Chapter 321 Enrollment
"Yes, my daughter-in-law had a difficult birth before. At that time, the local midwife went out and found a female doctor. Although those girls had never given birth before, they were good at manual labor. Both the child and the adults were fine. I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart."
Dean Qiu looked at them and waved his hand.
"To receive your affirmation means that our girls' school's efforts have not been in vain."
Then he turned to look at Lu Zhicheng on the ground and said, "You said that the students in the women's school are all slaves. I think I should explain this to everyone."
"As everyone knows, during the cold winter of 17 years ago, many people were left homeless, and many sold their children, especially women like us. We were the first to be sold. The old lady of the Duanbo Mansion couldn't bear to see women suffer, so she gave all her money to rescue these people. However, there were so many people that making ends meet became a problem, especially with so many girls."
People around were whispering, recreating the scene of that year.
"It was tough back then. There was a long queue in front of the Salesian Church. If it weren't for the Church, some people might have been eaten like in some places in Nanyang."
"Not to mention Nanyang, even in some villages near the capital, those people cooked and ate the elderly or women in their families. It's really scary to think about it."
"Yes, as everyone said, there was nowhere to put the women and children we helped, so the old lady raised them all on the farm. But the farm was so small, there was no room for so many people. So the old lady simply came up with a plan to teach these people how to make a living so that they can be self-reliant in the future."
"That's how Xunlu Girls' School came about. And that unknown person said the students there were all slaves..."
Zuoqiu Shiyi shook his head. "All students who enroll will have their indentures invalidated by the government. Instead, they will sign a living indenture with the school. This means they become citizens of good character from the day they enter."
"Wow!"
The crowd exploded. They couldn't imagine that so many children who were bought with money back then could be released just like that.
"Oh my god, this isn't a student at all, this is money wasted."
"How is that possible?! You're lying."
Lu Zhicheng's eyes widened. When they went to check, they didn't know about this.
"My wife Chunniang and my two children were sold to the Charity Hall by Wu Qing. Now my daughter is a student at the girls' school, and her indenture has been destroyed."
"Chun Niang, is it true? Ni'er is a good citizen now. What about you and your eldest son?"
"Since I became a teacher at the girls' school, I have changed my life contract and signed a death contract with the girls. As for Li'er, he works on the farm of Duan Bo's mansion and is still a servant of Duan Bo's mansion."
It sounded a bit fantastic to people around them. The daughter became a good citizen, but the son was still a slave.
"I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've heard of this."
"That's right. This is the first time I've heard of someone treating a baby girl as a treasure."
"So all the students in our girls' school are decent and good citizens, and several shops in the capital are opened by students from our girls' school. I'm sure everyone knows this."
Now everyone knows which stores they are, and they often go there to check it out. To be honest, the products are really good.
There is a Zhuyan Pavilion, which has many beautiful pearl flower styles, and they are often different from the usual three styles.
The most important thing is that they are cheap, and ordinary people can afford to wear them.
Not only this one, there is also a Jiaoyanfang, which has countless scented oils, soaps, facial ointments, etc.
With the emergence of these shops in the capital, women going out have become much more charming.
Everyone was a little envious. These were all skills, and this girl was taught just like that. If their own daughters learned them, they could make money too.
At this time, someone in the crowd asked loudly: "President Qiu, does your girls' school accept girls from outside? I want to send my daughter there."
Everyone reacted and looked at Zuoqiu Shiyi eagerly.
"Dean Qiu, I have a daughter at home. Can you send her to a girls' school to learn a craft?"
"Dean Qiu, and me too. My child is ten years old. What do you think of his age?"
Zuoqiu Shiyi was surrounded in an instant, and everyone asked questions at once.
"Alright, alright, everyone, be quiet."
Zuoqiu Shiyi cleared her throat. "Someone asked me before, but I haven't made up my mind yet. I need to think about it carefully. After all, our girls' school only accepts girls from the Bofu manor..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted.
"Dean Qiu, how can we have so many girls? It's the same if you recruit them from outside. Wouldn't it be better to just charge some for tuition?"
When they heard about Shu Xiu, everyone hesitated again. After all, the girl would belong to someone else's family when she grew up, so wouldn't that be like making wedding dresses for someone else?
But most families in the capital are well-off, and they don't mind paying any tuition. It can't be higher than the cost of a boy's education.
Zuoqiu Shiyi noticed the expressions of those people and was mentally prepared. This matter depended on the long term and one could not seek short-term gains.
"July is the time for the new round of female students to enroll. If you are interested, you can bring your daughters here between June 15th and 25th. You can also take this opportunity to visit the girls' school."
When they heard that they could enter the girls' school, the passion that had been dormant in the school began to reignite.
Go to school and see, ordinary people don’t have this opportunity.
"Okay, okay, we'll definitely go then."
Not far away, Lu Zhicheng and his group were tied up. When they heard the girls' school over there starting to recruit students, they were so angry that they cursed in their hearts.
They are the ones who are making wedding clothes for others.
At this time, the government office arrived and the people from Duan Bo's mansion sent the man directly to the prison.
Don’t ask, if you ask, it means there is a relationship.
The mastermind behind this is definitely not going to be found, but a few days in jail is enough to teach these people a lesson.
"idiot!"
In the Second Prince's Mansion, Chen Hu smashed the teacup.
The other staff members laughed at him secretly, saying that what he had done was really embarrassing.
"Mr. Chen, you should be thankful that this matter has not been discovered. Otherwise, if you implicate the Second Prince, he will not forgive you."
Chen Hu snorted coldly, "Why? My people only suffered some minor injuries, unlike the underground people, who have lost their legs. It's really tragic."
Hearing this, Mr. Xie's face turned bad. He didn't want to say more to him, so he turned around and left.
Just wait, in two days, he will be able to present the noodles to the second prince, and then he will be the most important person in the second prince's eyes.
