pastoral pretty girl

Chapter 9
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, after the death of a married woman, her husband’s surname was put on the tombstone. In the mountains, it was even simpler. It was a certain family name, and there was no chance to leave a name. When she was at home, she had a nickname. nothing.

The word Lou Jinniang was clearly engraved on the tombstone in front of him, and the word Xiao did not appear.

Lou Jinniang must be Xiao Jinyi's mother's name, but why did she only write her own name?

Also, who erected this tombstone?Is that the uncle Xiao Jinyi was talking about?What is the relationship between that man and Lou Jinniang?
"Lady, look, this is my treasure." Just as Song Qingge was thinking, Xiao Jinyi dug a hole under Lou Jinniang's grave, took out a box, and put it in Song Qingge's hands like a treasure.

Song Qingge did not expect that there was a box hidden in the cemetery, and opened it curiously, and found a jade pendant inside.

"Mother left this to Dabao, with a small snake engraved on it. Mother said it was Dabao's secret and could not be given to anyone, not even uncle and wife."

Xiao Jinyi said flatteringly, because he liked Song Qingge so much, he wished he could show her everything.

only--

"Ah! You can't show it to the lady."

Song Qingge just opened the box and saw the jade pendant inside, before he could see the pattern on it, the box was snatched away by Xiao Jinyi, muttering what his mother said that he could not show it to others, he quickly buried the box again.

Xiao Jinyi was a little clever. After burying it, he sprinkled another layer of soil, threw some stones and dry branches, and it didn't look like it had been dug up.

"Huh! It's buried, let's go." It seemed that he came here in a hurry just to show Song Qingge the jade pendant.

Song Qingge had a good impression of the woman buried in the soil, and didn't want to pry into her secrets, so she didn't dig out the jade pendant to check, and left with Xiao Jinyi with a smile.

After the corn in the yard is cut away, a foot-long tip is left. If you step on or fall on it without paying attention, it is easy to get injured.

"Dabao, can you find something to dig these away?"

Xiao Jinyi has great strength and is more than 1.8 meters tall, so he is very suitable for this job.

"I'll go right away. I help my mother with the work every year." Xiao Jinyi ran to the thatched shed behind the thatched house, found a picket, and worked hard on the planing.

Song Qingge also walked around the thatched shed and found a basin. There was a well in the yard. After the water was brought up, she went to clean up the house. Fortunately, there was nothing in the house and it was easy to clean up.

The day ended with work, and after everything was packed, an orange-red sunset hung on the horizon.

Standing in the countryside halfway up the mountain, looking at the golden fields below the mountain, there is a shocking beauty.

"Ok?"

While Song Qingge was admiring the rare beauty in her previous life, she suddenly saw a sturdy and familiar figure appearing on the only path leading to the courtyard on the mountain.

"Dabao, is that your uncle?" Song Qingge vaguely felt that the shadow was Xiao Dashan, the uncle who saw Xiao Jinyi in the morning.

Xiao Jinyi looked down, and unconsciously shrank behind Song Qingge, "It's uncle, mother said to keep Dabao away from uncle."

When the old lady of the Xiao family and the eldest daughter-in-law pushed her and Xiao Jinyi away, everyone in the Xiao family knew about it, and no one came out to dissuade them. They really wanted them to leave quickly, but what did Xiao Dashan come to do in the evening?
