Liao Qing was overjoyed when she saw that Xu Jiaojiao had no intention of pulling away. He grabbed her soft little hand and rubbed it twice slowly...

"Does it feel okay?" Xu Jiaojiao suddenly asked.

"Okay! That's great, uh..."

"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao..." Xu Zhang's shout came from outside, and Liao Qing quickly let go of her little hand.

"Let me tell you something." Mrs. Xu Zhang opened the half-open door and did not say hello to Liao Qing. Anyway, she had already assumed that he was a member of the Xu family. "The day for building the house has been decided. I was thinking that it will be done tomorrow.

Ask a Feng Shui master to come and see where it is suitable to build it?"

"Okay, mother." Xu Jiaojiao nodded.

"Well, I originally thought about asking the abbot of the Empress Temple to take a look at it, but who knows what the master said? Monks don't understand Feng Shui. I really don't know what's wrong with this." Mrs. Xu Zhang babbled.

.

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "The master is right. A real monk cannot read Feng Shui. Even if he understands it, he cannot read it."

Xu Zhang was just talking casually, but when Xu Jiaojiao said this, she was stunned, "Then why?"

"You think about it, what do monks do? They just persuade people to believe in Buddha and Bodhisattva. But Feng Shui is about changing destiny. If this destiny can be changed, then why do you still believe in his Buddha?

Ah? These two things are completely unrelated, so naturally monks cannot read Feng Shui. Not only Feng Shui, but also fortune telling and hexagram interpretation. No serious monk can do it."

If you have to be a monk, then apart from the fact that it is difficult to reject the favor, it can only be said that you particularly like something.

"Oh, my old lady knows so much!" Mrs. Xu Zhang was surprised for a moment, "This really makes sense. It's like that, and my mother understands it."

Liao Qing was also surprised on the sidelines. Wasn't his wife putting a lot of pressure on him?

Mrs. Xu Zhang chatted for a few words in the room, then left in a hurry and asked Mr. Feng Shui to go.

The date was set and time was tight. Xu Jiaojiao discussed the purchase of materials with Liao Qing again.

Building a house is a big deal and requires a lot of materials. It is unrealistic to purchase all the materials needed such as foundations, columns, beams, brackets, and rafters at once.

First get a general idea, such as where to buy which materials, and which ones you can make by yourself, sort it out first.

Ordinary people, when doing things, they pursue two words: cost-effective.

Xu Jiaojiao knew the Buddha's tricks, but she didn't understand how to build a house here. The main reason was that Liao Qing said that she listened.

The first thing to do is, of course, to lay the foundation.

The foundation here generally uses large pieces of bluestone from nearby Laoye Mountain as load-bearing. However, it has a disadvantage. If it is eroded by rain or groundwater for a long time, it may partially collapse and cause wall cracks. Because it is close to the Qingshui River,

This situation is not uncommon.

If you want to build a more stable foundation, it is best to use rammed earth as the foundation, which is formed by mixing red mud, coarse sand, lime and water and then pressing it with gravity. Don't underestimate rammed earth, even though it has the word "earth"

, but it is a material that is stronger than cement. Most of these materials can be found by the Qingshui River or in the mountains, and they do not cost much.

Xu Jiaojiao only knew that there was such a material. Now that she heard Liao Qing talk about it, she immediately thought about it and decided to use this method to lay the foundation. Anyway, labor here is cheap.

While laying the foundation, you also need to buy green bricks for the wall. While building the wall, you need to buy tiles, etc. Discuss the entry time and order one by one.

***

A tall and thin middle-aged man with a short beard, wearing an old gray robe, holding a bell in one hand and a box in the other, was invited home by Mrs. Xu Zhang.

This is Mr. Feng Shui.

After a meal, a large group of people walked out of the yard and came to the ashram.

"This place belongs to my Xu family." Mrs. Xu Zhang roughly pulled it with her hand, "This time Mr. Lao will help us find a happy place to come out."

Although Li Zheng agreed that their new house could be built anywhere, the Xu family still wanted to be closer to the old house, which would be more convenient.

Everyone looked at this Feng Shui master.

"Dang Dang Dang..." Mr. Feng Shui shook the bell, hummed, looked around, and said: "Old aunt, please don't worry, I have traveled all over the country and seen countless good Feng Shui, and I will definitely choose a treasure place for you.

."

This Mr. Qi looked here, walked a few steps and looked again, and kept saying: "This place is good, everything is good...Old aunt, you have a good place here, but if you want to find the best treasure, you can't find it."

Easy. But don’t worry, Qi has a magic weapon with him this time, and with the help of this treasure, this matter is not a problem."

After saying that, Mr. Qi opened the box in his hand and took out something.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at it and saw that it was about a rectangular wooden block with many bars and scales engraved on it, similar to Bagua. There was also a groove in the middle of the wooden block, and there was a short stick-like thing inside that was shaking slightly...

What kind of treasure is this? Is it just a compass? Xu Jiaojiao was very suspicious.

Mr. Qi held the block of wood flat with both hands and walked around, looking at the things in his hands while nodding his head: "Well, okay, okay, um..."

Just when everyone was feeling a little bored, they suddenly heard a cat meow, and not far away, Xiao Hei was like a bolt of lightning, rushing to a depression, and then flew up with a long shadow in his mouth.

, this shadow is still twisting and shaking...

Is this...a snake?

Such a long snake?

Everyone was shocked, including Xu Jiaojiao, but she was not worried that Xiao Hei would be injured. No matter what kind of snake, as long as it had not become a spirit, it should not be Xiao Hei's opponent.

"Snapped!"

A heavy sound came, and everyone turned around and saw that it was Mr. Qi who slapped his thigh hard and shouted: "The earth dragon appears! Old aunt, this is really good luck for your family!"

"

Xu Zhang asked in confusion: "Earth dragon?"

"Earth Dragon is the nickname of Snake." Mr. Qi's face was full of excitement. "This place is the best place to build a house. Old aunt, think about it, this is not before or after, it just happened to appear at this time.

Earth dragon, is it a sign of good luck? There is no doubt that this is God's will! It is your destiny that your old Xu family will prosper!"

Xu Jiaojiao:...Is this okay?

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Xu Zhang was so happy that she just kept saying "Okay." She was also very satisfied with this place. It was just on the other side of the winery and close to the old house. The location was good.

"This is the foundation of the earth dragon. If your house is built here, your blessings will be profound and extend to your descendants! Those who are in the family will be promoted; those who are doing business will be rich; those who are farming will be the same.
