Chapter 136 The turmoil at the beginning of school
"All students must walk up the mountain to enter the academy, and maids and old women are not allowed to stay in the academy."
"All students must walk up the mountain to enter the academy, and maids and old women are not allowed to stay in the academy."
"All students must walk up the mountain to enter the academy, and maids and old women are not allowed to stay in the academy."
……
On the first day of school at the Future Women's College, the students who came to register heard mechanical female voices coming from all directions as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The commoner students were just curious. They looked around but couldn't find the source of the sound. However, they followed the instructions and climbed up the stairs one step at a time.
But he was not so friendly to the young ladies from officials and landlords' families who were used to being served since childhood.
Some of the timid ones just stood at the foot of the mountain and asked the maids who accompanied them to go home and report the news.
Some of the favored ones in the family, who had some status among their elders, started to yell...
"If we don't allow maids and old women to enter the academy, don't we have to make the beds and fold the quilts ourselves? How can I do such work?" "That's outrageous. Let your headmaster come over."
The two young ladies of the Shi family in the governor's mansion had a bad impression of the "Future Women's College" opened by Chu Ci because their mother was humiliated.
When she heard that the academy didn't allow maids, she got back into the carriage. "What kind of crappy school is this? We sisters won't go there. Cuiyun, tell the driver to go back!"
Cuiyun hesitated: "Miss, the master will be angry."
The teacher's daughter was holding her breath in her throat and almost passed out.
He took a deep breath and calmed down for a long time. Then he gave up and told the maid Cuiyun: "Go and tell father the news here."
Even though Nanny Yuan had left the Yuan family, it had become her instinct to protect the Yuan family. After receiving the news, she immediately found Chu Ci.
"Young Madam, sometimes rules are dead, but people are alive. Can the rules for officials' wives be relaxed a little?" The more Nanny Yuan spoke, the colder Chu Ci's face became, and the lower her voice became, but even so, she still mustered up the courage to finish her words.
Chu Ci looked at the old man in his sixties in front of him.
Chu Ci said after calming down for a while: "Mr. Yuan, if it is other matters, I can be flexible. But this one thing, as long as the Future Women's College exists, it will not change and cannot be changed."
After arriving in Lianzhou, Nanny Yuan was highly respected, but she did not expect to be rejected the first time she made a request.
I couldn't help feeling a little resentful.
The curse words blurted out: "Young Madam, if you insist on doing this, the 'Future Women's College' will only become a college for the poor."
Chu Ci stared at Nanny Yuan for a long time, then turned to Linglong and said, "Linglong, can you pass on a message for Sister Chu?"
"Sister Chu, you say." Ever since seeing the rice yield exceeding 300 kilograms per mu in the college, Linglong has become Chu Ci's little follower. At this moment, Linglong has no choice but to do so.
"Go tell the people waiting at the foot of the mountain that if they cannot accept the rules of the 'Women's College', they can choose to leave. But they will never be admitted."
Linglong smiled slightly when she heard this and agreed: "Sister Chu, just wait and see!"
After saying this, he looked at Nanny Yuan meaningfully before turning and leaving.
Nanny Yuan was not to be outdone. As soon as Linglong left, she couldn't wait to say, "Young Madam, those who are not of our race must have different hearts. How could you hand over such an important matter to that Gu girl?"
When Chu Ci heard this, he knew that some things couldn't be explained to Nanny Yuan.
So Chu Ci's eyes sharpened, and he simply said: "At least she won't disobey my orders now."
"I..." Nanny Yuan was stared at by Chu Ci's cold eyes and took two steps back unconsciously. She was a little flustered and thought that she might have said something wrong, so she apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Seeing this situation, Chu Ci couldn't help feeling helpless.
She knew that Nanny Yuan came here not only for the sake of her sisters, but also out of good intentions.
But when it comes to "women's colleges", she also has her own principles and considerations.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said, "Madam Yuan, can you tell me where you learned your midwifery skills?"
At this moment, Nanny Yuan was very nervous.
But Chu Ci had to answer the question, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to tell the truth: "It's my mother-in-law. She was a famous midwife in our hometown within a radius of ten miles."
"Then why did you enter the Yuan family?" At this moment, Chu Ci felt quite emotional. She didn't expect that even God was helping her.
If Nanny Yuan was a servant of the Yuan family, she would not be able to say these words, but now...
Perhaps she also wanted to take this opportunity to make Nanny Yuan understand her intentions and respect her decision.
Nanny Yuan had no idea what Chu Ci was thinking.
But when hearing Chu Ci's question, pain flashed across Yuan Ma's eyes. "Back then, my hometown suffered a severe drought and was on the verge of death. I had no choice but to sell myself to buy a way out for my family."
Seeing this, Chu Ci realized that he had touched upon Nanny Yuan's sorrow. He paused for a moment, but did not give up.
"So, people really can't predict what kind of changes they will encounter in their lives."
"But I hope that every girl can rely on her own strength to overcome the difficulties when facing desperate situations. Madam Yuan, can you understand my feelings?" Chu Ci said as he walked in front of Madam Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Nanny Yuan raised her head abruptly: "Young Madam, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought... I thought..."
"They thought I was deliberately making things difficult for you because of the incident with the governor's wife." It's better to talk about something than to keep it in your heart. So Chu Ci was not angry, and even took over the conversation with a smile.
Without waiting for Nanny Yuan to explain, she continued, "Don't worry, I'm not such a narrow-minded person. So, Mr. Yuan, can you go and greet your students now?"
"Yes, I'll go right away." After learning about Chu Ci's educational philosophy, Nanny Yuan also felt a surge of pride in her heart.
And Chu Ci needs to nail this pride firmly in her body: "No, no, no. You are now the gentleman of the 'Future Women's College', Mr. Yuan."
Here, Chu Ci gets along well with Nanny Yuan.
The atmosphere at the foot of the mountain is completely opposite.
After Linglong, who was wearing Miao clothing, relayed Chu Ci's words, she cleanly and neatly dealt with several people who spoke rudely, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
For example, the sisters from the Shi family who have a guard team will immediately call the guards to come forward and protect them.
The Shi sisters reacted even faster. The eldest daughter rolled her eyes at this and shouted, "Quick, go and inform father that there is a Miao spy at the Women's College."
As the Southern Border Gu King, she has her own pride. Miss Shi's shout completely angered Linglong.
