CH.48 Moving

Saying goes; 'A man can move away. The tree can move to death. 'Prosperity is prosperity. If the back is prosperous, it will decline'. It's about moving. In this ancient time, from the emperor and generals, to the dignitaries and nobles, down to the rich and gentry, the ordinary people were very particular about this move. There are many examples of those who were ordinary or down-and-out children three or five generations ago, and later prospered because they moved to a new place. On the contrary, because of the bad luck of moving to the feng shui, those who are ruined and bankrupt also abound.

Yang Yuemei heard about the house she bought in the city, and the previous owner turned out to be a well-known old man, and her expression was exactly the same as Li Dajun's. is also bent on thinking that after moving in, Chunsheng can borrow some luck here. When the time comes, if you don't ask for a high school champion, at least you have to plant a lifter, then their family can be regarded as winning glory for the old Li family, whose ancestors are farmers.

So when Chunyu's family went to the old home, Li Dajun talked to his father and mother, and he really got the strong support of the whole family. Although Chunyu couldn't quite understand their thoughts, she still respected their ideas very much. In the end, the family discussed for a few days, and then went to a gentleman in the town who specialized in counting the days for people, and got a few good days.

As the saying goes, "auspicious land also needs good luck", so it is necessary to choose an auspicious day for moving according to the old yellow calendar. The second day of the first month of March is a good day for easy moving, and it is rushing: Ji Shaxi [Zheng Chong Jiyou], and the family is not rushing, and it is appropriate: marriage and engagement travel to move into the house taboo: breaking ground for burial. What's more, these days look like it's all sunny and good.

Three days before the move, I had to clean all the rooms, and then every part of the new home was lit up the night before, in order to defile it.

Before moving, you should also prepare six necessities for daily life: the first is to fill eight points of rice in a rice bucket, and a red envelope is placed in the rice bucket, which contains banknotes, tea leaves, and nine copper coins. The second is to fill a bucket with seven full parts of water, which is to be taken from the old dwelling. The third is a new set of chopsticks, which needs to be prepared for everyone in the family, and it is best to make an even number for auspiciousness. The fourth is a pair of dustpan brooms, and a strip of red cloth is tied to them. The fifth is to prepare a new set of ** pants for everyone in the family, as well as pillows and bed sheets. Finally, there are old stoves, pots and spoons that have been used at home.

So on the first day of the first month of March, Li Dajun went to the county seat first, bought two lamps and a few candles, and lit up his new home. Two days ago, their family had already cleaned it, so after Li Dajun lit up the entire new house, he hurried home.

The next day, the whole family got up early. There are also some moving things on the rack car, and it looks very grand. Chunyu couldn't help but remember that when her family first moved to the old house of Li Guizi's family, she just hastily burned incense and worshiped the gods from all walks of life. Maybe it was that I couldn't eat enough at that time and moved to such a shabby place, so I didn't pay so much attention to it.

When Chunyu's family moved, because there were six daily necessities prepared before, and some things that needed to be moved, Li Dajun went to Li Erzhu's house to borrow an ox cart. Fearing that he would not be able to adapt to the soil and water after the relocation, Li Liu also picked out a piece of mud from the wall of the old courtyard, dug up a large piece of ginger from the vegetable field and wrapped it in cloth, saying that he would bring it to the new courtyard of the county seat.

Originally, before moving out of the old house, it was necessary to leave an old purse in the room, which contained five coins. Also leave two eggs and a red envelope in the kitchen. When you finally want to leave the old house, remember to sprinkle some rice in front of the door of the old house before locking the door and leaving. But because the Chunyu family moved, their yard still had to live for a few years, so this item was exempted.

After a qiē was ready, the whole family had a meal at home. Li Dajun and Li Wujun drove the car, pulled Wu Shi and his family to the county seat. However, this time he didn't call the third family, because his family would not only not follow the lively party, but might also ruin the atmosphere. After arriving at the county seat, Uncle Qin also called Qin Zhong to help, and Uncle Dongzi also came. After everyone moved everything into the new house, they began to worship according to the custom.

Simply put the light dishes prepared at home and put in the food box on the table where the three pillars of incense were ordered: a bowl of dry rice, a meat, a vegetable and a soup. Three cups of rice wine were also put to worship the god of the stove, the land lord, and the land woman. When more than one-third of the three pillars of incense have been burned, you can burn paper money such as longevity money, mowing money, and land money next to the gate of the new house. When you finish burning the paper money, you can pack up the offerings. At this point, the ceremony of staying in the new house and worshipping is completed.

At this time, it was time for the whole family to burn the bottom of the pot together, so Yang Yuemei, Li Liu's family and two sisters-in-law entered the new stove together and got busy.

By the time the family finished eating happily, it was already unitary time. So Qin Zhong and Uncle Dongzi also returned to their homes, and Li Wujun also drove Li Erzhu's ox car to take his father and mother and second sister home, while Li Dajun's family stayed, and they were going to live in the new house for two days.
