tao was curious about what could stump Zhulan. "Just tell me. I will help you if I can."
Not to mention the relationship between the two families, she and Zhulan have been friends for many years.
Zhu Lan said: "It is impossible for all the members of a family to be officials. The Wang family is a century-old family with a very large number of members. I don't think all the members are rich."
Tao was upset when she thought about it. There was a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the clan. The rich were needless to say, and the poor were really poor. She was worried about it a lot. "We don't need to beat around the bush when we talk. Just say whatever you want to say."
"You also know about the Women's College. Do the girls from the Wang family want to go there to study?"
Tao guessed that Zhulan would be responsible based on how much she cared about the girls' academy. Now she was more certain, but, "You should know that members of a big family attach great importance to reputation."
She knew that the academy was a place to learn skills, and she also knew that the salary after graduation was not low, but some of the tribesmen were stubborn. If she could be more open-minded, there wouldn't be so many stubborn people.
Zhulan naturally knew that it was two different things for a girl to embroider purses at home and to work outside. "As long as you don't object, please help me ask."
What if someone has an idea? One more student would be good.
Tao thought that her husband had mentioned the Women's College many times, so she saw that he agreed with her. She smiled and said, "I'll ask for you."
"Thank you very much."
Tao added, "My eldest daughter-in-law is going back."
Zhu Lan asked, "Go back by yourself?"
Tao laughed out loud, "I knew you were worried about her. Well, she went back by herself."
The old man disagreed, and no one could take the child away, so he wrote a letter to his son.
Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief. Children need their parents. Children who grow up with their parents are mentally healthy. Moreover, brothers who grow up together will have a deep bond and can support each other in the future and go further.
After returning home, Zhulan took out the school rules. Now that they were formalized, she took out some modern school rules and read them carefully to make sure nothing was missed before putting them away. Now she was just waiting for the renovation to be completed.
The next day, Xue Han came back and asked the maids to go downstairs as soon as she entered the house. "Mother, who do you think the emperor will appoint as the dean of the rebuilt academy?"
Zhulan, "Rongchuan."
Xue Han was disappointed, "You knew it a long time ago?"
"I guessed it."
The Emperor would not take the role unless the Emperor retired. As for the Crown Prince, the Emperor was afraid that if he gave the role to the Crown Prince, the princes would bring their quarrels to the academy. In addition, due to some actions of the Second Prince, the Emperor was even more certain that he could not give the role to any of his sons. Rongchuan became the most suitable candidate.
Xue Han continued, "The Emperor has asked you to be in charge of all matters and concurrently serve as the dean, with Rong Hou assisting you."
Zhulan, "Lord Rong En is still trapped by his background."
Xue Han said, "Yes, Rong Enqing has been busy since he returned to the capital. In the end, he can only assist. I don't know if he will be willing to accept this."
"He anticipated the outcome. He knew what was going to happen."
Now he is an assistant, and when he can become independent in the future, Rong Enqing will get a good official position, and Rong Chuan will have to retire.
The current choice is all because Rong Chuan can suppress evil spirits, but Rong Enqing cannot.
Xue Han said excitedly: "Mom, you will be the dean in the future."
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Please call me Dean Yang from now on."
Xue Han was amused, "You let Dad call you that, too."
"Your idea is not bad. When your father comes back, let him call me that."
The news brought by the young lady indicated that the appointment would be announced soon, and Dean Yang sounded quite nice.
The appointment came faster than Zhulan had guessed. Three days later, before the reconstruction of the women's college was completed, the appointment came down.
Zhulan received the imperial edict and touched the official edict, "It must be preserved well, it has historical significance."
Li, "Mom, let me touch the sticky joy too."
Zhulan passed it over, "Let's all share in the good fortune."
The news spread quickly in the capital. No one had any objection to the King of Qin's order. Zhulan was a surprise. Everyone guessed that the Queen Mother would take the position, but no one expected it to be the wife of Marquis Zhou.
Inside the palace, Zhou Shuren's beard was so thick that it almost curled up. Oh, my wife is so amazing that even the ministers who were secretly watching her were so annoyed!
