Chapter 391: The Girl from Chunfeng Tower
Chapter 391: The Girl from Chunfeng Tower
"Wei An, accompany me to Chunfeng Tower later."
Wei An naturally saw what Xu Jinyu was thinking, raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "You really want a girl from a brothel to take the Tongsheng exam!"
Xu Jinyu sighed.
"This is a last resort. I want to improve the status of women, but you see, the only female officials in the court are me and the official from the Ministry of Works. The rest are all relatives of the emperor. There are no other women officials at all."
"Another thing is that it is not easy for students from women's vocational and technical schools to become officials. Even if they do become officials, they can only enter the Ministry of Industry. Women also need to take the imperial examination, which is the most legitimate way to advance. I have planned to let my sister in this body take the exam, but my sister's experience is not representative."
After hearing what Xu Jinyu said, Wei An understood everything at once.
"If a prostitute can pass the Tongsheng exam, it will have a huge impact on women all over the world. I estimate that more women will take the Tongsheng exam next year."
"I'll go with you!" Wei An said seriously.
Although he was a man, he could not stand the exploitation of women in ancient times, especially his own mother. If the status of women was higher, his mother would not have been killed so silently.
"Okay! Let's go now." Xu Jinyu clapped his hands.
"Now?" Wei An was a little surprised and took a look at the clothes on Xu Jinyu.
Xu Jinyu wore women's clothes today, which was rare for her. If she went to a brothel, someone would report her to Emperor Xuan tomorrow.
As for impeachment, who is crazy enough to impeach Xu Jinyu?
"I have to wear women's clothes to go to the brothel, so that I can prove my identity and make those girls believe me."
"Let's go."
After discussing it, the two of them went directly to the brothel street in the capital.
It was afternoon time now, and the business in the brothel had already started. A girl saw a man and a woman walking in from the street corner, and leaned against the window with great interest: "Young Master, why are you taking a little girl to a brothel? Leave quickly."
Wei An and Xu Jinyu looked up and saw a girl lying on the windowsill with her shoulders half exposed, looking at them with a teasing look on her face.
Wei An couldn't help but blush, but Xu Jinyu didn't blush at all. Instead, she greeted the girl enthusiastically: "Hello, sister. You are so beautiful."
The girl upstairs didn't expect the young master to be shy. On the contrary, the little girl didn't show any shyness at all. "Hey~~ Where did this little girl come from? She's so sweet. What do you want to ask me for?"
"Sister, let's find Chunfeng Tower!"
"Spring Breeze Tower?"
The girl burst into laughter when she heard the name of Chunfeng Tower. There was no particularly famous girl in Chunfeng Tower. The reason why Chunfeng Tower became famous these days was because of another thing.
"You are here to see that fool who wants to take the imperial examination, right?"
Xu Jinyu blinked: Is that girl already so famous on this street?
But Xu Jinyu smiled and said: "We are not here to see her, we are here to take her away."
Hearing this, the woman who had been lazily leaning against the window suddenly sat up, but the next moment she seemed to realize that she had overreacted. She picked up a round fan from the side and fanned it gently, "My lady, Chunhua comes from a scholar family. She asked about the process of the Tongsheng exam just to reminisce about it. She has absolutely no other delusions. Miss, don't be angry."
Xu Jinyu was confused again. Angry? What was she angry about?
I couldn't understand what this girl said.
Xu Jinyu wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Wei An. He whispered to Xu Jinyu, "I guess someone couldn't stand the idea of a brothel girl wanting to take the imperial examination, so they took care of Chunhua."
Xu Jinyu nodded, indicating that he understood.
The emperor had no objection to women taking the imperial examinations, so what was the point of these people's opposition? They didn't dare to complain to the emperor, so they had to deal with a weak person like a brothel girl.
But Xu Jinyu is not afraid of anyone now, so Xu Jinyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister, I am not here to deal with this Miss Chunhua, I am here to take her to take the Tongsheng exam."
After saying that, he lowered his head and glanced at the system, "Sister, I think you have good writing skills, do you want to give it a try?"
Take Chunhua to take the Tongsheng exam!
The girl was stunned for a moment and realized that she was not here to deal with Chunhua.
And he said that he could give it a try. Who is this person to be so arrogant?
Even the girls in brothels couldn't pass the registration test for the status of a student.
Thinking of this, the girl lowered her head and carefully looked at the little girl below. After a moment, the girl let out a light cry and ran down directly from the window.
"Mo Niang greets His Royal Highness Prince An."
"rise!"
Xu Jinyu was a little surprised that Mo Niang could recognize his identity so quickly.
"How did you recognize me?"
Hearing this, Mo Niang gently covered her mouth that was about to burst with laughter with her round fan: "We have a portrait of His Royal Highness Prince An in our building. His Royal Highness Prince An is a person who can scare the guests on the whole street to jump up. The mothers have told us that we must tell her if His Royal Highness Prince An comes."
Mo Niang wanted to laugh when she thought about how everyone knew His Royal Highness Prince An.
No one can forget that chaotic and bustling scene. How could anyone not be interested in a person who could make the gentlemen who came to the brothel run away with their faces covered?
The girls in the brothel watched quite a big show that day.
The girls have never seen the gentlemen jumping off buildings, jumping into rivers, or even hiding under beds to avoid His Royal Highness Prince An.
I've seen all kinds of ugly behaviors of gentlemen.
But afterwards, His Royal Highness Prince An was not punished at all. This incident is enough to show how favored His Royal Highness Prince An is.
Seeing the girl in front of him almost falling down from laughing, Xu Jinyu asked curiously,
"Tell the madam I'm here. What is the madam going to do?"
"Of course, open the back door and let the guests in the building leave." Mo Niang said with a smile.
Xu Jinyu: "That's not necessary. I'm not idle every day and I'm not going to impeach a bunch of perverts."
Wei An: "Ahem... Let's get down to business first!"
In order to avoid being besieged by a group of officials in the court tomorrow, Wei An directly advised Xu Jinyu to leave.
"But·····"
Xu Jinyu also wanted to persuade this Miss Mo Niang to try for the Tongsheng exam. Judging from the system, this Miss Mo Niang's literary talent was not bad.
"Then let Miss Mo Niang lead the way for us. Is Miss Mo Niang willing?"
"Of course you do."
Mo Niang agreed immediately. She also wanted to see whether His Royal Highness Prince An could really bring the girls from the brothel to take the examination for the status of a student.
As for the identity issue, this is not a problem at all under the control of a prince.
With Mo Niang leading the way, Xu Jinyu and Wei An successfully found Chunfeng Tower.
However, they did not go into Chunfeng Tower because there was a large group of people gathered at the entrance of Chunfeng Tower.
The onlookers were still making noises.
"Hit me! Don't you see who you are? You are just a prostitute, yet you still want to take the examination for a student. The imperial examination has always been a man's thing. When did women also dream of taking it?"
"That's right! A prostitute wants to turn her life around by taking the imperial examination. She has already sold her body, and she still wants to get out of it."
·······
These curses were accompanied by the man's laughter.
Some of the girls in the building looked sympathetic, while others simply looked at the woman in the field with sneers on their faces like the men.
The woman was beaten black and blue, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing. She said word by word: "I just want to take the Tongsheng exam. His Majesty the Emperor did not explicitly say that women cannot take the exam. What are you doing?"
The madam of Chunfeng Tower stood high up on the second floor, looking coldly at the beaten girl, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Rumei, if you want to take the Tongsheng exam, you should find a way to redeem yourself first!"
Rumei glanced at the madam and gritted her teeth and said, "I will save money, and I will have enough soon."
A trace of greed flashed across the madam's eyes. "Maybe it's not enough. Your redemption fee has increased now, to one thousand taels of silver. After all, you are a girl with a deep knowledge of poetry and literature, and you are going to take the Tongsheng exam. Of course, your value will increase."
Rumei was panicked for a moment, but still gritted her teeth and said, "I will try my best."
"Then you better hurry up. The Tongsheng exam starts in February every year, and there is less than half a year left until next year's Tongsheng exam."
Rumei: “I…”
"I'll redeem you!"
