Xiao Xixi asked Feng Yan to bring the pot of food to Leng Moran, and told her to eat it too, so that Leng Moran would not finish it.
Then explode some more for the guards.
Although the portions eaten by the guards had been marinated for a short period of time and were not yet tasty, it was still better than eating cold pancakes, and everyone ate them happily.
When Xiao Xixi got on the carriage, Leng Moran had already finished his meal and was taking a nap against the wall of the carriage.
She took a look at the chicken that was still more than half full and expressed that she was very satisfied.
As soon as I picked up a piece with chopsticks, I heard someone talking outside the carriage.
"I wonder if you would be willing to sell me some of your food?"
Xiao Xixi was curious, so she raised the car curtain and looked over, meeting a pair of clear eyes.
The man beside the carriage was originally communicating with Feng Yan, but when he saw Xiao Xixi, his eyes immediately lit up.
Xiao Xixi also looked at him, he seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember him for the moment.
"Xiao Yu, I am your third cousin Gu Xian, don't you recognize me?"
Third cousin? Gu Xian?
Xiao Xixi rummaged through the memory of the original owner and indeed remembered such a number one person. However, the two of them had not seen each other for at least five or six years. She was not sure that the person in front of her was Gu Xian.
Leng Moran said calmly: "You eat first, I'll go down and talk to him."
Xiao Xixi nodded blankly, and when she saw Leng Moran walking down, she continued to pick up the fried chicken and eat it.
When Xiao Xixi had finished her meal and stepped out of the carriage, Gu Xianzheng stood in front of Leng Moran with his head lowered, listening to the instructions, like a frightened quail.
"Brother Gu walked thousands of miles away without telling the elders in the family. Didn't he think about whether his family would be worried? Why don't I go back to Pingzhou as soon as possible to take care of Brother Gu? Don't stay outside for too long."
Gu Xian raised his head and was about to retort. When he met Xiao Xixi's gaze, his eyes were full of expectation: "I just don't want to start a family. Your Majesty, you need help when you go out, right? I can do anything and can definitely take care of everything.
It’s done properly so you don’t have to worry about anything.”
Xiao Xixi asked: "Are you really my third cousin?"
Leng Moran saw that she really didn't know her, so he said: "The identity is correct, but he didn't run away from Pingzhou because he wanted to get engaged. The elders in the family didn't know where he was, and they didn't even bring any servants with him.
"
Xiao Xixi then looked at Gu Xian's clothes. They seemed to be worn out. It seemed that life outside during this period was not easy.
"Third cousin, since life is difficult outside, why don't you want to go back to Pingzhou?"
Gu Xian said with a sad face: "I don't want to start a family, I just want to do business."
Doing business, Xiao Xixi had an idea instantly, but looking at Gu Xian's desolate look, she had no confidence in him.
Gu Xianxiang guessed what she was thinking and said quickly: "The reason why I am like this now is because I took too little money with me when I went out, ran too far, and met bandits on the road... But I will not accept my fate.
Even if I go to the next county and start working as a restaurant assistant, I still have to do business outside."
The Gu family is the richest man in Pingzhou, and seeing how wealthy her mother is as a married woman, Gu Xian, as the third son of a legitimate son, can only afford better food and clothing.
But he was willing to run away from home and suffer such hardship, which shows that he was really determined not to marry a wife.
"Even if your third cousin gets married, it won't affect your business, so why do you insist?" Xiao Xixi asked.
Gu Xian shook his head and said: "That's different. If I get married now, everything in my hand will be given by my family, and I will do whatever my family wants me to do. Even if I am like this, my wife and children will have nothing to say.
If I can make money by doing my own business, I will be able to speak at home in the future."
Xiao Xixi agrees with this. There is nothing wrong with having money and having the right to speak. "Then if you run out like this, aren't you afraid that your family will be worried?"
Gu Xian scratched his head: "I left a letter, telling them I won't go back until they become famous."
Xiao Xixi looked at Leng Moran, wanting to let him make up his mind.
After all, he came out to run an errand ordered by the emperor, and he didn't know if it would be okay to bring one more person with him.
Leng Moran said: "You can follow us, but if you write a letter to Pingzhou to report that you are safe, you can't make your family worry."
Gu Xian hesitated, "What if they take me back as soon as I write a letter?"
"If you don't want to, then just leave by yourself."
Gu Xian was already frightened by hunger, and life was not easy during this period, so he grabbed Leng Mo Ran's sleeves and refused to let go, even though he was unwilling to agree.
Xiao Xixi shook her head and said: "Third cousin, you are stupid. It will take a while for you to send someone to deliver a letter to Pingzhou. By the time they receive the letter, we have already gone to another place. How can they predict it? Just take advantage of it.
Follow me and earn more money while you are away, and when we return to the capital, you can go to the capital again. By then, even if your uncle sends people to arrest you, you won't be afraid, you will have money."
When Gu Xian thought that this was indeed the truth, he slowly released his hand holding Leng Mo Ran's sleeve, nodded and said, "I listen to the prince."
Leng Moran glanced at him and said, "You don't need to call me Prince when you're out."
"Then what shall I call you?"
Xiao Xixi smiled and said with narrowed eyes: "Just call me cousin husband. This way, no one will find anything inappropriate."
Who knows what other vests a dog man has, and it’s not easy to reveal his secrets by calling him cousin husband.
Gu Xian didn't know the deeper meaning of this, so he just rubbed his belly and nodded: "Cousin, do you still have the food you just ate?"
Xiao Xixi was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have finished eating by accident just now, so she asked: "Cousin hasn't eaten yet?"
Gu Xian said pitifully: "I've finished all the dry food I bought in the last town. I haven't eaten anything all day. I'm thinking about the excitement in the next county town and looking for a job."
Xiao Xixi took a look at the flowers, plants and trees all over the mountains and fields. Although it was already winter, it would not make people hungry. Even if they were in trouble, they could dig wild vegetables and make soup.
"Isn't this all food?"
Gu Xian smiled awkwardly but politely, "I don't even recognize him, I'm afraid it will spoil my stomach."
Xiao Xixi smiled helplessly and took out dry food prepared in advance from another carriage and gave it to him, as well as a clean water bag.
"We've all eaten. You can make do with it first, and then have a good meal in the county town."
Although Gu Xian didn't eat the fried chicken, it might have been enough to satisfy his hunger.
The group of people soon started on the road. Gu Xian sat on the shaft of the carriage and chatted with the guards driving the carriage.
"Where do you live from? Are you married? Don't your family urge you to get married?"
Sitting in the carriage, Leng Mo dyed his hair big. He turned to look at the silent Xiao Xixi and instantly understood where her talkative problem came from.
When Xiao Xixi saw Leng Moran looking at her, she immediately asked: "Are you bored, husband? I'll tell you a story!"
"No need." Leng Moran withdrew his gaze and leaned against the car wall to take a nap.
Xiao Xixi pursed her lips, thinking about asking Gu Xian to help her open a teahouse.
