Fang Xuanling picked up the pair of glasses and looked at his wife, Lu, who was looking at him with a smile on her face in astonishment.
"Husband, as you get older, your eyesight becomes worse and worse, and you often have to deal with things at night."
"The one before was said to be given to me by the Cui family's sister as a concubine. My husband, you are not willing to wear it."
"So, I shamelessly went to find the sister of the Cui family and made a pair for you, please put it on and have a look."
"Madam..." Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel warm in her heart as she looked at the wife in front of her whose youth was passing away.
After putting on the glasses, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel a slight soreness in her nose as she fiddled with the smooth abacus with her fingers.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Lu noticed her husband's strange behavior, came closer and sat down and asked softly.
Fang Xuanling calmed down, held his wife's hand, and straightened her loose hair.
Looking at this wife who has been with him for many years, she speaks softly and authentically.
"It doesn't matter, I just feel that with this thing, my wife's appearance has become clearer, just like the way I looked when I first saw you..."
These words made Lu, who was already in her forties, show a rare shy look. She glanced at her husband and looked out of the hall nervously.
"Husband, what are you talking about?"
"My husband, these words come from the bottom of my heart and are definitely not lies..."
Fang Xuanling said with a smile, but a pair of glasses suddenly appeared on his face, which looked a little out of place.
Under the orange light in the hall, the couple's figures seemed to gradually merge...
Outside the house, the housekeeper Fang Shen secretly took a peek, and couldn't help but feel happy after seeing clearly what was going on inside.
When I saw a maid bringing dishes and trying to barge in, I quickly raised my hand to stop him.
Let the master and his wife have some time alone. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether they eat earlier or later.

In Taixue, a group of Taixue students were discussing.
"Have you heard? Cheng's University will start on the first day of September. Should we go and ask for advice?"
"Going to ask for advice? I told you, classmate, there must be something wrong with your brain. You don't want to think about who runs Cheng's University."
"If you want to cause trouble on the territory of their notorious old Cheng family, tsk tsk tsk, I admire your courage, classmate."
"Go ahead, but before that, classmate, if you have anything to say, you can tell us in advance.
For example, if you have any belongings, you can leave them to me for safekeeping in case anything happens to you, classmate..."
"……Enough!"
"We're not going to break up and fight, so why don't we go over to watch the ceremony?"
"I went there to enjoy the scenery of Cheng's University and learn a thing or two from the students of Cheng's University."
"Could it be that Cheng Taichang can beat us out because of this?"
"But what if they simply don't let us in?"
"If we are not allowed in, then..." The Taixue student who had been talking very excitedly just now was speechless for a moment.
"Could it be said that we, the five hundred students of our Taixue Academy, will not avenge the humiliation suffered by him, Cheng Sanlang?"
"Retribution is necessary, but in my opinion, the time has not yet come."
The student with the most authentic Guanzhong accent in Taixue shook his head and said authentically.
"Yes, everyone, it doesn't have to be like this. What if Cheng Taichang established a private school?
It’s just a bunch of poor people who can’t even hire famous teachers.”
"I heard that they invited a Weicheng family member and a Hanzhong family member who had won the election twice and failed twice."
"They are just a bunch of unknown people. How can they compare to the gentlemen of our Imperial Academy?"
"Two unknown people, one is the unlucky guy who failed twice in a row.
What kind of disciples such a person can teach is a joke..."
"In addition to two people teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, I heard that there are more than ten teachers teaching various miscellaneous subjects.
Either they teach medicine, they teach music, arithmetic, etc."
"Perhaps in Cheng Taichang's eyes, the students he teaches are only suitable for working as accountants and playing musical instruments..."
Hearing such explicit and implicit sarcasm, all the Imperial College students couldn't help but laugh out loud.
They were so angry at Cheng Taichang before that they felt like they had won the battle and had taken revenge.
"It's a shame they have the audacity to call it Cheng's University. It's better to call it Cheng's Miscellaneous Studies to live up to its name..."
A group of Taixue students chatted for a long time. Although they wanted to make a scene, they finally considered the bad character of the Cheng family.
In the end, I had to give up the plan angrily, but with the help of their venomous words.
However, within the Chang'an cultural circle, it was firmly established that Cheng's University was just a place to learn non-mainstream miscellaneous studies.
In this era, miscellaneous studies refer to various academic subjects other than the Four, Five and Five Classics, whether it is medicine, music, art, or even mathematics.
They will all be despised by those scholars, in the eyes of those scholars who read the Four Books and Five Classics all day long.
Only those who have read the Four Books and Five Classics are superior people. Those who have read other academics, even if you are literate, even if you understand the Four Books and Five Classics, you are still inferior to us...

On the first day of September, the weather was fine and the chrysanthemums were in full bloom. His Royal Highness the Prince put on the attire of a rich boy and wore a gauze hat.
Surrounded by a group of guards, he quietly left the East Palace through the Xuande Gate at the north end of the East Palace and headed out of the city.
At about the same time, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, dressed as a wealthy businessman and gentry, was surrounded by Zhao Kun and other guards.
He quietly left the palace city through Anlimen, one of the three gates to the north of the palace.
Li Ke, who had been waiting outside Anli Gate for a long time after being ordered by his biological father, quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Li Shimin lifted the bamboo hat on his head and nodded slightly towards Li Ke. "No need to be polite, let's go, don't miss the start of school."
Li Ke agreed honestly, and followed his father closely on horseback, heading east directly.
At the same time, Cheng Chubi had arrived at the university campus early and was directing the school security guards and school workers who had been transferred from the Cheng family's servants.
Banners were hung high throughout the school, and plaques were also hung outside every classroom.
The contents on the plaque and the banners are not complicated. They are quotes from various celebrities that Cheng Chubi has memorized in his mind. Most of them are famous Chinese and foreign education experts in the education system.
From Confucius to modern times, whatever Cheng Chubi thought was suitable, he would hang it on.
Anyway, since these things are in my mind, it means that God is happy to spread this knowledge in this era.
Just when Cheng Chubi was waving and those people were hanging banners and plaques, Fang Jun finally came on horseback.
"I've seen Brother Chu Bi, but why don't I see Brother Weide?"
Cheng Chubi returned the salute to Fang Jun, glanced at the campus, which gradually looked like the beginning of a ceremony, and answered casually.
"I don't know if that guy is too tired at night, so don't pay attention to him."
