Chapter 539 Feng Shui Controversy
The setting sun melts gold, the evening clouds merge, and I am on my way home.
When I returned from my mentor's house, it was almost sunset time, and the red sunset turned towards the west mountain, dyeing most of the sky red. In the golden red, Zhu Pingan slowly returned to Xiahe Village.
Walking to Xiahe Village, when he was about to get home, Zhu Pingan found that there were many people surrounded in front of his house, as if there was some excitement.
Approaching, Zhu Ping'an found that his mother, Mrs. Chen, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu, Mrs. Zhu, the eldest aunt, the fourth aunt, and the third aunt from the old house were all there, as well as several other neighbors. People didn't notice Zhu Ping'an's arrival, and all their attention was focused on a middle-aged Taoist surrounded by a crowd surrounded by a purple Taoist robe, with wooden hairpins in a bun, carrying a gossip cloth bag, and a middle-aged Taoist in his hand. .
From the geomancy plate in his hand, Zhu Ping'an can roughly guess his identity, a feng shui master who is bluffing and deceiving.
Even in modern times, there is a market for Feng Shui masters, not to mention the feudal Ming Dynasty.
Mother Chen's face was indignant in the crowd, she gritted her teeth and glared at her aunt, as if she wanted to bite twice.
The eldest aunt hid her mother Chen's eyes in the crowd, stood beside Mrs. Zhu, pointed at Zhu Ping'an's house, and spoke to the Feng Shui master, "Master, help us see, There is something unclean about this house. You also looked at the old house just now, and see if there is any conflict between this house and the old house. "
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? What's wrong with my house?!" Mother Chen raised her eyebrows and asked back with a sneer.
The eldest aunt avoided the gaze of her mother, Chen, and replied with some lack of confidence, "Ahem, aren't we all from the Zhu family? I invited Master Zhang Tianshi to come all the way to see our old house. By the way, let me show you. Zhang Tianshi is amazing, you can't invite as many people as you want, let Zhang Tianshi take a look at your house, if there is any unclean place, let Zhang Tianshi help you change Fengshui."
The onlookers heard Zhang Tianshi's name, and some people who knew it let out a few sighs, and then popularized Zhang Tianshi to the people around them. It is said that Zhang Tianshi is a descendant of Taoist Zhang Tianshi. He practiced in a Taoist temple on Woniu Mountain since he was a child. He is proficient in the art of Fengshui. proud of.
It is said that the former magistrate of Huaining County heard about Zhang Tianshi's name and sent someone to summon Zhang Tianshi to test his talents. . The former magistrate of Huaining County sent people to dig, and sure enough, a stone resembling a tiger was dug out at a depth of about five feet. Since then, Zhang Tianshi's reputation has grown even louder.
After listening to the neighbors biting their tongues, Zhu Pingan looked at the celestial master in the crowd, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips. Interestingly, this is a charlatan who knows how to propagate and guide public opinion.
"Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness. My family's Feng Shui is good, so don't worry about it." Mother Chen sneered.
"You are welcome, brothers and sisters, Master Zhang is here, so let me show you too." The aunt said resentfully.
"You don't need to worry about the old house. My family is doing well, so I don't need this kind of thing." Mother Chen stared at the aunt hard, and she didn't listen to what the aunt said, and despised her. .
"Ahem, let's take a look. Your elder brother learned much earlier than he did. He has been unable to pass the imperial examinations for so many years. I asked many people to read it, and they all said that the family's Feng Shui is not good, so they rushed your elder brother. The test luck." The aunt's business is getting more and more unfounded, but despite this, she is still very firm and insists that Zhang Tianshi show Zhu Ping'an's house Feng Shui.
"What do you mean? You said that my family's feng shui has suppressed the elder brother?" Mother Chen looked at the elder aunt with contempt even more as if she had heard a big joke.
"Just now your eldest brother has already set off. This time, let Zhang Tianshi take a look at Fengshui, and let your eldest brother pass the imperial examination smoothly. Your elder brother's imperial examination is a matter of our old Zhu's family. It is good for our whole family to pass the exam. " When the aunt mentioned the imperial examination of the uncle, her eyes lit up and her back straightened up.
Hearing this, mother Chen raised her chin, glanced at her aunt, and rolled her eyes in disdain. My son Zhu Ping'an has already won the first prize in the examination. How can you be so talented as a man? ! As far as the boss's virtue is concerned, if you borrow a debt to frame your brother, thank God if you don't bring us any harm, what else do you want to gain? !
When the mother Chen and the eldest aunt were fighting, the grandfather Zhu was smoking a pipe all the time, silent, not saying a word, just watching silently.
The grandmother, Mrs. Zhu, was the same as usual, thinking of the uncle in her heart, and she stood on the side of the aunt. The words were fair on the surface, but anyone who heard it knew that she was biased towards the aunt. , don't say a few words, there are so many people watching, and I'm not afraid of being laughed at. The sun is almost setting, so don't delay Zhang Tianshi's work, let Zhang Tianshi look at the house quickly.
My mother, Mrs. Chen, heard that she wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Zhu stretched out her hand and pulled her away. Although she was very unhappy, for Mrs. Zhu's sake, her mother Mrs. Mrs. Chen didn't say anything more.
Seeing mother Chen's acquiescence, the eldest aunt seemed to have eaten honey, and felt that a happy life was coming.
In the heart of my aunt, I always felt that Zhu Ping'an's family's feng shui washed over their house and overwhelmed their house. My aunt used to find someone to tell her fortune in the town. Many times, the fortune teller said that she was the wife of an official, that her man, that is, the uncle, could pass the imperial examination, and that her son Zhu Pingjun was a Wenqu star, and that he would be the number one scholar in the future. Woolen cloth.
As a result, the uncle did not take the imperial examination to become an official, but Zhu Pingjun passed the imperial examination, and within a few days of becoming an official, he was promoted to a sixth-rank official. I heard that he is two ranks higher than the county master; He didn't even pass the exam for Tongsheng, but Zhu Pingan passed the exams for Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, and Gongshi all the way to the number one scholar.
In the heart of the eldest aunt, the number one scholar, the official, these should belong to her family, and they were taken away by Zhu Pingan
That's why the eldest aunt tried her best to find Zhang Tianshi, thinking about changing Feng Shui.
After listening to the ins and outs, Zhu Pingan walked into the crowd and said hello to his mother Chen, father Zhu, and grandparents in turn.
My mother, Mrs. Chen, had a rare smile on her face when she saw Zhu Ping'an.
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an came back, the aunt's face was a little embarrassed and worried. After all, Zhu Ping'an is now an official. If Zhu Ping'an doesn't let Feng Shui, she can't help it
After Zhu Ping'an said hello, the grandfather put down his cigarette pouch and said two good things again and again; after the grandmother nodded, she told Zhu Ping'an that she had just decided to ask Zhang Tianshi to look at the house quickly.
Just watch it, grandma is an elder, by the way, let's see how this Fengshui master of this era is fooling people, so Zhu Pingan nodded and agreed to the request to read Fengshui.
Seeing this, the eldest aunt let out a sigh of relief.
A group of people surrounded Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Tianshi and entered Zhu Ping'an's house. Zhang Tianshi, who was holding a geomancy plate, had his own set of theories.
So, a group of people went straight to the backyard of Zhu Ping'an's house.
As he approached the backyard, Zhu Pingan found birds flying in the backyard, and heard pigs humming and chickens flying and chickens crowing, as well as the sound of tree trunks shaking vigorously, and the faint voice of a child.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an stopped and motioned for everyone to stop as well.
"What's the matter, brat? Have you repented?" The eldest aunt was a little excited, thinking that Zhu Ping'an had repented.
"No, my father planted some fruit trees in the backyard, and now it's time to bear fruit. Just now I saw birds flying up, and heard chickens and pigs crowing. It should be that there are children stealing fruit. Let's go in like this and take the children away." I'm scared, it's bad if I fall off the fruit tree. Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly, his hearing was better than the average person's, and he could hear the voice of a child.
Hearing this, the eldest aunt couldn't help but frowned. It's important to see whether a child is a child or not.
"I don't need to look at this house anymore. Wherever you are, it's all auspicious houses!"
Zhang Tianshi put away the geomancy plate, bowed his hands to Zhu Pingan with a formal face, and then asked his aunt and the others to resign.
The eldest aunt was totally confused.
