The mistress of the Hou family worked herself to death, and she did not serve after her rebirth

This day was the first time Pei Jiuniang went to the Imperial College as a female teacher.

Early in the morning, Cui Jijiu was waiting for her at the door and took her around the Imperial College first.

The Imperial Academy was not small. It mainly accepted students from the royal family and the families of ministers. Of course, there were also students from poor families, all of whom were the top scorers in the provincial and academy examinations in various places, as well as those recommended by some ministers.

The Imperial College is divided into introductory classes, junior classes, intermediate classes and advanced classes.

The introductory class is newly established and is mainly for students who have just started their enlightenment period.

Originally, each family would hire a teacher or teach at home, but this was newly established this year.

The junior class usually consists of students who have passed the examination for Tongsheng but not yet the examination for Xiucai.

The ultimate class consists of those who have passed the examination for the scholar degree but not the examination for the juren degree.

The advanced classes are all candidates who are ready to take part in the imperial examination in spring.

Of course, there is also a royal student class, which is filled with royal children. They study without having to take any exams like "tongsheng" or the like. They mainly learn how to govern the country. Among them are princes, crown princes, princesses and daughters.

Originally, Brother Yu could also be arranged in it, but Pei Jiuniang refused.

Because she knew that although this class looked good, the teacher actually didn't dare to be strict at all, and she didn't want her brother Yu to end up being a follower of the princes, and might even be forced to participate in the fight for imperial power in the future.

However, she saw Zhong Rong's son Liu Chen was inside, and he should be the third prince's study companion now.

By the way, she heard that Zhong Rong also worked as a female teacher in the academy, and was said to be teaching the art of playing the zither.

The Imperial Academy taught many things, mainly poetry, calligraphy and policy essays, as well as mathematics, riding and archery, etiquette and so on.

In addition, some girls’ classes will also learn things like the Eight Ya.

She followed Cui Jijiu on a general tour of the Imperial College. Finally, Cui Jijiu took her to the residence where the teachers usually worked and rested, and introduced some teachers to her.

Unexpectedly, at the door, she saw Zhong Rong walking out in a hurry. When Zhong Rong saw her, her face turned pale.

Last time, because of Pei Jiuniang, she had a quarrel with Liu Xiao when she returned home. Until now, the two have not reconciled. Liu's mother even gave Liu Xiao two concubines, which made her so angry that she used her connections to enter the Imperial College. She heard that if she was taught well, she could become a female official. She must let Liu Xiao see that she, Zhong Rong, is the best and is no worse than Pei Jiuniang.

Therefore, she couldn't help herself when she saw Pei Jiuniang.

"How will you be here?"

There was uncontrollable anger in his voice.

Even Cui Jijiu at the side noticed it, but he still took the initiative to introduce Zhong Rong to her, "This is the new Master Pei."

"Pei, Master? You are here at the Imperial College too? Pei Jiuniang, how can you be here?"

"If you can come, why can't I? Could it be that these Imperial Colleges were opened by you, Madam Liu?"

Pei Jiuniang laughed and shot back.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the verbal sparring going on here.

Cui Jijiu looked a little embarrassed. Zhong Rong came here through connections, and her piano skills were just so-so, barely enough to teach the beginner class, but Pei Jiuniang was invited by him personally.

You know, there are people who can play the zither almost everywhere in Kyoto, but it is really hard to find someone who can understand both the foreign language and the local language.

After thinking about it, he immediately made a judgment in his heart, and said to Zhong Rong with a slightly serious face, "Master Zhong, Master Pei is someone I specially invited to teach foreign languages. I have already asked His Majesty to confer her the title of a female official of the sixth rank. I hope you can..."

"What? Her? Fanyu? And she's from the sixth rank? Why?!"

Mrs. Zhong was confused. She was just wondering what Pei Jiuniang was teaching at the Imperial College. She thought it was policy essays, mathematics or the zither, but she never expected it was a foreign language.

She felt amused and bored at the same time.

"Master Jijiu, are you sure? I have never heard that Madam Pei can speak any foreign language. Don't let her say a few random words to fool you. Don't let that mislead the students and make you regret it too late."

As Zhong Rong spoke, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud. Her voice was so loud that many people gathered around.

In particular, Zhong Rong loudly declared, "It is too bold to fool people into getting an official position just by knowing a few words."

All those present were teachers, many of whom chose to be teachers because they had no chance to become officials in the court. When they heard that the other party was only teaching foreign languages, they were able to get a female official position, although it was of the sixth rank. But one should know that even if one won the third place in the imperial examination, he would at most be an eighth-rank Hanlin at the beginning.

Pei Jiuniang was a woman who could speak a few words of foreign language, but she was appointed as a sixth-rank female official. What virtue and ability did she have?

For a moment, everyone was more or less filled with righteous indignation, and surrounded Pei Jiuniang and the chief priest, expressing their indignation.

Zhong Rong stood in the crowd, not forgetting to raise her eyebrows at Pei Jiuniang, as if she was making fun of her.

The chief priest's face turned green. He was young, but many people looked down on him because he was the chief priest. Now they were even criticizing and belittling him.

"How many words do you know in foreign languages? Has Master Zhong heard of it? It seems that Master Zhong has seen it. Since he has seen it, Master Zhong should also know it. Then why don't you say a few words? If Master Zhong knows it, His Majesty will certainly be willing to grant you an official position."

"You?! You…"

Zhong Rong didn't expect Pei Jiuniang to dare to make fun of her. Just as she was about to speak, she was pulled back by someone next to her. Everyone was not stupid, and they knew more or less about the major events that had happened in the court recently. They knew that a joke had been made because they didn't understand the foreign language. They had won the battle, but in the end they got nothing. Everything that the border soldiers had fought hard for was easily wiped out. It was said that the third prince of the foreign country even mocked the imperial court after he returned.

Besides, Pei Jiuniang said that it was His Majesty who conferred the title personally.

No matter how brave they are, they dare not question Your Majesty's decision.

"Why, Master Zhong doesn't know how to do it? If you don't know how to do it, then why are you jealous? I haven't heard that His Majesty is only looking for one person. If anyone knows how to do it, just go to His Majesty and recommend yourself. Naturally, you will also be given an official position."

Pei Jiuniang's words left everyone speechless. Cui Jijiu also breathed a sigh of relief and was about to evacuate everyone, "Okay, stop crowding around and go back to teaching."

"and many more."

Zhong Rong watched Pei Jiuniang resolve the situation easily, but she refused to do it.

"Master Zhong, what else do you want to do?"

Cui Jijiu felt helpless.

"I don't believe she knows any foreign language, unless she can convince us all. Besides, we all know that she made a fool of herself because she didn't know the foreign language. If she pretends to know the foreign language and misleads the students, it will be a big deal."

"Yes, we have to let Master Pei try out the class in public. We have to check on the students, otherwise they may not learn the foreign language but learn the bird language..."

"this…"

Cui Jijiu was a little embarrassed, after all, other masters came directly...

"can."

Pei Jiuniang agreed directly.

Cui Jijiu's face lit up with joy and he immediately bowed to Pei Jiuniang.
