Chapter 199
After breakfast the next day, Lu Zhong went to the main room to find Lu Shouzeng, and the two discussed for a long time before Lu Zhong returned to the East House.
Yulan was doing needlework on the kang with her daughters, and when she saw Lu Zhong coming in with a smile, she asked him, "How did you discuss it with your father?" ”
"As soon as my father heard that I was going to build a new yard, it was still two entrances, and he was so happy that he pulled me for a lot of fifty years before and after thirty years." Lu Zhong was very interested, and his voice was much louder.
Yulan hurriedly made a booing gesture and pointed to Zhengxiang's Xiaorui, who was sleeping on the kang.
Lu Zhong hurriedly nodded, and walked lightly to the kang to take a closer look, and saw that his youngest son was sleeping very sweetly, so he sat down in a farther position lightly.
Yulan said angrily: "Don't be so exaggerated, just speak quietly." ”
Lu Zhong said that he knew, and then said: "Dad said that repairing a house is a big deal, and it must be seen by Mr. Feng Shui, who has a profound sense of feng shui, and he recommended an old Mr. Zhou who is a little close to our family, saying that this person is profound, especially good at looking at the homestead, and my father plans to visit after lunch, so be sure to ask that Mr. Zhou to help our family see." ”
Yulan said: "Did the old man live far away that week?" Why don't you drive away, how can you let your father go alone. ”
Lu Zhong also meant this, seeing that Yulan thought of it with him, he was full of joy, "It's not far, it's two big hills away from our village." ”
"Daddy didn't say anything else?"
Lu Zhong thought for a while and added, "Dad said that I don't know if Mr. Zhou is still alive that time?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi sneered, "Dad, you're talking too funny." ”
Lu Zhong smiled. Yulan glanced at him angrily, "After saying so much, are you still not sure if that old Mr. Zhou is dead?" ”
Lu Zhong said helplessly: "This is also the last thing my father said, my father said that the last time I saw him was on the official road five years ago, when he was a gray-haired old man, five years have passed in a blink of an eye, I really don't know if he is still alive?" ”
Yulan was a little worried, "Is this old gentleman a good man?" Don't be confused, just look at the big things that delay our family. ”
Lu Zhong was full of confidence in this, "Don't worry! Dad said that the homestead of our yard is what he sees. Now our family is smooth and smooth, and life is getting better and better. Thanks to the good choice of our homestead, and the homestead of our village Fangli Zheng's family is also under the eyes of this old Mr. Zhou, look at today's Fanglizheng, he has also become a small landlord with a small industry. This is enough to prove that Mr. Zhou has the power to do things! ”
Lu Xiaoyi must have been completely convinced of the strength of this old Mr. Zhou when he heard his father's tone. Look at her mother's expression again. Still with a little worried.
After all, to build a new house is to break ground, and breaking ground in ancient culture means to disturb the peace of one side of the ghosts and gods, and the main family wants the family to be peaceful and prosperous. It is necessary to ask a powerful feng shui master, who will help choose the location of the homestead, help choose the best auspicious time, and pay tribute to the ghosts and gods attached to this place, inform them that this place is about to break ground, and ask them to know and understand or migrate to other parties, which is a gift of respect and consolation, and it is also the harmonious philosophy of yin and yang harmony in ancient China.
This kind of thing in modern society, in the promotion of science to break superstition has gradually removed some superstitious elements, take the modern society in the countryside, the vast majority of people will still ask the feng shui master to choose a site and pray before building a house, but this ancient traditional ritual procedure has become simplified, but some large real estate developers, the degree of fascination with feng shui is no less than that of the ancients.
Lu Xiaoyi used to be an atheist, but now she is shaken, she is a soul who has worn from modern times to ancient times, and she really can't find any other suitable way except to keep silent about ghosts and gods. Therefore, when she heard Lu Zhong and Yulan talking about Mr. Feng Shui, in addition to being curious about the ancient Mr. Feng Shui, she also added some worries. If it were pointed out in front of everyone that she was the occupant of the Magpie's Nest, would she be tied up and burned alive? The more Lu Xiaoyi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Xiao Ding took the autumn clothes on the side and put them on Xiao Yi, "Sister, are you cold?" Beware of the cold. ”
Lu Xiaoyi tugged at the autumn coat and muttered, "It's a little cold." ”
Yulan said to Lu Zhong, "Go and close the window." Lu Zhong got up and closed the window, and said to Yulan: "I'll take my father away in the afternoon." ”
Lu Xiaoyi shivered again, her heart was very empty, especially after Lu Zhong took Lu Shouzeng away after lunch, she was even more of a master of the six gods, and her subordinates were not serious, and she almost overturned a basin of white noodles.
Yulan saw her daughter's abnormality and said with concern: "Xiaoyi, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Xiao Yi shook his head and grinned: "Mother, I'm fine, I'm just dozing off." So he gritted his teeth and lifted his spirits, and seriously picked up the dough.
Su Qing said: "Xiaoyi, you can rest for a while, I will also make the dough in my hand after kneading it." ”
"Aunt Qing, I'm not tired, I'm not sleepy anymore." asked Yulan again: "Mother, when can grandfather and father invite Mr. Feng Shui back?" Is that feng shui gentleman really that godly? Do you catch ghosts? ”
Before Yulan could speak, Mrs. Lu preemptively said: "He can catch a ghost with a fart, maybe he will die and become a little ghost in the underworld!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi was overjoyed, called his grandmother affectionately, and said eagerly: "You said he died?" ”
Mrs. Lu pursed her mouth, "Who knows, most of the people who look at feng shui fortune determination will not live long." ”
Yulan was a little unhappy in her heart, she wanted to have a good fortune when it came to building a house, and Mr. Feng Shui hadn't invited her back yet, so Mrs. Lu and Xiao Yi began to discuss whether people were dead or not, Yulan glared at Xiao Yi fiercely, blaming her for talking too much.
Lu Xiaoyi doesn't want to do this either, isn't she weak-hearted.
At this time, Sister-in-law Hua answered: "Which feng shui gentleman is invited?" ”
After Yulan told her in detail, Sister-in-law Hua smiled and said, "I haven't heard of this person, I only heard that there is a feng shui gentleman in Shilidian who is very powerful." ”
Yulan was curious: "What kind of powerful method?" ”
Sister-in-law Hua said mysteriously: "This is all from my mother's words, saying that there is a feng shui gentleman in Shilidian who passed by my mother's village and went to a family to ask for water to drink, and the mother-in-law is a kind person, and gave him a bowl of thick brown sugar water, and the feng shui gentleman thanked her after drinking, so he took a look at the mother-in-law's house and said to the mother-in-law: Your family's wealth is not prosperous, and the mother-in-law was shocked that the water bowl fell." ”
Yulan exclaimed: "Isn't that Mr. Feng Shui right?" ”
Sister-in-law Hua nodded, "Accurate!" The mother-in-law's family is well-off, there is only one son under her knees, and the daughter-in-law who married into the door gave birth to four daughters in a row, and she has not seen a man for a long time, doesn't this confirm the sentence 'wealth is prosperous'? ”
Yulan and the others were smacked and asked Mr. Feng Shui if he gave a solution.
Sister-in-law Hua said: "That Mr. Feng Shui instructed his mother-in-law to change the direction of the courtyard gate at that time. ”
When Mrs. Lu heard that it was Wang Nanding's homestead, she asked eagerly: "What happened later?" Did that daughter-in-law really give birth to a boy? ”
Sister-in-law stroked her palms and said: "Gave birth to a child, the mother-in-law changed the direction of the courtyard door according to Mr. Feng Shui's instructions, and the second year a man was added to the family. ”
Mrs. Lu was very envious, and said regretfully: "The daughter-in-law of the Hua family should have said it earlier, my old man went to invite the old Mr. Zhou, but it's a pity, I knew that I should invite this powerful feng shui gentleman in Shilidian, and show our family a prosperous homestead!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi doubted the authenticity of this kind of miraculous rumor, and reminded: "Na, I don't think this kind of thing can be fully believed, maybe Mr. Feng Shui has inquired about the situation of that family in advance and deliberately came to the door to ask for water." ”
Sister-in-law Hua said: "You said that it is possible to do it on purpose, but after changing the direction of the gate, why did her family have a man?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi shrugged, "Isn't this simple?" The daughter-in-law has already given birth to four daughters, proving that she can give birth, and it is a matter of time before she gives birth to a son, so Mr. Feng Shui is just gambling, choose one of the two, there is always a half chance of having a son, if he wins, won't his fame start? If he hadn't won the bet, there would be no loss to him, and maybe the daughter-in-law would still give credit to Mr. Feng Shui after giving birth to a son in two years. ”
Yulan glanced at Xiao Yi appreciatively, and said with a smile: "This possibility is not impossible, but he is a feng shui gentleman, relying on real skills to eat, even if he deliberately does it to become famous, but in the future, those real things come to the door, how should he deal with it?" In my opinion, the feng shui master must have some Taoism, and I don't know how high the Taoism is. ”
Mrs. Lu still thought about Wang Nanding's homestead, and told Yulan: "When Zhong'er comes back, you tell him to change him to Mr. Feng Shui, I will look at the one in Shilidian very well." ”
Yulan said: "Mother, the old Mr. Zhou that my husband and father are inviting now are also very powerful, and our family's current homestead is what he looks at, and so is the Lizheng family." ”
"Really?" Mrs. Lu was puzzled, then half-rolled her eyes and tried to recall, and finally remembered, clapped her hands and said: "Ouch, it's that old thing, it's still related to our Lu family, do you know who it is?" ”
Yulan had already heard Lu Zhong mention that this person was related to the Lu family, and as for which family it was, she couldn't figure it out, so she had to wait for Lu Pozi to break it.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Lu curiously, waiting for her to reveal the mystery, but Mrs. Lu sold the pass, and Lu Xiaoyi urged: "Grandmother, hurry up, I'm dying!" ”
Seeing that everyone was anxious, Mrs. Lu said slowly: "It seems that he has a little relationship with the eldest mother-in-law, but he is a distant relative, and I heard that the family was poor when he was a child and couldn't afford to eat, so he was accepted by a feng shui gentleman and learned this eating trade." At that time, there was no second room in the courtyard of the big house, so the old lady built this small courtyard for the second room to live in, and the feng shui gentleman invited at that time was this person. ”
Lu Xiaoyi didn't care who he was, she only cared about whether this person had real skills, and asked, "Grandmother, is this person high?" Do you catch ghosts? ”
Yulan chirped: "You kid, why don't you ask if you can catch ghosts when you mention Mr. Feng Shui, and it is Zhong Kui who can catch ghosts, and he has nothing to do with Mr. Feng Shui." ”
Lu Xiaoyi has a hard time, isn't she worried that she will be exposed?
Mrs. Lu sneered: "I look like a magic stick!" (To be continued.) )
