The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

In the women's seats, the ladies started talking.

"Madam Jiang? It turns out that she is returning to the capital to reopen a girls' school. I wonder what her rank is and whether she can surpass the senior madam."

"Reopen the girls' school? Since...passed away, no one has mentioned this girls' school anymore."

"Yes, but I think it's a good idea to reopen the girls' school. My aunt went to a girls' school before, and it's very different from the three obediences and four virtues taught in the family school."

"But it's been more than ten years, so it might be difficult to reopen."

"Women with outstanding talents and learning can also serve as officials in the court, just like the female officials of Shangguan. This can also be considered as bringing honor to the family."

"..."

Girls' education is a good thing for girls, and the ladies all agree and are happy about it, but the men have a different opinion.

"Why are you bringing up the past again? Since ancient times, men have been in charge of the outside world and women have been in charge of the inside world. Women are supposed to take care of their husbands and children, manage their own little piece of land in the mansion, and learn some female training and precepts. Why do we need to open a girls' school?"

"That's right. Once they go to the girls' school, their hearts become wild and they don't even listen to their parents, just like the girl from the Lin family..."

Lin held the handkerchief tightly in her hand. The 'daughter of the Lin family' that person was talking about was her.

She had attended a girls' school and felt that it was unreasonable for two strangers to spend their entire lives together based on just one word from their parents.

So she insisted on her own opinion, but in the end she couldn't overcome the customs.

If the late queen were still alive, life would definitely be better for these women. The late queen was an extraordinary woman.

The queen frowned secretly but did not show it on her face.

Naturally, she didn't want to reopen the girls' school.

It was Lin Nanyin who proposed to set up a girls' school, and because of this, Lin Nanyin had a high prestige among women.

Lin Nanyin had been dead for so many years, and women's education had been gradually forgotten. Only then did she, the successor queen, begin to be remembered.

Now the girls' school is about to be reopened. Whenever the word "girls' school" is mentioned, Lin Nanyin will inevitably be mentioned, the woman who makes her hate her with gritted teeth but has to admire her.

If the "Girls' School" reopened, she would live under Lin Nanyin's halo again.

"Your Majesty, many officials now have private schools for girls. It is really unnecessary to reopen girls' schools."

As soon as the queen said this, she felt the eyes of the ladies around her falling on her, but she dared not say anything.

By reopening girls' schools, these girls will have another path to choose from.

As the queen, she not only disagreed but also tried to stop it, which is really infuriating.

"Your Majesty is right. To reopen a girls' school, let alone choosing a location, choosing a teacher is a big problem."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I do not agree with reopening girls' schools."

"..."

For a time, many ministers stood up to oppose it.

Shangguan Jing sneered in her heart and looked at Jiang Miaoduan with contempt.

Did she think she had never thought of reopening the girls' school?

But this is too difficult.

It was completely impossible to communicate with those old pedants and courtiers.

She has not succeeded for more than ten years. Who does Jiang Miaoduan think she is? She wants to reopen a girls' school right away?

Jiang Miaoduan stood up slowly and said, "My Lords, please tell me the reasons why you are against reopening the girls' school."

"Of course, if a woman reads too much, she will become restless."

"May I ask, sir, what do you mean by 'restlessness'?"

"I'm too wild and don't listen to my family's arrangements."

"I don't think that's 'wildness'. I believe that all of you are people who truly love your children. Do you really want to see your daughters like puppets, being manipulated by others and living in a muddle-headed life?"

"Women's every smile, word and action are all restricted. Don't you want to see your wife or daughter smile from the bottom of their heart?"

Someone in the women's seat shouted, "Are you afraid that women will be educated? Are you afraid that you can't compete with them?"

"Nonsense! Am I afraid of a little girl?"

Jiang Miaoduan stood in front of everyone with a firm gaze and a cold voice.

"If you truly love each other, how can you bear to let your wife obey you in everything like a slave?"

"People say that one should marry a virtuous woman, and that reading makes one wise, and can educate better offspring and guide good family traditions."

"Reading can broaden your horizons. You look down on the women in the backyard and are jealous. But they are trapped in that small piece of land. Besides taking care of their husbands and children all day long, what else can they do?"

"If you really want the best for the other person, you should hope that the other person will become better, instead of using excuses to constrain her."

"Women are not all confined to the harem. Fu Hao led troops to conquer the east and west, and defeated more than 20 small countries around. Lady Xian was wise since childhood, had many strategies, and was a master at using troops. Hua Mulan joined the army for her father and made great achievements. There have been so many heroic women since ancient times, I don't think I need to elaborate."

Jiang Miaoduan paused for a moment and glanced at everyone. "Reopening the girls' school is not to compete with or be hostile to men. You don't have to react so strongly."

These powerful words left the officials and their sons speechless.

There was even more support from the women's side.

"Yes! Lady Jiang is right!"

"Old man, if you object again!" The hot-tempered lady glared at her husband.

"Stupid kid, you are so useless, are you afraid you can't compare to your future wife? You should find a powerful wife to take care of you!"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the scene, she felt that her master, who was debating with the scholars, was so dazzling at this moment.

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and bowed to the emperor, then slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, I was brought up by my master, and I did not become the 'rebellious girl' that you all call me. Most parents want the best for their children. I have learned so much, so I naturally understand this truth. How could I disobey my parents?" Unless the parents' decision was indeed inappropriate.

The official who was clamoring just now acted appropriately when he saw Cheng Jiuyuan.

The second girl of the Cheng family is Jiang Miaoduan's apprentice, and she is the most convincing.

Naturally, they also hope that their daughters can be as outstanding as Cheng Jiuyuan.

Cheng Zongyang stood up and bowed to the emperor: "My daughter is right. My humble daughter is well-read, knows right from wrong, and is filial and considerate of my hard work."

Lin also stood up: "Yes, if a woman is educated, the harem will be more peaceful."

Many young men were silent. They admired Miss Cheng's uniqueness. Her confidence and composure were things that many noble ladies did not have. Isn't this what it means to be well-read and elegant?

They also hoped that their sisters and future wives could be like Miss Cheng Er, so they had no reason to oppose the reopening of the girls' school.

Master Zhu, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and everyone's eyes fell on him.

Master Zhu is the emperor's teacher and is also recognized as the most stubborn person.

Everyone guessed that he must be against reopening the girls' school, after all, he was a representative of the old scholars.

He bowed to the leader and said, "Your Majesty."

"Master, please speak."

"I think that reopening girls' schools..."

Everyone looked at him closely. His words were too important and the emperor would listen.

"feasible."
