"Okay, Sister Qi!" Wu Gousheng replied, patting Tie Niu's arm and saying, "Do a good job. If you perform well, I'll ask Sister Qi to give you a raise."
"Okay!" Tie Niu replied with a smile.
Wu Gousheng didn't linger. He quickly ran up the stairs and followed Wan Qiqi into the study.
He knew what Wan Qiqi was thinking and said directly, "Sister Qi, the reason why Hefeng Academy ended school early yesterday was because some students' fathers caused trouble at the academy. It is said that Headmaster Tao accepted some bribes from some families to allow women to enter the academy to audit classes, which aroused the students' dissatisfaction."
woman?
Wan Qiqi initially thought she had misheard something on the road, but it turned out to be related to a woman.
Tao Ran is neither a greedy person nor a casual person.
Based on past interactions with Tao Ran, it can be seen that Tao Ran is well-versed in classical Chinese literature, but is not feudal, nor does she oppose women's literacy.
Even so, could he allow women to sit in on classes at the academy at will, thus damaging the academy's reputation?
Although there was no explicit prohibition against women entering the academy, it was common knowledge that the school was a man's domain, while women's domain was in their boudoirs.
There must be something she doesn't know.
Seeing that Wan Qiqi did not interrupt, Wu Gousheng continued, "I heard that some students' parents were picking up their children when they saw a woman outside the school. They scolded the teacher for allowing a woman to defile this sacred place, and a dispute ensued. Then, Headmaster Tao came out to explain, got into a verbal argument with someone, and even got into a physical fight, eventually falling down."
"Do you think Headmaster Tao is the kind of person who would resort to violence at the academy?" Wan Qiqi sneered.
That rumor is completely false!
Tao Ran was well-versed in the classics and respected academies above all else; how could he possibly resort to violence in such a place?
It's somewhat believable that someone physically assaulted Tao Ran unintentionally.
"Um...it seems the specific details have been blocked. This is just information that Uncle Xiang had someone inquire about and pieced together." Wu Gousheng scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Although he knew that many of these rumors were false, there was nothing he could do; these were the only things Uncle Xiang's men could find out.
"Mm." Wan Qiqi nodded.
She believed in the information blackout.
A woman entering a school to audit classes is neither a big deal nor a small one.
However, in ancient times, if this matter caused a stir, not only Tao Ran, but the entire Tao family would be implicated.
In the eyes of the public, women should not be allowed to study.
