Although I could see that there was something wrong with the stove door, I didn't dare to say it out loud.
After all, the things recorded in the 《Death Scripture》 were dead knowledge. I had never come into contact with such matters before. Wang Zekun, on the other hand, was a famous geomancer. He had seen countless yang residences. Perhaps there were some principles that I didn't understand. If I said my opinion, it would only make a fool of myself.
At this moment, the relatives and neighbors had congratulated us, and the last step was to hang the Peace Silk before the housewarming ceremony was over.
The Peace Silk, as the name suggested, was to hang a red silk amulet on the lintel of the main house to symbolize the safety of the house.
My parents had prepared the Peace Silk, and they handed it to Wang Zekun. After Wang Zekun read a few happy words, they handed it to the carpenter.
At this time, my dad had already placed the new mahogany ladder next to the door. The carpenter happily held up the red silk and climbed up the ladder. He hung the red silk on a nail that was specially nailed on the lintel of the door and chanted, "The family is safe and sound, wealth and good luck …"
As soon as the Peace Silk was hung, my parents finally smiled in relief.
It wasn't easy to live in the countryside. Building a new house was a lifetime's work.
Although I had been admitted to university and might work outside in the future, this new house was actually prepared by my parents for me to use as a wedding house.
It was the tradition of the villagers to build a house at the age of eighteen.
After planning for so many days, his parents were naturally overjoyed to see that everything had come to fruition.
However, right at this moment, a gust of wind blew in the noisy courtyard.
It didn't blow the cherry tree or the new tablecloth on the table, but the Peace Silk that had just been hung on the lintel.
Before the carpenter could get down from the ladder, the peace silk made of red cloth was blown to the ground by the wind.
The smiles on my parents' faces froze.
The Peace Silk falling to the ground was a bad omen!
The crowd became noisy. The carpenter saw that something was wrong and hurried to pick up the Peace Silk. He climbed up the ladder and hung it up again, muttering, "Blessing of the wind …"
This time, he didn't dare to let go. He held the silk for a long time, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he exhaled and let go.
"Hu hu …"
Just as the carpenter loosened his grip on the Peace Silk, another gust of wind blew over. The Peace Silk swayed once more before falling to the ground in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone's expression changed. The carpenter's eyes widened in disbelief. My dad's face darkened. My mom was so anxious that she almost cried.
The expressions of the experienced elders in the village changed, and they began to discuss, "The Silk of Peace fell to the ground, this is the sign of a haunted house!"
The original intention of hanging the Peace Silk was to ensure safety, but now the Peace Silk couldn't be hung at all. It was obviously an ominous sign.
At this time, I finally confirmed that it wasn't that the Death Scripture was wrong, but that Wang Zekun was just a dabbler in Fengshui!
The position of the stove door was definitely wrong!
In the Death Scripture, there was a sentence at the beginning: "A quack doctor's mistake only affects one person; a quack teacher's mistake overturns an entire family."
Wang Zekun, a dabbler in Fengshui, can actually make such a big name, it is really harmful.
Although I was angry, Wang Zekun was still an elder, so I carefully said to my dad, "Dad, this isn't an ominous sign, it's just because the position of the stove door wasn't right."
"Third Child, don't talk nonsense." Although my dad's expression wasn't good, he still interrupted me and turned to look at Wang Zekun.
"What does a child like you know?
Our Wang family has been doing Fengshui for several generations, and we've never made a mistake! "
After this happened, Wang Zekun's expression wasn't good, and his tone wasn't right.
I still wanted to say something, but my mom pulled me back and apologized to Wang Zekun. "Children don't understand, Big Brother Wang, don't take it to heart. Let's first see what's wrong with the Peace Silk."
Since my mom stopped me, I didn't say anything else, and thought that Wang Zekun would find the problem and fix it.
After all, he was in this line of work, if I really pointed out his mistakes, it would ruin his reputation, and we would become enemies in the future.
Wang Zekun snorted and turned to look at the Peace Silk.
The originally noisy courtyard also quieted down, and everyone waited for Wang Zekun to explain.
After muttering to himself for a while, Wang Zekun stroked the goatee on his chin, and said, "The Peace Silk fell to the ground because of the wind. The wind represents the Xun position, the main gate represents the Kun position, the Xun Palace represents the Fu Liweng.
This is the result of a woman's lack of virtue, causing a disaster to the house.
It's said that Fengshui creates people, but in reality, people also affect Fengshui.
Therefore, this isn't a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. "
After he said that, everyone's eyes stared at my mom.
I stood on the side, completely dumbfounded.
What did he mean by "a woman's lack of virtue, causing a disaster to the house"?
It meant that my mom didn't follow the virtue of a woman, causing a disaster to the house's Fengshui, causing the Peace Silk to not hang!
What did not follow the virtue of a woman mean, it didn't need to be said that everyone understood!
After thinking it through, the anger in my heart burned.
Because of the anger, I couldn't even speak.
My mom, who stood on the side, had a deathly pale face, and her entire body trembled.
Rural people's tradition was to value reputation the most, especially for women.
In the city, unmarried women would be surrounded by many suitors, and people would say that they were attractive.
However, in the village, there would be elders who wouldn't like it. They would think that they were attracting bees and butterflies.
If unmarried women were like that, married women would have the thought of suicide if they were gossiped about!
But now, Wang Zekun had said that my mom didn't follow the virtue of a woman!
Who was Wang Zekun?
For dozens of years, whether it was a house in the sun or a house in the dead, the Fengshui of our town had always been checked by the Wang family. In the eyes of the simple villagers, the words of the Wang family were the golden rules, and they couldn't be wrong.
Why?
Because he was a Fengshui master!
His words weren't just empty words. He had seen it through Fengshui!
Humans could lie to others, but would the heavens lie to them?
In the simple values of the villagers, God wouldn't lie, and Fengshui wouldn't lie either!
Today was the housewarming ceremony, and all of our relatives and friends were there. If Wang Zekun's words were spread out, my mom wouldn't be able to live!
She was the most traditional and simple woman in the village. This was the most shameful crime that the villagers didn't even dare to think about. But now, someone had pinned it on her. How could she live?
I felt my entire body heat up, and blood rushed to my head. I directly rushed in front of Wang Zekun and said, "Don't slander me!
It's clear that you opened the kitchen door in the wrong position. You opened the Xun gate in the qian position, and you messed up Fengshui. You still have the nerve to say something like Xun Kun Palace and Fu Liweng.
You don't understand Fengshui, but you still came out to harm people! "
Wang Zekun was also enraged. He glared at me and said, "Just now, you said that opening the kitchen door in the wrong position, and I didn't want to argue with you. But you still don't know what's good for you. You can ask, when did the Fengshui of the Wang family make a mistake?"
"Whether they made a mistake or not, the Wang family naturally knows!
Fengshui is very mysterious, and no one dares to say that they are absolutely correct. Your Wang family sure is confident! "
I also waited for Wang Zekun. I didn't want to give him any face.
Wang Zekun appeared to be even angrier than me. His eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire. He angrily laughed and said, "Good, good, good. My Wang Clan's several generations have become arrogant in your mouth.
From your tone, you seem to have a lot of knowledge in Fengshui, right?
Good, today I will discuss the principles of Fengshui with you. If you can't give me a good reason, then you will have to kneel down and apologize in front of so many people! "
As a member of the Wang family who had been begged by the county magistrate, Wang Zekun had never suffered this kind of humiliation. Even if he said something inauspicious when he looked at Fengshui, no one dared to offend him like this.
I was about to say something, but my mom pulled me and whispered, "Third baby, don't …"
Seeing my mom being slandered and still worried for me, I almost cried. I held back a smile and said to my mom, "Mom, don't worry. If the Wang family's gramps came, I definitely wouldn't dare to say anything. But this half-baked Fengshui master, I'm definitely better than him."
"Ha … Very good. Since you're stronger than me, then you can go and hang this Peace Silk on the wall.
If you can hang it, then I'll smash my signboard today! "
I didn't even look at him. I picked up a shovel and a bucket in the corner, and went to the courtyard to dig a bucket of soil. I poured the soil on the newly opened kitchen door, and then came back to pick up the peace silk. I turned to Wang Zekun and said, "Of course I can hang it."
After saying that, I didn't pay attention to him anymore. I directly climbed up the ladder and hung the peace silk on the nail on the door.
This time, under everyone's gaze, the peace silk hung there steadily, not even the foot of the cloth moved.
"This …"
The surrounding people started to discuss in bewilderment. All of them looked at me with disbelief in their eyes.
The people in the courtyard were all my relatives and neighbors. Of course, they wouldn't believe that my mom didn't have any morals. However, no one dared to doubt Wang Zekun, and no one had any confidence in me. But now, the hard truth was right in front of them. They looked at Wang Zekun with strange eyes.
Wang Zekun's face was also full of surprise, but it quickly turned into anger. He almost roared, "You used soil to block Fengshui. That's a trick!"
He had already lost his mind due to his anger. I smiled at him disdainfully and said, "How can soil block Fengshui?
Soil belongs to Kun, and I just used soil to temporarily block the Xun position of the kitchen door.
Didn't you say that not hanging the peace silk has nothing to do with the kitchen door?
Just like you said, I blocked the Fengshui of the kitchen door, but why did the peace silk hang there now? "
Wang Zekun shut his mouth. After a long silence, he said word by word, "Water has no fixed momentum, and the wind has no fixed shape.
Fengshui also changes according to the weather. Just now was the ominous hour, and now is the auspicious hour. That's why the peace silk is different. "
Even at this time, he was still stubborn.
To be honest, I didn't want to destroy his rice bowl because his Fengshui was wrong. It was because his character wasn't right.
It was fine if his Fengshui was wrong, but he didn't want to admit his mistake and put the blame on someone else. What was the difference between him and a beast?
Of course, I wouldn't let him quibble like that. I directly said, "According to what you said, your Fengshui was right. That proves that you opened the kitchen door at an auspicious position, right?"
Wang Zekun nodded and still stubbornly said, "The kitchen door that the Kitchen God used is naturally an auspicious position."
"Okay!"
I turned around and took out a pot of my mom's daffodils. I went over and placed it at the kitchen door. Then, I said to the surrounding people, "Everyone, watch carefully. Put the flower in the auspicious position he mentioned. Let's see what happens."
Everyone held their breaths and focused on the pot of ordinary daffodils.
