362. Chapter 358 New 0332 Feng Shui Master Huang Youyu
"What about you? A billionaire lady like you should have more colorful holiday plans than ordinary people like us? Should we go to the Maldives to see sea turtles, or go to Australia to eat lobster?"
Li Mengnan just asked casually, and it was not rude to come back but not to reciprocate.
It was supposed to be a very pleasant topic, but Le Youyou just smiled, the smile was a little forced, and he didn't seem to want to talk about it.
Everyone has a secret. Since Le Youyou didn't take the initiative to tell it, Li Mengnan didn't want to ask, so he simply changed the topic to a topic that should be happier for Le Youyou and said: "Do you still remember what I told you?
Find some free time before the holiday and call Zhuang Jia together..."
"You mean...treat me for bulimia and Zhuang Jia's hemophobia?" It took Le Youyou a long time to understand what Li Mengnan said. It's not that she forgot, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. "Exam
It's all over, there are no classes during this period, Zhuang Jia and I are free at any time, but...are you sure you don't need to prepare any more?"
Bulimia has been a nightmare that has tortured Le Youyou for many years. She longs to be cured immediately, but the more she cares about it, the more she fears failure and that her endless expectations will come to naught in the end.
"I've already prepared everything that needs to be prepared. All that's left is a quiet room that won't be disturbed by outsiders." Li Mengnan naturally knew what Le Youyou was worried about, and gave her reassurance with a smile.
"This is no problem. Zhuang Jia has an apartment in the city. It was recently completed and the occupancy rate is not high. There are no people upstairs or downstairs. We can go there."
"Are you so trusting of me? Aren't you afraid that no one will come to save you even if your throat is broken?" Li Mengnan pretended to smile and grabbed the air twice with his hands.
"Oh, what am I afraid of? I'm just afraid that you don't dare!" Le Youyou didn't dodge, winking her charming eyes slyly and deliberately pushing her chest forward.
Li Mengnan retracted his hand and shrugged in surrender, causing Le Youyou to chuckle proudly.
Carrying only a bag of tea as a gift seemed a little thin, so Li Mengnan bought a few boxes of specialty pastries from a local pastry shop with a century-old history, as well as two large lavender hugging bears imported from South Korea, and then drove to Xiangjun
Luding's villa.
Walking into the villa under the guidance of a maid from the Ding family, Li Mengnan noticed that in addition to his father Li Hongming and Ding Linglong, there was also an old man with white hair and a good temperament in the living room.
Judging from the seating positions of the three people and the respectful attitudes shown by Li Hongming and Ding Linglong, it is obvious that the white-haired old man has no close relationship with the Ding family, but his status seems to be very transcendent.
"Oh? Xiaonan, why are you here?"
Seeing Li Mengnan, Li Hongming and Ding Linglong stood up from the sofa at the same time. Li Hongming subconsciously glanced at the white-haired old man diagonally sideways.
Li Hongming's unusual and small movements immediately caught Li Mengnan's attention. Apparently, his previous guess was flawed. This white-haired old man was not just an ordinary guest.
"Dad, Aunt Ding, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? Let me see you." Li Mengnan took the gifts from the maid's hands and placed them on the coffee table, but his eyes never left the white-haired old man.
"You kid, this is your home. Why don't you bring anything with you when you go home?"
Li Hongming patted Li Mengnan's shoulder meaningfully. Although Dingxiang Wanwan and Dingxiang Nuannuan were both his darlings, for a man who was only half a century old, a mature and sensible son made him feel more at ease.
"Xiaonan, you are interested."
Ding Linglong also smiled and showed her kindness to Li Mengnan.
Although Li Mengnan does not belong to the Ding family by blood, Ding Linglong truly treats Li Mengnan as a stepson.
This is not only because of her love for Li Hongming, but also for her two precious daughters Ding Xiang Wanwan and Ding Xiang Nuannuan.
No matter how strong a girl is, her shoulders are still too thin after all. Even if Wanwan and Nuannuan grow up to be able to stand alone like her, they still need a strong shoulder to bear the weight that girls cannot bear.
Those so-called relatives who covet the position of the head of the family and the wealth of the family are unreliable. Li Mengnan, an outsider who is related by blood to Wanwan and Nuannuan but has no relationship with the Ding family, is undoubtedly the best candidate given by God.
What's more, after this period of observation, Ding Linglong has been able to conclude that although this child looks a bit frivolous and slick on the surface, he is actually a person who values family ties and love and justice. Based on this rare character alone, even Li Mengnan
Even if he is a useless loser with no ability, he is still worthy of her care and training, Ding Linglong.
"Aunt Ding, I don't know what you and my dad like, so I just bought some... By the way, where are Nuannuan and Wanwan?" Li Mengnan didn't see those two lolita since he entered the house.
Normally, as long as she heard his voice, Ding Xiang Nuan Nuan would have run out wagging her tail like a puppy. Although Ding Xiang Wan Wan didn't want to see him, she and Nuan Nuan were always inseparable.
The vigilant look in her eyes that she didn't want to get too close to was like an old hen guarding her young.
"Wanwan and Nuannuan are still at school and may not be back until later."
Li Mengnan didn't come here just to see the two lolita. He responded casually, sat down on the large leather sofa, picked up the black tea brought by the servant, raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes naturally fell on the white man directly opposite him.
On the elderly.
The white-haired old man smiled slightly, turned to Li Hongming and Ding Linglong, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Is this your son? He is indeed a talented person, with extraordinary charisma, and he is indeed like his father!"
Li Hongming didn't even dare to take it seriously. It was clear from his words and deeds that he had great respect for the white-haired old man. Seeing Li Mengnan sitting aside blankly without expressing his position, Li Hongming realized his mistake and quickly introduced: "Xiaonan, this is Huang Youyu
Master, the most famous Feng Shui master in Sanshan City, even the Feng Shui of the home of the governor of Henan Province was arranged by Master Huang."
Feng shui master?
Li Mengnan's heart was moved when he heard this, and he inexplicably remembered the Feng Shui formation in Xia Yutian's villa that caused his magic to backfire. According to what his father Li Hongming said, this old man with a white beard named Huang Youyu seemed to specialize in the route of the powerful and high-ranking people. He couldn't say that Feng Shui
The formation has nothing to do with this person.
Under Li Hongming's compliment, the white-haired old man did not have any arrogance to reject others thousands of miles away. He waved his hands in a friendly manner and said with a smile: "Just call me Mr. Huang or Grandpa Huang. According to Feng Shui, most young people nowadays are
I don’t believe this anymore…”
"No, I believe it." Li Mengnan picked up the tea cup and smiled slightly.
It was a very rude behavior to intercept someone else's words before they finished speaking. Huang Youyu couldn't help but be startled. Seeing that Li Mengnan's expression didn't seem to be fake, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of amusement in his bright eyes.
Li Hongming was afraid that Li Mengnan would offend Huang Youyu because he didn't know the heights of the sky, so he quickly shouted in a low voice: "Xiaonan, why are you talking to Master Huang? Apologize to Master Huang quickly!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, young people, it's better to be more outspoken."
A person stands tall at thirty, has no doubts at forty, knows destiny at fifty, has obedient ears at sixty, and follows his heart's desires at seventy. Huang Youyu has already reached the age of following his heart's desires, so naturally he will not care about such a trivial matter of etiquette.
What's more, he is very interested in this young man who is said to be Ding Linglong's stepson at the moment. He can't explain the specific reason, but he is inexplicably attracted to him.
With a guest like Huang Youyu here, Li Hongming and Ding Linglong naturally couldn't chat with Li Mengnan as usual. They could only express an apology to Li Mengnan and continue the unfinished topic with Huang Youyu.
Li Mengnan never regarded himself as an outsider. He was not in a hurry anyway, so he just slowly soothed his throat with tea and listened to their conversation with his legs crossed.
He was also very interested in the purpose of Feng Shui Master Huang Youyu's visit.
After listening to Ding Linglong and Huang Youyu talking for a while, Li Mengnan finally understood. It turned out that the Ding family bought a piece of land at the foot of Hongye Mountain in the suburbs and planned to build a villa there and move the main house there after it was completed.
So Huang Youyu was specially invited to change the feng shui of this homestead.
That’s right, it’s not about looking at Feng Shui, but changing Feng Shui.
In today's society with a highly populated population, natural Feng Shui treasures are either destroyed or occupied by more powerful dignitaries. If ordinary people want to get a relatively good Feng Shui land, they can only rely on acquired changes and modifications.
Because of this, the level of the Feng Shui master you hire plays an absolute role. If you hire a half-baked Feng Shui master, it will be a trivial matter to set up a useless Feng Shui formation full of flaws. If the energy of the five elements is diverted, it will cause
A house full of resentment would be a disaster that would affect the descendants of the family.
"I have already visited that piece of land. Although it is not considered to have excellent Feng Shui, fortunately it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has a good foundation. There are not many changes that need to be made..."
While talking, Huang Youyu took out a pre-printed engineering drawing, unfolded it on the coffee table, and pointed out the changes one by one to Li Hongming and Ding Linglong.
Li Hongming and Ding Linglong were just ordinary people. How could they know the art of Feng Shui? They were confused by all the proper nouns and code words. They couldn't ask each word in detail, so they could only pretend to agree from time to time.
A few sentences.
Of course, Huang Youyu didn't go into details. Both parties actually knew very well that this meeting was just to show respect and go through the motions.
The three of them chatted around the drawings for several minutes. They had almost finished the cutscene. Li Hongming leaned forward slightly and was about to send Huang Youyu off. However, Li Mengnan, who didn't want to sit next to him drinking tea and looking at the roof, suddenly reached out and held down Ding.
Linglong was about to roll up the drawing and smiled slightly at Ding Linglong: "Aunt Ding, do you mind if I take a look at this drawing?"
Ding Linglong just thought it was a young man who was curious about new things. In addition, he regarded Li Mengnan as his nephew in his heart, and wanted to let him know more, so he casually handed the drawing that had not been put away to Li Mengnan.
Li Mengnan doesn't know how to set up Feng Shui formations, but that doesn't mean he knows nothing about Feng Shui formations.
Qimen practice is originally an exploration of the way of heaven. There are three thousand avenues, all leading to the same goal. Many large-scale illusions performed by illusionists also need to be completed with the help of the power of heaven and earth. The illusion array and the Feng Shui array are somewhat similar in some aspects. Proficiency is different.
Dare I say, I still know a little bit about it.
The construction of the Ding family's new house has not yet started, and there is only a bare piece of land. Naturally, it is impossible to have a complete Feng Shui array layout on the drawings.
But Li Mengnan doesn't need to see these, after all, even if he is given a complete Feng Shui diagram, he may not be able to understand it.
He only needs to look at the "potential" in the Feng Shui formation.
The Feng Shui array borrows the power of heaven and earth, and pays attention to making the best use of the situation. From the efficiency of utilizing the power of heaven and earth in the area of the array, you can tell whether the Feng Shui master who set up the array has straw bags or dry materials in his stomach.
Judging from the drawings, the old man named Huang Youyu does have two brushes. Basically, all the natural "potentials" that can be utilized in the Ding family's homestead are not missed, and many disconnected "potentials" are also used by other people.
They are connected one by one in an ingenious way, eventually forming a complete and endlessly circulating whole.
Based on this ability of making gestures alone, calling Huang Youyu "Master" is worthy of his name.
After a few glances, Li Mengnan put the drawings back on the table and said in a chatty tone: "Master Huang, can I ask a very vulgar question - how much does it cost to install such a Feng Shui array?"
This issue would not be out of the ordinary if it were placed abroad, but Chinese people have been ashamed to talk about money since ancient times. As the saying goes, "A gentleman is concerned with righteousness, and a villain is concerned with profit." Although this is essentially a transaction, it has been criticized by Li Mengnan like this.
Asked directly, Huang Youyu's old face still looks a little unnatural.
However, Huang Youyu would not argue with a young man in his early twenties. He smiled calmly and eased the awkwardness of the situation, saying: "Changing one's ways is for the benefit of future generations. It is an act of good deeds. Talking about money will inevitably lead to failure."
I won the lower level, but after all, I still need to rely on this meager skill to support my family, so I can just let it go."
Li Mengnan smacked his teeth and thought that this old man was so thick-skinned that he was almost catching up with him. In the first half of the sentence, he still acted like an outsider who regarded money as dirt, but in the second half he immediately became a down-to-earth vulgar person.
What does it mean to just let it happen? It means just give it as you see it! This price is much more expensive than the price tag. Your Ding family has a big business and can afford to build a private villa worth tens of millions. It’s not a good idea to go out without spending millions in consulting fees.
Say hello to others? How will you hang out in the upper-class circles of Henan Province in the future?
But having said that, this is the rule in the upper class circles. Even if Huang Youyu is willing to charge less and give discounts and run promotions, maybe the Ding family will not be willing to give up and lose his status.
"Then let me ask you another question - How much of the Feng Shui formation in the villa of the eldest son of Vice Mayor Xia's family did you just follow the rules?"
From the first time he saw the Feng Shui formation diagram, Li Mengnan could already conclude that the Feng Shui formation that caused the backlash of his illusion was made by the Huang Youyu in front of him. Their habit of using "shi" and some small details
Exactly the same.
hiss--
Huang Youyu couldn't help but take a breath of air. Others might not understand Li Mengnan's words, but he understood clearly that the guy Xia Yutian mentioned on the phone who was suspected of being a descendant of the illusion lineage was the young man in front of him.
