Chapter 156, Women’s College

 Wake up the next day.

Liang Jin went to the prefecture as an errand.

After Mrs. Wu got up, she went to the streets with her maid to inquire about the academy. After she was ready to finish her studies, she and her two sons went to register at the academy.

Sister Ying teaches Sister Yang how to read and practice calligraphy at home.

They also need to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Mrs. Liang saw her teaching her sister in the yard and said proudly, "It seems that your mother is smart and spent a lot of money to let you learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now she will let you teach Sister Yang again, which will save a fortune."

Sister Ying couldn't help laughing, "You are really good at calculating."

Mrs. Liang said proudly, "That's not a good idea."

"But, Jiangnan is so prosperous. The ladies here would be better at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Otherwise, why don't you go and learn? Don't ask others to compete with you."

“It’s good to know that your father is also in the fifth grade. You are now the eldest daughter of the Zhizhou family. You must not let others compete with you, otherwise it will embarrass our Liang family.”

Sister Ying was ashamed, "I can't just study at the first level when my father gets promoted."

 When will it take to learn?

Mrs. Liang snorted and said shrewdly, "You don't understand this, do you? Misses from official families often hold piano recitals, poetry recitals, and so on."

“So many ladies are going to participate together, let’s show some talent. If your skills are not as good as others, aren’t you going to make a joke?”

After Mrs. Wu came back, she happened to hear this and said, "Your grandmother is right. You are a lady now. When the time comes to go out to parties with the ladies, you must have some talents that you can show off. Tomorrow, my mother will go to give you a gift." Ask if there are any female wives anywhere."

Sister Ying was ashamed, thinking that in ancient times she could not escape the fate of going to school every day.

At first I thought it would be virtuous to come here without talents.

Old Mrs. Liang glared at her and said, "You think so. It's a virtue to have no talent if you can't afford to study. Which official's daughter do you think is illiterate?"

Sister Ying laughed, thinking that Mrs. Liang’s knowledge was actually pretty good.

“Grandma, don’t you see that you have so much knowledge?”

 An old country lady with a far-sighted vision.

Mrs. Liang said with a proud smile, "That's it, what haven't I seen about your grandmother?

 Her old lady has seen fifty plays.

It is said in the play that the more capable a woman is, the better she will be able to marry.

The princesses have various talents, they can write poems, and they can also tell couples, which shows that women still need to be good at reading.

Sister Ying was surprised by Mrs. Liang’s enlightenment and gave her a big thumbs up.

“Grandma, if you ask me, you are the most civilized person in our family.”

If someone has a feudal mentality and thinks that it is virtuous for a woman to be talentless, I guess she and Sister Yang are still illiterate by now.

 Fortunately, Mrs. Liang is a civilized person.

Old Mrs. Liang felt very happy when she was praised, "Okay, I know you admire me, so after dinner, go to work as a female celebrity. Tomorrow, your mother and I will go out, and you and Sister Yang will find a female wife."

 On the second day.

 Wu really went out with Mrs. Liang.

Mrs. Wu supported her, and they walked and watched together on the street.

 The folk customs in Jiangnan are civilized, and many young men and women come out to sell or sell things on the streets.

 Unlike small towns, women are not allowed to show their faces.

The water here is beautiful and the people are beautiful. Mrs. Liang couldn't help but praise, "Jiangnan is a good place, and the girls raised are indeed very juicy."

Look at the flower girls on the flower boat. They are all as beautiful as flowers, with white and tender skin.

Mrs. Wu also looked at the red flower boat and saw that the flower girl inside was wearing very thin clothes. The red gauze dress was see-through, and her fair skin could be seen underneath.

Mrs. Wu quickly turned her eyes away, secretly thinking that this place was not just civilized, it was too civilized.

Seeing her shyness, Mrs. Liang laughed at her, "You can't be shy. The women here are so beautiful. You might as well buy some more beautiful gauze clothes so that you can show them to Brother Jin. It will save him the trouble of calling these pretty flower girls." Lost my eyes."

These words directly dragged Liang Jin into the water. Whenever Mrs. Wu thinks of Liang Jin flirting with those flower girls, she feels angry in her heart.

 “He dares!”

Old Mrs. Liang didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, "He is now the magistrate of the state. When the time comes to socialize and so on, he will inevitably meet those flower girls. You should be more generous."

 Wu was angry, "I don't!"

  Anyway, she was absolutely possessive of Liang Jin and did not want him to be touched by other women, not even anyone.

 Old Mrs. Liang couldn't stop laughing when she saw that she had four children, and she was still so jealous.

Seeing her teasing herself, Mrs. Wu snorted angrily, "You will bully me."

The mother-in-law and her husband have been together for more than ten years. They have a good relationship and are like best friends. They dare to say anything.

Old Mrs. Liang covered her handkerchief and smiled, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's go do some business."

Mrs. Wu then agreed and took her to find her wife.

Not to mention, there are so many women’s colleges in Jiangnan.

You don’t even need to look for Wu’s, you can see three of them on one street.

She went in to inquire and saw quite a few female students inside.

Most of those little girls are the daughters of wealthy merchant families, while the girls from official families are in another exclusive academy, the kind that only the richest people from official families can enter.

Mrs. Wu went directly to the women's college that only official ladies could enter. After asking about the situation, she wanted Sisters Ying and Yang to come and study.

 They checked her identity and reluctantly agreed for them to come.

Mrs. Wu didn't like the female steward's condescending look.

But when she saw the lady in class, she felt that this lady was more elegant than the previous one.

If Sister Ying and Sister Yang learn from each other, their temperament should be improved a lot.

So she signed up her two daughters and planned to let them study tomorrow.

 After returning home, Mrs. Wu told Sister Ying about the matter.

“Tomorrow you take your sister to the official women’s college, and the lunch lady will prepare it for you. Then ask the maid to heat it up for you to eat.”

Sister Ying asked curiously, "A female college in the official family?" This was the first time she heard of it.

  This is also the first time Wu has seen this kind of thing.

“Your grandmother and I went to see them in person. There are five ladies among them. They are all talented and have good temperament. When the time comes, you can learn from me carefully.”

“However, the female steward there seems to be looking down on people. When the time comes, don’t get into any conflicts with them and just concentrate on your studies.”

When Sister Ying heard this, she asked, "The housekeeper looks down on people?" No, "Whose family does the housekeeper belong to?"

 Your attitude is so arrogant?

 Wu Shi, "I have inquired about him, he is from the prefect's family."

That college was run by the prefect, the previous prefect, and his officials who pooled money together.

 It was full of girls from Jiangnan official families who went to be students.

 Watchmen are also talents recruited from various places.

The female steward is from the prefect's family and is responsible for keeping order in the college.

 She knew the details of Liang Jin's family. After knowing that their family came from a rural background, she naturally looked down upon them.

Mrs. Wu was too lazy to talk to her, so she told Sister Ying, "You just go and study, don't waste your time with boring people."

There are people everywhere who want to drag you to heaven, so there is no need to get angry with them.

 You can earn money by learning your talents.

  Good night~ fairies~ remember to vote~
