Da Song a knife

Chapter 260: Hot Goods

After seeing off Lizheng's wife, Xu was still in a good mood.

Zhang Sijiu looked at Xu Shi like that, and was also happy for her - about Zuo Hehua's matter, Xu Shi would be completely depressed.

She deliberately teased Xu: "Is Second Aunt so happy to eat someone else's bowl of butchered vegetables? Afraid our family will suffer?"

Mrs. Xu gave Zhang Sijiu a blank look: "You still dare to laugh at me? But, who cares about that bowl of butchered vegetables? I'm glad that our family has gained face in the village. You don't know, our family used to Butchering a pig, even if someone is invited, they won’t come. Let alone call us.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu is very embarrassed: "Our family used to be poor, and there were no particularly capable people. Although your father was in business, he just started to improve... There are many people who laugh at us behind our backs, and we have a good friendship with us. There are few people here. It’s just a matter of saving face. Now, we didn’t invite Lizheng, but everyone else came. They also came to invite your second uncle. I can’t go, and I have to send food here, which means that our family can be considered as Lizheng. Eyes. Be seen by others."

That's why Lizheng's family is so polite and considerate.

Xu stretched out her hand to touch Zhang Sijiu: "Jiu Niang, our family is getting better and better."

Xu has said this sentence many times in the past six months.

But this time, it was especially exciting.

Before, life got better, but this time, it was because of the improvement of his family's status.

Although this kind of mentality is a little vanity, how many people can not care about face in life?
Zhang Sijiu also laughed: "Second Aunt, our family will get better and better. In the future, when Xiaosong Xiaobai is admitted to Juren and becomes an official, that will be the real glory."

Zhang Sijiu understood Xu's mood very well.Although Li Zheng is not even considered an official, he is actually a bit like a village chief, who also manages the big and small things in a small place, and even has great decision-making power in certain things.Also very prestigious and respected.

If my family can make good friends with such a family, then it is regarded as having a reputation in this place, at least it is no longer an unknown person.

Even Zhang Sijiu thinks this is a good thing - in this kind of society, the higher the social status, the higher the resources and even human rights that can be enjoyed.

After listening to Zhang Sijiu's words, Mrs. Xu smiled even wider, but she didn't take it too seriously: I'm already very good at studying, so how dare I expect so much?It's good enough now.Be content with yourself.

Mrs. Xu almost couldn't wait to tell Mrs. Yang and Zhang Xiaoshan about going to Lizheng's house for dinner.

Mrs. Yang was also excited, but Zhang Xiaoshan was calmer - after all, he was also a person who had worked in the Yamen, so he could not be surprised by favor or humiliation.

Although Zhang Sijiu also really wanted to see how Lizheng's family was slaughtering pigs, but that night, she came to work urgently.

Ke Luo's cat is about to give birth.

She sent a carriage to pick up Zhang Sijiu overnight.

A lantern was hung on the carriage, a small brazier was prepared in the carriage, and a snack and hot drink were prepared for Zhang Sijiu, which can be said to be very thoughtful and considerate.

The servant girl's original words were as follows: "The big lady said, let the little lady Zhang eat up, and she will be energetic after a while. So you don't have to be polite, little lady Zhang."

Zhang Sijiu thanked Zhaoyin with a smile, climbed into the carriage with Zhaoyin, he was not polite, and shared the food with Zhaoyin.

It was the first time for Zhaoyin to sit in such a fragrant, soft, and exquisite carriage, and his whole body felt uncomfortable, and he was so restrained that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

She gnawed the snacks carefully, lest she spill a little scum and stain the embroidered soft cloth seat, and looked carefully at the carriage with the help of the flickering light.

Zhang Sijiu also looked at it curiously for a while: It turns out that the rich people in this era enjoy it like this.

The Yang family also has a carriage, although it is bigger than this carriage, but it probably does not want to be too ostentatious, so it is not as refined and comfortable as this carriage.It can only be regarded as simple and atmospheric beauty.

And this pony carriage is obviously tailor-made by Ke Luo. While focusing on comfort, it also caters to the owner's aesthetics.

After finishing the snacks, Zhaoyin said in a low voice, "This carriage is so beautiful, it must cost a lot of money. Jiuniang, when we have money, I will buy one for you. It will be convenient for you to go out then."

Zhang Sijiu imagined himself riding in such a small carriage to gel pigs or consult animals, and suddenly felt a little messy in the wind: I feel that I am not worthy.

She encouraged Zhaoyin in a somewhat complicated way: "Then you have to work hard to make money."

Zhaoyin is not very confident: "I feel that it may take a long time before I can afford it. I guess I have to kill a lot of pigs—"

Zhang Sijiu couldn't hold back and smiled.

If you really rely on killing pigs to buy this carriage, then when you ride in the carriage, you don't know if your conscience will hurt?It's all hard-earned money!
True hard-earned money - the blood of the little pigs, the sweat of Zhaoyin!
All the way to Ke Luo's house, Ke Luo was already waiting impatiently.

Just as Zhang Sijiu greeted him, before he could finish his sentence, he was pulled over: "Come and take a look, I feel that Yunniang is very uncomfortable!"

Yunniang is the name of the big snow-white cat.

It was lying on the soft cushion, and it was indeed a little listless, with a swollen abdomen. When it saw Ke Luo pulling Zhang Sijiu in, it let out a "meow", and it sounded weak.

Ke Luo's hands were shaking, his face was a little pale, he was holding Zhang Sijiu: "Quickly show Yunniang, is she..."

Zhang Sijiu's arm almost hurt from being pinched.She withdrew her hand and said comfortingly: "Don't be anxious, and don't be afraid. Let me go and see the situation. Besides, childbirth must be a bit painful. You hold on."

But Ke Luo seemed about to cry: "How can I be stable? What should I do if something happens to Yunniang?"

Zhang Sijiu winked at Zhaoyin.

Zhaoyin pulled people away, allowing Zhang Sijiu to free up his hands to play to his heart's content.

Zhang Sijiu went up and gently touched the belly of the big white cat, Yunniang, and found something——

She stared at Yunniang's double-breasted buttons, remained silent for a long time, then turned to Ke Luo and asked, "Are you sure your Yunniang is pregnant?"

This development doesn't look like it has milk at all!
After saying this, Zhang Sijiu couldn't help but confirm Yunniang's gender again.No mistake, it is indeed the mother's.

But Ke Luo was confused by the question at this moment: "What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Sijiu stretched out his hand to press Yunniang's stomach with a complicated expression, and checked the condition of the abdomen gently and carefully - if it was pregnant and about to give birth, at this time, the kitten in the stomach would probably be able to be felt.After all, they are living things, and there will be contractions.

But after touching it for a long time, Zhang Sijiu didn't feel any shape of a kitten, and he didn't feel any contractions...

Combined with the double-breasted situation, Zhang Sijiu met Ke Luo's dazed eyes and said sincerely: "I think it may not be pregnant."
