After the meal, the Ying family members quietly said, "Father, we will head back now. Please rest well tonight."
"Grandfather, we are leaving!"
One by one, dozens of people gradually departed, leaving only Ying Fushan and his wife Yan. "Father, Feng'er and I will take our junior sister back to her room to rest."
"Mm, go ahead, don't mind me." Elder Ying then turned to Liu Qingxi and said, "Rest well; you can't be late tomorrow."
With a light step, he left. The dining room was close to his residence, so there was no need for anyone to see him off. Besides, he was in good health and could manage on his own.
Ying Fushan watched the old man's figure disappear before saying, "Qingxi, let's go!"
Having just arrived at Ying Mansion, Liu Qingxi was still unfamiliar with the layout. As they walked, Ying Fushan introduced her: "Ying Mansion has many people. This area belongs to the second house; their children are behind them.
Over there is the third house, which corresponds with the second house. There are also the fourth house and others."
As he explained, Liu Qingxi began to understand its structure. The garden used during the Architectural Symposium last time was actually not far from the dining room and was relatively close to the main entrance of Ying Mansion.
The residences were arranged in a manner that led inward sequentially, with each house corresponding to their children for easier communication. It resembled a courtyard but was not structured like one.
Considering that Liu Qingxi was not very familiar with the next generation of children, Ying Fushan arranged her residence a bit farther away to avoid potential conflicts (he understood the nature of the children).
Once she became familiar with them, it wouldn't be too late to move closer. "It's a bit far; I hope you don't mind, Qingxi."
"Senior Brother is joking; I apologize for any trouble caused."
Accompanied by Ying Fushan and Yan, they stopped in front of a courtyard that contained only two rooms—delicate and suitable for one person.
"I really like it; thank you, Senior Brother. Thank you, Sister-in-law."
“Qingxi, you’re too polite. You’re about the same age as my child, so feel free to let me know if there’s anything inconvenient. I apologize for making you stay here for a few days.” Yan spoke gently, her eyes filled with warmth.
This was a woman who had grown up alongside Ying Fushan, naturally marrying and having children together. For over twenty years, they had loved each other without parting, their affection as strong as ever.
Indeed, Ying Fushan was a handsome and gentle man, perfectly matched with the graceful Yan.
“Hmm, Master Brother Sister-in-law, you both have worked hard!”
After seeing them off, Liu Qingxi washed up with the help of two maidservants and lay down on the soft bed.
Taking a deep breath, she quickly closed her eyes to rest. The bumpy carriage ride had left her feeling like her bones were about to fall apart.
After a good night’s sleep, the next day at dawn, accompanied by the crowing of a rooster, Liu Qingxi woke from her dreams. She swiftly washed up and changed clothes before retracing her steps from yesterday towards Elder Ying’s residence.
The two maidservants followed closely behind. They had intended to lead the way, but Miss Liu was so familiar with the route that she didn’t take a single wrong turn.
In Elder Ying’s courtyard, he had already risen early due to his light sleep and was exercising in the yard when he saw the young girl walking slowly through the morning dew. A smile of satisfaction appeared on his face: “Not bad, not bad. You arrived a minute early.”
“My family members are all quite lazy; even at dawn, they wouldn’t be able to make it here.” The old man waved his hand helplessly. “They’ve all been spoiled. Alright, let’s not talk about them; let’s start our lesson.”
Under the bamboo Pavilion, the maidservants timely placed a pot of Clear Tea and several plates of snacks on the round table where the old man and young girl sat.
Liu Qingxi took out a large notebook she carried with her and pulled out a homemade charcoal pencil as she began to share knowledge with Elder Ying.
The sound of the pencil scratching against the paper mingled with the gentle breeze and the chirping of insects overhead as they immersed themselves in a sea of knowledge, freely drifting along.
“First of all, before building a house, choosing the right location is crucial. When selecting a site, it’s essential to pay attention to feng shui. Good feng shui plays an important role in future careers or business ventures.”
“Let’s first discuss the surrounding environment of the house; these factors influence its yin-yang energy field. If there are pharmacies, temples, or graveyards nearby, they can easily affect the feng shui and energy field of the house.”
If the surrounding area has mountains and water, this geographical position is considered the most auspicious, as it can invigorate the Yang energy, which will be very beneficial for enhancing vitality.
Liu Qingxi listened attentively; this type of knowledge related to Feng Shui is rarely covered in modern studies and is typically assessed by specialized Feng Shui masters.
However, if one can master it, integrating the layout of a house with safety and durability will represent a significant leap forward.
"Girl, we must not be careless about this site selection. A slight deviation can lead to a significant error. This principle remains unchanged when we build houses. As for the specifics, they must be judged based on actual conditions. What I mentioned above is not absolute; you need to practice more in real life to effectively improve efficiency and accuracy in judgment."
"Master, how do we determine these slight differences and grasp them accurately?"
"This question requires more than just my explanation; you also need to comprehend it thoroughly. Let me first introduce some basic knowledge so you have a general understanding of Feng Shui, and then we can combine it with the structure and layout of the house."
"For example, the orientation of the house's entrance is crucial as it serves as the main energy intake point. The orientation can generally be determined based on the owner's destiny. For instance, if a Yangming Fire Elemental Person favors the southwest direction, then having the entrance facing southwest will greatly benefit the energetic field. The main door is considered a highly auspicious position, allowing it to absorb good energy, which will influence the family's fortune."
The front of the house should be bright; an open and well-lit area is very beneficial for generating vitality. It is preferable to have a water feature or fountain in front of the door. However, if it is bright and unobstructed, it will also greatly benefit the energetic field and bring good Feng Shui fortune. If a commercial shop's entrance faces northeast, there should be no visible water in front; otherwise, it would signify misfortune and financial loss.
The back of the house should have support; having backing provides stability for both the house and benefactors. A supportive structure behind helps enhance relationships with benefactors. If there are several buildings behind that are equal in height to the house itself, their collective strength can adequately support the house, which aligns with the principle of "having support behind," indicating stability.
As Elder Ying explained from simple to complex concepts, Liu Qingxi felt as if she had crossed through a gateway into a completely different world, experiencing the wonders of new knowledge.
Feng Shui gossip indeed possesses its inexplicable mysteries. This feeling of rapidly absorbing knowledge brought her back to her student days—the desire to explore certain questions and the thirst for new knowledge.
