Chapter 157: Fuju Ji Mansion

PS: Today's first update, this is a scheduled release, I went out early in the morning, the second update is at noon, and it is also timed, ask for the support of the monthly pass, please, please.

Of course, fame also requires a fermentation process, which cannot be achieved overnight. Although Fang Yuan has left a deep impression on many people today, how to deepen this impression still needs follow-up development.

However, before that, Fang Yuan had not yet become famous, so he drove to the ancient residence of the Cai family in Nan'an the next morning, preparing to visit Cai Jianzhong.

Speaking of Cai's ancient dwelling, it is also a relatively famous tourist attraction, which is a famous historical site handed down from the Qing Dynasty, and there is a relatively well-preserved haode house 16th, which belongs to the national level of key cultural relics protection units.

The whole ancient residential complex is a brick and wood structure, the roof ridge is high, the carved beams are painted, the brick relief of the wall in front of the door, and the three-dimensional sense is strong. The window ridge is engraved with flowers and birds, the decoration is ingenious and gorgeous, and the calligraphy and painting of the door wall and hall are embellished, which has a special interest. All in all, from these buildings, you can appreciate the daily life of the ancient rich and noble.

Fang Yuan once came here to travel, and also listened to the tour guide talk about the origin of the ancient dwellings, it seems that in the late Qing Dynasty Tongzhi period, the Nanyang overseas Chinese Cai father and son, due to the long-term industry, business is not as good as agriculture Confucianism, after making a fortune overseas, immediately returned to his hometown to buy wasteland and build mansions.

In order to improve the social status of the family, Cai's father and son were also enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings, generously donated funds for education and disaster relief, so they were rewarded by the imperial court and were awarded the title of senior doctor. It is also an honor to become a wealthy gentleman from a businessman.

After having an official body. The Cai family was also able to build a large number of construction projects without sparing any expense, and even did not hesitate to bring back a lot of building materials from overseas, coupled with the unique charm of southern Fujian's carving art and decoration style. It constitutes a combination of Chinese and Western buildings.

Of course, even if it was before, Fang Yuan didn't know much about feng shui, and when he visited the ancient house of the Cai family, he felt that the architecture here was gorgeous and the carvings were very delicate and beautiful.

But now when he came here to look at it again, he suddenly found that the entire ancient house was like a lute. One end is big and the other is small, and the gap between the stone slabs on the stone is like a pipa string.

"Pipa-shaped!" At first glance, Fang Yuan was also a little surprised. Vaguely, I also vaguely understood that Cai Jianzhong chose to live here. The main thing is that the whole ancient dwelling, not only the environment is more elegant, but also implies the feng shui layout, which is very valuable for research. Cai Jianzhong lives here. In addition to self-cultivation. You can also study the feng shui pattern, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

After pondering, Fang Yuan observed the ancient dwellings more carefully, and suddenly remembered that the tour guide seemed to have mentioned this matter as well. The whole village hesitates, but the ancient houses have been built for more than 40 years. In the process of construction, the sound of the craftsman chiseling the stone is like a musician plucking the strings of a lute, and like the clanging sound of silver. The form and spirit are possessed. The Cai family is naturally very prosperous.

"In this way, Naruya pipa. Defeat is also a pipa. ”

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan shook his head gently, after all, the pipa can only sound for a while, and when the mansion is completed, there is no sound of craftsmen chiseling stones, just like the pipa does not sound, how can the descendants of the Cai family not decay.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with him, after Fang Yuan sighed, he hurriedly asked someone to inquire about Cai Jianzhong's residential address, and after some tossing and turning, he came to the front of a house.

At this time, Fang Yuan stopped his pace, squinted his eyes and looked carefully, only to see that the house was made of green bricks, and it was a more traditional retro building, with eaves and arches, and carved beams. But these are not the point, the point is that in this mansion, he saw an aura, a bright yellow aura like smoke and mist. The qi is bright yellow, which is a sign of auspicious house.

In this regard, Fang Yuan did not feel strange, after all, Cai Jianzhong was a powerful feng shui master, so when building his own home, he would definitely not hide his private hands.

Fang Yuan looked at it carefully, and also found that this mansion was a little strange. Generally speaking, retro-like mansions are more traditional square architectural layouts, but this mansion is more special, the top is wide, and the bottom is narrower.

Of course, the so-called wide and narrow, must be relative, anyway, from the outside, the overall layout of the house is very spacious, blue bricks and stone tiles, the ridge is undulating, staggered, very atmospheric and beautiful. In addition, Fang Yuan could also see that it was the strange architectural form of the house, which created the aura that enveloped the entire house.

Fang Yuan wandered outside the door, also attracting the attention of the people in the house. At this moment, a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old came out and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Fang Yuan, and I'm here to visit Master Cai." Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Master Cai Jianzhong is at home, I made an appointment with him yesterday and came to visit today." ”

"Oh!" The young man nodded, turned around and opened his throat and shouted, "Grandpa, someone is looking for you......"

“…… Master Fang is here. After a while, Cai Jianzhong walked from the hall with a warm smile on his face: "It's really a long way off, don't blame it." ”

"I took the liberty ......"

During the greetings, Fang Yuan slowly walked into the house under the invitation of Cai Jianzhong. Fang Yuan walked very slowly, looking at the layout of the mansion as he walked, and his eyes also showed a bit of abruptness.

Cai Jianzhong noticed it, and immediately asked with a smile: "Master Fang, what advice do you have for the cold house?" ”

"Master Cai, this is Fuju Ji Mansion, where is my turn to advise." Fang Yuan smiled and waved his hand, and then sighed: "If I'm not mistaken, the stacking of bricks and tiles in Fuju should all come from Master Cai's hand." ”

"Haha, no, I'm old, my energy is not as good as before, it's just a beginning, and most of the work is done by my apprentices." Cai Jianzhong explained, and also praised: "Master Fang really has good eyesight, and he can see through my feng shui layout here by looking at it casually." ”

"I was studying outside for a few minutes just now, and I only got a little bit of it after I walked in." Fang Yuan said with a smile: "At the beginning, I thought that this was a town with magic weapons, and then a feng shui bureau was arranged. But after walking in, I found that the whole house itself was a formation. Take the array as the house, take the house as the array, it's amazing. ”

Between speaking, Fang Yuan sighed sincerely, although he had known that Cai Jianzhong was very powerful and the feng shui layout was very detailed, he didn't expect it to be so detailed. Through the bricks and tiles of the house, layer by layer, and then a feng shui bureau is formed, such ingenuity, such ability, is really impressive.

At this moment, Fang Yuan finally understood what it meant to have people outside the world, and he couldn't underestimate the people in the world just because he had special abilities. You must know that shijie is very big, not only the mountains and wilderness hide dragons and crouching tigers, but also the folk strange people are endless. There may not be an all-rounder, but people who specialize in one item can definitely give full play to their strength.

"Master Fang has won the prize." Cai Jianzhong smiled and was in a good mood. Ordinary people don't understand the subtleties of the house, even if they praise him, they are unmoved, but the praise from his peers is an affirmation of his strength, which naturally makes him feel comfortable.

"It's a fact." Fang Yuan said with a smile, after coming in, he found that this house shape with a narrow bottom and a wide upper part is actually similar to an ancient rice bucket, the front yard and the back yard are the mouths for rice, and the roof ridge in the middle is a beam, which is very vivid.

Creating such a house pattern shows that Cai Jianzhong is not ambitious, and he does not expect future generations to be rich and rich, but only hopes that they can have no worries about food and clothing, and be safe.

This is also one of the reasons for Fang Yuan's admiration, after all, with Cai Jianzhong's ability, it should not be difficult to protect his descendants from being promoted to become wealthy, but he did not do so. The reason for this, I'm afraid he also knows that if his descendants don't have such a fate, then the wealth that is forcibly given to them will definitely not last long, so he will create a bucket-shaped Zhongji pattern.

Of course, knowing is knowing, but whether you can resist such a temptation depends on Cai Jianzhong's own integrity. After all, some people also feel that life is very short for decades, so it is natural to have fun in time without thinking about long-term interests. In this case, there must be many people who choose to get rich suddenly, and they don't care about what lasts forever, as long as they get rich overnight.

Many people think that after I die, I will be in a terrible flood, so I will continue to squander and spend all my money before I die. As for future generations or something, the so-called children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't pay attention to it......

Of course, that is pure egoism, and because of the different personality concepts, the style of acting is naturally different. Obviously, Cai Jianzhong is not that kind of person, he does not choose short-term wealth, but pays attention to long-term well-being.

With this inference, Fang Yuan was more sure of the purpose of coming to visit Cai Jianzhong today. After all, people with long-term vision should also be more open-minded, so as not to blow themselves out of the door.

Fang Yuan thought secretly, and soon sat down in the hall under the invitation of Cai Jianzhong.

During the period, tea is made to entertain guests, which is also the proper meaning.

Fang Yuan raised his glass and took a sip of tea, and after praising it for a few words, he didn't plan to go around in circles, he directly took out a box and pushed it in front of Cai Jianzhong, and then said with a smile: "Master Cai, this is a gadget I got recently, please help me take a look." ”

"Huh?" Cai Jianzhong was stunned, and when he saw Fang Yuan taking something out, he thought that Fang Yuan was going to give him a gift. Fortunately, he didn't open his mouth to prevaricate, otherwise he would have made a mistake.

Cai Jianzhong was a little lucky, his palm slightly rubbed the short hair like a silver needle on his head, and he was also a little curious: "Master Fang, what is in the box?" ”

"Look, you'll know when you see it." Fang Yuan sold Guanzi.

"Oh."

Cai Jianzhong was no longer polite, and directly picked up the palm-sized box and opened it. At first glance, he was stunned, only to see a small bell in the box, a bell the size of a ping-pong ball. In addition, the appearance of the bell is not very good, there is a lot of dust inside and out, and there are even a little rust spots.

All in all, it was an old bell, and it looked like it had been picked up from the place where it had been hung for years, and it was put into the box without even wiping off the dust.

When he saw this bell, Cai Jianzhong was a little confused, and then a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his face changed: "Master Fang, what do you mean by this?" (To be continued......)
