This year's time flies quite quickly, in the blink of an eye in the middle of September, Liu Man'er has been busy and doesn't know what to do, although it has just passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, counting the time, it seems that the New Year is not too long.

There are still two months to go, I don't know if I can move to a new house before the year, but it should be possible, now it is a farm, there are many people working, this house is easy to build, and now it is quite large-scale, and it can be on the beam in a few days.

After the beams were installed, the house was almost officially built, and she only needed to rectify the decoration problems in the house in the future.

Liu Man'er is still looking forward to the beam, after all, the beam is a very sacred thing in ancient times, as the saying goes: there are beams on the roof, there is grain at home, there are no beams in the house, and the six animals are not prosperous.

Ye Yuan and his uncles had already found a good fir wood to make a beam, and the steward of this wood cost two taels of silver, and these days, they also carved something on the wood, burning incense and praying, anyway, it was very grand.

Liu Man'er also went to the new house to see, the house had already been built almost, and the wall was longer, so it was slow, so she guessed that it was about to go up the beam, and asked Ye Yuan and Fang's, they said that they had to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac before they could officially go on the beam, so Liu Man'er was also waiting for the arrival of this auspicious day of the zodiac.

On this day, according to the ancient books, it is the auspicious day of the zodiac, the moon was very round last night, today is a good day for Shangliang, and Liu Man'er's family was busy early in the morning.

Going to the beam is a more important thing than entering the fire, all the uncles of the Ye Yuan family came to help, and some of the respected elders in the village were all concentrated in the new house.

Liu Man'er didn't understand these doorways, and the Fang family didn't tell her, Ye Yuan was afraid that Liu Man'er would be tired, so he had prepared everything early, anyway, Liu Man'er went to watch the excitement.

With the sound of firecrackers, I saw two craftsmen carry the girder covered with red silk cloth and red paper, and then there was the sacrifice, chicken, duck, fish, pig, tofu, incense candles and other sacrificial supplies Fang Shi was prepared early in the morning, and put it on the offering table in front of this hall early.

The two craftsmen are said to be bricklayers and carpenters talking and toasting, and someone caught a big rooster and sprinkled the blood of the chicken on the beam, from the head of the beam to the tail of the beam, Ye Yuan told her in Liu Man'er's ear that this was the first step: sacrifice the beam.

After the sacrificial beam is the upper beam, the two craftsmen pulled the beam up with a rope, Liu Man'er looked at it both funny, but also a little excited and nervous, the respected white-haired clan duke commanded in a strange tone on the side, he stretched the tone: "The upper beam...... Lucky ......"

In his tone, the beam slowly stabilized, and then, Fang put a colored bag full of grains on the beam, and someone helped spread the red silk cloth, and the neighbors who knew each other helped hang all kinds of red cloth bags, these cloth bags were some things prepared by Liu Man'er and Fang at night.

This red envelope contains red dates, peanuts, rice, wheat, and a few pine leaves.

When hanging things, this patriarch began to recite a kind of Shangliang sacrifice again, he read it in dialect, and the tone was very strange, Liu Man'er couldn't understand it, but he only understood two sentences: "Set up a thousand-year-old pillar and erect Wandai Liang." ”

After reciting this sacrificial text, the Fang clan then asked Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er to stand in front of the offering table, she solemnly handed the two of them a basket, Ye Yuan held the basket on his chest, and Liu Man'er did the same.

So, a craftsman wrapped the fruits, sugar cubes, steamed buns, copper coins and other things on the offering table in red cloth, and then threw them at Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's eyes were quick, and he caught it with a basket, so Liu Man'er did the same.

"Receiving the bag, receiving the treasure, beckoning wealth and entering the treasure, and the harvest of the five grains ......" The two craftsmen sang while throwing things towards Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan, Liu Man'er was very happy to hear it, okay, get rich!

After this step passed, it was to throw the beam, and the two craftsmen casually spilled the things on the table outside, ushering in the coaxing of everyone, everyone laughed together, and Liu Man'er looked very happy.

She didn't know at first what Ye Yuan asked her to prepare a bowl of copper coins for, it turned out to be for throwing.

Liu Man'er's house was built in style, and there were many people invited to build the house, so there were many people in the house, and seeing more and more people, the craftsman simply stood on the offering table, holding the bowl containing the copper coin, and grabbed the copper coin and threw it around:

"Throwing the beam to the east, the east sunrise is full of red; Throwing the beam to the west, Guanyin sent the son to welcome double happiness; Throw the beam to the south, and the children and grandchildren will be the champions; Throw the beam to the north, and the white rice in the warehouse is full of age. ”

The craftsman threw the copper coin in his hand, and the whole ceremony was over, and everyone withdrew from the new house so that the sun could bask the beams.

This is the last step of the beam, today is really a good day, the sun is very bright, the roof has not yet been tiled, the sun is sprinkled down, is shining on this beam, it looks really festive.

Liu Man'er also felt that she was in a good mood when she looked at it, this ancient custom is still a little reasonable, no wonder you want to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, if it rains heavily on the beam, it must be a bad head, and it makes people feel bad when they look at it.

Liu Man'er felt that she had chosen a good day.

But she can't be allowed to watch more, she has to go home to cook and entertain these relatives and friends.

The indispensable dish of chicken, duck and fish, and made a croquette, a bowl of braised eggs, and some vegetables, etc., accompanied by meat dishes, it is quite rich.

In fact, many of these guests of the Ye family, Liu Man'er didn't know them, anyway, it was the Fang clan who usually ushered in and sent them, and even if the front clan told Liu Man'er, Liu Man'er didn't understand.

But now that Fang saw that Liu Man'er had become smart, he wanted to let these relatives get to know Liu Man'er again, so he asked her to come over to greet the guests.

This is really embarrassing for her, she is really not good at these things, but fortunately, there are Fang and Ye Yuan, who have been saying in her ear, who is this, so Liu Man'er knew, in addition to a few cousins and uncles, there are also two aunts!

Liu Man'er always thought that Ye Yuan's father had only one brother, but she didn't expect that there were two aunts.

Didn't they see that their house was getting better, so they came to fight the autumn breeze?

Forgive Liu Man'er for having this kind of villainous idea, mainly because when Ye Yuan's family was in trouble in the past, it was always the Fang family who gritted his teeth and took these children, and there was no one to help them, even during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, these two aunts had never come, but they didn't expect that they got the news from Shangliang this time and rushed over.

Alas, it's good that you don't come and disturb her life anyway.

After entertaining these relatives and villagers, everyone still had something to do, and they also dispersed, but the two aunts were still staying at Liu Man'er's house, Liu Man'er was not familiar with them, it seemed that the Fang family didn't seem to have anything to talk to them, and for a while, they fell into silence.

Liu Man'er went out and secretly asked Ye Yuan, where did these two aunts marry, Ye Yuan said that they were in the next town, and the two aunts' families seemed to be quite rich, one aunt married a Xiucai, and the other aunt's family opened a grocery store in the town.

Anyway, these two aunts' families are much richer than their own family, hearing this, Liu Man'er felt a little contempt in her heart, they are relatives, and when Ye Yuan's family was so poor in the past, I didn't see them helping.

However, people have no obligation to help their own family, Fang's is not a person who is eaten by the mouth, although she has been poor all these years, she has not asked anyone, people are poor, but they must have self-esteem and ambition!

Now, isn't this life also good?

After inquiring with Ye Yuan, Liu Man'er went to the hall to accompany the guests again, she mainly wanted to look at them, look at them, and prevent them from taking advantage of her absence to say bad things about themselves in Fang's ear.

These women like to talk about people behind their backs, and before Liu Man'er got close to the house, she heard them talking about herself, and her ears were sharp, so she simply did not go in, and listened at the door for a while.

This hearing made her lungs blow up!

What these two aunts said was so ugly that they even suspected her of being unfaithful.

They thought they were whispering, but they didn't know that they were all heard by Liu Man'er.

He only heard one of his aunts say: "Ruyi, this stupid daughter-in-law of your family seems to be much smarter now." ”

"yes." Fang Shi said kindly, his tone was a little relieved, quite happy.

But the aunt said, "But I think you have to watch your daughter-in-law carefully, I heard that she used to walk around the village, and was once dragged into the haystack by some men......

The latter words, without her explanation, are naturally not a good thing.

Another aunt also said, "Yes, yes, so you have to pay attention, especially since this stupid daughter-in-law of your family is so beautiful now, I don't know how many men in your village are staring at her." ”

"Yes, pity my distant son......" The more this aunt said, the more outrageous it became, Fang's face turned black immediately, this kind of thing, can you say it casually?

Liu Man'er couldn't listen to it anymore, so she rushed directly to the house, ignoring the surprised expressions of the two aunts, Liu Man'er said coldly:

"Two aunts, we are very welcome to be guests, but I didn't expect that the two aunts are still know-it-alls, and in another town, they know exactly what is happening in our small village! I don't know where did the two aunts hear these ambiguous words? Listen to whom! ”

"Man'er, don't be rude." Fang said on the side.

Liu Man'er was angry, she didn't even listen to Fang's words, she said coldly: "This kind of rumor-mongering person, it's okay if I don't beat her out, and you want me to be polite?" ”

"The two aunts didn't see you coming when our family was in trouble in the past, and on today's big day, you came to help Shangliang, we welcome, good wine and good food, but I didn't let you make rumors about me in front of my mother!"

"Whether I am chaste or not, my father-in-law naturally understands, listening to your words, it is as if he has seen it with his own eyes, come, come, tell me, who is that man in what you have heard?"
