Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the maid Qiaoer should have gone to prepare the evening meal, but Zhou Xi'e didn't let her go.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was still sitting steadily and motionless, Zhou Xie looked at the sky outside the window, and still smiled and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Sister, it's getting late. Take a look and see if it's time." Going back? The road is not very safe after dark."
Mrs. Zhou seemed to turn a deaf ear and did not respond at all.
Zhou Xi'e became increasingly anxious and asked directly: "Sister, why don't you go back? When will you go back? I'll let the paddy fields drive the cattle cart to take you off."
< p> Mrs. Zhou then spoke slowly: "I'm in a hurry for money! Why don't you give me the money first, and then I'll pay it back to you after Daya's marriage is settled, okay?" < p> The smile on Zhou Xi'e's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal. She took a deep breath and said, "Sister, you also know this. My family's money has been used to manage relationships, and I can't get much out of it right now."Mrs. Zhou, no. Moved, she snorted coldly: "Xi'e, we are all a family, and I don't want much. Please see if you can lend me five taels of silver first to meet the emergency. When Daya's marriage is decided, I will pay you back as soon as possible. "
Zhou Xi'e complained secretly in her heart, knowing that Mrs. Zhou was determined to borrow money this time. She pondered for a moment and decided to retreat instead of making progress: "Sister, I really can't get the five taels of silver here. How about this? I'll let Shuitian drive the bullock cart to the town and try my luck to see whether the buffalo is in the town or not. County. If you are in town, ask him to send a message to Buffalo to see if he can go home and see if there is anyone suitable for Da Ya." After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou finally agreed. She nodded: "Okay, let Shuitian go."
Zhou Xi'e breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called Shuitian and asked him to quickly prepare the oxcart to set off.
After hearing his mother's advice, Hongshuitian quickly pulled out the bullock cart and hurried to the town.
Until after the twilight eclipse, the moonlight becomes darker and darker, and late night is approaching.
The sound of an oxcart was heard outside, and Zhou Xie quickly went out to check.
Under the watery moonlight, she saw the brothers Shui Shui Niu and Shui Shui Tian walking side by side.
Zhou Xi'e hurried up to meet him and said happily: "Buffalo, you are finally back!"
She really didn't expect that the buffalo would really come back together.
Shui Niu nodded and said with a smile: "Mom, I just have some free time today, and I am on my way back. It happened that I met a paddy field not far from the city gate."

"Have you eaten? Are you tired from the journey? Come into the house and have a rest." Zhou Xi'e said as she pulled the flooded cow into the house.
When Mrs. Zhou saw Shui Niu coming back, she showed a look of satisfaction on her face.
After entering the house, Mrs. Zhou opened theMouth: "Buffalo, you are back. Your aunt and I are in trouble."
Mrs. Zhou sighed and told her about wanting to borrow money.
Shui Niu frowned and looked at Zhou Xi'e: "Mom, this..."
Zhou Xi'e gave him a look and said: "Buffalo, it's not that Mom doesn't help my aunt. Our family is not well off either."
Mrs. Zhou said hurriedly: "Buffalo, you work for Mr. Wang and know many people. Can you help Da Ya find a good family?"
< p> When Flood Niu heard this, he was stunned.He remembered that his young master was attracted to Chen Zhizhi, but before he could make an appointment with Chen Zhizhi again, he was called by his wife to deliver goods to the capital.
In fact, I just went to see the woman.
And he had this vacation precisely because his young master was away, otherwise he would have to be here to serve him.

"Auntie, don't be anxious about this matter. I will go find out for you tomorrow."
He was not sure about his young master's thoughts, so he planned to delay it for a while. .
Mrs. Zhou couldn't wait for Shui Niu to ask her slowly. When he returned to town tomorrow, he might have to go to the county again, where would she find someone?
"Buffalo, Auntie, I can't afford to delay this matter. The family is urgently waiting for money. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have asked you to find someone for Daya in such a hurry." Mrs. Zhou said eagerly He said, his face full of anxiety and helplessness.
"Auntie, it's getting so late today. Just rest at home. I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow."
Have you ever seen the Flood Niu? He is worldly and has a eloquent mouth. He had a sincere face and a firm tone, "Don't worry, Auntie, I know it well and I will never delay Da Ya's affairs. You, just sleep peacefully and peacefully tonight."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was still anxious, but at least she was comforted.
Late at night, Shui Niu pulled Zhou Xi'e into his room and said in a low voice: "Mom, aunt just borrowed five taels of silver. You can lend the money to aunt tomorrow."
Zhou Xi'e's eyes widened and she said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can we have so much money at home, how can we just lend out five taels of silver casually? Besides, your aunt's character is You still don’t know about sex? How can you expect her to return it if you lend it to her?”
Hong Hongniu nodded and said solemnly, “Mom, I understand your concerns, but I’m thinking about this. If it is handled properly, it will be good for our family."
Zhou Xi'e looked at him with confusion: "What do you mean?"
Hong Niu continued. : "Mom, you also know that I am working as an errand around Mr. Wang. Do you still remember what I mentioned to you before about Da Ya's intention to seduce Mr. Wang?? To tell you the truth, the young master is interested in Chen Zhizhi. If I can make this happen, the young master will definitely reward me.
Zhou Xi'e frowned and asked, "When will the prince come back?" "
Hong Hongniu shook his head: "I'm really not sure about this, but if the young master comes back, there is a high probability that he will see Chen Zhizhi again. If the young master knew that I was responsible for this matter, the reward would definitely be more than five taels. "
Zhou Xi'e thought for a moment and hesitated: "But, Buffalo, what if Prince Wang has forgotten Da Ya a long time ago? "
Shui Niu said firmly: "Mom, let's take a gamble. The young master's feelings for Chen Zhizhi are true. I heard the horseman driving the carriage said that the young master took her to buy clothes and sent her home. If this thing goes through, not only will I get a reward, but I might also be promoted to a personal servant. In that case, even if the monthly money is more than doubled, the steward will definitely marry his daughter to me willingly. "
"Even if we lose the bet, it will only be five taels of silver. Our family will not be unable to live without these five taels of silver. "
Zhou Xi'e still hesitated: "Is this really possible? But what if..."
Hong Guangming listened for a long time and figured it out a long time ago. He said eagerly: "Xi'e, how can there be so many chances! This matter depends on my son. Such a rare opportunity, once missed, will never be seen again. But a mere five taels of silver can buy my son a bright future, so it’s worth it!
Zhou Xi'e gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you. I'll give her the money early tomorrow morning and send her back early." "
After the mother and son had discussed it, Zhou Xi'e went to prepare the money, while Shui Niu secretly planned how to promote this matter as soon as possible after the young master came back.
The next day , before Shui Niu could reply, Zhou Xi'e gave Mrs. Zhou five taels of silver.
"Sister, Shui Niu was thinking about what you told her, so she rushed back to the town before dawn. He said that he would go to the county town to find out for you. The people in this county town are better than those in the town. He was worried that you were in a hurry, so he asked me to lend you this money first, and then you can return it to us when Da Ya marries a good family. "
Mrs. Zhou's wrinkled old face was suddenly filled with smiles, her eyes narrowed to a slit, and she thanked her repeatedly: "Xi'e, thank you so much. I will wait until Da Ya's affairs are completed. Yes, I will pay back the money as soon as possible. "
Zhou Xi'e smiled a little more sincerely when she thought of her son's words, "Sister, we are all one family, we don't talk about two families. I just hope that Da Ya can find a good home. ”
Mrs. Zhou carefully put away the money and left Zhuhai Village towards Guhuai Village in a hurry.
