Chapter 129

After such a hurry and busy day, it was only in the evening that Mrs. Pei remembered her eldest daughter who was far away in the countryside.

In fact, Mrs. Pei hadn't thought of her eldest daughter for a while. Just like when she decided to keep her young daughter in the country, Pei's mother was thinking day and night at the beginning, breaking her heart and breaking her lungs, and missing her like a broken heart. But since the decision has been made, the life in front of me is still to be lived, no matter how guilty miss it, the people and things in front of me are always more important.

Therefore, now only occasionally does Mrs. Pei take time out of her busy schedule to think of the eldest daughter who was sent to the countryside.

In the end, she is the daughter who brought her up by one hand. Even if she is sad, heartache, and disappointment, she is still the flesh that fell from her body. She has grown to be in her teens with her own eyes. How can it be said that you can let go? What's more, parents are always more pity for the weak and the poor, and always hope that everything will be well. The youngest daughter is valued by the Prince Regent, and will be married into the palace in two months. The dowry gifts are so piled up that they can't even fit in a yard; the eldest daughter...

This contrast is too stark, Pei shi thought about crying, and couldn't help but feel sour, and whispered to Zhen's father: "Seeing that Tingyun is about to get married, I don't know how Yiyun's marriage is going. already?"

Father Zhen didn't have the sticky, ever-turning tenderness of a mother like Pei's.

He is a man, and he used to be in charge of the party. Although he is used to being muddy at home on weekdays, if he really made a decision, it would be extremely decisive. Moreover, he was really tired of being troubled by the eldest daughter's troubles - if she hadn't had a vicious heart, how could he have been sent to the country? If it wasn't for her ignorance of repentance and her willful escape from marriage, she would have been able to get married at the end of last year.

Even Father Zhen felt that he was embarrassing the elders of the clan by sending such a daughter back to the clan, and felt quite guilty. You must know that when Mr. Zhen went early, only Mrs. Zhen, a widow, lived with her son. Naturally, the care of the family was indispensable. Father Zhen was also quite grateful. I just didn't expect that, after so many years, he would even bother the elders to worry about his unsatisfactory daughter...

Therefore, seeing Pei's mentioning the eldest daughter, Zhen's father somehow felt a little bit of inexplicable irritability in his heart. But he had always loved his wife dearly, so he knew that he would need to be persuaded slowly, so he said, "Actually, it would be better to send her to the countryside... Tingyun's marriage was so urgent that he directly overtook her sister, if she was still in Beijing. Here, there may be some gossip that will be provoked."

When Pei Shi heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "What you said also makes sense."

"By the way, how are the preparations for Tingyun's dowry?" Zhen's father calmly changed the subject, "Although the marriage is indeed a little urgent, but in the end we have climbed high, and my daughter has been wronged for so many years. It's not good to make her suffer any more in the dowry."

Pei Shi also felt that this was true, and unknowingly put Zhen Yiyun's affairs behind him, and re-talked to Zhen's father about Zhen Tingyun's dowry.

In the end, it was the first time to marry a daughter, not the kind that gave the dowry to the family and was solely responsible for it. The husband and wife both had mixed feelings when they talked about it.

The two discussed it for a long time, tossing and turning, and they didn't sleep well all night.

*********

It stands to reason that the dowry gifts from the palace have been delivered, and the Qin Tianjian has already counted the days. The Ministry of Rites has also begun to prepare for the marriage. Zhen Tingyun, the bride, should also prepare for the marriage at home, embroider a dowry or something.

However, after a few days, Zhen Tingyun went to the women's school again.

People say that living until old age learns, Zhen Tingyun can be regarded as a perfect practice of this sentence.

When Zhen Tingyun went to the women's dormitory in the car, Du Qingqing looked confused; when Zhen Tingyun went to class with Du Qingqing holding the book the next day, Yang Qionghua looked confused.

Really, they all suspected that they were blind - otherwise, Zhen Tingyun, who was about to get married soon, didn't prepare for marriage at home, why did she come to school for girls?

Compared to Du Qingqing's hesitant speech, Yang Qionghua was much more succinct, and said directly: "I heard that your wedding date with the prince has already been set? Yes, this June?"

When asked about this, Yang Qionghua suspected that he might have misremembered the time. Maybe the wedding date was set for June next year—the female school graduation is also in June, and it is impossible to say that it is the first step to graduate and the second to get married. This also explains why Zhen Tingyun is still there. Can go to women's school.

However, Zhen Tingyun's answer shattered Yang Qionghua's suspicions: "Well, the good day for Supervisor Qin Tian is June 28."

Yang Qionghua was about to go crazy: "You are about to get married, what are you doing here at women's school?"

Zhen Tingyun was orderly sorting out the books to be used in the class, and he responded calmly: "Why can't you come? Not only now, even after my wedding with the prince, I'm going to go back to the women's school. Yes, until graduation."

Having said this, Zhen Tingyun paused slightly, then turned to look at Du Qingqing, with a little guilt in his eyes, "I'm afraid I won't be able to stay there any longer."

Du Qingqing was so moved that he was about to cry: "..." Thank you so much! If you come to live in a room with me after you marry into the palace, are you sure that the regent won't overturn the vinegar jar and secretly send someone to kill me? !

Zhen Tingyun didn't feel Du Qingqing's surging emotions at all, she thought about it seriously, and decided to explain her thoughts to Yang Qionghua and Du Qingqing: "Actually, I have also thought about this matter carefully. It is true that no female students continued to go to school after marriage, but some female students chose to drop out of school for their own marriages..."

Dropping out of school is rare, but it's not uncommon.

Generally speaking, women's studies are so difficult, and those who get admitted will naturally cherish them very much. Generally, if there is no problem, they will insist on reading to the end. Of course, there are also those who have to drop out of school due to a change in their family or individuals, such as Zhen Yiyun; or those who are engaged in a family engagement, drop out of school due to the requirements of their family or their husband's family, and are to be married at home... Of course, more will still be Arrange the marriage after the completion of the women's school. After all, the women's school is difficult to pass, and it is not easy to successfully graduate. If you can marry an excellent student who has graduated from the women's school, you will have a bright face. For the daughter of a businessman like Du Qingqing, the best way to enter the school is to graduate.

Therefore, since the founding of this dynasty and the founding of the Women's School, there has really been no one like Zhen Tingyun.

Obviously, she is about to marry into the palace and become a princess. With the Prince Regent's current power and position, the Queen Mother avoided his edge and was driven to the Nangong. The position of the Queen Regent was simply not as noble as the Queen Mother, and she could be called the honor of women in the world.

Such a person still has to stay in the women's school until the women's school graduates?

This is too unexpected!

Yang Qionghua was surprised, Xingmei stared at Zhen Tingyun with wide eyes.

"However, I don't think the absence of a precedent does not mean that this is not feasible, it's just that there is one less person who has set precedent." Zhen Tingyun continued his words with deliberation, "In the previous dynasty, what was advocated was that 'a woman's incompetence is a virtue. ', not only is there no women's school, but many ladies only study the Four Books of Women, and there is even a ridiculous habit of binding their feet. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the women's school was opened, which can be regarded as creating a precedent for women to study. , and also gave the world a way of life for women in the world - it is precisely because of this that women like Mrs. Chu can rely on their academic achievements to stand on their own after reconciliation. respect and admiration.”

"However, even so, most of the female students nowadays only regard the female school as their entry level, in order to raise their price-even me, last year, I thought that I would do well after I was admitted to the female school. Study, choose a good marriage for yourself after graduation. I know this is not wrong, but the meaning of women's study should not stop there..."

Zhen Tingyun was halfway through speaking, suddenly he didn't know how to explain the complicated thoughts in his heart, and finally he could only say: "The way of learning should not be divided between men and women, men can go to school, women can also; even saints say 'Education has no distinction', which shows that this way of studying should not be classified. Regardless of whether you are married or not, no matter what your status is, you are all female students in women's schools. Although, I really wanted to be able to choose a good one. I just took the women's study after marriage, but now I don't want to give up my studies because of my marriage with the prince."

"If there is no precedent for continuing to study after marriage, let me start."

Hearing this, Du Qingqing felt that Zhen Tingyun's words were not unreasonable, but he was still a little worried and hesitantly said: "Your idea is very good, but if you really do this, I am afraid that you will provoke a lot of criticism. "

Although there are no foreign men in the women's school, but Zhen Tingyun behaves like this, maybe someone will say that she "doesn't follow the way of women". Moreover, she is about to become a princess, and her words and deeds are eye-catching, and there may be a censor to impeach her.

Yang Qionghua was also worried, but she was always smart, she immediately caught the key, and asked Zhen Tingyun: "Have you told the prince about this? What does the prince mean?"

Zhen Tingyun nodded knowingly: "He knows it, and he has already agreed."

Yang Qionghua's heart was half down, and he helped to comfort Du Qingqing: "With the Regent here, no one would dare to speak ill of the Regent Princess. As the so-called 'upper and lower effect', there may be people who will learn to stop the clouds in the future. After marriage, continue to study."

Zhen Tingyun also nodded seriously, and said, "Yes, I have read the school rules in women's schools. There is no age limit in those rules, nor does it stipulate that women must drop out of school after marriage. In short, I To do so, although it is setting a precedent, is not considered unlawful, it is reasonable."

Yang Qionghua pouted: God fucking "reasonable"!

However, since he is his friend and his future "aunt" after all, Yang Qionghua has to pay more attention and remind him, "You'd better discuss this matter with Madam Chu and some gentlemen in the women's school. As long as the regent agrees, the female dean and a few gentlemen nod, the people below should not be able to make a big deal."

Zhen Tingyun also knew that Yang Qionghua was thinking about himself, and he felt that it was appropriate, so he nodded in agreement: "Well, I know."

Zhen Tingyun was not a procrastinator. Since he had an idea, he wanted to find Mrs. Chu this afternoon to talk about it.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but happened to meet Wu Yue on the way.

Wu Yue had been hiding from Zhen Tingyun before, but at this moment, she suddenly bumped into the disaster star that she had been avoiding these days. Her face was startled, and she subconsciously wanted to pull her cousin Wu Qian by her side and pretend to be invisible. Hurry up and dodge this damn scourge.

Fortunately, she quickly calmed down again, and had to go up to greet her with her cousin Wu Qian, forced a smile, and asked with concern: "Miss Zhen is here to drop out of school?"

When she thought about it, Zhen Tingyun was going to marry to the palace in two months. Of course, it was impossible to stay in the women's school, and she would definitely have to drop out.

It is undeniable that when she thinks that Zhen Tingyun is going to drop out of school, Wu Yue's heart is still somewhat relieved at this time-although she is also very jealous that Zhen Tingyun's identity and talent can climb to the top of the regent and ascend to the sky in one step. to become the Princess Regent. However, if such a person can marry earlier, drop out of school earlier, and stay away from her, it may be a real good thing.

However, to Wu Yue's surprise, Zhen Tingyun not only didn't nod his head when he heard the words, but raised his eyebrows, and asked back, pretending to be surprised, "Who said I was going to drop out?"

Wu Yue: "..."

A pair of cheap nieces like Wu Yue, Zhen Tingyun naturally put on the air of an elder: "You are about to be married soon, this is a big girl, don't listen to rumors like this any more. .I'm reading a lot, why should I drop out of school?"

Wu Yue, Wu Yue is about to bite a mouthful of silver teeth.

God knows, she has almost exhausted all her self-control to maintain an elegant and polite smile on her face, with a restrained and polite tone, and then said: "I heard that Miss Zhen is about to marry the prince, If you don’t drop out of school and continue to go to women’s school after marriage, you will only be criticized.”

Zhen Tingyun said indifferently: "It's alright, it's just some ignorant outsiders. Besides, we are going to be relatives soon, I ask you to shout 'cousin niece', you are a junior, always You can't just watch your aunt being criticized, can you?"

Wu Yue: "..."

Seeing that Wu Yue was blocked and speechless, Zhen Tingyun turned his gaze to the girl beside Wu Yue, who was a little older than Wu Yue and had a slightly similar appearance.

Zhen Tingyun rolled his eyes, made careful assumptions, and boldly asked for confirmation: "This one is probably my cousin too?"

Wu Yue: "..."

Wu Qian: "..."

Fuck your cousin, fuck your aunt!

There was no need for Wu Yue or Wu Qian to answer at all, Zhen Tingyun had already gotten the answer from their faces, with a slightly relieved expression on his face: "Yes, I have already heard from the lord, a few too The eldest princess is kind and gentle, all elders are gentle and courteous, and the family has a family background, and the girls raised must be good. It is estimated that there are many cousins ​​and nieces in the Kyoto Women's School?"

"Hey, it's always a family when it comes to talking about it. Presumably you nieces can't bear to watch my aunt be criticized..."

"You say, is this the truth?"
