18. The design of Taoist temples

After Li Changsong and Yunxi got married, every once in a while, he would ask his aunt to send some small gifts, or fresh and delicious food, or fashionable jewelry, or broken branches and flowers, although they are not valuable, but they are also a heart.

The man has a heart, and Yunxi also has an intention, and there are always return gifts, mostly sachets and snacks and pastries made by themselves, back and forth, although the two have not met, they also feel a lot closer.

Yunxi is a person who treats her well, she can't wait to get back three points, so she is more attentive to Li Changsong, not only made him a lot of clothes, shoes and socks, but also made several sets of his uncle and aunt's, judging from Li Changsong's more diligent gifts, he should be very satisfied with this, and every time Aunt Li sees Yunxi now, the smile on her face never stops, and her mouth is full of praise.

Seeing that Yunxi gets along well with Aunt Li, and her relationship with Li Changsong is getting better, if she is sure that she can handle her own affairs well, Yunqing will not talk much, let alone criticize her life, and go to her own business.

In Yunqing's planning, after Yunxi gets married, she will also move out of this house, so the top priority is to build her own residence, but Yunqing has a lot of ideas, but she has not specifically learned to build, and wants to design a manor that perfectly meets the requirements, she doesn't seem to be able to rely on herself, fortunately, one of Yunqing's advantages is that she doesn't know how to pretend to understand, she can't do it herself, just find a professional person, there is no need to fight here.

The eldest son of the neighbor's family is on an errand in the government, although he is not an official but an official, but he is also a well-connected figure, and he is familiar with people everywhere, Yunqing went to him to inquire, where there are people who are good at design and construction, he doesn't have to think about it, so he put forward a person, pointed to the north and said: "From the locust tree lane two streets in the past two streets of our people, there is an old Confucian student, there is an old Confucian student, there are more than 60 this year, he didn't love the Four Books and Five Classics when he was young, he likes to design what garden houses, and the academy next to us is designed by him, I heard that several wealthy businessmen asked him to design a garden for his family, and if the Taoist chief wanted to repair the garden, he would be right. ”

"Then I don't know if this old gentleman is good or not? What kind of gifts do I need to prepare? ”

"Haha, he likes to do this, as long as he has time, whoever invites him is happy, but he charges a little expensive, so ordinary people rarely look for him, but I think the Taoist is not short of money, and his skills are really good, so I will recommend him."

In this way, Yun Qing has a number in his heart, thanks to the big brother next door, Yun Qing went back and prepared silver to invite the Confucian student, sure enough, as soon as he heard Yun Qing's intention, his face was a little happy, and the cost was not expensive, so he immediately agreed, without saying a word, he was going to go on a field trip, ready to design a beautiful garden for Yun Qing.

Yun Qing hurriedly stopped the old gentleman and asked him first: "Don't worry, I have some requirements here, you can listen to it first, can you add it to your design......"

The old gentleman was a little upset and interrupted her, "No! I haven't heard of any tricky and weird requests, you just mention it, I'm sure it's all done for you, if you can't even do it, you can't find a second person in the entire Hangzhou Mansion! ”

Yun Qing was helpless, okay, it is appropriate for people with real materials to have some tempers, since the old gentleman is so confident and does not object to other people's requests, she has nothing to worry about, seeing that it is not early, she made an appointment with the old gentleman to pick him up tomorrow, and then said goodbye and left.

After leaving the old gentleman's house, thinking that he was also old, he turned around and went to the carriage and horse shop to rent two carriages, and by the way, he invited two chauffeurs, and then turned around and went home.

Early the next morning, the driver arrived at her door on time, Yunqing and Yunxi had breakfast, brought some pastries and tea, picked up the old gentleman, and the two came to Yunqing's small Zhuangzi.

Now it is not long after the beginning of spring, there are many people working in Zhuangzi, all of them are hired by Yunqing, there are people planting trees on the hill, and there are people planting rice in the fields, although they look desolate, but they are very popular.

Yunqing's planned residential location is under the hill, the front is a wide and flat field, next to the pond, can be said to be by the mountains and rivers, is a Tibetan wind and good luck, pointed to the old gentleman to see, the old gentleman praised: "sit in the sky, wealth and prosperity, good location and good pattern, the original Taoist is a school of physiognomy, this place is very good!" ”

Yun Qing smiled and said nothing.

She didn't just learn physiognomy, she learned all the life of the mountain doctor!

Why does she keep calling the old Taoist priests who adopted her? It's not because the master has too many apprentices, only one, who to worship as a teacher, everyone else doesn't agree, after a few years of fighting, they didn't quarrel with a result, and finally they simply didn't accept apprentices.

Yun Qing also suggested that if she didn't work, she could worship a few more masters, but the old-timers disagreed, saying that at their age, many things had already been looked down on, and she could be taught without the status of master and apprentice, but their cultivators, the regular apprenticeship is to repay heaven and earth, the more masters, the greater the constraints on her, they are all old, there is no need to add cause and effect to her, and in the end it became like this, she learned everything, but she didn't even have a serious master.

At first, Yun Qing didn't quite understand what her predecessors meant, but when she was officially introduced to cultivation and had a sense of the heavenly machine, she understood the thoughtfulness of her predecessors, and at that time, the seniors had already ascended to heaven, and she didn't have a chance to express her gratitude, which was also a small regret for her.

"I didn't expect the old gentleman to study the I Ching Zhou Yi, and he is really a master, so it's really right to invite you to come." Yun Qing smiled and complimented.

The old gentleman didn't care, and said: "If you don't know some feng shui knowledge for designing houses and gardens for others, and make a bad situation, wouldn't it be a trick?" So I've studied these specifically, and that's pretty basic. ”

Yun Qing was in awe.

This old gentleman is really serious and responsible, it stands to reason that he only needs to take care of the design drawings, as for whether there is anything wrong with the house and the house, what does it have to do with him? He can take the initiative to consider for others, and study specifically for this, which can be called a benevolent house, no wonder the fee is high, and now Yunqing feels that it is really right to invite him, and it is still worth the money.

The old gentleman is a neat and neat person, sighed a few words and began to do business, asked Yunqing what requirements he had, what specifications he wanted to build a manor, Yunqing said: "My plan is to build a Taoist temple, not too big, the main hall can be three, the backyard is the main house and the wing room, you can invite a few Taoist friends to live in the future, next to the Taoist temple, build a two-entry house, is my living place, the back cover room of the Taoist temple and my residence, the bathroom must be built indoors, I have a sketch of the bathroom, Mr. can be used as a reference, oh, our courtyard must be drilled well, And build a laundry trough next to the well, these are the houses, and then you can build a garden on this piece of land, as for how the garden should be designed, please give free rein to the gentleman! ”
