"Chen Jia, I can't imagine that you are so young, but your Go attainments are so profound, who did you learn from!"

"Grandpa Qian has won the prize, and Chen Jia's Go was taught by the master. But who the master is and what his name is, but he didn't tell me! ”

"Oh, then how did you meet him?"

"At that time, I was in the back mountain, I saw a man fainting on the ground, I fed him some mountain spring water, he woke up and gave him a piece of bread, he saw that I was kind-hearted, so he accepted me as an apprentice, and taught me some kung fu and knowledge." Chen Jia picked up what he could say and said it.

"Your master is not simple, how old is he?"

"Well, I didn't ask about this specifically, Master taught me for a while more than two years ago. I haven't seen it since, and I don't look young anymore! "Chen Jia said with a humble heart!

"Did I only teach you to play chess?"

"No, there is also kung fu, and I also taught some poetry and songs!"

"Can you perform the kung fu he taught?"

"No problem!" Chen Jia said and walked out to demonstrate the swordsmanship taught by Jiang Youchun. Lu Xiangyun and Qian Yongchang were surprised when they saw it, they didn't expect Chen Jia's kung fu to be so exquisite. The first time Cheng Dazhuang saw Chen Jia practicing this set of martial arts, he was also fiercely surprised.

"Did you say he was more than two years ago, in the fall?"

"Yes, in this way, it's been almost three years, and it was a double rush for rice!"

"More than two years ago, it wasn't him!" Old Man Qian seemed to have suddenly enlightened.

"Who?" Chen Jia was curious, could he know that it was Jiang Youchun?

Old Man Qian took Chen Jia back to the side hall and sat down. But he signaled that others didn't need to follow up! Everyone had to go back to the living room.

"More than two years ago, when the former emperor was seriously ill, the court was in turmoil, and the four major families began to look for a prince who supported him, and they all hoped that the prince they supported could become the emperor!" Old Man Qian opened his mouth and said, his voice was very soft, and he couldn't hear it clearly if he wanted to hear it outside.

"Oh, what about later?" For the first time, Chen Jia heard that there were four major families.

"At that time, the Sun family in the north supported the eldest prince, the Sun family's sphere of influence was Fancheng, the Yang family supported the second prince, and the Yang family's sphere of influence was Changcheng. The historians supported the Three Princes, and their sphere of influence was Shengcheng. ”

"Hey, prosperous, prosperous, prosperous, the other shouldn't be Rong!" Chen Jia blurted out.

"Yes, it is the Jiang family of Rongcheng, they are the key to determining the victory!" The expression on Master Qian's face was stern,

Chen Jia covered her mouth in surprise, thinking, "The Jiang family in Rongcheng!" Aren't you the descendants of the predecessors in the stone house? ”

"It is said that the iron family, the emperor of flowing water! These four major families have a long history, especially the Jiang family, there were ancestors who were the teachers of the emperor five hundred years ago, and the Shenghe Dynasty can have such a prosperous five hundred years, and the ancestors of the Jiang family have contributed a lot! Old Man Qian took a deep breath and said leisurely.

That should be the predecessor of the crossing.

"The iron-clad family? If they choose the wrong force, won't they be destroyed by the emperor who can be elected, where can there be an iron-clad family? Chen Jia said curiously.

"You're wrong, they're just backing them, and even if they jump to the surface, they'll keep the bloodline of the family. The four major families have a deep foundation, and they have been married to the emperor's family and the other three major families for generations, how can the emperor be destroyed if he wants? Even now, the Sun and Yang families are only greatly damaged, but they will not be wiped out. After Mr. Qian finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.

"Such a thing! But who is Grandpa Qian talking about? Chen Jia said curiously, how to talk about my master, talking about the four major families.

"It's the current Taishi, Jiang Qian!"

"Master, why did he come to teach me? You can't beat it with eight poles! ”

"Haha, Jiang Qian is full of economic wealth, not only understands astronomy and geography, the five elements gossip, is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has also learned a good martial arts. But the first emperor wanted to recruit him several times, but he refused to pay attention. said that he only likes to travel in the mountains and rivers and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world. ”

"That has nothing to do with me!"

"The Jiang family's sphere of influence was originally Rongcheng, but he appeared in Changxian more than two years ago, you must know that Changxian is the boundary of Fancheng, and you happened to meet your master at that time, do you say it is a coincidence?"

"That's a coincidence." Chen Jia thought to himself that it was no wonder that he met Jiang Youchun at that time, and his grandfather had also come to Changxian County, and the time he stayed should be the most fierce time!

"Haha, also, I was fortunate enough to see the Jiang family's swordsmanship once, if I remember correctly, your swordsmanship is really from the Jiang family!"

Chen Jia also grew up when he heard this, originally it was just a guess, but now it is a positive fulfillment, is Jiang Youchun the descendant who crossed the predecessors? What a pity! He was so close to the stone house, but he couldn't find the last traces of his ancestors!

"I didn't expect you to be Jiang Qian's apprentice! It's just that since he has become a prince, why didn't he come to you and take you to the capital? Old Man Qian was also a little puzzled, Jiang Qian had never taught outsiders in his life, except for his own children, but he just let Chen Jia have such a creation. Could it be that he and Chen Jia are really just a meal!

"Well, maybe it's because I'm stupid! Master thinks I can't do it! Ha ha! Chen Jia said embarrassedly.

"At that time, your master saw that the situation was not good, and thought that he was going to enter the imperial strife, so he left you! It's just unexpected, the first emperor failed to recruit him in his life! I thought he really had no intention of pursuing a career. Unexpectedly, he supported the three princes of the first emperor at a critical moment! It's a pity that he didn't be chic in the end! Old Man Qian sighed.

"Maybe he's too old to walk!" Chen Jia pretended to be relaxed and said.

This is a superficial idea, but it is also very practical! After all, you've studied with him for a while, so maybe what you're talking about is exactly what he was thinking at the time! However, now that you know that your master is a master, do you want to go to him? Old Man Qian looked at Chen Jia with a smile.

"Don't want to?" Chen Jia was crisp and did not hesitate at all!

"Why?" Old Man Qian didn't expect Chen Jia to refuse.

"If Master needs me, he will definitely come to me, and if he doesn't need me, won't I add trouble to Master and disciple if I go?" Chen Jia said casually. In fact, what I thought in my heart was, "Where does he recognize me as a little person, don't look back and blow it out!" ”

"You have a point, he will look for you if he needs you. I don't need you, you just work hard. There is a saying that gold will eventually shine! I'm sure you'll be glittering gold! Old Man Qian patted Chen Jia's head and comforted.

"Yes! If you bloom, butterflies will come! Chen Jia nodded, and said, "Does Grandpa Qian have any opinions about us going to participate in the food competition?" ”

"Well, if you bloom, butterflies will come! is worthy of Jiang Qian's apprentice! Old man Qian paused, sighed lightly, and sighed in his heart, "If you are old, you will be old!" If you don't accept it, you can't do it! ”

"This is the world of you young people, I won't follow it, as for the food competition, you young people make your own decisions! But you, if you have time to play two games of chess with the old man, I will be content! ”

"Okay, I'll be here to bother me when I have time!"

……

Chen Jia came out of Qian's house, and Cheng Dazhuang asked, "Nizi, what did you say to Old Man Qian in the side hall just now?" ”

"Dad, just now Grandpa Qian said that we young people have good ideas, this is our world, and we want to go to the capital to participate in the food competition!" Chen Jia didn't want to mention the master again, mainly because she was afraid of revealing her stuffing. After all, his swordsmanship was taught by Jiang Youchun, but other kung fu was learned from the cheats in the stone house, and the knowledge was learned in the previous life and read books in the stone house, so it can't be said that the master was the ancestor of the Jiang family five hundred years ago.

"Since Mr. Qian said so, you can go, but I don't worry about you going alone, why don't you go with your father?"

"Of course it's good for Dad to accompany me, in addition, I want to go to the capital this time, and by the way, I will buy a house and land in the capital, the rich fruit in the field has been sold, and now I have about 10,000 taels of silver in my hand, which should be enough!" Chen Jia thought to herself, she is still young, and it would be better to let Cheng Dazhuang come forward!

"Okay, if it's not enough, Dad will add the money from selling tofu, and let's get a tofu shop in the capital. Tofu is so good, people in the capital must like to eat it too! Cheng Dazhuang was also high-spirited.

"That's right, the tofu workshop is also going to be opened, then buy two houses, one to live in, and one to open a tofu workshop!"

"Ah, wouldn't it be too extravagant!"

"Haha, no, we have shares in the restaurant, we will have a lot of money in the future, it is better to buy a beautiful mansion first, and the province will always move around."

"Okay, then listen to us Chen Jia! Buy a big house! Ha ha! Dad never thought that he would be able to go to the capital one day! ”

"Really? Daddy has to think about it! In the future, you may be able to see the prince, the prince, the general, or something. Maybe there will be a princess's daughter-in-law and a general's son! Think about it now, don't be unable to adapt when the time comes! Chen Jia quipped.

"You can't talk nonsense, it's miserable to hear this! It's going to be a disaster! Cheng Dazhuang was very surprised.

"I'm just kidding! I won't say it in front of outsiders, don't worry! What Chen Jia didn't know was that the jokes she made now would really come true one by one in the future!

The Qian family and the Lu family found the participating chefs, from the next day, they set up a small kitchen at the old man of the Qian family to concentrate on studying the dishes of the competition, and Chen Jia only put forward suggestions, how to cook the bean products better and more strange, how to make the braised vegetables more distinctive, and how to roast the barbecue more charred and tender on the inside.

In addition, everyone is new to these new seasonings, how much to add is appropriate, and when to put it is particular, but there is also a harvest, that is, a lot of dishes have been studied. Added to the restaurant's menu. Since the restaurant's business has a new type of seasoning, it is full of people, and it has made a lot of money. Chen Jia also got more profits.

During this period, Chen Jia often went to Mr. Qian to play chess with the old man, the old man of the Qian family had stayed in the Hanlin Academy, and his knowledge was very unusual, and Chen Jia also benefited a lot!
