The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

The Yan family wanted to keep a low profile when they raised the beam, but their family was living a prosperous life and everyone in the village was watching.

Many villagers who usually don’t go out come here this day. Since visitors are guests, they should be entertained.

Zhao Guizhi didn't expect so many people to come, so she only prepared a few tables. This was totally not enough, so she had to hurry to buy some food.

She was a little flustered for a moment, but the Queen Mother told her not to be anxious, as the table would not be set until noon and the villagers would not come empty-handed, so she looked around to see what she could use.

Indeed, every place has its own customs. No matter what the villagers do, they will not come empty-handed. They will bring some rice, flour, grain, oil, eggs, cakes and pastries, and most of the food will be used up on the banquet.

On the contrary, there were not many people who gave silver money, but it did exist. However, those who gave copper coins usually had at least sixty or eighty cents, otherwise it would be difficult to give them away.

Farmers look at silver and money carefully. Naturally, they are reluctant to give money if they can give what they have at home, even if the gift may be more than sixty cents.

Qiao Qingyun came early today. When the villagers sent gifts over, they had to be recorded. It would be a waste if a teacher was not used. Now Chu Xiao pressed him in front of the table and asked him to write down which family sent what.

These are all gifts that need to be repaid.

No matter which family Qiao Qingyun wrote about, they all had rows of goods, with eggs, bacon, roosters, rice, flour and everything else. Since they came here, they naturally wanted to make friends with the Yan family and would not be too stingy.

But there are inevitably some people who want to enjoy the feast but don’t want to give gifts, so they go in, find a seat and wait for the feast to start.

There really are one or two families like this in the village who just eat and drink for free, and everyone turns a blind eye to it.

The person in charge of the business will naturally not make a fuss over one or two people. No one wants to bring bad luck to themselves on such a good day.

Most of the villagers had arrived, and Lu Zhubu's family had just arrived. Naturally, the gifts they prepared were much more sumptuous.

There was a chicken and a duck, a basket of eggs, four packages of pastries, and a large jar of wine, all of which were prepared by Lu Chengxue.

As for Lu Zhubu, he smiled and gave him a red envelope with six hundred coins, which was full of copper coins and it was really a big package.

Qiao Qingyun first stood up, bowed and greeted, then sat down again to record.

Yan Zhenshen invited everyone in and sat them down, and asked Yan Zhenbei to greet them, saying that the little brat was of no use anyway, so they could just entertain the guests here.

Yan Zhenbei was looking forward to it and was busy pouring tea and serving snacks with Qing Ge'er.

The two children not only greeted the Lu family, but also went over to help anyone at the nearby table if they saw anyone in need.

The villagers who came to the banquet were also talking about it, saying that the Yan family had really become rich. With such a big house, it was one of the best in the village.

Those who went to burn incense for Boss Chu a few days ago also talked about what happened that day.

Everyone sighed again.

"That coffin is really the kind that is painted and carved. That kind is very valuable. You can't get one without three or four taels of silver."

"Not only that, even the oil lamps they used were made of ceramics, with a total of twelve. The tribute was also a whole pig's head, and it was surrounded by bluestone bricks. Now, looking across the entire Xiangyang Bay, Boss Chu's grave is the most eye-catching."

"The Yan family has become prosperous in less than a year. I think it's because they married Brother Chu."

"That's right. Otherwise, why not repair the Yan family's ancestral tomb instead of Boss Chu's?" Some people will inevitably feel jealous.

"Brother Chu has both dowry and ginseng, so what's wrong with repairing his father's tomb?" Someone retorted in dissatisfaction.

Suddenly someone spoke mysteriously: "Do you think that Brother Chu is..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by an older man: "Don't talk nonsense, if you can't repair Boss Chu's grave."

"Speak softly, it's not good for others to hear."

Of course, Chu Xiao was not completely oblivious to these discussions, but he did not take them too seriously.

People at this time are curious about unknown things but don’t have a strong desire to explore. They just want to live their own lives.

Of course, this is a good thing for Chu Xiao. If it were in the end times, someone like him would have been under close surveillance, and might even have to be dissected to see what the situation was.

The time for raising the beam was also set at noon. Chu Xiao didn't understand the local ritual of raising the beam, but it sounded very complicated.

When noon arrives, the person in charge will shout, "The time has come, please invite Taigong."

The Taigong mentioned here is said to be Jiang Taigong. He has great magical powers and can ward off evil and drive away evil spirits, so he needs to be invited out to support the family and be worshipped by the host.

Next, they would decorate the beams with colorful decorations, hang red cloth on the beams, and paste auspicious words such as "Green dragon supports the jade pillar, white tiger supports the golden beam" on both ends of the beams.

After that came the Liang sacrifice, but it was all done by the person in charge, and the Yan family just had to cooperate, placing offerings when asked and burning incense when asked.

The person in charge kept muttering to himself, causing the villagers who were originally watching the fun to shut up and listen quietly.

The next step is the most important beam-raising process, which is also the most demanding part.

The candidate for the beam-raising job must be a young man with both parents intact and good fortune. Someone like the Yan family, who has a lame father, will not do.

Moreover, the main beam needs to be pulled up from the walls on both sides, which requires great strength. Fortunately, all the men in the village are strong. Wang Wu found three young people from the village, including himself, and the person in charge naturally had people to help pull the beam.

It is also to prevent the young people in the village from being unsteady on their feet. It would be very unlucky if the main beam falls down.

I saw eight men shouting slogans and pulling the pillars upwards, while the leader shouted from below: "There is a golden rooster crowing below and a phoenix coming from above. Everyone, work harder and build the palace."

The beams on the roof need to be corrected, which requires professionals to stabilize the beams. The last step is to throw the beams.

Or sorghum rice with peanut candy will be thrown from a high place, and bamboo tubes will be thrown into the fire. Firecrackers will be heard, and everyone will thank you in unison, and the beam-raising ceremony will end.

After the beam was raised, the feast began. Yan Zhennan pulled Qiao Qingyun to a corner and said angrily, "I told you to come with us. You are our godson after all. Why don't your parents agree?"

Qiao Qingyun patted him on the forehead lightly: "Are you stupid? Unless I change my last name to Yan, it really won't be appropriate."

But Yan Zhennan was confused: "Then mother and Xiao Ge'er don't have the surname Yan either?"

"But they are Yan's daughters-in-law."

"You are still my wife." Yan Zhennan squeezed his hand angrily, "When I make money to build a house, I will let you build the beam with me."

Qiao Qingyun chuckled. He knew what this guy was angry about. He was upset that he was excluded from such a festive day.

But since they have chosen this path, they will always have to face such moments.

He pulled back the hand that Yan Zhennan was holding: "Don't talk nonsense, I will build the house and I will put up the beams myself."

Yan Zhennan's eyes widened instantly: "Why don't you take me with you?"

"Why should I bring you along?" Qiao Qingyun also teased him deliberately.

"I'm your man." Yan Zhennan said confidently.

Qiao Qingyun curled his lips: "He is also a wild man, and he is not in the same household registration."

Yan Zhennan: “…” So angry!
