Chapter 67 Qixiang Garden
"Senior, I can't say anything; I can only ask you for advice."
Chen Jiangtao still stuffed the envelope back into Guanshidong's pocket, and then said briefly: "I have made some changes to this squirrel cage bureau, which is that carpet."
Guan Shidong is not a stupid person. When he heard this, he thought about it and immediately understood.
"Grandpa, is there anything special about him using that dirty carpet?" asked the person in the attic.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Guan Shidong said three times in a row, then touched his forehead and smiled: "I'm really not careful enough!" Then Guan Shidong said the purpose of the carpet.
After laying the squirrel cage, Chen Jiangtao laid the carpet again, which turned the entire squirrel cage into a dirty rat into a cage; because the carpet had not been washed and looked very dirty, if it was laid out like this, normal people would be disgusted and not enter.
But some people who want to hide or escape will naturally add a sense of security to their hearts and come in.
Adding that carpet was a screening for people who might enter the teahouse, so the thief would come in.
After thinking about it this way, Guan Shidong admired Chen Jiangtao very much.
The Feng Shui Bureau he created also made money, but it did not deceive the weak; it led to the criminals taking the bait and obtaining compensation from the owner.
Guan Shidong thought of a question and asked: "You dirty rats enter the cage and cannot guarantee that everyone who comes in will raise the jade carvings to fight back; nor can you guarantee that the owner will compensate; what if they don't do that?"
Chen Jiangtao smiled: "Even if the jade carving is intact or no one compensates, I will admit defeat. But at least I caught a bad guy."
"At least I caught a bad guy." Guan Shidong said this repeatedly, was ecstatic for a while, sighed a few times, and said to the woman: "Chunlan, don't put on that jade carving in the teahouse these days, it will be open for normal business."
After leaving the teahouse, Chen Jiangtao and others went to the travel agency according to the route Miao Li had checked.
Along the way, Miao Li and others couldn't help but talk about the teahouse excitedly, and kept asking Shen Jiangtao about some Feng Shui issues.
Miao Li, Zhang Min, and Yu Xu are the founders of Feng Shui Club and are also the affirmative backbone. After that, they had to deal with many things about Feng Shui Club, so Chen Jiangtao took the opportunity to talk to them a lot.
After the travel agency reported and settled down briefly, the four of them were arranged to join a group of about twenty people, and the team led a very beautiful female tour guide who spoke softly.
The first attraction visited by the tour group is Qixiangyuan, which was once a villa of a large salt merchant in modern times.
Located in the bellows alley in Jiangnan City.
The entire courtyard is not large in size and is very exquisite, and is built according to the terrain.
A pavilion is built in the southwest corner of the courtyard. There is a slope outside, and the corridor connects the flower hall.
The lake stones were piled into mountains in the courtyard, and two pools were dug to make small lakes. A huge rock was placed in one small lake to form the scenery of "Little Lonely Mountain in the heart of the lake".
Another small lake has stone bridges that lead to stone caves and bamboo forests.
The rockery in Qixiang Garden winds from south to north, and is not high in height, but the ups and downs are very reasonable.
Caves are piled up at the highest main peak of the rockery.
In addition to planting pine, bamboo, plum, golden osmanthus, magnolia, and Indiana, there are also loquat, walnut, persimmon, and apricot fruit trees in the garden.
They also surrounded the flower beds with stones, planted peonies, crabapples, crape myrtle, etc.
In addition, it is rare to place some bonsai, and hundreds of potted pots such as camellia, cypress, pine, orchids, etc. are decorated in many places in the garden.
At this time, the orchids bloom very heavily and you can smell the fragrance from afar.
The aroma is not only the fragrance of orchids, but also the smell of other flowers and trees. It is hard to describe, but it smells very nice.
Qixiangyuan deserves its name because of this.
There was a huge rock erected in the southeast, as if Feilai Peak was flying. Chen Jiangtao tried to knock it, and he could make a sound like a bronze bell.
The garden can be said to be full of color, fragrance, sound, form, and spirit.
Chen Jiangtao constantly deduces from the Feng Shui perspective and found that this Qixiang Garden really uses various Feng Shui to the extreme, and the five elements are extremely harmonious here.
A flower wall was built in the middle of Qixiang Garden, connected with a small hexagonal door, and divided into an inner garden and an outer garden.
From the inside to the outside, or from the outside, the scenery changes differently, and the river waves are amazing.
Miao Li and Zhang Min were tired of walking, so they rested in a pavilion, and Yu Xu accompanied them attentively.
Chen Jiangtao continued to confirm his Feng Shui knowledge in Qixiang Garden as if he was hungry. Before reading "Five Elements Feng Shui Technique" they all had one-sided words. This Qixiang Garden put many of the five elements Feng Shui in front of him in the form of real objects.
The female tour guide explained along the way.
He brought tourists into an old house. The room was very cold, which made Chen Jiangtao, who suddenly entered it, shudder.
The female tour guide proudly explained: "This room is where Yang Fujiu, a big salt merchant, often stays here. Why does he stay here often? Because the design of this room is very clever. According to legend, it was Guan Jizhi, a great Feng Shui master. Guan and the two worked together to create a Feng Shui bureau, so that the place can be warm in winter and cool in summer without mosquitoes. Everyone also felt it. It was very hot outside, but it seemed as cool as an air conditioner installed here."
Everyone was amazed.
The female tour guide said proudly: "The wonder of this Qixiang Garden is not only a strange landscape, but also related to the strange people. It is not only a villa of the Great Salt Merchants, but also the only remaining work of the Great Feng Shui master. Everyone believes that they have already felt it along the way."
Everyone applauded.
Chen Jiangtao looked at the middle of the house, where an ancient bed was placed, with a square beam spanning the top of the bed. At this time, he was obsessed with seeing it and found something unreasonable, so he couldn't help but say it: "This beam is wrong."
At this time, the female tour guide was talking about interesting stories related to this room. Everyone listened with relish and quiet. Chen Jiangtao's voice suddenly seemed loud.
The female tour guide was interrupted immediately, and the tourists turned their eyes to Chen Jiangtao.
The female tour guide was about to sell a gift cool fan by explaining interesting stories. When Chen Jiangtao interrupted, he was a little annoyed. He kept a slight smile on his face, but said politely: "This tourist, don't talk nonsense. What's wrong with this beam? Every wood and beam in this room is carefully designed by the great Feng Shui master. Do you also understand Feng Shui? And Feng Shui is even better than the legendary Guan Jizhi, Guan Chief and two great Feng Shui masters?"
"Haha." When the female tour guide saw that Chen Jiangtao stopped talking, he smiled softly: "It seems that this handsome guy likes to joke. Then let's get back to the point and see the cool fan in my hand. The legend of this cool fan was also designed by the great Feng Shui master..."
Chen Jiangtao raised his hand and pointed at the roof beam, frowned and said, "It's not a joke, this beam is very wrong."
