Yao Anling also encouraged Mrs. Yao Er to send the four boys at home to Shuxiangyuan. She happened to be studying there now. Mrs. Yao Er was busy with her brother Yao Anhong's marriage and would definitely not have time to take care of the four boys.
In this case, if they are sent to Shuxiangyuan and she is there to take care of them, they won't be afraid of anything happening.
Mrs. Yao Er heard that there was a system of book schools there, ranging from kindergarten to elementary school and middle school, as well as student dormitories, so she took a day to take Yao Anling to have a look.
When I saw that the student dormitory here was really good, and there was also a dormitory nun, I asked for a separate courtyard for the five siblings.
Mrs. Yao's second wife left behind a nanny to teach her, and kept stressing to Yao Anling - don't cause trouble, don't cause trouble, don't cause trouble!
It’s not just her four sons who cause trouble, her daughter, who is very clever, can also cause trouble.
Yao Anling had a sweet look on her face: "Mom, I'm here to study."
Mrs. Yao Er was relieved and left peacefully.
The four little ones in the second room were completely unwilling to give up. The primary school in Shuxiangyuan is very interesting. There are many things in it that are not available outside. They were all renovated by gentlemen from Mohist Academy and Gongshu Academy.
The four little guys had an eye-opening experience and were made happy by the new friends they made.
While Yao Anling was distracted and paying attention to her four younger brothers not to cause trouble, she wandered around Shuxiangyuan to prepare for the entrance exam.
At this time, she was a little envious of her younger brothers. They were in elementary school and did not need to take exams, but she was in the "adult class" and had to take exams to separate classes.
She had never received relevant education before, and she didn't know how she did in the exam.
The new acquaintance Mo Yudu smiled and told her: "Don't worry, you won't take the exam as soon as you come in. You will take large classes with everyone for a period of time. At this time, you can choose some courses that you are interested in. A month later
, the gentlemen will arrange the exam for you according to your situation."
Although Shuxiangyuan already has almost five colleges, among them, only four colleges that accept female students are Mohist Academy, Gongshu Academy, and Farmer Academy. Like the Devil Academy next door, it is dedicated to the legendary "waste";
Xiang College specializes in accepting imperial examination candidates and has a clear division of labor.
Of course, if students in the five colleges have other ambitions, they can also submit applications for transfer to other colleges. As long as you pass the exam, you can transfer to another college.
"Gongshu College and Mohist College are enemies as soon as you hear their names. They both do scientific research, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, biology... If you are interested in these things, you can choose them."
"The Agricultural College studies farming, and you don't look like you are interested."
"Of course, they also have some other courses, such as..."
…
These are not what Yao Anling is interested in. Apart from watching a "curio", she prefers to stay in the library of Shuxiangyuan.
The collection of books there is huge, many times larger than the one at the Yao family's house in Jinling.
As soon as I inquired about it, I found out that due to the participation of farmers, public losers, and Mohists, a large number of books had been added to the collection.
Others who wanted to please Prince Chong's palace would also print some of the family's books and donate them to Shuxiangyuan.
Some of them were reprinted by Gu Qingling at his own bookstore and sent to the Yao family in Jinling. However, reprinting by one person would definitely be slower than reprinting by not so many people.
Yao Anling found it difficult to read various historical records, travel notes, and miscellaneous notes.
Unconsciously, I stayed for a long time, and occasionally I met a strange young man. When that person saw the book Yao Anling read, he would take the initiative to chat with her.
The maid next to Yao Anling looked wary.
The man smiled softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. I'm Ou Yuyu, an assistant at Public Transport College. Have you ever heard of me?"
"Are you Mr. Ou?" Yao Anling has naturally heard of it.
When Mo Yudu introduced the college to her, he especially praised Mr. Gongshu from Gongshu College. By the way, Ou Yuyu, as Mr. Gongshu's assistant, was also introduced in a grand manner.
"It seems you have heard of me, Miss Yao Si."
"How do you know who I am? You didn't ask me intentionally, did you?" Yao Anling said while looking at the other person.
Ou Yuyu said with a smile: "I have basically met all the female students from the three colleges. Only Miss Yao Si is the new one. She looks familiar and has a maid following her. Except for Miss Yao Si, I can't guess."
Who else is there?"
Yao Anling raised her eyebrows.
At first, Yao Anling thought that Ou Yuyu was here to get close to her, but as she chatted, she discovered that this guy was very knowledgeable, witty, and funny, so what on earth was he here for?
In the next few days, Yao Anling would meet him, occasionally chatting about the book she was reading, and occasionally he would recommend a few new books to her.
If he hadn't taken a few manuscripts that were not available in the library, Yao Anling would have thought he was disturbing her reading and would have ignored him.
As time went by, Yao Anling figured out some flavors.
"Miss, doesn't he have a crush on you?"
Yao Anling turned to look at the maid beside her, her expression indescribable: "How did you know that he fell in love with me? When a young man pleases his sweetheart, he doesn't try to make her happy, but to ask his sweetheart to read more books and have more friends.
Give her a hard problem?"
"Uh..." The maid suddenly became speechless.
"You, you'd better read more books."
…
Yao Anling lived happily in Shuxiangyuan, and Yao Anyi's marriage was settled.
Gu Qingling asked Mrs. Yao to help arrange the engagement, and she made a bracelet with the royal symbol as a token of engagement.
Auntie Chen, who was far away in Jinling, received a letter from Beijing, and she was very happy to know that her precious grandson had settled for a girl from the assistant teacher's family at the Imperial College.
"I'm just telling you, my brother Yi is so good, how can no one take a fancy to him? Look, look, isn't this someone taking a fancy to him?"
She was very happy and felt much better when she saw her daughter-in-law Qiao. She shared this matter with her daughter-in-law Qiao.
But what Old Aunt Chen didn’t expect was that her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qiao, looked unhappy: “Why did you decide on a girl from the assistant tutor’s family in the Imperial College? She is an official, isn’t she Yi Geer? He has no taste or rank, and he also
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I won't marry you."
Old Aunt Chen's face suddenly fell: "What is the marriage? Brother Yi is marrying a wife, so how can a wife be a wife? Can't you just hope for Brother Yi? He is your biological son. He wants to be well. He
I can also take care of your twins in the future. Do you want him to marry the niece of the aunt next to the third child? It would be shameless to marry him."
Yao Anyi can even afford to marry the daughter of a sixth-rank official, so why should he marry a girl from his maiden family who is a low-class concubine?
Parents, would you ever slap your children in the face like this?
Not to mention her daughter-in-law Qiao, Aunt Chen also felt heartbroken and depressed when she thought of her son.
"Both of them fail to live up to expectations, which makes me so angry!"
Aunt Chen clutched her chest, not even wanting to say anything to her daughter-in-law Qiao, and turned around to leave.
Don't forget to ask the maid to pick up the twins after school in the middle of the day. Don't leave them alone with your daughter-in-law Qiao, so as not to be spoiled by your daughter-in-law Qiao.
