The eldest princess is still single today

With the support of Fangcao, Guan Qingyi boarded the chariot with a solemn face.

Next to her, Guan Kezhao also stepped into the chariot. He turned his head to look at Guan Qingyi with a slightly worried expression, and his words could not help but comfort him: "Eldest sister, you don't have to worry too much. We didn't bother you yesterday. Have you ever thought that things might not go smoothly today?"

"I know. Just looking at their faces makes me feel sick all the time."

"Perhaps the elder sister is eager for quick success." Guan Kezhao pondered, "Letting women study and take the imperial examinations from the very beginning can be considered to have shaken the fundamental interests of these courtiers. Besides... Besides, this is not easy to implement. If it is forced Even if we don't ask our daughter to study, we can't control it."

Guan Qingyi nodded: "What you said is true. So we must try to lure them, even if it is just to let them have the idea of ​​'trying hard' is enough. It's just what to use to lure...or not? It’s too much to think about. If marriage is used as bait, it will be completely different from what I want; and in today’s world, parents still put their daughter’s marriage as the most important thing. This is really an unsolvable problem.”

Guan Kezhao thought for a while, then said: "I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not. Eldest sister thinks, if it is ordered by imperial edict, can it be paid off?"

"It's all right to issue imperial orders, but those courtiers have to use the money in the treasury to make a fuss."

"In any case, they must be unwilling in every possible way. In this case, let's take the money from the royal family's private treasury, so that we don't have to look at them." Guan Kezhao said, "Now the only ones in the palace are me and the elder Sister, I’m not a person who likes to be lively. Eldest sister won’t get married again, and I don’t have the idea of ​​drafting a concubine, so I won’t have any marriages in the near future. Apart from daily food and clothing, there shouldn’t be much to spend where the money is."

Guan Qingyi nodded: "That's good. I just thought that there are few women who are educated. If you want to see who can make a big splash, I'm afraid it won't work. And the period of the imperial examination is too long, and you won't see any results in the short term. It’s better to proceed step by step first, first hold an examination for women, and then directly test and seal it. At that time, choose an examiner from among these courtiers, and let them experience it for themselves. In the end, it’s up to you to decide like the imperial examination The top three, Zhang Huangbang will be announced to the public."

Guan Kezhao said: "Elder Sister said these things are naturally good, but I'm afraid that not many people would dare to send their daughters to take this first exam. If it ends up with people who are not very popular, it will not be beautiful."

Guan Qingyi smiled lightly and said: "I thought about it before, so I arranged for Shen Chun and told her to start studying hard. She is smart and learns quickly. I think that although she may not have amazing writing in the end, she will also read it." Not bad."

"Well, Eldest Sister is very thoughtful." Guan Kezhao nodded and said, "Then, in case the ministers say that Eldest Sister is engaging in malpractice for personal gain, it is best not to let Miss Shen come back during this period."

Guan Qingyi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Guan Kezhao with a half-smile, "Are you saying that without any selfish intentions?"

"There are selfish intentions, but they are also out of public intentions. There is no contradiction between them, but I just push the boat along." Guan Kezhao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What do you think, Eldest Sister?"

Guan Qingyi let out a long breath and nodded: "Okay, it's up to you. After I return to Lanyue Hall, I will repair a book, and then send her the book that needs to be used to the Chunyi Building."

Guan Kezhao smiled and said, "Eldest sister is wise!"

"I see."

Shen Chun put down the letter and looked at the piles of books again, feeling a little dumbfounded.

Well, it turned out to be nothing more than 'going home to visit relatives', but now they are forced to 'prepare for the college entrance examination'.

At the same time, Cui Zhu asked enthusiastically, "What's the matter? What did the eldest princess say?"

"The main thing is to let me study in the Chunyi Building now." Shen Chun said helplessly, "The rest involves political affairs, so I can't say much here."

Cui Zhu let out an "oh" and didn't continue to ask questions.

Shen Chunzheng was about to go back to the house to study with the book in his hands, when he suddenly thought that if he stayed in the Chunyi Building for a day, he would not want to see the Chunyi Building open for a day.This is all right, after staying for a long time, it has become a serious problem that cannot be avoided.After thinking about it, she went to put the books in the room first, and then knocked on the door of Shen Niang's room.

Hearing "Come in" from inside, Shen Chun pushed open the door, her mother was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, her complexion was still a bit haggard, she just lost interest when she saw her and said: "It's Chun'er who is here."

"Mother, did you not sleep well last night?"

"You also said that I thought about those things you said yesterday during the day, so I naturally couldn't sleep well." Shen Niang smiled wryly, "God can't understand the things you do. How can I Not worried about you?"

"There is an old saying, 'children and grandchildren have their own blessings', mother don't have to worry about me. What's more, think about it, my daughter, when did I suffer."

Shen Niang couldn't help sighing again, nodded and said: "Okay, okay. You have been stubborn since you were a child, and I don't ask for anything to persuade you. I just hope you won't regret it in the future. "

"We'll talk about it later."

"Then why are you here today to discuss something important with me?"

Shen Chun walked over to sit next to her, and said softly: "Mother, let's renovate the Chunyi Building. We do business here, and the first one has to sit clean and clear. After more than ten years now, the house is From the roof to the stairs are a bit old, the paint is also peeling off, and sometimes it has a bad smell. Anyway, I have money now, let's renovate the building, what do you think?"

Shen Niang smiled bitterly and said: "You can do whatever you want. You are old enough to have an idea. This Chunyi Building will still be yours in the end, and it's not too early to entrust it to you now."

Shen Chun smiled and said: "Thank you, mother. Then I'll let the nursing home run some errands and find a craftsman to paint the inside of our building thoroughly. Give everyone a holiday and have a good rest."

"Chun'er, I don't have anything else to say. Just one thing, you are mother's only darling, so don't let yourself suffer."

"Of course." Shen Chun blinked happily, "Mother, maybe I will still be a character who can be written in history books in the future."
