Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 762 Where is the road
After Zhao Chang finished writing that article, it was already afternoon.At this time, all the guests in the hall had already left, except for the two guards who dressed up as guests to protect him, only the servants of the Du family remained.

"Where's your young master?" He asked the servant of the Du family.

"In the courtyard of Zhuangzi."

Although the garden has been built, Du Jinning, who expected that the garden will be bustling in the future, will definitely not come here to live or work, but still stay in the small courtyard on the Zhuangzi.The small courtyard was arranged according to Du Jinning's wishes, and then repaired by the craftsmen of the Liang family. It was much more comfortable than before, and it happened to be her office.

The small courtyard is some distance away from the garden. If the guests in the garden have no urgent matters, the servants of Du's family will generally not lead them there to disturb Du Jinning.

But Zhao Chang's status is special, and Du Jinning had already ordered Yao Shuqi to take care of him carefully, so the servant of the Du family didn't dare to hide it.

When Zhao Chang arrived in Runzhou as a royal representative, Du Jinning immediately led him to visit her office and farmland, and watched the research on hybrid rice and the growth of early rice. It was a job description for the royal family.

So Zhao Chang knew the location of Zhuangzi's courtyard.

He also knew that Du Jinning was indulging in her small courtyard full of bottles and cans, doing research that he couldn't understand, and often forgot to eat.

He looked at the sky, resisted the urge to ask Du Jinning to share his article, and went to Lu Jiuyuan's yard.

It wasn't until it was almost time for Du Jinning to finish work and return to the city, Zhao Chang, who had been praised by Lu Jiuyuan, went to the small courtyard of Zhuangzi with a red face and worried about his splendid article.

"Here you come? Sit first." Du Jinning said in a white coat, doing something in her pile of bottles and jars without looking up.

Looking around, Zhao Chang seemed to have no place to set foot, so he retreated in defeat: "I'll wait for you at the porter."

The main rooms here, the east wing and the west wing, are all occupied by Du Jinning's more and more experimental equipment, leaving only one room in the east wing for lunch breaks.The only one who can sit for Zhao Chang is the porter at the inverted seat.

"I'll be there in a while." Du Jinning said without raising his head.

Zhao Chang didn't leave immediately, but stood there watching for a while.

As the saying goes, serious men are the most attractive.Zhao Chang didn't know this sentence, nor did he know that Du Jinning was not a man.But this does not prevent him from thinking that Du Jinning, who is wearing a white coat with a serious expression and a meticulous expression, is more beautiful than ever, as if the whole body is coated with a layer of fluorescent light, which is holy and fascinating.

Aoki who followed came in without urging, Du Jinning didn't know whether Zhao Chang had left or not, and was still immersed in her experiment.The room regained its original tranquility.

After a while, Zhao Chang turned around, gestured to Aoki, and walked out the door lightly.

Walking to the front of the corridor, he looked at the sky reflecting the sunset, his eyes were full of confusion.

Although he has a noble status, he is in a difficult situation and has to be cautious everywhere.Because of this, he envied many people, envied their freedom and unrestrained.

But no one can give him the shock that goes deep into his soul like just now, making him envious to the point of admiration.

He met Du Jinning three years ago. At that time, Du Jinning was just a young scholar. At that time, he knew that she had an ideal, to become a big farmer.

Later, step by step, she passed the provincial and general examinations, became the No. [-] scholar, entered the Imperial Academy, put forward a theory that shocked the whole court, and won the favor of the emperor Zhao Yu.All the insiders thought that she would be on the rise in the future, that she would be a minister, and that she had a bright future, but they didn't expect that she would retreat bravely at this time, and invited her to Runzhou to do her agricultural research.

She has been working hard towards her goal, and even though there are flowers blooming in the middle, she has not lost her eyes.She knows what she wants, works hard towards that goal step by step, and takes pleasure in it.

But what about him?
He is not stupid than others, and he is also well-read in poetry and books. He also wants to make some achievements like Du Jinning and leave his own trace in history.

But he was born with rich clothes and good food, and he can reach heights that ordinary people can't reach without struggling; he can't do what he wants to do.His only mission in life seems to be to eat and wait to die.

wait to die...

Thinking of these two words, Zhao Chang's mouth was full of bitterness.The article in his arms, which he thought he had written at the best level, was like a ball of fire, burning his heart and mouth aching.

What's the use of writing?What's the use of being famous?The more famous he is, the more he is suspected, the closer he is to death.

He had an urge to pull out that article and tear it up.

"Why are you standing here?" A voice came from behind him.

He turned his head, looked at the person who was walking towards him step by step in the halo of sunset, and asked in a shy voice, "Du Jinning, tell me, what's the point of my life?"

"This is exactly what I want to talk to you about." Du Jinning said.

She made a gesture: "Let's go, let's sit in the concierge." Then she apologized, "The place is narrow, so I can only humiliate the prince."

Zhao Chang was in a low mood, and he didn't bother to be polite to her, so he waved his hand and walked directly in front.

Because the living room was occupied, this concierge was specially used to entertain guests. Du Jinning specially asked someone to break through the wall during the renovation. The area is quite spacious, and the layout is no different from other people's living rooms.

Usually, as long as Du Jinning is here, this is where Aoki stays.When Du Jinning returned to the city at night, Zhuangzi would specially send two guards to patrol around to prevent anyone from causing damage.

The two sat down as guest and host, Qing Mu came up and poured tea, and then retreated, only Du Jinning and Zhao Chang were left in the room.

"Du Jinning, you mean, you have a way to help me?" Zhao Chang had a long reflex arc, and only now did he understand the meaning of Du Jinning's words just now.He stared at Du Jinning closely with his eyes shining with anticipation.

Du Jinning knew that as long as her words did not meet his expectations, the light in his eyes would dim until death.From then on, King Jing Zhao Chang will only be a walking dead.

A person has been sleeping, not knowing what his situation is, not knowing what pain is.And when he woke up, he saw that there were iron walls all around him. He couldn't get out, and others couldn't get in. He had to stay in this cage for the rest of his life.Then, his pain will instantly overwhelm him.

"It's not suitable for you to study Confucianism and make achievements in Confucianism." Du Jinning hit the nail on the head and pierced Zhao Chang's heart.

Zhao Chang was shocked, with a painful look on his face: "Yes, I know."

Confucianism is the temple that scholars yearn for.Those who have made great achievements in Confucianism and become great Confucians are all spiritual leaders of scholars.When they raise their arms and call out, scholars will gather in response.

But scholars are the pillars of this country, and all officials who serve the royal family are selected from among scholars.

As the emperor, is Zhao Wei willing to see his younger brother Zhao Chang, who can threaten his status, become the spiritual leader of his officials?the answer is negative.Once Zhao Chang couldn't see the situation clearly and wanted to find his own achievements in Confucianism, then he had become an existence that Zhao Hu had to get rid of.

Therefore, even though Zhao Chang loved Confucianism so much, he didn't delve deeply into it.He just showed that he likes it, and dare not write any articles or publish any related books.

"Tell me, what else can I do? Eat, drink and have fun, eat and die?" Zhao Chang wiped his face, wiped the moisture from his eyes, and said in a deep and authentic voice.

"Let me ask you first, do you want to make contributions and achieve a great career; or do you just want to have a goal to strive for and leave a mark in the history?" Du Jinning asked.

　The APP does not display the word count, which is quite troublesome.Let me explain here, more coins means more words.The amount of things you buy is different between spending ten yuan and spending 15 yuan.Because every time there are more words in a chapter, some people will ask questions and feel that it is more expensive than usual, so I will explain it here.
