Chapter 220 Too Rich
Early the next morning, the family went to the halfway up the mountain after breakfast.

Raising the beam is the most important part of building a house, and it is also an extremely grand ceremony, just like crowning a person.

When you are on the beam, if there are family members whose birthdays are opposite to each other, you must avoid it.

To offer sacrifices to the gods before going up the beam, Mrs. Li put a pig's head and tail on the altar, and Mrs. Qin helped to put fish, goose, tofu, eggs, salt, soy sauce and other offerings on wooden red lacquer sacrificial plates, together with Twenty-four bowls of other dishes and twelve bowls of northern and southern fruits are placed on the altar.

Lu Hui and others also came early. They had bathed early in the morning, tied a strip of red silk cloth around their waists, and carried the center beam with red paper into the house. Many villagers came to watch the fun.

I saw that the beams were shining golden under the sunlight, with golden threads appearing, and there was an elegant fragrance. Suddenly someone exclaimed: "Is this nanmu with golden threads?"

Rong Jiu smiled and said, "It's the golden nanmu, that's right."

Golden nanmu is not ordinary nanmu, it is usually used in royal palaces, the villagers gasped, Jiuniang is too rich!
After sacrificing the beam, Shen Cheng lit two firecrackers. Amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers, Lu Hui chanted the inscription on the beam loudly, wishing the house a long and safe life, while pouring wine on the beam, and then several people shouted good luck Dali worked together to lift the beam up smoothly.

After the central beam was stabilized, Mrs. Li asked Rong Jiu to move the five-grain color bags sent by the neighbors to the roof, put them in the middle of the beam, implying a good harvest, and put a red cloth on the beam.

Mrs. Li handed the baskets to several people again, and said with a smile, "Wait for Lu Hui and the others to throw the fruits and steamed buns down from the beam. Let's catch them with baskets. The more you catch, the better."

This is to receive the bag, which means to catch the treasure. Xiao Qingluo and Shen Rui Shen An are also holding the basket, their faces are full of excitement, and the little ones are young, but they have a good shot, and they all caught them.

It was the first time Lu Hui saw his host catch all the fruit steamed buns so many times. He congratulated him immediately, "Jiu Niang, congratulations. You will surely make a lot of money in the future, and you will have boundless blessings."

"Thank you brother Lu Hui, I accept your good words."

After receiving the package, it was the throwing beam, which was the most lively event, and all the villagers watching the excitement crowded in, looking forward to it one by one.

Lu Hui threw candy, peanuts, steamed buns, and copper coins from the beam to the surroundings, and said loudly: "Throw the beam to the east, and the sunrise in the east is full of red; , the descendants will be the number one scholar from generation to generation; throw beams to the north, hoard white rice every year."

The villagers scrambled for it one after another, and each of them had a good harvest, making bursts of laughter. Li Shi and Shen Dafu watched from the side, also grinning from ear to ear.

"Okay, it's time to dry the beams." Lu Hui yelled, and everyone followed him out of the new house.

With the help of Mrs. Song and Yunniang, all the banquets are ready. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qin welcome everyone to the table, and give everyone a big red envelope

In this way, the entire beam-raising ceremony was successfully concluded.

Just as everyone was happy, Mrs. Zhao was surrounded by a group of servants, and came in a mighty manner.

Rong Jiu glanced at Wang Baozhu behind her, and said calmly, "Why is mother here?"

The smile on Mrs. Zhao's face remained unchanged: "I heard that you went to the beam today, and I'm here to congratulate you."

"Mother has a heart."

Rong Jiu said lightly, he didn't mean to invite her in at all, and Zhao's face was a little uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Rong Jiu immediately chased her away: "Is there anything else to do, mother?"

In front of outsiders, Mrs. Zhao has always been dignified and noble. Even though she was holding her breath in her heart, she still smiled all over her face: "Every time my mother meets you, she is alone, and she doesn't even have a servant around, so she wants to match you with a few maids." .”

Is this trying to force Wang Baozhu in?
 Update question, let me say it again, there are basically two updates at present, one at 12:6 noon and one at [-]:[-] pm
