Chapter 7 Sister
Judging from their outfit, they were officials in the yamen. It seemed that the city gate was not under the jurisdiction of the guards, but in the county government.
There are also weapons, which are a half-person-high round wooden stick. The end in your hand is thinner, and then it gets thicker and thicker.
If this wooden stick really hits the body, it will be half a life even if it doesn't die.
"Where are you?" A doorkeeper asked Zhang Jiuyan, his voice very rough and gave people a sense of majesty.
Zhang Jiuyan smiled and replied, "I am from Zhangjia Village twenty miles outside the city. My name is Zhang Jiuyan. I come to the city to visit my sister. She is married in the city."
"Which street is your sister in the city?"
"Marry to the Li Fugui family in Baoshan Lane."
While asking, the official looked up and down at Zhang Jiuyan, especially Zhang Jiuyan's eyes, and the official focused on observation.
Although Zhang Jiuyan was questioned and felt uncomfortable, he also recognized the officer's serious and responsible work attitude.
Seeing that Zhang Jiuyan was normal, the official asked Zhang Jiuyan to pay a penny to enter the city, and let it go, and it was not too difficult.
Zhang Jiuyan nodded and thanked him, and went in.
As soon as I entered the city, I saw shops on both sides of the street, one by one, and the signs at the entrance of the store were also of various types.
There are long signs hanging vertically, some hanging horizontally on the storefront, and some are made of them floating high like flags.
Although the specifications are different, they feel good.
However, compared with the dense shops, their sales are not good. There are not many pedestrians on the street. Everyone has a good face, most of them are numb, and few look at their shops.
Maybe this situation has not been a day or two, so many of these stores have closed down, and even resale signs are on it.
As for small stall vendors, there are almost no, very few.
This is in sharp contrast to the bustling and prosperous imagined by Zhang Jiuyan.
However, Zhang Jiuyan realized that the years have become worse and worse, and most of the people have difficulty in their lives. I even heard that some places have already been barren.
In such a general environment, only if you can sell and sell will be a ghost.
There was a pitiful scene on the depressed streets, that was that there were many beggars begging on the streets,
However, unlike later generations, if these beggars do not give alms, most of them will not chase after them and will not give them too much disgusting.
Zhang Jiuyan walked on the street, feeling the depression on the street, and felt more and more urgent about the coming of this troubled times, but Zhang Jiuyan was powerless at this time.
However, Zhang Jiuyan still did not give up because he wanted to live, and he wanted to live.
With the memory of the body's original deity, Zhang Jiuyan walked through two streets, came to Baoshan Lane, and found his sister's house.
He knocked on the door of his sister's house, and soon the voice of his sister Zhang Zhaodi came from inside, "Who is that?"
"Sister, it's me."
"Jiuyan, you are here, wait a moment, I'll open the door for you." My sister's voice seemed overjoyed, and Zhang Jiuyan was also happy.
After a while, the door opened and Zhang Jiuyan met his sister Zhang Zhaodi.
At this time, Zhang Zhaodi was five months pregnant and could see his belly, and he got older and older every day. Zhang Zhaodi was always very careful, for fear of being bumped into it.
In fact, more than three years ago, Zhang Jiuyan's sister was pregnant once, but she did not keep her miscarriage. This was her first child. She was full of infinite expectations for the child, but who would have thought that she did not keep her.
That time, Sister Zhang Jiuyan cried so hard that it was dark.
I have been wanting to have another one for the next three years, but I can't do it as I wish. I have been complained and rolled my eyes a lot from my husband's family for this matter.
In fact, according to the memory of the body, Zhang Jiuyan judged that his sister was too tired because she couldn't keep up with her nutrition and was doing housework at home. This was the miscarriage caused.
This is why Zhang Jiuyan was in a hurry to see her sister after just three days of traveling through time, and she wanted to remind her not to be too tired.
However, when Zhang Jiuyan saw his sister, he became angry and angry with his brother-in-law Li Fugui.
Because at this time, my sister's sleeves were tied up high, and she also had a scarf on her body, and some grass roots could be seen on her hair.
This is obviously just washing and cooking. It’s been five months since she was a miscarriage before, so how could she still let her do so much work?
Couple, my sister is still serving their family at this time?
"Jiuyan, you are here, come in quickly." The sister looked happy and pulled Zhang Jiuyan in.
Zhang Jiuyan said angrily: "Sister, you have a body, how can you still be so tired? My brother-in-law, I'll go find him."
Zhang Jiuyan stepped into the house, but his sister couldn't even hold on.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a large laundry tray in the yard, and there were many clothes waiting to be cleaned.
Looking inside the room, I saw my sister's mother-in-law Liu sitting kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva statue, chanting Buddhist scriptures with her eyes closed.
Zhang Jiuyan was so angry that he was not angry. Is there anyone who is a mother-in-law like this in the world? His daughter-in-law is pregnant and she is still tired, but you are chanting Buddha's name with peace of mind. Isn't this nonsense?
Zhang Jiuyan walked quickly to Liu. Although he was very angry, Zhang Jiuyan respected her as an elder and tried hard to restrain his emotions and said:
"Aunt, my sister is pregnant and her belly is so big. You asked her to do so much work, right? Isn't that right? She is also from your Li family in her belly."
Liu looked up at Zhang Jiuyan, but did not speak immediately, but closed his eyes again, muttering something, finally folded his hands together and kowtowed to the statue of the Bodhisattva.
After doing all this, Liu glared at Zhang Jiuyan and cursed: "This is our Li family's business. When will it be your turn, a country monkey, worrying?"
After saying that, Liu glanced at Zhang Jiuyan's sister, and then said, "What's wrong with pregnancy? I became an empress when I was pregnant? I was still cooking and washing clothes until I was about to give birth. Why is your sister so precious?"
The Li family has always been relying on the fact that they are from the city and look down on Zhang Jiuyan's family. They often sarcastically sarcasticize Zhang Jiuyan's sister. Zhang Jiuyan's parents are resentful about this matter and basically do not come to the Li family.
Zhang Jiuyan was angry and knew that Liu was mean, but he didn't expect to say so unreasonable. "Aunt, you are a person who eats vegetarian food and chants Buddha's name. How could you say such words?
Even if your mother-in-law was not good to you back then, you can’t get angry on my sister’s head. Where is my brother-in-law, I’ll tell him?"
Liu is not a good man, "Don't tell my son that I will be the leader of this family."
"you."
Sister Zhang Jiuyan quickly came up to persuade him, for fear that Zhang Jiuyan would be impulsive and pulled Zhang Jiuyan and asked him to say less.
