The middle-aged man immediately turned to Chang Bingkun and asked politely: "I hope Mr. Chang will give you some advice."
Chang Bingkun looked at Chai Yan and said to the middle-aged man: "Since the boss wants to know, then I will tell you..."
"Yes, yes, I am all ears..." The middle-aged man nodded quickly.
Chang Bingkun said: "But before I say anything, I would like to ask the boss first, who decided to renovate the door of your house?"
The middle-aged man was stunned, pointed at himself and said: "It's...it's me..."
"Didn't you ask a craftsman to check it for you?" Chang Bingkun asked.
"No." The middle-aged man shook his head.
Chang Bingkun didn't know what to say, so he nodded: "Okay, then it's no wonder..."
"Mr. Chang, please stop playing riddles and tell me quickly," the middle-aged man begged.
Chang Bingkun raised three fingers and said loudly: "The gate you rebuilt has violated three major taboos!"
"Three big taboos?" The middle-aged man suddenly looked surprised.
"The first thing is that the door pillars are not straight..."
"The second place, the earthen wall beside the door should be average..."
Chang Bingkun quickly repeated what he had said to Chai Yan, which made the middle-aged man's heart feel cold and uneasy.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man asked eagerly: "Mr. Chang, is there a third place?"
Chang Bingkun said: "Follow me..."
After saying that, Chang Bingkun turned around and walked out of the hall. Zhao Xiong and Zhao Wu followed suit, and the others quickly followed, especially the middle-aged man, who had the fastest feet and was running at a trot the whole time.
A group of people came outside the hall. Chang Bingkun pointed to the gate under construction and asked the middle-aged man: "Why use such a high gate?"
The middle-aged man knew that this was wrong as soon as he heard it, and said in a very weak tone: "I, I... I didn't want to look grand because of my high door, so I... Mr. Chang,
Is it a taboo if this level is too high?"
"Of course!" Chang Bingkun suddenly turned around and pointed at the lintel of the main hall door, and said seriously: "There is a saying that if the door is higher than the hall, the descendants will have fewer people! This new door in your house is already higher than the hall, which is a taboo.
!”
"Ah!" As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man shivered and his calves became weak.
Chai Yan, Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun were also shocked. It was the first time that they knew that there were so many ways to build a house and build a gate.
But before Chang Bingkun finished speaking, he turned around again and pointed at the earthen walls on both sides of the gate, saying: "The door is higher than the wall, and the family will cry more!"
Everyone took a quick look and saw that the new gate was indeed much higher than the walls on both sides.
"Oh my god, what a bastard, this, this, this..." The middle-aged man's face suddenly became anxious, and he hurried to the front door and shouted to the people who were working: "
Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it! Take the door down quickly, take it down right away..."
Suddenly, the house was in chaos.
Chang Bingkun didn't like this kind of atmosphere, so he said: "Master Chai, didn't you just say that we should go back?"
Chai Yan immediately nodded and said: "Master Chang, please!"
"Master Chai, please!" Chang Bingkun said politely.
Before leaving, Chang Bingkun did not forget to tell the middle-aged man not to mess around on his own in the future, and he must find a knowledgeable abbot to renovate the house.
The middle-aged man nodded his thanks repeatedly and sent the group of people off respectfully.
After walking away, Chai Yan cupped his hands to Chang Bingkun and said, "What Mr. Chang just said really made Chai Yan enlightened, admired, admired!"
Chang Bingkun shook his head and waved his hands, and said modestly: "Master Chai is overly praised. As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, if you don't even know that, it would be unjustifiable."
"That's true, hahaha..." Chai Yan smiled and said with emotion: "Today I have a deep understanding of what it means to separate lines like mountains!"
Chang Bingkun smiled slightly but said nothing.
At this time, I heard Guan Maochun who was following behind ask: "Mr. Chang, apart from the three taboos you just mentioned, are there any other taboos?"
Cheng Jiu was shocked and immediately pulled Guan Maochun, raised his eyebrows and said, "Stop talking!"
Chai Yan said: "Don't mind, Mr. Chang, he is just very curious, so you don't need to pay attention to him."
Chang Bingkun looked back at Guan Maochun, then smiled and shook his head without any intention of minding it.
Afterwards, Chang Bingkun said: "Of course there are other taboos, not only some, but many..."
The next moment, Chang Bingkun's chatterbox opened up, and he started talking non-stop while walking...
"For example, if a family cannot open two doors, the father and son will not be kind; if they must recruit angry guests into the house, the teacher must know how to do it..."
"It means that if a home has two doors open at the same time, the people living in the home will be uneasy, and the visiting guests will also feel strange. This is very unlucky. Over time, the home will inevitably have frequent conflicts and eventually fall apart.
!”
"Another example is, don't make a gesture of worship on the door, as it is not auspicious; the two sides are pointing at each other or saying nothing, and they are arguing about the lawsuit."
........
"Another example is that the doorposts are used to deal with bad disasters, and they are arranged carefully and skillfully; the upper head is suffering from fatigue and vomiting, and the lower one is suffering from the pain of the feet."
............
Chang Bingkun not only read the summarized verses, but also explained their specific meanings to everyone very considerately. He also explained the gates of some houses seen on the street, which was like an outdoor teaching class on the relationship between houses.
Walking and talking all the way, a lot of time passed without realizing it.
An hour later, the group finally returned to the inn.
After entering the inn, Chang Bingkun stopped explaining his professional knowledge and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chai, you just listened to me talk all the way. I'm sorry..."
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "No, no, Chai Yan learned a lot from Mr. Chang and benefited a lot!"
Guan Maochun also said: "Yes, Master Chang, you are so powerful and you know so much!"
Although Cheng Jiu said nothing, he still admired Chang Bingkun in his heart.
"Mr. Chang, where have you been? Let me wait for this..."
As he was talking, Xie Yuanran came over.
After Xie Yuanran finished speaking, he saw Chai Yan, and he immediately raised his hands and said politely: "Oh, Mr. Chai is here too. Unwelcome, unwelcome..."
Chang Bingkun said to Xie Yuanran: "I just went for a walk on the street and happened to meet Mr. Chai..."
Xie Yuanran shook his head and said: "Sister Chang, why haven't you changed this problem yet? Every time you go to a new place, you have to walk around in the streets, otherwise you won't even be able to enjoy your meals!"
After hearing this, Chang Bingkun laughed and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to change my problem in this life, hahaha..."
After saying that, everyone laughed.
After the laughter subsided, Chang Bingkun invited Chai Yan to sit in his room, have a cup of tea and talk together.
Chai Yan readily agreed, then turned to Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun and said, "You guys wait for me here and don't make any noise!"
"Yes, sir!" Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun responded with their hands raised.
Then, Chai Yan, accompanied by Chang Bingkun and Xie Yuanran, went up to the second floor and entered the room.
As soon as the door to the room was closed, Cheng Jiu's eyes fell on Zhao Xiong's face. While looking at it, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly...
Zhao Xiong immediately noticed Cheng Jiu's gaze and looked back at him without any scruples.
After a while, Guan Maochun asked softly: "Fourth brother, what's wrong with him?"
Cheng Jiu did not answer Guan Maochun, but raised his chin slightly and asked: "This brother is quite good at fighting..."
Zhao Xiong replied with a calm expression: "Just do it."
