Chapter 6: Feng Shui

Su Rou’s child is a daughter. Since she spends most of her time in the baby room, we don’t get to see her very often, but that doesn’t diminish our love for her in the slightest. She’s a little chubby girl who was born weighing eight catties. Her skin is white and tender like Su Rou’s, and her eyes are big like Liu Chunyan’s. She’s a combination of her parents’ best traits, and she’s extremely cute.

Because I have things to do, I can’t stay here for long. I’ll be leaving in a week. The gift I left for my daughter was a piece of jade with a very good foundation that I had nurtured for many years. I just hope that the little one will be safe and healthy.

But a newborn baby is not suitable for wearing jade because its own aura has not yet formed, and although the positive aura of Lingyu is gentle, it is not something that a newborn baby can bear. A more suitable gemstone for a baby should be an organic gemstone.

At the airport, Su Rou and Qin Huai sent me off. Ru Yue was so fond of the little girl that she stayed at the hospital to keep Liu Chunyan company.

“Su Rou, after the child is three years old, it is best to give her the jade after she is five years old. Wrap it in red silk and store it in a box. It is best to store it in a room with good lighting. Do you understand?” Before getting on the plane, I told Su Rou.

“Okay, okay, you’ve said it eight hundred times.” Su Rou said, putting her arm around my shoulder.

Qinhuai was standing next to him, and he moaned again, “I want a son, I want a son…”

“Are you saying that you don’t like my daughter? You’re a son-preferring man!” Su Rou couldn’t take it anymore. He was sensitive as a new father.

“Come on, how could I dislike my goddaughter? You know my family’s situation. My grandfather is old-fashioned. Having a son is a one-time solution.” Qin Huai said with a shake of his head.

At this point, Su Rou was a little emotional and said to me and Qin Huai, “You know, my wife and I got married late. At the time, I was worried about her, thinking that after she turned thirty, it would be dangerous to have a baby, so I didn’t want to have a baby with her. But when my wife got pregnant by chance, my mood was… especially when I saw her belly getting bigger and bigger, and I was waiting for the baby to be born… I can’t describe it anyway. I just want to tell you two guys that you should have a baby.”

Qin Huai laughed and then held out his hand, saying, “In three years, in three more years, I’ll find a girl to have a child.”

I understood Qin Huai’s meaning. His family was under more pressure, and he was an only child. He could only wait for Ruoyue for three more years. If after three years, Ruoyue still had no result with him, he would not be able to afford it.

As for me, I simply remained silent. I had nothing to say.

Fortunately, these two men are my closest friends, so I didn’t have to explain anything. I simply changed the subject and covered up the whole thing.

The old lady’s family is from a county in Hunan, so it was impossible to fly there directly. When I arrived by bus, it was already late at night.

I didn’t rush to the address the old lady gave me, but instead found a small hotel to stay in. I wanted to do my best for the feng shui work, so I naturally had to walk around the county.

The next day, I got up early and started walking slowly around the county seat. This small town is called a county seat, but it still has a certain gap compared to some bustling county seats.

Many people have a misunderstanding about feng shui, thinking that the layout of the house and the furnishings inside the house are very important.

In fact, this view is wrong. The layout and furnishings of the house have a certain impact on feng shui, but this impact is actually not that great, because this is an internal bureau. What is an external bureau? It refers to the surrounding environment of the residence…

I am dedicated to creating a feng shui for the old lady’s family. The key is to be dedicated, even if I have to spend my own money, I will not hesitate to do so, only then can I fulfill the old lady’s wishes. Therefore, this is the first step I need to take to study the external situation.

Walking slowly through the small county town, I climbed to the top of the tallest building in the small county town to observe, and also climbed to the top of the small mountain behind the small county town to investigate it carefully. Only then did I slowly get a grasp of the situation.

The so-called feng shui is about hiding the wind, gathering the qi, and getting the water. Among them, getting the water is the best, and hiding the wind is the second best.

I was looking for the most suitable location. After observing the small county town for so long, I was surprised to find that the best location outside the small county town was not occupied by anyone. Later, I was relieved because it was far from the bustling location of the small county town, and it was simply the edge of the edge.

This discovery excited me, so I quickly ran to the location I liked and stood there, closing my eyes and lightly feeling the wind speed in the location I liked.

Wind-concealing refers to the flow of energy in a place, but too strong a wind is absolutely not acceptable, as it will disperse the positive energy that has gathered.

There must be a delicate balance between the gathering of qi and the preservation of qi. If qi is gathered without the circulation of air, the qi will dissipate because there is no replacement, and it will deteriorate! It is like a good piece of clothing that you wear on your body. When it gets dirty, you always need to wash it with water. The flow of qi can keep the gathered qi clean and pure.

This is the point where the qi is pure and focused.

If the flow of qi is too strong, the qi field cannot gather, and qi gathering is missing from the three qi (pure qi, specialized qi, and gathered qi).

The breeze is just right, I am very satisfied!

I was satisfied after lingering in this position and observing the undulating mountain range behind this position and the growth of vegetation! In fact, this is a simple observation of the pulse. I have learned some knowledge of Yang Zhai that is not too difficult. Such an observation is already sufficient. If my younger sister comes, she will inevitably have to use various tools. A compass is far from enough. My younger sister’s yellow cloth bag is full of tools. There are at least three types of rulers alone.

However, that has to do with the skill of locating acupuncture points. Yangzhai naturally does not need this, and Yinzhai is more particular than Yangzhai.

Putting aside my chaotic thoughts, I left here, thinking that this old lady must be a kind ghost, letting me do a feng shui bureau, and even letting me find such a good place, and moreover, it has not been occupied yet. This is not my blessing, but it should be the blessing that it accumulates for future generations.

Originally, I was prepared to only be able to do an internal bureau in the end, and if there were various kinds of evil spirits, I would have to find a way to dispel, block, and suppress them.

After observing the location, I naturally went to the door. The old lady’s descendants lived in the western part of the county. According to what the old lady told me, eight people lived in a three-story building.

It is not possible to have your own yard when living in the county seat, so this is a single-family house. When I walked up to the house, I was a little nervous, not knowing whether the old lady had actually appeared in a dream to her descendants. I didn’t want people to think I was a liar.

But this is a ghost market transaction, and I have to do it!

With a nervous heart, I knocked on the door of this house. Since it was dinner time, it didn’t take long before a middle-aged woman who looked quite kind opened the door for me. However, seeing a stranger standing outside the door, her expression naturally became suspicious.

“Who are you looking for?” the woman asked.

“Is Xiang Xiaohua here?” Xiang Xiaohua is the name of the old lady’s descendant, so I had to use it at this time.

“Xiang Xiaohua? You’re looking for my grandfather?” The woman’s face was full of disbelief.

I was sweating profusely. This old lady was too naughty, wasn’t she? She didn’t even tell me clearly that her descendant was already a great-grandfather, which meant that he should be the grandfather of the woman’s husband. I had even called him by his name, which was disrespectful.

As for the woman’s incomprehension, it can be understood. Her husband’s grandfather is at least 80 years old. Why would a young man go looking for an old man?

Although I was puzzled, perhaps I didn’t look like a villain, the woman said, “Wait a minute,” and then turned and went into the house. She didn’t let me in, but as long as you’re a normal person, who would let a stranger who met for the first time enter the house?

Standing outside the door, I waited for about five minutes. Then an old voice came from inside the house: “Who is it? Who is looking for me?” Then the door, which was ajar, opened again. I saw a middle-aged man and the woman from earlier helping an old man out.

The old man was in good spirits and his voice was full of energy, but when he saw me waiting outside the door, his face changed immediately. He pointed at me and said, “You… you… I’ve seen you before!”

He had seen me? I frowned slightly.

The old man actually broke free from the two people holding him and walked over to me, leaning on a walking stick. He looked at me for a long time before muttering, “Could it really be a dream? Is this really happening in this world?”
