Chapter 143 By Chance
When Guo Xin heard the news, he turned around and smiled, saying, "No problem."
The uncle looked at Guo Xi, who seemed even younger than Guo Xin, and asked, "Is this your brother?"
"Exactly."
Guo Xi saw that Guo Xin and the man opposite were talking happily and there was no scene of fighting, so he smiled and said: "Just now I heard you say that it is not the lack of food that is worrying, but the inequality of food. If the food is distributed well, how can it cause people's anger?"
Seeing Guo Xi and the uncle chatting, Guo Xin retreated back to the carriage team and said to He Liu and others, "The refugees ahead are harmless. They came from the northern border. I heard that there is already war over there and the situation is very tense. From what that person said, there may be more refugees coming in the future, so you should spread the news quickly."
He Liu looked at Guo Xin, and the contempt in his eyes slowly turned into respect. He originally thought that the girl in front of him, a lady he met halfway, was only able to make her business successful by luck. If compared with the ladies in the capital, she could not compare.
But after this incident, he realized that the young lady in front of him was slightly better than those young ladies and wives, so he said with admiration: "I will report this matter carefully to the general and the governor of the nearby prefecture city so that they can prepare in advance."
Guo Xin felt the change in He Liu's tone and smiled faintly. She was still worried about how much effort she would have to put in to change these people's views of her. After all, the attitudes of people around her also affect the success or failure of her actions. Now He Liu should become her loyal fan and help promote her.
She has never been afraid of fame, because fame can help her family avoid a lot of obstacles when they arrive in the capital. Otherwise, they would be looked down upon.
Guo Xin walked to the back carriage to check it out and asked, "He Liu, how long will it take for us to get supplies at the next stop?"
He Liu said respectfully: "It will take about one or two days to reach the next city. Let's go to the village and find a family to stay with for the next few days."
Guo Xin hesitated for a long time and said, "I see that our carriages have about ten days' worth of food. I plan to keep only five days' worth of food and give the remaining five days' worth of food to the refugees. Do you think this is feasible?"
Although the uncle just said that he was worried that there would not be enough food, which would lead to unequal distribution of food, she just saw many old people and children falling down. After thinking about it, she still wanted to share her food.
As for the concern about whether it will cause public outrage, I think if the porridge is cooked thinner and allowed to be divided as appropriate, there should not be any big problem. Moreover, every household has elderly and children, so if it is distributed in this way, every household can get some, and the feeling of unfairness will be less.
He Liu was about to say something, but he still agreed.
Soon, the heavy loads of rice and flour were unloaded and sent to the refugee area opposite.
……
After resting for a while, Guo Xin and his party set off again. After all, it was getting late. If they didn't set off again, they would probably not be able to reach their destination before dark.
However, due to the habit of refugees, Guo Ruo and Guo Xi were unwilling to sit separately, so the four of them squeezed into a carriage, sometimes looking at the scenery outside, and sometimes recording something with a brush.
"My dear, there seems to be the Sixth Prince's team not far ahead. They should also be returning to the capital. Should we go up and say hello so that we can take care of them along the way?"
Guo Xin became curious. Why would there be a prince walking on this remote official road? He shouldn't be staying in the capital to enjoy a leisurely life or fight for the throne. So he lifted the curtain, stuck his head out and looked forward carefully.
I don't know what he saw, but he felt that the chain on his hand was a hot potato, so he pulled it back immediately, and the car curtain was lowered with a "swish". The three of them looked at Guo Xin in confusion, with questioning looks in their eyes.
He Liu had been paying attention to the situation in the car, and thought something had happened, so he asked anxiously: "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Guo Xin replied: "No problem, I just saw an acquaintance."
She didn't expect that Zhao He was the Sixth Prince. Although she always knew he was a prince and was called Sixth Master when he went out, she initially thought that Sixth Master was just a fabricated order, so she didn't think for a while that Sixth Master was the Sixth Prince.
He stayed outside and said with a smile: "I wonder if Miss knows someone around the Sixth Prince? Then we should go and say hello, so that we can have a companion along the way. Besides, the Sixth Prince is always easygoing, but he is just at the age of setting up a mansion."
Hearing this, Guo Ruo and the other two also became curious and lifted the curtain to look forward. Perhaps they had someone they liked in their heart, and Guo Ruo saw the tall and strong Pei Yuan among the crowd in front. He was riding a horse and following beside the carriage.
Guo Ruo blushed instantly and turned his head back.
He Liu looked at Guo Ruo in confusion, and was a little puzzled for a moment. Guo Xin in front of him also took a look and turned away, and Guo Ruo in front of him did the same. It was really strange. Could it be that the team of the Sixth Prince in front had a bad past with them?
Thinking of this, He Liu no longer mentioned going to the Sixth Prince to say hello.
After following the Sixth Prince's team in front for about a quarter of an hour, Pei Yuan suddenly turned his horse around and rode towards Guo Ruo and his group.
"Excuse me, is the person sitting inside from the Guo family of Suining Prefecture?"
He Liu should be the one.
"I am from the Sixth Prince's convoy ahead. His Highness recognized you and asked me to pass on a message. There are many refugees recently, and many bandits have also mixed in with them. Therefore, we can travel together on this journey, which can also reduce some damage."
He Liu responded with a smile on his face. This was what he meant. However, seeing the ladies' reactions, he thought that they had a bad grudge against each other, so he did not feel comfortable going to greet the Sixth Prince's team.
But now that the Sixth Prince has sent Master Pei Yuan, who is beside him, to deliver the message, it seems that he has definitely not met Liang Zi. This is naturally the best thing. After all, offending the prince is not a good thing, even if this prince seems to have no real power in the palace.
But the Sixth Prince’s elder brother is the Third Prince, the most competitive prince today. How could he be offended?
At the same time, Guo Ruo opened the curtain and looked at Pei Yuan in front of her. Her face flushed and she asked gently, "Why are you here too?"
Pei Yuan smiled and said, "This matter is no longer a secret. My master is the Sixth Prince, or Sixth Master. Because the New Year is coming soon, he has to return to the capital to celebrate the New Year with His Majesty and others."
Guo Ruo thought of the previous conversation between Guo Xin and himself, and asked: "Then I guess your identity is not what I said at the beginning, right? It's the one about you being a small guard who was slowly noticed by the Sixth Prince, and then slowly walked to his side step by step and became his personal guard."
