The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 175 Oath

"Of course, our old lady also knows that raising a daughter is not easy for you. In this world, families that raise daughters are rare and kind. The old lady said that these kind families should not be treated unfairly. Therefore, as long as the family's daughter is enrolled in school, the family will be given an extra ten kilograms of grain every year. If the daughter does well in school, the uncle's mansion will also reward her. When the time comes, we will make a sign and hang it in front of your house. Oh, your ancestors will be so lucky!"

This group of uneducated farmers were stunned by the fright, their faces flushed with excitement.

Food and money were trivial matters to them. If they learned well, would the Bofu make a sign for their family? Oh my God, if there was a sign, then their family would also be praised by the master of the Bofu.

There was a woman on their farm who had cooked for the master. She was very arrogant all day long and always told others that she had cooked for the master.

"My dear daughter, you must study hard when you go to college and bring honor to our Zhang family."

Zhang Bao's eyes were full of enthusiasm, and he held his two daughters as if they were treasures.

Zhang Qiao and Zhang Qing had never heard their father speak to them so kindly before. For the first time, they felt that they were also his children.

Zhang Bao had a good idea. Although his daughter would get married in the future, she was well educated and would have a formal job in the future.

Then his daughter will be a hot commodity. In the future, his daughter will say that the threshold of her in-laws' house will be trampled down.

He tried hard to have a son with his wife, so that when they had a son, his capable sister in the family could help him.

If... if this fate didn't happen, Zhang Bao would keep the most capable daughter and find a son-in-law for her when the time came. Anyway, his daughters could all make money.

In this era, it is not uncommon for a son-in-law to live with his wife.

Zhang Bao had a good idea. When he took the sisters Zhang Qiao and Zhang Qing to the village entrance, he half threatened and half coaxed them to study hard.

Zhang Qiao was older, and she took her younger sister Zhang Qing and nodded seriously to their father, saying that they would definitely win a medal for their family.

Similar scenes appeared in various farms of Duan Bo's mansion.

Zhang Qiao and other female students were led by the manager to the capital. By mid-June, all the female students had arrived at the academy.

The teacher and other staff in the academy had already taken their positions to welcome the first batch of female students from Xunlu Girls' School.

There are a total of 230 teaching staff in Xunlu Girls' School, including 49 teaching teachers, 60 guards, more than 20 college administrators, and the rest are kitchen staff and other related personnel.

Song Shengfu adopted some modern teaching management methods in Xunlu Girls' School, and made some changes to make them more in line with the times.

These people were basically selected from the mansion, the farm, and some shops. What was surprising was that most of the female teachers were from the group of people who were bought.

After reading the works of many female teachers, Song Shengfu sighed secretly, saying it was a pity that these talented girls were almost drowned by this era.

Because of her many specialties, Song Shengfu was even thinking of adding a few more subjects to the original categories.

On the day of the girls' school's opening ceremony, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was as blue as a lake, with a few white ripples floating on it.

Song Shengfu stood on the platform, looking at the more than 500 girls below. The short ones stood in the front and the tall ones stood in the back.

Some girls look relatively healthy, while others have sallow complexions and are extremely thin.

The ones who looked better should be Zhuangzi's daughters, while those who were malnourished were mostly refugees.

But Song Shengfu saw the same thing in their eyes.

That's hope!

Amid their excited and expectant gazes, Song Shengfu spoke in an extremely solemn tone.

"Greetings, ladies. I am the seventeenth-generation heir of the Dongyang Duan clan. Blessed by the Emperor of Chu and the generosity of my ancestors, I have been granted the title of Marquis of Great Chu. My presence here with you is a destiny. I often think... the world is narrow, passed down through generations. Women are born with their own strengths. Knitting skills, cooking, and farming all have their own ways. The principles of yin and yang are balanced, with men farming and women weaving, each contributing their strengths. Women are independent and self-reliant, valued in their own right, their place in the world, and their power to make a difference."

"Xunlu Girls' School is grateful for the grace of the Holy Spirit in establishing it at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. From now on, the continuation of this school depends on you. I hope all students will remember the school motto and study hard. I wish you all a smooth journey on your journey."

After Song Shengfu finished speaking, the entire square fell silent.

"This student swears to never forget the grace of God, to remember the school motto, to seek the right path, and to never regret it!"

One of the shortest girls raised her hand. She was so thin that only her bright eyes could be noticed.

The college clothes made her look empty and thin. She was like a rock standing in the wind, swearing here with the most solemn and powerful voice in her life.

"This student swears to never forget the grace of God, to remember the school motto, to seek the right path, and to never regret it!"

"This student swears to never forget the grace of God, to remember the school motto, to seek the right path, and to never regret it!"

"This student swears to never forget the grace of God, to remember the school motto, to seek the right path, and to never regret it!"

What followed was a deafening noise, and the tender voices of more than 500 girls echoed in the square.

Whose eyes are blurred by tears, whose tears have once dripped on this square.

A total of 809 people witnessed its birth in the square, and since then the Xunlu Girls' School began its mysterious and legendary journey.

Its founder, Song Shengfu, left quietly after her speech. She walked slowly in the girls' school with Wei Jie'er, and the guards around her dismissed the irrelevant personnel here.

"Grandma, that scene just now was so beautiful!"

"Yeah, I think it's beautiful too."

Song Shengfu touched Wei Jie'er's head and took her around the girls' school, passing by the scenery along the way one by one.

Finally they reached the main entrance, but there was no one there.

Song Shengfu touched the three-person-high stone tablet carried down from the back of Qingyun Temple, on which were engraved four huge characters "Xunlu Women's School".

"So lovely."

Song Shengfu took Wei Jie'er on the carriage and headed back. On the way, Wei Jie'er looked back with a feeling of lingering regret.

The college is built in a valley, and the female students seem to be held in the palms of a giant's hands.

Xunlu Girls' School has not attracted much attention, but some people have been paying attention to it.

The next morning, Song Shengfu was impeached for her speech that day, and the person who impeached her was naturally Ma Guo.

Now everyone knows that the Ma faction is at odds with the Duan Bo Mansion. The Emperor of Chu is a little annoyed by having to go through this every day, so he just casually says a few words and passes it by.

Did Song Shengfu know that she had the powerful gossip boss Su Dong by her side, so it was hard for her not to know.

But she didn't care at all.

But she didn't say anything, but some people took it to heart.
