Gu Jinfeng knew that he had to do some hard work today, so he was wearing a short brown dress at the beginning, and he didn't need to take off his clothes at this time, but just rolled up his sleeves high.

He walked with a large group of people to the front of the house at the back, where some uneven soil was now sprinkled on the ground.

Qi Ling guessed that he was going to arrive from door to door early in the morning, and then listened to his introduction, and sure enough, it was.

Now, according to the usual practice, everyone should step on this "hundred soils".

The first thing that this kind of thing is going to come is naturally the length of the inside, Gu Jinfeng supported him and symbolically stepped on it.

Next are the elders of several clansmen and the older ones who came today.

When it was the turn of some women with children, they also specially instructed their children to step on them a few more times, thinking that this would be a little more joyful.

After everyone has stepped on it, the ceremony is completed, and you can officially start to go to the beam.

Qi Ling swept around his side and found that everyone's expressions had become a little serious, and they all looked serious.

It's no wonder, after all, because this upper beam is a very important thing, in the eyes of the ancients, this is not only related to the stability of the house, but also related to the future fortune of the owner.

There is even a saying that there are beams on the roof, there is grain at home, five beams on the roof, and six animals are not in vain, and the importance of the beam is clearly stated in one sentence.

The so-called upper beam refers to the process of resting the main beam on the top of the gable after the wall frame of the newly built square is made, although it is not complicated, but it is of great significance.

At this time, the girder that was to be installed in a moment was placed in front of the room, and both ends were fixed with benches.

Because it is said that once the beam is done, it cannot be put on the ground, and it will be contaminated with filth and bring * annoyance to the main family.

Therefore, from the moment the beam is ready, it is suspended and does not come into contact with the ground.

I saw Gu Jinfeng first take out four copper plates from his pocket, put them in the palm of his hand, and after his hands were together, he bowed to the beam.

Then with a hammer in his hand and a few small nails in his hand, he stepped forward and nailed the four copper plates to them, and they were very evenly distributed.

At this time, Aunt Zhao also walked up, still holding a big red cloth in her hand that she didn't know when it was ready.

Qi Ling originally thought that there was nothing special about this red cloth, but after a closer look, he found that there was a lot of things on this red cloth.

I saw that the four corners of it were sewn with a string of copper plates, and some red dates and chestnuts were worn with needles and threads.

Aunt Zhao walked up to the beam, nodded at Gu Jinfeng, and then tied the red cloth to the middle of the beam.

He was still singing something in his mouth, because Qi Ling was not standing in the front position, so he could only listen to a rough idea.

“…… Holding a piece of cloth in the main house, there is zero in one foot and three feet, the left bolt is three times to add wealth, and the right bolt is three times to Hanlin, the main family is prosperous, and the glory and wealth are full of ......"

Although Qi Ling only heard these few words clearly, he also guessed that these were some auspicious words with good meanings.

It's just that she is a little puzzled, this is on the beam, why do you have to nail it and tie a red cloth, she is embarrassed to ask others this question, so she has to pull the peach blossom and ask quietly in her ear.

"Peach Blossom, what are you doing Brother Gu? And your mother, what is that red cloth used for? ”

Peach Blossom saw that her face was puzzled, and it seemed that she really didn't know, so she whispered in her ear and explained it to her.

"Sister Ling, it is our rule here to nail four copper plates to the beams, it is said that this can protect the safety of the house and prevent evil."

"As for the red cloth prepared by my mother, it was prepared by Brother Gu when he came to our house to ask her to prepare, this is all exquisite, and it will be unlucky if you don't do it."

It turns out that this is the case, in the past, Qi Ling only knew that this upper beam was very important, but he really didn't know that it still had so many rules and processes.

After this was tied, the ballad in Aunt Zhao's mouth was almost sung, and she returned to the crowd.

Qi Ling's eyes were sharp, and he saw that everyone was surrounding Gu Jinfeng, as if they were listening to what he commanded.

Then a few men brought a wooden ladder and climbed up to the roof, and the rest of the people went their own way.

Just as Qi Ling was about to ask what was going on, something strange suddenly happened.

The chief spontaneously took a step forward, held his hand, and made a half-salute, and he could still chant words in his mouth, so that Qi Ling could hear that it was in the clouds and fog, and he didn't know why.

"This beam is extraordinary, Yuhuan Mountain is born, Yuhuan Mountain is long, Yuhuan Immortal Master is sent down the mountain, and Luban Patriarch is sent to the house......"

Seeing him speak, Gu Jinfeng's side began to move.

They first put rope nooses made of thick hemp rope on both ends of the beams, and unfastened them to death, and then threw the rope to the people on the roof.

In the background, the people on the roof were one in the east and the other in the west, slowly rising one high and one low.

Peach Blossom saw that Qi Ling was looking confused, and took the initiative to explain to Qi Ling on the side.

"Sister Ling, you see that this high and low rising beam is also particular, because they say that one end is high and the other is low, like a phoenix going up the ladder, so it is also to ask for good luck."

I see, Qi Ling thought that if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to raise the girder, it turned out to be a custom.

But she still didn't know what the chief was saying here, so she asked.

"What's in his mouth? Why do I feel more and more sleepy the more I listen? ”

Qi Ling's feeling now is the same as when he encountered a math class in school before, and the teacher in the classroom was like a book from heaven, listening to it was like a lullaby to make people fall asleep.

Peach Blossom laughed when she heard Qi Ling say this, and then looked around and found that no one noticed her, so she hurriedly replied.

"Chief, he is worshipping the immortal master Luban on behalf of us, as well as the various ancestors and ancestors, praying for your new home, such a long sacrifice, he is still the only one in our village who can memorize it."

"But Sister Ling, it's okay for you to say this to me, but don't tell anyone else."

Then Peach Blossom came over again, lowered her voice to the point where she couldn't lower it any longer, and said a word.

"Actually, I think you're quite right, I was told by the governor to fall asleep when I was a child, and my mother found out later, so she scolded me, it turns out that I'm not the only one who thinks so."
