Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 223 They're both a married couple, but the difference in their character is so vast.

"I'm fine. Qingqing, you're not hurt, are you?" Su Jiahe covered his arm that had just been hit, not daring to move.

At Deng Sui's command, the several men who had smashed the school were all taken away by the guards.

"Was anyone hurt just now?" Deng Sui looked around the school.

"Empress Dowager, Sister Su was severely beaten with a stick in order to save me and my students." He Shuangqing wiped away her tears with heartache.

"I'm fine, you guys go check on the others." Su Jiahe waved his hand.

The girls who had just been frightened finally came to their senses and knelt on the ground to thank Deng Sui for her timely rescue.

"What's your name?" Deng Sui walked up to the girl who had just been dragged by the big man.

"To your Majesty, I am Shen An, a commoner. My home is in Longmen, Luoyang." The girl sobbed as she replied.

"Get up, everyone." Deng Sui gently helped Shen An up. "How many days have you been in the girls' school?"

"It's been half a month."

"Do you like the school?"

"The school is very good, and the teacher is also very good, but I won't be coming here in the future." Shen An said with a very aggrieved tone.

"Why?"

"Before I came to the academy, my father didn't agree. My mother pawned her jewelry to send me here. But soon after I arrived, I was beaten and driven away. I don't dare to come anymore. Maybe my father is right. If a woman shows up in public, it will bring disaster."

"Empress Dowager, we won't come to school anymore to avoid causing trouble." Several other girls also sobbed.

"What kind of logic is this? You were studying so well, and they insisted on causing trouble. How did that make you the one causing the trouble?"

Su Jiahe was so angry that she wanted to stand up and reason with the girls, but she pulled the wound and couldn't help but grimace in pain and gasp.

"Don't move. Let me check if your bones are injured." Wang Mang quickly held Su Jiahe down.

"Is it because someone drove you away that you didn't come?" Deng Sui walked among the girls and continued to ask.

"We are all weak women. How can we resist those people?"

"Yes, if you are bullied by a bad person one day, there will be no recovery."

……

There was sobbing in the classroom, and the girls all lowered their heads and wiped their tears quietly.

"Don't cry, everyone. The Queen Mother established the school and gave you the opportunity to study. You can't give up just because of one setback."

He Shuangqing persuaded everyone and comforted the girls one by one. However, the girls did not say anything and just kept crying.

Deng Sui sighed silently and walked straight to the podium.

"Don't cry anymore."

Only after Deng Sui spoke did the girls stop crying.

"Miss Shen An, I want to ask you, why did your mother pawn her jewelry to send you to school despite your father's objections?"

"My mother was very smart when she was young, but her grandfather did not allow her to go to school. Whenever she talked about the past, she felt very regretful." Shen An said.

"If you never come to the academy again because of someone else's obstruction, will you regret it later?"

When Shen An heard Deng Sui's question, he was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"Girls, the school was smashed today because of my inconsiderateness. I will definitely punish the criminals severely and strengthen the security." Deng Sui cleared her throat and said righteously.

"I understand that as a woman, I fear the pointing fingers of the world even more. But even if you go home today and never come to school again, never study again, will the pointing fingers disappear?" "If you give in to others' refusal to let you study today, tomorrow they will not let you go out, will not let you speak, and one day they may even harm your body, making it impossible for you to move an inch. Are you willing to continue to give in?"

"Good! Ah——" Su Jiahe wanted to lead the applause, but when he moved his arm, he felt another sharp pain.

The school was still silent, but after hearing what Deng Sui said, the girls all fell into deep thought.

No one has ever said such words to them in their lives, and they have never thought about this question.

"Shen An, do you still want to go home?" Deng Sui suddenly asked.

Shen An lowered his head, bit his lip, and finally shook his head firmly.

"Your Majesty, I wish to continue studying in the academy."

"I am willing too."

"I, a common girl, also want to study. Thank you, Queen Mother, for opening a girls' school."

……

The girls knelt down and kowtowed to thank Deng Sui for giving them the opportunity to study, expressing their determination to persevere no matter what difficulties they encountered.

"Good, it's good that you've figured it out. Get up now."

After tidying up the messy schoolroom, everyone took their seats and continued their lessons with the teacher. Su Jiahe's arm pain had subsided considerably, and she boarded the carriage to return to her lodgings.

"Jiahe, I never knew you had such a heroic side." Wang Mang gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"What do you mean by that? Did you think I was a coward before?" Su Jiahe joked.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that today was too dangerous. I'm so glad you're alright. Don't be so impulsive in the future."

“If even a frail girl like Qingqing dared to stand up for us, how could I stand idly by? But I also want to thank Uncle Wen today. If it weren’t for his help, we would have all been beaten up.”

“Yes, I didn’t realize it before. Xiu’er is quite a fighter. She’s over fifty and can still hold her own against several big men. She’s still got some serious skills.” Wang Mang patted Liu Xiu on the shoulder.

"Nonsense, otherwise how could I have defeated you in Kunyang back then?" Liu Xiu said calmly, wiping the blood off his sword.

"I said, is this matter still unresolved?" Wang Mang was immediately speechless.

“Your Majesty, my brother is now the benefactor of the Han Dynasty, so let’s not dwell on the past,” Yin Lihua said from the side.

"That's right, Xiuer, look at your wife. You're a married couple, but the difference in your character is so huge."

Just then, a knock came from the courtyard. Several people went to open the door and saw an old woman and several palace servants standing outside.

"I am a female physician in the palace, sent by the Empress Dowager to treat Miss Su's injury."

"No need, I'm all better now. I can just apply some medicine myself," Su Jiahe waved her hand.

"But the Empress Dowager has given an order, and I dare not disobey it." The female physician looked somewhat troubled.

"Alright, then come in and have a look."

Su Jiahe led the female doctor to her room, took off her clothes, and revealed the injury on her arm. The female doctor reached out and pressed on the bruised and swollen area, and Su Jiahe felt a sharp pain and subconsciously pulled away.

"That villain was so ruthless. Luckily, it was springtime and the girl was wearing thick clothes, otherwise her bones would have been broken."

The female doctor took Su Jiahe's pulse again, prescribed several doses of medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and then packed up her medicine box and left.

"Miss Su, let me brew your medicine," Yin Lihua said, taking the medicine packet.

"No need, no need, I can cook it myself."

“Hey, this medicine doesn’t need to be decocted at all,” Wang Mang said, looking at the prescription. “This formula is just safflower oil and Xiaohuoluo pills, which we already have.”
