In the morning, in the southeast area of ​​Guangzhou City, Chen Qing’s family.

Bang! Bang!

Accompanied by two knocks on the door, a middle-aged female voice rang outside the door.

"Is Chen Qing at home?"

Hearing the sound outside the door, Chen Qing opened the door and walked out. Seeing the matchmaker who seemed to be surnamed Zhao, he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"If you have something, something, a big happy event, Chen Qing, your big girl has no one, right?" Zhao asked with a smile.

"No."

Chen Qing shook his head. He had already guessed why matchmaker Zhao was over. The matter was obvious. His Da Ya was 14 years old and was almost the age to get married. If it were in the past, Da Ya was a girl from the lower class. She looked ordinary and almost didn't have to think about having a matchmaker coming.

But now it’s different. More than two years ago, Daya entered the first girls’ school in Guangzhou. This school is extraordinary. The wife of the Grand Superintendent personally served as the principal, teacher, and students are ordinary before entering the school, and even after entering the school.

Women read and read, which is something that only wealthy families can do. How can the daughters of ordinary people at the bottom of the country read and read? But this happened to the eldest daughter of Shen Qing's family, so the big girl became unusual.

After studying in girls' school for more than two years, Daya learned a lot of things, such as reading and literacy, arithmetic, embroidery, painting and even dressing. Daya walked with a farm girl of the same age. Both of them were wearing ordinary clothes. The farm girl looked rustic, but Daya was a pretty little girl who looked different in spirit and had confidence.

By the way, after entering the girls' school, Daya also had her own name, Qiuyan and Chen Qiuyan.

A young girl who was originally ordinary has become extraordinary. She can understand her words and is a student of the Grand Governor's wife. This can be regarded as the daughter of a middle- and upper-income family.

Before Zhao matchmaker, other matchmakers had already come to the house, but Chen Qing refused to leave. You should know that Chen Qing's family is just a vegetable seller in Guangzhou City, with an income at the bottom, and at least a middle-income family came to propose marriage.

The Shen family itself is at the bottom. Even if the eldest daughter enters the girls' school, Chen Qing does not feel that her daughter's status has improved. After all, she is just a woman, and it is enough to marry a similar family. If she really marrys into a wealthy family, Chen Qing is worried that her daughter will be bullied after marriage, and she does not think that her daughter will become a real wife.

However, one day in March this year, what Daya said to Chen Qing when she came home from school changed Chen Qing's mind, and any matchmaker would refuse.

In fact, there are more than one case of Chen Qing's family in Guangzhou. There are many girls who go to girls' schools. Even though they are ordinary, they become very good candidates for wives or daughter-in-law in the eyes of many people. As long as the other party's family agrees, they will pass the door as soon as the girl graduates from girls' schools.

A girl's parents were jealous of money and really agreed. After the girl came home, she didn't react much after she learned that she was promised. She didn't want to marry a man she didn't know, but she knew that she could not resist her parents. Filial piety is also very important in the education of girls' schools. After going to school the next day, she told the teacher about the matter and found a solution from the teacher.

In the end, Hu Xiaoya learned about the matter, and Hu Xiaoya came up with a solution.

These girls are all her students of Hu Xiaoya. Hu Xiaoya naturally doesn't want her students to get married so easily. They are so young that marriage cannot limit their lives. Even if they want to get married, they have to marry a more suitable partner.

The most suitable object is naturally in the People's Army. Many of the three-year education graduates in the People's Army system are very suitable candidates. They are still very young, and marrying a son of a merchant is obviously not as good as marrying an officer or an official.

After thinking about it, Hu Xiaoya summoned all the students of the girls' school to hold a meeting for them and asked them to go home and tell their parents that the school did not allow them to marry before the age of sixteen, and that the person they would marry in the future would be a People's Army officer or government official.

Of course, these are all things to tell your parents. Hu Xiaoya told the students that there is no need to marry an officer or an official, and the most important thing is that she likes it.

The students went home and told their parents what the principal said, which was what the governor’s wife said. Even if a few parents were very unhappy, they had to obey. However, after they heard the subsequent words, the displeasure on their faces completely disappeared.

How can the son of a merchant be compared with an officer or an official? No matter how rich a merchant is, he must bow his head in front of officers and officials. His daughter is a student of the wife of the Grand Supervisor, and if he wants to marry an officer or an official of the People's Army.

The status of merchants is higher than that of ordinary people, but no matter how high they are, they are not as high as officials. This is something that ordinary people know.

The words of the Grand Governor's wife slowly spread, which made the girls' schools more popular, and more people came to propose marriages, and the betrothal gifts also increased. There were many wealthy families, and they all said that they would pass by when she was over 16 years old, but they were all rejected.

Students in girls' schools do not need to worry about their marriage for the time being. At least they don't need to worry about their parents getting married so quickly. They still have greater power to choose the person they like in the future. If they are officers or officials, the resistance from their parents will be very small.

They didn't have much time to think about their future husband before, but now because of this kind of thing, they have also begun to think about whether to marry an officer or an officer in the future.

The girls are not old at school and have never promised to marry a childhood sweetheart. After entering girls' school, they learn more knowledge and understand more. Naturally, they are unwilling to marry someone who doesn't know a word. Those officers and officials who have studied in the school should have many common languages ​​with them.

Hu Xiaoya felt the students' mood change and shook her head helplessly. The girls' schools were incomparable to other schools. The graduates of other schools were all boys, and there were many things they could do. There were probably only two things that graduates of girls' schools could do. One was to be teachers in girls' schools, and the other was to wait for marriage.

Hu Xiaoya asked Fang Nan about the solution, but Fang Nan could not imagine it for the time being. He probably had to wait until a large textile factory appeared and a woman entered the textile factory to work, and the woman's role would gradually appear. The more a woman's role would be accompanied by the improvement of social status.

If a woman wants to change her situation significantly, she must wait until the older generation passes away and passes away with tradition. Now is an era of constant change.
