Chapter 12
"Blast!"
Lu Chen softly uttered three words in his mouth, and then continued: "Those who live in the wind are inauspicious. The wind is strong and the Qi does not gather. Birds cannot build nests and people cannot live there. Even if we put aside Feng Shui itself,
The strong wind itself is bad for people. According to Feng Shui, the strong wind neither hides the wind nor gathers Qi. Even if the house's Feng Shui is good, it will be blown away by the strong wind."
"As the saying goes, 'A strong wind sweeps a house, and the family's fortune is ruined.' That's the truth."
"Family and financial ruin? Is it so serious?"
Ye Qingling frowned deeper and deeper. She was not sure whether what Lu Chen said was true or false, but she would rather believe it than not. However, she still had a doubt in her heart, so she asked aloud: "Lu Chen, what about that?"
Mr. Jiang is a disciple of the famous Master Su, why didn’t he see these things?”
"If he hadn't noticed it, it could still be said that he was not good at learning, but if he had noticed it earlier..."
At this point, Lu Chen paused slightly and sneered: "That's just harboring evil intentions and deliberately trying to harm the Ye family."
"this……"
Ye Qingling's expression changed slightly when he heard this. After hesitating again, he asked: "Then do you have any method to resolve the evil spirit of the wind? I remember that there are many ways to resolve the evil spirit in Feng Shui."
"Generally speaking, there are two ways to resolve evil spirits."
Lu Chen smiled slightly and said: "A method called 'suppression method' uses special magical tools, such as talismans, peach trees, Taishan stone gandang, etc., to suppress the evil spirit with their special aura, and slowly
The other method is to 'change the law', which is to fundamentally remove the source of evil spirits by changing the terrain, buildings, etc."
"However, now that the renovation project of the old house has been completed, it is obviously very unrealistic to use 'modification' to remove the evil spirit. Therefore, the only way now is to use the 'suppressing method' to slowly dissolve the evil spirit, but this is also
It’s not something that happens overnight.”
Just when Ye Qingling was about to continue asking, her sister Ye Qingyun walked over through the Moon Gate and said expressionlessly: "Sister, grandpa is going to host the ceremony today and wants us all to go over and give some instructions."
After speaking, Ye Qingyun turned around and left without even looking at Lu Chen from beginning to end.
"We'd better go there first, and I'll tell you the solution when I have time."
Lu Chen didn't go back to vent his anger with a little girl. Now he wanted to see if Jiang Fengxiao was not good at studying or was harboring evil intentions.
Ye Qingling had no choice but to nod and went to the main hall of the old house with Lu Chen.
Mr. Ye called everyone over. Actually, it was nothing serious. It was just that when he looked at the old house that had been restored to its original state, he was filled with emotions for a while, so he called everyone here to recall the past.
From the time when the old man and his grandfather moved to Beihai, to saving money to buy an old house, and then to struggling all the way to this day. The younger generations of the Ye family have heard this series of stories countless times, and each one of them was in a state of fainting.
Although he was drowsy, Lu Chen was the only one who heard it for the first time and still enjoyed it.
The old man's lecture lasted from afternoon to evening. After everyone had finished dinner, the highlight of the night, the beam-laying ceremony, was ready to begin.
Lifting beams is the most important part of building a house. The time will be chosen to be "full moon" or "high tide" to symbolize family reunion and money coming in like a tide.
Tonight happened to be the full moon, and Mr. Ye couldn't wait to prepare for the beam-laying ceremony. Everyone in the Ye family also divided their work and went out to buy various supplies for worshiping the gods.
Before the beam is put on the beam, sacrifices must be made to the gods. The sacrifices include "whole pig", which means a pig head and a pig tail, which means the whole pig, commonly known as "profit". In addition, fish, geese, tofu, eggs are also used.
, five or seven colors of salt and soy sauce, on a wooden red lacquered sacrificial plate, placed on the top of the altar table, along with twenty-four bowls of other dishes and twelve pots of fruits from the north and south.
At the same time, congratulatory couplets such as "The beam meets the zodiac day by chance, and the column meets the purple star by chance" must be used. Yellow or green paper must be used, and red paper must not be used. Red silk must be hung at both ends of the main beam, and the red silk hangs down.
A copper coin from Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, which means "peace and harmony".
After preparing this whole set, everyone is quite busy.
After everything was ready, the expressionless Jiang Fengxiao appeared in front of everyone again. He took a pen and paper, and after asking the birth dates of everyone present, he began to calculate the birth dates. According to traditional customs, the day of the beam ceremony
It cannot conflict with anyone in the homeowner's family, otherwise it will have adverse effects. In addition, if other people's zodiac signs conflict or inhibit the time of ascending the beam, they should also be avoided.
According to the previous communication and arrangement between Mr. Ye and Jiang Fengxiao, tonight's beam-laying ceremony must be completed in full without missing a step.
The group of carpenters who were responsible for repairing the old house had to get together and began to recite the steps and lines that Jiang Fengxiao had told them before. If it were another family, I am afraid they would not have so much patience to memorize things here.
, but who asked the old man to spend lavishly? For the sake of money, everyone had to endure it.
At midnight, the bright moon is full, which is the time to go to the Liang Dynasty.
According to Jiang Fengxiao's previous instructions, the carpenters completed the ceremony of sacrificing the beam, placing the beam, and throwing the beam step by step. At the end, it was time to post the congratulatory message.
This congratulatory message was written by the old man himself. It was written on a piece of red paper with eight big characters: "The Grand Duke is here, the gods abdicate." It was to be pasted under the main beam by a master carpenter.
Master Zhang has been a carpenter for fifty years. Compared with other young people, he has long been familiar with this type of beam-laying ceremony. He respectfully accepted the congratulatory message from the old man and asked his young apprentices to
A brand new wooden ladder was brought in.
Lu Chen stood with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. When he saw Master Zhang preparing to climb the ladder, he couldn't help but frown slightly and secretly cursed: "It seems that Jiang Fengxiao is completely incompetent in his studies and did not notice the existence of the wind evil.
"
"What Shang Liang wants is for the peace of the family and the surrounding environment, and for the prosperity of the people, and for the benefit of the people. However, this strong wind will destroy the family and wealth. The two are bound to conflict, so it is strange that this congratulatory message can be posted!"
Master Zhang asked his apprentices to hold up the wooden ladder, and then he climbed up step by step holding a red paper with congratulatory messages. Not long after, he had climbed to the top of the wooden ladder, found the paste side of the red paper, and prepared to stick it on
Below the pillars and beams.
"I hope that the descendants of my Ye family will be rich and healthy..."
Mr. Ye's face was full of smiles. Although he didn't like his daughter's decision, he had to say that his daughter's actions met his wishes. Since he moved out of the old house due to the earthquake, he wanted to renovate the old house.
, moved back again, but he has never found a suitable Feng Shui master. Either he doesn't like it, or he can't hire one.
