Yaoguang had no idea what was happening in the Ministry of Personnel, nor did she care much about it.

Since Yaoguang only went to the bakery once a day when it was closing time, she had some free time.

It doesn't seem like the right thing to just sit there all day. Seeing that her granddaughter was still young and it was not time for her to get married, Sun said, "Yaoguang, why don't you go to school!"

When Yaoguang just returned to the Qiao family, she was sent to school by Sun.

There was only one teacher in the rural school, and he taught only a few books. Apart from teaching students to recognize a hundred or so Chinese characters, he was not good at anything else.

Most of the students who learned to read and write were boys in the family, and I was the only girl in the school.

Going to school every day, the original body had learned a lot of words. But Sun was illiterate and didn't know how much knowledge her granddaughter had.

Seeing that his grandson has studied for so many years, Mr. Sun probably knows that reading should be continued.

If you read more, you will become smarter and more powerful.

Yaoguang was not opposed to studying.

Since Yaoguang could remember, she had been reading materials in the base. The mastermind told her that as the only human in the base, she should learn all the knowledge of humans, so that she could be considered a qualified successor of civilization.

What’s regrettable is that Yaoguang did not remember all the knowledge before the base exploded.

Maybe one fifth was written down?

So Yaoguang is not opposed to going to school.

Seeing Yaoguang agreed so readily, Sun naturally wanted to arrange a school for Yaoguang. However, as a foreigner, Sun was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know where the school was or which teacher was good, so she found Ding Mao who lived nearby.

Isn't he just a scholar?

"Go to school to study?" Ding Mao was shocked after understanding Sun's purpose.

His eyes darted back and forth between Sun and Yaoguang, and he even wanted to secretly pinch his thigh to confirm whether he was dreaming or not.

Miss Yaoguang goes to study?

Ask a teacher to teach her? If she were a man, she could directly become an official in the court.

Ding Mao's knowledge of Yaoguang comes not only from Yaoguang's magical carpentry and cooking skills, but also from Yaoguang's handwriting.

When the two signed the contract, Ding Mao saw the word "Yaoguang". At that time, he felt that Yaoguang was of great importance.

He had no idea how small it was at the time, but in short, anyone who could write like this at this age must be a well-read person.

But compared with everything he saw later, being well-read seemed a trivial advantage.

So when Sun said this, Ding Mao suspected that he was dreaming.

After all this, does Miss Yaoguang still want to go to school? This school for ordinary children can't teach her anything!

Seeing that Ding Mao looked embarrassed, Sun thought it was not easy for an outsider to study in the capital.

With a worried look on his face, he asked, "But it will cost a lot of money?"

As for silver, she still had quite a bit of it. Yaoguang had given her all the money the bakery had earned in recent days. If she needed to spend money to smooth things over, it should be enough.

"It's not a matter of money, old lady. What kind of husband do you want to find for Miss Yaoguang?" Ding Mao asked.

He can only try his best to find it, but he can't guarantee that it will work. People with ability have tempers, and it is not up to him to decide whether to accept it or not, and it is certainly not determined by money.

This question was quite difficult for Sun, as she knew nothing about academic matters.

I can only ask: "When Yaoguang was in the countryside, he studied for more than a year. What kind of teacher do you think is suitable?"

Did he only study for a year? Ding Mao was skeptical.

Is one year equal to ten years there?

Thinking about Yaoguang's other abilities, Ding Mao thought that Yaoguang was just gifted. A child of this age who could do these things was indeed gifted.

So, it would be better to find a better teacher.

Ding Mao accepted the task and said he would help Sun find it. Sun was so grateful that she gave Ding Mao two stacks of cakes.

After searching for two days, Ding Mao got news that he had found a suitable husband for Yaoguang.

The gentleman was extremely talented. He passed the imperial examination and served as an official. Later, he resigned and opened a school. Many people sent their children to study with him, and many of them passed the examination and became scholars.

Ding Mao talked about a series of things, but Sun didn't quite understand them, but she understood two things.

First, this person was an official, so he was very powerful. Second, this person’s student was a scholar, so she was very powerful.

Sun knew nothing about the imperial examination. He only knew that the teacher in the village school passed the examination and became a scholar, and was the most learned person in the village, so that person must be better than the village teacher.

So, Sun excitedly asked Ding Mao to take them to the school.

The teacher in the school was named Wei, and everyone called him Master Wei.

There were not many schools in the capital that accepted female students. Most of the daughters of high-ranking officials and dignitaries hired teachers to teach in their hometowns. The few schools that did accept girls mostly enrolled daughters of merchants.

Because women could not take the imperial examinations, the things they were taught were different, so most of the schools were populated by women.

But Master Wei was an exception. He had three female students.

Two of them were children of officials, and the other was from an ordinary family. The girl was extremely talented, and under the guidance of Master Wei, she became famous and even married the son of a fifth-rank official because of her talent and fame, becoming the wife of an official.

It caused a huge sensation for a while, and everyone wanted to send their daughters there, hoping that their daughters could marry into a wealthy family.

However, since then, Master Wei never accepted any female students again.

Although some people enthusiastically sent their children over, they were all driven out by Master Wei without exception.

Looking at the four big words "Mingjing Academy" written on the plaque, and listening to the sound of reading coming from inside.

Ding Mao felt that Yaoguang would be able to do it.

"Send a girl here to see the teacher? The teacher is busy! He doesn't accept female students." said the boy guarding the gate.

As soon as Ding Maocai went in and asked, he was directly rejected by the boy guarding the gate.

"Didn't you say that your school accepts female students? Why don't you accept them now?" Ding Mao calmed himself down and spoke in a friendly manner.

"That was all many years ago. Our teacher is old and can no longer teach. Other teachers are teaching in the school now, and Teacher Wei only comes here occasionally." said the little boy.

Only come occasionally?

"Then when is that occasionally?" Ding Mao handed over the silver unnoticeably.

The boy took the silver, his brows softened, and he cleared his throat and said, "The Master comes here on the first, fifth, seventh, and tenth day of every month, and not at other times."

Tomorrow is the 7th, there’s something going on!

"Thank you, young man. We will come over tomorrow." Ding Mao said.

The little boy glanced at Yaoguang, who was not very good-looking and was standing behind Ding Mao, and shook his head when he saw them turn their backs.

This little girl doesn't look smart, why would the teacher accept her?
