Chapter 16: Deng Xuanchang's Environmental Theory
Yue Haohan entered the house and saw his two younger sisters studying in the study, and Haojiang didn't know what to explore in the room; Dad Yue Yulin sat in the living room watching TV, and mom Wang Sulan was busy in the kitchen; Entering the living room, Yue Yulin saw Yue Haohan and said, "Haohan, I heard Teacher Luo say that her old man is leaving in the afternoon, why don't you send it off?" β
Yue Haohan put the tea leaves on the coffee table and said, "Dad, the old man said, after lunch, the car of the provincial military district will pick him up, and I will go over to deliver it after dinner." β
Yue Yulin looked at the tea leaves placed by Yue Hao on the coffee table and said, "What is that?" β
Yue Haohan said: "Godfather came back from the countryside, and the 'Five Dragons Maojian' he brought with him was very good to drink, by the way, he said to come over for dinner at noon." β
Yue Yulin said: "Come to the kitchen and tell your mother to add two more dishes." Yue Haohan got up and went to the kitchen.
After lunch, Yue Haojiang went over and called Deng Xuanchang over; After greeting Yue Haohan's family, they will eat; At noon, Yue Haohan and his father drank a few glasses of wine with Deng Xuanchang and said, "I'll go and see if the car that picks up Old Man Luo is here, I'll go over to say hello and send off the old man; I feel very close to the old man. β
After speaking, he picked up the two catties of tea sent by Deng Xuanchang and said: "Godfather, I will give the two catties of tea you sent to Old Man Luo, no opinion!" Deng Xuanchang said: "You take it, bring a letter another day and let your godmother bring two catties to your parents when she comes back, this is my nephew's own hand-fried, it tastes good." β
Yue Haohan walked towards Mr. Luo's house with the tea, and when he was about to arrive, he saw a red flag car with a military license plate parked at the gate of Mr. Luo's yard; When I entered the courtyard, I saw that the vice principals Liu Xiaofeng and Luo Kangmei were busy, sorting out the things that the old man wanted to bring; Liu Xiaofeng greeted Yue Haohan when he saw him enter the courtyard: "Haohan is here?" Come into the living room and sit down, we'll be cleaning up in no time. β
Yue Haohan entered the living room, and saw a major and a non-commissioned officer sitting respectfully on the sofa, talking to the old man; After Yue Haohan entered the living room, he looked at the major and the non-commissioned officer and nodded and smiled, before he said to Luo Xianjie: "Grandpa, I'll send you, these two catties of tea are the purely hand-processed 'Wulong Maojian' that my godfather brought back from Wulong Township today, you can take it back and taste it, you can drink it, and I will mail it to you another day." β
The old man smiled, pointed at Yue Haohan and said to the major and non-commissioned officer: "My grandson, he is good to me, my set of Taijiquan has been passed on to him." β
Listening to the old man's words, the major looked at Yue Haohan and smiled enviously: "Chief, your Tai Chi is famous in the whole army!" It is said that it saved your life. β
Luo Xianjie laughed and said: "It's not this Tai Chi, I have already seen Marx!" β
At this time, Yue Haohan pulled a chair and sat down and said, "Grandpa, why are you in such a hurry?" I thought you were eating? Luo Xianjie said: "There is still half a day to go to Jianghan, so there is more time to leave early." β
As she was talking, Luo Kangmei came in and said, "Dad, everything is packed up, pay more attention to your body on the road!" β
Luo Xianjie said: "It's okay, my body is okay; The next time you go home, bring Xiaoyue to me and let him recognize the door, this kid, I like it! β
Luo Kangmei said: "Dad, don't worry, I also like Haohan, I don't treat him as an outsider, in my eyes he is like a son, next time I go back to Beijing, I will definitely take him back to see you!" β
Old Man Luo picked up his warm cup and walked out, and after the major and the non-commissioned officer arrived at the courtyard, they hurriedly took out two large suitcases and a few small bags and put them in the trunk of the red flag car; Old Man Luo walked out of the yard to the front and back of the car, and the major hurriedly opened the rear door, protected the top of the car door with his left hand, and supported Old Man Luo with his right hand and said, "Chief, please!" β
After Mr. Luo sat in the car, the major opened the door of the passenger seat and sat down; The non-commissioned officer had already started the car, and the old man lowered the window and said to Yue Haohan: "Boy, you are persistent; Take my word to heart; Give me a call sometime! As he spoke, the car had already pulled away.
After sending Luo Xianjie away, Yue Haohan greeted Liu Xiaofeng and Luo Kangmei again before returning to his home; After arriving home, everyone had just finished eating, and Mom and Dad were sitting in the living room talking with Deng Xuanchang, watching Yue Haohan come in; Mother Wang Sulan asked, "Old Man Luo is gone?" β
Yue Haohan said: "Just left, a red flag car and two soldiers came, just picked up!" β
At this time, Deng Xuanchang said: "Don't look at Old Man Luo, who has been retired for so many years, his influence in the army is still not small, and there are his subordinates everywhere!" β
Yue Yulin said: "The prestige of the old man Luo is a rain of bullets, and he has fought hard for nine deaths, and it is said that until now, the brothers and sisters in the United States are very strict and stubborn!" β
Yue Haohan said: "Dad, why do I think Old Man Luo has a good personality, but I didn't find that Old Man has a stubborn temper." β
Wang Sulan said: "That's the old man likes you, you two have fate!" β
Deng Xuanchang sighed: "It's really fate, vast, maybe if you develop your career in the future, Old Man Luo will give you a lot of help." β
Yue Haohan said: "My ambition is to study Chinese culture well in the future, but the Tai Chi taught by the old man really made me understand a lot of things, our ancient Chinese civilization is profound!" β
Deng Xuanchang said: "I see that you are not very interested! You have a lunch break, and if you want to be okay in the afternoon, how about coming with me? β
Yue Haohan said: "Okay, it's okay at home anyway, I'm bored, let's see how my godfather lays out feng shui for others, then you talk, I'll rest first." β
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, after Yue Haohan got up, he took a cold shower in the bathroom and just got dressed; Hearing his godfather Deng Xuanchang talking to his father Yue Yulin in the yard, Yue Haohan hurriedly walked out of the bathroom and said, "Godfather is here, you didn't rest at noon?" β
Deng Xuanchang looked at Yue Haohan, whose hair was wet, and said, "Sleep for a while, clean up and let's go; An acquaintance who runs a shop on Xiangyang Road said a few times that I should go and help see his shop; said that the shop has been open for more than half a year, and it has been losing money, let me see if there is a problem with the feng shui layout. Yue Haohan responded, cleaned up, and walked out with Deng Xuanchang.
On the way, while walking Deng Xuanchang said: "Vast, this feng shui is actually the application of easy learning in life; Many people think that the 'Feng Shui theory' is nonsense, but in fact it is not true; people's living environment is harmonious with yin and yang, and if it is natural, the people who live in it will be physically and mentally healthy; in ancient times, you know the 'three migrations of Meng's mother', that is actually Meng's mother wants to choose an environment suitable for educating Mencius. As for some people who say that it is 'superstition', that is another matter; Feng Shui is actually related to the yin and yang aura, the environment and other factors; but for ordinary people, the word "environment" is simple to pronounce, and it is not possible for anyone to do it, especially the environment in front of and behind the house is complex, and the front and back, the left and right, the distance and the near are different; If you don't know how to learn, you won't feel that there is something wrong with your environment, and you won't know how to lay out your living environment. β
Listening to his godfather Deng Xuanchang's tirade, Yue Haohan thought of the principle of Taijiquan of Old Man Luo, and said in his heart: "In fact, playing Taijiquan and environmental feng shui are not the same; It's all about harmony and nature. The luxurious and comfortable feng shui house is indeed pleasing to the eye and relaxing; That's all because the balance of yin and yang is natural. β
Looking at Yue Haohan's contemplative appearance, Deng Xuanchang said again: "We Chinese people are very smart, and we invented the concept of feng shui more than 4,000 years ago; On the basis of Feng Shui, various 'Feng Shui theories' have also been derived. Just as acupuncture and qigong have been regarded as superstitious by Westerners for hundreds of years, and are now recognized as effective remedies by many health insurance companies, Feng Shui has been favored by many merchants, bankers, lawyers, and many celebrities. A good feng shui environment is not only conducive to making a fortune and getting rich, but also conducive to people's physical and mental health. β
The two chatted while walking in the direction of 'Xiangyang Road'; passing by a store, Yue Haohan bought two bottles of mineral water, handed one to Deng Xuanchang, opened one bottle himself, and drank it with his neck up: "Godfather, drink some water, we don't have a rental in Jiangyang, I'm sweating all over, it's a little hot today." β
The two drank mineral water, and after a while, they had arrived at a good shop near Xiangyang Road and Pedestrian Commercial Street.
The shop is a street with three large shops on the street, with a signboard that reads 'Jewelry and Jade Craft Firm'; a street lamp pole next to the sidewalk outside is just facing the door of the middle of the shop; Yue Haohan followed Deng Xuanchang into the shop, only to see that the three shops are all connected, and a waist-high glass counter occupies about one and a half shops; There are jade bracelets, necklaces, small pendants and other jade handicrafts inside; In the other room and a half, the place against the wall is full of flower stand cabinets more than one person high, and in each lattice on it, there are relatively large 'jade carving handicrafts'; Behind the glass counter, a girl in her twenties was looking at a magazine in her hand, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she hurriedly put down the magazine in her hand; Stand up and smile at it. Yue Haohan approached the counter and looked at the items inside; Looking at the jade items on the counter, Yue Haohan asked casually, "These things are very expensive." β
I saw that the little girl looked at Yue Haohan, and replied with a smile: "Sir, we have high, medium and low-end items here, mainly depending on what kind of goods you want, the difference in price is mainly jade raw materials and processing technology; We can also buy raw materials here and process them for you according to your requirements. β
After Deng Xuanchang entered the shop, he didn't speak, looked east and west inside, and then stood at the gate in the middle and looked outside for a long time; Only then did he return to the counter in the trading house and said to the girl, "Zhou Quanshan is not here today?" β
The little girl heard Deng Xuanchang ask her, and hurriedly put down the jade bracelet she was holding in her hand that she was introducing to Yue Haohan; smiled and said to Deng Xuanchang: "Mr. looking for our boss?" He happened to be here today, working on an item in the back, you wait for me to call him. With that, the girl went to the back of the firm, which had a door leading to the back.
After a while, a man of forty years old, of medium stature, slightly chubby, and a smile on his face, came out from behind; After seeing Deng Xuanchang, he hurriedly walked out of the counter, stretched out his hands and shook Deng Xuanchang with a smile and said, "Teacher Deng, you are a distinguished guest!" I'm looking forward to you coming over every day, help me plan for a good life, let's go, let's sit in the back. β
The man led Deng Xuanchang and Yue Haohan towards the back and out the back door of the firm; It is a small courtyard, and the layout of the small courtyard is very elegant; Leaning against the wall at the entrance of the trading house, several large wooden shelves are placed large pieces of jade raw materials; Yue Haohan couldn't name those jades; At the back of the courtyard are three bungalows, and two more on the left and right, and there are a few workers in the left and right bungalows who seem to be busy processing jade products.
After entering the living room of the bungalow at the back and taking a seat, the man poured a cup of West Lake Longjing tea for Deng Xuanchang and Yue Haohan and said, "Teacher Deng, drink a cup of tea first; This tea is the authentic West Lake Longjing that I brought back from Hangzhou last time, and I also left two catties for you. β
Deng Xuanchang said: "Old Zhou, you are polite!" After speaking, he pointed to Yue Haohan and said: "This is my godson, a student of Jianghan University, who is also very interested in the Book of Changes, and has nothing to do at home in the summer, so come and play with me." β
The middle-aged man listened to Deng Xuanchang's introduction, and hurriedly stood up again, smiled and held Yue Haohan's hand with both hands and said, "Hello! My name is Zhou Quanshan, and I have been friends with Mr. Deng for many years. β
Yue Haohan hurriedly stood up and shook hands with Zhou Quanshan before he sat down again, and after sitting down, he thought to himself: "It seems that this Zhou Quanshan's business must be doing well, and people are very good at doing things; Look at the eight-sided exquisite. β
The three of them sat and tasted the West Lake Longjing for a while; Deng Xuanchang said: "Old Zhou, I simply looked around in your firm just now, and there is no big problem; It is necessary to adjust the layout appropriately. β
Zhou Quanshan said: "Mr. Deng, to be honest, I didn't expect this shop to make money; The main thing is to use this place as a jade product processing point, and in our small county, there are not many people who play jade, but since this shop has been brought down, I have hardly made any money in the past six months, and I have lost a lot; Even the two shops in the south and Hangzhou are also losing money. β
Deng Xuanchang said: "This should be a multi-faceted factor, and Feng Shui is only one aspect; This affects a person's luck, there are five main aspects, 'one life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of virtue and five reading', this feng shui is only ranked third; I just saw your store, there is no big problem, I will tell you a few small places, you should be no problem to improve. β
Zhou Quanshan said: "Originally, you have time, and I am going to take you to Nanfang and Hangzhou City to see the layout of my other two stores; The income mainly depends on those two stores. β
Deng Xuanchang said: "If you have a chance, you must go and see it; I looked at your faΓ§ade today, mainly because there are doors in the three rooms in front of you, there are too many doors, plus the door in the middle of you, which is facing a street lamp pole outside, these two aspects are not very good. β
Zhou Quanshan said: "Teacher Deng, how can you make the layout reasonable?" β
Deng Xuanchang said: "The most important thing for your store is to be able to hide the wind and gather energy, so that you can gather wealth; Therefore change the gates of your faΓ§ade; The second is to avoid the street lamp pole in front of you when changing the faΓ§ade; There is a saying that 'there is a pillar in front of the door like a hanging needle, which does not damage money and wealth and offspring', so it is best to avoid the lamp pole at the gate. β
