Chapter 310 White Jade for the Way, Kirin for the Guard! (Subscribe)
Chen Sheng put his hands behind his back, looked at the top of Beishan Mountain, and said slowly: "In my opinion, there are three options to choose from: good, medium and bad."
Three strategies: best, middle and worst?
Qin Han hurriedly stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Mr. Chen, please explain these three strategies in detail so that I can understand the ins and outs of them."
Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "The next plan is relatively simple. Clear the weeds around the ancestral tomb and repair the tombstone with ordinary bluestone."
"Based on the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, pine and cypress should be planted in the east around the tomb. The east belongs to wood, and pine and cypress also belong to wood. The strong wood energy can generate a strong aura and gather some vitality, which can keep the family stable. It is low-cost and time-consuming."
"What about the middle strategy?" Qin Han asked.
"The middle strategy requires building a granite trail on the North Mountain, with small bluestone animal sculptures placed along the way. The animal sculptures are distributed according to the eight trigrams, with dragon sculptures in the Qian position, phoenix sculptures in the Kun position, and horse sculptures in the Zhen position, etc., to strengthen the aura with the power of the eight trigrams."
"A blue brick wall was built around the ancestral tomb, and a bronze Bagua mirror was placed in the southeast to balance the aura by borrowing the innate energy of the Bagua."
"In the northwest stands a small stone Pixiu, which has a mouth but no anus, so it only takes in but not gives out, thus absorbing wealth."
"This plan can strengthen the aura, consolidate the family foundation, and bring certain fortune and wealth to the family. The cost is moderate and it takes a certain amount of time to prepare and construct." Mr. Chen said slowly.
Qin Han thought for a while, then asked, "What is the best strategy?"
Chen Sheng's expression became stern, and his tone became heavier. He said slowly, "The best strategy is the most ambitious."
"On the top of Beishan Mountain, a pure white marble trail was built, leading directly to the ancestral tomb. White marble is warm and white, symbolizing purity and nobility, and can greatly enhance the aura."
"On both sides of the trail, there is a bluestone Qilin statue every five steps. The Qilin is a auspicious animal that can ward off evil spirits and protect the family."
Building a trail on the mountain with white marble?
And there are Kirin statues every five steps?
Qin Han pondered in his heart...
The name of white marble sounds intimidating, but in fact it is not jade. It is different from Huanglong jade, Hetian jade, and jadeite.
White marble is actually marble, a special variety of marble and belongs to the category of low-grade jade.
Because its color is as white as snow, and it contains sparkling crystals, giving people a sense of spotless and solemn beauty, and its texture is delicate and warm, similar to that of jade, so it is named "white marble".
The name contains the word "玉" (jade), but it is not jade.
Therefore, its price is not as expensive as imagined. It probably won’t cost too much to build a white marble trail on Beishan Mountain. As for the Qilin statue, it won’t cost much either…
Qin Han nodded secretly, and then asked: "Mr. Chen, are there any other arrangements besides these?"
"Have!"
Chen Sheng nodded and said leisurely, "And there are quite a few. We also need to plant a large area of rare golden nanmu trees and arrange them according to the five elements to form a surrounding wood energy."
"A circle of white marble fences was built around the ancestral tomb, and auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes were carved on the fences, symbolizing the prosperity of the family."
"In the southeast, build an octagonal glazed pavilion. Place a pure gold Bagua mirror in the pavilion. The mirror surface is made using ancient methods. According to the principles of Bagua and Jiugong, it absorbs the auspicious energy of heaven and earth and dissolves any evil energy that may exist in the surrounding area."
"In the northwest, a three-story white marble Pixiu tower is built, and a huge white marble Pixiu is placed on the top of the tower. Pixiu attracts and keeps wealth, and can gather wealth for the family."
"The tombstone of the ancestral tomb is re-carved from a whole piece of fine Hetian jade, with the names and life stories of the ancestors engraved in official script to highlight the glory of the family. The mound is re-compacted with special five-color soil. The five-color soil corresponds to the five elements, namely blue, red, yellow, white, and black, which symbolize wood, fire, earth, gold, and water respectively. It can balance the aura and bless the family..."
Mr. Chen talked for a long time, and finally concluded: "This strategy activates the Feng Shui pattern in all directions, blessing the family with prosperity, talents, and wealth, but the cost is high, and the preparation and construction period is long!"
Hear this,
Qin Fugui, Qin Changfa, Qin Changqing, Qin Changye and others could no longer hold back. They had been keeping silent and listening to Chen Sheng's opinions before, but now, they were all shocked.
Qin Fugui's eyes widened, and he even forgot to hold the pipe in his hand firmly. The ashes fell to the ground, and he muttered to himself: "My goodness, this...how much money is this going to cost!"
Qin Changfa opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long while to come back to his senses. He patted his thigh and said, "This plan is simply beyond imagination. How can ordinary people like us dare to think of repairing our ancestral tombs like this... The imperial tombs on TV are like this..."
Qin Changqing's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his expression showed both shock and hesitation.
He slowly looked at Chen Sheng, asking cautiously, "Master, the best strategy you mentioned does sound very...powerful! But how much will it cost?"
Chen Sheng shook his head slowly, "It's hard to say..."
After a pause, he continued, "The initial land leveling, plus the cost of materials, labor, etc., is estimated to be hundreds of millions, and subsequent maintenance will require continuous investment."
These words were like a bombshell, exploding in the crowd in an instant.
Everyone gasped, shock written all over their faces.
"Hundreds of millions???"
"Oh My God!!!"
"Wow! It costs 100 million just to build a ancestral tomb... Someone pinch me, am I dreaming?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. If your dad hears you, he'll beat you up again!"
"Oh my god, one hundred million. I don't think I can earn that much money even if I don't eat or drink for ten lifetimes... Oh, it seems that this best strategy is not going to work. No matter how rich you are, you can't make money like this, right?"
"It depends on Qin Han's opinion. Brother Han is rich now!"
"I know he's rich, but he can't possibly have that much money, right? Can he spend 100 million to repair his ancestral tomb?"
"……makes sense."
Qin Wendong, Qin Wu, Qin He and others also began to discuss in a low voice, and at the same time they all looked excited, because the thought of spending 100 million to repair the ancestral tomb was very impressive.
Qin Changfa couldn't help but speak up at this time: "Although we all hope that the family will get better and better, this is not a small amount of money. Can it have such a big impact? Otherwise, let's choose the next best option? It's better to repair it than not to repair it, right?"
"That's what I mean. It's not easy for Qin Han to earn money. There's no need to spend it all on this. It's invisible and intangible."
Qin Fugui had recovered from his shock by now. He knocked on his pipe and said, "Old Third is right. Do what you can. The ancestors won't blame you. It's not easy to make a little money. Qin Han hasn't married or had children yet. He still has to do business. There will be many places to spend money in the future."
"Qin Han, I think we should just choose the worst option. I think the worst option is also good!"
Qin Han had already made up his mind by this time.
Although this option sounds quite expensive, it is luxurious and classy!
The key point is that he is not short of money now. Spending hundreds of millions or billions of dollars is really no different from sprinkling water, just a small matter. Naturally, he cannot leave a better plan and use a worse one.
"Grandpa, I choose the best strategy!"
Qin Han took a breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Family inheritance is of great significance. I am willing to do my best to create the best Feng Shui pattern for the family." Qin Fugui frowned, his face full of worry: "Qin Han, Grandpa knows that you are filial, but this best plan is too expensive. We can't lose all our family assets because of a momentary impulse."
Qin Han walked to Qin Fugui, took his grandfather's hand, and said earnestly: "Grandpa, I understand your concerns. But don't worry, I know what I am doing and I won't do anything beyond my ability. I can be successful now, all thanks to the blessing of my ancestors. It's my duty to do something for the family!"
"Now that I have the ability to do something for my family, how can I back down because of money?"
Qin Changye also advised: "Qin Han, although you are successful in your career now, the business world is ever-changing. No one can predict what will happen in the future. It is better to save some money for yourself."
Qin Han turned around, looked at everyone with a firm gaze, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I have enough confidence in my career. Moreover, repairing the ancestral tomb is not only for the present, but also for future generations. A good feng shui pattern can gather the spirit of the family and inspire our descendants to strive for progress. If our Qin family wants to continue to prosper in the future, we need such an opportunity."
"Grandpa, uncle, please stop trying to persuade me!"
Seeing Qin Han so determined, Qin Changye and Qin Changfa remained silent.
Qin Changqing knew his son's family background, so he said, "Dad, this kid is capable now, and it's all his good intentions."
Qin Fugui was silent for a long time, knocked on the pipe again, and said slowly: "Qin Han, since you have considered it so carefully, grandpa will not stop you. I hope you can do as you said and create a better future for the younger generations of your family..."
The plan to repair the ancestral tomb has been decided!
Qin Han let out a long sigh. He turned to look at Chen Sheng and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, I will entrust you with the repair of the ancestral tomb."
"You are an expert in this area. Everything is going according to your plan. You must make sure this is done to perfection."
"We'll use the best for everything you need. Just ask. Is that ok?"
Mr. Chen nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin. Since you trust me, I will definitely do my best and live up to your trust. But..."
Saying,
He changed the subject and continued, "I'm old now, and I can't keep an eye on this place all the time. I can only come up with a plan, check from time to time, and instruct them on how to place it... You have to send someone to oversee the specific construction, and I won't be responsible for the purchase of materials."
Hearing this,
Qin Han couldn't help but look at Chen Sheng with a higher opinion of him. He didn't want to get the materials? That meant he didn't want to get involved in unnecessary troubles, and he didn't want to do anything to enrich himself.
If we use the best strategy to repair this ancestral tomb, the purchase of materials alone would cost tens of millions.
Not to mention anything else, just those golden nanmu trees will cost a lot of money!
Mr. Chen said that he wanted to plant more golden nanmu trees in Beishan.
Qin Han nodded and said with a smile, "Of course. I would be very grateful if you, Mr. Chen, could help to supervise and guide me."
Mr. Chen nodded again.
immediately,
Qin Han invited Chen Sheng to his home for a visit. After Chen Sheng arrived, he took out two design drawings and showed them to Chen Sheng. He was officially preparing to build two new country villas, one for his own home and one for his grandfather's home.
"Mr. Chen, my family is designing a new house, and I would like to ask you to take a look at the design. If there is anything that does not conform to the principles of Feng Shui, I hope you can give me some advice and help me make changes so that we can make timely modifications."
"it is good."
Mr. Chen agreed readily. He took the design and started to look at it. After reading it, he stood up and looked around the yard several times, even the old house.
After a long time, Mr. Chen stood up.
"Mr. Qin, the overall layout is reasonable, but some details can be slightly adjusted."
"For example, the orientation of the living room can be expanded a little bit towards the southeast. The southeast is wood, and wood represents growth. It can make the home more lively and conducive to the career development of the family members."
"Also, the bed in the master bedroom should be placed away from under the beams, so as not to block the aura and affect the fortune of the occupants."
Qin Han listened very carefully and asked Li Zhishan to write down everything and pass it to the design company later.
Qin Han asked Chen Sheng some more questions, and Chen Sheng patiently answered them and made some suggestions on the layout of the courtyard landscape, such as creating a small rockery and flowing water landscape in the northeast of the yard, which symbolizes the influx of wealth and the gathering of blessings.
Everything is done, and finally we get to the point.
Qin Han smiled and asked, "Mr. Chen, what is the cost this time...just tell me the amount!"
To be honest, Qin Han really didn't know the cost of hiring this master.
He asked Lin Haotian, but Lin Haotian said he couldn't tell because Master Chen's charging standards were not fixed, or in other words, they were arbitrary.
According to Lin Haotian, the other party sometimes charges a sky-high fee, and sometimes does not charge a penny.
The reason is unknown.
Now that everything has been settled, Qin Han has no choice but to ask Chen Sheng directly.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen showed a mysterious smile on his face. He did not answer immediately, but took two steps and looked at the green mountains and clear waters in the distance, as if thinking about something.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Qin Han waited quietly.
It doesn’t really matter, as long as the cost is not extremely outrageous and costs tens of billions, it doesn’t matter.
How did that saying go?
Talent is priceless!
After a long while, Chen Sheng slowly turned around, looked at Qin Han calmly, and said slowly: "Mr. Qin, I won't charge you a penny for this visit."
What? ? ?
Not charging a penny???
Qin Han was stunned. What did this mean?
Sending warmth from thousands of miles away?
Not to mention Qin Han, even Lin Haotian, Qin Changqing, Li Zhishan and others next to him were very surprised and felt it was incredible.
How can you do things for free?
This is totally illogical!
Qin Han raised his eyebrows, looked at Chen Sheng, and asked in confusion: "Mr. Chen, I wonder what the reason is? Why don't you take a penny? If that's the case... I feel ashamed to accept it..."
Regardless of whether he felt guilty or not, he was actually a little worried that something must be wrong when things were out of the ordinary.
Is there any other plot?
It’s better to ask clearly!
