After the busy farming season, Lü went to Baoguo Temple to pick up auspicious days, so that he could get on the shore.

There are beams on the roof, and there are grains at home. There are no beams on the roof, and the six animals are not prosperous. It is enough to be seen. The importance of the upper beam is the lifeblood.

As early as a month ago, Tang Dashan, with Carpenter Xia and more than a dozen people, went into the mountain to select beams and wood.

Beams and wood must be fir. Fir is a beam that is neither prone to decay nor is less eaten by termites. This house has been lived in for decades and must be durable.

For beams, you should choose a straight and towering fir tree with lush branches and leaves. The longer the tree age, the better, it should be neither long nor short, just as appropriate. The shape of the tree should be as consistent as possible from bottom to top. The selected beams should have many small fir trees around, the more the better, which means more children and grandchildren. If it is a single tree, the others will be suitable and cannot be selected.

Good omen, good hope.

Tang Dahai will tie the beams and wood with red cloth.

When cutting down beams, you cannot destroy the surrounding small fir trees.

"Let's push it a little bit, and you have to fall in this direction, south, and to fall in the south! Never fall in other directions! Otherwise, it will be in vain..." Carpenter Xia shouted loudly.

"Okay..." Qiqi responded.

The tree was cut down with an axe and axe, and it was almost cut off, and one person cut it in one direction.

"It feels almost done. I push it towards the south. Can I push it down..."

Another axe was chopped, "Boom..."

"Okay, facing the south..." Xia Carpenter was very satisfied. "Brother Dahai, are you ready for this red envelope?"

"Here. Here, if you don't remind me, I don't know if there is such a priority..." Tang Dahai took out the red envelope and put it on his palm.

"Put it on this tree stump..." Tang Dahai, as he ordered, placed the red envelope flat on the tree stump.

More than a dozen people worked together to carry Liangmu down the mountain and walked down the mountain in a mighty manner.

There are no suitable fir trees on the periphery of Zhaobao Mountain. Many times, you have to enter the inner mountain to pick the right one. And the beams are not careless, so more than a dozen people usually go into the mountain to find beams.

Mrs. Lu had prepared the meal in the yard, waiting for Tang Dahai and others to return.

After drinking and eating, the Lü gave them red envelopes one by one and sent them out. Although they didn't pack much, they were still very objective. One red envelope contained fifty-eight copper plates.

Even the day when the beam is started, we have to choose auspicious days. The summer carpenter must light three incense sticks and then set off two firecrackers before starting to make.

Carpenter Xia cut off the front and rear parts of the beams and wood, leaving only the middle. During the beam making process, people are not allowed to cross the beams.

Therefore, in recent days, the Lu family has been really diligent in going to Baoguo Temple and has paid a lot of money for indulgence and oil. We have to choose the days to choose beams, make beams, sacrifice beams, and put up beams.

Sacrifice to the beam is an indispensable step before the beam is raised. The craftsmen lift the main beams with red silk hanging on both ends into front of the new house and place them.

Mrs. Lu put on the altar early on. On the altar are offerings such as pigs, fish, chickens, gooses, eggs, tofu, incense and candles. Pigs are "full pigs". Some families use one pig's head and one pig's tail, which means a whole pig. Tang Dahai's family is actually a pig. After all, it may be just this time in their lifetime. Tang Dahai is very cautious.

The offering started to be planned early, fearing that something would be missed, so I went to the village to ask many elderly people who knew the rules.

On the offering, a couplet was pasted with yellow paper, and the words "I am happy to meet the zodiac sun, and the pillar meets the purple star by chance." This is a couplet commonly used for offering sacrifices to the beam.

However, the Tang family specially invited Master Liang to worship. The house in this village was basically a carpenter, and the bricklayer replaced Master Liang, and just said good things and worshiped early.

When the sacrifice was placed, I saw the Liang Master taking a big wine pot and singing the lyrics of the upper beam in his mouth. While singing, the wine pot was poured from the top of the beam to the end of the beam. The speed was very slow, and the wine dripping was not much or less, and it was very symmetrical.

"One sacrifices to the head of the beam, and the title of marquis for thousands of miles; two sacrifices to the tail of the beam, and the preciousness to the end; three sacrifices to the waist of the beam, and the colorful ribbons fluttered; four sacrifices to the belly of the beam, and a thousand years of wealth. One sacrifices to the heavens, and the sacrifices to the gods and immortals... The beam of the house rose to the mouth of the beam, and gold, silver and treasures were filled with the battle."

The villagers listened to the Shangliang Ci novel, which I had never heard before.

"I have never heard such a nice lyric... It sounds much better than it is..."

"That's right, this is the first time I heard it. My father-in-law said that when Qian Juren took the beam, he also had the words to raise the beam..."

"Brother, you learn some, you sing well, but you sing really well, but unfortunately I am illiterate. These things sound good, but I can't remember any of them..." Xia Carpenter's younger brother Xia Wajian said with a smile.

"We are a mother, you can't remember it, I can remember it?" stared.

Xia Zhu didn't hear it. The lyrics on Shangliang are all good, just like they are all good. After singing the lyrics on Shangliang, the next thing is to worship Liang and invite God.

"Can there be people born in the year of the dragon and tiger?" asked Master Qi Liang.

Tang Dahai had already found two young people born in the year of the dragon and the tiger.

The two ends of the beam are dotted by the red pen of the Liang master, which are the "Douliang Eyes". After the beam is dotted, the two people with the zodiac signs of the Dragon and Tiger will raise the beam in the direction of the Qinglong on the left and the White Tiger on the right, usually just lifting it up.

"Go up, it's good luck!" Use a rope to pull the beam slowly up the end of the column. The eastern end of the beam should be higher than the western end and up, because the eastern head is the "Qinglong throne" and the western head is the "White Tiger throne", and the white tiger should be lower than the Qinglong.

"Go ahead, good luck..." Most of the people in Xiaohe Village came to the Tang family and surrounded Liang.

Firecrackers are ringing, waiting for the front beam to hit in.

"Brother Dahai, you're here..." Carpenter Xia threw down the buns and copper coins. At this time, Tang Dahai and his wife pulled a red quilt and caught the ones who were thrown away, meaning to pass on the family line and make a fortune.

Tang Dahai also stepped on the table and went upstairs.

"Brother Dahai, are you going to throw all these things?" Carpenter Xia pointed to the baskets filled with things at his feet.

Tang Dahai had not yet passed his excitement, "Well, I threw it all away, prepared it early..."

The candy and candies from the Shangliang family were all given by someone who was close friends. The family of Lu's family had already come here a few days ago and ordered 500 steamed buns and 500 buns in the town early in the morning. Otherwise, it would be a big deal. The four brothers and sisters plus Fang.

Early in the morning, the bun shops in the town came to Xiaohe Village to deliver buns and steamed buns. The journey was very spectacular. Therefore, except for Xiaohe Village, the nearby villages all came, and it was very dark.

Qiangzi and his family also brought 100 steamed buns and 100 buns. Manager Zhu compared to Qiangzi's family and also delivered the same one. Manager Zhu didn't have time to come here, so he asked Qiangzi's father to deliver it together.

In the village, the old house also sent 100 steamed buns. The closest families also sent buns and steamed buns.

It has been a month since Tang Qiuyue’s newlyweds, and there are no room available for the first month of the newlyweds. However, within the past six months, she still has no way to attend any wedding and funerals. She asked Tian to give her 100 steamed buns.

"This girl Qiuyue is really interested..." Lü said.

Therefore, now, in Tang Dahai's yard, baskets are stacked in the fields, full of local steamed buns.

"Okay. Then let me leave the first move, my master." Carpenter Xia hasn't seen him for a long time, such a big battle.

"Here, here, throw it here..." Below is bustling.

Tang Dahai picked up the steamed bun and threw it eastward.

Carpenter Xia shouted: "Stop the beam and throw it to the east, the sun rises in the east, the hall is full of red; throw it to the west, the Qilin sends children and hangs two joys; throw it to the south, the descendants become the top scholars for generations; throw it to the north, and the white rice is full every year..."

The craftsmen each had a basket, and they were throwing steamed buns vigorously. They threw them happily and snatched them from the bottom.

"Here, go here..." This sound could be heard everywhere.

"Don't rob me, everyone. There are many more people who are specially kept. If you haven't rob me, I'll get a few of them later and I'll be happy... Don't hurt yourself..." Tang Dahai shouted loudly. There were too many people.

After the beam was thrown, everyone left the new house and let the sun shine on the beam. This is called "sun beam".

A lot of buns and steamed buns were also delivered to the Lü family, and no matter which village comes, they will give away some of them as long as they come.

Finally, Tang Dahai set up a table. The village sent steamed buns more or less, and many of them were made by their own home, so they didn't care about giving more or less. Anyone who gave them were invited to sit for the table.

But the dishes are not as good as the serious banquet, eight big bowls, three meat dishes, two tofu dishes, and three vegetarian dishes.

Aunt Tang took some daughters-in-law in the village who had good cooking skills to clean up the table.

"I went to the farm in Hekou Village to take a look, and also sent some steamed buns to the farmers who rented our land. The grain was collected..." Tang Dahai discussed with Lu before the table was placed, thinking about going and returning early.

"You think, go and send it away, let a few people accompany you, we will start the banquet soon..." Lu nodded. In fact, what Tang Dahai said, Lu rarely objected.

The Lü took the red envelope from the Fang family, from the sacrificial master Liang, craftsman, and two dragons and tigers, everyone had red envelopes.

The noodles were eaten until the sun set and it ended. In the village, each family divided 10 buns. When throwing the beams, most of them were dumplings.

Several wives helped to clean up, and the yard was finally quiet.

"Mom, the Xia family in Hekou Village today also sent someone to send steamed buns and two boxes of snacks." Lu said in a low voice. Lu was still used to talking to Fang for many things, and he kept this in his heart, so he was so nervous.

Fang looked up and said, "Here, I saw these two boxes of snacks, too..."

"Mom, what do you think of him?" Lu Shi knew that the Xia family and Fang were having a very speculative conversation, so he came to inquire.

"Aren't you dissatisfied? You are asking this now? You are not the one who has always liked the town, the third son who is a concubine." I don't know if Fang really forgot.

Mrs. Lu was choked and felt a little embarrassed. "It's normal for people to walk to a higher place. Didn't I do it for Chunlan... Who would have thought that the aunt in that family was so difficult..."

It turned out that the story of Qiuyue in the town spread. Although Qiuyue got married, some people always thought that "no wind can cause waves", and the Zhou family's aunt felt that this was how it felt.

"Madam, how do you have any intention? Just find a country girl for the third young master, but it's still such a bad family style. The third young master is soft-hearted again. What should I do in the future..." As he said that, he started crying endlessly.

Mrs. Zhou cried for a headache, but she still advised her in a kind manner. "The second family of the Tang family has been separated and the girl has already married. I heard that when they turned around, the husband's family gave her a complete roast pig! It can be seen that the rumors cannot be believed.

The second wife of the Tang family is much better than many families in the town, so I have found out clearly. The family loves their daughters, and I think this dowry is indispensable..."

Unfortunately, no matter what Mrs. Zhou said, the concubine of the Zhou family insisted on treating the third young master badly, and cried and shouted that the wife would go back to the marriage.

"Mother, let's go back to this marriage for me..." Mr. Zhou was finally irritated.

Mrs. Zhou really felt sorry for the third young master, but she had an unreliable mother. "You are so soft-hearted. If you don't believe my mother's eyes, this must be a good match. There is no better one in this town. I heard that people are also a sign and dowry is quite rich..."

The young master of Zhou insisted, and Mrs. Zhou also asked the matchmaker to give up in a vague way.

"Mrs. I look so happy, and I'm the only son. I'm not afraid of treating my daughter-in-law badly. When I saw her, I loved Chunlan and wanted to marry her home immediately..." Fang thought about it. "I've seen Chunlan, so I'll just ask Chunlan, and see what she thinks..."

Mrs. Lu made up her mind and went to Chunlan to find out when she had time tomorrow. What does she mean?

On the second day, in the shop in the town.

Tang Dahai went to the town early in the morning and delivered buns to the shops on both sides. On weekdays, there was no contact, so he could get along with the buns while delivering them.

"Brother Dahai, the bun shop in our Xishou also wants to deliver steamed buns?" Tang Dalu came out of the shop and looked on the way. A steaming steamer was already placed in front of the bun shop.
