  "That old steward said: 'This land is actually good, my master had just entered the capital when he obtained this land due to a coincidence. At that time, there was only a house, but no garden. The master listened to his friend's suggestion and invited Song Youdao, a famous geomancer in Beijing, to come and inspect the site. According to Song Youdao's suggestion, he built this garden. It is said that without water, it would not thrive, so he spent a lot of money and effort to bring in this stream. At that time, the master was not high-ranking and his family was not wealthy, although he almost exhausted his family's wealth for this garden, but indeed, he got promoted several times and became prosperous.'"

  "This good scene has lasted for about twenty years." The old steward sighed: "When the master was first convicted, someone came to buy this house and land. The master thought that he would return one day, so he refused, but he offended people. When he wanted to sell later, others offered a low price, and the master couldn't swallow his pride, saying that he wouldn't sell it to them no matter what. They then spread rumors everywhere, saying that the house had bad feng shui. Although they have also lost power now and don't live in Beijing anymore, the rumor has been passed on from one person to another, causing people to feel uneasy about this place. The number is just what the master wanted to take as a good omen, to ward off evil spirits. If you think it's expensive, there are peach blossoms outside the wall that will soon bear fruit, and I'm willing to give them away."

  He Zhitong listened to this speech, silently and wordlessly. As a businessman, he believed in Feng Shui very much. Whether a house is good or not can't be determined by just saying one or two sentences, but the methods of yin and yang, looking at the air, etc. are all indispensable. It doesn't make sense to spend money to buy a house that will bring bad luck.

  The old manager saw that he didn't speak, and guessed that it was probably not going to work out. He couldn't help but sigh, and retreated to a secondary plan: "If the guest thinks this house is no good, then just buy the land across the river instead? If you think it's too small, I can go talk to the neighbor and we can buy the adjacent 10 mu of land together, only the price will definitely be higher."

  He Zhizhong did not commit to it: "Don't worry, I'll ask someone to come and take a look at this house again tomorrow. We'll talk about it then." He also pointed to the garden: "Sir, would you mind if we took a look around?"

  The old butler seemed to know what they were going to do, and smiled: "Guests, take your time, I'll have someone go to the kitchen to boil some water." After finishing speaking, he really retreated, leaving only a few people in the garden chatting freely.

  "Father, since it's just a rumor, why not take advantage of the situation? The price is still reasonable, otherwise we can just set a deal. Who would become an official just because of one house and then go bankrupt because of another?"

  He Zhizhong said: "A house has five emptiness and five fullness. The house is big but the people are few, one empty; the door is big but the inside is small, two empty; the courtyard wall is not complete, three empty; the well and stove are not complete, four empty; the land is large but the house is small, five empty. This house has a big door but a small interior, and a lot of land but few houses, which occupies two emptiness. Even if you buy it, you still need to renovate it, which is not cost-effective. Moreover, you also need to rebuild the pond and accumulate soil into a mountain, and you need to ask someone to check the position, if it's not convenient to take soil, then this house is equivalent to being bought in vain. What he said may be only half true, so we should be cautious. You should calm down and wait for me to invite a fortune teller to come and see it before saying anything else."

  The peony is worried, the ancients are really not easy. Buying a house and digging a pond also have so many troubles, then when she builds a garden, after coming up with a design plan, does she still need to invite a technician to supervise and assist throughout? If others say no, and ask her to turn the water flow into a hard bend, will she have to listen?

  Yu He saw her frowning, guessed what she was thinking, and leaned into her ear, smiling softly: "Dan Niang is a bit worried, right? The other day at home, we built a house for you, and we also specially invited a Feng Shui master to examine the land before breaking ground. This is a big deal, can't be careless."

  "Back then, wasn't it Mother and Eldest Sister who took care of everything? It didn't cause me any trouble, so I didn't think it was a big deal. Now that it's suddenly fallen on my shoulders, it's really going to be a nuisance."

  Suddenly, Dalang shouted in a low voice at a clump of golden-edged osmanthus not far away: "Who's there?"

  After a moment, a girl of about ten and a boy of five or six cautiously poked their heads out from behind the leaves. The girl's lips were tightly pursed, while the boy looked pitifully at everyone. As soon as he saw the fierce look on Da Lang's face, he quickly withdrew his head, and in an instant, his eyes welled up with tears.

  "Big brother, don't shout. This kid is probably from the family of the doorman who was here earlier, and he came to see what's going on because he found it interesting. Don't scare him."

  Dalong smiled slightly and said, "Well, that's just fine." He patted his body, but didn't find anything, so he had to take out a small piece of incense from his bag and kindly beckoned the two children: "Come here, Uncle will give you something to play with."

  Peony immediately understood Dalang's intention - perhaps something could be heard from the child's mouth, it was not certain. She smiled and said: "What a good thing you are." Since taking down a blue silk thread wrapped around her waist, she took off the jade ring on top of it, put the thread in her palm, and called out to the girl: "Come here, I have a few words to ask you, if you answer well, I'll give this thread to you."

  That boy tilted his head and stared at the knot in Peony's hand, his face full of longing, but he refused to budge, shrinking behind a cluster of golden-edged roses. Peony took a step forward, holding out the knot, and the boy suddenly withdrew his head like a startled rabbit, hiding in the girl's arms without moving. The girl glared at Peony and the others with an unfriendly gaze.

  The girl's gaze was not pleasant, so she smiled and said: "Looking at their appearance, they haven't seen many outsiders, nor can they know much. Forget it, teasing them to tears is not beautiful."

  "Maybe not, don't underestimate the kid." Adults often think that children don't understand things and do everything in front of them without hiding anything. Who would have thought that kids actually know everything? Yuhua thought for a moment, then took out a peach wood carving pendant from her own family's collection and put it in Mudan's hand, smiling: "If you come back to visit, I'll add this to your gift."

  The boy said in a low voice: "You promise not to hit us?" He glanced at Dalang and He Zhizhong with his eyes.

  He Zhizhong smiled warmly and said in a soft voice: "You haven't done anything to displease us, so why should we hit you?"

  He Zhizhong was older and fatter, with a kind smile. The boy smiled back, but the girl pulled him forward, warning in a low voice: "You're here to ask about this house, right? I'll tell you, it's not for sale. Last year someone came to look at it, paid the deposit, and then lost his job." She didn't even wait for a response, pulling the boy away quickly.

  Several people couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. A moment later, a shocking and earth-shattering crying sound came from next door, seemingly the voices of the two children from earlier. He Zhizhong hastily said, "Go take a look."

  Several people had not yet reached the Moon Gate when the old caretaker, his face red with rage, grabbed the gatekeeper's arm and pushed him forward, shaking his white beard as he spoke in a trembling voice: "Hu Dalang, you've gone too far! The master gave you a meal for your whole family to eat, even if it was just a trip to Lingnan, he still kept you here to watch the house so that you could have food to eat. Is this how you teach your children? I said, why can't this house be sold no matter what? It turns out it's because of your family meddling in the middle!

  Sweat, workload suddenly increased, wanted to code more words, so the update was delayed again. Asking for pink tickets.
