Chapter 293 Mid-Autumn Festival Ceremony

Chapter 293 Mid-Autumn Festival
Ye Wanqing looked at Chu Anlan again.

Chu Anlan laughed: "I eat the same thing as you."

Ye Wanqing turned around and gave Ying Xiang a few instructions, then turned back and said, "Dr. Gu and I have something else to discuss, you guys go to the front hall first.

If you are hungry, eat first and don’t wait for me.”

Gu Chen bowed to several people.

Chu Anlan stood up with the help of a cane: "Qing'er, wait for me, I'll go with you."

Ye Wanqing had no choice but to turn around and help him.

The three of them went to the backyard.

gazebo.

As soon as he sat down, Gu Chen said, "I couldn't help it and asked Madam Ling the reason.

She said that she had been dreaming that she was her husband recently.

She said that she knew she would not live long, so she wanted to give it a try.

That’s why she increased the dosage of the medicine. If it worked, she would live a few more years. If it failed, she would reunite with her husband…”

"What about Xiao Fengnian?" Chu Anlan asked, "Can she let go of her own child because she misses her late husband?
Xiao Fengnian is less than one year old..."

Gu Chen lowered his eyes and drank a sip of tea: "I have also asked this question, but Madam Ling has already made up her mind.

She asked me to tell the princess and the prince a message: She has made up her mind, but she will be sorry for the princess and the prince. "

Ye Wanqing clasped her fingers into her palms: "I understand. From now on, you just do whatever she says."

Chu Anlan looked at her and said, "Qing'er, won't you try to persuade her again?"

Ye Wanqing shook her head: "Since she has made up her mind, I will respect her decision.

Her heart disease is incurable. Even with proper treatment, it can only slightly relieve the pain and prolong the life.

Others cannot bear the pain for her, so they have no right to persuade her to continue to endure the pain. "

Chu Anlan let out a breath of foul air: "In this case, Gu Chen, please prescribe more pain-relieving medicine for her in the future.

It's good to suffer less.

If there is anything missing, please tell me."

Gu Chen nodded: "I understand."

Ye Wanqing said: "It's getting late, let's go to the restaurant for dinner first, don't keep them waiting for too long.

After running all day, I guess I’m starving.”

The three of them went to the front hall together.

After dinner, several young men gathered together and talked for a long time, and then all squeezed into Ye Chenxi's yard to sleep.

The next day, at the hour of Mao, Ye Chenxi got up and went to Gu Chen's yard for class. As expected, Chu Shengxi went out carrying a broom.

Not only did he go by himself, he also dragged Liu Rushi to accompany him.

When Chu Anlan got up, Chu Shengxi had already finished sweeping the floor and came back.

Chu Anlan whispered to Ye Wanqing: "If they continue to be so obedient and diligent, it's not impossible to bring them along."

Ye Wanqing said calmly: "Wait for a reply from the capital."

After all, the three of them were studying at the Imperial College, and if they just ran away like that, they should at least inform the capital.

Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "I thought you would find them noisy and troublesome."

Ye Wanqing narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't you and Chen Xi quarrel?"

"Ahem..." Chu Anlan cleared her throat: "A husband and a brother are different after all.

Chenxi and I both listen to you very much."

"Really?" Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly: "I think Chu Shengxi and Mr. Liu are more obedient.

I looked at them and they dared not say a word.

If you don’t know me, you’d think I’m very fierce.”

"You're not fierce, you're majestic." Chu Anlan smiled: "To be honest, I always think that you're more suitable to be a teacher."

Ye Wanqing reminded: "There are no female teachers in the Western Wei Dynasty."

"So what?" Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "I support you to be the first female teacher in the Western Wei Dynasty." Ye Wanqing smiled: "After my travels, I will go back to Beijing and give it a try."

Chu Anlan also laughed: "In the end, he was severely reported and reprimanded by the etiquette officer?"

Ye Wanqing put away her smile and said, "I do have the idea of ​​imparting knowledge. If I really want to do it, the ceremonial officer can't stop me."

Chu Anlan was surprised: "Qing'er, do you really want to be a teacher?"

Ye Wanqing looked at him and expressed her long-held idea: "I want to open a girls' school, a girls' school for the common people."

Girls' school?

Or is it a girls' school for common people?
Chu Anlan touched his chin and said, "In ordinary families, even men don't have much chance to go to school.

It is probably even more difficult to let girls go to school...

Although I didn't study seriously, I still remember that the teacher in the Imperial College said that the fall of the previous dynasty was caused by an uprising of scholars...

By the time of the Western Wei Dynasty, private schools had undergone many reforms and were basically controlled by local aristocratic families, with strict admission controls.

Every private school needs to guarantee the students who enroll in the school, so that they can inherit the same tradition and share the same honor and disgrace...

In recent decades, the number of literate people in the society has decreased, and the people have become more and more obedient to the imperial court.

They just like obedient people.

They think that people who have only a limited knowledge of books are the most rebellious and the most likely to be out of control..."

If students riot, the private school and the family that runs the school will also be implicated.

No one is willing to take such a risk.

Over time, the selection of students became increasingly strict, and fewer and fewer people were able to read and write.

For those in power, as long as people don’t starve to death or cause trouble within their scope of responsibility…

But, is it really good to continue like this in the long run?
Ye Wanqing couldn't care less about so many things.

She said slowly: "Private schools for boys are the business of the Imperial College and the court, I only take care of girls' schools.

I hope that women from the civilian population can also study more, so that they can live well even without men."

Chu Anlan's eyes lit up: "That sounds great! If you want to do it, just go for it boldly after you return to Beijing!"

Ye Wanqing smiled: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

It’s still early before we return to Beijing.

……

I don’t know what Chu Shengxi and the others talked about in private, but they were unusually obedient in the next few days.

Moreover, people have become much more diligent.

Every day at the hour of Mao, they would get up. Liu Rushi and Ye Chenxi would go to Gu Chen's yard to read together, while Chu Shengxi and Chu Shaozhen would go to practice martial arts with Chu Anlan.

On the day when Lu Xinrou and Xiao Fengnian moved, they went to help early...

Ye Wanqing was busy preparing Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.

By the time someone was sent to deliver the gifts to the capital, there were only a few days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This day.

Ye Chenting, who is usually busy and rarely seen, returned home early and had dinner with his brothers and sisters.

During the banquet, Ye Chenting said, “The day after tomorrow morning, I and the other officials from the court will return to Beijing.

How do you guys plan?"

Second brother is leaving?
Ye Chenxi asked hurriedly: "Second brother, is it the emperor who urged you to go back?"

Ye Chenting nodded: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will start preparing for the prince's wedding, and the ceremonial officials from Lin'an will have to go back in advance to help.

Lord Lu and I will also provide assistance.

But you, Chenxi, Shaozhen, Chu Shengxi and Rushi, are you really not going to go back to Beijing with me?"

"I won't go back!" Ye Chenxi said, "I've already watched the prince's wedding once, there's no need to watch it a second time.

What's more, I have been studying medical books with my master for such a long time.

Are we going to give up halfway when we return to Beijing?"

"We won't go back either." Chu Shengxi followed Ye Chenxi's words and said, "I have sent a letter to my grandmother, asking her to intercede for me. Even if the Imperial College lets me drop out, I will not go back."
