Li Goudan was reading a book in the room.

His honest father wiped the left and right side of the room to help him clean up the room.

Occasionally, when you look up at Li Goudan, a very honest smile will appear on your face.

It seemed that this room was the holiest place for him, and could not tolerate any dust.

And Li Goudan is his greatest pride.

This honest farmer probably never thought that his child could make his mark at such an age.

Ten-year-old juren.

What is a Juren?

That's the master!

This was something he had never dared to think about before.

Not to mention the juren master, even the wealthy businessman Ma who took care of them many times was already a great figure in his heart.

Since his son passed the imperial examination, even Mr. Ma has become much more enthusiastic about them, and even wants to get his granddaughter and Goudan to get engaged.

In the past, Li Goudan's father certainly wanted this.

But now, I don’t dare to agree.

Li Goudan seemed to have grown up suddenly, and did something he didn't even dare to think about.

So he just said that Goudan will decide this matter in the future.

"Dongdong!"

Just as Li Goudan's father looked at Li Goudan and giggled, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the house.

Li Goudan looked up and looked at the door.

His father hurriedly said, "I'll go open the door, you can continue reading."

After saying that, he walked to the doorstep.

When I opened the door, there was a goatee-bearded old man with a warm smile but a little temperament on his face.

"Who are you?"

Li Goudan's father had no impression of this man and asked in confusion.

The person who came said, "Is this place where Mr. Li Zhaoen, a student, stayed?"

Li Goudan's father may not even understand the word "staying", but when he heard someone called his son the master, he immediately smiled.

There is too much pride in this smile.

He looked into the house and said, "Son, I'm looking for you."

Then he let go.

Li Goudan looked up at the door inside the house and stood up from the chair, "Where did you come from, senior?"

The goatee smiled at Li Goudan and said, "Mr. Li is polite. My master wants to invite you to the mansion for a break."

Li Goudan was slightly confused and looked at his father.

His father asked again, "Who dares ask which master is it?"

The goatee said, "It's not convenient to say that you will know after you go."

Li Goudan's father looked at Li Goudan and waited for him to make an idea.

Li Goudan pondered slightly and nodded at the end, "Then please lead the way!"

At his age, he often doesn't know how to reject people. Although he has a good knowledge, as Chen Wenlong said, he is still a innocent heart.

"please!"

The goatee reached out to the house, and then walked out with Li Goudan and his son.

When I left the inn, there were already sedan chairs waiting outside.

The goatee asked Li Goudan and his son to get into the sedan chair.

In the end, the sedan chair went to Chen Wenlong's mansion.

It's Chen Wenlong who wants to meet Li Goudan.

Obviously, this deputy state-owned officer in charge of economy developed a love for talent for Li Goudan, who is still young but has a deep understanding of economics.

The sedan chair did not stop until the Chen family's mansion.

The goatee's little old man asked the sedan chairmen to fall out of the sedan chair.

Chen Wenlong was sitting under the willow tree in the yard, next to the stone table.

As soon as Li Goudan and his son got out of the sedan chair, Li Goudan saw Chen Wenlong looking at him with a smile on his face.

This made his face look quite nervous and bowed: "Student Li Zhaoen has met the examiner."

He probably might not know Chen Wenlong's position in the court, but Chen Wenlong spoke in front of the candidates at that time, so the identity of the examiner must be true.

Li Goudan's father seemed even more nervous than Li Goudan. He actually knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Caomin has seen the master."

"Ha ha!"

Seeing the father and son like this, Chen Wenlong couldn't help laughing loudly.

The goatee-bearded old man who was actually a housekeeper also chuckled.

Then Chen Wenlong said, "No need to be polite. I invite you to come here just to speak in private, and there is no need to pay attention to these red tape."

As he said that, he waved to Li Goudan again, "Come on, come and sit down."

Li Goudan walked honestly to him and sat down, but he only dared to get half of the chair on his butt. His father just stood there.

Chen Wenlong didn't say much, just smiled and the two of them.

After a long time, Li Goudan and his son were even more restrained.

Li Goudan was young and could not help but look around secretly.

Chen Wenlong was the deputy state commander, and the house given to him by Zhao Dongting was not shabby. The pavilions, terraces, water pavilions were all dazzling and complex.

Seeing Li Goudan like this, Chen Wenlong suddenly smiled and asked, "How about this mansion?"

Li Goudan looked at Chen Wenlong with some restraint and said, "It's big, very big."

With the help of Mr. Ma, their family has now built a house in Maoming County, but it is just ordinary, and of course it is too far from Chen Wenlong's mansion.

Chen Wenlong laughed again when he heard this, "This is what the emperor gave to me."

When Li Goudan and his father heard the words "The Emperor", they immediately showed a look of surprise in their eyes.

Chen Wenlong pointed to the pastries on the table and said, "Come on, come on, eat some pastries."

Seeing Chen Wenlong being kind, Li Goudan couldn't help but be curious and asked, "I dare to ask, what official position is he in the court?"

This time it was Chen Wenlong's turn to be surprised, "Do you don't even know what position I am?"

Li Goudan lowered her head a little embarrassedly.

This look made Chen Wenlong laugh again. He was afraid that he would like Li Goudan more.

Then he said, "I Chen Wenlong is the deputy state order of the DPRK. Do you know the deputy state order?"

Li Goudan looked up and said, "You guy knows that the Deputy State Order is a senior member of the State Council. From a first-rank official, it is the State Order."

As he said that, he stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Wenlong and said, "Li Zhaoen has met Deputy State Councillor."

Then he looked at Chen Wenlong curiously, with envious expressions in his eyes.

Chen Wenlong was so experienced. He could see Li Goudan's expression and asked with a smile: "Little guy, you are just ten years old and are here to participate in the palace examination. I would like to tell me that you are participating in the palace examination, so why?"

Li Goudan said with a gaze: "I also want to become a high-ranking official in the court like this, the biggest official."

"oh?"

Chen Wenlong couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this, "Are you just participating in the palace examinations to be an official? Then, if you are an official, why?"

Li Goudan said shyly: "This, I have never thought about it yet."

"absurd!"

Chen Wenlong's face slightly calmed down, "If you only participate in the palace examination to be an official, will you become an official in the future just to satisfy your own desires?"

My original favorability for Li Goudan has been reduced a lot in this moment.

With Chen Wenlong's gentle nature, he must be because of his disappointment when he scolded Li Goudan like this.

Li Goudan was not yet the age to be able to observe his expressions and said a little aggrievedly: "But my dream is to be the biggest official in the world."

"Be the biggest official in the world!"

Chen Wenlong hummed softly, "Who taught you this? Even if you don't know why you should be an official, what is the use of being an official in the court, and the people?"

He only thought it was taught by Li Goudan's father, and even the look at Li Goudan's father was a little unkind.
