Chapter 695: The house is built
After the sacrifice beam, Xu Jingnan, Ye Dachang and others lifted the main beam to the roof with a rope.
At this time, firecrackers rang out, and the people in Shangliang also sang the Shangliang song, and finally shouted "Good luck!" ”
After the beam was stabilized, Xu Jingnan, as the owner, also moved the "grain color bag" sent by relatives and friends to the roof, placed it in the middle of the beam, and draped the red cloth on the beam.
These grain bags contain red dates, peanuts, rice, wheat, evergreen, etc., which means "blessing, lu, longevity, happiness, and eternal green".
After hanging the color bag, it is time to 'receive the bag' ceremony.
This bag refers to the red cloth bag, which contains a variety of fruits with auspicious meanings, such as longan, peanuts, red dates, etc.
And the bag is that Ye Dachang is saying auspicious words while throwing the cloth bag into the basket held by Xu Jingnan's hands, which means catching the treasure.
After the completion of the contract ceremony, it is the most lively "throwing beam".
Xu Jingnan and the Ye family threw candy, peanuts, steamed buns, copper coins, and "gold ingots" from the beam to the surroundings, so that the men, women and children who came to see the excitement competed.
The more people, the better, which means "wealth rolling in", and when throwing these things, it is indispensable to sing lyrics and say a lot of auspicious words.
After the beam is thrown, it is to set up a banquet to entertain helpers and relatives and friends, and distribute red envelopes.
Ye Qingyu participated in the beam ceremony from beginning to end, and sighed over and over again in her heart that the ancient etiquette was so cumbersome and grand, which opened her eyes and felt very novel.
She really didn't want to come back a second time, though!
Because it's really tiring, too.
After sending all the guests away, Ye Qingyu was going to be paralyzed.
Because she is the hostess of the new house, she needs to take ideas about many things, and she also needs to entertain guests.
And today's banquet at home, even if there is a cook, and many clansmen to help, she needs to take care of a lot of trivial things, running around inside and out.
"Qingyu, you're tired, you don't care about it, we'll clean up the rest." Chun Ya Niang smiled at her and said.
Chun Ya Niang has just come out of confinement, but she has good body and bones, and she has raised well in confinement, so the whole person is in good spirits, and she is not tired after a busy day.
"I'm a little tired, thank you, sister-in-law." Ye Qingyu said gratefully.
"What are you polite to me!" Chun Ya Niang looked at her with a smile and disgust,
"We haven't thanked you yet. Not to mention that you saved my life and Hudan's life, just say that my father-in-law helped build the house, but you gave thirty taels of silver, which is too much! ”
"This is all as it should be, we didn't spend any effort on this house, it's all the busy work of the three masters, Jing Nan and I feel that we can't go, thirty taels is not much."
Ye Qingyu said with a smile.
Chun Ya Niang still said several thanks in a row, and said with a grin,
"With this silver, Tiegen will be much more relaxed if he wants to marry his daughter-in-law, and he can do it better for him, and give the woman's family more dowry gifts, so that the in-laws can take a high look."
"Then are you going to be a nurse?" Ye Qingyu asked.
"I'm not going." Chun Ya Niang smiled and waved her hand, "You take out the tofu workshop and teach everyone how to make tofu and fermented bean curd."
We all believe that I can make a lot of money with this, and I can take the baby to do farm work at home with peace of mind, and I don't have to be a nurse anymore, and I am reluctant to leave the two babies. ”
