The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

Yun Qing didn't know about Mu Qingcheng's great achievements, and he was also very curious. He was curious about what Nuannuan had been doing these days?

Every day he could only sit in the house and eavesdrop on the noise outside, but no matter how hard he listened, he could only hear the chaotic sound of footsteps. He could not hear anyone talking, but in fact he had always hoped to hear Nuan Nuan's voice.

She came suddenly that day, she must have something important to share with him!

What was this iron thing that Mo Yu and his men carried in today? He couldn't look at it, and he couldn't even speak. He could only sit here with his eyes closed, emptying his mind, and constantly holding his true energy to protect his heart meridians.

If he could endure it a little longer, he would soon force out all the poison and no longer be controlled by drunken dreams.

Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the day when they meet is not far away.

Nuannuan, wait for me...!

The eighteenth day of the winter month!

Today is a good day, the day Jin Yu He opens. Today is also a good day for the new house to raise its beams.

Mu Qingcheng had to be there, because raising the beam was a major event, and a sacrifice to the beam was required. Mu Qingcheng had never seen this before, so she followed the advice of the village elders and bought wine and offerings.

Early in the morning, Mu Qingcheng brought Mu Yao with her. Now Mu Yao always took Mo Xue with her wherever she went, so Mu Qingcheng had no choice but to bring Mo Xue with her as well.

Feng Zhishang also came with them to join in the fun. Moyu stayed at home to look after Yunqing, while Moyun and Mobing continued to dig coal. Only the Dragon Shadow Guard Mofeng came with them.

They all wore masks, and the villagers were no exception, covering themselves tightly.

In the past, no one in the village had ever had such a lively atmosphere when building a house. People would just symbolically buy a jar of wine and steam a pot of white flour cakes to treat the villagers.

But the Mu family was different. Their house was the only one of its kind in the village, so the beam raising ceremony had to be grand. Unfortunately, due to the extraordinary circumstances, a large banquet was not possible. Mu Qingcheng promised that when they moved into their new home in the future, they would definitely host a banquet for the entire village.

Although they couldn't have a feast, Mu Qingcheng had prepared candy and some snacks. Anyone who came to join in the fun could get a bag of candy and a few snacks. This was already quite respectable. Who in the village could afford to eat candy every day? Only during the Chinese New Year would they be willing to buy a bag of candy for their children, let alone snacks. Some people had never even eaten them.

Because it was the Mu family's business, all the village elders came early, but the village chief and Li Zheng were missing. The two of them took a horse carriage to the county town yesterday and have not returned yet.

The village head's wife, Zhang, was extremely worried and came to ask Mu Qingcheng. Mu Qingcheng smiled and told her to relax! Everything would be fine, and maybe the county magistrate would even give them a warm welcome!

The auspicious time has arrived and the Liang sacrifice begins.

I saw six young men carrying a thick beam with big red silk flowers tied on it, shouting slogans as they walked. The shouts sounded like singing and were quite pleasant to hear.

The beam was placed in the center of the new house. The village elders lit candles and burned incense, personally killed a chicken with a knife, and smeared a little chicken blood on the beam.

At this time, the head of the family should lead the entire family to kneel down and worship.

But the Mu family is special. Mu Qingcheng claimed to others that her brother was weak and there was an epidemic outside, so it was not easy for him to go out.

The elders of the clan also knew that it was impossible for them to embarrass a little girl like Mu Qingcheng, so they let Mu Qingcheng perform the sacrifice to the beam.

After the beam sacrifice is completed, the second step is to invite the beam.

"Please ask for the beam" means to put the main beam that has just been worshipped into the mortise of the beam column, and then set off firecrackers.

?At this time, the ceremony reached the third step.

The bricklayer himself took the lead, standing on the roof beam and began to shout praises and auspicious words. The villagers who came to watch the excitement also followed suit. Immediately, everyone was infected by the festive atmosphere and applauded.

Mu Yao also happily clapped and cheered, and even the serious little boy Mo Xue showed a rare smile.

The ceremony proceeds to the fourth step of setting the beam.

Mo Feng was to complete the task of fixing the beams, a ritual that needed to be performed by the head of the household after the beams were raised. It was too dangerous for a young girl like Mu Qingcheng to go up there, so Mo Feng was better off doing it.

Mo Feng hung a red silk bag he had made in advance on the beam. Inside, he placed grain, copper coins, and a jade pendant, symbolizing a bountiful harvest and a prosperous home. He then placed a bronze mirror on the beam, presumably symbolizing a magic mirror to ward off evil spirits.

It was already noon when all the procedures were completed. Mu Qingcheng was about to take people home when he was stopped by the village chief.

"Miss Mu, please stay!"

The two most common surnames in Daxi Village are Xu and Zhang. The clan leader who was speaking was surnamed Xu, and he was from the village chief's family. He also had a clan leader, the Zhang clan leader, beside him.

"Miss Mu, the village chief told us before he left that if he couldn't make it back, you would be in charge of the winter sowing. This is originally your Mu family's business, but it is of great importance, and we dare not take it lightly!"

Mu Qingcheng calculated the days in her mind and found that the winter solstice was on the 21st. "The day before the winter solstice, pick the grain seeds and put them in the jar." That would be the day after tomorrow. She had been so busy these past few days that she had forgotten such an important matter.

She didn't know much about farming. The most she had ever done at home was grow flowers, but those were the kind that would die if she did.

Mu Qingcheng was very upset. If she had known that she would have to travel through time to farm, she should have brought more seeds and agricultural books. That way, she wouldn't have come up empty-headed.

Ah! She recalled the records in the book again.

The book says, "Use linen cloth to seal the hole, dig a hole four or five feet deep, place the jar upside down in the hole, seal it firmly with soil, and after fourteen days, remove it and plant it in a mature field on the day of the Great Cold. In the spring, seedlings will sprout and mature a month earlier than usual, around the end of May or the beginning of June."

She only remembered these few sentences. Is this kind of winter valley so simple?

"Then let's follow the plan. Tomorrow we'll start collecting grains, and the day after tomorrow we'll put them into the urn, dig a pit, and cover the soil. Let's follow these steps."

One hundred acres of fertile land have been plowed, and the seeds have been bought in advance, with the amount needed for one hundred acres prepared. They only have to wait until the 20th to put them into an urn, cover them with linen cloth, tie them tightly with hemp rope, place them upside down in a five-foot-deep hole, and cover them with soil. It will take fourteen days to take them out.

The village chief and Li Zheng did not return to Daxi Village until the winter solstice. The county magistrate of Yongkang County came with him.
