Chapter 132: Enrollment in the academy

Chapter 132: Enrollment in the academy
Facing the big opportunity presented by Xie Mingzhu, Xie Xiyue asked in shock, "Aunt, why do you insist on opening an academy?"
This is a question that Xie Xiyue has been pondering.
When others open a private school, it's for the sake of making money. But the private school opened by my little aunt doesn't charge tuition at all, it's like inviting everyone to read books for free.
Xie Mingzhu understood that Xie Xiyue had some difficulty understanding her own thoughts, and she simply said, "Xiyue, not all women are as lucky as you. When something happens to you, you have your parents to support you. But for many girls, their parents will not ask what grievances they have suffered, they will only feel ashamed of them and not inquire about their well-being. Xiyue, have you ever thought about what these women should do to survive in this world if their in-laws cannot accept them and their own families are unwilling to take them in?"
Xiexiyue never thought that Xie Mingzhu would say such words, and she actually knows better than anyone that she is indeed very lucky.
It is precisely because she is lucky that she feels how precious her happiness is now.
Xie Mingzhu took a deep breath and continued, "These women, if they want to survive, can only swallow their pride and beg, rely on men, or even become available to anyone. Are they willing? If someone gives them another way out, even if they are in a predicament, they have the ability to support themselves."
"I hope that the girls who come out of my academy have the confidence to support themselves after marriage. They can choose to get married or choose not to. When their husbands betray them, they can also choose to break away from them! Xiyue, in a person's lifetime, there will always be many important choices. I don't know what choices others will make, but I want to give these girls an opportunity to choose."
Shi Xi Yue is a person who has suffered. When she was wrapped in a grass mat and thrown outside the Xie family ancestral hall, Shi Xi Yue felt doomed.
After narrowly escaping death, she realized how lucky she was.
She is also very aware that her luck is not because of her great ability, but because her parents are her last refuge.
But Xie Xiyue is also very aware that not all women have her luck.
Most women don't have this opportunity.
They are homeless!
No, to be precise, women are without a home after marriage.
In their maternal homes, they are guests.
In the husband's family, she is an outsider.
They don't have a home that truly belongs to them.
"Xiyue, I hope the girls in my academy can live freely and boldly, with the courage to start over anytime, anywhere! This is the original intention of establishing the academy!"
Xiexiyue is slightly older than Xiemingzhu, and the only reason she is called "Xiaogugu" is because of her seniority.
Xiexiyue took a deep breath and said, "However, being literate alone cannot change anything!"
"Yes, it's true that only being able to read can help them, at most, when their husbands or others trick them into signing contracts to sell themselves, they realize that they are signing away their own rights. So, the most important function of being able to read is to make them understand, to break free from the shackles imposed by society, and to allow them to see a different world through words."
Every word spoken by Xie Mingzhu seems to open the door to a new world for Xie Xiyue.
"I don't just want them to learn how to read, I also want to teach them martial arts. Firstly, it can help strengthen their bodies and keep them healthy. Secondly, I hope that if someone were to attack them, they wouldn't be defenseless."
"The most important thing is to teach them the skill of making money. As long as women can earn money with their own hands, then they have nothing to be afraid of!"
"Money can solve ninety-nine percent of the troubles in this world!"
谢溪月听见谢明珠这么说，温声问道：“小姑姑，按着你的设想，这件事不是那么容易完成的。”
“是，我知道，不容易，但怕什么，我们做出我们的改变，我们还有后辈，我们的后辈会做出她们的改变，一代一代人的努力，终有一天，我们女人也可以拜相封侯，我们女人也可以光明正大的出入朝堂，我们女人也可以提枪杀敌，我们女人也可以和男人一样做任何事。”
Xie Xiyue's eyes were slightly tinged with a faint crimson.
She never expected Xie Mingzhu to have such a grand aspiration.
"Xiyue, this is difficult, maybe even beyond what our generation can achieve, but all we can do now is to tell these girls that a girl's ultimate destination is not to get married, but to have the ability to settle and establish themselves in this era. If you go to the Mingzhu Academy, I will provide you with monthly funds according to what Lady asked for. You can save up this money."
"In winter, we will rebuild the academy in the back mountain. The ultimate goal of rebuilding the academy is to expand it. I believe that as long as there is sufficient incentive, the villagers nearby will be willing to send their daughters here to study."
"By then, I will specifically reserve an area to build a residential area for Confucius' family at the academy."
"What do you think? Would you consider coming to teach at my Mingzhu Academy?"
Xie Xiyue didn't even think about it, just said seriously, "I'll do it."
Sure!" "
Xie Mingzhu took Xie Xiyue into Mingzhu Academy.
Qin Che happened to finish class.
"Qin Che, come, write a letter of proposal to Xie Xiyue."
At this time, Xie Xiyue had no idea that her appointment letter was personally written by the Crown Prince.
Qin Che did not ask why, but simply followed the typical procedure of hiring Master Cui to appoint Xie Xiyue.
Xie Xiyue held the job offer and felt a little dizzy.
"As for your living arrangements, you can consider whether to move into the dormitory or continue living at home. If you choose to live at home, I will add a little bit to your monthly salary as a housing allowance."
Xie Xiyue considered for a moment and said, "I'll go back and ask my parents first."
"Okay, then come over at noon and we'll have a brief meeting in our academy."
Xie Xiyue responded, "Alright."
After morning classes ended, the children all went home.
Xie Jinshu, the daughter of Xie Xiyue, stayed behind with Xie Zhiqin and Xie Zhiqi to play.
Xie Mingzhu found Cui Yu and Auntie, first explaining that she was preparing for Auntie and Auntie to become specialized teachers at Mingzhu Academy.
Aunt Yu's cooking skills are good and she can teach cooking.
On the other hand, Xie Mingzhu has found that the nanny has a great sense of management and she can teach the girls how to manage.
Girls will eventually get married, and after marriage, they need to learn about social interactions and such.
Mama was shocked and exclaimed, "Mr. Xie, can I really become a scholar like you?"
"Yes, I saw how neatly you arranged the storage room, with everything properly categorized."
Mama blushed and said, "I just tidied up casually."
After serving as a maid for so many years, Mama never expected that one day she could become someone else's master.
"Mama, would you like to?"
