"Prince, are we really going to move back?" Lao Fu, the housekeeper, asked Zhao Yan with a reluctance. This was the front yard of the other yard. The servants of men and women ran around and were busy packing their things. The carts parked in the middle of the yard were almost filled, looking like the scene of moving. ∈♀

"Old Fu, I know you can't bear to leave, but I lived in a villa that was originally intended to be quiet, but you look at the surroundings of the villa, both military academy and academy, and the Taoist sect also planned to build another great temple nearby. In this way, this place is even more lively than Tokyo City, so it's better to move back to the royal palace in the city." Zhao Yan looked at the busy scene around him and couldn't help but sigh. He was also very reluctant to leave this villa that had lived in for more than two years, but it was time to leave now.

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Lao Fu also sighed. He moved to a villa and lived in a villa just because he was helpless after the flood. However, after living in a villa for a long time, Lao Fu also felt that living in a villa was more comfortable than in Tokyo City, and he also had feelings for the people and things here. Now Zhao Yan suddenly said that he wanted to move back, which made Lao Fu feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Yan also knew that Lao Fu was unwilling to leave, but he had no choice. First, as he said, military academies, colleges and Taoist temples were added around the villa, and it was no longer peaceful. Second, Zhao Yan also had to carry out some reforms to primary schools so that primary schools could accommodate more students. However, in this way, primary schools could no longer be opened outside the city. After all, the students' contacts were really inconvenient. Even if there was a carriage to pick them up, it would take a lot of time, and there were also safety problems.

Although Lao Fu was reluctant, he would not disobey Zhao Yan's wishes. He shook his head and turned around to direct the servants to pack up his things. Zhao Yan also walked around the yard and then returned to the inner house. At this time, the inner house was like the outer courtyard, and was busy. Cao Ying took Mixue around the various yards to see if there was anything I forgot to bring?

Zhao Yan also wandered around the inner house. He wanted to help with something, but he was not very familiar with the family affairs. So he couldn't help much, but instead caused some trouble. As a result, Cao Ying rushed back to the study. In the end, Zhao Yan felt really bored and simply lay on the bed and covered her head and slept.

By the time Zhao Yan woke up, it was already afternoon and the things at home were almost done, but Cao Ying and the others were all busy and they ate some lunch casually. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan had not eaten yet, and no one called him. This made Zhao Yan feel a little resentful. He got up and ate something by himself, and then ran to Yelu Si to tease his daughter Siling to play.

They waited until the next morning, when the other yard had finished packing things. Then Zhao Yan and Cao Ying and others took a carriage and led more than a dozen large carts to the county prince's mansion in the city. Speaking of which, although Zhao Yan usually did not live in the palace, there were many people in the palace responsible for their daily cleaning. A few days ago, Zhao Yan had already notified the people in the palace to come back. So the palace had been cleaned up long ago, and Zhao Yan and the others could move in directly when they came back.

With yesterday's lesson, Zhao Yan did not help with Cao Ying again this time, but instead called Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru to take a carriage out of the palace and rushed to the intersection of Lecture Hall Lane and Matou Street on the east side of the palace. There was originally a large garden here. It was the dowry of Princess Dening when she got married. This time she heard that Zhao Yan was going to run a primary school in the city center. Princess Dening, who was far away in Guangzhou, specially sent a letter back and gave the garden to Zhao Yan, so that he could do whatever he wanted.

In fact, before Zhao Yan decided to reform the primary school, she had already selected several places in the city, but the location was not as good as Princess Dening's garden. You should know that the Lecture Hall Lane is close to the imperial city and the terrain is relatively high. Even if it was flooded last time, it would definitely not be flooded. In addition, the name Lecture Hall Lane is also very suitable for primary schools, so Zhao Yan finally decided to choose the primary school site here.

"Hey, why is this so familiar?" As he was about to arrive at Princess Dening's garden, Zhao Yan in the carriage suddenly said in surprise, because he found that the streets he passed by looked very familiar, as if he had been here before. Of course, he had been to Tokyo City many places, and it was not surprising to encounter a familiar place. But when he looked at the familiar environment around him, he felt that this place seemed very important to him.

"Hehe, why did the prince forget? Not far ahead of this place is where the Xiyuan Elegant Festival was held. However, since the Prince made a big splash at the Xiyuan Elegant Festival last time, the Xiyuan Elegant Festival has been closed. I heard that even the Xiyuan is abandoned." When Ouyang Wanling heard Zhao Yan's words, she couldn't help but smile. She was also present at the Xiyuan Elegant Festival, but she never thought that she would go to this point with Zhao Yan at that time.

"Xiyuan!" Zhao Yan was surprised when he heard this familiar and unfamiliar name. Thinking of the incident when he participated in the Xiyuan Elegant Festival, he felt as if he was in a dream.

"Actually, the garden that Princess Dening gave us is called Dongyuan, which is close to the West Garden." At this time, Ouyang Wanling explained softly, and also looked at Zhao Yan with some anxiety, because she knew that the West Garden represented a unfortunate marriage of Princess Bao'an, and Princess Bao'an was one of the people Zhao Yan cared about the most, so she was a little worried that Zhao Yan would think more.

"So that's it. Is Xiyuan still in Wang Shi's hands now?" Zhao Yan suddenly asked, and his face was very calm when he mentioned Wang Shi. Since Wang Shi regretted looking for Zhao Yan to remarry Princess Bao'an last time, Zhao Yan has already regarded this person as an irrelevant passerby.

"It seems that it is gone. Wang Shi had returned to his hometown in Taiyuan half a year ago. It is said that before he left the capital, he handed over the prince's mansion and the Xiyuan to the court. Now the Xiyuan should still belong to the royal property, but the Xiyuan is large and there are not many people to take care of it, so the garden is a bit abandoned." Ouyang Wanling said again. Although she does not live in the capital, she usually has many friends in the boudoir. As a result, a few women gather together, so naturally, the parents and other families have endless chats, so she knows more about what Wang Shiyuan is doing.

"So that's it, but this is good news. If you can come here too, you can set up the girls' school there!" Zhao Yan couldn't help but nod and said to himself when he heard this.

"Husband, do you really want to set up a girls' school?" Yan Yuru asked in surprise when he heard Zhao Yan's words. One of the most important ones in the reform of primary schools is the boys' and girls' branch schools, which allows women to have the right to receive education.

"Of course, look at Ya'er and the others, their performance in school is better than that of boys like Xue Li and the fourth brother. This shows that women are not worse than men, and even better in some aspects. Since that's the case, why not give them a chance to have the right to education?" Zhao Yan replied with a righteous look on his face.

"My husband said so well. I also think women are not worse than men. As long as they are educated the same way, they will even do better than men!" Ouyang Wanling also agreed with excitement when she heard Zhao Yan's words.

Ouyang Wanling was unable to marry because of her reputation, which made her feel very wronged. Gradually, she developed a stubborn temper and even had a resistance to the patriarchal society she was in. In fact, this was the initial feminism. Of course, even Ouyang Wanling herself did not discover these things. Now she just simply thinks that men can do it, and women can do it.

However, Yan Yuru saw Ouyang Wanling's excited appearance, looked at Zhao Yan's solemn expression, but smiled secretly, then leaned into Zhao Yan's ear and whispered: "Husband, why do I think you want to set up a girls' school? Actually, it is because Sister Wanling is a woman and it is not convenient to manage the primary school with many male teachers. So she came up with such an idea, so she can let Sister Wanling continue to do what she likes to do, and you don't have to worry about her contact with other men!"

"No, being a husband is sincerely contributing to the cause of liberation for women. How can you think so dirty?" Zhao Yan turned his head and whispered when he heard Yan Yuru's words, but his tone was so guilty.

In fact, Yan Yuru guessed it well. More than 80% of the reason why Zhao Yan set up a girl's school was because of Ouyang Wanling. With the reform of primary schools, there will definitely be male teachers in primary schools in the future. In addition, in the current social environment, most people will only send boys to school. In this way, Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru will become very inconvenient in school, and may even attract some gossip. As the saying goes, people are terrifying. Even if Zhao Yan doesn't care, he will worry that Ouyang Wanling will feel uncomfortable after hearing this.

Of course, Zhao Yan could also make Ouyang Wanling stop being a teacher, but during this period he found that Ouyang Wanling was different from Xue Ning'er, Yelu Si and others. She was a very thoughtful woman, and she also liked the sense of accomplishment brought by educating children. Zhao Yan could not give all the women around her a complete love and marriage, so he hoped to make up for them in other aspects. Since Ouyang Wanling likes to be a teacher, he would find a way to let her do it. So in this case, the idea of ​​girls' school appeared.
