Chapter 967 - 963: Repaying with a Higher Position
Watching the army advance slowly like a dragon, going farther and farther away, Qingzhu urged his horse forward and quietly said to Bai Qingyan, "Miss, let’s head back! You still need to go to the Imperial College at the hour of Si."
Bai Qingyan nodded, pulled the reins, and turned her horse’s head, "Let’s head back!"
"Miss, we’ve received news... last night, some students from the Imperial College went to invite Professor Guan Yongchong." Qingzhu rode beside Bai Qingyan and whispered to her.
Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes, pressed her lips together in silence, and quietly tightened her grip on the reins.
She naturally knew why these students invited her mentor, but Bai Qingyan believed... her mentor would understand her intentions in allowing women into schools, taking the imperial exams, and becoming officials.
Back then, her mentor defended her in front of so many students outside Wude Gate, calling her the pride of his life; hence, she believed her mentor would surely understand the intention behind her actions.
After all, if women could study, take exams, and serve in official positions, then the Zhou Dynasty’s pool of talent would increase by half.
Not judging people’s worth by gender, not ranking them by gender, everyone equal... each contributing to the nation and the people according to their talents, the country would grow strong at a multiplied rate.
"No worries, let’s head back. Ask Wei Zhong to prepare to depart for the Imperial College." Bai Qingyan said.
