Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 365 But peace of mind

   It was early summer and Yongzhou was not too hot. Li Xin took the nine princesses around the thatched cottage, and then took her towards his mother's grave.

At this moment, the tomb has been basically completed. The original low earthen bag has long since disappeared, replaced by a very large mausoleum. There is also a kind of stone man and stone horse next to the tomb passage. It leads all the way to the thatched hut at Li Xin's house, which is very imposing.

   There is only one tombstone missing, and the tomb is complete.

The Ninth Princess walked behind Li Xin, looked around the Shinto, then frowned and said, "This Shinto is not wide enough, and the stone people and horses are not under the regulation of the second rank. It's a pity that you are still watching here and don't let them go. dessert."

The masons in Yongzhou City died and repaired tombs for people at the prefect level. How could he know so many details? Even Li Xin himself was not very clear about these regulations, so he shook his head and smiled: "No need. If you care so much, that's enough, those people in Qiyang County who pass by here wish they could die young and lie in it right away."

   Nine princesses raised their brows.

   "They dare!"

   "There aren't many county ladies in the entire imperial court. This kind of tomb is also where they sleep when they say it is?"

As she said that, she looked left and right, and continued to Li Xin: "Chang'an, if you want me to say, it's better to move... the old man's grave to the capital, and then let Jing Zhaoyin approve the plot of land, and then let the Ministry of Industry's People go to it, this kind of rural land is too ugly."

Since Li Xin already has a script, people of the same generation should not call him by his name. Although the Ninth Princess is a bit arrogant at times, she still knows the rules when it comes to this kind of important matter. She took it from Ye Sheng to Li Xin. After the words were written, she rarely called Li Xin's name directly.

  Li Xin shook his head slowly.

"You don't know my mother, she is more afraid of strangers. She has been hiding in the mountains for more than ten years, except for selling embroidery, and she has never been out of the gate. Let her stay in Qishan quietly. When I get to the capital, I will I'm afraid she'll be too noisy."

  There are too many people buried in the capital.

   The two of them walked and talked, and after a while, the Shinto was finished, and when they reached the tomb, the tombstone had not been erected yet, and only a stone was piled here.

   The smile on Li Xin's face subsided, he sorted out his clothes, and kneeled respectfully in front of the pile of stones.

   "Auntie, my son is here with his daughter-in-law to see you."

   The Ninth Princess behind her blushed slightly, but she still gritted her teeth, knelt down with Li Xin, and called her mother.

   "Mother, I am Chang'an's daughter-in-law."

   She bowed her head and knelt down and kowtowed three times to the grave.

   "Mom is at ease in the sky, I will live with Chang'an in the future."

According to the etiquette system, she is not Li Xin's wife yet, and the two of them will have to wait until the end of the year at least, when the mourning period of the emperor of Chengde has passed before they can get married. time, so I simply followed Li Xin and shouted.

  To the hardest, she knelt down as well.

According to the rules, not to mention that the two of them are not married yet, that is, they are already married. As the nine princesses, there is no need to kneel to Li Xin's parents at all. Maybe Li Xin's parents will give her a salute, but she He just knelt down.

   This is an unethical practice. If she hadn't really liked Li Xin, as an imperial princess, it would be impossible for her to do such a thing.

  Li Xin stood up, stretched out his hand to help the nine princesses up, and the two left the tomb about ten feet away. After they were no longer in front of the spirit, Li Xin put away his seriousness and smiled again.

   "I just heard that you said you were my daughter-in-law."

   The nine princesses pinched hard under Li Xin's ribs.

   "That's for my mother, not for you."

   The two of them talked all the way and walked down the mountain.

   When Li Xin was alone, he could still be nostalgic in the thatched hut, but this younger sister, who is today, is unlikely to let her live in the mountains anyway, so Li Xin still has to take her back to the county seat.

   On their way down the mountain, they happened to see dozens of people carrying a huge stone up the mountain.

  This stone is rectangular as a whole, and it has not had time to cut it into a square tablet, but the purpose is already obvious. This is the tombstone of my mother.

   The one who was in the lead was walking at the front and shouting.

   "One two one..."

   "One two one...!"

   Dozens of people sweated like rain, desperately trying to transport the boulder up the mountain.

  The group of people walking below were shaking all over, especially their legs, and they were all swaying.

  This stone is too heavy, at least several thousand catties. It was transported from the foot of Qishan Mountain, and few people could bear it.

  Li Xin turned his head slightly, a little hesitant to look at it.

  Two groups of people passed by.

   Nine princesses saw Li Xin like this and sighed: "You pity them?"

   Li Xin took a deep breath and forced a smile.

   "I thought of a sentence."

   "One strand after another, Hengnian's material resources are very difficult..."

   In the past life, Li Xin was also such a hard worker, so when he saw this situation, he was a little touched.

   He rolled up his sleeves and smiled at the Nine Princesses.

   "You wait here for me for a while."

   Nine princesses widened their eyes: "What are you going to do?"

   "My mother's monument, of course I should also do my part."

   said, Li Xin trotted all the way and caught up with the group of dozens of people. He stood at the bottom and pressed his shoulders against the boulder.

Although Li Xin often comes to Qishan, many people still don't know who he is. Seeing him like this, a man in his 40s and 50s next to him suddenly said anxiously, "Wa'er, don't stand below, Just stand by the side!"

  This stone weighs thousands of pounds. Once someone can't hold on to the stone and let go of it, the person standing below will be seriously injured or even die on the spot!

  Li Xin heard the words and quickly stood aside, shouting along with these people while exerting his strength.

   This stone is too heavy.

   After a while, Li Xin was soaked with sweat.

  Fortunately, he has been practicing boxing stances diligently for more than a year, barely clenching his teeth to support it, and it was not until almost evening that everyone lifted the boulder to the flat ground in the mountain.

The    boulder slowly fell to the ground.

   The old uncle reminded Li Xin again.

   "Baby, be careful, don't press your feet..."

  Li Xin nodded, everyone worked hard together, and finally put the big stone down.

   Dozens of men, gasping for breath at the same time, collapsed to the ground.

   The one who was shouting in front was carrying a bag of copper coins and handing them out one by one.

   Fifty dollars per person.

   Originally working on the mountain, he was only 20 to 30 coins a day, but it was too hard to move this big rock, so one person gave 50 coins.

   Li Xin lay directly on the ground, all his clothes soaked.

   Someone came up to him.

   "Little brother, I got the money."

  Li Xin reluctantly sat up and shook his head at the man who sent the money: "I don't need money."

   This man grinned: "Why don't you want money for your efforts?"

   Li Xin speaks authentic Qiyang dialect, and he is so dirty now that no one recognizes him.

   After taking a few more breaths, Li Xin climbed up with his arms propped up, and then he walked to the big rock and bowed deeply in front of about forty or fifty men.

   "Qiyang Li Xin, my mother repaired the grave, thank the villagers and fathers for helping me."

   In life, you can do things regardless of right or wrong, but you must have peace of mind.

   After saying this, Li Xin felt a lot more at ease.

   Eh, I have a cold and fever, and I have been sleeping until now after taking the medicine. There may be two chapters today, and there will be another chapter in a while.

   There is another... I recommend a book by a real friend, "You Yin", a martial arts genre, the writing is very good, if you are interested, you can read it...
