Although he thought Chen Xiao's request was strange, his nephew had given money to renovate the house, and the changes he proposed would not affect his life. So Chen Changgen hesitated for a moment and agreed.
When the roof was finished, Chen Changgen led two people to open a gate at the place designated by Chen Xiao. The original gate was blocked with something, and a wall would be rebuilt when there was time and money in the future. Chen Xiao and the other two took down the stove in the kitchen and rebuilt a new stove at the place he designated.
Chen Xiao knew that what he did could not be understood by others, so he used all the changes required by the Feng Shui pattern as an excuse to renovate the house. If he could do it himself, he would do it himself, and if he could not do it himself, he would find a reason that made people feel reasonable.
For example, the stove has changed from one burner to two burners, which is much more convenient than the previous method of steaming rice and cooking dishes, where one can only finish one and then do another. When the stove was built, my aunt was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Although the location changed drastically, she got used to it in a few days.
The wall was smoothed with the mixed mud, and the farmyard immediately became much neater. Adding the brand new black tiles, the grade of the whole yard was immediately improved. The Chen family was very happy, and they arranged the furniture according to Chen Xiao's instructions, and couldn't wait to move in.
After the house was renovated, the walls needed to be dried before people could move in. Otherwise, it would be damp and cold, making people feel uncomfortable. However, the Chen family didn't care at all. They would rather collect firewood and dry it than wait even a day.
Chen Xiao was somewhat helpless about this and could only make an agreement with Er Shun. The two of them quietly got up in the middle of the night and gathered in the main room.
The main house is the most common place to place Feng Shui instruments. Chen Xiao chose the main beam of the main hall to place the jade pendant. There was a secret compartment in the center of the beam that he had secretly given money to the seller when he bought the beam.
The seller was very used to using secret compartments to hide things at home. After receiving the money, he quickly made a secret compartment on the beam that was not easy to find.
Ershun and Chen Xiao quietly brought the ladder. Chen Xiao climbed up in the dark and searched for a long time before he found the secret compartment and put the jade pendant in.
The jade pendant was placed into the beam of the house, and the stable aura quickly spread to the house, making the Feng Shui arrangement of the entire Chen family's house take effect.
Seeing the stable aura blending harmoniously with the aura of the entire village of Fan Village, Chen Xiao finally let go of the worry in his heart.
Ershun held the ladder from the bottom, and waited for Chen Xiao to climb down. Then the two of them carried the ladder out of the main house one after the other.
Ershun finally couldn't help it and asked in a low voice: "Brother Hanwa, can this help Brother Wu get elected? Why do I feel... uneasy?"
The girl gave Chen Xiao some face implicitly and didn't directly say that he was unreliable. After all, she had never heard that repairing a house could make someone be selected by the immortal gate.
Chen Xiao also whispered: "I'm not sure either. I learned this method from... I don't know if it will work. But it should have some effect."
After all, the Feng Shui pattern has been created.
There is a street in front of the Chen family's house. The left side is long and the right side is short. It is better to open the right door to absorb the earth's energy. So Chen Xiao changed the position of the gate, which is also called "White Tiger Gate to absorb energy."
Because the astrology was wrong, Chen Xiao had no way to calculate Chen Changgen's birth date and place the furnishings in the house according to his fortune. He could only divide the various directions in the house according to the method of the Eight House School and arrange them into a "sitting and facing prosperous" pattern.
Sitting in a prosperous position and facing a prosperous direction, it can bring good fortune and luck. It just fits the pattern of Chen Changgen's family's small wealth and honor for thirty to fifty years. However, if you want it to come true immediately for Wu Xinzhi, who is only engaged to Ershun, you need to make another preparation.
Chen Xiao gave Ershun a bunch of red string. He said, "You and Wu Xinzhi have been engaged, so you must know his birth date. Don't sleep tonight, recite his name and birthday silently while weaving the red string into a thin rope. Tomorrow morning, give him the thin rope and let him tie it around his wrist and don't take it off." After all, they were engaged, and if Ershun wanted to strengthen Wu Xinzhi's relationship with this family, he had to work harder.
After hearing Chen Xiao's nonsensical words, the little girl didn't dare to doubt it anymore. Chen Xiao's vague words shocked Er Shun, a girl who tends to think too much. She thought Chen Xiao had learned some magic from someone in the county city. She knew that there was a saying that the magic should not be passed on to others.
Ershun took the red thread with both hands with a solemn expression, and returned to her room. As expected, she did not sleep all night and braided the red thread into a red rope as thick as a chopstick. She did not take time to rest, and rushed to deliver it to Wu Xinzhi at dawn.
Wu's parents were resentful of her, and Er Shun did not dare to knock on the door directly. He only asked a classmate of Wu Xinzhi's school to come forward and call Wu Xinzhi out.
Three days later, Wu Xinzhi's mood had calmed down. When he heard Ershun looking for him, he thought it was because of what happened that day. He felt a little guilty. But after all, she was his mother, and a son should not blame his mother. He could only persuade Ershun to be patient.
Wu Xinzhi and Ershun met in front of a lotus pond outside the village.
After a sleepless night, Ershun looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes and swollen eyelids. Wu Xinzhi felt distressed and said, "Ershun, I know you've been wronged. Don't take my mother's words to heart. I know you've been good to me. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer any grievances in the future."
Ershun reacted quickly, she shook her head and said softly: "Brother Xinzhi, I understand. Auntie was just upset for a while, she didn't mean it." Ershun could tell whether it was intentional or not. But she couldn't argue with Wu Xinzhi on this matter, and besides, this was not the purpose of her coming today.
Ershun took out the red string from her sleeve, lifted Wu Xinzhi's right hand, and carefully tied it around his neck. Wu Xinzhi didn't move, just watched her move. When Ershun finished tying it, he asked, "Ershun, what is this?"
Ershun looked up at him and said seriously, "Brother Xinzhi, you must bring it with you. This is what my brother Hanwa specially prayed for you using magic. It can bless you to succeed in the re-election."
Wu Xinzhi didn't care. He had never thought that he would not be elected in the re-election. But this was a token of his fiancée's love, so he just wore it as a talisman. So Wu Xinzhi smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely wear it and not take it off."
After giving the red string to Wu Xinzhi, Ershun was relieved. But when Wu Xinzhi returned home, he found out that there was a shocking news waiting for him.
Wu's parents sat in the living room with gloomy faces. It turned out that someone who was close to the Wu family had just come over to tell them the news that the list of candidates for the re-election had been finalized, and their Xinzhi was not on the list!
After receiving this inside information, the Wu family became anxious. They quickly mobilized their relatives and friends to inquire and found out that the head of the family had accepted the tribute from the Fan family and added the name of the young master of the Fan family to the list.
The six young families in the last and second rounds, except for the Wu family, all had some connections. So after discussing it, they simply eliminated Wu Xinzhi.
It was also the fault of the Wu family's parents for being so careless that they didn't even think of visiting the headmaster's house. Not to mention sending gifts, they didn't even say a word of praise. Seeing this, the headmaster didn't even feel bad anymore and directly crossed out Wu Xinzhi's name.
While cursing at home, the Wu family's parents took out their family savings and wanted to give them to the head of the family so that he could change their son's name back. However, the head of the family simply refused to see them, pretending to be unwell and closing the door to refuse visitors.
Wu's mother was so angry that she fainted. Wu's father was panicked, pinching her philtrum and calling for a doctor. Wu Xinzhi stood in the living room and looked at his family in a mess, shaking with anger. Only then did he realize that people are evil and shameless.
The Wu family welcomed the day when the immortal masters of the Chongxuan School came again in anxiety and panic.
The re-election was supposed to be that the young men on the list would go directly to the ancestral hall, and the others would not have to go. Wu Xinzhi was unwilling to accept this and insisted on going in to take a look. The teacher who was blocking him outside was the one who had advised him that day, and he felt sympathetic towards his failure, so he let him in to take a look.
However, he warned Wu Xinzhi not to make any noise and alert the Immortal Master. If he made any trouble, the next time other sects came to select disciples, he would be disqualified.
Wu Xinzhi was frightened by the warning and immediately gave up the idea and promised to behave himself.
The only immortal master who came this time was the one who presided over the event last time. The one who was selected as the inner disciple was already there, and the person in charge was introducing the selected young men one by one.
Wu Xinzhi stood at a distance and watched, pinching his palms unwillingly. He wanted to rush over and loudly expose the dirty deal between the head of the school and the Fan family to the immortal master. If it weren't for the warning from the master who let him in, he would really rush over.
Even so, he was still panting in anger. He lowered his head and glanced at the red string on his wrist, remembering the expectations and blessings Ershun had given him when he gave it to him. He felt even more sad, and his eyes turned red.
The Wu family was also in a state of deathly silence. Wu's mother was too ill to get up, and Wu's father had stopped working on the farm and just sat in the living room smoking his pipe. The other members of the Wu family were also in low spirits, and they dared not make any noise at this time to avoid being scolded by Wu's father.
Suddenly, there were shouts outside the door. Father Wu looked up blankly. He saw the person who had given his family the inside information before rushing in and saying to him repeatedly, "Your family's Xinzhi has been selected again! Don't just stand there, pack your things quickly! The Immortal Master is going to take them away today, just wait for half a day!"
Father Wu was surprised and delighted, but still couldn't believe it. He stood up and pulled the man over, "What did you say? My son Xinzhi was selected? What happened? Didn't that damn Fan family take my son's place?"
The visitor slapped his thigh and laughed, "We were all about to leave. But the Immortal Master suddenly asked why your Xinzhi was not on the list, and the head immediately turned pale with fear. The Immortal Master did not hold him accountable, but just asked him to replace him with someone else, and that's how your Xinzhi was selected!"
The Wu family was so surprised that they were busy packing Wu Xinzhi's luggage. Chen Xiao was relieved when he heard the news.
Feng Shui is all about making something that is possible become something that is certain to happen. Something that originally had only a 1% chance of success will become 100% successful with the strengthening of luck.
Fortunately, in this world, the essential abilities of Feng Shui to change fortune, bury in the Year of the Tiger and prosper in the Year of the Rabbit, promote officials to high positions, and ward off evil and bring prosperity have not changed.
