"Although Wang Jia was not as favored at home as the twins her stepmother later gave birth to, she is the eldest daughter of the family after all, and has not fallen behind in what she should learn."
"She is not bad at math, and during the trial lecture competition before, we also saw that when she was giving lectures, it was as if a soul was suddenly injected into the clay embryo, and her whole person became agile, which proves that
She actually worked as a female master
Although the content of her trial lectures was indeed a bit inappropriate, it can be seen that she prepared carefully. I think since the spring has begun, we have planned to select a group of female masters, so why not
Give her a chance and let her try again."
Li stretched out her right index finger and tapped it gently on the huanghuali wood table, and said to Qingyan and Tana unhurriedly.
When Qingyan heard what An Bin said, she also had some thoughts in her heart.
An Bin's words are actually very objective. If we don't mention the content of "Female Commandments" that Jing Bin talked about at that time, just evaluating her on-the-spot performance is indeed quite good. As long as she survives the training period in a down-to-earth manner, she will be able to move forward three feet.
The podium is used to teach and educate people.
But the problem is that a person's personality is basically finalized when he reaches adulthood. Now it is obvious that Jingbi has been completely brainwashed by the content of "The Female Commandment". Although in the current environment, it can never be said that
Wang Jia's thoughts and actions are flawed, but the little girls in the college are all in a sensitive period of forming their views.
Well, at their age, their temperament is easily influenced by their elders at home and outside teachers. But Qingyan doesn’t want those cute and smart little girls to be polluted by some ideological dross that restrains women.
opportunity, so she followed suit and raised her own questions:
"But Sister An, if Concubine Jing inadvertently instills the ideas in "Girls' Commandments" into the princesses and princesses when teaching arithmetic in the future, it will run counter to the philosophy of the college. All three of us know it.
Then "The Women's Commandments" is really not a good thing."
"Yes, I also think what Sister Jing said makes sense."
As soon as Qingyan finished speaking, Tana nodded and said quickly:
"I didn't know what "The Female Commandments" was before, but now that I understand what it is, I deeply feel that this kind of book is just garbage that turns a good little girl into a weak fool. The girls in the Qing Dynasty themselves are worse than
We Mongolian girls are quiet and shy. If we put all those thoughts of 'submitting to men' into our heads,
I don’t think they can survive on the prairie where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong. On the grassland, only if you have a strong temper, a crackling whip in your hand, and a tough and strong heart can you live smoothly and comfortably. If you have to turn yourself into
A submissive little white rabbit with no offensive power will only be left to be bullied."
An Bin saw the two people sitting opposite who were drinking tea leisurely. After hearing her words, they all turned into slightly frowning faces in distress. She couldn't help but pat her thighs and burst out laughing:
"Hahahaha, Sister Jing, Tana, am I the kind of unreliable person? Since I have said this, I must have someone to rely on. If it were the situation that you were worried about before, it might be safe.
It’s impossible to say that it will really happen in class, but people’s temperament will always change slightly after experiencing some major blows in their lives.”
"This year, Concubine Jing came to the Changchun Palace to chat with me quite a lot. I think she has really changed, so I thought of recommending her to try. But in the end, whether she can be admitted or not depends on her.
Sister Jing has made the decision, so I’ll leave the words here for now, and you will definitely be very surprised when you see her trying it out again.”
Qingyan looked at Concubine An's confident look when she said this, and couldn't help but feel a little curious, so she simply continued:
"Well, since Sister An has brought the topic to this point, I think we should release the information about the college's re-recruitment this afternoon?"
"Now the North Fifth Institute also has classrooms. After the Lantern Festival, we will hold another trial teaching competition directly in the North Fifth Institute. Before the school starts, we will select a few more talented and potential new teachers to train and train them.
What happens again is that Concubine Wen suddenly resigns and can't find anyone to take her place?"
"If Sister An really thinks that Jingbi is good, you can encourage her to participate again when the time comes. In the end, we will make a decision based on the results of the trial. How about this?"
"Okay, I will send someone to Jingyang Palace to say hello to her after I return to the palace."
After An Bin heard this, her eyes lit up, and she smiled and nodded in agreement.
Tana also said she had no objection, and the matter was settled.
Then the three of them chatted for more than two-quarters of an hour. When the three children who ran to the yard to play with tops suddenly ran back, they realized that the snow outside was gradually getting heavier. Tana and An Bin were busy picking up the sleeping little one.
Qi and Xiaoba, bundled up tightly and with bulging bags, hurriedly said goodbye to Qingyan and went back to the palace.
After Yinti and Yinreng left together, Qingyan asked Zhang Tianxi to spread the news about the college's recruitment. In order to appear more formal, she went to the study to write a "recruitment announcement" on rice paper and gave instructions.
Bai Lu waited for the snow to stop, glued it to the big pillar at the entrance of Beiwu School, and went to prepare for the new round of trial lecture competition.
After all the preparations were completed, it was already three days later on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
The sixth day of the Lunar New Year is the time to resume business. The officials of the imperial court began to work in the yamen, and the large and small shops in the capital also resumed business one after another. The common people started to prepare for the new year.
After working hard, Xiaosi's annual vacation was over. Early in the morning on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, he carried his doggy backpack and ran to Nansan School to study in high spirits.
More than half a month passed in a flash. On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather was sunny and there was no biting cold wind. The second round of the trial lecture competition was finally about to begin.
At the beginning of the morning, Qingyan and Xiaosi were having breakfast in the side hall of the main hall of Chuxiu Palace.
Xiaosi, who was wearing an autumn-colored winter robe, sat on a carved chair and finished eating the three shrimp dumplings on his small plate. Then he reached out and took the tea eggs that the imperial concubine had peeled and boiled with Wuyishan's Dahongpao to him.
Unexpectedly, before he put the tea egg in his mouth, he heard a faint voice: "Empress Jing!"
The mother and son followed the sound and happened to see Bai Lu leading Liang Jiugong, opening the cotton curtain and walking into the side hall. The person in Liang Jiugong's arms was wearing a small pink winter robe, with beautiful beads and a pearl hairband on his head.
Two little knots are combed symmetrically on the left and right sides.
This was the first time that the two of them had seen this large and small group come to Chuxiu Palace. Qingyan and Xiaosi looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"This servant pays my respects to the noble concubine."
Liang Jiugong saw that Concubine Jing was wearing a silver-red winter coat with white fox fur, and a plum red and white jade hairpin stuck sideways on her head. She had obviously packed up and was going to the North Fifth Institute after dinner. She was busy with a smile on her face.
Bow down and salute.
"Why did you choose this time to come here?"
After Qingyan came to her senses, she immediately stood up from the chair, walked a few steps to the two of them and asked with a smile.
"Replying to your Majesty, the Emperor knows that you are going to hold a trial lecture competition at the North Fifth Academy today. Princess Kejing is in her early three years and is going to attend the enlightenment class at the Princess Academy to start studying. Therefore, the Emperor asked the servant to
The princess sent it to visit the academy with you."
Liang Jiugong replied with a smile.
After listening to Liang Jiugong's words, Qingyan felt that his reason sounded a bit far-fetched. If Kangxi wanted his youngest daughter to visit the college, couldn't it be done at any time? Why did he choose today, and he still had breakfast?
time to come.
Because there was something in her mind that she couldn't figure out, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Kejing, and then she realized that the little girl's pair of dark, round, almond-shaped eyes were very moist, as if they had been washed by water, and if she looked carefully, they were also very moist.
You can see that her eye sockets are slightly red, and the tip of her nose is also a little red. She originally thought it was because of the cold weather. She was frozen red by the cold air on the way from Qianqing Palace, but the actual situation seemed more like she was crying?
As soon as this thought passed through her mind, Qingyan stretched out her arms to hold Xiao Kejing in her arms, and casually touched her belly with her hands. When she found that it was a little dry, she knew that she had not eaten yet.
, then tilted his head and asked her with a warm smile:
"Ms. Jing and Fourth Brother haven't finished their breakfast yet. Would Yaya want to have something to eat with us?"
"No, I'm not hungry."
Ke Jing shook her head hesitantly, but as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach made two honest "gurgling" sounds.
The side hall was very quiet, so the voice was very clear. After the little girl reacted, she immediately stretched out her hands to cover her belly, and her round face suddenly turned red.
Everyone pretended not to hear, Liang Jiugong also blinked at Concubine Jing and leaned over and said:
"Your Majesty, that servant has left first. Your Majesty is still waiting for your servant to serve you."
"Okay, Bai Lu, go and see Mr. Liang off."
Qingyan also winked at Bai Lu, smiled and waved goodbye to Liang Jiugong.
"Yaya, try this tea egg, it's delicious."
After Qingyan took the little girl to wash her hands, she placed her on the carved chair next to Xiaosi and sat down. Then she peeled off a tea egg and handed it to Xiaokejing.
"Yeah, thank you, Miss Jing."
After Xiao Kejing smiled sweetly at Concubine Jing, she stretched out her little hand to hold the tea eggs and ate them bit by bit.
Qingyan saw that the little girl's smile was a little forced, so she didn't say anything more.
The straight boy Xiaosi finished the tea eggs in his hand, and ate two small steamed buns stuffed with pork and green onions. He picked up the small celadon-glazed bowl and was about to drink the remaining milk in one gulp before running away.
Nansan School was at school. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Kejing’s obviously hungry belly.
Even though he was barking, he was still like a kitten beaten by frost, drooping his little head and nibbling the tea eggs in his hand little by little. He couldn't help but scratch his head, turned to look at her doubtfully and asked: "Fourth sister, what are you doing?"
Are you hungry or not?"
"If you don't pay attention to eating, your egg yolk will fall to the bottom with a bang."
When Xiao Kejing heard what he said, she also lowered her eyes to see the tea egg in her hand, and found that it was just like the fourth brother said, she had eaten all the egg whites on the edge, and the round yolk was crumbling.
