Fifty thousand taels per family, that’s one hundred thousand taels!

It is equivalent to the income of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for three or four years.

It was given to Zhao Lin for free.

Zhao Chenhan's face twisted into a state of disarray when he thought of one hundred thousand taels of silver falling into Zhao Lin's pocket.

Han Yuehua doted on Zhao Chenhan so much, but she only spent two or three thousand taels on him every year, and no more than five thousand taels at most.

And the money Zhao Lin had was enough for him to use for twenty years.

How could Zhao Chenhan, who had always looked down on Zhao Lin, bear this?

I've only been away for a few days, how come that bastard suddenly got such a big benefit?

Zhao Chenhan forced a smile: "Big brother can make so much money, it's also big brother's ability. By the way, why do they give big brother so much money?"

"Because they're stupid."

It would have been fine if this hadn't been mentioned, but Han Yuehua got angry when it was mentioned: "Knowing that the rebellious son is very good at writing poetry, he actually dared to bet on this. Isn't this just giving away money for nothing?"

"Yeah, they are stupid." Zhao Chenhan gritted his teeth and forced a smile, "That's good. I was worried that big brother would suffer outside because he had no money. Now that he has money, it's good."

"Hmph, you worry about him, but he doesn't worry about you." Han Yuehua was very satisfied when she heard what Zhao Chenhan said.

This is the son he had personally raised. What kind of person is Zhao Lin? Apart from being related by blood, he's useless. He even dared to get angry with him. He should just die out there.

Zhao Chenhan was filled with resentment. He had only been away from home for a few months, yet such a big mistake had occurred, allowing Zhao Lin to get such a large sum of money.

Originally, the biggest problem restricting Zhao Lin was lack of money. He had Fu Liqing's support before, so he could barely survive. Later, the idiot Zhao Mingya lost a courtyard to Fu Liqing, and that was fine. Now, Bai Shicheng and Jiang Yichen, the two idiots among idiots, actually lost 100,000 taels of silver to him!

One hundred thousand taels!

It's not ten taels, nor is it one hundred thousand copper coins.

It’s a real 100,000 taels of silver!

Even for those wealthy people who are as rich as a country, this is a considerable sum of money.

It was given to Zhao Lin for nothing. Jealousy and resentment almost gnawed at Zhao Chenhan's heart.

There is no doubt that Zhao Lin became famous because of this incident.

In fact, Zhao Chenhan doesn’t care how rich Zhao Lin is, what he cares about is Zhao Lin’s reputation.

Once Zhao Lin attracts the attention of many people and someone discovers his identity, Zhao Chenhan will immediately become embarrassed.

No matter how outstanding he is, no matter how much Zhao Jingzhou and Han Yuehua love him, he is still an adopted son.

An adopted son is an adopted son. It's bad enough that the biological son is gone, but when the biological son comes back, he still loves the adopted son, abuses the biological son, and even drives the biological son out of the house and cuts off all ties. If he does such a stupid thing, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will immediately become a joke, and Zhao Chenhan will also become a joke.

In this kind of society, blood ties are the closest relationship; everything else, even godparents, are useless.

Therefore, what Zhao Chenhan feared most was that Zhao Lin would reveal his identity. The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion also cared about this, otherwise they would have sent people to capture Zhao Lin in a high-profile manner.

Zhao Chenhan asked tentatively, "I didn't expect that big brother's poetry is so good. Given time, it will surely become famous throughout the court and the country, and spread through the ages, letting everyone know that our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion not only produces military generals, but also talented people."

"Humph, what kind of talent is he?"

Hearing Zhao Chenhan say this, Han Yuehua snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Poetry is just a minor art, how can it compare to your strategies for governing a country. Study hard, and I will ask your father and son to invite several great scholars to teach you. You must make a splash in next year's palace examination and win the top spot, so that everyone will know you."

Han Yuehua raised her head and said with disdain, "Let Zhao Lin see the difference between him and you."

"Thank you, mother." Zhao Chenhan hurriedly thanked her, then said, "How about inviting a few gentlemen for my eldest brother? If we both pass the imperial examinations, it would be a great story, and mother would have face when she goes out."

Han Yuehua smiled and said, "You are truly my good son. Don't worry about him. As long as you become the top scholar, it will be the greatest honor for your mother."

Zhao Chenhan was naturally grateful.

Zhao Mingyu said from the side: "If Chen Han wins the top spot, he will be the youngest top scorer in our dynasty so far. I dare not say that there will be no one like him in the future, but there has never been anyone like him before. This is the greatest honor for our Marquisate."

Zhao Chenhan quickly said, "Fourth sister, please stop laughing at me. I'll be satisfied if I can get into the second class. I don't even dare to think about getting the top spot."

After the palace examination, the candidates were divided into three classes according to their scores. The first class had only three people, naturally the top scorer, the second scorer and the third scorer. The second class was composed of Jinshi, and the third class was composed of Tong Jinshi.

If he got the second place, he could at least be promoted to a seventh-rank official. Coupled with the connections he had with the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, it would be difficult for Zhao Chenhan not to become a high-ranking official.

So as long as he passed the imperial examination, Zhao Chenhan's future would be arranged.

"Second place is nothing, I must get first place and become the top scorer."

Zhao Mingya came in and said, "I made a bet with Sudi, the guy next to Zhao Lin, about whether he could win the first place in the imperial examination. If not, he has to pay me ten thousand taels of silver."

Zhao Chenhan was taken aback. "Fifth sister, why did you make a bet with Big Brother's friend? If he doesn't win, it's already hard enough. Wouldn't it be even worse if he loses money?"

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? If it's not good, then it's not good. It's his fault for disrespecting me. Besides, it's not him who pays. It's Sudi who is by his side. How can anyone who hangs out with him be a good person? It's a good opportunity to make him bleed." Zhao Mingya said.

Han Yuehua nodded and said, "Yes, teach him a lesson, let him know that even if he knows how to write poetry, it's useless. Han'er, you should learn from your sisters in this regard and not be so soft-hearted."

Zhao Chenhan smiled bitterly and said, "He is my eldest brother after all. He can disown me, but I cannot disown him."

Han Yuehua said comfortedly: "I am very happy that you have such an idea, but you must remember that you can only treat him well if he treats you well. If he treats you badly, then ignore him. A real man cannot be soft-hearted, otherwise how can he serve as an official in the future?"

Zhao Chenhan said respectfully, "Mother, I have learned your lesson. I will remember it."

"Yeah." Han Yuehua was even more satisfied.

Look, this is a good son who never disobeys his parents, unlike that rebellious son who insists on going against himself.

When he didn't understand the yuan, he knew he would regret it.

"Chen Han is back? Come here and let me see if you've lost weight."

Zhao Mingxiao and Zhao Mingyue heard the news and came over from their respective houses. They hugged Zhao Chenhan and felt heartbroken again.

The whole family is happy.

…

"You're too impulsive."

Wang Ziyao said to Su Di, "It's not that easy to get the title of Jieyuan. You're giving away ten thousand taels of silver for nothing."

Su Di raised his head and said, "Humph, it's only ten thousand taels of silver, what's that? I just don't like Zhao Mingya. She's the fifth daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, but she's worse than a whore. When Brother Zhao passes the imperial examination, we'll see if she still has the nerve to go out."

Wang Ziyao shook his head and said to Zhao Lin, "The martial arts exam is about to begin. Do you want to participate?"
