Chapter 272: Shangliang (1)

When Li Ziyu told them about Yongfutang's shares, Yongfutang hadn't sent any money, so everyone didn't know how much.

Although Li Ziyu had a bit of a spectrum in his heart, when he didn't see the amount of silver, he still didn't reveal how much money he had.

Therefore, when Qian Kaicheng came to the door to deliver the silver ticket, my aunt was stunned at that time. She is a clan woman from a big family, and she knows what it means to have more than 10,000 taels of silver tickets a month.

is that the total annual income of the original in-law's family is only forty or fifty thousand taels, and she does not know how much money her mother's Ouyang family has. Anyway, those family properties were confiscated by the imperial court later, and she didn't inquire about the specifics.

My aunt all reacted like this, and I can imagine the little brothers who came home at night. They were simply unbelievable, as if their sister was telling a joke.

It wasn't until they actually saw more than 10,000 silver tickets that they believed it was all true.

Li Ziyu fortunately told them the money from selling the drawings, so they were surprised together.

When Li Ziyu took out tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets from the box, including her aunt, Xiaoshan, Xiaowen and Xiaoou were all stunned, and it took a while for everyone to react.

Now there are more than 75,700 taels of silver tickets at home, not counting the 1,000 taels of silver that Li Ziyu hid between the beams of the house before, nor does it include the construction money set aside for the construction of a new house. Before you know it, the situation at home has changed dramatically.

However, everyone's first reaction was not surprise, but fright. They touched the silver ticket for a while, and after a while they became addicted. Hurriedly urge Li Ziyu to put it back in the box and lock it, but don't put it outside.

My aunt and Xiao Ou even said that they couldn't leave anyone in this house in the future. If you get a thief, it's bad.

Li Ziyu also agrees with everyone's caution, after all, so many silver tickets are placed at home, and now there are many outsiders in and out of the house, so it is not a bad thing to be careful.

Because tomorrow is going to go to the beam, so today Bu Jiu went to the town to buy sacrifices for the beam.

The sacrifices were, pig's head and tail. It means a whole pig, commonly known as "Li City", as well as a fish, a goose and two eggs found from the Riri Red Restaurant. Prepared at home, there are soybeans, salt and soy sauce. It's seven colors in total. Of course, there are also firecrackers, liquor and incense candles that are necessary for the upper beam. At the same time, I also collected a lot of various dried fruits from various grocery stores in the town.

The upper beam is a very important part of the process of building a house in both modern and ancient times, and the time is generally selected in the "full moon" and "high tide" hours, taking the meaning of family reunion and money pouring in like a tide.

Tomorrow is March 15. Xiang Siyuan calculated that the auspicious time for Shangliang was a quarter of noon. That's eleven o'clock in the morning.

Li Ziyu didn't understand this, so he gave it to Chai Bin and asked him to prepare everything with the customs here.

Early in the morning of March 15, the men, women and children of the village came to Li Ziyu's house again, this time they walked through the main gate, and entered the mansion that had been built through the main gate.

The so-called main gate of Li Ziyu's house is the gate of the only street on the official road, that is, the village road, and now the two wooden doors wrapped in iron sheets have not been installed, so. Everyone can go into the house and go straight in.

Despite this, the villagers still pointed at the thick and tall courtyard wall of Li Ziyu's house from time to time. His eyes were full of envy and surprise. This is still in the process of construction, everyone is used to seeing it.

Because the new house is behind the old house, it belongs to the pattern of a large yard and a small house, so you can go directly to see the new house without entering the old house when you enter the gate.

My aunt and Xiao Ou volunteered to stay in the old house and not to see the excitement. Li Ziyu also knew that no one in the house could agree.

Wang Qiuyue followed Li Ziyu, Xiaoshan, and Xiaowen to help Zhang Luo with various matters in the new house.

Xiaoshan and Xiaowen didn't go to the school today, and took a day off with their master. Because today is a big day in Shangliang, the male owner of the house must be present.

Li Ziyu built seven houses at the back of the old mansion, some distance from the north wall, facing south and back to north.

The dwelling in the middle is a five-room room, with two transept rooms on each side of the square, three wings on the east and west, and five upside-down rooms.

These houses are connected by verandahs, and the courtyards in the courtyard lead to the main house, the east and west wings, and the inverted seats are paved with bluestone slabs.

In other places, Li Ziyu did not lay green bricks, and she wanted to plant some seasonal vegetables in the yard, which was convenient to eat.

The other six small courtyards are also in this pattern, except that the main house is not five but three.

Now the main frames of several houses have been built, and we are waiting for the next step of the project after the girders are installed.

Today, the people from Li Ziyu's family can be described as the whole village dispatched, except for the Lin family, almost the entire village of men, women and children came to the new house, even Grandma Zhao and Xiaohua also stood in the crowd with a smile. Especially the half-grown children, they drill around in the crowd and don't stop for a moment. Everyone was eagerly waiting to see the beam ceremony, and the posture was no less lively than watching the ramming.

Li Ziyu wondered why so many people came, Wang Qiuyue secretly told her that the more people who watched the excitement when she went to Liang, the better, which indicated that the life of this family would be prosperous.

Today, the old village chief Zhao Qing presided over the beam ceremony, and the old man came over early in the morning, instructing all kinds of things that need attention, and his serious expression made the people around him cautious.

Chai Bin followed closely by the old village chief, and Zheng Pengyuan, Xiang Siyuan, Tong Shengqi, Zheng Tianze, etc. were also busy, striving to make the beam ceremony perfect.

Wang Qiuyue took the "five grain color bags" and insoles made by the women in the village a few days ago, the so-called "five grain color bags", that is, red cloth sewn bags filled with red dates, rice, sorghum, wheat and evergreen, meaning "blessing, luck, longevity, happiness, eternal green". The insoles were sewn by Wang Qiuyue at the bottom of the "grain color bag", which means to pave the foundation for the new owner.

Xiaohuaniang carried a large basket, which contained sugar cubes, copper coins, steamed buns and fried soybean grains for a while to "throw beams".

Aunt Yang, Ga Ziniang, Li Lanying and Li Xiaoyan also each carried a small basket in their hands, which also contained yesterday's steamed white flour steamed buns, all kinds of dried fruits and a red cloth, which will be used later to "pick up the bag".

At this time, the girder that needed to be installed in the main house had been lifted by four young men. This girder is still a cedar carefully selected by the old village chief with a hill in the mountains a few years ago.

It is not easy to choose a good girder, first, the girder must be fir; Second, it should be straight and towering, and the branches and leaves should be luxuriant; Third, the age of the tree should not be long or short, and the shape of the tree should be as consistent as possible from bottom to top; Fourth, there should be many small fir trees growing around the tree, the more the better, meaning more children and grandchildren. If it is a single tree, it cannot be used.

After the girder is selected, the day when the carpenter master makes the beam, he also chooses a good day and an auspicious day, first lights three incense sticks, and then sets off firecrackers, and then starts to make them.

This girder was specially made by Lu Jingui a few days ago when he asked Xiang Siyuan to choose a good day and auspicious day.
