"Gongsun Hong, whose courtesy name was Ji, was from Xue, Zichuan. He was praised by the national scholars in the fifth year of Yuanguang. He was promoted to the first place. He summoned him to attend the meeting and was appointed as a doctor. Hong was the prime minister of common people's clothes and classics, and practiced literati and officials. He was delighted with Confucianism and was pleased by the emperor. In Yuanshuo, he was named the Marquis of Pingjin. All scholars from all over the world were in a trend of wind."

——"Records of the Grand Historian-Biography of the Master of Pingjin Hou, the 52nd Biography"

Chen Jiao and Zhang Cui sat in the room for a while. During the chat, Chen Jiao always insisted on the "facts" of her memory loss. Zhang Cui did not explore in depth when he saw this, but turned the focus of the conversation naturally to his husband. Zhang Cui mentioned his life experiences and her husband, and quietly turned the topic to the interesting stories that the couple had seen over the years. While making Chen Jiao laugh, she also made her amazed at Zhang Cui's knowledge. Just when she talked about the couple's experiences in the Western Regions a few years ago, someone heard someone shouting softly outside the door, "Madam, please invite me!"

Zhang Cui smiled at Chen Jiao and said, "Sister, let's go down with me, I just happen to know your brother-in-law."

After some conversation just now, Chen Jiao, who had long been impressed by Zhang Cui's appearance, naturally nodded and agreed. She was also very curious about the man who could marry such a strange woman and travel around the world with her.

With Zhang Cui's guidance, Chen Jiao embarrassedly changed into the clothes of an ordinary folk woman and went downstairs with her. After walking into the elegant seat that Li Xi specially booked, Chen Jiao found that in addition to a young man, there was another energetic old man in the elegant seat. Zhang Cui bowed to the young man and called out "husband" sweetly. Chen Jiao confirmed that the person in front of her was her "brother-in-law" Li Xi.

Just now, when the two were chatting, Zhang Cui had already explained their identities to Chen Jiao. Zhang Cui was born in a business family in Western Shu, while Li Xi was a businessman in Jianghuai. The couple traveled around this time and inspected the shops. They were now planning to return to their hometown. However, Li Xi and an old friend made an appointment to meet in Xinfeng, so they came out of Chang'an and rushed to the road. They didn't wait for Chen Jiao to wake up, so they took her away from Baqiao regardless of her wishes.

"Cuicui, come here. Say a greeting to Mr. Gongsun Hong and Mr. Gongsun." Li Xi's eyes flashed over Chen Jiao behind his wife, paused for a moment, and turned her gaze to his wife.

"Li Jun Zhang greeted Mr. Gongsun." Zhang Cuifu gave Gongsun Hong a gift.

Gongsun Hong helped Zhang Cui up with a smile and said to Li Xi: "I have married a good wife."

"Mr. Gongsun praised it." Li Xi said modestly, and he always had a little respect for the old man in front of him.

"What is this?" Gongsun Hong asked in confusion when he saw Chen Jiao standing beside him.

"It's my sister." Zhang Cui pushed Chen Jiao to Gongsun Hong and said, "I won't salute Mr. Gongsun."

"Chen Jiao has met Mr. Gongsun." Chen Jiao bowed to Gongsun Hongyingying, but thought strangely in her heart, was he the old friend Li Xi was anxious to meet? The ages of these two were too big. She was thinking about her own thoughts, but she didn't notice the confusion flashing in Li Xi's eyes when she heard her name Chen Jiao.

"Get up, get up." Gongsun Hong said with a smile, "You have to take time to see me in such a hurry, it's really hard for you."

"Where is the trivial matters in my nephew's family, so I can't accompany my husband to Chang'an in person. I'm really ashamed." After the four of them sat down, Li Xi immediately claimed the crime to Gongsun Hong.

"A nephew has a family and a job when he is only established. I can only show my ambitions in my seventies. If you want to say the word "shamed", I can be more accustomed than you." Gongsun Hong stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Mr. Gongsun is a great talent, and he will surely achieve great things this time. His future achievements will surely be extraordinary. After a thousand years, people should know his reputation. Isn't it too wrong for him to compare his husband with a small merchant like me?" Li Xi filled two cups of wine, "I am here, I wish Mr. He will go here with his new plum wine and a prosperous journey!"

"Okay, that's right. I've drunk this glass of wine with my nephew." Gongsun Hong laughed and took the glass.

At this time, Chen Jiao felt her head buzzing. Because the four words "Xinfeng Wine" made her suddenly understand where Xinfeng is.

Among the famous wines in ancient China, Xinfeng wine from the Han Dynasty, Mangluo wine from the Six Dynasties, Lanling wine from the Tang Dynasty, Fen wine from Xinghua Village, Shanxi, and Xifeng wine from Xifeng wine from Shaanxi, all of them are accompanied by the distant charm of history and the fermented fragrance of grain, and are accompanied by the extraordinary sound of Jiaquan and the famous quotes written by their followers. They come from ancient times, penetrate the past and the present, and form their own special cultural symbols.

The name of Xinfeng originated in the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, was born in Fengli. Later, he raised an army, killed Qin and destroyed Xiang, and established the Han Dynasty. He respected his father as the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor missed the scenery of his hometown in Chang'an City, so Liu Bang ordered the skilled craftsman Hu Kuan to build this city according to the appearance of Fengli in his hometown. It was called Xinfeng, which means the newly moved Fengxiang. After the completion of Xinfeng, Taigong wanted to drink wine from his hometown, so Liu Bang moved the winemaker from his hometown here. Since then, Xinfeng's fine wine has become famous all over the world.

Xinfeng wine is the most sought after by poets. Li Bai, Wang Wei, Li Shangyin, and Lu You, these famous poets from later generations, once wrote poems for it.

"The lover said he would not come, who would get drunk with Xinfeng wine together?"

"Xinfeng's fine wine is worth ten thousand, and the Xianyang Rangers have been there for so many years. They drink the righteousness of each other, and they are horses and weeping willows beside the weeping willows."

"The heart is broken and Xinfeng wine is ruined and the sorrow is fought for thousands"

"There is a hatred for the universe and the wine of Xinfeng, and the frost, dew and cold invade Jizi Qiu."

These familiar poems floated in her mind. Chen Jiao felt that she was so lucky. She had the opportunity to drink Xinfeng wine just after seeing Baqiao. Although Chen Jiao herself was not good at drinking, she had to taste it because of her reputation as Xinfeng wine.

Li Xi noticed that Chen Jiao looked at the wine pot in his hand with a gaze and coughed embarrassedly. Then, she also poured a glass of Xinfeng wine for Zhang Cui and Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao carefully held up the wine glass and looked at it. The wine was emerald green, clear and pure, and smelled it rich and mellow. After taking a sip, she found that the wine tasted very light, which could only be regarded as fruit wine containing trace amounts of alcohol. It was similar to alcoholic beverages, but the taste was good.

"Miss Chen, how about it? Is this good? " Suddenly Gongsun Hong's voice sounded from his ears. Chen Jiao looked up and found that the other three were staring at her. Chen Jiao just now looked admiring at the wine glass, and the three people present were smart and cautious, and heartless people. How could they not notice her strange expression?

Seeing her satisfied smile as she wished, Gongsun Hong couldn't help but say something to her. Chen Jiao suddenly felt very embarrassed, and a blush quickly appeared on her face, looking very cute.

Seeing Chen Jiao like this, Gongsun Hong didn't want her to be embarrassed, so he immediately rescued her and said, "Haha, if you want to say that this Xinfeng wine tastes good. Has Miss Chen heard of its name for a long time? That's why today... "

"Of course, the so-called "still in Xinfeng wine, with Baling rain" is like thunder in Xinfeng wine." Chen Jiao blurted out the "Meeting Journey" written by Wei Yingwu.

This poem surprised the other three people present. Seeing their surprised expressions, Chen Jiao's heart immediately became half cold. She screamed in her heart, "It's over and said the wrong thing." The five-character poem was developed until the end of the Han Dynasty. The earliest five-character literati poem "Nineteen Ancient Poems" is still unknown, but she actually spoke Wei Yingwu's poem.

"It's still full of Xinfeng wine, and it's still filled with Baling rain..." Gongsun Hong recited this poem carefully, only to feel that its rhyme is very different from the current Sao style fu, but it has a unique charm.

"Is this written by my sister?" Zhang Cui looked at Chen Jiao in surprise, "Sister is a talented person!"

"Ah...this..." Chen Jiao thought, if she said it was Wei Yingwu who was not born yet, she would probably be regarded as a madman immediately.

"Miss Chen, this poem seems to have an unfinished meaning." Gongsun Hong asked with a smile.

Chen Jiao thought to herself, you are really strong, you can even see it. Wei Yingwu, I'm sorry.

"Well, the whole poem should be seventy years old, and the heroic sounds are in the present and ancient times. When I came from the east, I wanted to visit the wise master. I was still drunk with Xinfeng wine and still brought the Baling rain. When I met, I would not ask about the cold and heat. I would rather know that I was in the evening of the day, and I would like to talk to the flowers. Suddenly I heard the Changle Bell and went around to go." Chen Jiao quietly changed the twenty in the original text to seventy to cater to the scene in front of me.

"When you meet, don't ask about the cold and heat." Li Xi chanted this poem, looked at Gongsun Hong's white hair, and sighed in his heart. He looked back at Chen Jiao, thinking about something.

"Suddenly I heard the Changle Bell and walked around." Gongsun Hong looked through the window and looked in the direction where Chang'an City was, and he was thinking.

Looking at the three people who had their own wishes, Chen Jiao felt that the atmosphere in the room was too weird. She lowered her head and drank the sweet Xinfeng wine on her own. She lowered her head and didn't realize that she had become the focus of the three people's attention.

Jingmo was broken by the guy who was sending the wine. The guy looked at Chen Jiao who was pouring wine into the wine glass and couldn't stop being surprised. He stuttered: "This girl is really a huge amount."

Looking at the waiter's surprised face, Chen Jiao smiled unconsciously. She said, "Your wine tastes good, but the alcohol concentration is so low that it is not a big deal to get drunk." Chen Jiao did not lie about this. The wine in ancient times was generally relatively low because they were not distilled wine made by distillation.

"Our Xinfeng wine is famous all over the world, but the wine that Taigong and Emperor Gaozu loved very much back then. Does the girl look down on our Xinfeng wine?" This guy obviously had a very collective sense of honor. When he heard Chen Jiao say this, he actually forgot that he was entertaining guests and said to Chen Jiao.

"Of course not." Looking at the indignant guy in front of him, Chen Jiao felt both pity and funny in her heart, so she said.

"It's not that Xinfeng wine is not good, but there is not the wine I want to drink here yet." Chen Jiao couldn't help but remembered the wines she had drunk in the past. Although they were not famous wines, they were much higher than the Xinfeng wine they were holding now.

"What kind of wine does the girl want to drink? There is no fine wine in the world that we Xinfeng does not have." The guy continued to say to Chen Jiao. It must be no wonder that Xinfeng is famous all over the world for its wine, and it is close to vendors from all over the capital. Xinfeng can also be said to be a bustling city in the Han Dynasty. Naturally, fine wines from all over the country can be found in Xinfeng. He has always been deeply proud of Xinfeng wine. Now a woman suddenly appeared. She first drank a large amount of wine, and then revealed that there are other fine wines in the world that are better than Xinfeng wine. This of course made this child who had never left Xinfeng feel dissatisfied, and when she got angry, she went to Chen Jiaoqiang.

"Can you distille wine?" Chen Jiao asked casually even though she knew it was impossible.

"What is distilled liquor?" Even the three people who were laughing and listening were in high spirits, and Gongsun Hong asked.

Chen Jiao thought about it and explained the principle of making distilled wine roughly.

After listening, the waiter's eyes lit up, but he still said, "I'll talk to you after I've tried it." Looking at the waiter who was running away, Chen Jiao muttered in her heart: She was so rational that she could verify it, but she was not fooled by me. This waiter is also a talented person.

"The method that Miss Chen said is really unheard of. Can you really make good wine in this way?" Gongsun Hong asked.

"Of course." Chen Jiao's tone was decisive. Because there was a factory manager who had a "alcohol test", Chen Jiao still had a certain understanding of wine. Although this method may not be very scientific, it is still okay to steam a wine that is better than the current "sweet wine". She just didn't know if this waiter could brew the wine before they left. Suddenly, she thought of something stupid just now, and her face, which was originally proud, suddenly fell off.

"What's wrong with Miss Chen?"

"It was originally a good way to make money. I just told that guy stupidly that the money has flew now." Chen Jiao moaned with her head in her arms, "I'm such a fool."

Gongsun Hong, Li Xi and Zhang Cui looked at each other and laughed silently. Zhang Cui walked to Chen Jiao and said, "Silly sister, there are rules for everything. Even if the guy proves that your winemaking method is very good, he will not dare to use it as a means of making money without your consent. What's more, although the court did not explicitly stipulate a ban on alcohol, all those who can interfere in the wine industry are rich families. He is just a young man. Even if he takes advantage of the world and steals your method, he is like a three-year-old naughty boy walking through the downtown area with a brick in his arms. Where can he wait for money to deal with the suppression of his peers?"

Hearing this, Chen Jiao raised her head in surprise, "Article rules?"

"Yes, industry rules. All industries have industry rules. If you violate industry rules, you can stop yourself from this business. That guy is smart and clever, not such a mediocre person." Li Xi, who had not spoken, said with a cold look, which made Chen Jiao feel tremble in her heart.

In the next few days, the four of them traveled together in Xinfeng City. Chen Jiao and Gongsun Hong, the old and strong scholar, became more and more intimate. Chen Jiao treated Gongsun Hong as his elder, and he inevitably acted like a spoiled person when he got along with him, which made Gongsun Hong, who had been addicted to academic research for many years and had very few relatives and friends, feel particularly fresh and deeply felt heartwarming. After a few days of getting along, Gongsun Hong only felt very cute and treated her as a love for her granddaughter. The usual gentleman friendship - Li Xi - was ranked behind.

"We must leave at last." Gongsun Hong said with a hearty smile to the three people who saw him off, "Just send it here."

"Mr. Gongsun, take care of yourself!" Li Xi was not very sad. After all, he had traveled around the world and experienced too many breakups and reunions. Moreover, Gongsun Hong was going to be in a state of success. He was only happy in his heart, so he was not worried about the sentimentality.

"Mr. Gongsun, you are safe all the way." Chen Jiao looked at the kind old man leaving with sadness, feeling very reluctant. She raised the wine glass in her hand and said, "Jiaoer is here to greet Mr. and see him off."

Gongsun Hong's expression changed at the wine glass in Chen Jiao's hand and asked softly: "Isn't this the white wine bar?" The cautious expression made Chen Jiao laugh without realizing it, and she immediately wiped out the sad atmosphere just now.

After receiving Chen Jiao's guidance, the smart guy took a few days to make a distilled liquor. The alcohol concentration of the newly released distilled liquor is naturally beyond the reach of any wine in this era. Yesterday, when the guy came with the wine, Gongsun Hong, who had no idea, drank the wine in one go. He had never drunk this kind of liquor and naturally suffered a lot. The most direct consequence was that the time of separation was pushed from yesterday to today.

"This is Xinfeng wine." Chen Jiao smiled and pointed to a small wine pot tied immediately by Gongsun Hong and said, "The one in it is white wine. When you come to Chang'an, you can use it to bribe the powerful and powerful. If you become a bigger official, come back to see Jiaoer." He blinked at Gongsun Hong, and Chen Jiao deliberately made fun of him.

"Jia'er Jiyan. I'm afraid that your wine is too strong and the powerful will lose their composure after drinking it, so that I can't even be a small official." He patted Chen Jiao on the shoulder lightly, and Gongsun Hong turned over the horse, but said in a pretentious manner on his face.

"Sir!" Chen Jiao pouted and was a little reluctant to give in when she heard him say this.

"Haha, I'll see you off for thousands of miles, there will always be a farewell. Let's go here." Gongsun Hong sat down immediately and said goodbye to the three of them.

"Li Xi is here to wish Mr. Success! "Li Xi showed an elegant smile and also held his fists to show him.

Gongsun Hong's old but strong body whistled away in the sun. The wind blew his gray sleeves, and his gray hair flew with the wind. Li Xi looked at his back and suddenly said, "Mr. Gongsun will definitely make me change the color of the world of the Han Dynasty. He will definitely become one of the most important figures in this dynasty."

Chen Jiao looked at Li Xi with a confident tone in surprise and suddenly felt that the brother-in-law he recognized might not be that simple person. Because, his vision of looking at people and things alone is much better than the people of this era. After a few days of getting along, Chen Jiao has confirmed that Gongsun Hong is the Gongsun Hong in history.
