Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"Go, find two people to carry this man to the hospital."

Gu Yan didn't know when he came over, so he whispered to Shaoqing.

"Yes."

Shaoqing went to the back kitchen of Sui Sui Building to find a board, and then called two men working in Sui Sui Building to carry the man away.

Cheng Wan sat on the chair that He Chunlai brought out for her, holding a long knife in both hands, with a smile on her face, unable to bear the sternness just now.

"You guys continue."

The man carrying the gong and several people in the crowd looked at each other cryptically, coughed, and said solemnly: "Miss Cheng, you should understand that it is fundamentally unfeasible for a woman to be an official! What's more, you are still so young. ! I don’t know what means you used to get Prince Rui to agree to your becoming an official, but out of good intentions, I advise you to just give up being an official and go back to being a pretty young lady!"

"I don't need this kindness, so I won't say thank you to you."

The man holding the gong choked, and an angry look appeared on his face, "Miss Cheng! Being an official is not child's play! How can you, a woman, be a good official?"

"There are quite a few of you men who have had their homes confiscated and beheaded when they were officials, right? Besides, I haven't even started working yet. How do you know I can't be an official?"

"You! You are a woman! How can a woman compare with a man?"

"Why can't women compete with men? You look down on women so much, why don't you come out of your father's belly?"

"You are simply arrogant! Unreasonable! How can I choose whose stomach to come out of?!"

"Of course you can't choose, because you men can't have children at all! You were conceived from a woman's belly, but you look down on women. You are unreasonable and you are not a scholar!"

The man holding the gong turned red with anger and shouted: "I don't look down on women!"

"Then why do you say women can't compete with men?"

"I...I didn't mean that! I just said that women can't compete with men when it comes to being an official!"

"Have you seen it? Have you heard of it? How do you know that women cannot compete with men when it comes to being an official?"

"How can a woman enter the officialdom and become an official without reading many books from sages and without taking the imperial examination, let alone compete with men?"

The smile on Cheng Wan's lips faded, "Is it because women don't want to read many sage books or take the imperial examination? It's you men who don't let women read too many sage books and don't allow women to take the imperial examination!"

"When did we men stop letting women read too many sage books and not allow women to take part in the imperial examinations? You woman, don't slander us with empty words!"

"Okay!" Cheng Wan smiled brightly, "Since there is no such rule, when the imperial examination resumes, many women will appear in the examination room and then enter the officialdom!"

The face of the man carrying the gong changed drastically, and the other men also looked ugly.

A man who was obviously a scholar walked out of the crowd and seemed very polite, "Miss Cheng, Brother Zou is just trying to reason with you. You really don't have to be so sophistical. It has always been a rule and practice for women not to enter officialdom. , no one has ever broken it.”

Cheng Wan looked at the man and laughed out loud, "If it doesn't make sense, just say it doesn't make sense. Why bother to use forceful words and accuse me of being sophistical? Let me ask you, has anyone stipulated that this convention and rule cannot be broken?"

"This..." The man was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment. He opened and closed his mouth, and finally said: "Miss Cheng, it is really inappropriate for you to enter officialdom as a woman."

"What's wrong?"

"Miss Cheng, the officialdom is full of men. If you, a woman, are with a foreign man every day, your reputation will be greatly hindered! You will be pointed out and poked in the spine by others!" This is another one. The man who came out of the crowd said something, and you could tell at a glance that he was also a scholar.

"I don't care." Cheng Wan said nonchalantly.

Just say it, and no one would be stupid enough to say it in front of her. As long as she doesn't hear it, it means nothing.

And when she achieves results, the gossip behind her will naturally disappear.

"What about your sisters? You will ruin their reputations by doing this!"

Cheng Daniu said with a straight face, "They don't care either."

"This person is really strange. Who has a female official in her family? It's too late to flatter her. Who would say nasty things to her family? Isn't this a pitfall in the head?"

"That's right, you're already an official, who cares about that? It's a big deal."

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song whispered something that everyone could hear, which made Cheng Wan extremely happy.

Gu Yan looked at Cheng Wan's crooked eyebrows and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

At this time, a man in brocade clothes who looked to be about thirty or forty years old walked out of the crowd.

He first bowed his hand to Cheng Wan, and then sighed, "Miss Cheng, since you want to be an official, you must have a heart to love the people, which is good. But you entered the officialdom without having any fame, this is not good for you. It’s really unfair to other scholars who are studying hard in poverty, and it will be detrimental to stability in the long run.”

"That's right! Who didn't study hard in the cold window, get the honors and then enter the officialdom? Why are you special? You entered the officialdom and became an official without the honors. It's not fair!"

"unfair!"

"unfair!"

"..."

The peaceful situation just now became chaotic again, especially because there were many more people gathered here than before, so the situation was a little out of control.

Cheng Daniu, Cheng Erniu, Li Sanzhu and others hurried forward, guarding Cheng Wan behind them.

Gu Yan also walked this way, keeping an eye on the movements around Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan stood up, pulled Cheng Daniu and Cheng Erniu away from each other standing in front of her, then walked up to the man carrying the gong, snatched his gong, and stood on the chair, "Clang, clang, clang... ."

The gong sounded loud and harsh, and the chaotic and noisy crowd gradually became quiet.

"Unfair?" Cheng Wan looked serious and asked eloquently: "Did I let you fail the Jinshi exam and become an official? Did I rob you of the opportunity to become an official? It's because of me that you can't enter the officialdom Have you entered the officialdom? I can enter the officialdom because I have made great achievements that can fill more people's stomachs. Have you made any great achievements that are beneficial to the people?"

"I also have a head on my neck. You use various reasons to oppose my becoming an official. Is this fair to me? I asked for this official position and Prince Rui agreed to it, but you only dare to trouble me. Is this fair to me? Is it fair to me that I have been appointed an official based on my own merits, and I still have to spend so much time here to prove to you that I can be this official?"

"Qiang!" Cheng Wan struck the gong and looked down at the crowd, her eyes deep but gleaming with determination and fearlessness.

"Everyone, I, Cheng Wan, will be the official official!"
