If it weren't for the sake of his father's words to entrap the family and try to develop, he wouldn't even bother to look at the woman, let alone marry her back.

hated him for making such a big sacrifice, but his father still refused to be accommodating, not only did he not take money to gamble with him, but also informed the entire Zhou Mansion that no one was allowed to lend money to him, saying that once someone supported him and was discovered by him, he would drive that person out of the Zhou family.

I can only find my mother for help now! But his mother had given him a thousand taels yesterday, saying that she had finally pressed the silver at the bottom of the box.

Zhou Yuanda scratched his head irritably: I don't know if I can get the silver when I go to my mother at this time?

Zhou Yuanda thought to himself: If his mother didn't give him money to spend, he would steal her jewelry and sell it. He remembered that last summer, his mother sent someone to Qing'an County to buy a set of expensive gold ornaments, spent more than 3,000 taels of silver, locked it in a pear blossom wooden box under the bed in her house, and pressed it to sleep every day.

If he takes it out and sells it, he can sell it for at least two thousand taels. With these two thousand taels, he will definitely be able to turn the book! Maybe after winning back all the lost silver, he can win more silver, which solves his father's urgent need and makes him look up to him!

The more Zhou Yuanda thought about it, the more excited he became, and his mood finally improved. He was filled with a bright smile, and his whole person was shining, and he couldn't help blushing when he saw his maid along the way. Just looking at his skin, it's superb.

After a short time, he came to the main room of the upper courtyard, and before he could push the door in, he heard his parents scolding loudly.

He hid under the window and eavesdropped, it turned out that the Zhou family came to relatives today, and he hated the family surnamed Cen for slapping their swollen faces and being fat, borrowing other people's money to pretend to be wide, and trying to deceive them The Zhou family paid off the debts for the Cen family. If it weren't for the fact that the group of dart masters couldn't bear to tell the truth, their Zhou family would be in big trouble this time!

Zhou Yuanda said lightly, the feng shui of the Zhou family is really bad recently! I almost fell into bad luck. He listened again, why did his mother say that she had hidden a lot of Cen family's meeting gifts, and they were still quite valuable jewelry! Isn't that what it was for him?

Originally, he thought that if he took his mother's most precious jewelry and sold it, his mother would be angry with him. Now with the Cen family's gifts, all problems have been solved.

Zhou Yuanda has made up his mind. He stopped eavesdropping, quietly left the upper courtyard, and returned to his own courtyard, planning to sleep with an evening meal first. Wait until the mother is asleep in the middle of the night, and then go to her room to get something and go out.

Calculate the time, ride a horse to the east of the town just to catch the door of the Zhenyu Pavilion to open the door, change the silver, and there is still a lot of time to go to the Anjia gambling house. Enough for him to gamble to the fullest.

……

Early the next morning, Cen Erniang's family had breakfast in the side courtyard of the Anping Town Branch of the Hongwei Dart Bureau, Cen Erniang and Cen Sanlang stayed behind to take care of the bedridden Lin, and the still crazy Granny Feng, who was taken care of by the rough mother-in-law of the Bureau.

Second Master Cen took the silver, and went out to buy a house with the six dart masters under Cen Dalang, Yumo and Lin Siye.

Last night, Second Master Cen had already inquired with a local dart master in the sub-bureau that most of the land in the east of the town belonged to the An family. In particular, the few streets near the substation are all settled properties. Two blocks behind the precinct. There is a spacious two-entry house, which is the courtyard of the large house of the Anjia, which has its own orchard, bought the house, and also attached a few hectares of fertile land around the house.

I heard that the three young people who settled in the big house lost money in the business outside, and needed silver to fill the vacancy, and the big house lived in Qing'an County for a long time, and almost didn't go back to Anping Town, and it was useless to keep the house. Therefore, the big house of the big man An. Then he put the house on the house and put it up for sale.

But because his asking price was too high, he would not sell it if it was less than 5,000 taels. The rich businessmen who could afford to buy that house and came to Anping Town to do business, only lived here in the spring, and it was not cost-effective to buy such a house; And the locals want to buy. But they couldn't afford it. As a result, the house was put up for sale in the house for several days, but it was not sold.

That night, Cen Erye's family listened to the general description of the house by the dart master, and knew that it was on the eastern edge of the town, the environment was quiet, and there was a small bridge and flowing water in the house. The orchard is several acres, and there are fertile fields outside the house, and you can also overlook the green mountains and rivers in the house, which is really a good place.

There is another big advantage of buying that house, that is, the house is not far from the An family's mansion, and it is protected by the An family. Ordinary villagers don't dare to fight the idea of the house, let alone make trouble there.

The An family is the largest family in Anping Town, and more than 100 years ago, it was the largest family in Anping Town. The people of the An family seem to be born with a business mind, with the side branches of the An family, several generations of multiplication and management, and now the An family, not only rich, but also capable of countless people, and they are also very united.

In Anping Town, no one dared to go against the An family, even the Zhou family and the Zhong family, they didn't dare to plunder their edge.

Although the Zhou family and the Zhong family are known as one of the three major families in Anping Town, the clansmen inside are far less numerous and brilliant than the An family, and the accumulation of wealth is even less than the An family.

If it weren't for twenty or thirty years ago, most of the people of the An family left Anping Town, took away a lot of wealth and clansmen, and went outside to develop, leaving only a small number of clansmen to guard this place. Anping Town has no part in talking to the Zhou family and the Zhong family at all.

Even so, the settlement family should not be underestimated. It is the prefect of Huaizhou Prefecture and the prefect of Qing'an County, and they also have to sell Anjia's thin noodles.

A few years ago, Anping Town broke out a rare flash flood in a century, or the An family noticed it early, and vigorously dug out a big river, draining most of the flood, saving the lives and property of countless villagers in Anping Town, making the prestige of the An family in Anping Town skyrocketing.

The locals all respect An Jia very much, and whoever says that An Jia is not a word, they will be besieged.

Now the big river is ten miles east of the town. It is said that the small river in the mansion that Master An wants to sell is a branch of the big river.

After listening to a lot of descriptions of the house and the An family, Second Master Cen and his family had almost made up their minds to buy the house. Not only because the house itself is good enough, but also because it is close to the Anjia mansion and protected by the Anjia.

In order to avoid the covetousness and assassination of people with intentions, the Cen family has a relationship with the An family and gets the shelter of the An family, which will reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles and threats to them.

Cen Erye and others first went to the Anjia Fangya House, which is located on the same Xianglin Street as the sub-bureau, and asked many questions about the house from the chief steward of the Fangya Office, and under the leadership of the chief steward, they personally visited the house and the surrounding fertile fields, and carefully inspected the house on the spot, and found that it was really as good as described, so they made up their minds to buy it.

Second Master Cen immediately took out a stack of thick silver tickets from his purse and gave it to the steward of the room, "Steward Anda, this is six thousand taels of silver." Five thousand taels of them are the money to buy this house, and the remaining one thousand taels are to be bothered by the steward to send people to repair the damaged places inside for me, and then change the furniture in the house, just use ordinary yellow peach wood, and by the way, tidy up the courtyard.
