Shu Yuwan left it to Qinghe to handle the affairs of the girls' school. After this period of experience, Qinghe is now good at doing things.
The location was chosen on West Street, where ordinary people gathered. It used to be a large restaurant, but it closed down due to poor management. Qinghe bought the restaurant and renovated it.
As for teachers, if they teach music, chess, calligraphy and painting, it may be difficult to find them, but it is much easier to teach embroidery, cooking, medical skills, etc. Folk craftsmen are much more open-minded than scholars.
Qingdai replied: "Qinghe said that the embroidery girl was hired by a well-known embroiderer in Nandi Xiulou, the cooking skills were hired by a master who once worked in Shangshifang, and the medical skills were hired by An old doctor from Tongxintang, these people are not easy to hire, but Qinghe hinted that it is your property, so these people are willing. "
"In addition, we hired Wen Po, a perfumer, a carpenter, a framer, a seal engraver and others at a high price."
After hearing this, Shu Yuwan nodded with satisfaction: "Qinghe did a great job."
This is what she thought. For the common people, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting cannot support their families, but these crafts can. If these women have skills, they will be able to make a living.
Shu Yuwan reported to the emperor that the women's school had been prepared for the opening of the school. Soon, the emperor asked Ah Qing to send a painting.
Unfolding the jade ribbon, you can see the large Chinese characters 【Lishen College】 in the west. The writing is strong and the charm is smooth.
Seeing this word, Shu Yuwan couldn't help but smile on her face. The emperor quite understood what she was thinking.
Shu Yuwan handed the calligraphy to Qingdai and said, "Frame it well and hang it above the main entrance of the women's school."
Qingdai also smiled: "Yes!"
With the emperor's support, the matter of setting up a girls' school will definitely go more smoothly.
Although she is not a woman with nowhere to go, she is still willing to see that there are fewer such women in this world. Thinking about it, if the master and his wife had not doted on the young lady, the young lady would not have been able to establish herself in the world when they first reconciled. At that time, Qing Dai still felt a little distressed for the young lady. Fortunately, everything is fine now.
Qinghe, after receiving the news from Qingdai, started recruiting students for 【Lishen College】.
Qinghe posted enrollment notices everywhere in Beijing, especially on West Street where ordinary people gathered. Women who had made plans to divorce, divorced women, and homeless women could enter the academy and learn skills!
The tuition fee is only 500 yuan a year. For those who are not well-off, they can also pay the tuition on credit first. After they have completed their studies and found a job, they can pay back the tuition fees.
As soon as the news came out, Jingzhong became excited!
Most of those who have daughters who are divorced or divorced at home can’t help but think about it.
Grandma Zhang was one of them. Grandma Zhang stood in front of the notice and confirmed again to a young man who looked like a scholar next to her: "Sir, are you really going to accept a divorced woman?"
The scholar-looking man nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that's what it says on the notice. Women who have been divorced or divorced can come here to learn skills." After that, he lowered his head and whispered to the old woman: "I heard that this 【Lishen Academy】 was run by the Queen, who also divorced back then."
After hearing this, Grandma Zhang felt reassured and went home immediately. She wanted to go back and tell her daughter that her daughter was divorced because she could not have a child in three years. After she came back, she burst into tears. She was also worried that her daughter would not be born in the future. When you get old, you have nowhere to go. If you can learn a skill, you can find a place for yourself in the future.
Soon, many women braved their courage and came to the door of 【Lishen College】 to inquire about various matters regarding admission.
Qinghe personally led the people to receive him at the entrance of the college.
Shu Yuwan wrote a letter to Princess Ning, Princess Changning, and Mrs. Wang from Princess Ning's natal family, asking them to attend the opening ceremony of 【Lishen College】.
The nobles of the aristocratic families in Beijing also quickly received the news and couldn't help but discuss it. Most of the literati still disapproved of this.
Chen Yushi said: "This queen not only monopolizes the harem, but also opens this 【Lishen Academy】, to put it simply..."
After all, he still had some scruples, so Chen Yushi choked back what he said. Another censor who was traveling with him nodded in agreement, feeling dissatisfied with the queen in his heart.
Zhang Yushi said: "Left and right is not a big deal. Besides, I heard that this 【Lishen College】 was married to the emperor and was inscribed by the emperor."
Several people at the Yushitai became silent.
In Shu Mansion, Shu Shilang and his wife, Tang family, Zhou family and others were also talking about this matter.
Tang said worriedly: "What you did is a good thing, but I'm afraid people will talk about your past and divorce again."
Mrs. Zhou agreed: "Yes, mother, why do you have to do this?"
In Zhou's view, the Queen's life is very good now, and there is really no need to worry about it.
Mrs. Shu didn't answer and looked at Minister Shu.
Wanwan didn't get angry with them about this matter, but she generally knew what Wanwan was thinking. The child was kind-hearted. She had suffered the hardship herself, and now that her life was better, she wanted to help other women.
Shu Shilang said: "My wife runs this academy to benefit women all over the world. Although it will cause temporary controversy, it will ultimately be a good thing that benefits the people. In the long run, it will be beneficial to my reputation among the people, no matter when and where." , our whole family will stand on your side.”
Mrs. Shu nodded immediately and said: "Master is right, I will write a letter to the empress, and I will also go and have a look on the day when the academy starts."
Mrs. Tang then said, "My daughter-in-law will go too."
Seeing Tang's behavior, Mrs. Zhou said, "I'll go too." After all, there was nothing wrong with following her sister-in-law.
Shi Lang Shu nodded when he saw it.
Princess Ning and Princess Changning received Shu Yuwan's post and happily attended the appointment.
Mrs. Wang hesitated and wrote a letter to Princess Ning, asking about Princess Ning's attitude. Seeing her active support, she decided to become one with Princess Ning.
Shu Yuwan was very happy to receive replies from three people.
I received another letter from Mrs. Shu, knowing that her mother and two sisters-in-law were going to support her, I couldn't help but smile.
......
Soon, it was the day when the girls' school started.
