She did not want to open just one. She wanted to open one in every city.
According to the current number of cities in Great Chang, this was not a small project.
Hearing Ah Yu’s naive words, Qin Huai was caught between laughter and tears.
Opening so many private academies? That was impossible!
Not to mention how expensive this was, even if the Wang Family could earn so much money in the future and recruit so many women to study, there would definitely be people stopping them.
Even if the Emperor and Empress agreed to let them open the academy, they would be blocked by many people.
“Big Brother Ah You, do you think my wish can be fulfilled?’” Ah Yu’s eyes seemed to be filled with stars. The little girl had a smile on her face as she looked at him with curved eyes. Her longing gaze was like the river of stars. “I wish more girls could walk out of their village, out of town, and out of their city like me. Even if they still have to return to their families in the end and get married and have children, they’ve read the books of the Saints and seen the beautiful rivers and mountains. It will definitely be different, right?1‘
Qin Huai could no longer say the words that came to his mouth.
He could not coax Ah Yu like he was coaxing a child and say that her wish would definitely be fulfilled.
Hence, Qin Huai nodded and let Ah Yu continue chattering.
At this moment, they had already walked onto a bustling street. The shops along the street were spread out like flowing water. In rhe alley that was specially designated for small stalls, the sound of hawkers was endless. There were even more stalls than people walking.
It was like a city shrouded in prosperity and wealth. This was a direct reflection of the benefits that the surrounding cities had received after the prefecture became more and more prosperous.
All kinds of cases happened in Linkong City every day, and there were even murders every once in a while. However, to the commoners living in the city, this was just a topic of conversation after tea and dinner. It could not affect them at all.
People came and went on the streets. Some drove carriages, some rode donkey carts, some walked silently, and some ran in a hurry.
More than half of these people were men, and there were only a few women. Even if they were women, they were either dressed in rough clothes with patches, or silk. The maids and servants followed behind them.
The hierarchy of status was clearly differentiated.
As for the more ordinary women who did not starve or have riches, it was very rare to see them.
They were the ones Ah Yu wanted to see, right?
“Ah Yu,” Qin Huai called out to her.
Ah Yu had already stopped talking. She was attracted by a fire – spitting street performance at the side and turned around.
The blaze of the fire seemed to reflect on the side of her face.
“I’ll try my best to help you fulfill your wish,1‘ Qin Huai promised seriously.
Ah Yu grinned and raised her chin. She was very confident. “Of course. Who am I? I’m the most powerful Ah Yu! ”
The story Meatbail told her the day before yesterday said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
She was still young, but she had been growing up. Everyone said that she was smart and hardworking. They said that if she was a man, she would definitely have a bright future.
However, she liked her identity as a woman. She liked beautiful clothes and beautiful scenery. She also liked the books of the Sages, the art of war, and strategy. She liked everything!
If there was something wrong with her female identity, she would step over it and never crouch under to dodge the problem.
If one person stepped over, more people would step over. As time passed, the hole below would be blocked by the obstacles above, and the obstacles on rhe path would smoothen into roads.
How beautiful was that.
If anyone else heard this, they would definitely laugh at her. “Ignorant fool.”
Then, Ah Yu might not be so motivated.
But Meatball said, “Kid, you’re so awesome. You will definitely be able to do it.”
Old Madam Wang also wrote in her letter, “Ah Yu, don’t worry. Grandma will help you.”
Ah Yu was filled with confidence.
Now that Qin Huai had also said so, what reason did Ah Yu have not to be confident?
Hence, after they had lunch outside and walked around to buy a carriage of things, they returned to the house. Both sides were shocked when they traded their news.
Wang Wulang was the first to say, “Heavens, you don’t know this, but we caught a big fish! It turns out that Foul Wind Pavilion actually had two factions. One was to infiltrate into the officials’ circle, but it has been eliminated. The other faction was formed by collaboration between individuals from the martial world and external forces. The one we have captured is their leader!”
This was really shocking news. They did not expect Wang Wulang to say it so casually.
Ah Yu was not very interested in this, so she took out a key and handed it to Wang Wulang. “Fifth Brother, it’s almost your birthday. I’ll give you a birthday gift”
Wang Wulang held the key and looked at it. ‘What is this?”
“When we were shopping, we saw an escort company for sale, so we bought it.” Ah Yu grinned. “Didn’t you want to be a general? Big Brother Ah You said that it’s good to have an escort company to practice with first.”
WangWulang: “!!!”
The key in his hand suddenly felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Good Lord, how much was this!
If the people at home found out that Little Sister Ah Yu had spent so much money on him, would he still be able to keep his butt when he returned home?
Seeing this scene, Wang Sanlang and Wang Qilang also recovered from the information they had previously received. For a moment, they felt a mix of a bit of envy and sympathy.
They were not jealous. Little Sister Ah Yu could use her money however she wanted.
Just like the money in their hands, the elders had long stopped asking about it.
Unexpectedly, Ah Yu opened her palm again. There were two more keys lying on it.
“Third Brother, Seventh Brother, although your birthday hasn’t arrived yet,—”
Unexpectedly, before Ah Yu could finish speaking, Wang Sanlang and Wang Qilang took a big step back.
Wait, wait.. They did not dare to accept Little Sister Ah Yu’s gift!
