Chapter 1822 - 1822 He wouldn't dare
1822 He wouldn’t dare
Queen Dugu chatted with the two elders for a long time. Even when the little boys were tired of playing and had fallen asleep on the ground, she was still chattering.
What she meant was that she and great Zhou would send a team to dalang province to warmly welcome the king of quicksand, Gu Xin, and the others. They would also welcome the princes and princesses of the other countries in the West.
Grandma Gu didn’t have any objections, and Grandpa Gu agreed first. He planned to ask Qian Liang to cooperate with the people in the goddess Kingdom. Their Xinxin had suffered for more than a year outside, so they had to welcome her well.
Therefore, Queen Dugu stayed at the Gu residence for three days. After discussing with Qian Liangduo and eldest Madam Peng, she went back to make the necessary arrangements.
As for her daughter, who had been on the side of outsiders since she was young, she had changed into men’s clothes and went to Gu Ren’s classes every day.
Gu Ren was six years old this year and had already gone to the Gu clan Academy to study with his peers. Dugu Mingyue was four years old this year. She could recite poems with Gu Ren at the age of three and could read some words, but she could not write them yet. It would be good for her to go to the academy.
……
In the desert, the team heading east was resting in an oasis, feeding water to the camels and filling up the water for the people.
After walking for a few days, Cai Xiaolian was a little tired. She was looking outside in the carriage.
Gu shouxin brought hot water and dry food to the carriage. He handed them to Cai Xiaolian and asked,”Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to rest here for two more days? Or let Xinxin take a Jade bead to eat?”
Cai Xiaolian took the items and shook her head.”It’s fine. I’ll be fine after eating a little. Maybe it’s because I’ve been eating dry food for the past few days, so I’m a little bored.”
Gu shouxin sat down and patted Cai Xiaolian’s back.”There are still twenty days before we can reach the dalang region. Just bear with it and it’ll be over.”
Cai Xiaolian laughed,”speaking of enduring, I don’t know if that kid is going to school seriously now.” You’re not at home, father dote on the child, and that kid is very clever. I’m really afraid that he won’t be willing to go to school.”
“He wouldn’t dare,” Gu shouxin replied. His father would give in to him, but his mother would not. No matter how much of a genius he was, he was nothing in front of his mother. Eldest brother, fourth brother, and I have been studying until we are fourteen years old. No matter how well we do, we must go. In my mother’s heart, no matter if it’s a child or a child, at a certain time, they should stay in school. If the school doesn’t accept women, I still have to come back to teach third. In this aspect, mother is very similar to the people of your era.”
Gu shouxin had already integrated all of the original owner’s memories a few years ago. Now, it was as if he had experienced the original owner’s 30 years of life himself. It was very natural.
Cai Xiaolian also agreed with Gu shouxin’s words. Perhaps her cheap mother-in-law had the bloodline of the goddess Kingdom, and she lived in the great Zhou Dynasty. In one place, women were respected, and in another place, men were respected. In her place, men and women were equal.
The Gu clan Academy opened by the Gu family had a female class. Girls between the ages of six and twelve in the kun Prefecture had to enter the school. They were not there for the imperial examination, but for learning and arithmetic. The classes were free. They only provided books in the beginning, and later on, they had to buy their own brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone.
After Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian made the charcoal pencil, they had saved a lot of money for the students.
The people of kunzhou were now happier than any other place, because the women here were treated much better than those in other states.
