How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

"So, sisters, after you enter the Imperial College, you must study hard!"

Xie Chengze took the opportunity to tempt them, "You all have unlimited potential. You must get high grades in the exams to see the true potential of those young masters! And I heard that the Imperial College will also add a degree for women to stay in the palace for a long time. As long as you have outstanding grades, you can take up the position. Although it is not as good as a formal official position, you will also enjoy a salary and can often come to the palace to mark papers and teach."

"Think about it, by then the entire school's results will be in your hands. It will be easy to tell who is smart and who is stupid. When you have children in the future, you will be able to find good wives and sons-in-law for them in advance!"

He slammed the table heavily, like a thunderbolt that woke up all the ladies present, "Isn't it fragrant?"

"It smells good!" A noble lady couldn't help but say, "It smells so good!"

All the noble ladies could not help but feel excited, saying that it was a good thing that the Imperial College was opened, as it could bring them such benefits!

And this is not enough.

Xie Chengze added fuel to the fire.

"I also heard that... this Imperial College has another special feature. Those who make outstanding contributions can not only receive a large sum of money as funding, but can even be given a title by His Majesty. His Royal Highness the Regent is also considering allowing them to attend the Qionglin Banquet!"

Qionglin Banquet!

Hearing this, the ladies couldn't help but let out a low cry, feeling dizzy from being hit by this shocking pancake.

That was the Qionglin Banquet! It brought together the most talented Jinshi in Jian'an. All of them were selected from thousands of talents. Not only that, all the participants in the banquet could be included in the Qionglin history books for future generations to read!

"Sisters, don't you want to appear at the Qionglin Banquet and leave your name in the history books?" Xie Chengze stood up, holding up the teacup in his hand, and said in a high voice, like a speaker calling on the people to stand up, "Why are all men recorded in history books, and why are women only mentioned in a few words, and only when they become a beauty can they get more words! Why do we have to manage the harem and make silent contributions, while they can enjoy fame in front of the public and let future generations admire their reputation?"

"As long as we are willing to learn, even a small flood can be solved! As long as we are willing to learn, managing the county town can be a piece of cake! As long as we learn, we can also go down in history!" He half lifted the veil, drank it all in one gulp, and then raised the glass to the sky, "To contribute to the country, we women are also duty-bound!"

Roll them all up hard!

When the time comes, he will go to the young masters and PUA them so that they can't even pass the test of the women who have lived in the harem for a long time. He will severely hit their self-esteem, make them break down and then stand up again, and roll up against the women -

By then, this research institute will be established!

Under the veil, the smile on Xie Chengze's lips became increasingly vicious, like a devil produced by capitalism.

Not knowing that Xie Chengze was laughing in his heart, the noble ladies were all excited when they heard this, and said to their friends beside them, "Yes! Why should we have to work silently in the backyard without even a chance to leave our names in history books!"

"All the benefits are theirs, and we are only given the reputation of being virtuous. Being virtuous is not as good as being an official. Thinking about it this way, it's really a big loss."

"To be honest, I never thought about it before, but today I feel that it would be such an honor if I could be recorded in history..."

Who can escape the temptation to leave a name in history?

Cheng Wuxue looked at Xie Chengze deeply, as if she had just gotten to know this person again. After a long while, she raised her hand and bowed, her eyebrows slightly red, and her voice hoarse, "...The girl's mind is far beyond that of ordinary people. It really makes us feel ashamed of ourselves."

"You are all towering trees. No matter how windy and rainy, hot or cold, you will still bloom and bear fruit. The four seasons cycle, and life will never end." Xie Chengze shook his head and said seriously, "All things are male and female. The earth has long told us that women can hold up half the sky."

This sentence hit their hearts hard.

No one has ever told them that they are not beautiful flowers but towering trees with luxuriant branches and leaves.

No one has ever told them that women can hold up half the sky.

They were like seeds that were buried deep in the soil and were not allowed to germinate, and were dormant. At that moment, because a passerby happened to pass by and shoveled away the deep soil that had suppressed them for a long time, they were able to quietly sprout, and then penetrated into the soil to absorb nutrients and water, and desperately grew towards the sky and the scorching sun.

According to the Historical Records of Jian'an, after the establishment of the Imperial College, 78 "professional professors" emerged during the Jian'an period alone, 39 of whom were women. They were involved in arithmetic, physics, mechanics, biology and other fields, and some even held several honors. They made immeasurable contributions to the production and agricultural development of Jian'an.

……

After the Peach Blossom Banquet began, Sheng Yiren stayed for a while before going to the reserved room in Hanshan Temple, ready to change into women's clothes and look for Xie Chengze.

She had just finished her business in Liaozhou when she was urgently summoned back by Shen Yuan, who asked her to help at the Peach Blossom Banquet.

And this busyness is related to the Imperial College.

Although Xie Chengze was in favor of compulsory enrollment, Shen Yuan felt that it would be difficult for the ministers to approve this. In order to avoid the situation where no noble ladies were willing to go to school if the admission was not approved, he wanted to persuade the noble ladies to take the initiative to go to the Imperial Academy.

Sheng Yiren is the most famous talented woman in the capital, and the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites. She can be said to be a weather vane for the noble ladies in the capital. Every move she makes will trigger others to follow suit. Her discussion of the Imperial College at the Peach Blossom Banquet will attract more noble ladies to enroll.

Only she and Shen Yuan knew about this. Shen Yuan said that this was a surprise he prepared for Xie Chengze.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yiren couldn't help but pull out the jade belt from her waist, muttering, "I don't know who was so disgusted with the Second Prince when he first returned to the capital, but now he's eagerly thinking of throwing himself at the Second Prince."

Hiss, thinking about it this way, does she have something on Shen Yuan?

You can use it when you ask him to open the back door in the future! Hehehe~

Sheng Yiren hummed a tune as she changed into women's clothes, and put on a little rouge to cover her face which looked a little tired due to her recent busyness. Just as she was about to go out, she suddenly heard footsteps and soft conversations outside the door.

She always had pointed ears, so she couldn't help but crouch down and hide behind the window, putting her ears close to the window.

"Sister, are you here?"

"It seems like... Is the silver still on you?"

"Well, I covered it tightly..."

"We'll leave as soon as we get the things."

"But sister, why do we have to do such a simple thing? I always feel..."

"Hush, don't you want to treat mother? Don't ask unnecessary questions!" The woman called sister sounded very young. She said in an irritable tone, "We just need to do as we are told. Even if there is danger, we won't know about it!"

"Okay, okay..." The younger sister's voice sounded even more childish, and she followed the woman closely.

Sheng Yiren narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, instinctively feeling that there might be some shameful deal hidden in it. When she noticed the other party's footsteps getting farther away, she hurriedly turned back to open the package, flipping through it quickly, and finally found a curved telescope.

This is a rare item that the young master of the Jiang family gave her when he asked her to be a housekeeper in Yangzhou. It can be used to observe the scenery on the side. This antique is extremely rare. It is said that there is only one in the world. Originally, Sheng Yiren wanted to use it when secretly inquiring about business secrets, but she didn't expect to use it here first.

Sheng Yiren poked open the window paper, leaned out of the telescope, and observed which room the two sisters entered. Then she opened the door and quietly moved to the hidden corner of the room.

Let her see what's going on.
