Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying
Chapter 296: The Girls' School is Completed, and the Day of the Marriage
Back in the room, Xie Mochen told Bai Qianqian the purpose of Bei Qianye's visit without Bai Qianqian asking.
Bai Qianqian's face was filled with shock.
She really didn't expect that Mobei would withdraw its troops so quickly.
Since Mobei has withdrawn its troops, the Longyuan Kingdom is probably not far from withdrawing its troops.
Xie Mochen comforted him, "It's okay, we'll know tomorrow morning."
Seeing this, Bai Qianqian hummed.
Indicates want to go back.
Xie Mochen didn't stay this time because he had too many things to do.
Although Mobei had withdrawn his troops, he still had to make arrangements for matters in Guanzhou.
After Bai Qianqian left Prince Chen's Mansion, her mood was still a little up and down.
After returning to the Bai Mansion, she went straight to the backyard. Looking at the medicinal herbs and vegetables growing well, she felt a little more at ease.
At night, Bai Qianqian lay in bed, tossing and turning, thinking about the things that happened during the day, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The next morning, the atmosphere in the court was solemn.
The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, listening to the reports from his ministers.
"Your Majesty, the Mobei army has retreated and the danger in Guanzhou has been resolved." A minister stepped forward and said.
The emperor nodded slightly, with a trace of relief on his face: "Very good, only when there is no war at the border can the people live a good life."
Xie Mochen stood out, his posture was straight, his eyes were firm, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, now that the situation has eased a little, I have something to ask for your approval."
"Tell me." The emperor looked at him with some expectation in his eyes.
Xie Mochen took a deep breath and said loudly: "Regarding the matter of building a girls' school proposed by Miss Bai Qianqian, I hope the emperor can allocate craftsmen to facilitate this matter."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court.
A minister with gray hair and a serious face immediately stood up to object.
He was so angry that his beard was shaking. He shouted, "A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Building a girls' school is against etiquette and morality. It is absolutely unacceptable! This is simply disrupting social order and destroying the laws of our ancestors!"
Another minister also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, women should follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, support their husbands and raise their children. Reading and learning will only make them arrogant and difficult to control."
Xie Mochen sneered, "Building a girls' school was something that the emperor agreed to. The emperor never jokes. Are you going to disobey his order?"
His voice was loud and powerful, echoing in the court.
For a moment, no one dared to answer.
The second prince and the crown prince both looked like they were enjoying a good show.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, tapping his fingers on the armrests, lost in thought.
After a moment, he said, "I'll leave this matter to you. I'll give you one thousand per craftsman."
"Thank you, father. You are so wise!" Xie Mochen breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a debate in the court about the candidates for marriage of the princess and the fourth princess.
Finally, the emperor decided to let the Sixth Prince escort Princess Anle to her wedding.
The prince escorted the fourth princess to marry in Longyuan Kingdom.
After the court session, Xie Mochen did not return to the palace, but went to Bai Mansion.
Bai Qianqian was in the Bai Mansion at this time, looking forward to Xie Mochen's arrival.
When Xie Mochen stepped into the Bai Mansion, Bai Qianqian couldn't wait to greet him.
"How is it? Did the emperor agree?" Bai Qianqian asked anxiously.
Xie Mochen smiled and nodded, "I agreed and gave a thousand craftsmen."
Bai Qianqian clapped her hands excitedly, "Great, then we have to get ready quickly."
Looking at the little girl's happy expression, Xie Mochen shook his head helplessly.
I have never seen such a silly girl.
He was so happy to build a girls' school with his own money.
So she told him that the school wanted her to pay money.
Bai Qianqian didn't care at all and said generously: "That's great. Since I paid for the construction of the girls' school, then this school is mine. I have the final say, and even the emperor can't interfere."
Hearing this, Xie Mochen couldn't help laughing.
Only Bai Qianqian dares to say such things.
In the following days, Bai Qianqian and Xie Mochen were very busy.
While planning the layout of the girls' school, they also supervised the construction progress of the craftsmen.
Even Bai Jinyan, Chu Yuxuan and Lou Yishuang came to help.
They may not know how to do anything else, but they know how to find someone to cook.
With so many craftsmen, food and drink are a problem.
Since Bai Qianqian paid for the construction of the girls' school, they should pay for food and drink.
But Bai Qianqian also asked the three elder sisters to go to the homes of various ministers to borrow money from their wives and madams.
And he promised that a girl could enter the school for free, and everything in the school would be free.
Knowing that the ministers did not agree to build a girls' school, Bai Jinyan and the other two chose to go when the ministers were attending the morning court.
The ladies and old ladies of each family are so generous.
He gave away all his private property.
Only women can understand how important women's schools are to them.
This is an important thing for women to turn over a new leaf.
However, things did not go so smoothly.
When some stubborn scholars heard about this, they wrote articles to criticize it and even gathered in the streets to protest.
"How can this be allowed? How can a woman study in public?"
"It's totally disgraceful!"
Faced with these opposing voices, Bai Qianqian did not back down.
She debated with those literati on the street, explaining the importance of reading for women.
"Women study not to defy ethics, but to gain knowledge and understanding, so that they can better contribute to their families and society."
"You are afraid that there will be no one at home to do the laundry and cooking, and to take care of your children without complaint."
"You are even more afraid that women will no longer rely on you after they have learned enough knowledge."
"..."
Xie Mochen gave her full support behind the scenes and used his power to suppress those who maliciously instigated.
Thanks to their efforts, the construction of the girls' school gradually got on the right track.
It only took ten days from the beginning of building the girls' school.
It has to be said that there is strength in numbers.
All the craftsmen in the palace built the girls' school according to the drawings drawn by Bai Qianqian.
Bai Qianqian stood at the door, looking at the brand new building, feeling a sense of accomplishment in her heart.
The girls' school is divided into several areas.
There are classrooms for learning literary knowledge, venues for learning martial arts, classrooms for learning embroidery, and even classrooms for learning carpentry.
There are also places to live, toilets, bathrooms, canteens, etc.
She glanced at the man next to her and said with a smile, "This is just the beginning. In the future, more women will be able to change their fate here."
Xie Mochen stood beside her, smiling and nodding.
This girls' school will become a spark that ignites the starting point for girls to become stronger.
The day the school was completed was also the day the Fourth Princess and Princess Anle got married.
There was music and candies and money scattered along the way.
People followed the procession to grab candies and wedding money.
There was such joy on the faces of those who got the lucky money.
The wedding procession is getting bigger and bigger.
Bai Qianqian and a few others followed the crowd to the city gate.
Looking at the two teams of wedding people, Bai Qianqian withdrew her gaze.
I don’t know when we will meet again after this separation.
Although I am not very familiar with Princess Anle, we have spoken a few times.
I hope she can live well in Mobei.
As for the fourth princess, with her willful personality, she is destined to have a bad marriage no matter who she marries.
