The Baidu entry says something about how construction of mansions required waiting until the fixed stars appear so that orientation can be determined, and the vernacular translation they give is 定星现于天正中: when the fixed star is in the middle of the sky.
Unless I'm missing something, Baidu just says the stopping in the fields is to show that he's personally going to supervise farming bc agricultural production is so important
