It was early summer, and Yongzhou was not too hot, so Li Xin took the ninth princess around the thatched house, and then led her towards her mother's grave.

At this time, the tomb has been basically completed, the original low earthen bag has long disappeared, replaced by a large mausoleum, next to the tomb also placed a kind of stone man stone horse, Shinto from the tomb all the way to the thatched house of Li Xin's house, very magnificent.

There is only one tombstone left, and this tomb is considered complete.

The Ninth Princess walked behind Li Xin, looked left and right at the Shinto, and then frowned and said: "This Shinto is not wide enough, and the stone people and stone horses are not as good as the second-grade regulations, so you are still watching here, and you don't let them have a snack." ”

The stonemasons of Yongzhou City, who have died repairing tombs for people at the prefect level, how can they know so many details, even Li Xin himself is not very clear about these regulations, he shook his head at the moment, and said with a smile: "Don't care about so much, this is enough, those people in Qiyang County pass by here, and they can't wait to die young immediately and lie inside." ”

The Ninth Princess frowned.

"They dare!"

"There are not a few second-class county ladies in the entire imperial court, and this kind of grave is also what they say they will sleep on?"

As she spoke, she looked left and right, and continued to Li Xin: "Chang'an, if you want me to say, it's better to put ... The old man's grave was moved to the capital, and he asked Jing Zhaoyin to grant a piece of land, and then let the people from the Ministry of Industry get it. ”

Since Li Xin already has a table name, then the peers should not call him by his name, although the ninth princess is a little arrogant at some times, but she still knows the rules very well in this kind of big thing, since Ye Sheng gave Li Xin the table word, she rarely calls Li Xin by his name anymore.

Li Xin shook his head slowly.

"You don't know my mother, she is more afraid of people, in addition to selling embroidery in the mountains for more than ten years, she has not been out of the door once, let her stay quietly in Qishan, when she arrives in the capital, I am afraid that she will be noisy."

There are too many people buried in the capital.

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

The smile on Li Xin's face retracted, straightened out his clothes, and knelt down respectfully in front of the stone pile.

"Auntie, my son brought his daughter-in-law to see you coming."

The ninth princess behind her was slightly red, but she still gritted her teeth, knelt down with Li Xin, and also opened her mouth to call her mother.

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

She knelt down and kowtowed three times to the grave.

"Mother is at ease in heaven, and I will live a good life with Chang'an in the future."

According to the etiquette system, she is not Li Xin's wife now, and the two of them will have to wait at least until the end of the year, and the mourning period of Chengde Tianzi will not be able to complete the marriage, but at this time, the marriage has been decided, and the ninth princess also knows that she may not be able to come to Qiyang County several times in her life, so she simply shouted with Li Xin.

Hardly, she also knelt down.

According to the rules, Mo said that the two people have not yet married, that is, the two of them have already married, and as the ninth princess, there is no need to kneel to Li Xin's parents at all, maybe Li Xin's parents will have to salute her, but she knelt down.

This is not a very proper practice, if it weren't for the fact that she really likes Li Xin, as an imperial princess, it would be impossible to do such a thing.

Li Xin stood up, stretched out his hand to help the ninth princess up, and the two of them left the tomb about ten zhang away, and after they were not in front of the spirit, Li Xin put away his seriousness, and a smile resurfaced on his face.

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

The ninth princess pinched hard under Li Xin's ribs.

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

The two men talked all the way and walked down the mountain.

When Li Xin is alone, he can still be nostalgic in the thatched house, but this sister who is the son of today, it is unlikely that she will live in the mountains anyway, so Li Xin still has to take her back to the county seat.

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

The stone is rectangular in shape, and it has not yet had time to be cut into a square tablet, but the purpose is already obvious, this is the tombstone of the mother.

The leader walked in front and shouted the trumpet.

"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 trembling all over their bodies, especially their legs, and they couldn't stop swinging.

This stone is too heavy, to say the least, it is thousands of catties, and it is transported from the foot of Qishan Mountain, and few people can afford it.

Li Xin tilted his head slightly, a little unbearable to look at it.

Two groups of people staggered.

Seeing Li Xin's appearance, the ninth princess sighed: "You pity them? ”

Li Xin took a deep breath and smiled reluctantly.

"A word came to mind."

"A wisp of it, it's hard to keep thinking about things..."

In his previous life, Li Xin was also such a laboring public, so when he saw this situation, he was a little touched.

He rolled up his sleeves and smiled at the Ninth Princess.

"You wait here for me for a moment."

The Ninth Princess's eyes widened: "What are you going to do?" ”

"My mother's monument, I should naturally do my part."

As he spoke, Li Xin trotted all the way and caught up with the team of dozens of people, and he stood at the bottom, holding his shoulders against the boulder.

Although Li Xin often comes to Qishan, there are still many people who don't know who he is, and seeing him like this at this time, a forty or fifty-year-old man next to him suddenly said anxiously: "Baby, don't stand below, you have to stand next to you!" ”

This stone weighs thousands of pounds, and once someone can't hold on to the stone and get out of his hand, the person standing below will immediately be seriously injured or even die on the spot!

When Li Xin heard this, he hurriedly stood beside him, shouting with these people while exerting his strength.

The stone is just too heavy.

After only a while, Li Xin's whole body was already wet with sweat.

Fortunately, he had been practicing the boxing pile diligently for more than a year, and he could barely grit 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 landed.

The uncle reminded Li Xin again.

"Baby, be careful, don't hold your feet down......"

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

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

The one who shouted in front of him carried a bag of copper coins, and handed them out one by one.

Fifty dollars for one person.

Originally, working on the mountain would cost twenty or thirty dollars a day, but it was too hard to move this big stone, so one person was given fifty copper coins.

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

Someone walked up to him.

"Little brother, get the money."

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

The man grinned: "If you do your best, why don't you want money?" ”

Li Xin spoke the authentic Qiyang dialect, and he was dirty all over at this time, and no one recognized him.

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

"Qiyang Li Xin, my mother repaired the grave, thank you for your help."

In life, you can not care about right or wrong in doing things, but you must ask for peace of mind.

After saying this, Li Xin felt a lot more relieved.
