The reason why Chen Jiamu had such a strong desire to participate in wan chun tang auction this time around was because his Chen Family had been researching on a new type of aphrodisiac.
The method to create this new type of spice was something that Chen Jiamu had found in an ancient book on Chen Family. The ancient book had also recorded that this spice was something that Chen Jiamu had created when Chen Family was first developed.
However, according to the ancient book, whoever bought this spice would be deeply enchanted by its fragrance. They couldn't help but sink into it, and from there, wanted to buy it back.
However, because the raw materials needed to make this type of spice were rather hard to find, the Chen Family had only been released once, and there was no way to make it.
According to the description of the ancient book, due to the Chen Family not being able to push the spice again, it caused discontent among the customers, and even caused quite a commotion.
But now, Chen Jiamu wanted to create this new spice, to create an event that would focus on memory. This way, this spice could attract memories from old customers, and could even attract new guests.
This could be said to be a two-shot approach.
Chen Jiamu was sure that if this new type of spice was developed successfully, it would definitely cause a spice storm in the capital.
After half a year of hard work, Chen Jiamu finally found all the ingredients for this spice. Other than the last ingredient, everything else was prepared accordingly.
Now, only this last raw material was left.
Just when Chen Jiamu was unable to find any places to do so, he was finally able to find it on the list of auctions in wan chun tang.
It was — the Faerie Grass.
It was the key to determining the success or failure of this new type of spice, and also the key to determining the final fate of Chen Family!
"Oh right, Mister Chen, may I ask you a question?"
Liu Xinyue thought about what Chen Jiahe had said before. She knew that Chen Jiamu was initially wanted by the state advisor to be her disciple, so she thought about it.
"mr howe, what do you want to ask? As long as I know, I will definitely answer truthfully." Although he had only interacted with Liu Xinyue for a short period of time, after so many years of experience, Chen Jiamu was still able to train his eyes to be able to look at others.
Furthermore, through constant experiments, Chen Jiamu realized that his standards were constantly improving. Furthermore, this Mr. Huo Zhongxi who came from Jiangnan, after being in contact with him for a short period of time, he had discovered that he could be a person, at least not a bad one.
"It's like this. I was invited here by the Prime Minister's wife. I found out later that she had a personal physician by her side. His name was Huyan." Because and the others were all sitting right in front of him, Liu Xinyue intentionally glanced at them, and then lowered his voice.
"I wonder if Mister Chen has heard of this name before?"
Liu Xinyue did not immediately ask the question in his heart, but asked it first.
"I'm sorry mr howe, because I have been busy with family matters for the past few years, I do not have the energy to pay attention to other matters."
Chen Jiamu had naturally noticed Liu Xinyue's expression, and looked towards the back of the person in front of her.
"Therefore, I do not know the Mister that mr howe is talking about."
So that's how it is. Since Young Noble Chen is from the capital, I wonder if you have heard of the state advisor or what disciples you have? Then, Liu Xinyue asked the question, "Is that the kind of disciple who taught medicine?"
If Liu Xinyue were to ask other people about this, they would probably not know about it, but to Chen Jiamu, he was definitely asking the right person, and other than the state advisor, no one else knew about it more than him.
Because back then, when he had rejected state advisor's invitation to take him in as a disciple, Chen Jiamu had actually regretted it somewhat. After that, other than managing his family, he had also paid close attention to the whereabouts of the state advisor.
All these years, Chen Jiamu was absolutely sure that state advisor had never taken in any disciples.
"For the past ten odd years, state advisor has not taken in any disciples." Thinking back carefully, Chen Jiamu shook his head and said.
"And before that? Does state advisor have a disciple? "
Since he had not accepted a disciple for more than ten years and had stayed in the capital for more than ten years, could it be that he was accepted as a disciple by the state advisor when he was young?
So, Liu Xinyue asked again.
Although Chen Jiamu didn't know why the Liu Xinyue in front of him was so persistent, wanting to know if state advisor had any disciples, he still carefully thought back for a bit. After which, he shook his head and said: "I have never heard of any disciples in state advisor."
"However …"
Just when Liu Xinyue thought Chen Jiamu had finished speaking, the other party continued.
"However, I do remember that before, state advisor held a disciple recruitment test, however, at that time, not a single person passed."
Chen Jiamu suddenly remembered something about the state advisor that happened when he was young. However, because it was a long time ago, he did not think about it at the beginning.
"No, my apologies mr howe, but because I have stayed in the mr howe for a long time, there was a problem with my memory." Chen Jiamu smiled apologetically at Liu Xinyue, but thought for a moment, and said, "It should be so, when the state advisor held the disciple recruitment test, it was originally to recruit disciples, but this disciple recruitment test was only held halfway, and it seemed to be about someone secretly learning state advisor's medical skills."
"After that, the state advisor became angry. The disciple recruitment test was ended just like that, and this matter was also warned not to be spread out."
Hearing this, the first reaction that came to Liu Xinyue's mind was to compare the face of the person who had secretly learned medical techniques with his own face. At the same time, because of what Chen Jiamu had just said, he looked at him suspiciously.
Since this matter was warned not to spread, then how did Chen Jiamu know about it?
"Because at that time, someone from our Chen Family was selected as well. Coincidentally, it was my big sister who told me in secret later on." Chen Jiamu also saw the doubt in Liu Xinyue's eyes and understood what she meant.
However, this matter had already passed more than ten years ago, and there probably weren't many people who could still remember it. If not for Liu Xinyue's question right now, Chen Jiamu himself would not have remembered this incident at the time.
