The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 719 Arrangement
Ayu wanted to tell Qin Huai about her grandmother's identity, but then thought it was inappropriate. What if her grandmother didn't want to reveal her identity to more people? Wouldn't she just be asking for trouble?
Therefore, Ayu swallowed these words and only talked to Qin Huai about some things in officialdom.

Qin Huai also shared his insights with A Yu, and the two chatted happily for a while.

Tangyuan and Chijia, standing nearby, felt somewhat helpless.

Everyone thought their master was young, a child in the eyes of others, but here he was worrying about the country and its people, discussing profound topics that would surely shock them.

When Ayu and Qin Huai discussed having lunch, they simply set out their meal in the small imperial garden. After eating, they didn't rush home, but chatted casually.

Qin Huai noticed that A Yu seemed a little absent-minded, clearly hiding something, so he didn't rush her but waited for her to speak.

Ayu was still somewhat uneasy and had something she needed to say, so she said to Qin Huai, "Brother Ayou, do you think it was right or wrong for me to start a girls' academy?"

What do you think?

“From the moment I started thinking about establishing a women’s hospital until now, I’ve always believed I was right. But what the Empress Dowager said to me made me think that perhaps it was just wishful thinking on my part. What if those women don’t want to go to school, don’t want to learn skills, don’t want to go out to do business, and don’t want to participate in the imperial examinations like the men? What if they just want to live a life of contentment, marrying into wealth and comfort, and I want to drag them out of their comfortable homes? Wouldn’t that be too cruel?”

Qin Huai then realized that his fiancée was actually troubled by this matter.

“Since that’s the case, why don’t you think about it from a different angle? First of all, you haven’t forced anyone. Secondly, you’re just doing your own thing. Whether it’s a women’s hospital or a men’s hospital, it’s ultimately just a place to teach, impart knowledge, and resolve doubts. The academy below doesn’t force you to enroll. So, whether they want to enter the academy, whether they want to learn, and whether they want to change their lives are all their own choices. You haven’t criticized anyone or hurt anyone. You’re just doing what you want to do and moving towards your original plan. What’s wrong with that?” Ayu was still a little conflicted: “The Empress Dowager told me that Princess Yongchang once did something similar, but she failed miserably.”

"Does she, like you, want to open a girls' academy?"

"No, she wanted women to engage in business and enter officialdom, and it was the women who stood up to oppose it."

Qin Huai said, "That's normal. If I were to say now that men should return to their families, leave the court, and enjoy their retirement, spending their grandchildren and living a more comfortable and pleasant life, do you think it would be the men or the women who would jump out to object?"

"Is it a man?" After all, it's a man who's about to undergo a change and leave his familiar living environment.

At first, Ayu didn't understand, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood what Qin Huai meant.

“So, actually, Princess Yongchang and I have different ideas. Princess Yongchang directly presented the answer to those people, while I just told them that there are these paths to take. Compared to that, my method is gentler and more benevolent?” Ayu understood more or less and stopped worrying. “It seems that I really need to go to Jiangsai to take a good look.”

Only in the most difficult and chaotic places can she know what people need most to support them, especially those who are most distressed and confused.
