Did someone just shout "Wait!"?
Standing in front of the private school, Bai Tian couldn't help but look down and ask his daughter and son beside him.
Juanjuan shook her head: "I didn't hear it."
Bai Yunxing: "It shouldn't be calling us."
"Oh well."
When Bai Tian saw his children say this, he stopped caring.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door of the private school.
The door opened, and a little child appeared before them.
Who are you looking for?
Bai Tian politely said, "We've come to learn."
The child nodded: "Then come with me!"
Bai Tian, carrying Juanjuan and holding his second son's hand, followed the child into the private school.
Despite being called a private school, it was just a small, unpretentious house with the sound of students reading aloud and the faint scent of ink in the courtyard.
"Sir, someone has come seeking knowledge."
The child stepped forward and explained the situation.
Soon, a refined-looking man in his early thirties approached.
He first bowed to Bai Tian, then his gaze fell on Bai Yunxing.
"Is this the little child who has come to study?"
Bai Tian smiled and said, "Yes, there's this too."
He bounced his little girl in his arms, indicating that she would also be going to school.
The private tutor chuckled softly, finding it somewhat amusing.
He looked at Bai Tian and kindly offered the following advice:
"Why should a little girl study? I don't think you're that wealthy. This boy should study; he might pass the imperial examinations and become an official..."
"But let's leave the little girl out. She should stay home and do needlework, cooking, and laundry to help support the family!"
"After you get married, being diligent is better than studying!"
The private tutor was puzzled as to why this poorly dressed young man would send a girl to a private school.
Juanjuan looked at the private tutor in front of her.
She knew the private tutor was right; who in the village would send girls to school to learn to read and write?
It's useless. A girl who is diligent is much easier to get married than one who is studious.
But... being told that something is worthless made Juanjuan feel a little sad.
Juanjuan is a little sad.
Bai Tian is different.
As a modern young person who has long accepted gender equality.
He grew angrier the more he listened, wearing a forced smile on his face while cursing inwardly!
What the hell?! I'm speechless! Girls are only meant to get married?!
My mom and my grandma, aren't they both strong women? One fought against a beautiful enemy and rescued a small town! The other built her own top 100 company!
[I'm speechless. I've had disagreements with men like this before in modern times, and now that I'm in ancient times, everyone's like this!]
[Even a teacher can say such things.]
Bai Tian was inwardly cursing, but outwardly he smiled kindly and said:
"A teacher's role is to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts. Teachers should not be limited by gender; anyone who is willing to learn is a good student."
The private tutor was taken aback.
Clearly, they hadn't expected that this seemingly uneducated young man could say something like that.
What the private tutor didn't expect was...
Standing next to the man, the thin little boy spoke up and continued:
"In ancient times, Wang Pei disguised himself as a man and rose to the position of prime minister. Today, the Mu family's daughter follows her father to guard the border! Sir, women are not inferior to men."
The private tutor looked at the father and son in front of him, and then at the young girl.
He then chuckled and bowed, saying, "I was foolish."
Bai Tian never expected the private tutor to say that.
