In the early morning of the next day, all well-known businessmen in Jiangdu Prefecture were invited to Yangzhou Restaurant by officials from the Street Department.
A total of hundreds of businessmen gathered in a large room on the third floor.
Everyone voted and the Street Department officials counted the votes and finally elected eight business leaders.
Eight people including Shen Wansan, Cai Heng, Zeng Sihai, Bian Ying, and Wei Yuan were selected to participate in the enthronement ceremony.
In addition to the eight business leaders, there are also 16 farmer leaders, eight clerical leaders, and eight worker leaders. In addition, almost all people from various industries such as folk arts, medicine, and fisheries have selected candidates to participate.
The list soon came to Zhang Yangquan. As he was flipping through it, Qin Lingsi suddenly walked in from outside the door.
"Brother-in-law, I'm here to report to you on the situation in Jeju Island!"
Zhang Yangquan raised his head and said: "Zhao Desheng has sent someone to report. I heard that you have rescued most of the horses. Although some of them cannot fight, they can breed!"
Qin Lingsi snorted and said, "He moves really fast!"
Walked to Zhang Yangquan and glanced at the list on the table.
"Brother-in-law, what is this? Why are there the names Liu Wu and Deng Qi on it?"
Zhang Yangquan explained: "These are leaders from all walks of life. Liu Wu and Deng Qi are both leadership representatives of farmers and can participate in this enthronement ceremony!"
Qin Ling thought "Oh", glanced at the table, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, have you finished processing all the official documents today?"
"It's almost done, what's wrong?"
Qin Lingsi walked up behind him and squeezed his shoulders.
"In that case, come and play with me in the city. Something interesting will happen in the city today!"
Zhang Yangquan felt so comfortable being squeezed by her that he narrowed his eyes and said, "What's so interesting?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "I won't tell you yet, but as long as you go and take a look, you will know who is the richest person in our Jiangdu Prefecture!"
Zhang Yangquan's curiosity was aroused and he agreed: "Okay, let's go to the back house first and talk to your sister."
Qin Lingsi waved her hands repeatedly: "No, sister is going out!"
"Where did she go?"
Qin Lingsi said casually: "I went to see my uncle and the others!"
Zhang Yangquan was surprised: "What uncle, why have I never heard of him?"
Qin Lingsi walked up to him and said seriously: "Brother-in-law, we were just about to tell you about this matter. In fact, since the year before last, many relatives in our family have come here."
Zhang Yangquan was stunned for a moment, then woke up.
Qin Lingjun's father is a fourth-rank official, and there must be many people in the family. It is normal for these people to come to visit the Qin family sisters when they learn that they are famous."
It's a pity that I was too careless and never thought about this matter.
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
Qin Lingsi curled her lips and said, "Most of these people are distant relatives, and we don't remember them at all. They say they are relatives, but who knows?" Sister then placed them in Longtan Village and sent people to investigate their identities.
”
Zhang Yangquan nodded and asked: "Is the investigation clear?"
Qin Lingsi snorted: "I get angry when I mention this. Six of the eight relatives are fake and we drove them away."
"So, is it true that there are two families?"
Qin Ling thought 'hmm' and said, "The family is relatives on my father's side. Speaking of which, we want to call our third cousin uncle."
"The other family is a relative on my mother's side. According to the genealogy, we have to call my cousin uncle."
Zhang Yangquan frowned and said: "Since you have confirmed your identity, why didn't you tell me?"
Qin Lingsi pouted and said, "It was my sister's idea. She said that since these relatives have come to seek refuge, it would be fine to settle them. There is no need to increase the burden on you."
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "How can this be considered a burden?"
Qin Lingsi crossed her arms and said, "If you knew about them, you would definitely meet them. Then everyone in the city would also know about them. Why don't you try your best to fawn over them and cause you trouble?"
Zhang Yangquan was startled, and felt warm in his heart. Qin Lingjun obviously did not want to form a family influence and embarrass himself.
"Okay, don't think too much, let's set off quickly, it's almost time now!" Qin Lingsi said, holding his arm.
Zhang Yangquan stood up, returned to the back house, changed into regular clothes, chatted some more, and left the palace with Qin Lingsi through the side door.
It's March in spring, the sky is bright, and because the coronation ceremony is approaching, the streets are busier than usual.
Zhang Yangquan walked along Minghu Street and came to a stone bridge, where he saw many vendors selling vegetables under the bridge.
The varieties are all cabbages, radishes, Persian dishes, etc. he brought. After several years of competition, the dishes he brought have become mainstream among the people.
Qin Lingsi pulled him over and after asking, she learned that the price of cherry radishes had been reduced to ordinary vegetables, so she immediately bought ten of them.
The two of them ate while walking, and Qin Lingsi bought a lot of snacks along the way.
After a while, the two turned into a street, and after walking a short while, they came to the outside of a large house.
There was an endless stream of people coming in and out of the door. Zhang Yangquan asked Qin Lingsi and learned that this was an official dental shop.
Zhang Yangquan's heart moved and he said: "Is that the interesting thing you said is in it?"
Qin Lingsi winked and said with a smile: "Yes, brother-in-law, how about we make a bet?"
"What to bet on?"
Qin Lingsi glanced left and right on the street, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a fortune-telling stall in the distance.
She ran over quickly and said a few words to the fortune teller.
The fortune teller stood up, took off his robe and hat, took a piece of silver from Qin Lingsi's hand, and left with a happy face.
Zhang Yangquan saw Qin Lingsi waving to him, so he walked over and said angrily: "What are you doing again?"
Qin Lingsi pulled him to sit down on the fortune teller's chair, while she sat down on the fortune teller's chair.
"Hurry up and put on your fortune teller's clothes and hat. Let's sit here. I'm sure you'll see many acquaintances later. I'll tell you the content of the bet then!"
One of them pretended to be a fortune teller, and the other pretended to be a fortune teller, carefully observing the people going into and out of the dental clinic.
Not long after, I saw a luxurious red-painted carriage driving over.
Qin Ling thought happily: "Here comes one!"
Zhang Yangquan looked towards the carriage and saw a few people getting off the carriage. One of them had a dignified appearance and a smile, and it was Cai Heng.
Standing side by side with Cai Heng is a young man with an ordinary appearance. Although he is wearing a brocade robe, he does not have the temperament of a rich kid like Cai Heng. There is also a somewhat depressed look on his face.
Qin Ling was stunned and murmured: "Why is it him?"
Zhang Yangquan asked: "Who is it?"
Qin Lingsi was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled, stood up and pulled Zhang Yangquan and said: "Brother-in-law, I'm hungry, let's go eat!"
Zhang Yangquan said solemnly: "Who is that person?"
Qin Lingsi felt timid when she saw his serious face.
"The person next to Cai Heng is my distant cousin, Qin Lian." She whispered.
Zhang Yangquan looked towards Qin Lian and saw him and Cai Heng standing at the door talking. They didn't seem to want to go in yet.
At this moment, Qin Lian seemed to have seen the fortune-telling stall and walked over here.
Qin Lingsi was surprised. Although she put on makeup, she was not like Qin Lingjun who disguised herself as a man when she went out, so she might still be recognized by Qin Lian.
In a hurry, he quickly took out a silk scarf from his sleeve and tied it on his face.
As soon as she tied it up, Qin Lian came over.
Fortunately, Qin Lian didn't come here for her. When he saw that the booth was occupied, he stood behind and waited without paying much attention to Qin Lingsi's appearance.
Cai Heng chased after him and asked with a smile: "Brother Qin, do you also want to tell fortunes?"
Qin Lian looked gloomy and said: "Let's do the math. My cousin is very selfless. I'm afraid that this ennoblement will not benefit our old Qin family!"
Qin Lingsi raised her eyebrows when she saw him slandering her sister behind her back. Just when she was about to have a seizure, Zhang Yangquan suddenly coughed.
"Girl, your fortune has been calculated. Please give up your seat to other guests!"
Qin Lingsi snorted, stood up, and stepped aside.
Qin Lian walked over and asked Zhang Yangquan: "Master, are you reading faces or palms?"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "It depends on what the guest wants to do!"
Cai Heng looked at Zhang Yangquan. At this time, Zhang Yangquan was equivalent to Qiao Zhuang twice. Cai Heng rarely saw him, so he didn't recognize him.
Qin Lian said in a deep voice: "Can you calculate my future fortune?"
Zhang Yangquan nodded: "Then just look at the face. I observe that the guest has a smooth face, a bright forehead, and a short distance between the nose and eyes. He should have a safe and long life!"
Qin Ling was secretly amused when she heard Zhang Yangquan's nonsense.
Qin Liandao: "I'm not asking about how long my life span will be, but about my future and wealth. Do you think I have the fortune to inherit the title?"
Zhang Yangquan shook his head and said: "It's a pity that you don't have such a destiny!"
Qin Lian was furious and said to himself: "I knew she wouldn't win a title for our family!"
Seeing Zhang Yangquan's categorical words and his indescribable majesty in his words and deeds, he felt that he was a master, so he didn't dare to be rude to him, so he took out five taels of silver from his pocket and put it on the table.
