the next day.
Fu Liqing met Zhao Mingya and told her what Fu Chengwang had agreed to.
"Really? Qing'er, thank you so much. I must go back and tell my family the good news." Zhao Mingya said happily while hugging Fu Liqing.
The Zhenbei Marquisate was founded on military power, so he was a military general, while the Daqi Dynasty controlled the military with civil power, so the civil power was strong and the military was weak, so Zhao Jingzhou always hoped that there would be a civil official in his family.
Now that Zhao Chenhan has Fu Chengwang as his master, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is also half a civil service group, which is of great benefit to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Fu Liqing looked unhappy and said, "You go ahead. I need to go out for a while too."
"Come with me, and let Chenhan thank you properly." Zhao Mingya didn't forget to introduce Zhao Chenhan.
"No, I have something else to do." Fu Liqing refused.
Zhao Mingya didn't force it and left happily.
Fu Liqing got on the carriage and came to Zhao Lin's dilapidated courtyard. The more he looked, the angrier he became.
I already have five hundred taels of silver, can't I ask a master for some advice?
If you don’t have enough money, won’t you borrow from me?
Fu Liqing pushed open the gate angrily and saw Zhao Lin practicing martial arts with his upper body naked, wearing only shorts under his crotch.
Fu Liqing's pretty face flushed, and she quickly turned around and asked angrily, "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Zhao Lin was amused. While getting dressed, he asked, "Why is Miss Fu here?"
After Zhao Lin finished putting on his clothes, Fu Liqing turned around and said, "I heard that you didn't do well on the exam and handed in your paper early. I came to check on you. I'm glad you're okay."
Zhao Lin was touched.
Upon learning that he had submitted his paper early, some people came under the guise of visiting him, but in fact they were there to make fun of him.
Only Fu Liqing cared about him sincerely.
Zhao Lin said, "I handed in the paper early because I had finished it and didn't want to waste time sitting down. It's not that I don't know how to write."
Fu Liqing sighed, "What's the difference?"
Zhao Lin knew that it would be useless to say anything without waiting for the results, so he smiled and said, "I haven't been affected yet, why are you so unhappy?"
"Because of you, I lost the bet. I want to introduce Ya'er's younger brother to my father as a student."
Fu Liqing said, "Lord Zhao approached father once before, but father was unwilling to accept him. Now I have lost the bet, and in order to prevent me from breaking my promise, father has no choice but to accept him. I estimate that he will become his disciple in a few days."
Fu Liqing said bitterly, "I was hoping Dad would take you in as his apprentice, but now that's all gone. You still have the mood to practice martial arts? Go learn policy essays right away and get a first place on the exam next year, or I won't be able to feel good!"
Zhao Lin frowned: "Did you make a bet with Zhao Mingya?"
Fu Liqing said dejectedly, "Yes, I bet you can get the first place in the three cases. If you win, you can get the night-shining pearl given to her by the palace. If you lose, let my father take her brother as his apprentice."
Zhao Lin smiled bitterly: "First in the third case, you really think highly of me."
Fu Liqing sighed and said, "I thought you could do it with your talent, but who knew you were so clueless about policy. It was my mistake. I should have warned you if I had known you didn't have this experience."
Zhao Lin laughed and didn't tell Fu Liqing the truth.
If I fail to get the first place in the case, she will be disappointed again.
"You need a teacher to teach policy essays. I'll find one for you," Fu Liqing said. "I happen to know a few students who have just passed the imperial examinations, and I can use their experience to guide you."
"No, no, I can't let you owe me a favor. Tell me who to invite and I'll go and invite them myself." Zhao Lin quickly refused.
"None of your business." Fu Liqing waved his hand. "It's settled."
The so-called coincidental acquaintance actually meant that they were Fu Chengwang's students and Fu Liqing's senior brothers, and one of them was Fu Liqing's biological brother, who would give her this face.
"Miss Fu, you are so caring. I really don't know how to repay you." Zhao Lin said gratefully.
Fu Liqing coughed dryly and said, "Don't think too much. I'm just angry with Ya'er. It has nothing to do with you."
"Yes, I was just angry and didn't think too much about it." Zhao Lin said with a smile.
Fu Liqing came and left quickly, and left as soon as he finished speaking.
"Brother Lin, Miss Fu is so nice to you." Zhang Dashan said.
"It's the hardest to accept the favor of a beautiful woman!" Zhao Lin sighed.
…
When Zhao Mingya returned home and told the story, the whole family was very excited.
Han Yuehua was overjoyed and said, "My dear daughter, you have accomplished what your father failed to do. That's great. The farm outside the city, the one with the horses, will be your dowry."
Zhao Mingyu's expression suddenly changed.
Zhao Mingya said happily, "Really? Didn't Daddy say he would give it to Zhao Lin?"
"Is he worthy?" Han Yuehua said disdainfully. "The provincial exam is so easy, and he came out before lunch. What kind of poetry? It's a joke. Fortunately, we don't know his identity, otherwise we would all be embarrassed. If your father knew, he would definitely not give it to him again."
"Thank you, mother." Zhao Mingya said happily.
The horse farm is very rare. Not only do it have dozens of fine horses, but the farm is also large, so in addition to raising horses, it can do other things, and it brings in a considerable income every year.
That's why Zhao Mingyu was jealous of Zhao Lin.
But he didn't expect that Han Yuehua would casually give it to Zhao Mingya.
"I'll go tell Chen Han the good news."
Zhao Mingya ran away in a hurry.
Zhao Mingyu couldn't help but say, "Mom, you once said that the farm where the horses are raised would be used as my dowry."
Han Yuehua said disapprovingly, "You two sisters are still different from each other. Isn't it the same whether it's given to you or to her?"
"That's different," Zhao Mingyu said. "If I give it to her, I won't have a share."
Han Yuehua's face turned serious and she scolded, "What do you mean you don't have a share? They all belong to the mansion. I can give them to whoever I want. If you make any contribution, I'll give them to you too."
