Chapter 940 Jia Rong: Who says women are inferior to men

Girls in the house were as guarded against Jia Baoyu as they were guarded against thieves, let alone girls from relatives' families, it was like guarding against savage beasts.

The girl's family's reputation cannot withstand such a torment from him.

Xue Baochai used to go to Rongfu with her mother, but since the incident with Jia Baoyu, she has never gone there again.

When Mrs. Wang asked, Aunt Xue only said that she was busy with something and couldn't leave her body for a while.

If it weren't for the fact that Ningfu Girls' School was right next door and Xue Baochai had to go to school on time every day, it would be easy for Mrs. Wang to pry. She would have used the excuse of being ill.

In fact, Aunt Xue did not really deal with Mrs. Wang. Xue Baochai was really busy recently.

Uncle Xue wanted to take Xue Pan to run the ship, and Xue Baochai had to personally take charge of other matters. There were some things that simply could not be done by others.

The port in Tianjin is going to be built, and it requires building materials and supplies, which is definitely a big business.

That's right, Wang Ziteng handed over the supply of materials for building the port to the Xue family.

What does it mean to keep the wealth from flowing to outsiders? This is it.

If the Wang family didn't have the Xue family's material allocation and supply capabilities, such a good thing wouldn't be the Xue family's turn.

Of course, for the Xue family to receive such benefits, the price they have to pay is not small.

Uncle Xue and Xue Pan had other tasks, so the burden of arranging supplies and supplying other things for the Xue family could only fall on Xue Baochai.

As for Aunt Xue, forget it.

Xue Baochai was full of fighting spirit and immediately summoned the old shopkeepers and old accountants of the Xue family to make a rough dispatch plan for Jinmen's material supply.

It's just a pity that she overestimated her own influence and underestimated the traditional thinking of this era, which restricted women.

The old shopkeeper and old accountant of the Xue family were not very cooperative.

Privately, they also passed their ideas to Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai through secret channels.

The person who makes the decision in the Xue family is the patriarch Xue Pan, or Uncle Xue can step in. How can He De, a woman like Xue Baochai who has not yet reached the age of hairpins, be able to take charge of the power of the Xue family?

In this way, Xue Baochai could not be cured.

She was very high-spirited, and naturally she would not just give up because of such a slight setback. After all, it was an important business of the Xue family, and the interests involved were probably worth millions of taels.

It was at this time that the women's studies course helped her a lot.

For some reason, Ningfu Girls' School actually took the newly built port in Jinmen as an important practical course.

Many female students with excellent academic performance or unique talents were summoned by the mountain chief Jia Min to conduct sand table operations specifically for the planning and construction of the Jinmen New Port.

This course was personally guided by the mountain chief Jia Min. Based on the proportional sand table model, a group of female students used their talents to perfect the planning of the new port.

According to the mountain chief, if their plan is reasonable enough, some facilities at Jinmen Port will be built according to their plan.

Such news shocked a group of female students, and at the same time ignited their enthusiasm.

One by one, they actively read books and materials about urban construction and construction. At the same time, based on their own understanding of urban ports, they kept imitating designs on simpler sand tables, hoping to turn their ideas into actual facilities.

Sanchun, Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu, and a number of outstanding students from the Women's School, including some gentlemen, participated.

In the past, men would settle matters like this with one word. When had a woman ever intervened?

No matter what the mountain chief Jia Min said, if their design is fully reasonable and whether it will be used in the construction of Jinmen Port, it cannot stop their enthusiasm for it.

If the defenders outside knew about it, it would definitely cause an uproar.

However, the Ning Mansion Women's School is a system of its own, and the outside world does not know the internal situation of the women's school at all, so naturally there will be no rumors and rumors deliberately targeting it.

The Ning Mansion is not the Rong Mansion. It is very sensitive to outside news and also actively collects it. All relevant market rumors and information can be passed to Jia Rong's ears as soon as possible. The purpose is naturally to be able to report things as soon as possible.

React.

If someone encounters rumors and deliberately slanders him, once the Ning Mansion notices it and finds out the clues, he will naturally use thunderous means to deal with it.

Just like the gambling den run by Zhongzhonghou Mansion that he encountered last time, Jia Rong was not stingy at all in showing off his dandy tricks, and he really didn't believe that others could outplay him.

But Fan Ningfu Zhanli is not afraid of making matters worse.

This issue of women's education was naturally promoted by Jia Rong.

The purpose is also very simple, that is, I hope to give full play to the intelligence and talents of female students and see what their level is.

This is the world of the Red Mansion. The girls from Ning Rong's second mansion take up almost half of the fortune in the mansion and don't give the gentlemen many opportunities.

The Jia clan in the capital is prospering day by day, and members of the side clans appear from time to time.

Not long ago, in the autumn of Wei, a scholar from a branch of the clan passed the imperial examination, and the entire clan held a flowing banquet for the whole day.

On the other hand, Ning Rong's Second Mansion still has the same old faces struggling to support it.

I won’t talk about the old ones, just a political second master fishing in the officialdom.

The younger generation is sparse, and whether it is Jia Zhu, Lian Er, or Jia Qiang, it will take at least ten years of hard work to reach a high position.

As for the younger ones, they are still far away from their prime. They can’t even think about it in less than five years.

Naturally, Jia Rong would not stick to the rules. He was quite optimistic about the girls from Ning Rong's second house.

Regardless of luck, just in terms of academic talent, except for Jia Baoyu, there is no one of the same age in the two houses who is the opponent of Sanchun and others.

Because there is no need to bother studying Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, girls can spend more time studying other miscellaneous subjects.

In the words of the mountain chief Jia Min, their learning progress has been rapid. Despite their young age, Xue Baochai, the eldest, is not even hairpin-haired, but his knowledge in miscellaneous knowledge is quite extraordinary.

He has dabbled in medicine, divination, astrology, agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry, and mechanical numerology. Some of them have studied and researched quite deeply, and they have quite a lot of knowledge.

Even the maids around them are full of spirituality and talented in academics. If they are well cultivated, it is not that difficult to reach the level of female school teachers.

After hearing Jia Min's praise, Jia Rong naturally would not rest on his laurels, and wanted to give full play to the girls' academic abilities and help the family share part of the work.

Especially Lin Daiyu, Sanchun, as well as Shi Xiangyun and other Jinling Twelve Hairpins. Their origins are quite extraordinary. If they make good use of their own abilities, they may bring different surprises to Jia Rong...
