Su Qingshi's family still doesn't know the good plan made by the eldest brother's family.

Su Xiaoya and her two brothers actually built a wooden house in a proper manner.

The reason is simple. The beams will be put up at noon today. There is no crane and no safety belt. Su Xiaoya also wants to add a layer of protection when putting up the beams of her house.

Su Xiaoya took out the jade slip of the entanglement technique. Su Mingyi and Su Mingxian learned it, and then practiced by pushing wood.

Getting more and more proficient.

The wood was also moved into place.

The three brothers and sisters decided to practice by building a house. As long as they could get down the mountain before noon, it would be fine.

So the three of them started building the house again.

After Su Qingshi purchased the ingredients and a bunch of items, he returned to the village.

Su Xiaoya and the other two have not yet come down the mountain. They are building a wooden house on the mountain.

Su Qingshi did not go up the mountain to look for the children. The Su family, who had practiced immortal arts, had no problem protecting themselves now. Moreover, the children were expected to come down the mountain early.

Therefore, Su Qingshi was quite relieved. He had more important things to do today.

After all, today is an auspicious day for raising the beam. The Su family's new house is scheduled to raise the beam at noon today.

Therefore, Su Qingshi bought quite a lot of things this time, including refined rice, refined flour, seasonings, maltose, brown sugar, and various snacks, incense, and fruits.

In addition, Su Qingshi also exchanged a small basket of copper coins and took out a lucky number, a total of 666 copper coins.

Raising the beam is a rather particular matter, and usually a Feng Shui master or a respected and experienced elder in the village will be asked to help choose an auspicious day.

It is usually chosen on a day containing the sixth or ninth day of the lunar calendar, and the time is close to noon.

After Su Qingshi, the village chief and the clan leader discussed with the carpenter, they decided to put up the beam on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Because it is difficult and dangerous to raise the beam to a height of three or four meters by hand, the day is chosen to ensure personal safety and a smooth process of raising the beam.

This has always been a tradition, and Su Qingshi certainly attaches great importance to it.

The village chief and the clan leader also attached great importance to it and repeatedly explained to Su Qingshi the procedures for raising the beam and the points that needed attention in advance.

Liu Mingquan led all the women in the village to start steaming buns.

The steamed buns were thrown together with the copper coins when the beams were put up.

Meat buns will be distributed to every household at that time.

Of course, maltose, brown sugar and snacks are also shared.

Su Xiaoya, Su Mingxian and Su Mingyi went down the mountain half an hour earlier.

With two other wild boars, of course.

Su Xiaoya and her two siblings also took time to hunt 5 grouse, 5 pheasants and 11 guinea fowls.

Su Xiaoya specially picked two 30-year-old wild ginsengs and brought them back to make pheasant soup.

Seeing the three siblings of the Su family returning with a full load, Liu Mingquan and the women took the prey directly and continued to work.

For a moment, the entire Su family was bustling with activity, even more lively than the Spring Festival.

Soon, the auspicious time arrived.

Before putting up the beam, Su Qingshi would perform a sacrifice.

First, paste the couplets on the beams.

The couplet was written by the patriarch himself.

First couplet: The blue dragon supports the jade pillar

Second line: White tiger supports golden beams.

Horizontal banner: Good luck in raising the beam.

The clan leader and the village chief were in charge, and they arranged for strong young men to set up an incense table in front of the main gate and put fruits on it.

Su Qingshi burned incense and kowtowed respectfully.

Su Mingyi sets off firecrackers.

Several master craftsmen organized the beam-raising work.

As the carpenter put up the beams, he read aloud:

The sun rises in the east, and Dong Weng invites you to the hall. The eight immortals gather in the golden basin and jade cup, and they will be rich and prosperous for thousands of years. Holding a seven-inch long wine pot, pour three cups in a row according to yin and yang. The first cup of wine is to honor the sky, and the weather is good and the rain is peaceful. The five grains are abundant and the people enjoy the country and peace. The second cup of wine is to honor the earth, and the earth makes the yin and yang of all the grasses come together. In spring, there are fragrant grasses, in summer, there are mulberry fields, in autumn, there are yellow flowers, and in winter, there are daffodils. The third cup of wine is to honor Lu Ban, and Master Lu Ban has come down to earth. The gold mirror, the corner ruler, and the silver mirror bowl, the materials of the pillars should not be different. The purple star passes over the clouds, and the time of raising the beam is correct. If the beam reaches the head of the green dragon, the descendants will be crowned as kings and marquises. If the beam reaches the waist of the green dragon, the descendants will ride in eight sedan chairs. If the beam reaches the tail of the green dragon, the descendants will be the top scholar. If the beam reaches the edge of the green dragon, the descendants will buy large fields. All the masters of the class listen to the orders, and all the friends should be united. It is better to raise the left side first, and the descendants will become cabinet ministers in the next generation. The right side is also good, the next generation of descendants will wear gauze hats. The pillars are upright and level, and the family will be passed down in peace from generation to generation.

The beam, with red couplets pasted on it and bright red silk hung on it, was put back into place smoothly amid the inscriptions given on the beam.
