Cheng Chubi stared blankly at Ren Yaxiang, Shangguan Yi, Xin Maojiang and Wu Xiangshou who were sitting on both sides.
After listening to these four very talented imperial examination talents flattering each other for a long time, Cheng Chubi raised his hand to signal these four to be quiet.
The four of them were quiet before another voice rang out.
"Brother Chu Bi, I think these four gentlemen are right in what they say, but you are the only one worthy of this comment."
Cheng Chubi saw the delinquent prince Li Ke with a wild smile on his face, and the four of them quickly stood up and saluted His Highness the King of Wu.
Looking at these guys, Cheng Chubi felt like he was about to burst into tears. He didn't expect that last night, his father and the others were left to mess around.
As soon as these people arrived, they told Cheng Chubi straightforwardly that they had heard about Cheng University.
And around them, there are many classmates and friends who have failed, but they still have a strong desire to study, hoping to find guidance from famous teachers.
We all know that Cheng Taichang is so awesome, talented, and knowledgeable, and can even write enlightening textbooks such as "The Three Character Classic".
Therefore, our classmates and friends are all eager to become your disciples, or to study at the Cheng University founded by you.
After all, Cheng's University only teaches medical skills. Wouldn't it be a waste of Cheng Taichang's other talents and knowledge?
These guys are worthy of being able to become imperial examination talents with their true abilities, and they are also outstanding talents praised by Uncle Li.
Not only was he quick-witted, he was also quick-talking, and he immediately confused Cheng Chubi.
But... But after Cheng Chubi calmed down, he also realized his shortcomings. I am afraid that he cannot even reach the 70% level of himself in classical Chinese.
As for the Four Books and Five Classics, a series of literary classics, Cheng Chubi, who didn't even remember their names and order, really couldn't shoulder this responsibility.
Ren Yaxiang and others looked at Cheng Taichang who was stuck in the long exam with uneasiness. After a long time, Cheng Taichang finally raised his head.
"Everyone, if you have such an idea, I hope that your familiar friends and classmates can come to Cheng University to study."
"Cheng is naturally very welcoming, but there is a big problem. There is no teacher, or in other words, there is a lack of teachers to teach them the Four Books and Five Classics."
"After all, although Mr. Cheng is good at many subjects, he is indeed weak in the Four Books and Five Classics."

"Cheng Taichang, you don't have to be so modest."
"I'm really not humble..."
"Cheng Taichang, you are so talented and knowledgeable, but you are still so humble. We really admire you."
"Yes, it is rare in the world for an important court official to be as famous as you, Cheng Taichang, and yet remain so low-key and humble."
Cheng Chubi looked at these four guys with a dark look on his face, he was really drunk.
Ren Yaxiang rolled his eyes and suddenly spoke seriously.
"Everyone, let's not embarrass Cheng Taichang like this. You think of it, Cheng Taichang is an important minister in the court. He not only has to teach medicine, but also has many official duties to attend to."
"It would be really inappropriate to let those people bother Cheng Taichang again."
"However, Mrs. Cheng often said that there is a shortage of teachers of this type in Ji Cheng University. This problem is not impossible to solve."
"Ren is not talented and would like to recommend a tutor to Cheng Taichang..."
"My master is willing to be from Chang'an. Because of the war in the early years, he had no choice but to go to Longxi.
Ren was able to become a disciple of my master through the friendship between his father and my master..."
"Prior to this, Ren had already told his family tutor the good news about becoming an official through the imperial examination, and his family teacher also admired Cheng Taixue's knowledge and character very much.
If Cheng Taichang is willing, Ren will be willing to come forward to persuade the tutor."
Cheng Chubi slapped his mouth and said with some hesitation, "You must also know that if your classmates and friends really entered our Cheng University."
"I'm afraid that my career as an official will not be smooth in the future. Besides, Cheng Mou just quarreled with the imperial eunuch of the Imperial College and the Imperial College secretary."
"They have become students of my Cheng University. I am afraid that they themselves will not be able to withstand such pressure."
Hearing Cheng Chubi's relaxed answer, the four of them couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
General Xin Mao saluted Cheng Chubi and said seriously.
"Cheng Taichang's words are wrong. Even if you, Cheng Taichang, don't quarrel with Taixue and Kong Rangli, it will still be difficult for us and the common people from poor families to enter the officialdom."
Cheng Chubi's eyes lit up when he heard the flower name Kong Rangli.
Hmm... I didn't expect that the serious General Xin Mao would also be a clever little guy who knew how to please himself.
"Wu has an elder brother who has been in the imperial examination for nearly ten years. He passed the imperial examination twice, but he failed in the official selection.
I am already discouraged and studying in my hometown. If Cheng Taichang does not give up, Wu is willing to recommend my senior brother to come."
"Who is that senior brother of yours who is so powerful? He was elected twice, so why can't he pass the civil service election?"
"Come to think of it...well, my senior brother is short in stature, only a little over five feet tall."
"No wonder..." The other three people looked astonished. Cheng Chubi and Li Ke looked at each other in silence.
There is no way, the imperial examinations of this era are like this. Not only do you have to look at your talent, but you also have to look at your face. If your face is not good-looking, it will be of no use even if your writing is brilliant.
When you get to the official department, if you see someone with crooked melons and cracked dates, they will definitely kick you out.
Therefore, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, those who could become important ministers in the court were at least pretty good-looking.
Of course, those fat generals are referring to their barbaric physiques, but at least they can be considered to be handsome.
Especially my biological father Cheng Yaojin, with his thick beard like a steel needle, he is definitely a handsome old man.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to give birth to a handsome boy with delicate features. This is true.

Cheng Chubi has already agreed that Cheng's University will accept their classmates and friends and let them enroll in Cheng's University.
This made the four of them feel relaxed. In addition, King Wu Li Ke liked to make friends and had no airs.
A group of people started chatting and were extremely lively.
"Just now, Cheng Taichang, you said that you are good at various subjects, which really piqued Xin's interest. I wonder if Cheng Taichang would be willing to tell you."
Well, I can only think of so much for the time being. Of course, Cheng can only be said to be slightly involved in these things, but I dare not say he is proficient in them."
Cheng Chubi was embarrassed to say that he knew a little programming, could set up a local area network, and knew how to circumvent the wall and download art films.
Of course, these can only be regarded as ordinary little talents, not worth mentioning, and they wouldn't understand them anyway.
The four of them stared blankly at Cheng Chubi without saying a word. The time they spent together with Cheng Taichang was not short.
He had attended Cheng's family banquet not ten times but five or six times, so he knew very well the character of Cheng Sanlang, a straightforward gentleman who never lied in his words and deeds.
