On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Chapter 27 It doesn’t matter if you embarrass me, I will complain

Before Xu Shihuan's injury on his foot could be healed, he was urged to register at a women's school. According to regulations, students who come to study at a women's school are not allowed to ride in sedan chairs.

Although she went out early in the morning, she couldn't walk fast because of her injured feet. If she had been a moment later, she would have been late. When I entered the school, there were already many people standing in the room.

Duan Qinghe, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, Duan Qinglian, the second daughter, Deng Wanyu, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, Xiao Yao, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Punishments, Gao Zimo, the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, plus Xu Shihuan, a total of six, this is the total number of students in the women's school.

As for the other two women who look older, they are probably the masters of this female school.

"Xu Shihuan, stop!"

As soon as she entered the room, a woman with high cheekbones and squinting eyes, dressed as a wife, stopped her, her tone full of meanness.

Xu Shihuan didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly stopped and bowed politely.

"You're late on the first day of school. You should be punished. Go! Stand here and copy the instructions for women ten times each. You can only come in after you finish copying."

After saying that, the mean woman turned around and entered the room, saying loudly:

"My surname is Kong, you can call me Kong Fuzi. I don't care what your status is, you must abide by the rules here when you enter this girls' school. Today is the first day of school, and I will tell you what this girl should abide by. rules."

Xu Shihuan received this punishment inexplicably. She originally thought of copying the female commandments ten times to fool her in advance. But after hearing what Confucius just said, she didn't want to copy it.

You know, at the beginning of the founding of the Wanhua Kingdom, women did not have the opportunity to study in schools, let alone participate in the imperial examination. If she were a girl from an ordinary family, it would be good if she could read. If she were a woman from an official family, she would only learn the discipline of women admonishing women.

Later, as the border battles continued, scholars in Wanhua Kingdom put down their pens and went to the battlefield to fight. Throughout the country, after the imperial examination, few useful talents could be screened out.

At that time, Shen had just given birth to the prince, but she took the initiative to relieve the emperor's worries and established a women's school so that women could study the Four Books and Five Classics and take the imperial examination like men.

In just a few years, the emperor discovered that this woman performed well in the imperial examinations, and many important positions in the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Industry were held by women.

It's a pity that Wanhua Kingdom is becoming stronger and stronger, and there are fewer wars with other countries. As men gradually returned to the academy from the battlefield, women's status in the court became lower and lower.

A few years later, the girls who used to go to school got married and had children one after another, and were trapped in the back houses, never to be the same again.

Women's studies exist in name only.

Today, those who remain in women's schools are those who have not married due to various reasons. They had no intention of pursuing an official career, and they only stayed here to avoid the rumors.

But Confucius should not let her copy the precepts and training of women. You must know that the current Queen Mother Shen once said that women who enter women's schools learn how to govern the world and solve the problems of the people in the world.

Never be like ordinary women who are trapped by the admonitions of women.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xu Shihuan quietly moved to the door and slipped away without looking back. What a joke, she came to the women's school to gain a future for herself and the Shen family, so how could she waste her time on this?

"The Queen Mother, Xu Shihuan, the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, would like to see you."

In the Shoukang Palace, Queen Mother Shen wore exquisite makeup and her black hair was combed meticulously. There was no hint that she was already in her sixties.

She was slightly surprised when she heard that Xu Shihuan asked for a meeting. Today is the day for girls to enter the school. If she is not studying there, what is she doing here?

"Pass it on."

When Xu Shihuan was little, the Queen Mother hugged her often. When the late emperor was still alive, he and General Guan not only had a relationship between emperor and minister, but also were good friends who talked about everything.

Every time she entered the palace, General Guan's daughter Guan Shanyue would come to Shen's side with Xu Shihuan in her arms. Sometimes she would meet the eldest princess Li Jiayi coming with Hesong in her arms. It was really lively.

It's a pity that not long after, everything turned out to be different.

"Empress Dowager, Shihuan is here to see you!"

There was no one else in Shoukang Palace, and Xu Shihuan didn't pretend to be dignified or polite. She kowtowed to Mrs. Shen, and then looked at the Queen Mother and giggled.

The Queen Mother winked, and the maid next to her immediately understood the meaning, helped Xu Shihuan from the ground to a chair, and cleared out all the servants in Shoukang Palace.

"Tell me, you haven't thought of visiting me since you've been back to the city for so long. Why do you think of me, an old woman, today?"

Hearing this, Xu Shihuan felt guilty for a moment. You must know that before she was eight years old, she often caused trouble in Shoukang Palace. Every time she made a mistake, the Queen Mother took care of it for her.

But when he thought that she was here to complain today, Xu Shihuan said shamelessly:

"Empress Dowager, you don't know that on the day I returned to Yong'an City, I thought riding in a carriage was too boring, so I changed clothes with my maid and rode back. My father found out and punished me not to go out for a month. Wait until I can When I went out, it was almost the golden autumn banquet, and I was busy practicing dance again. When I was dancing that day, someone was jealous of me and sprinkled broken porcelain pieces at my feet. Look at my injured feet. I haven’t even been injured yet. Okay, I went to the girls' school today and was deliberately embarrassed by Confucius. If this continues, I'm afraid Shihuan won't be able to come to see you."

As she spoke, she took off her shoes and socks, revealing her scabbed feet. At first glance, it is really shocking.

Mrs. Shen had known for a long time that Xu Shihuan had hurt his foot while dancing, but she didn't expect it to be so severe. Hearing her talk about being embarrassed by her master today when she went to the women's school, Shen knew that Xu Shihuan was here to complain to her.

"How old are you? You are still taking off your shoes here. You are so shameless! Tell me, why did Confucius make things difficult for you?"

Hearing this, Xu Shihuan straightened his back and said seriously:

"Then Confucius said that on the first day of going to the girls' school, he would give us a lecture on the rules that girls should abide by, and he also asked me to copy the instructions for girls."

As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Mother Shen's expression changed and she said coldly:

"Why did she punish you for copying the precepts for women?"

Xu Shihuan immediately knelt down and said:

"Because of my foot injury, I went to the girls' school a little late today, but I didn't miss the entrance time. When Confucius saw that I was the last to go, he..."

Before she could finish speaking, the Queen Mother interrupted Xu Shihuan.

"Why are you still kneeling? Get up quickly and accompany the Ai family to the women's school. I want to see what has become of the women's school in Wanhua Kingdom without me keeping an eye on it in the past few years?"

The Queen Mother Shen never got angry easily. But if she gets angry, a group of people may lose their heads.

The girls' school in Wanhua Kingdom is going to change today.
