Liao Qing saw that Xu Jiaojiao had no intention of withdrawing her hand, so she was overjoyed, grabbed her soft little hand, and slowly rubbed it twice......

"Does it feel okay?" Xu Jiaojiao asked suddenly.

"Okay! That's great, uh......"

"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao ......" Xu Zhang's shout came from outside, and Liao Qing hurriedly let go of his little hand.

"Tell you something." Xu Zhang's pushed open the half-hidden door, and he didn't say hello to Liao Qing, anyway, he had already tacitly acquiesced that he was the Xu family, "The date for building this house is set, I am thinking, tomorrow I will invite a feng shui gentleman to see where it is suitable to be built?" ”

"Okay, mother." Xu Jiaojiao nodded.

"Alas, I originally thought that I would ask the abbot master of Niangniang Temple to show me a piece, but who knows what the master said, the monks don't look at feng shui. I really don't know what's wrong with that. Xu Zhang nagged.

Xu Jiaojiao smiled, "That master is right, a real monk really can't read feng shui, even if he understands it, he can't read it." ”

Xu Zhang's was originally nagging casually, but when he saw Xu Jiaojiao say this, he was stunned, "Then why?" ”

"What do you think, what does a monk do? They are persuading people to believe in Buddhism and Bodhisattvas. But what about feng shui, it is a matter of changing fate, and this fate can be changed, so why do you still believe in his Buddha? The two can't talk about each other at all, so the monk naturally can't look at feng shui. Not only feng shui, but also fortune-telling and hexagram interpretation, serious monks can't do it. ”

If you have to be a monk, then in addition to being difficult to love, you can only say that you like something very much.

"Oh, the old girl knows so much!" Xu Zhangshi was surprised, "This really makes sense, it's like that, my mother understands." ”

Liao Qing was also surprised on the side, his daughter-in-law, the pressure on him was a bit big?

Xu Zhang chatted a few words in the house, and then left in a hurry and invited Mr. Feng Shui to go.

The days were set, and the time was relatively urgent, Xu Jiaojiao discussed the procurement of materials with Liao Qing again.

Building a house is a big deal, and there are many materials to be used, such as foundations, columns, beams, bucket arches, and rafters, and it is not realistic to purchase all the materials that need to be used at one time.

Let's get a rough idea first, such as which materials are where to buy them, and which ones can be made by yourself, and sort them out first.

Ordinary people, do things in pursuit of two words: cost-effective.

Xu Jiaojiao knew the tricks of the Buddha, but she didn't understand how to build a house here, mainly Liao Qing said, she listened.

The first thing to do, of course, is to lay the foundation.

The foundation here is generally made of large pieces of bluestone in the old wild mountains as a load-bearing. However, it has the disadvantage that if it is eroded by rain or groundwater for a long time, it may partially collapse and cause cracks in the wall. Because of its proximity to the Qingshui River, this is not uncommon.

If you want to build a more stable one, it is best to use rammed earth as a foundation, which is formed by mixing red mud, coarse sand, lime and water, and then pressing by gravity. Don't underestimate rammed earth, although it has a soil character, it is a material that is stronger than cement. Most of these materials can be found by the Qingshui River or in the mountains, and they don't cost much.

Xu Jiaojiao only knew that there was such a material, and now when she heard Liao Qing talk about it, she immediately thought about it, and decided to use this method to lay the foundation, anyway, the labor here is cheap.

At the same time as laying the foundation, you also need to buy green bricks to build the wall. At the same time as building the wall, it is necessary to buy tiles and so on, and discuss the time and order of entry one by one.

……

***

A tall, thin middle-aged man, with a short beard, wearing an old gray robe, holding a bell in one hand and a box in the other, was invited home by Xu Zhang.

This is Mr. Feng Shui.

After a meal, a large group of people walked out of the courtyard and came to the dojo.

"Here, the front and back are all my Xu family." Xu Zhangshi roughly stroked with his hand, "This time, there is Mr. Lao, help us find a blessed place to come out." ”

Although Li Zheng agreed, their new house could be built anywhere, but the Xu family still wanted to be closer to the old house, so that everything would be more convenient.

Everyone looked at this feng shui gentleman.

"Dangdangdang...... Mr. Feng Shui shook the bell, mumbled, looked around, and said: "Old lady, please rest assured, I pray that I have traveled south and north, and I have seen countless good feng shui, and I will definitely choose a treasure for you to come out." ”

This Mr. Qi looked here, walked a few steps and looked again, and kept saying: "This place is good, all good...... Old lady, you are a good place here, but it is not easy to find the best treasure land. But don't worry, pray has a magic weapon with him this time, and with the help of this treasure, this is not a problem. ”

After speaking, Mr. Qi opened the box in his hand and took out something out.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at it, it was about a rectangular wooden block, with a lot of bars and scales carved on it, similar to gossip, and there was a groove in the middle of the wooden block, and a short stick-like thing was trembling slightly on top of it......

What kind of treasure is this, I'm afraid it's just a compass, right? Xu Jiaojiao was very skeptical.

Mr. Qi held the wooden block flat with both hands, and while walking around, he looked at the things in his hands, and at the same time kept nodding: "Well, good, good, well......"

Just when everyone was feeling a little bored, they suddenly heard a cat meow, and they saw not far away, Xiao Hei was like a bolt of lightning, rushing to a hollow, and then flew up, holding an old shadow in his mouth, which was still twisting and shaking......

This is...... Snakes?

Such a long snake?

Everyone was stunned, and so was Xu Jiaojiao, but she wasn't worried that Xiao Hei would be injured, no matter what kind of snake it was, as long as it didn't become a sperm, it shouldn't be Xiao Hei's opponent.

"Smack!"

A heavy sound came, and when everyone looked back, it turned out to be Mr. Qi, who slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted, "The earth dragon has appeared!" Old girl, this is really your family's luck! ”

Xu Zhang was puzzled: "Earth Dragon? ”

"The earth dragon is the nickname of the snake." Mr. Qi's face was full of excitement, "This place is the best place to build a house. Old woman, do you think, this is not going forward or backward, and the appearance of the earth dragon at this time is not a sign of good luck? Needless to say, this is providence! It should be your old Xu family prosperous! ”

Xu Jiaojiao: ...... Is that okay?

"Good, good!" Xu Zhang's family was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he only knew that he was good at it. She is also very satisfied with the place, which is just on the other side of the winery, close to the old house, good location.

"This is the foundation of the earth dragon, and if your house is built here, then it will be blessed and prolonged! Those who have a family will be promoted; Whoever has a business will be rich; Those who are engaged in agriculture must also have good weather and good harvests every year! I'm here to congratulate the old lady, this kind of treasure land, I haven't encountered it for many years! ”
