Time flies and almost an hour passes.

The sun gradually rose to the sky, and the weather became very hot under the hot sunlight.

The lively dragon boat race has long ended, and a large number of people have dispersed one after another. There are fewer people on the pier, and the entire Sanjiangkou River Port is much wider.

The publicity activities of Zhao Qi, Chen Ji and others are almost over.

Although there are still many people watching, and there are even many people who have received news and come to see the promotional pictures, there are few people who have registered to see the house.

More than 20 people were registered and arranged for two carriages to be delivered. Most of them were riding on their own, which also saved Zhao Qi a lot of worry.

Because Wu Qian told Zhao Qi and Chen Ji not to leave, and there was something to ask, the two of them did not dare to go back, so they could only buy some drinks and sit under the eaves on the side of the road and waited in the stall.

According to the onlookers, the top three winners in the dragon boat competition are called the top scorer, the second scorer and the Tanhua have 100, 60 and 30 bonuses respectively. The top scorer's fleet will also be personally received by the prefect Chongguogong and will be given a banquet at Chunfeng Tower. This event will take about an hour.

Zhao Qi sucked a cup of Erchen Soup with wheat straw and chatted with Chen Ji. The remaining two young men from Maowan Village came to help and several prostitutes were drinking herbal tea and fragrant drinks. They sat or stood and listened to the two chatting, their faces full of respect.

Although Zhao Qi looks like an ordinary mountain boy and was a fool before, he has risen very quickly recently. Moreover, from planning to current publicity, the entire Xiaolongwan project has almost been planned by him. A group of people in Maowan Village have been with him for half a month, and now they are obedient to Zhao Qi's words.

It was not only Zhao Qi who outlined a happy future with a lot of money for them.

Moreover, Zhao Qi is slowly turning this beautiful scenery that sounds impossible to achieve into reality.

If there were any concerns and doubts at the beginning, including Yang Dayuan and Liu Store Manager Liu and others.

Judging from today's investment results, Zhao Qi's initial plan has successfully completed or even exceeded the goal.

In just one hour, more than 20 registered people and almost all of them have gone to Dawan Village. Even if only half of them are moved and half are taking action, this investment promotion task is completed.

Moreover, according to Zhao Qi and Liu Jiangui, there are more interested customers in Yanggongzhen Port, which was promoted by Manager Liu, who was personally led by Manager Liu. As long as there are about twenty merchants who pay deposits in the end, the Xiaolongwan Port project can be successfully promoted. The beautiful scenery on the huge publicity map in front of you will become a reality in the next one or two years.

In the Song Dynasty, the scholars most respected by the world were scholars.

Chen Jizi's identity made a group of prostitutes even more interested. They gathered around Chen Ji almost all day long to serve tea, water, and beat their shoulders and backs, and even grind ink to help.

Among them is Zhao Qi's generous work, the hard work that everyone always has on a daily basis, and the admiration for Chen Ji's knowledge. A scholar who may be awarded the title in the future is definitely a hot item. Moreover, the identity of the scholar is already prominent enough. Even if he fails the provincial examination, it is enough to go home to become an official in a prefecture and county. If he is hooked up and is favored by Chen Ji as a concubine, his future life will be bright.

"Take tread..."

A van turned from the corner of the street and headed straight for the bridgehead of Lingqiao. Then the groom put away the reins and stopped in front of the huge canvas with a sound. A middle-aged scholar wearing a soap robe and a square scarf got off the car. He looked around and looked at Zhao Qi and others, "Who is Zhao Dalang, Yanggong Town, and Guangzhou Juzi Chen Ji?"

Zhao Qi and Chen Ji looked at each other and stood up and said, "We are!"

"Two, please come with me to Lingjiang Pavilion, and the Duke of Chongguo will invite you!" The middle-aged scholar bowed indifferently.

"Thank you!" The two bowed their hands and replied. Zhao Qi turned around and told Donggua and others to pack up the booth and then take a few prostitutes back to Yanggong Town first, and then get in the car and leave.

It was almost noon, and the sun was extremely hot.

On the side of the Yongjiang River in the southeast of Yin County, there is a vast building called Sanjiang Garden.

There are green pines and cypresses, pavilions and flower pavilions in Sanjiang Garden, and there is also a pond covering an area of ​​about five acres, carrying lotus roots and water chestnuts. At this time, lotus leaves and fields are waving, and a five-story wooden building on one side of the river rises from the ground. The carved beams and painted roads are exquisite and magnificent, the moss is mottled on the bluestone steps, and a plaque is hung on the lintel, which reads three large characters of the dragons and phoenixes dancing in Lingjiang Pavilion. The brushwork is heavy but not ostentatious. A pair of mighty stone lions in front of the door are hidden in the fragrance of pines, cypresses, green bamboos and lotus flowers. The domineering spirit brings a bit of the unique leisure and tranquility of the Jiangnan gardens.

Although the sun is strong outside, the Sanjiang Garden is covered with shade and breeze. As soon as you step into it, you will feel the coolness and comfortable feeling.

On the tallest attic in Lingjiang Pavilion, Wu Qian had already changed into a regular dress and was sitting by the window drinking tea and chatting with a man over 50 years old. His expression looked very relaxed and leisurely.

"Report to Mr. Wu, Zhao Dalang, Yanggong Town, and Chen Ji, the son of Guangzhou, have been invited!"

With a slight footsteps, a servant walked up to the door to report.

"Oh, please!" Wu Qian put down his teacup and stood up.

The man opposite stood up in a little shocked manner and said, "I wonder what the two guests invited by Mr. Wu are, do you still need to greet them in person?"

"Haha, Xijian doesn't have to be confused. It's not because of its noble status, but today's dragon boat competition. I met a strange man at the pier and specially invited me to the mansion to talk to you!" Wu Qian said with a smile.

"Strange man? Could it be that Guangzhou scholar?" The man became even more confused.

"Haha, Xijian was wrong. The strange man I was talking about was a young man from Yanggong Town. You don't need to guess, you will know after a moment!" Wu Qian explained with a happy laugh.

"Okay, I'm free today on Dragon Boat Festival. I'll see what kind of strange man is that makes Duke Chong so interested!" The man nodded with his slightly gray beard.

This man, who is a little younger than Wu Qian, is Ye Mengding, the famous Qingyuan Mansion.

Ye Mengding, whose original surname was Chen, had his mother's family at the age of six. He changed his surname to Ye. He was from Yin County. He studied under Zheng Lin, a bachelor of Yu Longtu Pavilion. Later, he studied under Yu Zongzheng Shaoqing Zhao Fenglong. He was talented and intelligent. He never forgets everything. He entered the Imperial Academy in the fifth year of Shaoding. In the first year of Jiaxi, he participated in the palace examination and was awarded the title of the imperial examination. He was often awarded a foreign official as a Jinshi of the First Class of the First Class of the Imperial Academy and was well-known for his official position in various prefectures. Because his mother passed away and returned home for three years, he was now filial and honest in Yincheng. He was quite familiar with Wu Qian, the prime minister who was excluded by Ding Daquan. He often made an appointment with tea to discuss poetry and articles or the general trend of the world.
