Chapter 42

So in the next few days, Xie Qingyun and Xue Jingguang visited every household in Jiangnan City where there were female dependents studying.

They had only one purpose - to unite studying women and actively fight for women's right to take the imperial examination.

With Xue Jingguang here, it would not be troublesome for them to find someone.

After all, Xue Jingguang had made many close friends among his girlfriends because of his love of reading. They often held poetry gatherings together on weekdays, and they had a close relationship.

It's just that although she has many friends, there are not many women who want to participate in the imperial examination like her.

Most people even bluntly said that they only study so that they can better assist their husbands' families in the future.

I don't want to take any imperial examination at all.

Xue Jingguang's face was full of hatred for iron and steel.

Xie Qingyun and the others originally planned to form a joint petition of a hundred people to write a letter to the emperor, announcing the determination of women all over the world to participate in the imperial examination.

But after running around for several days, it ended dismally with only fifteen signatures.

Xue Jingguang's original enthusiasm was shattered to pieces in an instant.

"Miss Huang, why don't we continue to wait for the emperor's decree." Xue Jingguang suggested.

"Our abilities are too small, the place is small, and we don't have the emperor's support... If we want to tell the world about things, it's really not something that just a person from Jiangnan can do."

Xie Qingyun nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense..."

"A mere Jiangnan is really not enough."

Xue Jingguang nodded, feeling relieved that she understood him.

I'm just happy, but also a little sad.

It was the first time she decided to make a career, but she was suppressed before she even took off.

Everyone will be disappointed for some time.

I'm afraid Miss Huang is like this too.

Xue Jingguang quietly retreated. Seeing Miss Huang's bowed head and lost look, she felt that she might also need to be alone.

The next day, Xue Jingguang got up early.

The day before, she gave Miss Huang time to recover without disturbing her.But I still feel uneasy and am ready to come and see it again.

However, the moment Xue Jingguang opened the door, he was frightened by the long scroll lying on the ground and froze in place.

She saw that the hundred-person scroll, which had only fifteen signatures the day before, was actually filled up today.

Not sparsely filled, but densely packed.

There are at least a thousand names!Xue Jingguang took a breath.

How did this happen in one night?
Then I went to see Miss Huang. The latter was slowly having breakfast. When he saw her coming, he waved and smiled: "Morning."

Xue Jingguang also replied with difficulty and had no time to pay attention to Miss Huang. He hurriedly closed the door and trembled, and ran over to look at the hundred-meter-long scroll spread on the ground.

The names above are all famous families in Daqi, and they are not limited to Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Luoyang, Huainan, Beijing... countless names of noble ladies from all over the country are on it!
"This..." Xue Jingguang didn't believe that this was signed by them themselves.

In just one night, even with the help of gods, I can't travel all over Daqi overnight and get everyone's signatures smoothly, right?

"Is this really signed by them themselves?" Xue Jingguang looked unbelieving.

Sure enough, Xie Qingyun, who was drinking tea, put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Well, these were not signed by them themselves."

"I signed it on their behalf."

Xie Qingyun was secretly grateful that she had learned a lot of calligraphy when she was young, and now she could fake it so perfectly.

Xue Jingguang was shocked: "Miss Huang, do you know that these people are all noble ladies with backgrounds?"

It would be scary to mess with just one of them, let alone so many of them.

Why is Miss Huang so brave to steal so many people's names without their permission?
If word gets out, even if the emperor comes, he won't be able to protect her.

Fortunately, there is still time to save everything.

Xue Jingguang secretly rejoiced.

She knew that Miss Huang was ignorant of worldly affairs and did not know the consequences of doing this.

It's okay, she can help with the aftermath.

Xue Jingguang said hurriedly: "It's okay, don't worry, let's burn this paper quickly before anyone finds out about it."

After Xie Qingyun heard this, she almost spit out a mouthful of tea and stopped her hastily, with a puzzled look on her face: "Why?"

Xue Jingguang's eyes widened: "If I don't burn it, why would you want to make it public?"

Xie Qingyun said of course, "Yes."

She worked hard all night to put together all the names she could think of, not just for people to burn them.

Xie Qingyun put down the tea, stood up and walked over to pick up the piece of paper.

"Okay, let's go."

Xue Jingguang was stunned: "Where to go?"

"There are no bigger officials in Jiangnan City, so let's go to the prefect first." Xie Qingyun said with disgust.
