Chapter 116
Du Jianchuan chuckled, and shook his head slightly, "The officialdom is dangerous, and many things are not due to your doing."

He has been an official for decades, and he still hasn't escaped this calculation when he gets old.

Now that Shengshang is getting old, and several princes are fighting for power again, he is also affected by Chi Yu this time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to escape this time.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but what about the family members?

He sighed at the thought.

Seeing him like this, He Anwen couldn't help comforting him, "Don't be so pessimistic, maybe there will be a turning point."

After finishing speaking, he asked curiously, "By the way, old man, since you are good friends with the examiner, then your knowledge should be very good."

"Exactly, can you guide me? I want to know what's wrong with my article."

Then, without waiting for Du Jianchuan to answer, he clattered out all the things he had written during the rural examination.

After he finished speaking, he looked expectantly at the person in the next cell.

Seeing him like that, Du Jianchuan smiled, "I'm just a petty official, I may not be able to help you."

He Anwen looked indifferent, "Even if you are a small sesame official, you are still an official, and you have passed the Jinshi exam, right?"

"Help me, it's considered a good deed."

Seeing his eagerness for knowledge, Du Jianchuan was shaken in his heart.

Then he said slowly, "Your essay is too crafty and devoid of aura. The examiner won't like it."

"Do you know that each examiner has a different style, have you inquired about it in advance?"

"This year's chief examiner, Mr. Huang, is famous for his love of splendid essays. It's no wonder you pass the exam."

He Anwen immediately showed disappointment, and couldn't help but doubt himself, his writing is really that bad!

"Actually, it's not that bad. Your policy theory is not bad, and you have a few ideas that are not bad. If implemented, it can benefit the common people." After a while, Du Jianchuan said again slowly.

After hearing what he said, He Anwen became happy again in the next second, "Really? That's good! Prove that the article I wrote is not so useless!"

As long as he works harder, maybe he will win next time!

Seeing that he suddenly became hopeful again, Du Jianchuan thought this son was very interesting.

"Your problem is almost a common problem among poor students. The reason is very simple, because there is no famous teacher to teach you."

So this is why the imperial court has always been dominated by those aristocratic families, because they have always had the best resources, and it is simply as difficult for poor students to stand on the high ground.

Even if one can enter the imperial court, one's life is likely to be nothing more than a petty official, unless there is a special opportunity.

He Anwen didn't refute, but nodded, "You're right, old man, anyway, I can't get out now, and you're boring, why don't I ask you for advice!"

Seeing his longing look, Du Jianchuan chuckled, "How do you know I'm bored? I'm not bored."

He Anwen was at a loss for words for a moment, he didn't expect him to answer like this.

So in the end, he had no choice but to lean on the side to rest, and when he was bored, he picked up a stone to write and draw on the ground.

Du Jianchuan next door saw it and looked over curiously. After a while, he suddenly said, "Your handwriting is not bad."

He Anwen was overjoyed immediately, "Really? It's also thanks to my mother, she always speaks like a human being, she must practice her handwriting well, otherwise, a good-looking person can write ugly handwriting, how embarrassing it is!" .”

Thinking of his old lady's disgusted look at that time, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

But then he couldn't help but start to worry again, and a trace of longing flashed in his eyes.

"My mother said that if I can't get out all the time, she will go to court. I'm really worried." But now he can't get out, let alone report.

Du Jianchuan was very surprised when he heard this, "I never thought your mother would be so bold, and ordinary people would not dare." He was rather admirable.

"Yes! My mother is too worried about me." He Anwen couldn't help lowering his head.

"That's all, since we met each other by fate, then the old man can give you some pointers, it's up to you to remember how much you remember."

Seeing that he was willing to teach him, He Anwen was overjoyed and nodded hastily.

Soon, three days flew by, and during these three days, He Anwen had been absorbing what Du Jianchuan taught him. For him, these few days were really precious.

The same is true for Du Jian.

In his eyes, He Anwen is not a very smart person, but he has a very flexible mind and likes to infer other things from one instance, and the opinions he sometimes puts forward are also very special.

He sighed faintly, and said, "It's a pity that I don't have much time, otherwise I will definitely accept you as an apprentice and teach you well."

He Anwen couldn't help being excited when he heard what he said, which meant that he really wasn't without talent.

"To tell you the truth, I have benefited a lot in the past few days, and Xiaosheng is very grateful."

"Sir, if you have an unfulfilled wish, you can tell me. If I can go out, I will try my best to help you achieve it."

Du Jian glanced at him again in surprise, and suddenly thought of something in his heart, but when he thought about the difficulty of this matter, he finally shook his head, "It's still not necessary, the old man understands."

"Don't say that, tell me what it is first, I will help if I can, and I won't be brave if I can't." He Anwen looked at him eagerly again and asked.

For a moment, Du Jianchuan couldn't help but feel a little moved. After thinking about it again and again, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"This old man is Du Jianchuan, Minister of Honglu Temple. There is also a granddaughter and a grandson in my family. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that they will be implicated by me."

"If possible, please visit them for me after you go out, and tell them to live well."

"Honglu Siqing! From the third grade official!" Oh my god!He met a high official!I can't believe it.

Seeing him staring at him with rounded eyes, Du Jianchuan smiled, "You should know what Hongzhong Temple does, right? It's not an important position, and it can't be compared with that of the Imperial Academy."

He Anwen nodded again and again, staring at him without blinking, "Xiaosheng is a scholar after all, so he naturally knows what Honglu Temple does. It is mainly responsible for receiving foreign envoys, and is also responsible for court etiquette affairs."

Du Jianchuan smiled slightly, "That's right, that's true."

"But it's not right. In your position, no matter how much you can be wronged, you can't be wronged! Just because you are friends with the examiner?"

"If this is the case, wouldn't most of the people in the imperial court suffer disaster!" He Anwen felt that something was wrong, the matter must not be that simple.

Du Jianchuan looked at him with those deep eyes with a trace of vicissitudes, "It's better for you to know less."

"I, I'm not afraid, just tell me." He Anwen insisted.

"Oh? Are you really not afraid? Well, let me tell you." Just let him experience the dangers of the officialdom in advance, so that he will be more prepared in the future.
