Chapter 59: Lost Luck
Tang Chen didn't answer, but asked slowly: "Is the Taigong pork in Qingkeng Village divided according to the head?"
Zhang Yuanfu didn't expect Tang Chen to talk about anything else, and slowly sat down and said, "Master Tang, what do you want to say?"
"It's nothing, just ask a few random questions. If Boss Zhang feels embarrassed, he can not answer. Tang Chen calmly picked up a quicksand bag, tore open the paper under the bun, and ate it: "Well, it's good, it's not bad......
Wang Dongxu saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and said for Zhang Yuanfu: "Yes, in the rural areas of Nanhai City, most of the pork is divided according to the head. ”
The so-called "too centimeter pork" is divided according to the head, which also refers to men, and women have no share. After the birth of a boy in the village, a lantern should be hung in the ancestral house during the Lantern Festival of the New Year, and the name of the boy is written on the lantern to comfort the ancestors and ancestors. This boy who has hung the lamp is considered "Ding", and after the patriarch wrote the name of this child into the family tree, he is a member of this clan. When the money and pork are distributed during the New Year's holidays, they are distributed according to the males in the genealogy. If the whole family is female, then there is none.
Later, the "Tai Gong Pork" gradually became an ancestor worship ceremony held in the ancestral hall during the Qingming Festival and the Double Ninth Festival (the so-called Spring and Autumn Festival), after which the pork was distributed to the elderly (men) and baby boys by the respected people in the village. Of course, with the development of the times, it is now true that the ancestors in the countryside are divided into pork, regardless of men and women.
"That's it. Tang Chen confirmed his guess, and then said slowly: "I won't tell you, I watched the news on my mobile phone last night, and found that the economy of Malay has not been very good in the past two years, and then I thought that Boss Zhang is also a big boss in Malay, so I think that Boss Zhang's return to his hometown this time is not simply to find an ancestral house, but to find a feng shui problem, right?"
Wang Dongxu was a little puzzled and said, "Master Tang, where did you get this news from? I remember that the economy of Malay is developing very well?"
Tang Chen smiled slightly and said, "Whether it's good or bad, only Boss Zhang himself knows best, right?"
Zhang Yuanfu was silent, and the atmosphere in the box suddenly cooled down.
Tang Chen didn't seem to feel the same, and still ate refreshments by himself.
After a long time, Zhang Yuanfu opened his mouth and said: "Sure enough, you can't say secret words in front of the Ming people, what Master Tang said is as straightforward as seeing it in person." ”
This sentence indirectly shows that Malay is indeed encountering economic problems, and even the wealthy Zhang Yuanfu can't avoid it.
Wang Dongxu was stunned and muttered, "No, isn't it...... TV stations also lie?"
"No, it's just that the Malays don't want to admit it. Zhang Yuanfu shook his head, sighed and said: "In addition to the factors of the sharp drop in international oil prices, the sharp depreciation of the currency and the introduction of goods and services tax have made the GDP growth rate of Malay's GDP in the past two years less than 5%. The continued weakening of the Malaysian currency, domestic uncertainty and lower LNG prices have further weakened energy investment in Malaysia, resulting in a reduction in government spending and a very negative impact on domestic demand......
With Zhang Yuanfu's eloquence, Wang Dongxu realized that Zhang Yuanfu, who seemed to be beautiful, actually didn't know how much debt he was carrying.
If the funds are not transferred, most of his assets will be confiscated by the bank.
No wonder Zhang Yuanfu went to the doctor for illness and went to Qingkeng Village to find feng shui problems, and the reason is here.
Zhang Yuanfu said seriously: "Master Tang, since you can see the problem, you may rescue me?"
"No, you can't. Tang Chen shook his head and said with certainty.
Zhang Yuanfu was disappointed, slumped in his chair, and asked, "Why?"
"Although we believe in Feng Shui, we have never felt that Feng Shui is everything. In fact, in our opinion, Feng Shui is only an auxiliary means. The so-called way of heaven has more than enough to make up for the deficiency, and because of its own shortcomings, it needs to be made up. Tang Chen said slowly, "One life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue and five reading, if you want to change a person, it depends on his fate, feng shui, accumulation of yin virtue and reading, are just auxiliary means." Time, luck, and fate, Boss Zhang should also know this, right?"
Zhang Yuanfu muttered, "Is there really no way?"
"Qingkeng Village has lost its luck, it was born to become a three-yuan treasure land, the people in the village don't know how to cherish it, without the blessing of incense, the luck of the two yuan is barely supported. Now, the dragon vein has been transferred, and the feng shui treasure of the Land Temple has been completely lost. As for why there is no blessing of the power of incense, I'm afraid Boss Zhang himself knows it, right? Even the annual Tai Centimeter pork, not many people make up money, let alone go to worship the Land Temple on weekdays. Tang Chen said unhurriedly.
Wang Dongxu said puzzledly: "This ...... It's not right, Boss Zhang is no longer in Qingkeng Village, how can the feng shui in the village still take care of him? This doesn't make sense in feng shui!"
"Indeed, if the ancestral house is not inhabited, there is no way to affect people. But there are exceptions, such as in the ancestral house, there are also ancestral spirit tablets......" Tang Chen said with a smile.
Wang Dongxu also came to his senses: "What does Master Tang mean is that the Land Temple is the original site of Boss Zhang's ancestral house?"
Tang Chen shook his head and said, "Impossible. Although the Land Temple was built before liberation, Boss Zhang's ancestral house has long existed, where will it be Boss Zhang's ancestral house?"
Zhang Yuanfu had already raised a glimmer of hope, but when he heard Tang Chen say this, he fell into despair again: "Is there really no way?"
"There is a way, but I want to know, what does Boss Zhang's ancestor do?"
When Tang Chen said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhang Yuanfu.
Zhang Yuanfu was stunned: "This is very important?"
"Very important!" Tang Chen said categorically.
Zhang Yuanfu opened his mouth, and only said after a while: "Okay, it's okay to tell you, my grandfather, my father, are all carpenters, and the craftsmanship of the family is ......."
Wang Dongxu was stunned: "This ...... Why have you never heard of Boss Zhang?"
Zhang Yuanfu smiled bitterly: "Do you think that in the old society, carpenters were very popular?" This sentence is true, for a long time in China, craftsmen were not welcomed. Even in the Ming Dynasty, it was necessary to be a carpenter, Lao Tzu was a carpenter, his son was a carpenter, and his grandson was also a carpenter. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, believed that as long as everyone abides by their profession, there will be no chaos in the world.
Things are obviously not what Zhu Yuanzhang thought, because of the growth of population and the lack of food, the world is still in chaos. Later, in the Qing Dynasty, the craftsman registration system was abolished. But under the influence of concepts, a technique of begging for a life is "passing on men but not women", even if they accept apprentices, they must serve the master until they are old.
Coupled with the social atmosphere, the artisan has always been not very treated, and it is considered a lowly status. Although it was the ranking of "Shinong Industry and Commerce" in ancient times, craftsmen were the most discriminated against and bullied, and businessmen had to step on it, let alone those who had land and land.
