New house.

The incense table has been set up in front of the main entrance. An Eight Immortals table is covered with red cloth. There are chicken, fish, pork, fruit and wine cups on the table, as well as a pair of red candles and an incense burner.

As the saying goes: "If there are beams on the roof, there will be food in the house; if there are no beams on the roof, the livestock will not prosper." Among them, "worshiping beams" is regarded as the most important step in raising beams, which is related to whether the homeowner can hire May the gods bless you and bring blessings to future generations.

As a very prestigious person in the village, Li Zheng knew the rules of worshiping Liang best. He took the initiative to help arrange the scene yesterday.

Couplets written on red paper have also been pasted on the beams of the house and the main door. On the beams are written "Green dragon supports jade pillars, and white tigers support golden beams." On the door it is written "Many children, many blessings, many blessings." Live a long life and spend the Spring and Autumn Period with great wealth and wealth."

The horizontal batch is "Shangliang Daji".

These couplets were written by Sixi Girl yesterday.

Chen Changsheng originally planned to buy couplets in the county town, but after picking and choosing, he couldn't find auspicious words suitable for hanging beams, so he finally bought a few empty couplets.

It just so happened that the four children in the family had been learning to read and practice calligraphy for a long time, so it was time to test the waters.

Chen Changsheng asked each of the four people to try writing on a blank piece of paper. After reading the results of the trial writing, it was finally decided that Si Xi would write the paper.

Chen Sixi wanted to refuse. Her calligraphy was not very good. After all, she had always imitated from books and had not learned from the teachers in the school. It can only be said that there is a little childishness in her beauty. For such a big event as getting married, she was afraid that if she couldn't write the couplet well, she would make a fool of herself and bring disgrace to her family.

Fortunately, Chen Changsheng didn't have many requirements for the font of this couplet. Anyway, it was written by his own family, so writing his own couplets has a special meaning.

After hearing what she said, Sixi plucked up the courage to write these two couplets.

When Chen Changsheng led Sanshou and Sixi to the new house, many villagers who came to join in the fun were already standing in the yard, with four or five floors inside and outside.

When everyone saw her coming, they took the initiative to make way for her to enter the innermost layer.

"Dafu Niang, you are here." Li Zheng lit the incense candle, "It's time to light the incense."

The custom of raising beams in Chenjia Village is that the homeowner and his family should kneel down in pairs in order of eldest and youngest to "worship the beams". The host lights incense and pays homage, first worships the heaven and earth, then worships the Door God Bodhisattva, puts incense on both sides of the door, then worships the Stove God Bodhisattva, finally worships the ancestors, and then puts incense in the incense burner.

As the eldest son in the family, Dafu was of course the one to do the Liang worship.

He completed the ceremony in the eyes of everyone, and Li Zheng loudly shouted, "Start the ceremony!"

The master carpenter had already led the two of them to stand on the east side of the roof, murmuring, "Lay up the beams, Lu Ban is here; the thick ones will be used as columns, and the straight ones will be used as beams; the wood will be put to its best use."

The master bricklayer led the other two people to stand on the west side of the roof and continued to sing, "You go to the east and I go to the west. Children and grandchildren wear court clothes; holding a green lion ten feet long in hand, swinging up to the middle beam; when the beam arrives On the way, my descendants are at court."

After singing, the woodcarver and the masonry master each put down a red rope made of red cloth, which was picked up by Chen Changsheng and Li Zheng and tied to the beam.

When she put the rope on the beam, the two masters, the carpenter and the bricklayer, sang in unison, "The first one is the number one scholar's house, the second one is the prime minister's house; the golden mouth is opposite the golden beam, and the warehouse is full of gold and silver."

Immediately afterwards, the six people on the roof pulled up from both ends at the same time. While pulling hard, they chanted loudly, "The golden beam is tied in the air and swings into a golden dragon; a red cloud invites the Jade Emperor to recommend that the owner of the house become a rich man." "

When the main beam was accurately placed in the predetermined position, the two masters, the woodcarver and the bricklayer, each hit the beam three times with a wooden hammer and read loudly, "The upper beam is ready, let's set off firecrackers!"

Dafu and Erlu, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately started setting off firecrackers when they heard this instruction.

Two large firecrackers were lit, and there was a lot of "cracking" outside the yard, which was very lively.

The wedding candies, wedding cakes and wedding buns have been transported to the new house. Chen Changsheng and Dafu also climbed onto the roof at some point, and together with the carpenters and bricklayers, scattered the candies, wedding cakes and wedding buns to the eager crowd below.

This is the favorite part of the children in the village - beam throwing.

The villagers who joined in the fun stepped forward to fight for it, and the sound of firecrackers rang out at the door of the house, pushing the lively atmosphere to the extreme.

The villagers gathered around grabbing wedding candies and steamed buns. Ma Daqiang led the men to move fifteen tables, chairs and stools and set them up in the yard of the new house.

Old Mrs. Chen led the women in serving the dishes. They worked in pairs, carrying plates left and right, and started serving dishes to each table.

After grabbing the wedding candies, the villagers' faces were still filled with smiles, and they could smell the fragrant fragrance.

Dafu stood on the roof and shouted loudly below, "Uncles, aunts and grandparents, hurry up and take your seats, the banquet is about to start."

The villagers sat down one by one. There were nine dishes and one soup on the table, as well as a large bowl full of brown rice. No one was confused after seeing it.

Of course, these people are not here to eat for free, they all bring gifts.

"Dafu's mother-in-law has prepared such a sumptuous banquet. I feel like I'm dreaming. Today, today is not the Chinese New Year."

“I don’t know when this good food will be available to my family.”

"Let's not talk about the food. Just looking at Dafu's family's yard makes me extremely envious. The eldest and second son of my family work in the kiln. I hope I can save some money this year and build a new house next spring. "

"Then you and your sons have to work hard."

"You don't have to say that. Come, come, eat food, eat food, drink wine."

"This wine is really good. I drink it without saying a word."

"..."

Chen Changsheng also had a smile on her face. She and Mrs. Chen shuttled among the crowd, telling everyone to eat and drink well, for fear that there would be a lack of hospitality.

The two brothers Dafu and Erlu followed the example of adults and toasted table by table, thanking the villagers for coming to watch the ceremony, drink and join in the fun.

The courtyard was filled with the sound of people drinking and cheering.

"Hey, why didn't my eldest sister notify me when she got Liangjiu today? I think we, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, have taken care of you for so many years. Why didn't you call your eldest brother and sister-in-law to come over on such an important day?"

Exaggerated shouts came first, and then Zhao Daming and his mother-in-law Sun Yuqin appeared in front of everyone, accompanied by two young men.

Sun Yuqin walked into the courtyard and saw that there were more than a hundred people in the huge courtyard, and more than a dozen tables were filled with wine and food. The food was not so good on the day she got married.

Chen Changsheng put away his smile, walked out of the crowd and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

As a good brother and sister-in-law, she always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, so she must be trying to do something wrong when she comes here today.

Sun Yuqin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you looking at your brother and me with defensive expressions? We heard that you held a wine ceremony today and came here to congratulate you."
