Chapter 40 The peach blossoms are red The spring fragrance blows outside the small bridge
The west wind gradually rolls wolf smoke in the east,
There are holes in the bright light to see in feng shui.
Where in the world is the place to find the dragon,
He can grow old and add sins.
Without further ado, the widow was having breakfast with Ermao on this day, when she heard the car honking outside the gate, and the people were noisy. Not long after, a group of people walked towards the courtyard from outside the gate, and Fan Ermao quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks and greeted him, and he felt familiar at first glance. Seeing the arrogant posture of the person who came, he glanced at Ermao and asked, "Is Mr. at home?" ”
"Yes." This Fan Ermao responded, thinking to himself, didn't he come to ask for a hexagram a few days ago? I saw two young people behind them, the young men were carrying gifts in their hands, and the three people were followed to see the excitement. This Fan Ermao leaned to the side, looked at the three of them, and then came over to block the people watching the excitement, and he also turned around and entered the house.
The man sat down across from the widow with a big grin, but the widow just bowed her head to eat, and did not pay much attention to the visitor.
Ermao stepped forward and said, "Auntie, someone is here." ”
"Hmm." The widow snorted and didn't look up, "Didn't you say it the day before yesterday, don't look at this hexagram." ”
"Old lady, I passed on your words to the boss, and the boss asked me to invite you today, saying that you must go." As he spoke, he motioned to the two followers, and the two hurriedly presented the gifts they were holding in their hands, and Fan Ermao stepped forward to continue. "Get the gift back." Then I heard the widow speak in a muffled voice.
Seeing this, Fan Ermao immediately changed his posture and blocked the comer.
"Huh?!" I heard the man exclaim, "Old woman, why? ”
The widow had finished eating at this time, pushed the dishes and chopsticks, turned her head to look at Ermao, and said, "Put away the bowl." ”
"Yes." This Fan Ermao turned around and came over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Why, old woman? I've been here twice, and I'm here sincerely. You give me a reason, otherwise I won't be able to go back. ”
"Didn't you say it last time, don't look at this hexagram."
"Why? Old woman. "The haughty frame of the man who came at this time has been lost to the country of Java.
"Young people, if you don't look at it, you don't look at it, where is the reason."
"Ahh The visitor was choked by the widow's words, and saw the visitor sitting there with a red face, wanting to be angry but not daring to be angry, and came back to his senses and begged: "Old woman, old gentleman, can you give face?" I've been here twice, how can I make a difference this time? ”
"Ermao, send the guests out." The widow didn't give an explanation, and called Ermao to see off the guest. Here Fan Ermao hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and came to see off the guests. The person who came blushed, helplessly took the person with him, and left with the gift.
Why don't you tell this widow to tell the fortune for this person, it turns out that there is a Baojiazhuang fifteen miles east of the city recently, and there is a nouveau riche in Baojiazhuang, and this nouveau riche is now developed, and it can be said that he got rich overnight. To say that the ancestors of this nouveau riche were monkey tricksters, wandering around the countryside and playing monkeys as a profession, and then they stopped playing monkeys when they got older. Who knew that this nouveau riche was tired of working in a large group after school, and he was not free, so he had to learn to play monkey when he found his father, and his father couldn't resist him, so he handed over an old female monkey and the little female monkey born to this old female monkey to him, and passed on some skills to his son. The nouveau riche trained at home, packed up his ancestral business, and took the two mother-daughter monkeys his father had given him on the road. Before leaving, his father stroked the old female monkey and burst into tears, to say that this old female monkey beat the little ancestor to him, he never left him, through human nature, this monkey will do such a job as a pot, spiritual, this old bag looks like he is going to leave him, and his heart is naturally uncomfortable to death.
This nouveau riche has been gone for decades. Since wandering abroad as a monkey player, he has not returned to his hometown, and later begged for a wife in a foreign country, set up his own door, and came back even less. I didn't want to come back suddenly some time earlier, so I brought back the technology of breeding earthworms from Shenyang. said that there was a big article in this little earthworm, which could make medicine and wine, and as soon as this advertisement came out, followers arose, and it didn't take long for this nouveau riche to set up a company and a factory, and became a celebrity within a radius of 100 miles.
Entrepreneurs, it's really rich overnight.
Some time ago, I heard that the widow was a hexagram, so he sent his men down to ask for a hexagram, and the widow refused after seeing the birthday. The subordinated man went back and paid homage to the nouveau riche, and when the nouveau riche heard this, he sent the subsummate to prepare a generous gift to invite the widow.
This nouveau riche subordinate invited him to eat the closed door again, and he was so annoyed. went back to the nouveau riche, vented his emotions, and told the nouveau riche that he was going to invite himself, but he didn't go, and then went to his own business.
The nouveau riche listened to the report of his subordinates, and his heart became even more suspicious. At first, I was very angry, thinking that this widow was too ignorant of what to do. Uncle Ben is now a local tycoon, an entrepreneur, and my name is in the county's honor list, and my stomping in the east city is ringing in the west city, and the county magistrate is still respectful when he sees me, and a little widow who tells fortunes doesn't give face and doesn't know how to lift. Then he thought about it, and thought that there must be a reason for this, and his desire to see the widow became even heavier.
There is no table here, and the widow rejected the nouveau riche on this day, this Fan Ermao saw it in his eyes and was very puzzled. In the evening, the two of them sat under the oil lamp, and Fan Ermao spoke. This Fan Ermao said: "Auntie, why didn't you show that person the hexagram this morning?" ”
"Ermao, some truths are also very simple, a person comes to this world, from life to death has its value concept. It makes sense that ancient people defined a person's value as how much wealth they possess and how much they enjoy as officials. This concept of value, whether yesterday, today or tomorrow, is always the standard for measuring a person's own value. In the practice of life, our predecessors found that some people are born with the talent of leading others and the talent of being a leader. Some people are born with the ability to create wealth, of course, these talents and talents also need to be cultivated and trained in the acquired environment, but the possession of natural talents is an inevitable prerequisite, and without natural talents, it is impossible to use acquired cultivation to create a person's wealth concept and leadership ability. The main value of people's activities in society is actually the value of your vested interests in production and labor, and the value of your reputation for leading others to serve others. When a person's natural talent can not match the value of wealth created by acquired environmental factors, that is to say, when a person with leadership talent departs from the original intention of serving others, and changes the talent born for others to exist only for himself, his behavioral norms will naturally exceed the standard of social value measurement, and the consequence is naturally the coming of disaster, which is also the conventional knowledge of human society to continue to explore and understand. Measuring it with today's social concept will criticize it as a kind of stupid ideology, but in fact, this is the source of power for the progress of human civilization.
The generation of interest value and the continuous natural renewal of leadership resources are the source power for the development of human society, and the progress of civilization of human society is inseparable from the continuous renewal and redistribution of materials and rights, that is, the redistribution of wealth and officials. The track of the forward development of human society is not defined, and the changes again and again are in line with the law of social development.
Looking back, the reason why this person can't read the eight characters is because his sudden burst of wealth exceeds the wealth he should have. Moreover, a person's acquisition of benefits and possession of wealth comes from just, reasonable and legitimate acquisition. And the wealth he possesses surpasses his innate and acquired abilities. This is just a first-in-one result of the development of social deformities, and it will not last long. His explosive possession of wealth was obtained by him beyond the moral standards of society and the legal norms of society, and naturally his calamity was the inevitable result. This kind of person who is reckless in his momentary ability does not know the truth that things must be opposed; is in the bureau, it is difficult for external forces to enter, and interests are consumed, and it is useless to tell him. Some truths are not yet taught to you, but you will gradually understand them later. ”
"Yes, auntie. I don't ask. ”
The two of them gossiped some more, and then went to sleep.
The peach blossoms are red,
Spring incense blows across the small bridge.
Flowing water people live in spring,
The bees are busy with butterflies dancing.
Spring was full of joy, and on this day, the widow called Fan Ermao out of the village to see the land, and went straight to a large piece of land in the south of the village. This widow went out of the village today, first, she wanted to come out to see the spring and go to the man's cemetery to see, and it was time to add a grave. The second is to let Ermao see the crops in the field.
The two women came to the outside of the village with a smile and a smile, but saw that the peach trees in the small peach orchard on the side of the road outside the village were in full bloom. The sparse peach trees are soaked in the morning sun, and where the flowers are red, the wind sends the fragrance to the nose, which has the meaning of beautiful and delicious. Bees and butterflies are flying among the flowers, and spring is in full swing.
The widow had not been out for a long time, but today she came to the outside of the village, and when she saw the sultry spring color, she felt comfortable, her face wrinkled and her smile was full of plumpness, and she looked much younger.
The two of them walked out of the village, and the wheat on the side of the road was covered with green earth. The widow wore a light blue cardigan today and black straight-leg trousers. Walking under the morning sun, showing the charm of a woman. "Ermao, seeing that it's almost the Qingming Festival, I asked you to come out of the village today to let you know where your uncle's grave is, and you should add a grave." The widow looked at Ermao and said.
"Oh, auntie, okay, you go ahead."
"Ermao, let you come out, not only to see your uncle's grave, but also to teach you a little feng shui. Although I don't have a lot of cultural knowledge, I can understand what Feng Shui is and what is the spiritual veins of the treasure land. As the widow walked, the two went in the direction of the south of the village, crossed a small bridge, and came down the brook to the southwest.
"Auntie, isn't my uncle's grave buried in my village?"
"No, buried in your uncle's ancestral cemetery, which has been several generations, the grave of his ancestors. I heard that their ancestors came here because of the brothers who begged for food, first to work as long-term workers for other families, and then to settle here with a few acres of land. ”
"Oh, when I was at home, I listened to the old man say that my ancestors also fled the famine to beg for food."
"Yes, in the past, the Central Plains was a frequent area of war and famine, and when there was a great disaster or famine, or a year when war broke out, the plains had nowhere to hide and take refuge, so they had to flee south. Therefore, when the aborigines flee, they will leave a lot of vacant land, and when the war and famine have passed, there will be new nobles who will take possession of these lands, and the land will be cultivated, so there will be wandering people from outside to settle here. Most of us here are migrant households, although our village is not big, but it is a village with eight surnames, and there are many surnames in our village. I heard that they all fled here, which is what they used to call long-term workers. ”
"Auntie, then my uncle's family is also a long-term worker of the landlord?"
"Needless to say, yes for sure. It's just that listening to the old man, there are many long-term workers who have a few acres of thin land at home, and those with a large family population work as long-term laborers for the landlord and cultivate their own land. At that time, land was more expensive than anything else, and the money that people had saved in the past was to buy land, and those who were economically minded later became new landlords. In the past, not all the landlords lived by exploiting people. My family has 100 acres of land, listen to my mother, who is willing to spend money on long-term labor, they are all doing it themselves, tired to death, only to be too busy to come, only to find a short-term worker. ”
"Auntie, then your family is a person with ingredients?"
"Why not, or can I learn to tell hexagrams? When I married into this village, I still carried the name of four types of molecules. ”
"Alas!"
"Alas, what. Ermao, what is there to sigh about, I don't think there is anything to sigh, this is the progress of the times, as I told you some time ago, human society is constantly exploring the establishment of a fair and just society, and social change is an inevitable trend. Taking the analysis of the eight-character numerology as an example, some people's eight-character can know at a glance that these people are not good at financial management, do not have enough wisdom for the creation and acquisition of wealth, lack the actual ability to create, and will naturally have economic poverty in their later life. And some people's eight characters can be seen as soon as they are lined up, and the accumulation of wealth by this person is beyond ordinary people, so this person will definitely be able to create a lot of wealth in his later life, so he is sharing it with everyone? Or do you have it alone? This is the real fundamental question.
In fact, in the process of social development, people use various disciplines to explore and research to find a balanced development of society. What it really means is to guide and instill the idea of wealth sharing. The ability of people is large and small, the ability of the strong to benefit the weak people, is the inevitable trend of social development, the creation of wealth from the straight line of acquisition, with the means of wisdom and creation to obtain, but the distribution system is inseparable from the support of power. Only a fair and just distribution system of public power can share the common wealth of mankind and create a harmonious society. ”
"Auntie, your reasoning is a little bigger, I don't understand it."
"You'll understand it later."
The two of them walked and talked and came to the cemetery unconsciously, and saw that there were more than a dozen old graves, large and small. The widow went to a small tomb in the southeast corner, and saw that the tomb was alone outside the graveyard, about thirty or forty paces away. The widow pointed to the grave and said, "Ermao, this is your uncle's grave, in a few days the people of the clan will come to add the grave, and you will follow them to add soil." Remember to listen to them, they let them add as much soil as they want, there are rules. ”
"Yes, auntie, don't worry, I know the rules."
"For more than 20 years, I have come with this grave." As the widow spoke, tears rolled in her eyes, and her heart became sad. "Ermao, one day when I leave, you and your brother will bury me beside him, remember to bury me on his left."
"Auntie, is that okay, will the people in the clan agree?"
"Alas, too, when a person dies, what kind of competition is there to fight for," said the widow, rubbing her eyes, and laughing, "I just don't be angry, I hate this conscienceless man, who left my orphan and widow, but he lies here at ease." ”
"Auntie, look at what you said, you are in good health, you have a long life, how can you say that this is boundless, my brother will be able to earn money after graduating from college, and your good life is still ahead."
"When people eat whole grains, they will one day enter the ground." As she spoke, the widow's face darkened again.
"Auntie, there are so many ancestral graves in your family, but what about the Wang family." Ermao saw that the widow and aunt were in a bad mood, and hurriedly diverted the conversation.
"Yes, people are not prosperous. This cemetery is the cemetery of the Wang people, if your uncle does not lie here, I will have three or five children in front of me, look at your uncle's uncles and brothers, each of them has several sons, it is a prosperous person. ”
"Auntie, where can I see this, I think it's an old grave."
"This is Feng Shui, this is also a university question, the origin of Feng Shui comes from the theory of Yin and Yang, and the origin is far-reaching."
"Oh."
"Early Feng Shui originated from the upper classes, from the royal aristocracy. In the past, only the royal nobles talked about feng shui, in order to ensure that future generations would always be rich and prosperous, and always retain their rights and wealth. Where do the common people talk about feng shui, there is a place to bury a grave is a great satisfaction, it is difficult to eat and have food and clothing, where does the feng shui come from. Feng Shui was passed down to the people, which was a matter after the Tang Dynasty, and it was the most popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. ”
"Auntie, what is Feng Shui?"
"Feng Shui, like the eight-character numerology I taught you, is to find wealth and officials. Find the place of wealth, the cave of officials. The so-called feng shui is where the wind comes and the water goes. The wind is the cave of the official, and the water is the source of wealth. Check the wind to move the acupoints, watch the water flow into the abyss, according to the upwind trend, the power of the confluence canal, transparent and collect the wind, flow and gather water. The wind moves the water, the wind can carry the official qi, and the water can gather financial resources, which is called feng shui. In a word, Feng Shui is to find a place where you can prosper and make money in this endless land and mountains, which is Feng Shui. ”
"Isn't that the same as the eight-character numerology, that is, looking for the positioning of wealth and prosperity?"
"Yes, that's understandable."
"Feng Shui comes from the Zhou Yi theory, and its core theory is that the two rituals give birth to four images, and the four images give birth to gossip, and then deduce the three talents, the five elements, the six yao, the seven colors, the nine palaces, the twenty-four mountains, the twenty-eight stars, and the sixty-four hexagrams.
In order to make it easier to remember, you can remember it like this: for one Luo, two yi, three cai, four images, five elements, six yao, seven colors, eight trigrams, nine palaces, twenty-four mountains, twenty-eight constellations, and sixty dragons. ”
"Auntie, it's hard to remember."
"Don't memorize by rote, my aunt will teach you later." The widow pointed to the graveyard as she spoke, and the gloom of her face vanished, and she smiled and said; In fact, Feng Shui is also a kind of ethnic memory, and the desolate graves of the predecessors carry the sacrifices of the descendants. If you don't have this grave, you remember where your uncle came to worship? Alas, people are all ecstasy, and the reason why the god of death is only in the hearts of the living. The widow walked to the right side of the grave, stood on a point, and said with a smile, "Ermao, remember that I am standing in this place, and when I die, you and your brother will bury me in this place, you remember." ”
"Auntie, look at what you said, you're not here, it's early."
"I'm just letting you remember."
"Auntie, where does this flat land come from?"
"You don't understand this, do you see this land, you look south." The widow said and looked around, then pointed to the guide surface, "See?" There was a small stream there, and the water of the stream came from the west. Further to the northwest, there is a dark ridge ridge, which stretches to the south to form a dark hill. In our plain area, feng shui is not so obvious, looking at it, a horse and a flat river, where is feng shui? But if you look closely, you can find a place for Feng Shui.
We are here, located in the Central Plains, harvesting the rain in the southwest in summer and the wind in the northeast in winter. The wind rises from the northeast, comes to the southwest, blows to the dark hill, and will inevitably form a vortex, where the vortex flows, is not only the treasure of feng shui that the ancients believed, but also the acupuncture point and the wind acupoint. The water flows from the west to the east, and the rain comes from the southwest, forming a water flow, and there must be a whirlpool where the stream bends, and where the whirlpool flows, there is a water hole, which is a water hole. The wind cave is powerful, and the mountain is expensive, and the official is judged. The water hole is powerful, gather water to get wealth, and talk about wealth. Looking smaller, this is the starting idea of Feng Shui. And then extend to the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, the wind and water, the emperor's tombs, and the urban area, that is the great feng shui. ”
"Auntie, what kind of feng shui is this cemetery of my uncle's house?"
"Look at what this child asked, the cemetery of your uncle's house is nothing, there is no wind, there is no water, that is, a place of robbery, there are many strange children and grandchildren, it can be said that the children and grandchildren are full, but they have no birth."
"Auntie, then my uncle's grave has been moved, that's what it means?"
"Alas, when I buried your uncle, I didn't think this cemetery was very good, but our rural customs and habits couldn't go out of this place, so I counted twenty-eight steps and moved to the southwest."
"Auntie, no wonder my brother went to college? This is not the air coming from his ancestral grave, but the smoke coming from my uncle's grave. Ermao spoke, looking at the widow and smiling.
"Then you can't say that, it's a bit superstitious, and you can be rich if you bury it in feng shui?" The widow looked at Ermao and looked around, and said, "Ermao, it is far-fetched to be rich and glorious only by relying on the feng shui of the ancestral tomb." If you bury a treasure of feng shui and you can be promoted to an official and make a fortune, then not all the people who are officials and make a fortune all over the world will be occupied by the descendants who know feng shui. If he looks at Feng Shui treasures
If he didn't occupy the land first, then won't all his descendants be rich and noble? People, that is, a maze array, everyone wants to get rich and become an official, but if everyone is an official, it won't be messy. Some people take feng shui very seriously, thinking that feng shui is adhering to the magnetic energy of heaven and earth, and the tomb of the ancestors is a magnetic field, and the body of the ancestors can absorb the qi of heaven and earth, absorb the magnetic force of the two poles, and emit the magnetic energy of yin and yang, benefiting future generations. Ermao, don't you sound a little mysterious, anyway, I don't believe it. The imperial mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is a treasure of feng shui, isn't it still a change of dynasty? Has it benefited future generations? Cut off children and grandchildren. What is Feng Shui? Feng Shui is nothing more than people's psychological desire for a good environment, a beautiful living environment is people's life needs, and Feng Shui after death is people's psychological sustenance. The main reason that really affects the living state of people's descendants is the acquired family education environment and the general environment of social development, and feng shui and bloodline are only one of the factors on the road to success for children. ”
"Auntie, if you don't believe me, what do you believe, the uncle in the East Village believes it, he shows people feng shui every day."
"Ermao, my aunt doesn't believe it, but she is skeptical. To say that no science in this world exists in isolation, just like Feng Shui, which originates from the Eryi Bagua and contains the numerology of the stars, which is rich in connotation and difficult to understand. In fact, the theoretical basis of Feng Shui is the hope to return to nature, and people come from the father's sperm and mother's pregnancy, clenching their fists, to their death; Coming from heaven and resting in the earth is just a natural phenomenon. Of course, I hope to have a good environment when I am alive and a place of wind after death, and this kind of back-to-basics ideology is understandable. It's just that the emperor and the nobles don't think so, what they want is to be prosperous from generation to generation, noble from generation to generation, and forever superior. Therefore, Feng Shui has long been detached from its original appearance and has become a tool to serve the aristocracy, and the common people have only heard about it. Even today it is also the goal pursued by the rich, talking about feng shui is talking about financial officials, leaving the pursuit of financial officials, there is no talk of the existence of feng shui, the reason why feng shui has been undefeated for thousands of years, and the vitality is so strong, that is, what I just said, the direction of the wind, the water comes and goes; The wind moves the hole, and the water flow stops. The wind cave is backed by the mountain and lives in the official, and the water flows to the river and gathers wealth. The land of feng shui,
Benefiting the descendants and prospering from generation to generation, this is the source of Feng Shui. Ermao, let's go, it's not early, let's go home. ”
"Yes, auntie, go home."
The two of them left the cemetery and walked back to the village.
Precisely:
Mountains and rivers travel feng shui flow holes,
It can be compared with the Heavenly Vein of the Authentic Law.
One life, two fortunes, three feng shui,
Only for the financial officer to set the scorpion.
