In Jinling Women's Academy, in addition to the six arts such as the Four Books and Five Classics, tea ceremony, female red, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and shooting, which must be learned by the boudoir ladies, stereotyped essays and policy theory are also set up.In order to afford the tuition fees, many gentlemen were invited from Jinling Academy, White Deer Academy and other places. On the first day of class, the gentleman said: "Everyone is well-educated, if you find that you write stereotyped essays and political theories, your level is still higher than your husband's." , don’t say it out loud, you have to take your husband’s face into consideration.”

There was a burst of laughter below.

Liang Guanjing and Su Mingyue listened outside the classroom for a while, and Wang Wanyan said from the side: "I really advise you to take a few classes to cheer up these girls. If women can take the science exam in the future, these people will be Your protégé."

"Women's scientific examination?" Liang Guanjing was thoughtful.

Su Mingyue said: "You really should go to a few classes. Women in Tang Dynasty could be officials. Among them, there are future pillars of talent."

As expected, Liang Guanjing's heart was moved. She looked inward at the young and energetic faces, and couldn't help but think of her childhood, "It still doesn't work. I can only lead soldiers, not be a teacher."

Su Mingyue said: "You can talk about the art of war with them, you have actually led troops to fight in battle, what you are talking about is not just talking about war on paper."

Liang Guanjing shook his head: "Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, they will never go out to lead troops to fight. What's the point of talking about the art of war?"

Su Mingyue said: "There is always something else to talk about. In the past, I wanted to hide you, and I didn't want others to see or know you, but now I don't think so. I hope everyone can know you. Liang Guanjing, everyone I can all know you and respect you, change myself because of you, and even benefit my whole life."

Wang Wanyan said: "I agree with her on this point."

So, what content?

Liang Guanjing felt that there was nothing to talk about, and she didn't know what to talk about. The teacher would talk about everything else that should be taught. Naturally, she didn't need to teach anything that they didn't need. Even for entertainment, she couldn't talk about it.

Su Mingyue offered her a plan, "Why don't you tell about those famous women in history and comment on their merits and demerits."

So it was decided, Liang Guanjing went to the South Study Room to read books first, spring and autumn came, she read the books for a year, but she still didn't take a class, she didn't want to, and felt that even if she read so many women's lives, she didn't know what to do. What to say.

Su Mingyue didn't want to embarrass her, "Sometimes I lie there and think about it, how will future generations evaluate Liang Hou's merits and demerits? Will they know about Cheng Zong's wife, Liang Guanjing, mother of Emperor Tianshun?"

Wang Wanyan came to sow discord again, "She's not dead yet, so what's the merit?"

Su Mingyue jumped up and wanted to strangle her to death.

It just so happened that the husband and mother of the policy theory class were seriously ill, and they asked for leave to go back to Jiangling to visit, and there was no one to come to class for the time being. Said: "You go to a class and talk about whatever you want."

Liang Guanjing was kicked out of the shelves. She was going to talk about "the way of being a king and the way of being a wife".

Liang Guanjing said, but I have already prepared to say this, and I haven't thought of the issue of a gentleman solidifying poverty.

Su Mingyue said: "Just talk about it casually. You don't tell people who you are. If you don't speak well, no one will know."

Liang Guanjing bit her head and went, she didn't know what to wear, she couldn't dress like a concubine, nor could she dress like a court lady, Wang Wanyan laughed so hard that she didn't see her like this in battle.

In the end, at Su Mingyue's suggestion, she went wearing the most comfortable and comfortable clothes. She was dressed in a neat black robe with narrow sleeves and a cross-neck collar. The outside was covered with bean paste red palace gauze, and her waist was sealed with crimson embroidered gold silk. A small square Hetian jade plaque is hung on the skirt, but the hair is not a messy bunch, but a simple bun, with a piece of broken gold and flowing jade.

Before going out, Liang Guanjing pulled out Bu Yao and changed the hairpin, thinking that if he wobbled his head when he spoke, Bu Yao might be a burden.

Before the students came to the classroom, she wrote a big "Jun" character and asked Su Mingyue to help stick it on the screen next to the table. The master in charge outside shook the class bell, and Su Mingyue retreated to the door Outside, the students came one after another from other classrooms on the opposite building.

Jinling Women's College offers a lot of subjects. However, except for the Four Books and Five Classics, not all subjects are compulsory. You can choose what you want to learn. At the end of the year, everyone will hold a garden party to compare the results.

There are also quite a lot of female students who come to give lectures, and the huge classroom is full of people. If the latecomers don’t have a seat, they can either squeeze a table with their classmates, or if they are not popular and refuse to sit at the back, they can only turn around. Leave and go to another class in another classroom across the yard.

After the teachers and students saluted each other, Liang Guanjing sat in the chair and saw the students sitting neatly on their seats. Because they had never seen this female gentleman today, they were a little curious for a while.

"My surname is Dong. Today, Mr. Yang has something to do at home. Let me teach him a class. It is the first time in my life to teach someone else. I am very nervous. If there is something inappropriate, please forgive me."

The female students below looked at her with smiles, which made her relax a little, "Before class, I would like to ask you why you came to Jinling Women's Academy to study?"

The female students didn't say a word at first, they just looked at each other and laughed, and finally someone said: "My mother said that there is a mother-in-law in the palace who teaches etiquette, let me learn some rules."

Another person said: "When a child of an aristocratic family marries a bride, he must be educated and reasonable. There is nothing wrong with studying in a school run by the palace."

Another person said: "My eldest sister is here, so my mother asked me to come too."

Liang Guanjing nodded, "Has anyone ever thought that coming to the academy to study is to increase knowledge and cultivate one's character?"

Someone said: "I think so, and I was ridiculed by my aunt at home."

After a pause, Liang Guanjing said again, "Has anyone ever thought about coming to the academy to learn skills, and in the future, they will ascend the pavilion to worship and assist the king?"

Someone said: "But this dynasty is not like the Tang Dynasty. There are no women who come out to be officials."

Liang Guanjing said: "What about the Qi family governing the country and the world? Does anyone have such an ideal?"

There was an instant silence in the classroom.

"Presumably everyone has seen the word behind me. Today we are talking about the way of being a king. Can anyone explain what the word 'jun' means?" Liang Guanjing asked.

A student said: "The word 'monarch' refers to the meaning of the king who governs the country."

Another human said: "A gentleman is a person with talent, learning and morality, and it is also a respectful title for men."

Liang Guanjing said: "Everyone is very knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of the word Jun. Just now someone said that 'Jun' is a respectful name for men. May I ask if this word can be an honorific name for women?"

Someone said: "During the Han Dynasty, Lord Wuyang and Lord Xiucheng were all women, and Wenjun and Lijun were also the names of boudoir women. Women can also use this character if they think about it."

Liang Guanjing said: "That is to say, a woman with both virtue and talent is also worthy of the title of gentleman. A while ago, in order to teach everyone, I went to the South Study Room to read the lives of many famous women throughout the ages. This In class, let's choose someone to talk about, but we don't know who you are more interested in, let's talk about her together."

The girls in the seat were all looking at me and I looking at you, and they exchanged in low voices. Some talked about Empress Changsun in the Tang Dynasty, and some said Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty. There are many conclusions about right and wrong, but what I really want to talk about most is Emperor Chengzong's empress Liang, who is the birth mother of today."

Su Mingyue became anxious as soon as she heard this, Wang Wanyan pulled her back and signaled her to stay calm.

Liang Guanjing's eyes fell on the girl. When she looked directly at others, she always had a sense of shock that could penetrate people's hearts. Sure enough, Princess Yuping, who was sitting in the corner, said: "In class, you openly talked about the birth mother of today. , is disrespectful."

Everyone's eyes focused on Princess Yuping, she was very eye-catching at a young age, because everyone knew that she had a special status, and had already found out her background.Now that the princess has said so, everyone should stop talking nonsense. It would be bad for the little princess to report to the queen mother later.

Who knows that there is a bold way: "It is said that the officials in the court can question the holy order. Why can't we discuss a single person in the classroom? It's just a casual chat. How can it become a nonsense?"

Liang Guanjing looked at the girl with calm eyes, "This girl, what do you want to discuss about her?"

"Empress Liang spent half her life as a soldier, and during the reign of Hongxi, she still led troops on many expeditions. I especially admire such a strange woman."

Liang Guanjing smiled slightly, "Oh?"

Unexpectedly, the girl went on to say: "But now that Emperor Shun is on the throne today, she retreats to the Nangong, may I ask if she has been hidden in the deep palace with no name for the rest of her life?"

Su Mingyue was about to cry, she completely regretted persuading Liang Guanjing to come to Lao Shizi's class now, these little girls' movies were too powerful, which made Liang Guanjing look embarrassed, and forced a little smile.

Another person said: "I think Empress Liang is a great person who honors the world and delegates power to Emperor Tianshun. She can afford it and let it go."

Many people nodded in agreement.

Another girl said: "Emperor Chengzong and Empress Liang shared weal and woe, and the husband and wife were deeply affectionate. They joined hands to create a foundation and envied others. It was because of the incident of Shenjiying. In the last year or so, the late emperor still released her from Yangde Palace. , regained her queen status. If it were someone else, how could there be forgiveness for treason? It can be seen that the late emperor really loved her to the bottom of his heart, and I am particularly envious of such a relationship between husband and wife."

Liang Guanjing pinched the armrest of the chair, unable to laugh anymore.

"But have you forgotten? In the year when Shang was born, Emperor Chengzong had not yet ascended the throne, and King Zhengyue Qi was born in the next year. That is to say, when Empress Liang was pregnant with Liujia and went into battle, Emperor Chengzong accepted the Yuan family. Can this be called deep love between husband and wife?"

Su Mingyue completely covered her face, she didn't want to listen anymore, she wanted to turn around and leave, but Liang Guanjing was still sitting on the chair, how could she abandon her and go, if she wanted to suffer, she would suffer together, so let's suffer.

I only heard someone in the classroom say: "Empress Liang is indeed a mother who respects the world and understands righteousness. My mother often uses this incident to warn the female family members in the family. If you are pregnant, you must be considerate of your husband. Some wives will take the initiative to find a good husband for your husband." A concubine's behavior is worthy of praise, and it shows the demeanor of a housewife."

Wang Wanyan said to Su Mingyue: "Unexpectedly, there was a time when she accidentally set a bad example!"

Su Mingyue shot a murderous look in the past.

The girls in the classroom were chattering about the mother of the country, and someone finally noticed that Liang Guanjing was silent, "What do you think about this, sir?"
