The pot that was fried first Xiao Xi asked Feng Yan to bring it to the carriage for Leng Mo Dye, and told her to eat it too, so that Leng Mo Dye would not finish it.

Then blow some out for the guards.

Although the pickling time of the guards was short and it had not yet tasted, it was better than nibbling on cold cakes, and everyone had a good time.

When Xiao Xixi got into the carriage, Leng Mo Ran had already finished eating and leaned against the wall of the carriage to rest.

She glanced at the chicken that was still more than half left, and said she was satisfied.

As soon as he picked up a piece with his chopsticks, he heard someone talking outside the carriage.

"I wonder if you're willing to sell me some of your food?"

Xiao Xi was curious, so he raised the curtain of the car and looked over, and met a pair of clear eyes.

The man by the carriage was still communicating with Feng Yan, but when he saw Xiao Xixi, his eyes immediately lit up.

Xiao Xixi also looked at him, as if he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Xiao Yu, I'm your third cousin Gu Xian, don't you recognize me?"

Third cousin? Gu Xian?

Xiao Xixi flipped through the memory of the original owner, and really remembered such a number one person, but the two hadn't seen each other for at least five or six years, and she wasn't sure that the person in front of her was Gu Xian.

Leng Mo said lightly: "You eat first, I'll go down and tell him." ”

Xiao Xixi nodded stunned, and when she saw Leng Mo Ran walking down, she continued to pick up the fried chicken and eat it.

Waiting for Xiao Xixi to eat and get out of the carriage, Gu Xianzheng stood in front of Leng Mo Ran with his head drooping and listened to the training, like a frightened quail.

"Brother Gu didn't explain to the elders in the family and walked thousands of miles, didn't he think about whether the family would be worried? I think it's better to go back to Pingzhou as soon as possible, and don't stay outside for long. ”

Gu Xian raised his head and was about to refute, but after meeting Xiao Xixi's gaze, his eyes were full of expectation: "I just don't want to start a family, Lord Wang, you should need a helper when you go out, right?" I can do anything, and I can definitely take care of everything properly, so that you don't have to worry about it. ”

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 out of Pingzhou because he wanted to get married, and the elders in the family didn't know where he went, and he didn't even bring a subordinate." ”

Xiao Xixi looked at Gu Xian's clothes at this time, it seemed to be a little shabby, it seemed that his life outside during this time was not easy.

"Third cousin, since life outside is not easy, 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 in an instant, but looking at Gu Xian's down-and-out appearance, he had no confidence in him.

Gu Xian seemed to guess what she was thinking, and hurriedly said: "I am like this now because I went out with too little silver, and I ran too far, and I met mountain bandits on the road...... But I won't accept my fate, even if I go to the next county town to start as a restaurant helper, I will have to do business outside. ”

The Gu family is the richest man in Pingzhou, just looking at her mother's wealth as a married girl, Gu Xian's ordinary food and clothing as the third son will only be better.

But he was willing to run away from home and suffer this kind of hardship, which shows that he was really determined not to marry a wife.

"Even if the third cousin gets married, it won't affect your business, why do you have to insist?" Xiao Xixi asked.

Gu Xian shook his head and said: "That's different, if I get married now, everything in my hand is given by the family, and the family will do whatever they want me to do." Even I am like this, so my wife and children have no part to speak. If I make money from my own business, I will be able to talk at home in the future. ”

Xiao Xixi agrees with this, there is nothing wrong with having money and having the right to speak, "Then you run out like this, aren't you afraid that your family will worry?" ”

Gu Xian scratched his head: "I left a letter, telling them that I won't go back until I become famous." ”

Xiao Xixi looked at Leng Mo Ran, which meant to let him have an idea.

After all, he came out to do the errand ordered by the emperor, and he didn't know if he could bring one more person.

Leng Mo said: "We can follow us, but you write a letter to Pingzhou to report your safety, and you can't let your family worry." ”

Gu Xian hesitated, "What if they arrest me as soon as I write a letter?" ”

"If you don't want to, then you can go by yourself."

Gu Xian was already hungry and scared, and life was not easy during this time, so he grabbed the sleeves of his cold ink-dyed shirt and refused to let go of anything, but he was unwilling to agree.

Xiao Xixi shook his head and said: "Third cousin, you are stupid, it will take a while for you to let people send a letter to Pingzhou, and by the time they receive the letter, we have already gone to another place, can they still be sure whether the prophet will be successful?" You just take advantage of the time you are away with me to earn more money, and when we return to Beijing, you will go to the capital again, and then even if your uncle sends someone to arrest you, you are not afraid, you have money. ”

Gu Xian thought that this was indeed the truth, so he slowly let go of the hand that was pulling the cold ink stained sleeve, nodded and said, "I listen to the prince." ”

Leng Mo Ran glanced at him and said, "When you go out, you don't need to call me the prince." ”

"And what am I going to call you?"

Xiao Xixi smiled and said, "It's good to call your cousin-in-law, so that no one will find out that it's inappropriate." ”

Who knows what other vests the dog man has, and it is not easy to show his cousin-in-law.

Gu Xian didn't know the deep meaning of this, so he only rubbed his stomach and nodded: "Cousin, did you still have anything you ate just now?" ”

Xiao Xixi was stunned, she seemed to have accidentally finished eating just now, so she asked, "Cousin hasn't eaten yet?" ”

Gu Xian said pitifully: "The dry food I bought in the last town has been eaten, and I haven't eaten all day, thinking that the next county town will be lively, so I will find a job to do." ”

Xiao Xixi glanced at the flowers and trees all over the mountains, although it was already winter, it would not make people hungry, and no matter how bad it was, they could dig up wild vegetables and cook soup to drink.

"Isn't it all food?"

Gu Xian smiled awkwardly and politely, "I don't even recognize it, I'm afraid of eating bad stomach." ”

Xiao Xi smiled helplessly, and took out the dry food prepared in advance from another carriage and gave it to him, as well as a clean water bladder.

"We've all eaten, you can make do with some food first, and then wait until the county seat to have a good meal."

Although Gu Xian didn't eat fried chicken, he might have a good stomach.

The group quickly got on the road, and Gu Xian sat on the wheel, gossiping with the guards who were driving the car.

"Where is your home? Are you married? Won't your family urge you to get married? ”

Sitting in the carriage, the cold ink dyed her hair was big, and she turned her head to look at Xiao Xixi, who was silent, and instantly understood where her chatter problem came from.

Xiao Xixi saw Leng Mo Ran looking at her, and immediately asked, "Is my husband bored?" I'll tell you a story! ”

"Not necessarily." Leng Modye retracted his gaze and rested against the wall of the car.

Xiao Xi sighed, thinking in her heart about asking Gu Xian to help her open a teahouse.
