Chapter 213 Entering the House

On the second day of the new year, before dawn, the family did not feel sleepy, and stayed up from the first day of the new year to the early morning. After Qiming's rooster made the first call, he immediately got out of bed to freshen up and change into a clean robe. Liang Chuan Lingyi Niang, Ye Xiaochai, Li Erhua, Yang Xiu, and Li Chuyi came out of the house one after another, lined up on the left and right of the ancestral hall.

He Baozheng has been waiting outside the door for a long time. He wants to help Liang Chuan handle the new customs of the house, but Liang Chuan doesn't know anything about these rules. Are there so many rules for moving in later generations, the houses are all hardcover, and you can move in with your bags.

Each of the six men carried an auspicious object that entered the house. In Liang Chuan's hand was a new bucket containing eight points full of new rice, and the rice bucket was wrapped in a red envelope, and the red envelope was wrapped in nine copper plates. Yi Niang used a new bucket to hold seven points full of old well water, which was the well of He Baozheng's house. It is customary to use the well water of the old house, but there was no well in his own house before, so he had to ask He Baozheng for a lottery.

Ye Xiaochai held the bowl and chopsticks, Li Erhua held a dustpan tied with a red cloth, a pair of brooms, Yang Xiu held an old quilt, and Brother Zhao held the old iron pot at home. It is advisable to move into the house with eight people, seven people plus a black nose, Liang Chuan said with a smile, just right!

Many people on the new side of the family are already waiting for Liang Chuan to move their homes, every villager in He Lu has a smile on their faces, they are happy for Liang Chuan, the ancestral hall has never been a place to live for a long time, how can anyone stay with the ancestral tablet, not their own ancestors. Most of the guests invited by Liang Chuan have not yet come, and there is still the process of unveiling the door plaque, it was close to noon, and the big guy was almost there, and it was not dawn yet.

Yi Niang They came out of the ancestral hall first, and after Liang Chuan matted, Liang Chuan left a money bag in this room where he lived, with five copper plates in it, two eggs in the kitchen, and a copper plate wrapped in red paper. When he finally left the ancestral hall, where he had lived for a short time, he sprinkled a handful of rice in front of the door before locking the door and leaving.

The process is very cumbersome, and the meaning is also very long, Liang Chuan didn't have time to ask He Baozheng about such a meaning, but it must be good, and he was busy catching up with Yiniang and their team.

Entering the house should be carried out before dawn, and the folk meaning is getting brighter and brighter. The stars in the sky gradually disappeared from their figures, the eastern sun had not yet risen, but the white of the fish's belly had been slightly exposed, and the mist on the mountainside began to slowly reced, all of which indicated that a new day was coming.

The family moved all the six auspicious things into the kitchen of the new house at the so-called auspicious time, and only when the stove room was set first, the Han people moved the stove first, and after the stove prince moved to the new house, he could move other objects such as beds, chairs, tables, and cabinets into the house. There are clouds in ancient books: all those who talk about entering the house and returning to the fire, the secular but avoiding the killing of the gods under the sun, and the absence of incense is not the master. Please settle down first, only then will you have the favor of the god of life, and it is a reason to go first with the leader.

The position of the stove is set up with the shrine of the king of the stove, the statue of the king of the stove is pasted on the wall of the stove, the incense candles are lit, and a small string of firecrackers is placed at the door of the kitchen, which is considered to invite the king of the stove to his new kitchen. After the king of the stove returned to his position, the fire began to rise in the stove, and a pot of boiling water should be boiled in the pot.

Next, it's time to enter the house. Liang Chuan led everyone to the middle of the main hall, everyone had three pillars of incense in their hands, Liang Chuan wanted everyone to worship, he said that this house was not his alone, everyone had a share, so seven people had to go to the incense to worship.

He Baozheng played the role of the host of the sacrifice, standing in the northeast corner of the main hall, with a solemn face, and a few futons on the ground. In the center of the main hall, there is a high red lacquered offering table, there are pig's heads, sheep's heads and a knife of beef, a few fresh fish from Nanxi are fried in the pot until golden brown and then fished out and dropped off the table, all kinds of fruits, fresh peaches and apricots are piled up half high, and fresh and tender dishes are crowded with the offering table. Red candles were lit on the offering table, and three sticks of coarse yellow sandalwood were inserted into the incense burner, as well as several bowls of rice wine.

At the entrance of the main hall, many people in the village have come to see the excitement, and the villagers have surrounded the door. Adults and children widened their eyes and watched the same process come down. The cooks and cooks outside the house had already started the feast, the patio was full of wine tables, and the helpers of Xianshui Village washed the dishes and chopsticks and put them on the wine table one by one.

The guests outside the house gradually came, Meng Liangchen was the first, standing in the corner of the courtyard courtyard with his hands upright, looking at the lively scene with a smile, which was very different from the temperament of the surrounding villagers. Zheng Ruoying also came with a small carriage, watching Liang Chuan change to a big house, he had come to the small grass house where he lived at this time last year, and now he has changed to a green tile mansion. The stone set off early in the morning, and let the subordinates drive the carriage to Fengshan. Zheng Fucheng didn't have time to come over, so he asked his subordinates to send a generous gift, Liang Chuan didn't dare to let the bad brother run errands for himself, so he gave a small gift with a smile, that is, silver, and happily sent the bad brother away.

He Baozheng coughed lightly, "The sacrifice begins!" "Everyone holds three pillars of incense, and worships the four gods on the four corners of the main hall, and then worships once in the hall, which is not to worship the ancestors, so both men and women can worship. Everyone respectfully made a bow and stepped up to insert the incense into the incense burner. Then except for Yi Niang and Liang Chuan, everyone else stood by the hall very dutifully.

In everyone's opinion, Liang Chuan has been very benevolent to treat a few subordinates, and ordinary families will not send outsiders to participate in such formal sacrificial activities, unless they are regarded as their own family.

The master of Luocheng, the villagers in the village, and the guests invited by Liang Chuan have basically come to the same time, they want to give Liang Chuan a blessing, some bring gifts such as chickens and ducks, and a bit of a string of firecrackers, which directly make people burn outside the door, crackling and not lively.

He Bao washed a handful in the wooden barrel, shook off the water stains on his hands, finished, walked to the offering table and picked up three sticks of incense, lit them on the incense candle and then extinguished them, handed them to Liang Chuan, and said loudly: "Worship God." Liang Chuan turned around and made a bow outside the door, a standard ninety-degree salute.

"Two worship the land lord."

"Three worship of the ancestors and the ancestors." Although there is no tablet of his ancestors on the case, Liang Chuan still meditates on his deceased grandparents in his heart, and secretly misses his surviving parents, which can be regarded as a salute to them.

After Liang Chuan bowed three times, he inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner. He Baozheng picked up the wine bowl on the table, held it with both hands, handed it to Liang Chuan and said loudly: "Respect the ancestors and ancestors!" ”

He Baozheng said earlier that pouring water and wine should be poured lightly, taking the meaning of fine water and long flow, Liang Chuan tilted the wine bowl slightly, poured it horizontally, and slowly poured the wine in front of the table.

"Filial sons and good wives kneel!"

I still have to kneel, my father and mother are still alive, which family is kneeling and the ancestors are the ancestors. Yi Niang knelt on the futon in response, He Baozheng sang and shouted: "The gods of the sky are above, now Zhang Jiaxiaoxian Liang Chuanlang moved to a new house, and the gods bless San Lang: live and work in peace and contentment, food is endless, the family is prosperous, and Shun is auspicious, everything is satisfactory, everyone is healthy, three kowtows!" ”

He Baozheng didn't expect that there was still the potential to do this discussion, one move and one style, there was a clear eye, especially the shouting voices, full of breath and lingering, just like a professionally trained master of ceremonies, the whole process was done in one go, like flowing water.

In ancient times, the countryside had its own set of secular etiquette, and often the inheritors of these etiquettes were the famous old men in the village, under their auspices, and ordinary villagers did not know much about these.

"Ceremony unveiling plaque!" As soon as He Baozheng blurted out, everyone outside the main hall gate consciously made a way, the crowd escorted Liang Chuan, and everyone rushed to the outside of the house, the patio was already full of wine tables, and people had to go out from the corridors of the wings on both sides.

On the door of the new house hangs a boxy rectangular door plaque, on which is hung a red silk cloth, and a red rope hangs down from the plaque, tied with a large red flower.

"Master Zhao, let's go together, this house was completed by you with all the virtuous craftsmen, and the hard work is high, how about we take off this red silk together?" Liang Chuan said to Zhao Fafa.

Zhao Dafa was originally nested in the crowd, but he didn't expect that the Kedong family would read him when it was so glorious, and he was a little trembling with excitement in his old bones, and said to Liang Chuan flattered: "I can't stand it, I can't stand it!" Liang Chuan walked into the crowd and invited Zhao Dafa out, two people pulled the red rope at the same time, Liang Chuan said: "One, two, three pull together!" ”

At the sound of an order, the piece of red silk fell with the red rope. How many houses has Zhao Dafa built, he has never been treated so well, and when the house is good, the enthusiasm of the owner will immediately be reduced by three points, who treats them like Liang Chuan, he was so excited that his cloudy eyes were a little moist, and people don't just fight for a breath if they live.

Many people don't recognize what is written on the door plaque of Liang Chuan's house, but they recognize it, it doesn't seem to be the word Zhang Zhai.

Zheng Ruoying saw the two words on the door, her eyes lit up, what a handsome word, although the two big characters are engraved on the plaque, but the momentum is extraordinary, the pen is strong, she has also practiced calligraphy for many years, connoisseurs will know whether there is at a glance, the word Wangxiang must be from everyone's hands! It's just what does this homesickness mean?

Yi Niang took three girls, carrying a small basket of copper coins and dates, and sent them when she saw them, making the people present happy. The child took the date and stuffed it into his mouth, and after eating, it was not enough for three or five to pester, and a few big girls chased after him.

Liang Chuan stood under the door, looked at the villagers and friends who came to congratulate him, raised the red silk cloth in his hand, and said: "Liang Chuan is fortunate to meet all the villagers and sages, and he is loved by you, so that he has today's achievements." In order to show the kindness of the township, the small lane banquet in the cold house, in order to eat the neighbors and friends, if you don't dislike it, let's get drunk today! ”

The crowd erupted in cheers, and Liang Chuan's words ignited everyone's atmosphere, and the applause was endless. What is a person who is affectionate and righteous, this is, do some achievements without being complacent, and have fun with the villagers, this is called ability!

Everyone went into the house and sat down, and everyone went to the ancestral hall to welcome back the plaque of the tiger hero who had killed the tiger and the county lord's reward, and everyone happily helped to hang this big plaque in the main hall. Four big gilded characters, this is not something that everyone can get. It's easy to kill a tiger without a single champion! Liang Chuan has long wanted to hang this card, not for anything else, to be as famous as Wu Erlang of Qinghe County, which roster will help him write a stroke in the future, oh my God.

Outside the house, a large piece of meat is cooked on the stove, the green onion is thrown into the pot, the old wine and vinegar are full of fragrance, and after a while, a pot of pig and mutton is served to the banquet. A jar of sweet rice wine tears open the mud, and the aroma of wine rushes to the brain, arousing the cravings in people's stomachs.

He Baozheng sighed, He Luren's life should also get better and better, following this Liang Chuanlang is a blessing from God to everyone. The happier those fairy water girls are when they see everyone, the more they feel bad in their hearts, the three Baozheng still have the face to eat San Lang's soft rice, and several girls look at Chen Qiyou's expressions, and they all want to tear them up. Ho ho, that scene can be seen He Baozheng feel more comfortable.

Liang Chuan saluted everyone one by one with a wine bowl, there were nearly 100 people in the village, and there were almost forty masters in Luocheng, the old man and the woman couldn't drink much, and the others all took a sip of wine, the degree of this wine was too much, just like beer. The rice wine is sweet and cold, and the villagers only know that Liang Chuan can play, but they didn't expect that this amount of wine is simply massive, this is the person who does great things!

Men drink, women eat, adults and children open their stomachs to eat, just like an old wolf who has been hungry for three years, seeing the delicacy of this table, the wind and clouds are like a cloud, and it is wiped out in an instant, fortunately, the meat and vegetables outside the house are enough, and plates of various styles of dishes are constantly served, and everyone eats intoxicated!

A group of people ate from noon to night, the man couldn't get drunk, the woman and the child had a round belly, the chef who helped the gang guarded the earthen stove, Zhang Luo all morning, the fire in the stove was roasted to the size of a bean's sweat and beads of sweat came out, Liang Chuan pulled a few masters to the banquet, "Don't be busy, fortunately I didn't eat two mouthfuls of food in the morning, and I drank two sips of wine on the table to relieve fatigue!" ”

Chef Pu fan's big hand waved vigorously in his face, trying to attract a cool breeze to himself under the influence of his heart, and said with a straight smile: "San Lang, you go to eat wine, don't worry about me, I'm happy to start a gang for you, how long have we not eaten big meat, don't laugh, there are many places where the people in the village rely on you, I want to give you a bowl of wine after I am busy with this stove!" ”

Liang Chuan will do it every time, the villagers will wait for Liang Chuan to finish, and they will find Liang Chuan to do it again with a sea bowl, one bowl of slightly smoked, two bowls of double happiness, and three bowls of fun! Everyone gulped meat and vegetables, the old people had bad teeth, and after eating a few bites, they put down their chopsticks to enjoy the joyful atmosphere, the children were restless, and a leader began to laugh and scurry all over the audience, and He Lu's laughter gradually spread far away.

It is said that the new house and new bed, after sleeping, you have to get up and walk around, indicating that you are healthy, Liang Chuan had no sleep last night, and today I drank a hundred bowls of wine, and I can't afford to toss it on the bed, it's not that I don't think about it, I'm tired and paralyzed, and I can't get up.
