Bai Ruozhu blinked to make sure he saw it correctly, and then quickly looked at the team next to him. Next to Xuanlang Academy was Nanyang Academy, and there were two women there immediately.

Wu Ying also noticed this problem at this time, gently tugged on Bai Ruozhu's sleeve, and asked: "Why are there women in their team? Are they female students?"

Bai Ruozhu looked at it again and saw that there were several teams with a few women. Only the teams from Beiyu Academy, Tianfu Academy, and Baoqing Academy had no women. Even the Chang'an Academy had two women standing there. , when there was a conflict the day before, we didn’t even encounter it.

"Why haven't I heard of female students participating? Has the competition system changed?" Bai Ruozhu was also confused. Could it be that Danliang Kingdom is particularly developed nowadays and women can study together with men?

Perhaps the conversation between the two was overheard by someone nearby. A petite Jiangnan woman covered her mouth and chuckled, asking: "Don't you northern women study?"

This is not a very polite question to ask. Why do northern women not study? Jiangnan is culturally developed, but we can't look down on people like this, right? Not to mention the straight-tempered Wu Ying, even Bai Ruozhu was very unhappy after hearing this.

"Look what this sister said, most rural girls in our north need to read and write. How can they not study?" Bai Ruozhu secretly pulled Wu Ying and signaled her not to conflict with others here.

"Then what's wrong with you, generals and little monsters? Now that the Holy One approves of women studying, what's wrong with women also participating in the competition? Don't you have women in your team?" The woman who spoke also laughed, with a pear dimple on one side of her face, which was obvious. It was extremely sweet, but those words were getting more and more harsh.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at the stage and saw that Dean Wen and the others looked very ugly. In the remote northwest of Beiyu City, there were not as many academic women as there were in the south. Dean Wen and the others didn't even know that women could do this. Participate.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiuquan, the dean of Chang'an Academy on the stage, laughed after taking one look at it. He also patted Wen Xize on the shoulder and said, "Dean Wen, you are lagging behind. You don't even have a capable female student." None, don’t tell me that your Beiyu Academy doesn’t have a girls’ school yet?”

Dean Wen looked very embarrassed. They were really behind the times in this regard. They didn’t use female students in last year’s competition, but it was only at the palace banquet at the beginning of the year that the emperor said: “Women can study in the academy even if they don’t need to take the exam. Let us Danliang Kingdom also have more female bachelors, so as not to lose to Chengshui Kingdom."

After that, girls' schools were set up in many places, even in Beiyu City. However, the northwest was more closed-off, and Beiyu Academy had not set up a special school for girls. There are female members in the competition, obviously for the sake of showing the saints. Although the competition system does not require women to be present, they can still excel because of it. As for teams without female members, they will naturally be classified as backward areas.

Dean Wen's face turned red and white. He secretly cursed Zhang Xiuquan, an old man, for why he always liked to add insult to injury, but he couldn't answer.

The gentlemen at Taipei Sumigong Academy all blushed. Mr. Zhang coughed when he was angry because he had been injured before. Suddenly, his eyes flashed brightly. How could he forget those two people?

"Dean Zhang, please stop worrying so much. Who said we don't have any female players? Didn't you see them when you came to make trouble yesterday? It was just that we encountered gangsters assassinating us on the road. They were frightened and did not play today." Mr. Zhang said loudly.

Dean Wen looked at Mr. Zhang with wide eyes. This kind of thing cannot be a battle of wills, but he quickly felt that it was feasible. Even if Bai Ruozhu couldn't help in the competition, Wu Ying could hold up the scene.

Thinking of this, Dean Wen calmed down and said with a smile: "Yes, Dean Zhang is worrying too much."

Zhang Xiuquan glared, "Isn't that Mrs. Jiang you're talking about? Why do you have the nerve to use anyone to make up for it?" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a murderous gaze swept across him, and he couldn't help but shudder. , and saw Jiang Yichun looking at him fiercely.

He also heard something about Jiang Yichun. He heard that he used to be in the General Affairs Department and had killed countless people. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiuquan cursed inwardly that he shouldn't mess with such an evil god.

"What's wrong with Mrs. Jiang? In our northwest development, it is stipulated that all women under the age of twenty can enroll in school. Doesn't that apply to your Chang'an Academy?" Wen Xi still had a smile on his face.

The Imperial Palace Banquet at the beginning of the Holy Year commends women's schools, but there are no specific regulations on which women can enter women's schools, so there are different regulations in different places.

Zhang Xiuquan was a little unconvinced and muttered: "A woman is married. If she doesn't stay at home to care for her husband and raise children, why should she go to the academy to hang out?"

Jiang Yichun, who spoke this time, stared at Zhang Xiuquan and said coldly: "What's wrong with a woman having more knowledge? It's also good for the education of his children. It seems that Dean Zhang didn't really understand the emperor's intention."

You, the majestic dean of Chang'an Academy, can't understand the holy will. Can you still hold your position? Zhang Xiuquan was angry and scared, and finally sat back down with a cold snort.

The stage was not far from the stage. The deans above were quarreling with each other, and the students below could hear it clearly. In the Xuanlang Academy representative team, there was also a student who looked elegant and said in a nonchalant manner: "Beijing Sumima Academy has no one, so we just want to find two people to support us, right? We have heard that the women from the northwest are tough, but they are not learned and have no skills. They cannot compare with the talents of our Jiangnan women."

Guo Xing was very angry after hearing this. He glared at the man and said, "That's nonsense. The queen is also a northern woman, and so is the queen mother. Why do you look down on northern women so much?"

"Hey, don't disturb the audience. What I just talked about was a woman from the northwest." The man shouted.

Bai Zepei said in a calm voice: "Okay, there is no need to argue with words, just see the real results during the competition."

"Okay, just don't go back crying then." The man laughed after saying that.

Everyone in Beishui Academy was very angry and wanted to immediately pull the other person out and give him a good beating. But they all calmed down soon, secretly thinking that they would persuade Bai Ruozhu and Wu Ying to participate in the competition later.

Bai Ruozhu was sitting in the front row and had excellent hearing. Naturally, she heard clearly the conversation between the gentleman on the stage and the team in the audience. Although she did not go to a girls' school in time travel, she was still a little angry in her heart and secretly decided that she must Give those guys looking through cracks in the door a good slap in the face.

Thinking of this, she felt that there was nothing interesting about the opening ceremony. She pulled Wu Ying and quietly left the VIP table. As a result, the Jiangnan woman who made the sour words before snorted and whispered to the female family members next to her: "Those two northern barbarians ran away. I'm afraid they felt so embarrassed that they couldn't stay any longer."

Several women nearby covered their mouths and laughed. Only one woman put down a straight face and said, "Whether it's Jiangnan or Beiland, aren't they all from Danliang? Is it necessary to make such a clear distinction?"
