The upper beam is to pick a good day, and generally choose the full moon or the high tide on the seaside, to take a perfect meaning. However, if the construction period is completely delayed for nearly a month on the fifteenth day of next month, dozens of masters will have nothing to do on the construction site, and everyone will have to eat and wear every day, which will cost everyone a lot of manpower and financial resources.

Many owners of houses know that this is very bad for the craftsmen, but they don't care, they just insist on setting a fifteen days. Zhao Dafa took advantage of today's host to invite them to drink wine and eat meat, and the atmosphere was quite lively, so he talked about it.

"Master Zhao, you know a lot more than me, you can decide which day is suitable for you, these processes should be simpler, and no one seems to be engaging in this custom now."

"San Lang, look at what you said, why is no one doing this now, it's just that our He Lu is poor now, and no one builds a house anymore, so I don't dare to forget these processes to go." He Baozheng still attaches great importance to it, he remembers that when his family was on the beam, everyone in the township came, just to cheer up his grandfather.

"Then you should prepare and let Yi Niang take care of it, and the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow." Liang Chuan is useless, just don't trouble Zhao Dafa and them.

Zhao Dafa and the others were relieved when they saw that Liang Chuan was so easy to talk to, and a few people looked at me and I looked at you, they all breathed a sigh of relief, they really couldn't find such a good owner with a lantern. Several masters took turns to salute Liang Chuan.

In the past, there was a saying in the countryside: "There are beams on the roof, there is grain at home, there are no beams on the roof, and the six animals are not prosperous." It can be seen that the importance of the beam in the minds of the people, so every time the "beam" has to hold a grand ceremony.

The entire beam ceremony can be said to be carried out around the "main beam". In the early days of the beam, if the owner attaches great importance to it, it will personally look for beams, the conditions are also very harsh, if it is a fir tree, but also straight to the sky, the age of the tree can not be too long, not too short, there are many small trees around the fir wood, and the meaning of a single tree must not be adopted is to have many children and grandchildren.

The house in Liangchuan is a nine-bay room, and the beams are only five beams, which is more common in the south. The beam to be climbed is the highest beam in the main hall.

Zhao Dafa privately asked about the birthdays of everyone in the Liang Chuan family, and coincidentally, he didn't clash with anyone and the time of Shangliang. The population of Liang Chuan's family is quite large, and he will not be treated as a person, and they are all treated as his own relatives, this kind of day is too rare.

On the day of Shangliang, Liang Chuan called everyone together, even He Baozheng next door to Li Chuyi, the third uncle, their mother-in-law and daughter, Fan Dianyuan, Ma Dan and others who helped at Zheng Ruoying's house, all called up, and what they wanted was to have a lively time together. Even the store in Fengshan is not going to open today, and all the people are invited to the ceremony of the new house beaming.

Because after this ceremony, the progress of building the whole house is faster. In ancient times, after the construction of the house was first built, and after the columns and beams were in place, there were many apprentices who worked in the mud and water of the wall with bricks and plastered the wall, and they all did it, and dozens of people could complete it in a short time.

And this house is my home in the real sense after I came to this world, although the place where there are artists is their home, but after all, it is under the fence, and they can't live for a long time after all.

Yi Niang also consulted Zhao Dada, is there any special requirements on the table, she has not been open, and she is not afraid of committing a taboo. Zhao Dafa said that there is no need to prepare too much, just prepare a seven-colored sacrifice with a red lacquer sacrificial plate and put it on the offering table.

According to what Zhao Dafa said, Yi Niang prepared seven offerings of pig's head, chicken, duck, fish, tofu, eggs, and salt. Yang Xiu will take care of eating, so he will help Zhang Luo together, and all kinds of fruits are sold in Fengshan, and they all bought a lot and placed them on the table.

Ye Xiaochai can write, and the pillars of the new house should be pasted with couplets, left: Shangliang Xin coincides with the Zodiac Day, and right: the column coincides with Ziweixing. Couplets cannot yet be made of red paper, only of yellow or green paper. Ye Xiaochai also asked Zhao Dafa why he didn't use the red paper to be more festive, but Zhao Dafa didn't pay attention to her, this is the rule of the ancestors, go and ask the ancestors.

After the sacrifice beam began, before the beam, Zhao Dada, the old master, began to sing Liang songs in his mouth. It turned out that the feng shui gentleman who presided over this kind of ceremony did it, but on this day, the feng shui gentleman went to catch up with other venues, and it was not a coincidence that Zhao Dafa and they did it themselves.

Liang Chuan smiled and watched so many people accompany him to be lively, they are all familiar with each other, but he is standing next to him, he can only laugh dryly, and other places can't help.

"The auspicious stars shine high, and the blessed land is auspicious. The rising sun hangs on the top, and the purple slightly surrounds the beam. Liang starts to gather Rui, and the tile shop door is auspicious. The eye of the sky shines on the homestead, and the sun supports the pillars. The golden beam shines brightly, and the jade pillar is optimus. Buried in the ground to lay a new industry, and the foundation supports the beams. ”

Liang Chuan didn't expect this Zhao Fa Fa's mouth to be so able to speak, and he was still chattering about it, this big string of words did not have the same thing, and the rhyme was rhythmic, neat and tidy, tsk, even if he was retired, he was not afraid of no work.

Zhao Dafa bathed and changed his clothes early in the morning, and then warmed this set of statements again, Liang Chuan is a big boss, he doesn't want to spoil people's face.

After reading the greetings, it was followed by the text of the sacrifice beam. Liang has Liang Shen, if the previous words are said to be a pat on the back for Liang Shen, then the next Wen Shu is to Liang Shen, it is his own prayer wish.

"On an auspicious day, heaven and earth are opened, and everything is auspicious. Born in the deep mountains, the original surname is Jin Niang, the disciple invited Ru to be the middle beam, Lu Ban Immortal Master did it himself, and the order of peace was rich for ten thousand years. A glass of sake toasts the beam's head, and the main family is the champion from generation to generation. A glass of sake toasts Liang Wei, and the main family is full of guys from generation to generation. A glass of sake is toasted to the beam, and the main family enters the grange from generation to generation. ”

It is said that everyone who enters the temple is utilitarian, and no one enters the temple to see the Buddha, hoping that the Buddha can bless himself. This ritual of worshipping the beams on the beams is no exception, and everyone's heart is filled with happiness and a desire for a better life, hoping that these gods will bless them.

During Zhao Dada's long prayer, before he knew it, a lot of people had come around his new house. The people of the village all came, and more than a hundred people had smiles on their faces. Men, women, the elderly, children, and every family seems to have come.

Liang Chuan took a closer look, and there were two carriages parked behind him. In the crowd, Zheng Ruoying and Shi Shi were also present! also brought her tenants who planted sugarcane, Fan Dian's elder Ma led Ma Dan and several other children also appeared.

For a while, there was an unprecedented grand occasion in Helu, and the originally lifeless small place at the foot of the mountain became a lively and lively bazaar. Everyone looked at Liang Chuan's family building a new house with envy.

Liang Chuan tilted his head and said to He Baozheng: "Lao He, why are all the big guys here today, I didn't say anything, give me face like this." ”

He Baozheng saw that everyone was coming, and his heart was quite excited, he hadn't seen He Lu people do something together for many years, "You want to run a school for the village, so that the children in the village can have a future, everyone thinks of you." I can't help anything else, I know that your new house is on the beam today, and everyone will come together to help you. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier, if you said it earlier, I would have asked Yiniang to prepare a little more food, and just have a banquet today, and invite everyone to eat meat and drink wine together."

"Save your little money and spend some money, everyone is well-intentioned, not here to eat and drink."

After the sacrifice beam was over, Zhao Jinyu led Zhao Xiantingchang and a few carpenter apprentices to pull the main beam up to the roof with a hanging rope. For a while, the people in the village invariably set off firecrackers, and even Zheng Ruoying and Shi Shi and their gang also asked the tenants to set off firecrackers, and these firecrackers were bought by the villagers at their own expense.

The beams of the house were slowly pulled up to the roof amid the roar of firecrackers. Zhao Jinyu roared: "Up, good luck, good luck, good luck." With Zhao Jinyu taking the lead, all the Luocheng masters also shouted together: "Come on, good luck." ”

The formation of forty or fifty Luocheng masters shouting together was earth-shattering, everyone's middle energy was full, and the sound that roared out was like thunder. Master Luocheng shouted together, and all the villagers in Helu Village were not to be outdone, and more than 100 people also shouted together.

Suddenly, nearly 200 people at the foot of the mountain came out of the dantian together: "Up, good luck", more than 200 people, the momentum made the mountain behind it shake. The sound of the wave reached the front of the mountain, and the echo rolled back and floated towards the south bank of Nanxi!

On the south bank of Nanxi, as well as on the north bank of Lianqian and Xianshui, many people from many villages were plowing in the fields, and suddenly a huge sound rolled in, which suddenly made them lose the farm tools in their hands, thinking that the mountain god had appeared.

Liang Chuan and his entourage looked at this majestic momentum, tears burst out of their eyes in an instant, and everyone gave themselves good wishes from the bottom of their hearts. Yi Niang was even more moved to tears, she remembered that she was helpless at that time, and it was difficult to find this place to stay, so she settled down. At that time, no one would have looked at the two little beggars in the eye, but now the villagers respect them.

The process of the beam, Zhao Jinyu several people are waiting for the battle, do not dare to have a trace of slackness, this process requires the beam to be lifted up smoothly and steadily, taboo one after the other, high and low tilt. In some places, the east end of the beam is required to be higher than the west end, because the east is the green dragon, the west is the white tiger, and the white tiger cannot be high in the green dragon.

In the cheers of the crowd, Zhengliang was steadily put up. He Jinyin, the old man in the village, as a representative of the villagers, sent He Baozheng a bag of 'grain color bags', "Jia Luo, San Lang, we are not familiar with him, and we have never spoken, but today everyone came with their hearts, and you can give this bag of grain color bags to San Lang." ”

Zheng Ruoying also sent a bag of stones, and the grain color bag means a bumper harvest. He Baozheng transferred the hearts of the villagers to Liang Chuan. These bags are carried by the owner to the roof, placed in the middle of the beam, and then the beam is draped with a piece of red cloth.

These red cloths were prepared by Zhao Dafa and them, and the red cloths were not used to worship the gods, and they must have never been incense. A pair of cloth shoes are sewn on the hem of the red cloth, which means to pave the foundation for the owner of the new house.

Liang Chuan is in good shape now, and there are a lot of wooden frames in the house, which is convenient for the upper beam now and the future to build tiles and walls, and he will go up to the roof in three or two clicks.

When Liang Chuan went up, he brought a bamboo basket, which was woven by Li Erhua. Zhao Dafa told him that there was a ceremony to receive the bag later, and a bamboo basket should be prepared, and the bamboo basket contained some steamed buns, copper coins, red dates, and dried longan. Other things have to be prepared in advance, and now these bamboo baskets or something, aren't they all over the yard.

Zhao Dafa and the others below, used a red cloth to put some fruits, red dates, and copper wallets, and threw the red cloth bag on the roof with good words in their mouths, and threw it into the bamboo basket held by Liang Chuan as leaves. Liang Chuan was agile, and several crooked red envelopes were still caught by him steadily, and he didn't lose one, and all the villagers were happy to see it.

Liang Chuan threw longan, steamed buns, copper coins, etc. 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". When "throwing the beam", Liang Chuan threw it above, and Zhao Dafa followed below: "Throw the beam to the east, and the sunrise in the east is full of red; Throwing the beam to the west, the unicorn sends the son to hang double happiness; Throw the beam to the south, and the children and grandchildren will be the champions from generation to generation; Throw the beam to the north, and hoard white rice when the year is full".

The children below were so happy, the longan red dates were sweet and delicious, they were thrown on the ground and picked up to rub and blow, peeled off the dry shell, and put them directly in their mouths to eat. As for the copper plate, this is money, and it will be even happier to pick it up.

Liang Chuan brought a large basket of things and threw them down on the roof, and the hundreds of people below were happy for a long time. The whole activity lasted for half an hour before Liang Chuan retreated from the roof.

After throwing the beam on the beam, the ceremony was almost over, and after the crowd congratulated Liang Chuan, they slowly retreated. Zheng Ruoying and Shi stayed, and everyone else was almost gone.

The beams of the new house should be exposed to the sun for a while, which is called the sun-drying beam. Yi Niang and Yang Xiu put away the offerings, and tonight they will hold a banquet to entertain these Luocheng masters and their friends.
