The fleet drifted at sea for more than 200 days and came to Guangzhou.

As soon as he arrived in the city of Guangzhou, there was news of An Lushan's rebellion and the capture of Chang'an and Luoyang. There was a panic in my heart. Fortunately, I soon found an old acquaintance of the Du family, who was a giant surnamed Su who had business dealings with several uncles of my Du family.

He said that according to the correspondence between the Du family and him, everything was fine with the Du family. When An Lushan's army attacked, the Du family followed Emperor Xuanzong to Shuzhong. After the recovery of Chang'an, the family has returned to Chang'an. At the moment, my heart is infinitely relieved.

Mr. Su helped me arrange the carriage and horses to send me back to Chang'an. Along the way, I also heard the news that the two generals, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, were framed by Bian Lingcheng and killed in Tongguan, and couldn't help but sigh that the world was difficult.

Chang'an is still there, but the scenery has changed; the family is still there, and many old acquaintances and acquaintances have been scattered to the end of the world, and they don't know life and death.

After seeing that my parents and uncles were all right, my heart was full of resentment and longing. Far to the west, I don't know what happened to the Abbasid civil war, what happened to my little moon Shatabi, and Prince Wyan, Abu *, I don't know what happened?

The little man in the bronze mirror kept talking, and Peony translated it sentence by sentence. It can be seen that there is a faint nostalgia in her eyes.

Come to think of it, the little moon in Du Gongzi's heart, Miss Shatabi, should be as passionate and beautiful as a peony! And that faint nostalgia is really easy to make people feel deep love.

Guo Yu looked at the hot Persian beauty in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the girl in the car that day.

By the time they finished talking, it was already dark. Not long after Hui Guo put away the bronze mirror, a servant with a Turkic appearance came in, and a strangely large tray was filled with wine and food.

Guo Hua was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but pinch it lightly on the face of the proprietress, and couldn't help but praise it, "I haven't eaten your Wanxianglou's wine and meat for a long time, it's really gluttonous, gluttonous! It's a pity, it's not you who cook it yourself, otherwise I will be drunk tonight, and I'll be tired these days!"

"Oh, when is it time for us swingers to be busy!" Peony didn't avoid him, and joked while busy setting up the meal.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, the food served by the servant was only a few pieces of corn stickers, and the rest were some meat, steamed fish, snake soup, stuffed hump, stewed deer blood, and the fragrance of meat filled with a little heat, stirring people's hunger!

Of course, there is also a pot of fine wine, and it is a rare Gaochang wine in a century.

Gaochang Kingdom is located to the east of Qiuzi, adjacent to Yanqi. During the Han and Wei dynasties, the emperor at that time sent soldiers and their families to establish fortresses on the one hand, and stationed them on the border to defend against the Xiongnu and later the Qiang.

Later, the Central Plains region rose and fell several times, and the descendants of those garrison troops continued to merge with the Zhuhu of the Western Regions, and slowly established the Gaochang Kingdom, which became a rich oasis country in the desert of the Western Regions.

The wine produced there is famous all over the world. It is said that during the reign of Gaozu, Gao Changguo had paid tribute to Chang'an for many years. In the early years of Taizong, King Gaochang also came to make a pilgrimage.

During the Zhenguan period, Master Xuanzang went west to seek the Dharma, and also passed by Gaochang. Gaochang firmly believed in Buddhism, and King Ju Wentai had a long meeting with a famous monk and became a close friend. If the Master returns, he will return to Gaochang and preach the Dharma for 100 days.

Helplessly, it was during Master Xuanzang's quest for Fa Tianzhu. King Gaochang and the Turkic alliance provoked Taizong's anger, and he actually sent Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun to lead the troops and destroy the homeland of Gaochang.

For a time, this wine of Gaochang Kingdom became a masterpiece. Many wealthy merchants in the Western Regions have collected and hidden them, and few have shown them.

Previously, Guo Hua had only drunk it twice.

For the first time, a child of a family once made trouble in Wanxianglou, and he had to ask Peony to marry him as a concubine. Guo Yu compared wine with the man, and drank heavily for seven days and seven nights before forcing the prodigal son to retreat.

The prodigal son was defeated. Guo Yu was also drunk and unconscious, his eyes were foggy, and he was dazed, and he saw Peony handing over a cup.

At that time, Guo Yu had a splitting headache, her viscera was churning, and her body was sore and swollen. If you are a bystander, you must blame Peony for being unreasonable. helped her out of the siege, but handed over the wine.

Guo Hua didn't care so much, twisted out a hippie smile, stared at the peony with a pair of eyes, and drank a glass of wine slowly.

I never thought that when the wine entered his throat, Guo Hua only felt a burst of comfort all over his body, like an initiation and bathing in elixir, compared to what he drank before, it was just mud horse urine. After three cups, the seven days and seven nights of turbid wine have been dissipated.

Gaochang wine really lives up to its reputation, and Wanxianglou can hide this secret wine for hundreds of years, which is even more rare.

The second time was that Guo Linggong recaptured Chang'an, and the current Son of Heaven once gave the Guo family a pot of Gaochang wine! Guo Linggong and Zhong Erlang drank half a pot, and the rest was collected and enshrined!

Peony poured herself a cup first and drank it slowly. Unconsciously, there was a sad look on his face, which was even more loving.

Hui Guo also filled the cup in front of him, and said with a smile: "Girl, but after listening to that story, you feel homesick?" Without waiting for Peony to reply, he also drank a glass of wine slowly.

Peony didn't know Huiguo, and saw that he was handsome, so he ordered the kitchen to make all the meat and entertain the two, so as to take the opportunity to tease Huiguo. But seeing Hui Guowu drinking by himself, and seeing through his own thoughts, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, knowing that there was a high monk in front of him, and he was speechless for a while.

"The homeland of Gaochang has been annihilated for a hundred years, how many prodigal sons and beautiful families, heroic figures, have been hastily, and they have all been paid to the smoke and dust. Other countries, hometowns, and hometowns, are all the same thing!" Guo Wu couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Peony was silent.

only heard a snort, but Peony laughed and said: "A character like you, wherever you die, where you are buried, what kind of hometown do you want!"

She knew that Guo Hua was not an ordinary prodigal son, but it was the first time she saw him so sour, which made her return to her true nature.

The two of them talked and laughed, and Huiguo ate and drank unhurriedly, and there was no difference between meat and vegetables. What turned over the green mountains, wiped out the Hu, defeated the Talas, and wandered in a foreign country, all of them were scattered into the dust of the years.

After the unitary, the lights gradually lit up in Chang'an City!

Du Mansion, the bedroom of Du Huan, the young master of the Du family, is brightly lit. Hui Guo and Guo Hua walked for a long time, although the two of them did not leave a word to ask them to wait, the Du family and Zhang Songyao waited as if they had received some promise, and they just used it simply.

The old man of the Du family inevitably had a few complaints, and Zhang Songyao couldn't stop consoling, repeatedly emphasizing Huiguo's ability.

At this time, I suddenly heard a rapid trot outside the window, and then a family member rushed in, saying that Hui Guo and Guo Hua were back, and they also brought a gorgeous orchid, and what was even more strange was that Guo Hua was carrying a huge bronze mirror that was more than one person high.

The two old men were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly greeted them, and saw that the three of them had come to the outside of the room, just as the family had said.

The gorgeous orchid is none other than the peony, Iligona.

"Huan'er, is there any salvation now?" Master Du hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to hold Hui Guo's hand.

It turned out that the son-in-law of his family was Du Huan.

Huiguo, who doesn't like others to be too enthusiastic, folds his hands and recites the Buddha.

Guo Yu handed the bronze mirror to the family on the side, stepped forward, and said that he had found a way to treat Du Gongzi's illness.

It's a lot of fun.

Guo Yu dismissed everyone on his behalf, leaving only Master Du and Zhang Songyao in the bedroom, watching through the window.

In the courtyard, a three-sided curtain was erected with fine yarn, and a couch was in the middle, on which Du Gongzi was sleeping. Following Du Huan's line of sight, he went up obliquely, and the huge bronze mirror was suspended in the air.

There are still a few days, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the silver moon is almost full, and the moonlight is naturally reflected in the bronze mirror, like a full moon.

The peony is behind Du Gongzi, reclining on the couch, and his appearance is also reflected in the bronze mirror. It's just that today she is covered with a veil and only a pair of eyes staring affectionately.

Hui Guo looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and felt that the hour was almost up, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, Guo Hua handed over a bunch of grapes.

Huiguo, pick the grapes one by one, and put a shape of the word "10,000" in a wooden plate in front of Du Huantou.

Master Du and Master Zhang hid behind the window, and they didn't dare to blink their eyes to watch, seeing that Hui Guo was chanting words in his mouth, and he didn't know what spell scriptures he was reciting, but he smelled the strange fragrance of wisps of grapes.

Zhang Songyao vaguely remembered that when he was the chief bookkeeper in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, he once ate such grapes in a manor in Qiuzi. The owner said that the grape plants came from farther west, near the legendary shores of the West Sea.

This kind of grape, he had heard of before. In the Tang Dynasty, a famous monk of the Tang Dynasty who once traveled through the Western Regions and traveled to Tianzhu, it was recorded in Fa Xian's "Seeking the Law", saying that it was the taste and taste, and the grapes brought back by Zhang Qian during the Han Dynasty.

Later, Master Xuanzang went to Tianzhu again, and after returning to Chang'an, Emperor Taizong asked him to verify that he had personally eaten the grapes mentioned in the "Seeking the Law" in the Western Regions.

Master Xuanzang probably had some scruples, and he didn't want the emperor to do anything for the sake of appetite. He said: "The grapes of Chang'an have the taste of Chang'an, and the grapes of the Western Regions have the taste of the Western Regions!"

Emperor Taizong is a Ming monarch, so he naturally understands the meaning of the mage's words and no longer asks questions. Privately, he arranged for officials of Guanglu Temple to negotiate with caravans traveling to and from the Western Regions, hoping to bring plants or seeds of that kind of grape.

However, the water and soil are different, and several plantings have not been successful.

As an official in the court, Zhang Songyao naturally heard of such a thing. It's just that the first time he tasted it, the plump and sweet juice and attractive aroma left a deep impression on his heart.

At the moment, he believes, this is what that grape tastes like, that grape that is unique to Persia.

It's just that across thousands of miles of desert yellow sand, how did this grape come to the capital? You know, even Emperor Taizong didn't know the taste of it until the dragon ascended to heaven!

Perhaps, it was some kind of spell that this monk had made!

As the aroma of grapes came, I saw Du Huan on the bed, and his hands and feet began to move, and gradually he seemed to be doing it.

This frightened Master Du, and every time he saw his son's appearance when he was enchanted, his heart was like a knife. He thought that Du Huan was going crazy again.

Du Huan just sat up, not as usual. He slowly opened his eyes, just in time to see the bronze mirror hanging in front of him.

Although he was in the house, separated by a distance, Master Du saw it clearly, and it was the first time that he saw a slight light in his son's eyes since he came back from beating his son.

Du Huan sat there, his body seemed to be controlled by some kind of force, and Peony hugged him, his cheek against his cheek.

Hui Guo took out the bronze mirror in his arms and threw it upward, but it hung in the air for no reason, opposite the huge bronze mirror. Huiguo recited the mantra again.

I saw Du Huan looking at the hanging bronze mirror, gradually showing a smile, gently closing his lips, saying something, Peony answered softly on the side, like a couple in love.

When Master Du saw this scene through the window, he was crying and laughing, and he couldn't wait to run out immediately and hug his son. During this time, the old man was really tortured.

Guo Hua stood aside and saw that what was reflected in the mirror was clearly not the scenery in front of him.

In the mirror is a very vast world, in the endless desert, dotted with several cities, in the middle of which stands tall and magnificent domed buildings, which are the great Muslim temples.

Under the bright moonlight, in a vineyard, Du Huan was whispering to a Persian woman in white.

The woman was also veiled, but not Egina. Everything in the bronze mirror is about an illusion created by Huiguo.

Time passed quickly in the illusion, and in less than half an hour, several years had passed in the bronze mirror.

Master Du, who had been hiding behind the window, watched intently, Du Huan seemed to be tired, closed his eyes and lay down, and fell asleep.

Hui Guo put away his mental power, and everyone carried Du Huan into the room.

"Tomorrow morning, he will wake up. These pills, taken with him every night before going to bed, can help him recover early. With that, Hui Guo handed a white porcelain vial to Master Du.

provoked Du Huan's father to thank him again and again, forgetting his words.

The drums of the curfew sounded many times, and there were few people on the wide streets of Chang'an City.

Huiguo used his mana to send Iliguna back to Wanxianglou, and he also returned to Qinglong Temple.

A beautifully dressed son, dragging a long shadow, walked slowly under the moon.

Everyone will be lonely at times, but some people come later. It's like a person who was born in the south and came to the north, his clothes were thin, and he was drenched in an ice rain for the first time, and his heart tightened for a while.

In the quiet Chang'an City, those silver-gray moonlights are like the snow of the cold winter wax moon.

Chang'an under the moonlight has become boundless, Guo Hua is walking slower and slower, he does not resist the loneliness that hits the waves, and even enjoys it a little. Loneliness, it turned out to be such a wonderful thing.

It's really strange, two moods, entwined in the heart.

Just when Guo Yu was thinking, a short figure, hidden in the corner, crept over.
