: Going on the beam

On the 27th day of the sixth lunar month, it is advisable to build a house and build a beam.

It was already the weather of great heat, and I felt hot early in the morning. Chen Fan looked at the thin and breathable cloth clothes on his body and sighed at the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients.

Wang Jiadun gathered a lot of people again to watch Chen Fan's ceremonial ceremony. It was really hard for them to get up so early.

Before the ceremony began, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu first attracted many people to greet and communicate. Then, Chen Fan's younger brother and sister became the topic of conversation. During this period, everyone had grown a little flesh and had whiter skin.

It’s even more energetic to wear new clothes. Even Chen Zhongzhu is the most ordinary among the boys, and he has a square face and bright eyes. Those beautiful people have their own advantages. Everyone’s eyes are straightened.

Looking at the child beside him, he showed a look of suspicion. The nine-year-old Chen Zhongyan even though he was wearing a cloth dress, he showed a noble temperament, which made everyone avoid his sight when they saw him, but he couldn't help it.

Go and see it quietly again.

"How come she accepts so many younger brothers and sisters? They are all pretty."

"You don't understand this, right? There are so many people who are good at farming. How can she grow it alone?"

"It's so easy to fight. When you encounter someone who is bullied, you can beat people away with one stick."

"It's so lively for so many people. She's too lonely living in the house alone."

"It is reasonable to accept boys. If you need to support your younger brother, why should you accept so many girls? You have to get married after a few years of work. It's just a loss of money."

"Don't say it's so ugly. Isn't my sister going to have more relatives when she gets married?" Yuanfeng County will always have correct public opinion guides.

"That's right, look at the little girl who is six or seven years old, with round face and big eyes, how interesting it is."

"Those two big girls are obviously capable at first glance."

"No matter how capable you are, you will lose money. You will have to get married in three or four years." It's back. The concept of girls being lose money is still very mainstream.

The little boys and girls were calm and calm, without looking sideways. The people watching were amazed again.

The altar has been placed on the altar, Chen Fan lights incense and sacrifices to the Liang, Wang Daliang and Zhang Xiaolou are saying auspicious words while toasting, offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, and praying for the pillars to be on the beams, forever.

Chen Fan was excited when he looked at the beam with red silk tied.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, several carpenters sang auspicious words, carried the beams and rose step by step along the ladder, placing the beams and woods in the mouth at the top of the central pillar. Chen Fan climbed onto the roof and sent the five grains from the villagers of Liujia and Wangjiadun.

A colored bag is placed in the middle of the beam and a red cloth is draped on the beam, which means a bumper harvest.

The main house to the east and the main house to the garden also held a beam sacrifice ceremony. The other houses just lifted the beams up and did not burn incense and toast.

The most lively beam throwing began. More than a dozen houses were thrown away, and the crowds were scattered everywhere. The carpenters said auspicious words and threw steamed buns, candies, peanuts and red envelopes containing copper coins downwards, and the crowds surged like a tide.

Fight everywhere.

The big steamed buns in the four directions of the main house, southeast, west and northeast, are the top priority, especially the oriental steamed buns. Whoever grabs them means that he will build a house next.

These big steamed buns caused several waves of heat, and the four who grabbed the big steamed buns were all smiling. The young man who grabbed the oriental steamed buns even jumped up and shouted: "I want to build a house! I want to get married.

!” Everyone was not stingy with their applause and sent him blessings.

After drying the beams for a while, the workers continued to be busy. Ruins were built on the roof and tiles were laid on the ground. Chen Fan watched them sprinkle a layer of quicklime first and then a layer of wood ash to remove insects, prevent moisture and sterilize. Then, each room was in the

Start laying floor tiles.

There are also people on the walls who are busy with mud and then use lime water to paint the walls.

Liu Huaishan also came today. She was very surprised when she looked at the busy workers in more than a dozen houses.

"Is this half of Yuanfeng County's workers here?"

Master Liu rolled his beard: "I'll have it for half a day, and the construction period is very fast. Now the weather is clear and the temperature is high, which is very conducive to scattering and ventilation. You can move to a new home in a few days."

Liu Huaishan was very happy: "I don't have to live in the main house. I just need to live in the east wing room. Both wing rooms belong to me."

The eldest lady pointed her forehead: "Are there any customers like you who choose first?"

Huaishan hid for a while and smiled: "I'm just booking a guest room first."

Chen Fan grabbed her hand and said, "The house here belongs to you, you and Daosui can live here. You can arrange the room yourself when the time comes."

Master Liu was very patient and he took the children to understand the composition of the house.

"The names of you boys are related to the components of the house. This is the column, this is the beam, the column should be straight and the beam should be straight. This is the purlin. The wood laid on the purlin is called rafters, and the tiles are laid on the rafters.

. This is the lintel. We often say that it is the eaves to shelter the wind and rain. The house is composed of so many parts, and if anyone lacks, the house will fall and leak. This is our common home, and the whole family works together.

Only then will family fortune last for a long time.”

His voice was very calm, and several boys nodded with serious expressions.

Chen Zhongyan noticed the blind spot: "We have all columns, beams, purlins and eaves, but there are no rafters yet."

"Then you need another brother." Liu Huaishan was excited.

Master Liu looked at them happily: "If anyone comes in the future, call him rafters."

"Who is there any threshold? Isn't there any threshold at home?" Xiao Ya's big eyes flashed.

The eldest lady was amused by her: "Then he must be tall, and the threshold for our Chen family should be higher."

The gifts for each household in Wang Jiadun were very rich. Zhang Ci brought Mo Jian and Chu Sheng early. Chen Fan led a few younger brothers and sisters to deliver gifts from house to house in the afternoon. Chu Sheng followed him and went to the children.

Introduce the characters and lead them to say hello.

The Shangliang Banquet at night was grand. Several clan leaders, all the workers, the masters and wives of the Liu family, Huai Shan and Huai Jin all attended. Chen Jian and Xiao Liangqi came, and Cui Yunlang and Master Jiang also came.

.

Xiao Liangqi was very interested in the forage: "Miss Chen's forage grass grows so well, some of which are taller than people, and they all look tender and juicy. Cattle and sheep should like to eat it."

Chen Jian quipped: "Better than the grass on your ranch?"

Xiao Liangqi nodded: "I have never seen some varieties before. Then come and buy some grass to go back to see if my cattle and horses like to eat."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I will give you a batch to Mr. Xiao first. If you like it, come and buy it."

"Then the relationship is good." Xiao Liangqi smiled.

Chen Jian first praised the house: "The layout of this house is really exquisite. It is only two acres of land. It can be arranged so many houses and yards, and the functional distinction is clearly distinguished." Then he turned the topic to Liu Huaishan: "Miss Liu

Seems to be very busy lately?”

Huaishan smiled and said, "It's just the thing in the countryside, look at the crops in the fields and the workmanship in the workshop."

"The wine in the Liu family tastes very good. When will we drink together? Let's make an appointment with brother Huaijin." Chen Jian started a dinner party again.

Liu Huaishan responded and asked, "Will Mr. Chen bring her sister out?"

Chen Jian pursed his lips: "They don't like going out very much, let them go. If you think about it, bring it over. If you don't want to come out, let them embroider the embroidery at home."

Chen Fan turned his eyes to Liu Huaijin. He was talking to Master Jiang, and Cui Yunlang was walking into the room.

When I was a child, I liked to attend the beam-raising ceremony and liked to grab bread and steamed buns. Building a building was a great event at that time.
