After lifting the main beam to the roof and stabilizing it, Xuan Wentao moved the "grain color bag" sent by relatives and friends to the roof and placed it in the middle of the beam, implying a bumper harvest of grains.

Then Xuan Wentao draped the red cloth over the beam. Then hang a red cloth bag containing red dates, peanuts, rice, wheat, evergreen, etc. in the middle of the beam, which means "blessing, luck, longevity, happiness, and evergreen".

At this time, the craftsman wraps the fruits and food in red cloth, and throws the cloth bag into the basket held by the owner's hands, which is called "receiving the bag".

After Xuan Wentao "took the bag", the craftsman threw candy, peanuts, steamed buns, copper coins, "gold ingots" and so on from the beam to the surroundings, so that the men, women and children who came to see the excitement competed, which means "the wealth is rolling in".

While throwing the craftsmen, they sang loudly: "Throw the beam to the east, the east sunrise is full of red; throw the beam to the west, the unicorn sends the son to hang double happiness; throw the beam to the south, the descendants will be the champions from generation to generation, throw the beam to the north, and hoard white rice at the end of the year."

And the ancient people are not as much as modern people think, are trying to be lively and auspicious, because there is usually no excitement to see, who is on the beam, or do any big thing, they have to come to make a fuss, at this time the people in the yard are rushing candy and copper coins, but also to say a few auspicious words.

The child even grabbed the candy and put it in his mouth directly, even if it was stained with mud, it didn't matter, at this time it was a luxury to be able to eat candy.

After the beam is thrown, everyone exits the new house and lets the sun bask the roof beams, which is called "drying beams". The whole beam ceremony is over.

Next, Xuan Wentao took his family and began to entertain relatives and friends, and today they set up a flowing water banquet.

There are ten tables and chairs in the courtyard, and this table is a flowing water seat, and when the people at this table finish eating, the people at the next table can sit on it.

The courtyard was busy, the bustling crowd was talking and laughing, and the two carriages at the door stopped.

Xuan Miao'er greeted her and saw the familiar face coming down from the carriage in front of her: "Hua Jiye, why are you here?"

"Your family is on the beam, can I not come as a friend?" Hua Jiye stretched out his hand with five rings in front of everyone, and looked at the sun.

Xuan Miao'er couldn't help but laugh, can she not show off her wealth so much: "Welcome, let's go in and have a look, I wanted to invite you to come when I moved in." ”

Hua Jiye looked at the carriageway behind him: "Lift things down." ”

Xuan Miao'er looked at the carriage behind her, this gift is also unique, two stone lions, with red satin tied around their necks: "Hua Jiye, your gift is too valuable." ”

"It's not expensive, it's just too heavy, how about it, with these two stone lions, isn't this house more imposing?" Hua Jiye ordered someone to put the stone lion away.

At this time, the people in the courtyard also came out to watch, and some of them had seen Hua Jiye, so they hurried over to take a look, it would be better if they could say something, after all, this is a rich man in the town.

Hua Jiye is the more people, the more he shows off his wealth, this today's line, Xuan Miaoer is speechless, brother, aren't you tired? Such a big golden bean, you buckled a belt, and the golden bean inlaid in the middle is mutton fat jade, do you want to be so big piece by piece, people still can't help but want to rob.

And brother, what are you doing with so many gold threads embroidered on your boots? Do you know that you are dazzling? Also, your purse is so big, don't you sink? Those dozens of taels are put in your purse and hung on your waist, you are not afraid of falling off your waist?

Xuan Miao'er couldn't bear to look directly at Hua Jiye, and, brother, your golden appearance, fortunately, this is not modern, if you are so dazzling on the road, you are not afraid of a car accident?

Seeing Xuan Miao'er's strange expression when she looked at herself, Hua Jiye asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with me?"

"Poof. Xuan Miaoer couldn't help laughing: "Hua Jiye, you really have a lot of status." ”

Hua Jiye himself couldn't help but laugh: "How is it?

"Loved it, especially loved it. Then he couldn't help but laugh: "Seriously, thank you for today's gift." ”

"Don't laugh, your stomach hurts for a while. After speaking, Hua Jiye looked at Qianluo beside Xuan Miaoer and asked Xuan Miaoer: "This is?"

Xuan Miao'er arranged Hua Jiye one hundred and eight times in her heart, and she made it so out yesterday, and she sent me a person by force, and now she pretends to be nothing, and asks me?

Okay, okay, pretend I don't know you're a thousand drunken boys: "This is a thousand falls, a thousand drunk sons are worried about my safety, and they sent it to me, how about it, a thousand drunk boys, okay." As he spoke, he looked adoring.

Hua Jiye was jealous in his heart: "No matter how good a thousand drunken sons are, they don't have me to accompany you all day long." ”

"People are so busy with every day that a drunken boy is busy, how can it be like you know how to eat, drink and have fun in a day?" Xuan Miaoer couldn't help but tease Hua Jiye.

"I said what you see isn't necessarily true, you don't look at the surface so superficially, do you?"

Xuan Miao'er really doesn't know what kind of trouble this guy is making every day, what kind of competition she has with herself all day long? Today, there are many people in the family, and they don't tease him anymore: "Are you staying for dinner?"

"I'm not going to go, I'll go back in a moment. Hua Jiye really doesn't want to stay longer, he can show his face on such occasions, but it's always not normal to stay for a long time.

Xuan Miaoer also thought that he couldn't stay to eat, people were particular about eating and wearing, how could they follow everyone to eat flowing water seats?

There is Qianluo today, Qianmo doesn't have to follow Xuan Miaoer all the time, so he tried to report: "Miss, the housekeeper of Mufu has come to give gifts." ”

Xuan Miaoer was not surprised, although she did not invite Mu Tianyou, but before, Mu Tianyou knew that during this time, it was time for her house to be on the beam, and she and Mu Tianyou had agreed before, and when they moved in, they would invite him to the house.

However, Mu Tianyou's temperament, he shouldn't like to appear on such an occasion, but politeness is more in line with his style.

Hua Jiye muttered: "I really care about you." ”

"Hua Jiye, don't have convulsions. "Xuan Miaoer and Hua Jiye have become a habit.

Hua Jiye didn't speak, and followed her to the door.

The wood housekeeper of the Mufu saw Xuan Miao'er hugging his fists and saluting: "Miss Xuan, our son-in-law is unwell and can't come in person today, so I was ordered to come to congratulate Shangliang Daji, this gift was chosen by the son-in-law himself, a pair of court painters' authentic handwritings, I hope Miss Xuan likes it."

Xuan Miao'er took the gift with both hands: "Thank you, Steward Mu, for running in person, conveying my gratitude to Brother Mu for me, and telling him that I will visit him at the house when I go back tomorrow." ”

Hua Jiye stood beside Xuan Miaoer with a black face.

The wooden butler seemed to have something unspeakable, and said after a while: "Thank you Miss Xuan for your kindness, our son's leg disease has recurred in the past few days, and he is resting in bed, so it is inconvenient to meet guests. ”

Xuan Miao'er felt that the tone of the housekeeper of the Mu Mansion was concealed, so she didn't say much: "That's okay, I still want to thank Brother Mu for the gift." ”

"Then the old slave won't bother much, and it's better to go back and deal with the son. The butler clenched his fists and took his leave.

Xuan Miao'er didn't force it to stay: "The wooden butler walks slowly." (To be continued.) )
