Chapter 90 The Destitute Second Master Qin
More than a dozen people in Meng Dashuan had their heads shaved. This shame cannot be easily forgotten.
Qin Chuan suppressed his revenge and Meng Dashuan decided to secretly make trouble for Lin Qianqian.
As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark.
I can always find a chance to blackmail her.

Lin Qianqian has been riding a horse on the street frequently recently.
As a result, the brutality of officers and soldiers was restrained a lot.
After all, Beiyue City’s boss Qin Chuan said that the officers and soldiers should avoid the enemy’s sharp edge first.
Originally, I would encounter officers and soldiers at least 10 times a day, collecting all kinds of exorbitant taxes and fees. Now, I only encounter them once a day, or maybe not even once.
"Look, Captain Lin is here."
"Thanks to Captain Lin for curbing those hateful officers and soldiers, we can now do business smoothly."
"Captain Lin is our great benefactor."
The people were so happy that they finally didn't have to be forced to live by the soldiers.
Everyone knew that it was Captain Lin's achievement.
In the eyes of the people, Captain Lin is the patron saint of Beiyue City.
So wherever Lin Qianqian rode her horse, people would greet her warmly, some would give her fresh eggs, and some would give her dried fruits.
Beiyue Pass is unprecedentedly prosperous.
When guests from other places come, they have to pay for food and accommodation.
Taking advantage of the large number of guests from other places, people started small businesses to earn some money to make a living.
In previous years, a large number of people would freeze to death or starve to death in winter. This year, everyone has earned a little money, so they don’t have to starve or freeze to death. The miserable lives finally have some hope.
Everyone's heart was filled with gratitude.
I am grateful to Lin Qianqian and also grateful to a series of Silver Moon shops.
The Yinyue shop attracted so many customers from other places, allowing everyone to make some money.
"It's all thanks to the owner of the Silver Moon Shop. I heard that Captain Lin also has a stake in it."
"I heard that the Silver Moon Teahouse has masterpieces by the painting saint, which attracts many distinguished guests from other places."
"There is also a shop selling moisturizing cream, which has also attracted many distinguished guests from the capital. The maids and servants all flock to the moisturizing cream shop."
"I heard that those are all Jiang family's assets. Jiang family is Lin Qianhu's maternal family, and Lin Qianhu has a stake in all of them."
I saw that the group of people who came from Beijing to buy moisturizer were almost leaving.
That’s a huge group of people. Each of the wealthy families sent over ten maids and servants.
The common people really hope that Captain Lin can keep those people.
Early in the morning, the south gate of Beiyue City was very crowded with maids and servants who were leaving the city and returning to Beijing.
Mother Sun was also among them. There were eleven people coming from the small Lin Mansion alone. It was conceivable that there must be even more people sent by other powerful families.
Hongdou took a red notice and posted it inside the city gate.
"The Ice Sculpture Garden will be open to the public for free for three days starting today. Everyone is welcome to visit for free."
Ice Sculpture Garden? The name sounds very attractive.
Most of the old women from the capital were servants of wealthy families. They had high standards and liked to join in the fun.
So they started whispering to each other.
Mother Sun had heard a long time ago that Miss Qianqian was tinkering with some ice sculptures and had always wanted to take a look, but the area was surrounded so tightly that she had no chance.
Now that the opportunity had finally come, Mother Sun quickly encouraged the wealthy maids from the capital who were traveling with her: "We have come all the way to Beiyue City, it would be a pity if we don't take a look at the Ice Sculpture Grand View Garden."
Everyone thought it made sense, so they turned around with Grandma Sun and headed towards the Ice Sculpture Garden.
There were a lot of people queuing at the South Gate to leave the city, but after hearing the news, they all turned around and went back.
When we got there, we found the line was too long.
Ordinary people have a herd mentality and think that the more people there are in the queue, the rarer it is.
Mother Sun: "Look, look, there's such a long line. What does this mean? It means that they are looking for a job."
Mrs. Liu from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion was very curious. She tilted her head to look inside the gate, but saw nothing. She felt itchy in her heart and wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly in.

At the same time, the second son of the Qin family was cut off from financial support.
Qin Chuan and his wife felt that the second son spent too much money. He had spent more than 100,000 taels of silver in less than a month, so they simply stopped paying the second son money.
As a result, the second young master Qin no longer had the ability to spend money at the Yinyue Teahouse.
In order to continue admiring the Five Horses Painting in the Yinyue Teahouse, he decided to find a way to make money.
Then I saw the job recruitment information posted outside the teahouse.
We recruit people who are good at painting to come to the Ice Sculpture Grand View Garden to paint for guests. Each painting is sold at one or two taels of silver, and they can take half a tael of silver as compensation, and the money is paid on a daily basis.
Such a good job! Such good pay, I must do it.
The second son of the Qin family successfully passed the recruitment examination in the teahouse.
Jiang Yueying handed a simple work card to Mr. Qin Er, "Congratulations to Mr. Qin Er for passing the exam. With this work card, you can enter the Ice Sculpture Grand View Garden without queuing."
Young Master Qin walked outside the Ice Sculpture Garden and found that there were huge crowds of people. The more guests there were, the easier it was to make money.
As long as his hands are quick, he will definitely make a lot of money. When the Ice Sculpture Garden closes at night, he will receive the money.
Although the line was extremely long, Master Qin Er, as a professional painter hired by the Grand View Garden, did not need to queue at all and could enter directly.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw the ice sculptures in the garden and was stunned.
People who like painting are particularly interested in all beautiful things and would like to depict all the beautiful scenery in the world with their brushes.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Young Master Qin was shocked by the first ice sculpture he saw.
Standing before him was a colorful phoenix.
This phoenix is as tall as two people, with an exquisite crown of feathers. You can even see every colorful feather on the phoenix.
The overall look of this ice sculpture is mysterious and noble. At first glance, it is definitely the king of birds, looking down upon all other beasts.
The first day of opening was very busy. Jiang Yueying volunteered to be the interpreter in the Grand View Garden. "Look at this phoenix. It looks crystal clear and colorful during the day. At night, when the lights are turned on, it will have a different mysterious beauty."
The second young master Qin just stood in front of the phoenix, in a daze for the whole day.
He was still in a daze until the lights came on at night, standing in front of the Phoenix ice sculpture, almost like a man waiting for his husband.
At night, just as Jiang Yueying explained, lighting the lights inside the ice sculptures creates a unique beauty.
She found that the second young master Qin stood in the same place all day long, without moving at all, looking more like an ice sculpture than an ice sculpture.
Jiang Yueying felt that as the boss, he had to have some authority, otherwise it would be troublesome if everyone was like the Second Young Master Qin who occupied positions but did nothing.
"Second Master Qin, I asked you to come here to work so that you can paint for customers and earn money. You came here for one day and you just sat there stupidly the whole day without doing anything."
I have never seen anyone more crazy than the second young master Qin.
In the past, the second young master Qin stayed in the Yinyue Teahouse, and he never moved day or night. He was really obsessed with the two paintings in the teahouse.
