My hometown is a small medium-sized city, since ancient times known as the capital of colored porcelain, the land of swords, the hometown of Ganoderma lucidum and other high-sounding titles, and later with the transformation of the economic system, people's horizons are broadened, a lot of old businesses have been abandoned by contemporary people, so some of the above titles are not worthy of the name now, those names are just some thoughts. In recent years, as the antique market has become more and more hot, the number of Tibetan sword lovers has increased, and the city has become lively again.

On Suburban South Road, I walked into an empty farmland with a slightly chubby middle-aged man and looked around.

"Xiao Long, here is the Xiangcheng Garden planning site, a total of 3,000 acres, the future will be built by the Yuanda Group, this time the Yuanda Group publicly bid for the planning and design of the Xiangcheng Garden, the company attaches great importance to this bidding, although you are still in the internship period, but I can see that you are more capable than the company's old fritters." The middle-aged man spread out a drawing and compared it to the scene.

My name is Xiao Long, yes ** (the name of the university is better not to disclose, in case there is a suspicion of advertising) undergraduate graduates of the Department of Architecture of the university, just graduated from school, working in a city called Shuguang Construction Planning Company, the middle-aged man is the manager of my company, called Huang Yuan, quite capable, he is responsible for training and guiding me, after two months, Huang Yuan found that my work is still very hard, and the work is very beautiful, so I am also quite important.

I pulled out a design and looked at the green farmland, the sun shining on my clean face, full of desire to succeed.

"Manager Huang, according to the requirements of Shuguang Group, our design drawings have been completed, all departments have checked and verified, and in three days, it is time to participate in the bidding, you say, will our company succeed?"

"Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the rest depends on God's will, after all, we are a small company, and there is still a certain gap with other planning companies," Huang Yuan lit a cigarette, "If this bid is successful, it is time for me, the little manager, to be promoted, and when the time comes, I will let Mr. Zhang hint that you will take over my current job." ”

"Manager Huang, you are too polite, during this time, thanks to your guidance and following you, I have learned a lot of useful knowledge."

I took the drawings casually, walked in the farmland, walked for a while, I frowned, not far in front, there was a dilapidated stone house, which made me a little curious, so I walked in.

This is a stone house of less than five square meters, the wall has been cracked, the roof has been open-air, there is more than one meter high and covered with moss worship platform against the wall, on the worship platform, there is a stone sculpture that has been weathered by the years, the left arm of the stone carving is gone, the right hand is raised high, the thumb is pinched between the middle fingers, a broken red cloth has been blackened, and it falls on the worship platform.

At the thought that this ancient house was about to be flattened by bulldozers, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, picked up the red cloth from the altar, and hung it on the statue's right arm.

As soon as the red cloth was hung on my side, a stone suddenly fell from the middle of the statue's raised fingers and smashed it on my forehead impartially.

"Hey, Xiao Long, why did you get in, this is a dangerous room, it may fall down at any time." Huang Yuan rushed in and pulled me out, but the two of us didn't notice that the stone that had hit my forehead had disappeared after falling to the ground.

"I'm just curious...... Why didn't we mention that there was an old house here when we had a meeting, and we completely ignored it when we designed the drawings? ”

With a rigorous attitude, I looked at the drawings again, touched my forehead, and couldn't help but feel sleepy, and my brain seemed to have a lot of inexplicable information:

"Yin and yang give birth to all things, qi becomes a situation, mountains, rivers, plants and trees have their own shapes, Tibetan wind gathers water, water moves wind and water, wind and water rise, it is called feng shui."

"Xi Yao takes people to form, Shun takes people to color, Yu takes people to words, it is called the face, the face is the basis of numerology, and the hole is like a mystery."

"This collection of Yin and Yang Xuanmen, called "Xiangxing Feng Shui Sutra", passed on to future generations ......"

I opened my eyes blankly, as if it had just been a dream.

"It's just an abandoned pile of rubble, which doesn't affect the design of our drawings at all, and when the time comes, the bulldozer will be done." Huang Yuan smiled and disagreed, "Xiao Long, I have been working overtime for a week, I can finally take a break today, I'll take you to relax and relax, street stalls, mutton skewers, braised egg noodles, whatever you choose, I'll treat you today." ”

"No, manager, I think it's better for us to be cautious" I immediately squatted down, spread out the design drawings, and looked at the drawings that took nearly a month to design, and my brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

"What's wrong, Xiao Long?" Huang Yuan also squatted down, looking at the drawings that had been painstakingly designed, and did not see anything wrong.

"Our design drawing, I'm afraid it will take a major repair," I raised a hand and put it on my forehead, and a text message came from my brain, which had a lot to do with the building in front of me, and couldn't help but say, "Manager, you see, this is the center of the twin buildings we designed, sitting north to south, forming the shape of holding the moon, originally there was the meaning of the stars gathering the moon and wealth, but the entrance of our design is open to two by two, narrow and long, like a knife to split the moon in half, this is 'dragon slashing', the house of the great murderer, feng shui is unfavorable." ”

"Xiao Long, if you want to talk about picking up leaks, then I am a master, but this feng shui, I am a layman, and the feng shui company spent tens of thousands of yuan to invite the feng shui master Gong Tiandao to see it before the design, if you want me to say, it is a waste of money." Huang Yuan didn't think so, but saw that I picked up the pen and drew a stroke on the left and right on the designed drawings, changing the direction of the door, the distance of the building, and adding a rainbow bridge between the two twin buildings.

"Hey, Xiao Long, do you know how much investment you need to increase if you change it at will, why does Yuanda Group want to open the bidding design drawings, I'm afraid it is also to save costs, oops, don't change it, from morning to afternoon, I ate a bowl of instant noodles, I am almost starving." Huang Yuan touched his stomach, but his eyes were staring at what I was changing with a pen on the design drawing, and he had no choice but to let me toss for half an hour.

"Hehe, as long as you make these changes, not only can you get rid of the 'Dragon Slash', but you can also design this Xiangcheng Flower Garden into a starry moon, and it is difficult not to win the bid." I put the pen away, stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief, turned my face sideways, but saw Huang Yuan looking at me with a puzzled gaze.

"Xiao Long, you're not sick, are you?" Huang Yuan touched my forehead with his hand, "What kind of dragon slash, the stars hugging the moon, you know feng shui?" ”

I also touched my forehead, rolled up the design and put it away, and an imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of my mouth, "I don't understand, but I think it will be better to design it like this, Manager Huang, let you wait longer, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

Huang Yuan shook his head helplessly, rode the electric with me, and said, "You kid, it's good to have ideas, but it's too late to change the design drawings now." ”

The two rode an electric car to a restaurant in the old neighborhood of Nanchi and sat down, ordered three home-cooked dishes, a bottle of liquor of 20 yuan, and drank it.

At the dinner table, I didn't forget to look at the design drawings a few more times, Huang Yuan couldn't help but say: "Xiao Long, in fact, with your talent, you can enter a large company, even if it is a broad group, you also have the opportunity to enter, our company is too small, the salary is also low, a few days ago you sent half of the internship salary of 3,000 yuan to your home, the rent is removed from 500, and there is only 1,000 left. ”

"Try your luck, Brother Huang, you're not going to gamble, are you?" I turned my head to look around at the teahouses, and my back was cold.

"What do you kid think?" Huang Yuan smiled mysteriously and locked the car, "After eating, it's time to eat fairy gall." ”

"Eat fairy gall?" I was stunned for a moment.

Huang Yuan took out a black copper coin from his pocket and threw it into the air, "Haven't you heard of eating fairy gall?" You always know what to do. ”

"Uh, I know." As soon as I heard this, I became interested, and the two of them came to an antique street in Zhugan Lane.

Speaking of which, tinkering with antiques, copper coins, and swords, is Huang Yuan's greatest interest, according to him, if he didn't have the capital, he wouldn't have done the architectural design business, and he would have done this lucrative business.

"Let me tell you, a few days ago, I picked up a bronze sword by the river, it was not in good condition, and it was sold to the boss of Tianyuanzhai for 5,000 yuan, and guess what?" The two of us looked at the stalls with strange things, and Huang Yuan bragged about the antique business.

"Sold at a loss." I stopped in front of a stall, picked up an ancient sword with mud and rust sticking to it, looked at it, and shook my head.

"How do you know!" Huang Yuanyi clapped his hands, "Mom, I watched a treasure appreciation show yesterday, and it was that bronze sword, worth 500,000!" You say I'm blind. ”

Huang Yuan sighed, patted me on the shoulder, and lowered his voice, "There's nothing to look at here, it's all some outside stalls, specializing in outsiders, you see this sword, it's all made of molds and rusted out of rust in the rust pile." ”

Huang Yuan looked like he was well versed in the doorway, and took me around the bends and came to an alley in the antique street, where there were many people sitting against the wall, and they did not set up stalls, but put their bags behind them, and when they saw people passing by, they asked in a low voice about something.

"Two little brothers, there are new goods, do you want to take a look?" A thin man noticed my gaze with curiosity, and immediately spread out the package, revealing the contents inside.

"Did you get it from prying?" Huang Yuan squatted down casually and squinted at the man.

The man coughed, picked up the package, took a new bag from behind him, spread it out with a cloth, put out the contents of it, and said with a dry smile: "It turned out to be an acquaintance who hit the ground, I took the wrong one just now." ”

Huang Yuan didn't care, rummaged through the things that the man put out, and whispered to me, who was also full of curiosity and looking at the antiques: "The people here are doing two businesses, like seeing newcomers like you, they will take out specially made old things to fool you, if they are antique regulars like me, they have to take the unknown antiques obtained by digging graves or prying the soil, but these will also be mixed with fakes." ”
