Qian Hongxuan asked Han Jiang what was the most important thing he learned from Wu Yue Qian.

This question stopped Han Jiang.

What is the most important thing you have learned?

Whether it is knowledge, or morality, or the principle of doing things.

Han Jiang replied: "Please let the juniors think about it." ”

Qian Hongxuan nodded: "Don't worry, you think slowly, the old man cares about your answer this time." ”

"Yes." Han Jiang was really thinking about it very seriously.

The answer to this question is not an ordinary question in Han Jiang's view, it is asking about one's attitude, or one's own morality, or one's own ambition. This question seems simple, but it is actually a deep question.

Han Jiang closed his eyes and recalled the bits and pieces he had spent with his mentor.

The tutor not only taught me academic knowledge, but also taught me the principles of how to deal with people. But it is difficult to summarize all this into one sentence of what has been learned.

Suddenly, Han Jiang thought of a sentence.

Han Jiang stood up: "Gong Qian, I've thought about it." There is a saying, although it is not from my teacher. But I know that this sage is also a descendant of the Wu Yue Qian clan. I'm not sure if he said it himself, or if someone else summed it up for him. I would like to use this sentence to answer Qian Gong's question. ”

Qian Hongxuan also became serious, he didn't ask this question casually.

Qian Hongxuan spoke: "Speaking of which, what kind of sentence is it." ”

"It's not the same thing to have no sword in your hand and not use it with a sword."

A very simple sentence.

Han Jiang's answer was very serious, and Qian Hongxuan believed that Han Jiang had thought about it very seriously before answering.

Qian Hongxuan experienced this sentence very seriously, at first he thought it was said by a swordsman, but it was wrong to think about it, it felt very ordinary, but it made Han Jiang so serious, so where was the artistic conception of these words?

Qian Hongxuan's doubts, Han Jiang can understand.

People who have not experienced that layer of artistic conception do not understand the background of the sentence at that time, as well as the era at that time, ordinary people will not understand the inner meaning of this sentence.

Qian Hongxuan looked at Han Jiang, and he believed that Han Jiang could explain the deep meaning of this sentence.

But Qian Hongxuan didn't ask again, and stretched out his finger to point to the letter: "The letter to you, the day after tomorrow is the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, every year at this time, my Qian family's Meiwu Academy by the lake will invite guests to enjoy the plum." This is not an invitation. ”

Only then did Han Jiang open the letter.

It is true that it is not an invitation, but the letter explains that there are only two types of invitations, one is the elders of the famous scholars, and the other is the female guests of the women's college of the college. At this time, the students of the college have already gone home for the holidays, but the elders will bring the younger generations of the family, and most of them bring granddaughters or daughters, not men.

The outer courtyard is by the lake, and the inner courtyard is by the mountain, separating the two.

This is one of the most important gatherings for the girls of various families in Lin'an Province in recent years.

Therefore, this letter is Qian Xinyao's letter for help.

She wanted three things.

First, ask for a cake, enough cake for so many people to share when you enjoy the plum blossoms, at least one per person. Secondly, Qian Xinyao asked Han Jiang for the method of ordering tea for black tea. In the end, she asked for the other two of the three formulas.

After reading the letter, Han Jiang looked at Qian Hongxuan.

Qian Hongxuan shook his head: "The old man doesn't know the content of the letter. But when a woman delivers a letter to a man after nightfall, it is rude for someone who is not married. After finishing speaking, Qian Hongxuan thought for a while and said: "The old man can tell you that my father has a word, you can go to my Qian family to ask for marriage, and I will refuse you twice, not politely." ”

"It's just testing me?"

"Yes. However, in the first level, the old man will help you. ”

"Thank you, grandfather." Han Jiang's mouth is definitely sweet enough.

Qian Hongxuan didn't appreciate it: "It's too early, you have passed the second level, although you will not refuse the third level, it is not easy for your father to test your knowledge." If it's over, it's not too late. ”

Han Jiang pushed the letter over: "Look, your grandson, this is a tiger's big mouth." ”

Qian Hongxuan read the letter, his face was slightly embarrassed.

That's right, Han Jiang said that it is not too much for the lion to open his mouth at all, and it is impossible for ordinary acquaintances to make such a request.

A little bit of food is enough.

The opening requires the other two of the three formulas, which is indeed excessive.

Qian Hongxuan is preparing to withdraw this request on behalf of his granddaughter.

Han Jiang shook the rattle, Shen Congyi entered and stood with his hands down, Han Jiang walked in front of Shen Congyi: "Tell the kitchen of the East Courtyard to start preparing materials, a large number of materials." Tomorrow night, after the third watch, Grandpa Yi will work hard and secretly send the made dim sum to the Meiwu Academy in Qianfu, and then ask Yuan Lao if he can come here. ”

"Yes, Shaojun."

Shen withdrew from Yi Shili, and soon, Han Yuan arrived.

Han Yuan was very nervous when he saw Qian Hongxuan, he was the first seat in the west seat of the Han Mansion, but in terms of knowledge, compared to the one in front of him, it was like the difference between the pond and the West Lake. Not to mention that he has been an official at the level of the prefect, the one in front of him is the county prince of the royal seal.

Han Jiang said: "Yuan Lao, three major formulas. My future Taishan Gong is interested in studying it. ”

"To be able to talk to Qian Gongshou, Yuan Sansheng is lucky."

Han Jiang turned to Qian Hongxuan and said, "Taishan Gong, I don't really know how to play chess, so I asked someone to do it for me." ”

"Thank you, there is work." Qian Hongxuan returned the salute very politely, even if he was only facing Han Yuan, a high-ranking servant of the Han Mansion, he didn't put on a shelf.

Han Jiang Shili: "Taishan Gong, I will go to the east kitchen to order one or two, and then arrange for my maid to pass through the house before dawn." ”

"Yes, go ahead."

The title of Taishan Gong was completely created by Han Jiang. But it can make people understand, the father-in-law is called Taishan, and the father-in-law and his father are called Taishan. Qian Hongxuan believed that when Han Jiang came to his father, he still dared to call Taishan Taigong.

Even if I haven't admitted this family affair yet.

However, Qian Hongxuan was very aggrieved.

His granddaughter is really not polite, and what she asks for is not something that money can buy at all.

The cake, I heard that the cook in the palace baked it is not authentic.

The food of the lady and the mother is still sent to the palace by the Han government.

I don't know if Han Fu left a hand, and no one dares to ask.

What's more, there are these three formulas.

However, Han Jiang promised to give, and he would not refuse again, he had seen the review of his granddaughter's father's game, and he knew that his father still cared about these three formulas.

In the east courtyard of the Han family, the cooks have already fallen asleep, and there is an order from Shaojun to come down, the cooks are not nervous, what is nervous is the steward, and a large number of raw materials are purchased, that is, a large amount of milk, a large number of eggs, and various preserved fruits and other decorative items.

Flour is more demanding, and now it's time to start grinding.

The flour used to make the best cakes must be 64 flour, and only the finest part is taken, and then sifted through with a fine basket. The cake in the palace is poor, one is in the flour, the second is in the fine sugar powder, the third is in the mixing time of egg white and egg yolk, the fourth difference is in the hand-cranked ultra-high-speed egg beater in Hanfu, and the fifth difference is in the feel and fire of the oven chef.
