During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a businessman named Bai in a town in the southern part of the Qing Dynasty. He did ordinary porcelain transactions, but he was quite interested in Feng Shui and geomancer.
Businessman surnamed Bai usually takes some Feng Shui and geography books to read there when he is fine when he is in the shop. Sometimes he will try it out in person when he sees something he is interested in.
At that time, it was catching up with Kangqian and Qianlong , and his business was getting better and better, so he thought it was his Feng Shui technique that helped me a lot.
This year, the businessman surnamed Bai is over thirty years old. He has two daughters but no son, which makes him very upset.
Whenever friends gather, you can always hear several other friends talking about their sons at the dinner table. Every time you hear these words, the businessman surnamed Bai always looks melancholy, and after a long time, he has the idea of taking a concubine.
At first, my wife disagreed when she heard the businessman’s idea, but she only blamed her for not being able to give birth to a son. Later, she gradually agreed with the businessman surnamed Bai.
Not long after, the merchant surnamed Bai included a concubine, and a year later he gave birth to a pair of twins (sons) for the merchant surnamed Bai. The merchant surnamed Bai was overjoyed and loved the mother and son even more. Originally, the family of five became a family of seven, and the room in the family was not enough.
The merchant began to look for a suitable house. Not long after, the merchant found a house about five miles away from the town. There was a small river in front of the house and behind it. According to the merchant surnamed Bai, the house would definitely flourish after being surrounded by mountains and rivers, so he bought it at a high price.
A month later, the businessman surnamed Bai moved to his new home with his family.
also held a banquet on the same day to invite relatives and friends, including some so-called "Feng Shui Master". After these people came, they flattered the new home of the merchant surnamed Bai. Just as a group of people were talking big, a young man walked in with an old man and a servant, who was holding a lot of things in his hand.
When the businessman surnamed Bai saw it, he immediately met him.
This person is a local wealthy businessman and a person who likes Feng Shui and geomancy. The two met after a business and found out that they had the same hobbies, so they became friends.
After seeing the businessman, the two of them greeted each other, and then asked the servant to bring the gift over, and then said to the merchant: "Brother Bai, today is your joy of moving in. I would like to give you a gift, and I hope you can accept it with a smile."
The merchant received the gift and thanked the young man, and then asked the servant to take the gift down.
The businessman surnamed Bai looked at the old man next to the young man and asked, "Brother Tai, how dare you ask this old man?"
The young man said that this is their husband, and brought him here today, one to congratulate me for me, and the other to ask our husband to help see what the layout of my husband's house is.
When the merchant heard this, he was overjoyed and took the two of them around the mansion, and then asked the old man what he thought about the layout in the mansion?
After hearing this, the old man looked at the young man and seemed to have something unspeakable. The young man and the businessman said that it would be okay to just say it.
The old man then said, "Don't blame me for being too talkative. You must have had something wrong with this house before!"
The merchant was shocked when he heard this and said, "Has something happened? Is it the so-called haunted house?"
The old man nodded after hearing this and told the merchant the reason why the house was haunted house. After hearing this, the merchant burst into cold sweat and asked the old man if there was any way to solve it?
The old man asked the merchant which room he lived in. After waiting for the merchant's reply, he came to the room and then said to the merchant: "From today on, you will put a large water tank in the northeast corner of this room and fill it with water. You can go to the lake to catch eight fish. Remember that these eight fish will be four black and four white, so don't make a mistake."
The merchant asked why he did this?
The old man just used the secret of heaven as his reply.
The old man continued, "After catching the fish, you put the fish in the tank. If the black fish is gone, you should quickly fish it out and throw it away, and don't delay it for a moment. If the white fish is gone, don't worry, just let it be in the water tank. Just feed it a little food, and do not put other fish in it."
The businessman thought about it and thought that the old man was a gentleman in the wealthy businessman's family. After all, there must be something extraordinary about it. So he immediately sent someone to carry the water tank into his room and place it in the northeast corner. Then he found someone to catch four white fish and four black fish in the river, and then filled the water tank with water, and finally put all eight fish in it.
After doing these things, the old man said to the businessman again, "If all the four black fish are gone one day, come and find me again." After that, he left the Bai Mansion with the young man.
At night, the first wife came to the room to rest. When she saw that there was a large water tank in the room, there was a fish in the water tank and he said, "You damn ghost, what are you going to do? I see if you don't do it seriously, and you're fascinated by these Feng Shui techniques!"
The businessman didn't dare to tell the story of the house being a haunted house after hearing this. He just said that this was a method taught by a master in a wealthy businessman. It is said that it can give birth to a son and make money. After hearing this, the first wife looked disdainful and fell asleep.
This businessman didn't dare to sleep too hard at night, for fear that if the black fish disappeared, he would not notice it immediately, so he got up every few days to look at it.
It’s okay if you get twice, but your wife gets angry when she gets too many times, saying that you either sleep on the ground or carry the fish tank out of me. She can’t sleep even if she gets up for more than ten times a night.
When the businessman heard this, he had to sleep on the ground with his bedding. Even if he had no choice but to tell the truth, his wife still felt very noisy in the next few days, so she moved to another room. Now there is only the businessman left in the master bedroom.
A month later, the businessman found that the eight fish in the water tank were still good, so he slowly let go of his guard.
On this day, the two young daughters in the family clamored to ask the merchant to take them to the mountain behind to play. The merchant thought that it had indeed been a long time since he went out for a walk, so he took the family to the nearby mountain for a while.
After the family returned home, the businessman was exhausted, and after entering his room, he fell on the bed. This day made him exhausted and he was about to take a look. Suddenly he remembered that he had not seen the fish in the water tank today, so he quickly got up from the bed and walked to the water tank to check it.
When I saw that two white fish had turned over their belly. After closer inspection, I found that they were dead, and I don’t know when they died.
The businessman was shocked and forgot the old man's words that the white fish was gone at the beginning, so he quickly caught the white fish and threw it out. Then he stared at the fish in the water tank every day, and asked someone to help him go to the toilet. He also ate next to the water tank for food. When he was tired, he leaned against the edge of the bed for a while.
On that day, the merchant was so sleepy that he fell asleep against the edge of the bed. In his sleep, he dreamed that several people were chasing him with knives, so he kept running until he was exhausted and sat aside. Seeing this, the chasing man slashed with a knife.
At this time, the businessman was awakened and looked in a daze towards the water tank, and found that several more fish had turned white.
He quickly got up to see it. At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud noise. Something made a big hole in the wall in his room. When the merchant saw that there was some mud, gravel, and some dead branches of trees.
The businessman quickly ran to the yard to check it out. A big hole was also washed out of the outer wall of the house. Later, he heard from the servant that it was a mudslide on the mountain. Fortunately, our house was still a long distance away from the mountain and was only slightly affected. If it was close, it would be buried.
After hearing this, the businessman quickly searched for his wife and children in the house. After finding that they were safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he went back to his room and walked to the front of the water tank. He saw that the two white fish were still fine, but only the four black fish had all turned over with white belly. The businessman quickly fished the black fish and threw it out, then got up and rushed to the young man's house.
After hearing what the businessman said, the young man and the old man came to his home with the businessman. After observing it, the old man told the businessman that it was fine. The businessman asked the reason why the old man still used the sentence "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed" as his reply.
Later, the merchant moved the water tank out of the room and repaired the house. In the future, his business became bigger and bigger, and his first wife gave birth to a son for him.
