After that night, Jing Xinglan spent more and more time away from home during the day.

Rouge and Qiao Jing talked once.But for some reason, Qiao Jing's reaction made her feel a little strange——

After listening to her narration, the black-haired young man just said vaguely, "Let him go, don't worry about it", as if he already knew it?

But Qiao Jing also discovered that he and Jing Xinglan both have their own things to do on weekdays. After they leave home, Yan Zhi can only cook and clean at home, and at most comb and feed 008. Feeding, every day is very monotonous, and I don't even have a friend of the same age.

"I want Rouge to go to school."

One night, Qiao Jing suddenly said this to Jing Xinglan.

Hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows, but he didn't seem surprised by his expression: "At her age, it's time for her to go to school. Are you planning to send her to a girls' school?"

Although all institutions of higher education do not accept female students, ordinary female enlightenment classes are still opened.

Qiao Jing nodded, but quickly shook his head again.

"Rouge is very smart," he said, "especially in literature. Recently, when I was free, I also taught her some characters. She learns very quickly... If she only goes to an ordinary girls' school, it will delay her talent."

"I want her to go to college," he confessed.

Jing Xinglan opened her mouth: "She's only 14 years old, so it's too early to talk about going to college now?"

Qiao Jing: "It's just an idea, I haven't had time to tell her personally yet."

But when he saw Jing Xinglan who had a very serious expression and seemed to be really thinking about his proposal, the corners of his lips slightly raised a slight arc.

"Thank you." He said softly.

In this age when women's study is considered absurd for most people, only Jing Xinglan would hear Qiao Jing's proposal of "I want Rouge to go to college". I will really help him think about how to turn this idea into reality.

Although he was used to being alone, when he came to a strange era, the feeling that someone was still by his side still gave Qiao Jing some comfort.

At least, he's not alone.

Jing Xinglan looked blank: "Huh? Why did you suddenly say thank you to me?"

But Qiao Jing didn't intend to explain any more this time.

The black-haired young man withdrew his gaze, lay flat on the bed, and silently retracted his head into his bed, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.

"Turn off the lights, I'm sleepy."

Jing Xinglan: "..."

He looked at Qiao Jing who was lying next to him but deliberately pretended not to hear him, pursed his lips tightly, and said to himself a hundred times that it's not the time yet, then smiled and said "good night", and stretched out his hand to pull the lamp .

Another night passed.

on Monday.

During class in the afternoon, Qiao Jing clearly sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere in the classroom.

But Zhang Shuqi had already left, and he had no other acquaintances in the school. Even if Qiao Jing wanted to know, there was no one to ask, so he could only sit silently in his seat, waiting for the professor to come in for class.

But what he didn't expect was that the professor who was supposed to come to the class at this time, unexpectedly disappeared for a long time today.

As time passed, the discussion in the classroom became louder and louder.

And Qiao Jing also reluctantly restored the whole story of the professor's late arrival from the students' discussions——

The cause of the incident turned out to be a newspaper that Principal Wen bought on the street this morning.

Principal Wen would get up early every morning to walk around the campus, and sometimes he would go to the street to buy some candy for his granddaughter. Of course, only his own dentist would know if there was such a granddaughter.In short, his habit is basically known to all the teachers and students of Jingluo University.

But this time is different.

Principal Wen came back from a walk in the morning, and after reading the newspaper, he stayed in the office for a whole morning, even when Zuo Xiangting looked for him, he didn't see him.In the end, he also took advantage of the lunch break to gather all the staff in the school—even including those highly respected professors—together, and announced a major decision he made as the principal:

Jingluo University is preparing to recruit female students from the next academic year.

As soon as the words fell, a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Even if Wen Chunqiu is highly respected in Jingluo University, this action can be regarded as completely stabbing the hornet's nest.

There is no precedent for institutions of higher learning to enroll women, looking at the whole country!

On the spot, a professor stood up and objected fiercely, saying that what kind of tricks can women learn when they study?In the end, it is always the husband and the child.And now that the school is full of male students, don't you know how much trouble the recruiting of women will bring to the normal teaching of the teachers and how much slander the school will attract from the outside world?

There are many people present who hold the same opinion as him.

It's just that because of Principal Wen's usual prestige, they haven't stood up to speak immediately like this professor.

Wen Chunqiu himself is well aware of how many people will oppose and criticize this decision. Therefore, he did not immediately refute the professor's point of view, but turned his head to look at Zuo Xiangting who was sitting silently in his seat. : "Xuanhua, what do you think?"

Zuo Xiangting is notoriously conservative. Even though he always respected Principal Wen, no one thought that he would agree with Wen Chunqiu on this point.

Even the professor who had always been at odds with Zuo Xiangting couldn't help but look eagerly at him, hoping that he could help them persuade Principal Wen at the critical moment, and give up the idea of ​​recruiting female students as soon as possible.

It's ridiculous!

"Do you know what Zuo Xiangting said at the time?" A student was sitting in a seat, surrounded by a circle of people, all listening to him recounting the scene with relish, even Qiao Jing didn't know it. Fascinated, "He only said one sentence! Immediately made that professor speechless!"

"What did you say? Say it!"

"That's right, don't keep it up!"

"Don't worry, this is just about to be mentioned," the student coughed, "Professor Zuo said that he didn't quite understand why Professor Fang objected. If they were talking about it in the outside world, then the most vocal of them over the years is the change of Principal Wen; If the teaching is troublesome, could it be that there is an extra female student in the class, and Professor Fang is not in the mood to attend the class? Then he really has nothing to say."

After he finished speaking, the whole class roared with laughter:

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

"Wonderful! Mr. Zuo deserves to be an internationally renowned barrister!"

"That's right, what you said is really embarrassing!"

Some people couldn't wait to ask: "And then? After Zuo Xiangting finished speaking, there will be no more to say, right?"

"What else is there to say?" The student sneered, "Tell me, Zuo Xiangting has already spoken to this point, how can others refute? Is it because I think I recruited a female student and I don't want to go to class? Replaced? Besides, there is no need for Principal Wen to discuss this kind of matter with the teachers, he can directly decide on his own, how can such a thing go wrong."

Qiao Jing heard that all the students in the class were laughing and looking forward to the arrival of the female classmate, and none of them objected to Principal Wen's proposal, so she was very happy.

It is a great thing for the country and the people to allow women to have the opportunity to receive higher education, both for women and for this long-closed country.

After a while, someone came to the class to inform them that this class would not be held because Professor Fang was ill.

But everyone looked at each other tacitly, and they all knew that this "disorder" was probably made alive by Zuo Xiangting.

But who cares so much, don't have to go to class, long live!

Qiao Jing also packed her things and prepared to go home early. Maybe she could teach Yan Zhi a few more words today.

But as soon as he walked to the door with his bag on his back, he saw the classmate who had just come to inform them that there was no class, took a sudden step forward, stared at his face and asked, "Are you Qiao Jing?"

Qiao Jing paused, and nodded hesitantly.

"……Is there a problem?"

"Oh, it's not me," the other party said, "Mr. Zuo Xiangting asked you to go to his office. Principal Wen seems to be there too."

Qiao Jing tightened his grip on the strap of his satchel: "What do you want me to do, sir?"

"I don't know, you just go." The student said.

There was no other way, Qiao Jing could only go to Zuo Xiangting's office one more time.

In fact, not long ago, he had already translated the book that Zuo Xiangting handed over to him. When handing it over, Zuo Xiangting simply flipped through it and didn't make any comments. Mirror can go.

At that time, Qiao Jing observed his expression, and felt that even if his translation was flawed, it shouldn't be a big problem. In addition, there was no news from Zuo Xiangting, so he forgot about it. back.

Could it be that there is something wrong with my translation?

While thinking about it, Qiao Jing came to Zuo Xiangting's closed office door, reached out and knocked on the door twice: "Sir, I..."

Before he could report himself, Zuo Xiangting's voice came from inside:

"Come in."

Qiao Jing pushed open the door and found that, as the student said, Principal Wen was also in the room.

"Hello principal, hello sir." He bowed slightly to the two of them.

Wen Chunqiu looked at the reserved black-haired young man in front of him with a smile, and turned to Zuo Xiangting: "This is the student you told me about earlier?"

Zuo Xiangting gave a "hmm" and waved to him with a thick stack of translations written by Qiao Jing, "Come here. I have a few questions, and I'll tell you."

Qiao Jing subconsciously glanced at Wen Chunqiu, who was sitting next to him, drinking tea unhurriedly, hesitated for a moment, and walked over.

He saw the "Dongfang Beijing News" on Zuo Xiangting's desk at a glance, and suddenly had a strong premonition——

Could it be the newspaper that made Headmaster Wen suddenly propose to recruit female students...

Probably because Qiao Jing's distracted appearance was too obvious, Zuo Xiangting raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but he was so good-tempered and not angry, he just tapped the newspaper with his pen cap: "Why, the novels published here, you also Read?"

Qiao Jing nodded subconsciously, but then shook her head quickly.

Zuo Xiangting frowned deeply: "Nod and shake your head, what do you mean? Did you read it or didn't?"

Just when Qiao Jing was in a dilemma, Wen Chunqiu, who seemed to be only interested in drinking tea, finally opened his mouth to smooth things over.He joked: "Xuanhua, why are you being so fierce to the students? You obviously like it very much in your heart, but you have to put on a fierce look on your face. I don't know where you learned this bad habit."

Zuo Xiangting's eyes widened in an instant: "Principal Wen!"

"Why, am I wrong?" Wen Chunqiu asked back with a smile. After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zuo Xiangting to defend himself, he turned his gaze to Qiao Jing who was standing at the desk at a loss, "I heard Xuan Hua said, are you still the librarian of our school? Then let me ask you, does the library subscribe to the "Dongfang Beijing News"?"

Qiao Jing: "I'm just working part-time during the winter vacation, and I'm no longer an administrator...but they do subscribe to this newspaper."

"is it?"

Wen Chunqiu put down the teacup in his hand, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Yan Heqing," he suddenly uttered a word, and Qiao Jing's body tensed instantly, but soon he realized that he hadn't lost his horse because Wen Chunqiu kept staring out the window, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I have been paying attention to the development of the domestic literary world, for example, I can hardly remember the names of the newcomers who were introduced to me. But this—do you young people know him?"

Qiao Jing pursed her lips, and asked boldly, "What do you want him to do?"

"There's no reason," Wen Chunqiu looked away, and smiled at him, "I just want to see you."

He turned to the left and said to the court: "Xuanhua, have you read this novel too? What do you think?"

"What can there be, it's just a novel." Zuo Xiangting obviously didn't like this kind of popular vernacular novels, but under Wen Chunqiu's disapproving gaze, he still reluctantly gave a pertinent evaluation: "The writing style is still good. But, the subject matter, novelty is novelty, but it is suspected of sensationalism, but I have to wait for the author to confirm this."

Wen Chunqiu nodded: "Indeed. To write an article that has never been written by anyone in the past, Yan Heqing has great ambitions, but I don't know if his writing skills can control this kind of subject matter."

After all, he is a veteran who has been in the political, academic and literary circles for decades. No matter how amiable he looks on the surface, his eyes are more accurate than anyone else.Like this time, Zuo Xiangting didn't want him to meet Qiao Jing so early at first, but Wen Chunqiu insisted on seeing this "good seedling" who was praised by his old friends in private, and helped him check it out by the way. Observe the character of this young man.

As far as the result is concerned, Qiao Jing still satisfied him.

"Well, the tea has been drunk, and people have watched it, so I, an old man, will not be in the way here." He stood up, and brushed the non-existing dust on the gown with his sleeve, "Go ahead! I opened a noodle restaurant, and I just went to taste it."

Zuo Xiangting looked at him speechlessly, probably feeling that Wen Chunqiu's various behaviors today are really incomprehensible.

Qiao Jing, on the other hand, reacted quickly: "...Principal, go slowly."

Wen Chunqiu waved his hand and left the office under the watchful eyes of the two.

But no one, including Zuo Xiangting, knew that Wen Chunqiu had already planned to recruit female students.

Although there have been occasional calls for such things in the society over the past few years, they have basically failed to stir up any splashes. Wen Chunqiu has never been able to find a good opportunity to mention this matter until this morning, when he inadvertently opened the The "Dongfang Beijing News" -

As the principal of the highest institution of higher learning in the country, when he saw the tragic experience of these prostitutes and prostitutes, he would naturally think of the issue of education immediately.

Wen Chunqiu couldn't help thinking, if these women had a chance to receive education, wouldn't it be possible to reduce the chances of tragedies similar to those in "All Beings Crossing"?

If there are more female college students in this country, will the fate of the entire female group be changed?

If women, who accounted for nearly half of China's population, had the same educational opportunities as men, what kind of vitality and brilliance would this ancient country radiate?

Moreover, just after reading the beginning of Yan Heqing's serialized novel, Wen Chunqiu dared to assert that this "All Beings Crossing" will definitely cause an unprecedented huge disturbance in China!

Is there any better time than now to propose the admission of female students?

"Hello, principal."

When Wen Chunqiu was going down the stairs, he met several students passing by to deliver materials.

As soon as they saw Wen Chunqiu, they immediately stepped aside respectfully to make way for him, and greeted him very politely.

The kind old man with gray hair and wearing a gray gown all the year round also nodded at them with a smile: "Hello, it's getting late, let's have dinner after work."

"Good principal."

The students suddenly showed a flattered expression when they received the concern from the principal.

This is also the reason why Wen Chunqiu, as the principal, is so popular among the teachers and students of Jingluo University.

He walked on the stone path with his hands behind his back, looking at the orange-red sunset in the sky and the young students walking in twos and threes on the campus in the afterglow, and let out a long sigh.

There is a bit of old melancholy in the voice, but also a little expectation for the future.

"The generations of life are endless..."

I don't know, what kind of words will future generations use to comment on this decision he took the risk of making?
