"It's hard to go out now with the weather like this. After the snowstorm and cold wave pass, let someone go check it out. No matter what, we have to talk to Brother Gao Wu."
"Well! It is said that the eldest daughter of the Chen family and Chen Qingqing have turned against each other a long time ago and do not recognize each other. According to the information obtained by Brother Xie, her husband-in-law won the Jinshi. Brother Xie and I have a guess. Does the eldest daughter know? Something."
After Li Yuan said this, she saw Wang Can lower his head and continued: "Chen Qingqing, that is, the person that the legitimate daughter married is also from the Gao family, a first-class wealthy businessman in Fucheng, but she married the eldest son of the Gao family. .
It was reported that the mother-in-law of the concubine's eldest son had a very good relationship with Wu Yu'er, the concubine of the Chen family. It is said that the two were neighbors when they were young and were related by blood. "
Wang Can didn't understand why Li Yuan specifically said this, so he asked: "Sister Yuan, do you think there is a problem here?"
"The two of them know each other, so there is no problem. The problem is that the sum of all the things hired by Gao's subordinates is less than one thousand taels. When Chen Qingqing got married, the dowry was fifty percent more than that of her eldest sister.
It is said that many of them were subsidized privately by Wu Yu'er. The silver at the bottom of the box alone was three thousand taels, not to mention Zhuangzi's shop and other items.
I heard that when Chen Qingqing showed off her dowry the day before she got married, many people were discussing Wu Yuer's kindness. "
"If the Chen family loves this legitimate daughter and the family is rich, it doesn't matter if they give more, right?"
"Well, that's what I said, but Chen Qingqing's character is a bit hard to describe. When we first met her, she didn't care about her face and took the girl to yell at the door of the rice and grain shop. Do you think a daughter of a high-ranking family, Or Madam. Anyone with brains would do such a thing?"
"That seems to be the case! Just like those wealthy daughters and wives in Liuyun County, don't they always send a steward or a maid to come forward to do whatever they want?"
"Hmm! She is a bit stupid. Brother Xie said that Wu Yu'er intends to flatter her and kill her. If Wu Yu'er is really good for her, do you know what her temper is? Can you not arrange some profitable women around her?
The only possibility is that Wu Yu'er did it on purpose. Even the people around her, under Wu Yuer's instruction, often said something in her ears.
Under such circumstances, why did Wu Yuer give her so much dowry? Even if you want to show off your face to outsiders, there is no need to give real money, right? "
Wang Can's mind was now filled with the matter of changing children, and he subconsciously said this after hearing this.
"It's hard to say whether the Gao family's eldest son was born to Mrs. Chen. She gave Chen Qingqing so many betrothal gifts, which was actually to supplement her own son."
Li Yuan listened thoughtfully and said: "Now this Wu Yu'er, Brother Xie said that she is the daughter of Mrs. Chen's maternal cousin. As for why she came to be a concubine in the first place, no one knows.
Channiang, what you said seems possible. But if she could give birth to a concubine's eldest son for Master Gao, then why didn't she enter the Gao Mansion and come to the Chen Mansion to be a concubine?
At that time, the Chen family only had a little money, right? Also, what happened to the mother-in-law of her eldest son in Gaofu? "
Wang Can didn't bother to guess this.
"No matter what happens, let Brother Gao Wu investigate by himself when the time comes. Sister Yuan, you have already helped enough.
Also, this is a matter between high-ranking families and has nothing to do with us. If Brother Gao Wu is really the legitimate son of the Chen family, and his eldest sister knows something, she will definitely not sit idly by. "
"Well, Brother Xie and I have done what we can do. The next step is up to them. Of course, this presupposes that he is really the legitimate son of the Chen family. Okay, Can Niang, come and see what I bought. Do you like this thing?"
There are few women who don't love jewelry, especially Wang Can, who never got anything in his previous life.
When she married Liu Dongsheng as his stepmother, no one came to pick her up. Yang Dahua took her initiative and took her there with her baggage.
It was a hard time for her when she arrived at Liu's house. Not only did she not have enough to eat every day, but she also had endless work to do.
Under such circumstances, there is no money left, let alone buying jewelry and new clothes.
Like now, it was the first time for her to be so valued by the man's family before getting engaged.
Although her sister Yuan may have bought these things with the money she gave her, they are of completely different nature.
Without knowing anything, Brother Junzi kept several taels for himself and prepared to marry her.
The old man knew about Brother Junzi's situation and took the initiative to help him pay off his debts with money.
And her sister Yuan is the one who puts her at the forefront of her heart and thinks about everything for her.
It is her blessing to be able to marry into such a family. God saw that she was too miserable in her previous life and specially made up for it.
She cherishes everything she has now, so no matter what her sister Yuan buys, she will like it no matter what style it is.
With this idea in mind, when Wang Can opened the wooden boxes one by one, her eyes opened wider and wider.
Finally, she looked at Li Yuan in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly: "Sister Yuan, are all of these mine?"
As she spoke, she reached out and touched the gold-plated silver hairpin, and then touched the pair of gold earrings.
Finally, his eyes fell on the silver hairpin, silver hairpin and silver bracelet, and his heart felt like it was pounding wildly.
"Yes, they are all yours. The gold-plated silver hairpin and gold earrings are what Junzi gave you as a betrothal gift. The other silver ornaments are the dowry I bought for you.
Canniang, I have limited money on hand now, and there will be many places where I will use it in the future, so this is the only thing I can prepare for you and Junzi. When life gets better in the future, I will buy other things for you. "
Wang Can's eyes were swollen, he smiled and shook his head and said: "No, this is very good, I like it very much, thank you Sister Yuan. Brother Junzi and I will make money in the future. Buy whatever you want. Sister Yuan, it's yours Keep the money for yourself. Well, for now, let’s get together first.”
Li Yuan thought for a while and simply said: "Can Niang, keep the money you earn from now on. If you are afraid of losing it, you can leave it with me first, and I will record the amount of each amount for you. .
When everything gets better in the future, I will give you the details again. Also, you don’t have to give it all to me, you should keep some for yourself. Junzi, just say it's the dividends we get from growing vegetables together or something. "
Wang Can was not pretentious. He knew that after getting married, she would have her own family to live with, so she nodded.
"Okay! But since Sister Yuan wants to make a clear distinction, let's just figure it all out. My vegetable sales line is from Xie Xiucai's route, so the dividends should be given to him.
It’s just that he thinks that this is what you did, and in the future, Sister Yuan, you will also marry Xie Xiucai, so I will give you this money. Well, I’ll give you 30%, do you think that’s okay? "
"No! Brother Xie doesn't need the money, and neither do I. If you are really grateful, if there is more Lingquan water, share more with me. I have land in my house, so I have to save it first."
Speaking of this, Li Yuan suddenly remembered that the three members of the Liu family were in jail, so she hurriedly asked: "Can Niang, has your spiritual spring water been upgraded again?"
