Unparalleled Concubine

Since Li Xin already has a nickname, people of the same generation should not call him by his name directly. Although the Ninth Princess is a bit arrogant at times, she still knows the rules when it comes to such important matters. After writing the letter, she seldom called Li Xin by his name directly.

Li Xin shook his head slowly.

"You don't know my mother. She is afraid of strangers. She has been hiding in the mountains for more than ten years except for selling embroidery. She has never been out of the house once. Let her stay in Qishan quietly. When we arrive in the capital, we will Afraid that she would be too noisy."

There are too many people buried in the capital.

The two talked while walking, and after a while, the Shinto was finished, and they arrived in front of the tomb. At this moment, the tombstone has not been erected, and there is only a stone pile here.

The smile on Li Xin's face faded, he straightened his clothes, and kneeled respectfully in front of the stone pile.

"Mother, my son brought his wife to see you coming."

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 knelt down and kowtowed three times to the grave.

"Mother is at ease in heaven, I will live a good life 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 Emperor Chengde's funeral has passed before they can get married. time, so I simply followed Li Xin and shouted.

What was difficult was that she also knelt down.

According to the rules, not to mention that the two are not yet married, even if the two are already married, as the Ninth Princess, there is no need to kneel down to Li Xin's parents at all, maybe Li Xin's parents have to salute her, but she He just knelt down.

This is an unruly way. If she didn't really like Li Xin, as the princess of the empire, it would be impossible to do such a thing.

Li Xin stood up, and stretched out his hand to help Princess Jiu up. The two of them left the grave about ten feet away, and after they were no longer in front of the coffin, Li Xin put away his seriousness, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"I just heard that you said you are my wife."

Ninth Princess pinched Li Xin severely.

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

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

When Li Xin is alone, he can still feel nostalgic in the thatched cottage, but this is the younger sister of today's son, it is impossible to let her live in the mountains anyway, so Li Xin still wants to take her back to the county.

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

This stone is rectangular in shape as a whole, and it has not yet been cut into obelisks, but its purpose is already obvious. This is my mother's tombstone.

A person in the lead walked in the front and yelled.

"One two one..."

"One two one...!"

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

The group of people walking below were shaking all over their bodies, especially their legs, which couldn't help shaking.

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

Li Xin turned his head slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable looking at it.

Two groups of people staggered past.

Seeing Li Xin like this, Princess Nine sighed: "You pity them?"

Li Xin took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"I thought of a word."

"One strand at a time, the constant memory is struggling..."

In his previous life, Li Xin was also such a laboring public, so seeing this situation, he felt a little emotional.

He rolled up his sleeves and smiled at Princess Nine.

"You wait for me here for a while."

Ninth Princess stared wide-eyed: "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. He stood at the bottom and put his shoulders against the boulder.

Although Li Xin often comes to Mount Qi, there are still many people who don't know who he is. Seeing him like this, a 50-[-]-year-old man next to him suddenly said anxiously: "Baby, don't stand below, stand up!" Only by the side!"

This stone weighs thousands of kilograms. If 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!

Hearing this, Li Xin quickly stood aside, shouting with these people while exerting his strength.

This stone is simply too heavy.

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

Fortunately, he had been practicing boxing for more than a year, and he gritted his teeth to support it. It was not until late in the evening that the crowd lifted this huge boulder to the flat ground in the mountain.

The boulder fell slowly.

The 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 rock down.

Dozens of men gasped for breath at the same time and collapsed to the ground.

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

Fifty dollars per person.

Originally working on the mountain cost only twenty or thirty copper coins a day, but moving this big rock was too hard, so one person was given fifty copper coins.

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

Someone walked up to him.

"Little brother, I have received the money."

Only then did Li Xin barely sit up, and shook his head at the man who handed out the money: "I don't need money."

The man grinned: "Why don't you pay for your efforts?"
