As he spoke, he quickly finished the food in the bowl, and then drank half a bowl of vegetable soup before getting up and walking out.
As soon as the two people left, Li Yuan looked at the two children.
"Caiwei, it's getting late. You take your sister back to the house to sleep first. Mother and Aunt Can will go back to accompany you later. As for the gifts, mother will give them to you when you wake up tomorrow morning."
"good!"
After the two children also left, only Li Yuan and Wang Can were left in the main room.
In a cautious manner, Wang Can got up and went out to take a look. He saw no one was around and then came back.
But before she could speak, she saw Li Yuan holding her hand tightly and saying with fear in her eyes: "Can Niang, fortunately you have your spiritual spring water. If not, we might not be able to come back."
What Wang Can was about to say was shocked by her words, and he stared at her dumbfounded, forgetting what he was going to say.
At this time, Li Yuan had lost her appetite, and she stood next to Wang Can and said softly: "It's too cold outside, it's really, really cold. The station was short of supplies when changing carriages, and there's no way we wouldn't come back because of this."
So all the way back, I relied on the things I brought with me in the house to keep out the cold. Brother Xie and I were fine. We had prepared everything in advance and we were not afraid of getting cold.
But the coachman, he sat outside all the time. I was afraid of an accident, so I used the little charcoal from time to time to boil water for him to drink. "
When Wang Can heard this, he already understood what it meant, and immediately said: "Using charcoal to boil hot water is actually a pretense. Sister Yuan gave her spiritual spring water? He felt comfortable after drinking it, so he mistakenly thought he had drank hot water. The reason?"
"Yes, Brother Xie and I don't know how to drive a carriage, and we can't spend so much money and then drive the carriage by ourselves. Can Niang, I found that this spiritual spring water can't be taken care of for a few days after drinking it once.
But after drinking, the body will feel much better at the time, but as time goes by, the whole body will gradually become colder. In this case, you have to continue drinking. "
Wang Can heard the words and said with a smile: "Of course! Sister Yuan, do you really think it is a panacea? If you drink it, you can take care of it for a lifetime? My spiritual spring water allows people who are in poor health to drink it to save their lives or strengthen their health.
It's okay for you to ride in a carriage, but if the coachman doesn't drink, he won't be able to stay warm all the time. He was sitting outside driving. In the current weather, it was no different from committing suicide. His body would only gradually stiffen and eventually he would freeze to death.
But after drinking it, he will feel much better, so drinking it every once in a while is actually equivalent to extending his life. "
Li Yuan nodded, "Well, so your spiritual spring water has been used up when we returned to Liuyun County. There was no way, it was too cold. It took two days to come back from the inn, and all we drank was Spirit spring water.
Not only do you have to drink it yourself, but the horses also have to stop to rest and feed grass, so they have to drink some too. "
With a bright smile on his face, Wang Can gently stroked her back and said, "It's good if I can help Sister Yuan. If it's gone, it's gone. I still have it.
Let's save more next time, there will be plenty of places to use it in the future. By the way, Sister Yuan, Sister Jiaojiao proposed marriage to Brother Gao Wu, and Brother Gao Wu originally lived here. After the engagement, he was taken back directly by the Yan family. "
Li Yuan couldn't react for a moment, "Jiaojiao proposed marriage to Gao Wu and then picked her up?"
"Yes, Brother Gao Wu is going to marry into the Yan family. On the day he came to live at our house, he told Sister Jiaojiao that he was going to marry into the Yan family.
Then after Sister Jiaojiao went back that day, she didn't know what she told her uncle and aunt. The next day, the couple brought Jiaojiao and the matchmaker and came over with their things to propose marriage. After Brother Gao Wu agreed, he picked him up directly. "
Li Yuan didn't expect this to be the case. She suddenly remembered what happened to the Gao family and the Chen family in Fucheng, and she immediately spoke out.
"Canniang, when Brother Xie and I were in Fucheng, we met a woman who looked like Da Zhang. She was also the same age as Gao Wu. She is twenty-two years old this year."
Wang Can sighed, stood up, looked straight at Li Yuan, and said, "Isn't it true that I guessed right? In order to send his daughter to a wealthy family, the Zhang family secretly exchanged other people's children?"
Li Yuan nodded and shook her head: "Yes, and no! If Brother Xie and I are right, this also involves the privacy of the back house of a wealthy family."
"Sister Yuan, tell me what's going on. Have you checked it out?"
"No, the time is too short, and what we have found is limited. I will give you a brief summary, and I will go into details when I see Gao Wu later."
"Yeah, sister Yuan, tell me!"
"The Fucheng that the Chen family moved to more than 20 years ago is now a first-class wealthy businessman in Fucheng. The woman who looks like Da Zhang is the legitimate daughter of the Chen family's first wife.
However, her original wife died less than a year after giving birth to her, leaving behind three children, the eldest daughter, the legitimate son and the youngest daughter. After that, the concubine Wu Yu'er took care of several children day and night, which moved Master Chen and was helped up.
The eldest daughter has a bad relationship with Wu Yu'er, well, or in other words, she doesn't have a good relationship with the whole family. The legitimate son, who was said to be in poor health, also died within a few months of being taken care of by Wu Yu'er. The only remaining daughter, the one who looks like Da Zhang, has the best relationship with Wu Yu'er. "
Wang Can didn't understand. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "There are some people in this world who look very similar. Could it be Sister Yuan, are you overthinking it?"
Li Yuan shook her head: "It may be possible, but I don't think I was wrong this time, including Brother Xie. Can Niang, have you never seen that Chen Qingqing? She looks so much like Da Zhang, even her expression All very similar.
In addition, Gao Wu is not a child of the Yang family, and not long after his first wife died, his legitimate son also died, and she was raised again. Don't you think it's too coincidental?
Oh, by the way, Brother Xie also asked someone to find out that the first wife who died young was from Liuyun County. But because it was so long ago, many things could not be found out immediately. I don’t know where her natal family is from, or whether she knows the Dazhang family. "
Wang Can covered his face, stamped his feet, then put down his hands and looked at Li Yuan in disbelief.
"Sister Yuan, I told Sister Jiaojiao and the others before that the person who secretly replaced Brother Gao Wu might be the Dazhang family and she couldn't deal with it. Otherwise, find someone to find out where the Dazhang family is from. When you were a girl, was there anyone you didn't deal with?
Otherwise, after getting married, she would have little contact with her, and she would just be a girl. Oh, and also, could it be that the two families actually knew each other in the early years before they moved to Fucheng, and then..."
"The former is more likely to be someone she didn't deal with when she was a girl. The latter is less likely to have two families who know each other.
If they knew each other, the master of the Chen family must know the Zhang family. If so, it would be impossible for him to raise Chen Qingqing. Furthermore, if we know him, he is from Liuyun County. Someone must say who Gao Wu looks like. "
