The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

Chapter 365 Farce in the Zhou Mansion

The news that Xie Yiyao was recruiting female officials was not only announced in Yanjing, but she also sent messengers to deliver the information to all parts of the country at full speed, even Lin Yue was not spared.

Anyway, Linyue is now a vassal state of Da Deng, so she will not miss Linyue. It's just a pity that the man who caused her to travel through time is in charge of Lu State, and she can't openly go to that man's territory to recruit people.

Today is the first day of posting notices. Xie Yiyao is looking at some registration rosters in her hands. What disappoints her is that most of the people who register are men. There are not many people who register, only about 40 people.

Yes, there were not many people who could read and write in this era, and those who knew mathematics were even fewer, so the number of people who met the requirements was even smaller. It was already very good to have more than 40 people.

However, among these more than 40 people, there were only five women's names, and three of them were people she hated.

Isn’t Xie Jinyue the second daughter of the Xie family who looked down on her when she first entered the Xie family with her mother?

And isn’t Su Shuyue the younger sister of the heroine Su Yunyi?

And Lin Qingjin, she almost forgot about this person!

And Song Nanzhu is equally unpopular. Is there no one left in this aristocratic family in the capital? Why are there only these few unlucky guys who come to sign up!

Hey! Xie Yiyao let out a long sigh!

This made her realize that improving the status of women in this era cannot be achieved overnight.

However, she believes that with this group of female officials, there will be more and more female officials in the future, and women's voice will become greater and greater!

The number of applicants on the second day was even smaller, with only about 30 people. Xie Yiyao sighed continuously as she looked at the sparse names of several women.

Suddenly she looked at a name and was stunned, Gu Yunke?

Why does this name look so familiar?

Xie Yiyao thought about it and finally remembered, isn't this the niece of her grandfather?

She should have been married and had children a long time ago. Xie Yiyao remembered that it was because of her grandfather that Gu Yunke married the legitimate son of a sixth-rank official. When they got married, they came to the capital to kowtow to her grandfather.

Why is she signing up to be a female official?

However, Xie Yiyao was still relieved. It would be great if all the women in Da Deng had the courage and determination of Gu Yunke.

Although she was relieved, she would not give Gu Yunke the green light if he did not have real talent and knowledge.

Grandfather's temporary softness towards Gu Yunke does not mean that she will treat Gu Yunke as a relative. In her eyes, she has no relatives in Dadeng except the Gu family and the Xie family.

Xie Yiyao originally planned to recruit 20 female officials in Yanjing City and 40 female officials in other places, but looking at the list of less than ten women on the roster, Xie Yiyao sighed repeatedly.

Everything had gone smoothly for her since she came to this ancient time, but she didn't expect to encounter setbacks in recruiting female officials!

"Miss! Miss! Oh no! Something happened!"

Nan Xu ran over like the wind, with sweat on his forehead!

Although Xie Yiyao is already the queen, they still call her Miss Xie Yiyao in private.

"What happened? Did the sky fall?"

Xie Yiyao looked at the roster in her hand, feeling very unhappy, and spoke weakly.

"Little...Little...Miss, the eldest daughter of Lord Zhou's family broke her leg after jumping over the wall!"

Nan Xu was running out of breath, holding his chest and talking while gasping for breath.

"She broke her leg, what does it have to do with me? It wasn't me who asked her to jump over the wall."

Xie Yiyao still couldn't muster up interest.

Ok? !

"Jump over the wall? Why would she jump over the wall?"

Xie Yiyao suddenly seemed to have grasped something. She sat up straight and asked Nan Xu with curiosity.

"It's all about signing up for the female officer!"

"It's all right now! Zhou Nianchu refused to return to the Zhou Mansion and threatened to die outside the Zhou Mansion in order to see you."

"Miss, the world has already been quite critical of you recruiting female officials, and now it has caused such a big commotion. Some officials have already written to impeach you for women interfering in government!"

Since ancient times, the official system has never allowed women to serve as officials. In the eyes of many scholars, books are sacred things, and women are filthy and unworthy of reading and writing.

Therefore, Xie Yiyao's open recruitment of female officials made many aristocratic families and officials dissatisfied, but they had never found a reason to make trouble. Now that they finally seized the opportunity, they will definitely not give up.

After hearing what Nan Xu said, Xie Yiyao's eyes suddenly widened:

"Ridiculous! Women are filthy, and these creatures that crawled out of women's bellies are even filthier!"

"Let's go! Let's go check it out!"

Xie Yiyao changed her laziness and depression, stood up energetically and prepared to go out!

She just loves fun!

Nan Xu said anxiously:

"Miss, since ancient times, it has been a serious crime for women to interfere in politics. You should go and discuss this with the emperor first!"

Nan Xu was worried that her young lady would be labeled as a scourge to the country by those cunning civil officials. Since ancient times, scourge to the country by scourges have never had a good ending!

"If Feng Junyi is as conservative as them, she won't be the queen anymore. Whoever wants to be the queen can be the queen!"

Xie Yiyao rushed out with big strides while shouting, and then turned around and hit a wall with a bang.

Uh, it's a person!

Feng Junyi looked at the furry little ball that rushed into his arms with a funny face:

"Why does the Queen want to resign?"

Xie Yiyao rubbed her sore nose, and tears welled up in her eyes due to the pain:

"Your muscles are getting harder!"

Feng Junyi ignored Xie Yiyao's complaints and took Xie Yiyao's hand:

"Let's go, I'll go with you."

"Aren't you busy reading the impeachment papers against me?"

Xie Yiyao had a look of dissatisfaction on her face. These old-fashioned people were usually incompetent at anything, but they would always be the first to speak out when something objected!

"I have already prepared to replace those mediocre and pedantic people. Let them make trouble! I just saw that those people have conservative ideas and cannot accept new things. I will find a reason to replace them after the scientific expedition is over next year."

Feng Junyi rubbed his brows. He had been annoyed by these stubborn people these days!

Upon hearing this, Xie Yiyao happily followed Feng Junyi. As soon as they arrived at Zhou Mansion, they saw a lot of people gathered outside the gate.

Zhou Nianchu's legs were tilted in a strange position, and it was obvious that her bones were dislocated. At this moment, her face was pale and she was hugging a tree and refused to let anyone get close to her!

"If women were to become officials, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Why would a noble lady like you be so rebellious?"

Lord Zhou looked deeply distressed.

Zhou Nianchu was his most beloved granddaughter. He had high hopes for this granddaughter and was counting on her to marry into a good family to consolidate the Zhou family's power. But now all of this was ruined by her jumping!

That noble family would want such a rebellious daughter-in-law!

"Grandfather, you often regret that I am a girl and cannot continue the glory of the Zhou family. Now there is such a good opportunity, why don't you want me to be an official?"

Zhou Nianchu's face was full of despair. She tried every possible way and waited for three days before finally meeting her grandfather. Unexpectedly, her grandfather, whom she always thought would agree with her application for the position of female official, turned out to be the one who was most opposed to her going.

Could it be that all the love her grandfather had shown her and his recognition of her talent over the years were fake?
