Mrs. Mingde took a step back, refused her support, and bowed respectfully, "Thank you for your grace."

After she bowed to Concubine De Liang, she took her seat. From beginning to end, there was a faint smile on her face, but her eyebrows were distant and she was very careful.

Seeing her like this, Concubine De's smile in her eyebrows and eyes was still unbroken. After she sat down, she asked someone to go to the snack tea and said in a warm voice: "This is the new tea this year, the top snow mountain wild chinen. I know that my wife loves to drink this, so I will keep it for you."

Mrs. Mingde thanked again, sitting there with a decent manner like a textbook.

Where Gu Jiu and the others sat, they could clearly take their conversation and behavior into their eyes.

Seeing that Mrs. Mingde was very unfamiliar, Gu Jiu also asked quietly: "Mother, who is this?"

When she heard the eunuch sing, she felt very unfamiliar. Why had she never heard of Mrs. Mingde in her previous life?

Lin knew a little about her. After hearing this, he explained softly: "This is the first-class lady of the imperial decree personally named by the emperor, and the name is Mingde. You don't know her, because she rarely socializes in Beijing over the years, and even palace banquets can be recommended. It is indeed rare for her to appear this time."

After hearing her say it, Gu Jiu became more and more confused, and asked softly: "Is this Mrs. Mingde very powerful?"

As soon as she said this, Zhou Yao, who was standing by, immediately responded: "She is not just awesome. Don't look at so many noble ladies in the capital, but there are only a handful of women who can truly make the Hanlin Academy admire them. And she is one of them."

Hanlin Academy is the best student of Western Chu. Everyone here is above the top, but they all have real skills, so even though they have a bad temper, they are the most popular.

If they can all respect, this Mrs. Mingde is probably of great origin.

Seeing Gu Jiu’s eyes confused, Lin nodded with a smile and said, “That’s natural. Speaking of which, she can be said to be a legendary woman in our Western Chu.”

Because no one noticed this corner, Lin told Gu Jiu softly about the deeds of Mrs. Mingde.

"Her parents' family is said to be unknown. You think you have heard of her husband's family, which is Pingyuan Bo's Mansion. But what she married was the Pingyuan Bo who died of illness first."

The Pingyuan Bo was also a soldier in his early years, but he was injured on the battlefield and became a useless man. After only one year of wedding, the Pingyuan Bo couldn't stand it and passed away.

"Pingyuan Bo has no descendants, only a young brother who was only eight years old. At that time, there were rumors in the capital that it was that Pingyuan Bo's Mansion would collapse from now on."

But not.

Mrs. Pingyuan Bo forced herself to support the entire Pingyuan Bo Mansion as a woman. She did not remarry or live in seclusion. She showed up in business and traveled from north to south. Not only did she support the Pingyuan Bo Mansion family, but she also pulled the brother-in-law into a man who stood up.

"Later, Pingyuan Bo Mansion established a firm foothold in Beijing, and the new Pingyuan Bo also supported the family's lintel. The first thing he did after he made a contribution was to ask for a title for his eldest sister-in-law, but she refused."

She refused the reward and title, taught her family affairs step by step to her sister-in-law, and she retreated behind the scenes.

Everyone thought that she would definitely enjoy wealth from now on.

After all, after so many years, she has managed to survive.

Unexpectedly, she did something even more shocking.

In Shangjingzhong, I set up a college.

"Academy?"

Seeing Gu Jiu's face full of surprise, Lin nodded with admiration in his eyes: "Yes, she opened a college and most of the students she received were descendants of poor families. She did not do fame and fortune, but only for justice. Do you know how she, the lady of the imperial decree, came from? The twenty-eight students who were sponsored and taught by her, came together for petition."

All the students were named on the list and petitioned the emperor.

Her kindness moved the emperor and the officials in the court, a woman, did something they had never thought of.

And I can't find any mistakes.

The emperor wanted to make her the first female official in Western Chu, but she refused, saying that she only wanted to teach and educate.

"Later, the emperor personally gave her the name 'Mingde' and was granted the title of the first-rank Xingguo Madam."

And no one in the court had any objections to this imperial edict.

Until she finished speaking, Gu Jiu looked at the lady Mingde and had completely become admiration.

She never thought that there would be such a woman in this world.

What I carry in my heart is not a small area, but mountains, rivers, rivers, and nine states in the world.

Her pattern made Gu Jiu admire him, but he felt a little ashamed.

It is said that people can understand gains and losses by using them as mirrors, but now she truly understands this sentence.

As soon as Gu Jiu thought of this, he heard Lin laughing again: "Speaking of it, Lin An might have seen her."

As soon as she said this, Gu Jiu was stunned and asked, "How could Lin An have seen her?"

Although she taught poor students, Lin An had never attended school before.

Upon hearing this, Lin smiled and said, "The school organized by Mrs. Mingde has now been incorporated into Huaiyuan Academy. And she is the dean of this term!"

Huaiyuan Academy is the best college in Western Chu and is famous all over the world.

The dean of the academy is changed every three years.

When the new president was replaced last year, Mrs. Mingde undoubtedly became the new president.

After hearing what she said, Gu Jiu suddenly felt a little concerned and smiled: "Then another day, I will definitely meet this lady by looking for Lin An."

Such a great man really made her admire him.

Seeing Gu Jiu's yearning in his eyes, Lin couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he understood her mood and exclaimed with a smile: "A person like Mrs. Mingde is also the number one person in Western Chu among women."

Not only was the first female teacher in Western Chu, but even looking through history, she found that there were very few people like her.

"Not it. If I have the chance, I really want to meet her."

Unfortunately, a vulgar person like me would not be able to catch this lady's eyes.

As soon as she thought of this, she heard a woman whispering on the side: "It's just a female teacher who teaches, and it's worthy of being so popular among them. In my opinion, it's just a false reputation."

After the woman finished speaking, another person immediately agreed: "No, as a woman, she should have followed the rules at home, but she didn't show up and was still mingling with a group of men, which was simply embarrassing!"

Although this is small, she heard it very clearly because it is close to Gu Jiu.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked over there, and saw two young girls whispering.

Gu Jiu didn't know him, but he could probably guess where they were sitting, because he was afraid his family background was not very good.

Otherwise, I would have squeezed over to the noble man long ago.

Zhou Miao was a straightforward person. She had already admired the story of this lady just now. Now that she heard someone slandering her, she was a little displeased and said in a deep voice: "The two girls look decent, don't you know the reason why not discuss right or wrong behind the scenes? If you really look down on me, why don't you go out to argue?"

As soon as she said this, the two women immediately looked here. When they saw that it was Zhou Miao, the anger in their eyes instantly went down a little, and said, "What does it have to do with you when we speak?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Miao snorted coldly and said, "Your words have nothing to do with me, but those words are so dirty that my ears are related to me!"

I heard someone say that the two women were a little guilty, but now they see that their location is even more remote than themselves, so they are not afraid at all.

"how?"

One of the women had a bad temper. Seeing that they didn't look like noble people, they immediately retorted: "Am I wrong? Women's virtues and female rings were originally something women had to read from childhood. I just judged according to the rules. On the contrary, you look like a shrew, so arrogant and willful, and your family dares to let you go out?"
