155. Feng Shui
Sanzang drove the car to the edge of the courtyard where Master Lei lived, stopped the car and turned off the fire, then turned his head to Jingru and said, "Daughter-in-law, you take the children to sit in the car for a while, and I will come back in a while." ”
"Well, there you go!" After Sanzang finished speaking, he pushed open the door and got out of the car, closed the door casually, and straightened his clothes, Master Lei is an old-fashioned person, and he pays attention to these old rules.
Sanzang knocked on the door of the courtyard, a young man opened the door, looked his clothes up and down, especially the shiny leather shoes under his feet and looked at them twice, which were the crocodile leather shoes given to him by his sworn brother Lao Mu, and immediately greeted him respectfully: "Who are you looking for, distinguished guest?" ”
"Is Master Lei here?"
"In! You come with me! Sanzang followed the young man through the Hanging Flower Gate, and saw Master Lei standing in the middle of the courtyard playing Tai Chi.
"Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute! No one is allowed to disturb me when my master is practicing Tai Chi. Sanzang nodded when he heard this, and chatted with the young man casually,
"Your master's craftsmanship is so good! There must be a lot of people looking for you to work, right? The young man shook his head,
"We are engaged in the restoration and construction of ancient buildings, except for a big order last year, which has not yet been completed. This year, I only took a small quadrangle, and I didn't take any more serious work. Now that the work in hand is done, my master and the others may have to go to the suburbs and countryside to build houses for the peasant brothers, and they will starve to death just by sending work from above. Sanzang smiled after hearing this, this big list is his own, and the small courtyard is Lou Xiaochen's.
He also understood the reason for this, and now no one would spend money on them except for rich people like him who would spend a lot of money to renovate the courtyard houses.
The public does not have much money in its hands now, and can only maintain key cultural relics and monuments for the time being. It will take a decade or two for their business to flourish again.
Sanzang heard that they might go to the countryside to give a man-made house, and his uncle Qin Tiejun would definitely burn the bag and want to build a house when he got the dividends in his hands, and when the time came, he could introduce Master Lei to the past, and then he could also take advantage of the situation to build a villa or something.
"My master is done with Tai Chi! Please come with me! ”
"Hmm!" Sanzang followed the young man to a meeting room.
"Please sit down first, have a cup of tea, and my master will come over after changing his clothes."
"Good!" Sanzang couldn't help but sigh, there are so many old rules.
"Yo! The owner is here, forgive me for being slack, why didn't you tell me earlier? Master Lei saw that it was Sanzang, the big financier, and said to his apprentice with a little displeasure.
"This ......"
"Master Lei doesn't have to blame your apprentice, I didn't let him say it, the rules are the rules, and I have to abide by them."
"Alas! How can there be such a big rule now, only I am conformist, you go down first. ”
"Huh!"
"I don't know what the owner is looking for? Your work is not so fast to do well, slow work is our principle. ”
"I know, I'm not here for that, I recently bought a small car, and it doesn't feel safe to park outside. I wanted to open a gate in the side wall and park the car in the yard. I know that this big courtyard house pays attention to a layout, feng shui or something, and the door can't be opened casually, so I want to ask Master Lei to help me check and open this door. Master Lei nodded approvingly,
"You are a cultural person, fortunately, you didn't blindly open the door and destroy the feng shui. I've carefully observed your courtyard, and the feng shui is first-class! ”
"That's why I'm here to ask you Master Lei, I only trust your vision."
"Thank you for your trust, then I'll take a good look at it with you and calculate. How big is your door going to open? ”
"The car can be reversed in and out freely!"
"How wide is the car?"
"Hmm...... I've already driven over, so why don't you take a step and take a measurement? ”
"It's good!" Master Gu Xulei took his apprentice to measure the width of the car, and Sanzang arched his hand.
"Then I'll ask Master Lei for this matter, I still have something to do today, so I won't take you over. You will use the best materials for the materials and doors, and settle the bill together when the time comes. ”
"Understood! Boss, go ahead, I know your place, and I can get it for you tomorrow. ”
"That's great! Thank you for your trip, I'll go first. ”
"Boss, go slowly!" Master Lei watched Sanzang's car go away, picked up the carpentry pencil in his hand and gently knocked on the head of the apprentice.
"When the owner comes to me in the future, no matter what I'm doing, you have to inform me!"
"Master, isn't it just to open a door in the wall, as for it?"
"You monk! The big job we took was his, and the small courtyard house we took was also introduced by him, and there will be more work to introduce to us in the future! As soon as the Duke of Sanzang drove into Qinjia Village, the adults looked at it and talked about it, thinking that it was the leaders above who came to visit and inspect, so a striking boy ran to the house of Qin Sanbao, the village director, and reported to him.
Children can't manage so much, and they have never seen this kind of brand-new and high-end car, and they all follow behind to smell the exhaust fumes of the car.
Sanzang looked at it and shook his head, the gasoline at this time contained lead, so the exhaust smell of the emission was easy to be addictive, and he thought it was fragrant, he himself had a similar experience when he was a child.
Sanzang looked at the many children outside, and gradually slowed down the car, Jingru's highlight moment came, she rolled down the window glass, and said hello when she saw someone she knew outside.
The adults of Qinjia Village quickly recognized Jingru, and when they saw her sitting in the back of the car, wearing clothes that only the wives of large families could wear in the past, and she was dressed like a young grandmother wearing gold and silver, they were all speechless.
The women gathered around in twos and threes and talked about it, and they were very jealous.
"What kind of shit luck did this Qin Jingru take, she will enjoy a lifetime of happiness if she marries a good man, and now she is in a high-end car. She was about the same age as a few of us, and her face was still white and tender like a woman in her 20s. Alas! Look at a few of us, we've all become yellow-faced women! A man standing on the side laughed mockingly: "You guys don't pee on yourself, dare to compare with Qin Jingru, you were almost like this when you were young!" ”
"Li Ergouzi, you are damn bad, what is the matter with you here, believe it or not, the old lady tore your mouth?"
"Hey, hey! There is a kind of melon you show Lao Tzu! ”
"Phew! You're so beautiful! You deserve that you, a second-rate son, will never be able to marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of your life! ”
"I'm happy not to marry a daughter-in-law, one person can feed the whole family and not be hungry!"
"Sister-in-law! Let's ignore him! The more you talk about it, the more energetic he gets! Sanzang didn't know that the people in Qinjia Village were talking behind their backs, and he was afraid that the grain drying field where the Duke and King had parked outside would be accidentally scratched and the paint would be damaged, so he drove to the door of his father-in-law's house.
Qin Sanbao heard the report from the eye-catching boy, and thought that there was really a leader who came to visit and inspect, so he quickly changed into good clothes, trotted to the door of the house, and saw his little daughter and his aunt's family coming out of the car, he was surprised, walked up to Sanzang, and asked in disbelief: "Uncle!" Did you buy this car? Sanzang nodded,
"Yes! What's wrong? Qin Sanbao was overjoyed when he heard this, as if Xie Guangkun was possessed, and hurriedly ran to the onlookers.
"Kid! Child! Let's not touch it! This whole finger print is not easy to erase. I tell you, let's just look at it, not touch it! But you can talk about it. Do you hear that? Oh! This color is so beautiful! At this time, Qin Tiejun and Qin Yuru also ran over to see the excitement.
"Little Army! You're so good to come! Hurry up and go to the commissary at the entrance of the village to buy a firecracker! Let's let it go! "Today happens to be Sunday, and the factory is also on holiday, Qin Tiejun watched Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong take a few apprentices to maintain the machine in the factory, and Qin Yuru was carefully checking the account books.
At this time, someone came to tell Qin Tiejun that his little brother-in-law drove a car to his house, and he knew that the universal festival was sold for a lot of money in Dongwei, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran home with his sister Yuru to see the excitement.
When Liu Haizhong heard that Sanzang had bought a car, his heart suddenly itched.
"Lao Yi, if you don't keep an eye here, I'll go and see the excitement!" Yi Zhonghai shook his head, looking well-informed,
"Okay, there you go! It's not like you've never seen a car. ”
"I haven't really seen this private person buy it."
