The First Family of Tang Dynasty

In the following days, although the old man gave Cheng Saburo a vacation, it did not mean that he could really rest.

Countless relatives and friends, friends and friends, in short, everyone with a familiar face will come to the house to congratulate.

Just to receive all kinds of gifts, all received numbness, and even many officials of the Luoyang county government came to a group building, oh no, it was a group worship. "Brother Cheng San is here?" Hearing this, Li Mingda immediately twisted and looked around in Li Shimin's arms.

Li Shimin couldn't help but his face was a little dark, but he couldn't bear to kill his own daughter, so he could only please smile.

"That kid didn't come, this is what Dad did."

Hearing this, Li Mingda snorted, and then arched Li Shimin with his small head, and his tender voice was full of admiration.

"Wow, Daddy, you are so powerful, but much more powerful than Xiao Sizi."

Hearing the compliment from his daughter, Li Shimin couldn't help but burst into laughter in high spirits.

After the well-behaved and sensible Li Mingda got down from Li Shimin's embrace, he approached curiously and took a closer look.

And Li Shimin told Empress Zhangsun succinctly that several ministers in today's court who are highly accomplished in astronomical calendars and algorithms are discussing matters here.

As a result, inadvertently, because of Li Chunfeng's grading of Feng, Xin Mao's emotion towards Cheng Chubi's talent was aroused.

Therefore, General Xin Mao sent him and three other colleagues who had been favored by Cheng Chubi to visit Duke Lu's mansion that day, but he was shocked by Cheng Chubi's ability.

"Even Li Chunfeng, Fu Renjun, and Cui Shanren were all taken aback."

"His knowledge actually surprised even these three?" Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but wonder.

What these three are good at is neither poetry nor literature, but all kinds of knowledge that ordinary people simply do not understand.

For example, extremely advanced arithmetic, or calendar calculations that ordinary people do not understand at all, or the laws of music.

In short, these talents are extremely partial top talents, and they were also frightened by Cheng Saburo.

Looking at his wife's exaggerated bright eyes, Li Shimin laughed, walked to the desk and sat down.

Li Mingda's homeopathic girl squeezed into Li Shimin's arms, stared at her dark eyes, and listened carefully to her father's words.

After Li Shimin sighed, he mentioned that Cheng Chubi wanted to set up Cheng's University.

In order to let that kid Cheng Saburo show off his talents to the fullest, the wise His Majesty the Tang Emperor decided to give him a boost.

Let's see if he can show all the strange knowledge in his stomach. Maybe there will be a lot of good things that will benefit the country and the people.

After all, this is a lesson from the past. Think about the salt-making method he came up with, as well as the printing technique, and the Cheng's paper that also belongs to the big killer level.

Not to mention, those machines that are far faster than manual printing, maybe he can come up with these things because of the knowledge in his mind.

Seeing her husband's smile full of anticipation in the midst of schadenfreude, Empress Zhangsun rolled her eyes covertly, well, you're happy.

Anyway, the old Cheng family's ability to fight and their ability to make a monster moth are not bad.

Thinking of this, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but raise her doubts.

"If that's the case, why don't you just let him go to the Imperial College and let him directly train talented people for the court, wouldn't it be better?"

Li Shimin laughed and reminded.

"Maid of Guanyin, have you forgotten about Cheng Saburo's harassment of the Taixue students and the Imperial Child Supervisor?"

Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but tap her forehead lightly and laughed out loud.

"My concubine really forgot about this. Speaking of which, Cheng Sanlang's temper is really not suitable for dealing with Guozijian and other schools."

"Yeah, Guozixue, all officials above the third rank and the sons and nephews of Wang Gongxun, Taixue is below the third rank, and officials above the fifth rank honor the sons and nephews..."

"Their old Cheng family has almost offended all the civil servants in the court and China, and they have angered the hundreds of students who are too educated. If he goes..."

The husband and wife could imagine it with their toes. If Cheng Sanlang's kid was allowed to enter the Guozijian, it would not be uncommon for the entire Guozijian to riot.

In Master Xu's studio, there are four unscrupulous artists with good relationships, each with their own strengths.

Everyone, if they paint serious things, they are definitely no worse than those painters in Chang'an City today.

But the question is, where are these people from...

For example, painter Dong, who was born as a child of a calligrapher’s workshop craftsman, has great aura and talent in calligraphy and painting since childhood.

By the time he was seventeen or eighteen, the paintings he copied were truly lifelike. The paintings he made are also very pleasing to the eye.

But the problem is that when he first got married, his father suddenly fell ill, sold a lot of his family wealth, hired a famous doctor, and finally saved his father's life.

However, the family is already unsustainable, and his wages in the workshop can only barely make ends meet.

So he decided to make paintings and sell them. However, he was born in a poor family and had no fame at all. How could there be a painting and calligraphy workshop accepting his paintings?

There are also some calligraphy and painting workshops that have accepted his paintings, but the prices they offer are very cold.

It was Master Xu who couldn't see it, so he was introduced to this trip. Although the paintings were not serious, it was a bit embarrassing to show Xu.

But at least the price is fair, and there is Master Xu's care. Even the painter Dong, who is in his late thirties, is already quite famous in the informal art world.

He is best at painting flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the other three have similar encounters with painter Dong.

All because of their poor status and poor background, they would not be recognized by the art circles in Chang'an City at all.

Since he has been engaged in informal art work, he has been well taken care of by the teacher, Master Xu. Therefore, Master Xu has acted like this.

With the sincere support of such a group of people, Master Xu has an excellent reputation and prestige in the informal art circle.

"...What should be said, the old man has finished, I wonder what you think?"

"If you are willing, then the old man can recommend Cheng Taichang and His Royal Highness Wu Wang to teach skills at Cheng's University."

"Elder Xu, as long as Mr. Xu thinks it's appropriate, Mr. Dong is willing to follow Mr. Xu." Painter Dong stood up without hesitation and bowed to Master Xu.

The other three looked at each other, and the eldest one stood up and bowed to Master Xu.

"Elder Xu, I was born in a poor family. Although I have heard about Cheng Taichang for a long time, I have never seen it, and His Royal Highness King Wu is even more of His Majesty's beloved son."

"Even if I promise Elder Xu, I'm afraid..."
