Chapter 221: Expansion of the Academy

Seeing the two people leave, Liu Yanyan stood up and said, "Let's go! After they leave, I should go see Master Liu. I haven't seen Master for a long time, and I don't know how Master is doing."

Yuzhu stepped forward and supported the princess, "Princess, I will support you."

Liu Yanyan nodded, "Well, let's go!"

Yuzhen was carrying a food box and walking behind, followed by a group of guards.

Liu Yanyan was helped by Yuzhu to get on the carriage and leaned on the pillow. "Let's go. It's too late. It would be bad to keep the Master waiting for a long time." The carriage swayed towards the Master's Academy.

When Liu Yanyan let Yuzhu help her get out of the car, the two servants at the door hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Your servants pay their respects to the princess."

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "Get up! Take me to see the Master."

The servant then stood up and said, "Princess, please come this way. The teacher is giving a lecture to the students. I will go and invite the teacher now."

Liu Yanyan shook her head. "No, I'll go over and take a look too. I haven't listened to the teacher's lectures for a long time."

The servant then led her inside. After passing through several corridors, Liu Yanyan looked at the room that was originally empty with only a few people in it. Now it was crowded with dozens of young girls. She finally understood why Zhang Yunzhi and Li Shucai had specially come to Mingyue Tower to wait for her. She was too busy and neglected the teacher and had not come for a long time.

A beam of light shone on Master Liu who was giving a lecture, making her look particularly holy. The little girl below also seemed to be very focused.

Yanyan didn't say anything, but listened quietly for a long time before she led people into the yard and sat under the pavilion in the yard.

The clear sound of chimes rang out and Master Liu came over.

Liu Yanyan stood up and held the teacher who wanted to salute, "Teacher, I am your student, why are you so distant with me?"

Master Liu stood up and said with a smile, "There is a difference between the ruler and the minister. How come you have time to come here today?"

Liu Yanyan looked at Master Liu, and thinking that they might not have said anything, she began to explain, "Master, let's go sit inside! We should talk about this matter slowly, and it can't be explained in a few words here."

Seeing Yanyan's serious face, Master Liu took a few people to his room. After entering the room, he signaled the servant to serve tea.

Liu Yanyan sat on a pear wood chair, looked at Master Liu and said, "Master, please don't bother. The main reason I came this time was because I met Zhang Yunzhi and Li Shucai in Mingyue Tower a few days ago. They said that there are so many students here that many students are crowded together. That's why they thought of looking for me. That's why I came back specially."

Master Liu waved his hands hastily. "They have not had any duties during this period. They have been helping to teach students in the courtyard. I did not expect that they would come to you. It is embarrassing for you. It is because you are incompetent that they came back to you."

Liu Yanyan looked at Master Liu's nervous expression and said, "Master, you should have told me this. I can also share some of the burden for you. A bigger academy can allow more girls to go to school and learn more. This is a good thing. Master, you should have told me this earlier."

Master Liu sighed, "Master, I am incompetent. When I went to raise funds to build the academy, some merchants were willing to donate money, but when I told them it was a girls' academy, they all shook their heads and refused. It seems that after so many years, it is still not recognized for girls to go to academies. Alas! If you hadn't passed the imperial examination and won the first place, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many people coming to the academy to study."

Yanyan looked at the loneliness in the master's eyes and said, "It is also recognized for women to go to school. Didn't I get the top score? It's just that some pedantic men don't want women to study, fearing that they will be outdone. This can only show that they have no ability and no confidence, so they want to suppress women everywhere and want to show off their own abilities." After that, she took out 5 land deeds and house deeds and put them on the table. "Master, these are the house deeds and land deeds of several nearby courtyards. Please keep them."

Master Liu looked at the house deeds and land deeds on the table, choked up and said, "Yanyan is useless to Master, so I have to trouble you in the end. When the courtyards are connected, I will change the name of Liuxin Academy to Liuxin Academy, so that they will all remember that it is you who allows them to study well in the academy and let them remember your kindness."

Looking up in surprise, Liu Yanyan said, "Master, you don't have to be like this. I also came from the academy, and it is my duty to do something for the academy."

Master Liu held Yanyan's hand and said, "Yanyan! I will definitely change this academy to Liuxin Academy. They are all relatives of your family. They are willing to send you here because they saw you pass the imperial examination. You have been to so many places, and I will not be able to bear it if I don't change it! Once these courtyards are connected, this academy will not lose to other men's academies in Beijing. You have really done a great job!"

Liu Yanyan looked at Master Liu's excited face and said, "Master, you should run the academy well. I also hope that more women can pass the exam."

Master Liu nodded excitedly, holding the house deed and the land deed in his hand, tears could not help but fall from the corners of his eyes. "That's great, that's great, they finally don't have to squeeze together."

Liu Yanyan comforted him, "Master, don't cry, don't cry! It's just a few courtyards, don't cry!"

"Master, you are not crying. You are happy."

"As long as you are happy, I can't bear to see you cry."

Master Liu held the house deed and the land deed in his hand happily. "Zhang Yunzhi and Li Shucai have been waiting for their positions. I think it will be soon. However, the good positions have been taken. I'm afraid they will be sent out."

Liu Yanyan said, "Master, do you want me to keep them in Beijing? There are no good jobs now."

Master Liu shook his head. "It's good for them to go out and gain some experience. If they stay in Beijing, their families have no power, and it will be too difficult for them to climb up. If they go out and make achievements, they can have a better future. It's okay to suffer for a few years."

Liu Yanyan looked at Master Liu and nodded slightly. Thinking of how they were hesitant to speak a few days ago, she said, "Master, you are really thinking about them, but are they willing to go out? I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to be sent out. The better counties already have county magistrates."

Master Liu sighed, "Their family has no power or financial resources, and I don't have many connections either. They can only make their own way. If they don't make some efforts, how can they stand up?"

When Liu Yanyan saw that the teacher had no intention of helping them to use their connections, she picked up the teacup on the table and drank her tea by herself.

Master Liu saw that Liu Yanyan didn't say anything, so he didn't say much, "Yanyan, stay for dinner today! I'll ask them to cook some delicious dishes."

Liu Yanyan waved her hand and refused. "Master, I'll give you the things. I'll go back first. I still have to go to the Duke's Mansion. I won't disturb you anymore."

Master Liu then stood up and said, "This old man respectfully sends the princess off."

Liu Yanyan held Master Liu who was bowing and said, "Master, you don't have to be polite. I'll leave first." After saying that, she put her hand on Yuzhu's hand and walked out.

Master Liu also walked beside him, and only turned back to the courtyard after he had sent the man to the carriage.
