Chapter 222 Li Ying (2)
Magistrate Cui couldn't laugh or cry, and opened his mouth to call the door: "Cousin, open the door."
After waiting for a moment, the door opened.
Li Ying's face showed no trace of tiredness, and was even a little strangely excited. Her eyes were shining: "Cousin, I wrote a plan. Come and take a look at it for me. It's best. I will polish it and present it to the princess tomorrow."
Magistrate Cui: "..."
"Mother!" Erlang shouted vaguely, waving his little arms vigorously: "Mother, hug me!"
Dalang also moved closer to his mother.
Li Ying pursed her lips and smiled, hugged her younger son, hugged her eldest son, and urged: "Cousin, why are you still dawdling, hurry up."
County Magistrate Cui laughed dumbly, She walked to the desk, picked up the plan that Li Ying had worked hard to write for a long time, and read it carefully.
Li Ying has been extremely intelligent since she was a child and has read poetry and books. However, the Li family keeps a low profile and never allows unmarried girls to show their faces outside. Therefore, there is no reputation as a talented woman. Magistrate Cui is Li Ying's cousin. They grew up together, so they naturally know this.
After the two got married, Magistrate Cui became busy with official duties, and Li Ying occasionally helped her husband write official documents. With Li Ying's ability, there is no problem in writing such a plan. The only thing that needs to be changed...
"Cousin, aren't these sentences inappropriate?" Magistrate Cui pointed to the last paragraph and suggested euphemistically: "If you want to run a good girls' school, this I have good intentions, but is it too much to surpass the boys’ academy?”
“If you don’t want to talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the size and the number of students enrolled. There is a huge gap in the number of students.”
“There are more than 40 boys, and only five girls. They may not be able to study for more than a few years. Years later, they all went home to plant mulberry, raise silkworms and weave cloth.”
It’s not that Magistrate Cui deliberately stabbed his wife in the heart, he was also worried about it!
Li Ying sighed softly: "My cousin is right. This is the biggest problem faced by female schools. However, no matter how difficult the thing is, we have to do it step by step."
"The princess trusts me so much. I have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility and I will do my best to live up to the princess. "
Magistrate Cui laughed again: "I have never realized that you are so strong before!"
Li Ying smiled slightly: "I have never been given such an opportunity before. . ”
That’s true.
Born into a wealthy family, with no worries about food and clothing, and studying since childhood, this is a life that ordinary girls cannot live. But it also means a lot of rules and restrictions.
Cui County Magistrate whispered pitifully: "My cousin is very smart and talented. If he were a man, he might be better than me if he took part in the imperial examination."
Li Ying smiled and said: " What are you talking about? God made me a daughter, and I have never felt sorry for myself. I just feel a little regretful that I stay at home all day long to take care of my husband and children, and I can't go out for a walk this year. I am very happy to be admitted to a women's school. It is an unexpected joy to get the princess's approval."
"I am full of energy now, and I can't wait to achieve something immediately. , let the princess look at her with admiration. "
Magistrate Cui said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we work together as a couple, and the princess will look at you with admiration."
Li Ying frowned and smiled.
Li Shi, Li Ying.
One word difference, but for her, it is a completely different feeling.
It was as if a whole new world had opened up in an instant.
In that world, there were princesses, Chen Sheren, Miss Sun who worked as a military doctor in the military camp, and Miss Kong who taught the soldiers how to read. Now, there is another one of her. Not the girl from the Li family, not Cui's wife, not the biological mother of the elder son Erlang.
It’s her Li Ying.
This feeling is novel and wonderful.
“Mom!” Erlang was unwilling to be ignored and tried his best to shake his mother’s arm; “Mom, look at me.”
Li Ying came back to her senses and smiled at her son: “Let’s go, mother. I’ll take you to dinner.”
...
"The princess seems to be particularly kind to Li Ying."
In the study on the other side, Chen Sheren, who had had dinner, had nothing to do and came to talk to the princess. He opened his mouth and mentioned Li Ying, wife of County Magistrate Cui.
Jiang Shaohua smiled and hummed: "It's rare for men to read, and even fewer women to read and write. It's rare that County Magistrate Cui is so broad-minded and open-minded that he took the initiative to let his wife be a female student. .I want it Lifting and lifting. "
"Sun Zelan is working as a military doctor in the guard camp, Kong Qingwan is working as a teacher in the military camp, and you are a nurse beside me. Now, there is another female student, Li Ying." br>
"Step by step, implement it slowly. I think in the future, more and more families in Nanyang County will let their daughters read and write."
Chen Jinyu nodded repeatedly and smiled happily: "What the princess said is . Look at that big girl from Lu, she is so ambitious at such a young age. Xiang Yuanda."
Jiang Shaohua also laughed: "If the Lu family is really willing to let the girl study in a girls' school, she will be allowed to work in the palace when she is fourteen or fifteen years old."
< br>The princess is true to her word, and of course her words will count.
No words for a night.
Early the next morning, Li Ying came with an unchanged plan.
Chen Jinyu welcomed Li Ying into the study with a smile and presented the plan to the princess. Jiang Shaohua read it carefully, and when he saw the last paragraph, he couldn't help but laugh: "It's good to have this spirit. However, this goal is set high and cannot be achieved in three to five years."
Li Ying didn't sleep well last night. There were some faint green shadows under her eyes, but she was surprisingly energetic: "What the princess said is, Concubine..."
"You are a female student and the first dean," Jiang Shaohua suddenly interrupted Li Ying with a smile: "In front of this princess, you can call yourself a minister."
Li Ying was shocked and blurted out: "I have no official position, how dare you call yourself this."
Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly: "There are no female officials in the imperial court. Nanyang County has set a precedent. There are Chen Sheren and Miss Sun as a military doctor. It doesn't matter if there is one more Dean Li."
Li Ying trembled all over. , the beautiful face quickly blushed, and the voice also A little trembling: "I...I thank the princess for your great kindness."
Jiang Shaohua said with a smile: "There is no approval from the imperial court, and there is no formal appointment from the Ministry of Personnel. However, in Nanyang County, this The princess has the final say. From now on, you will be in charge of Ye County Girls’ School. Receive a salary every month. When County Magistrate Cui goes to the palace next year, you go with him."
Li Ying suppressed the surge in her heart and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty's words. Remembered it.”
Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly. , after reading the plan, he said to Li Ying: "Except for the last paragraph, the rest is practical and feasible. This is the first female school in Nanyang County. No one knows what to do. We are feeling our way through it. The river has no depth. ”
"However, things are done, not imagined. If you have the heart, just do it slowly. It will be done one day."
"Although the journey is long, we will get there soon."< br>
