Near the Qinhuai River, in a small and unique house.

Bian Yulou said in confusion: "We have managed the pleasure boat well on this Qinhuai River. Why do my sister want to be the female teacher in the elementary school?"

Bian Yujing was trying on clothes in front of a half-body glass mirror in the house - this is a women's Confucian blouse that can show a woman's identity. It became popular in Yingtianfu last year.

She heard this and said, "Yulou, our business is full of youth, and my sister is already twenty-four.

Besides, haven’t you noticed that since our comeback in Qinhuai, the ten people who have supported us have been the ones who have had a good relationship with us in the past.

In addition, at the end of last year, several tabloids privately commented on the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, but you and my sister were not among them.

I know all the eight people listed, but none of them are over 18 years old.

And you are eighteen years old this year? Think about it carefully, how many years can we eat this bowl of rice?"

Bian Yulou frowned when he heard this, pondered for a while, and said, "Sister, if we feel that we are old and cannot maintain the operation of the pleasure boat, we can buy a few children to train us."

Even Chuxue and Chuqing are of good qualifications. Although they are fourteen or fifteen years old, they believe that they can make them famous by their sister's means.

No matter what, we always do the business of Qinhuai Huafang, and we do the job of a female primary school teacher. Not to mention that the public opinion is so popular that Yuefeng is only a few taels of silver. How can we spend money to maintain our daily expenses?

”

Chuxue and Chuqing are the maids of the two. They served the sisters when they were seven or eight years old. Now they have been six or seven years old. They originally had the idea of ​​being a "successor".

However, in the eyes of Bian Yulou, these two maids are still quite different in appearance and talent. Even if they enter the industry, they have become ordinary brothel geisha and are difficult to become famous.

Bian Yulou felt that it was meaningless to train two ordinary geishas and it was difficult to get a good income.

Of course, if there is no other change and the two maids are willing, she will eventually let the two enter the industry, just as Bian Yulou said, before they train newcomers for a while.

but···

"Yulou, if it were before, your ideas might not be impossible. However, when I found out about Liu Mei, I knew that our work might not last long."

"What news?" Bian Yulou showed curiosity.

"The Emperor may ban brothels and other places of eternity."

This sentence is like a shocking moment for Bian Yulou.

She said in a lost voice: "What? How is this possible? Throughout history, I have never heard of any dynasty that would ban the wind and moon...Well!"

Before Bian Yulou could finish his speech, Bian Yujing covered his mouth.

Bian Yujing said with a serious look on his face: "This matter is a secret I found from Liu Mei. She speculated, and I speculated from her words.

How can we afford to hear the news?”

Bian Yulou looked outside the house in fear when he heard this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the maids were not there.

He came back and whispered: "What my sister said is so incredible, I don't believe it."

Bian Yujing sighed helplessly and said, "If you heard that there would be a princess as the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, would you also feel that it was even more ancient and incredible?"

Bian Yulou was speechless for a moment.

Bian Yujing said again: "I was just a little speculation about this matter, but when the "Da Ming Pao" came out, the article in the political section said that it was necessary to liberate women's wisdom and strength. I knew that the emperor wanted to ban brothels and other places of love and miserable things.

It's almost the same as everyone else."

Bian Yulou also read the article about the wisdom and power of the liberated women written by Liu Shuying. He couldn't help but say, "What's the relationship between the liberated women and the place where Feng Yue is banned?"

Bian Yujing said patiently: "If the court really wants to liberate women, it will definitely try to improve the status of women. Not to mention waiting for men, at least it will not be as big as the gap now.

Whether it is those who sell themselves or our geisha, they are all low-key karmas for people to entertain people through sex. If they still exist in the world so openly, wouldn’t it greatly affect the reputation of women? In this way, how can a woman’s status be improved?”

Bian Yulou thought about it carefully and found that Bian Yujing was indeed right.

She thought to herself that if she could dominate the world, she would probably not allow women to do such a business - this would really be a disgrace to a woman's reputation.

If the court implements this policy, it may be difficult to ban secret prostitution, but if you want to run brothels and pleasure boats so openly, you may not be able to do it.

Thinking of this, Bian Yulou panicked and said, "If so, how can we live in the future?"

Bian Yujing took Bian Yulou's hand, comforted him for a while, and smiled and said, "We are not unable to survive if we leave this career - if you don't want to do things, you can find a gentleman or a rich businessman as a concubine, or a wealthy civilian as a wife.

It's OK.

If you are not in a hurry to get married, or if you are not good at choosing a good job for a while, you can apply for the primary school girl like your sister and try it out first.

I think the position in this elementary school can also be promoted. Maybe we can become officials like those willow eyebrows in the future."

Bian Yulou hesitated after hearing this, "But after all, I was born in a brothel, how could I be allowed to be a teacher?"

Bian Yujing said, "Was Liu Mei also born in a brothel? Now she is an official, so we are just a teacher. What's wrong with it? Even if we don't help, we have to try it?"

"Okay, I'll try it with my sister." Bian Yulou was finally convinced.

The notices of recruiting men and women teachers in various counties in Yingtianfu have been posted on various notice boards in Nanjing City with the release of the "Da Ming Pao" yesterday.

Bian Yujing went to see it specially and knew that the matter of recruiting primary school teachers was responsible for each county.

Both sisters wore women's Confucian blouses, tied a bun, and brought their maids to the outside of the county school in Jiangning County. They found that not only were there a large group of scholars surrounded by the wall where the notice was posted, but there were even one or two rows outside the gate of the county school.

Team of ten people.

This made both sisters nervous.

"Sister, these people are not all here to apply for elementary school teachers, right? How can we apply for the job like this?" Bian Yulou, who was not confident at first, was even less confident.

Moreover, there are no other women here except them.

Bian Yulou was also nervous and nervous, but he said firmly: "How can you know if you can't apply for the job if you haven't tried it?"

She immediately took her maid Chuxue to the notice wall, preparing to see what those scholars were looking at and whether it was related to the recruitment of teachers in primary school.

"My brothers, please give me a message?" Bian Yujing could not enter, so he could only speak out.

Fortunately, the onlookers were not talking loudly. As soon as they heard the woman's voice, several people turned around in front of them.

Seeing that it was indeed a woman in a Confucian shirt, her expression became strange.

One of them asked: "Is it because the girl is here to apply for a primary school teacher?"

Bian Yujing bowed and said, "That's right, I wonder if the notice you are looking at is related to this matter?"

The man smiled and said, "Naturally related."

Then he shouted loudly: "My friends have asked for the bottom lane, someone has come to apply for a female husband!"

The man's tone was joking, but he didn't have much malice.

Bian Yujing didn't care.

When everyone made way, she walked in under all kinds of strange gazes and finally saw the content on the notice.

It is indeed related to the requirements for recruiting teachers in primary schools.

The above states that the three-year voluntary primary school implemented by Yingtianfu will offer three main courses and three secondary courses.

The main courses are: Chinese, mathematics, and nature.

The secondary courses are: sports, labor, and art.

Anyone who applies for a primary school teacher must meet the following requirements—

First, the age must be over 16 years old and under 60 years old.

Second, you must have no record of illegal crimes.

Third, you need to be able to learn the main course contents by yourself based on primary school textbooks.

Fourth, you need to be able to teach a secondary course according to the textbook.

After reading the notice, Bian Yujing was stunned.

What classes are taught in this elementary school?

She originally thought that even if she did not study the Four Books and Five Classics in elementary school, she should learn elementary books such as Thousand Characters, Hundred Family Names, and Enhanced Virtues.

But why are these?

Chinese may be related to literature. Shouldn’t mathematics wait for children to learn to read and learn to understand literacy and at least become scholars before studying it?

As for nature, sports, labor, art, and meaning, she can roughly understand it, but apart from art, how can other subjects become content for children to learn?

At this time, the scholar who had previously shouted and helped Bian Yulou open the road and asked with a smile: "What, the girl is scared by the recruitment request of this elementary school teacher?"
