Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

Chapter 76: Female officials of the Women’s Association (Part )

Everyone's guesses were soon revealed.

There were still dozens of breaths left before the fourth quarter, when the firecrackers outside were lit.

A pretty girl wearing the official uniform of a third-rank female official in the inner court walked out amidst the sound of firecrackers.

But she was seen holding scissors, stepping on the small ladder brought out by the attendant, and came to the plaque covered with red silk.

When the pointer of the funnel reached the middle of the hour, the red silk covering the plaque was cut open with a click.

After the red silk fell, the words on the plaque were clearly visible to the spectators.

I saw the words "Women's Association" written neatly in regular script on it.

These words are written in a round and natural way without losing strength. At first glance, they are written by a famous artist.

"It was written by Princess Ronghua herself, and there is a line of small words marked below." Someone with sharp eyes said.

“It was an opening ceremony, with so many noble people coming, and the plaque was written by Princess Ronghua herself.

The background of this shop is indeed quite big, but does anyone know what the Women's Association does?"

Everyone looked at the eye-catching characters on the plaque with confusion in their eyes. A man in leather clothes who looked like a businessman opened his mouth and said:

"I don't know." The people around him obviously didn't understand either.

"The Women's Association is a place to teach everyone how to behave. The main founder is the Queen Mother of the current dynasty, and the eldest princess Ronghua is cooperating. All the noble ladies in the capital are participants."

At this moment, a crisp voice sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw that the person who spoke was the girl who just cut the ribbon, Princess Zhaoping.

After she cut the ribbon, she came over with a team of dozens of people.

The three girls at the front of the team were also wearing the costumes of the female officials of the imperial court. Some were holding gongs and drums, and some were holding suonas.

Zhaoping held a simple loudspeaker made of wood and paper in his hand. He was riding a horse. He controlled the speed of the horse with one hand and answered everyone's questions with the loudspeaker with the other hand.

Passers-by who had never seen a Kyoto noblewoman wearing such a weird look subconsciously asked: "How do you teach people to behave?"

"This is what we are going to explain to you next. Please be patient and wait for a moment." Zhaoping smiled slightly.

Then he said: "Play music."

As soon as she finished speaking, the gongs and drums rang.

With the exciting sound of gongs, drums and suonas, more and more people gathered towards this street.

When the entire street was almost filled with pedestrians on both sides, Zhao Ping made a stop gesture.

The sound of gongs and drums suddenly stopped, and Zhao Ping held a simple trumpet in his hand to control the speed of the horse.

With the crisp voice of beads falling on a jade plate, the responsibilities and functions of the Women's Association were explained in detail.

She had no stage fright at all, her voice was clear and loud, and she broadcast several times continuously along the entire Pingshan Street, which was more than three miles long.

"Zhaoping is a really good kid. He has many ideas, is courageous, is free-spirited, behaves gracefully, and has no stage fright.

As expected, the chief female officer of our women's association did not choose the wrong person, and the other girls also cooperated well. "

Ruan Qing, who was standing on the second floor and saw this scene, couldn't help but smile and said.

She hired someone to make the loudspeaker, and at first she was a little worried that the little girls couldn't let go of the noble lady's airs.

Unexpectedly, with the little witch Zhao Ping taking the lead, they were more open-minded and did a better job than she imagined.

"Indeed, I usually only know that Zhao Ping has a lively and lively temperament, but I didn't expect that he can also do serious things in a decent manner. The eldest princess teaches him well." Princess Xu nodded.

"It's not as good as what you said. She is young and her temperament is not stable enough. There are too many areas that need to be tempered." Ronghua smiled lightly.

Although she helped the association raise the plaque, she also attended the opening ceremony in person.

But I don't really agree with my daughter's appointment as the chief female officer of the Women's Association.

This female official is really not easy to be a good person. I don’t know how many people she will offend and how many risks she will take in the future.

The problem was that my daughter was so determined to be the chief female official that she simply stood out from the dozens of noble ladies who took the exam based on her ability.

As a mother who truly loves her daughter, no matter how much she disagrees, she cannot dampen her daughter's enthusiasm.

"It's really amazing. Look at that girl from Zuo Xiang's family. She is usually a quiet and elegant girl. I didn't expect the suona to play so passionately."

Not long after Rong Hua's voice fell, a strange and sinister voice rang out.

Ruan Qing frowned, turned around and found that the person speaking was Princess Wuyang.

Mrs. Yu from Zuo Xiangfu's face even darkened after hearing this.

She only found out about her granddaughter becoming a female officer of the Women's Association seven days ago, after the exam results came out.

After learning about this, Mrs. Yu immediately called her granddaughter to her eyes and forced her to resign.

The granddaughter is already sixteen. If her fiancé's grandmother had not passed away and delayed the marriage for a year, she would have left the government this year.

Unexpectedly, Miss Gu, who usually follows the rules and is the most obedient, refused to listen to advice this time.

I am determined to become this female official.

When Mrs. Yu was so angry that she didn't know what to do, the left prime minister came back.

After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, he pondered for a while, convinced his wife, and agreed to let his granddaughter go and become the female official together with Zhaoping.

Before the opening of the Women's Association, Ruan Qing went through a strict selection process and selected five female officials.

There is one principal officer and four associate officers, all of whom are determined according to the standards of female officials in the inner court.

The chief female officer is designated as the third grade, and the other four associate officers are designated as the fourth grade and receive a monthly salary.

"Why, do you think playing the suona is inelegant and embarrassing? Coincidentally, the Ai family's favorite musical instrument is the suona."

Ruan Qing's eyes fell on Princess Wuyang with a somewhat cold gaze.

The scandal between her daughter Princess Ningshan and Jiang Congyun came to light when Jiang Congyun killed his wife, and her reputation was ruined.

Wu Yang was obviously embarrassed in the past few days and didn't come out to play much.

I don’t know why it popped up again today.

Given Zhaoping's dislike for her, he shouldn't have posted her, and he didn't know how she got here.

"No, no, I just rarely see a girl playing the suona so well. I was a little curious, so I mentioned it one more thing." Princess Wuyang's face froze.

After Concubine Li was dealt with by Ruan Qing with lightning speed, there probably weren't many people in Beijing who dared to question her face to face, at least Wu Yang didn't have the guts.

She just started sarcastic, just looking at a group of noble ladies with extraordinary backgrounds, but like those actors, beating gongs and drums, and shouting through human trumpets in front of a large audience, she felt ridiculous in her heart, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Since you can't stand it, then don't watch it. Someone, please send Princess Wuyang away." Ronghua didn't give her any face.

As the voice fell, two secret guards came in quietly and took Princess Wuyang down.

Although she did not agree with her daughter being the chief female official, she did not allow anyone to make irresponsible remarks about her daughter.

Old Man Yu's ugly expression finally softened after the Queen Mother and Ronghua's repeated words.

Forget it, it is something that the master is optimistic about and the Queen Mother and Princess Ronghua support, so she should stop interfering blindly and let her granddaughter go.

In a teahouse not far from here, there were several young masters sitting in a room on the second floor with a window by the roadside.

When they saw the elegant girl holding the suona in her hand and playing the suona impassionedly.

One of the young men in white robes looked at the young man in blue robes next to him with disbelief: "Brother Han, is that person below your fiancée?"
