Chapter 109 Swinging
The female guard was stunned. She didn't expect Zhu Yu to ask her like this. Could it be that Zhu Yu saw through her recent thoughts? She really didn't want to follow Liu Yinyin anymore. She didn't want to be trapped by Liu Yinyin's side for the rest of her life. She didn't know when she would be dragged out by her to die for her. Moreover, she didn't know if it was her own problem. She just looked down upon the things Liu Yinyin did every day. Maybe it was because they were in different positions. She preferred to take revenge herself. If she couldn't, she would just admit it. She would chase the man she liked openly. If she missed him, she would have to admit it. People always have to do other things. If it were her, she would choose to live her own life with the things given by Prince Jing, and not fight for some illusory favor. What's the use? People's hearts are the most difficult to control.
"Miss Zhu, I have no such intention." The female guard stood with her head bowed. Her tight clothes outlined her figure perfectly, and the sword on her waist added a bit of heroism. After all, not everything can be said to outsiders, not to mention that Zhu Yu is still the rival of her current master for the time being. Zhu Yu was a little disappointed and sighed softly. The brocade clothes on her body swayed gently with her movements, as beautiful as a blooming flower: "What a pity..." There was a light in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something important.
The female guard frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Miss Zhu, what do you mean?"
Zhu Yu thought about it and thought it wouldn't be a big deal to tell her something, so he smiled and explained, "I have always had an idea to open a women's college so that more girls can receive education and learn knowledge and skills. However, I am currently lacking an excellent martial arts master to teach students martial arts." At this point, Zhu Yu paused and observed the reaction of the female guard. Other masters are easy to find, but this martial arts master must be a woman, have superb martial arts skills, and have a slightly lower status, who can understand the difficulties of women at the bottom and teach them sincerely.
The female guard's heart moved. She originally had a strong interest and talent in martial arts. If she could become a martial arts master of a female school, she could not only teach what she had learned, but also help more girls become stronger. It was indeed suitable for her, much better than following Liu Yinyin. However, she also knew the possible risks and difficulties. After all, Zhu Yu had a special identity and was on the opposite side of his master. Once involved, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Despite this, the female guard was still moved by Zhu Yu's ideals and determination. She decided to understand the specific situation before making a decision, so she asked softly: "Miss Zhu, what are your requirements for this martial arts master? What kind of conditions and abilities are required?"
Zhu Yu smiled and said firmly, "First of all, she must have superb martial arts and rich teaching experience. Secondly, it is best if she is a woman, so that it is easier to communicate with students. Most importantly, she must have a heart that loves education and cares about the growth of students. Of course, it would be even better if she can have some unique teaching methods and concepts. I wonder if you know such a person?"
The female guard hesitated, lowered her head and thought for a moment before answering, "Ms. Zhu, I do have some ideas about the right person. However, this matter is of great importance, and I need time to think about it. In addition, with all due respect, it is not easy to establish a girls' school, and you may face various challenges and obstacles. Are you fully prepared?"
Zhu Yu nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "I understand the difficulties, but I believe that as long as we have faith and work hard, we will be able to overcome all difficulties. Moreover, I already have a preliminary plan and ideas, and I have also received support and help from some friends, including but not limited to Prince Jing. I believe that as long as we work together, this girls' school will be successfully opened!"
Seeing Zhu Yu's confident look, the female guard couldn't help but be moved. Perhaps, this is really something worth trying...
However, the female guard had heard of some academies for women in wealthy families, but they only taught the ladies of noble families skills such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. Very few people would teach them martial arts knowledge on a large scale. As for why Zhu Yu wanted to add such a special course in the women's school, the female guard still had doubts in her heart, fearing that it was just a whim, so she ignored it afterwards: "Miss Zhu, in my opinion, given our current situation, women studying martial arts is not the mainstream of society. May I ask why you want to add this skill to the women's school you run?"
Zhu Yu gently moved the pearls on her head, and the simple beads swayed slightly in her hair. She didn't look like a lady from a noble family. However, her eyes were very firm and passionate, and she said slowly: "I hope to give girls in girls' schools more choices about their future. It's too passive to regard marriage as the only way out. Of course, this doesn't mean that marriage is bad, but it is always more beneficial to have more choices."
"I have never thought that there is anything wrong with girls getting married and having children. I even think that this is what many girls dream of - it is really beautiful for two people who are in love to get married. However, living in this era, women's social status and right to choose are quite limited. Most women can only hope to find a suitable husband and be a virtuous wife and competent mother after marriage. As for their own talents and ambitions, they are often neglected or even suppressed.
Of course, this is not to say that there is anything wrong with getting married, but everyone has their own aspirations, and not every woman is only suitable for getting married. Some women are thoughtful and can not only manage housework, but also manage shops; some are good at dealing with people and are very good at doing business; some have a talent for medicine, or are very smart... It would be a pity if such talents were buried due to gender restrictions. In her opinion, regardless of gender, anyone with the will and ability should show their strengths. This is by no means to provoke opposition between men and women, nor is it a blind pursuit of women's rights, but to allow everyone to shine in the field that suits them.
Moreover, there are many women who are stuck in the quagmire of marriage. Their fate is so tragic that it makes people feel pity. If I can, I want to do my best to help them. "
Otherwise, as a time-traveling woman, does she really have to eat, drink and have fun all day and waste her time? Of course, there is nothing wrong with enjoying life, but she always feels that life must have some value and meaning, right? She knows that she is not a savior, but she believes that with her own conditions, she can do what she can for these women, and that is enough.
She bit her lip lightly, as if to cheer herself up. "I know this road is full of thorns and will not be smooth, but I am willing to work hard for it. I firmly believe that as long as women are given more opportunities and choices, they will be able to show their potential and create their own brilliant life, rather than being buried and trapped in the mud."
Zhu Yu's eyes were full of determination, and she clenched her fists tightly, as if announcing her determination to the world. She wanted to make the girls' school a sacred place to cultivate the independent spirit of women, so that every woman who stepped into it could find her own value and life direction.
The female guard was moved but also felt disappointed. A stranger like Zhu Yu would consider the future of the students if he wanted to open a girls' school, so that they could have other options besides getting married. However, her mother seemed to be just training a loyal dog for the Liu family from the beginning.
She suddenly wanted to hear what Zhu Yu thought about this matter.
"Miss Zhu, I have a friend." The female guard looked at Zhu Yu and said softly.
Outside the tent, the flags rustled in the wind, and the wind blew in from the small window on the tent, making the hem of the female guard's clothes sway in the wind.
Zhu Yu smiled slightly, without a trace of impatience, nodded, and said, "Well, go ahead."
The female guard's heart warmed, and she continued, "Her mother was very strict with her. She taught her from a young age to be loyal to the family that saved her and her mother, and to make unconditional sacrifices for that family."
