Nian Gao was also very surprised. She held her father's face with both hands and asked, "Daddy, don't you want to look at the flowers?"
"No more watching." Huo Qijing thought for a moment, lowered his head with a smile, and nudged his nose with his daughter's: "Take Gao Gao to catch fish in the creek we just passed."
Then he strode away holding his daughter in his arms.
Yan Shiyue: “…”
So, what is aloofness and what is iceberg? It's all because of the wrong person. Look, once the little cotton jacket comes, he even forgets about his wife.
So the group really went back to the small river they had just passed. Huo Qijing was not afraid of the cold, so he took off his outer robe and went into the river. Yan Shiyue made a straw basket for each of his son and daughter. Basically, as long as there was a fish, Huo would bend down and catch one, and then throw it into the two small baskets in turn, while calmly enjoying the admiring gazes of his children...
The children's cheers and laughter could be heard clearly from a distance.
Xiao Tangzhi, who was following from afar: “……???”
I don't quite understand the temperament of this family! Isn't this too casual?
A few days later, the first volume of Seeking the Way came out, and Yan Shiyue sent someone to give Xiao Tangzhi, who was staying at the inn, a copy of the book.
...
...
The first part starts with Yan Xundao giving up his official career and embarking on the road of martial arts, then ends with his initial training, chivalrous deeds, and various "righteous deeds", and ends at the time when he is most high-spirited.
These plots are actually very controversial. Giving up official career and embarking on the road of martial arts, being irresponsible to family and being "chivalrous" towards outsiders, all these are conflicts and will cause controversy.
Only when there is controversy can there be topics and heat.
The book quickly began to be sold in bookstores everywhere, and storytellers had of course to be arranged. In this age when entertainment life is very scarce, it is really very easy to make something popular.
The effect was better than expected, so Yan Shiyue ordered people from the Ministry of Commerce to go to the Northern Academy to make glasses for those great scholars. At the same time... they also brought this book with them to stimulate others and encourage the people in these academies to write more vernacular novels like this when they have nothing to do.
Of course, they did not forget to exploit Xu Wenqu and Qu Sinian, and even Zhou Jianwei was included.
You know, Jin Yong left a martial arts complex in the hearts of a generation, and Grandma Qiong's love was also a weapon to make friends with girls in school...so the charm of literary works is still very great.
When Xiao Tangzhi saw the first part, he didn't know what it meant, but when the second and third parts came out one after another, and the whole "Seeking the Way" was released, how could he not understand what the other party meant? At that time, the emperor had already returned to Chang'an. After thinking it over again and again, he still decided to pay a visit. This time, he didn't play those fancy tricks.
I won’t go into the following story for now.
The emperor stayed in Cao's mansion for more than half a month, then set out again, stopped in Jizhou, and lived in the governor's mansion.
This time, Yan Shiyue mainly wanted to visit Yan Shilan's textile factory, but Emperor Ming Yan still had political work to do, so he had to wait a few days.
The next day, the queen told her that there was a girls' school in Jizhou, and the governor of Jizhou came and seemed to want to ask for a favor for her, such as letting the queen meet her or giving her some gifts.
After all, it is a political achievement.
Yan Shiyue was surprised when she heard this: "Girls' school? Someone actually opened a girls' school?"
She had actually thought about setting up a girls' school a long time ago, but had never actually put it into practice.
It's not that she didn't want to do it, but the social environment was not suitable. To do such a thing, it also requires comprehensive consideration of all aspects. If she were in the Republic of China, when she had the ability, she would definitely set up a girls' school as soon as possible... Because when the country is in trouble, poverty will lead to change, and that is the environment suitable for setting up a girls' school.
But now, the time is not right. If we really hold it, even if it is free, not everyone will come, unless they pay money... but that would be meaningless.
So from the very beginning, she chose Yuefang, recruited female workers, and taught them skills. Women can earn money and stand up straight at home. This is a subtle change.
Just a few days ago, after finishing writing Seeking the Way, she was still thinking whether she should write some stories about Meng's mother moving three times and teaching her wife on the pillow, mainly to make people realize that reading is useful for the family, and marrying a mistress who is well-educated and sensible is more conducive to cultivating talents for future generations... She also wanted to take the path of subtle influence.
She really didn't expect that someone could set up a girls' school in this era.
She asked, “How’s it going?”
"It is said that the scale is quite large." The Queen said in detail: "There is a scholar named Qi here. His lifelong wish is to build a large academy and teach students. He worked very hard to make money and finally built a large academy, but he never used it for a day and died of overwork. Then his daughter, Qi Yunduan, inherited her father's wish and decided to run the academy. Because her mother was a chaste woman and she was unmarried, she limited the recruitment of female students."
"I heard that no one came at first, so she provided three meals a day. Then people gradually came. Later, I heard that local talented people went to listen to the lectures and said that the lectures were very good, so some of them sent their wives to come. Gradually, the school was built up. It has been about four years now."
Yan Shiyue admired him very much.
This is what it means to be the first in the world! So, was she wrong? It turns out that in this place, if you really work hard, you can also build a girls' school? Or at least you can set up a girls' class in the Imperial College?
Maybe in the final analysis, she is not kind enough and backs off before she even does it.
Yan Shiyue felt secretly ashamed and asked, "Then do you want to see him?"
The queen hesitated and said, "I'll discuss this with your father later. Have you forgotten the concubine of the fifth prince? Your father may not like her."
Xie Meiwan is only one person after all, but the girls' school can educate many people. I don't know how much effort it took to set it up. Yan Shiyue felt it was a pity and said, "Well, I'll go take a look first."
The queen thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
Yan Shiyue changed into men's clothes, changed her appearance, and went there with her people.
The address of this academy is actually quite remote, but fortunately, many people know it when I ask around for Qi Family Academy.
Looking from a distance, there are green bricks and green trees. The place is not big, but the scenery is quite nice.
Yan Shiyue got off the horse from a long distance away and walked over slowly. He saw that the front of the door was clean and tidy. There were several carriages waiting outside the door, far and near. They all looked like wealthy families.
The gatekeepers were all old women, wearing clean, new jackets, and they looked happy.
Yan Shiyue stepped forward and said, "Grandma, what's your name?"
The old woman bowed and said, "Young man, I dare not call you noble. My surname is Zhou."
"Grandma Zhou," Yan Shiyue said, "Can you tell me about the Qi Family Academy? I want my sister to come and study."
The old woman said, "Our academy was opened by the mother and daughter of the Wei family. At the beginning, Mr. Qi wanted to open an academy, but he worked too hard and died young, leaving behind several orphans and widows. Mrs. Qi was a very good person. She treated her ex-husband's children as her own and swore in the mourning hall that she would never marry... Later, Xiao Niang Qi followed her father's wishes and opened this girls' school. At first, no one came. Later, Xiao Niang Qi said that she would accept embroidery work and provide meals. Gradually, more people came. When they came, they knew how good Xiao Niang Qi was. I, an old woman, have been here from the beginning. I have seen with my own eyes the students here, from nothing to something, and growing day by day. Oh, Xiao Niang Qi, it is not easy..."
