Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 169: One Destiny, Two Luck, Three Feng Shui
"Your Highness the King of Jin, the construction of the first section of the canal from the Yellow River to the Huaihe River has begun. Civil servants from all over the country have heard that they can receive salaries for opening rivers for Your Highness. Not only those who need to do corvee work, but also those who are not doing corvée work. Everyone wanted to participate, but Wei Chen saw that the number of people had exceeded expectations, so he rejected some of them. His Highness the King of Jin was wise, so personnel is no longer a problem."

On the surface Magu flattered Yang Guang, but in his heart he was secretly cursing Yang Guang: "This coin-throwing King Jin has so much money to support, what can he do to these common people, and he can't even pay for it with my hands? Don’t be corrupt even if you want to be.”

Magu nodded and bowed, Yang Guang smiled slightly, very satisfied with the current progress, and then said: "Ma Gu, just keep doing it, step by step."

Magu looked troubled: "But Your Highness, the mountain top where the Bai family's ancestral tomb is located has not yet been negotiated. If we want to change the route, we must negotiate the route in advance. If we dig it down to the bottom of the mountain and then change it, it will be difficult to sail the boat."

Yang Guang sighed helplessly: "I will make a decision within half a month. Before that, you can just dig normally."

After Magu left, Yang Guang asked Yuan Tiantian with some distress: "Is your statement feasible? The Bai family doesn't seem to believe what you said."

"Your Highness, there is no certainty about this matter. I took a look at His Highness's canal plan before. If His Highness's canal is diverted, they can divert water to activate the Long Snake Water Drawing Formation. So I told them that man-made diversion will affect Feng Shui. He If they believe it, they will naturally recruit people to take a look. With my words, if they ask any Feng Shui master whether man-made diversion will affect Feng Shui, the answer they will get is yes."

"Hey, I don't understand what you are talking about. Is Feng Shui really trustworthy?"

Yuan Tiantian said seriously: "Your Highness, one is destiny, two is luck, and three are feng shui. Feng shui changes the pattern and can cause changes to a certain extent, but it is a fool's dream to expect that feng shui can completely change destiny."

"The Bai family's long snake water-drawing formation."

"The formation is a good formation, and it is indeed the formation of the superior Wang clan, but it only requires the talents of the descendants of the clan. Bai Ting himself and his brothers are the real contributors to the prosperity of the Bai family. No, the children and grandchildren in the future are not as capable as they are. In recent years, the family has begun to weaken, and then I thought of changing the feng shui. If the children and grandchildren are capable, there is no need to think about these things."

Yang Guang looked at Yuan Tiantian curiously: "You can see it very clearly. One destiny, two luck and three feng shui, so what is my destiny?"

As soon as he was asked about it, Yuan Tiantian fell silent again: "Your Highness's fate, I am not very capable, but I can't bear to see it."

"Slide."

Yang Guang got up and took people to see the situation in the shipyard.

……

In the blink of an eye, ten days later

A carriage stopped at the door of Yang Guang's mansion, and an old man slowly stepped out of the carriage, it was Bai Ting.

With the support of his son, he walked to the mansion and knocked gently on the door. The servants of the mansion welcomed him in.

"Master Bai, why are you free today? Please sit down quickly."

"Bai Ting, a common man, has met His Highness the King of Jin."

"Master Bai, you're welcome. Come sit down and watch tea every day."

Yuan Tiantian brought tea, but Bai Ting didn't dare to accept it, and immediately said: "Miss Yuan, how can I ask you to help me pour tea? You have defeated me."

Bai Ting was surprisingly respectful to Yuan Tiantian. After all, Yuan Tiantian explained their family's situation clearly in just a few words. He recently found a dozen Feng Shui masters, set up an altar with their practices, and entertained them with delicious food and drinks. Finally, he came up with the idea The conclusion is almost the same as that of Yuan Tiantian, which makes Bai Ting even more convinced of Yuan Tiantian's statement.

And Yuan Tiantian was just a servant in Yang Guang's place, being ordered around. He couldn't figure out why a person like Yuan Tiantian would work as a maid for Yang Guang.

Two possibilities have been analyzed before. First, Yuan Tiantian is Yang Guang's woman, and she only shows herself as a personal maid.

Second, Yang Guang does not believe in things like Feng Shui, so he does not understand the value of Yuan Tiantian, which is a humiliation.

Although he felt that the second possibility was unlikely, but with the intention of giving it a try, Bai Ting came over today and said to Yang Guang with a smile: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, since I last saw Miss Yuan, I have felt that We are very close to each other. My granddaughter is the same age as Miss Yuan. If possible, I would like to adopt Miss Yuan as my adopted daughter and live happily together. I wonder if His Highness will allow it."

Yang Guang's expression did not change, but his words were firm: "You are used to following me every day. I can't get used to her absence, so I would like to thank the Bai family master for his kindness on Tiantian's behalf."

"Naturally, things that are natural and destined cannot be forced."

"Master Bai, try this tea of ​​mine. It's very fragrant."

Bai Ting picked up the tea, smelled it, and took a sip: "Your Highness's tea is indeed good tea."

Yang Guang then talked to Bai Ting about tea knowledge, what kind of tea is good, and talked a lot of nonsense, and then Bai Ting couldn't help but speak. "Your Highness, I met you and Miss Yuan last time. After hearing what Miss Yuan said, I felt like I was enlightened. Today I came here specifically to ask for advice from Miss Yuan."

Yang Guang looked at Yuan Tiantian, and then smiled slightly: "I wonder what the Bai family master wants to ask?"

"I didn't dare to hide it from Your Highness, so I told him straight away. Miss Yuan said that day that the Long Snake Jiushui Wang Clan has reached its limit. Feng shui has changed, and mountains and rivers have changed. The best way is to move graves, and the worst way is to change the situation, but the girl also After saying that something uncontrollable might happen after Yi Shi, the old man is worried and wonders if the girl can help him solve his doubts."

"Hahaha, Master Bai, Tiantian is just a little girl who can't do what she says and can't do it. Don't mess around every day."

"No, no, no, your highness, Miss Yuan, can tell everything after a few glances. She is truly a powerful person. I am here to ask for advice, and I also ask Miss Yuan for help."

Yang Guang and Yuan Tiantian looked at each other, and then said slightly seriously: "Tiantian, since Master Bai has something to ask you, please answer everything truthfully. Master Bai is my friend, so you must not tell any lies. "

"The servant can save it."

Bai Ting was flattered and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Yang Guang sat down and made a gesture of invitation, and Bai Ting asked Yuan Tiantian: "Miss Yuan, what you said about uncontrollable things that may happen after the change of position is that something uncontrollable may happen."

Yuan Tiantian showed hesitation and then said: "Man-made changes in trends and changes in natural trends are mostly fake mountains and fake waters, which cost a lot of money, but often have little effect. The best result is to slightly delay the decline of the formation, and the high probability result is that there will be no The effect may also have a small probability of having the opposite effect, but instead sucking away all the luck."

"Why does it suck away luck?" Bai Ting looked worried.

"Feng shui, especially the feng shui of tombs, looks at the overall situation, but at a corner. The previous long snake water-drawing formation was because there was only water flowing around the Shekou, and people would draw water when passing by. But now the water source has dried up, and it has to be drawn from other places. If the water source is connected to a certain water source, it may be washed away by other water sources and the luck in the formation will be washed away. Of course, this is a small probability, but no one can guarantee what the final change of the water source will look like after the water source is connected."

Bai Ting was slightly worried. Yuan Tiantian didn't say what would happen. He only said that there was a small probability that something bad would happen, but that was enough. It was related to the family's plans, and they were very worried even if there was the smallest probability. .

"Miss Yuan, our ancestral tombs want to be relocated, but we have never found any good place to move them. I also hope that you can explore it for us."

Yang Guang immediately refused: "Master Bai, you are with me every day. I am not used to being without her, so let's forget about it."

Bai Ting knew that he could not force others to make things difficult, and he could not afford to offend Yang Guang, so he could only say with a shy smile: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, if the ancestral tombs of our Bai family are moved, it will also be of great benefit to His Highness's canal. Your Highness can Go straight through the mountains.”

Yang Guang refused: "I have already decided on a detour. It is not good to change it now. Moreover, the number of relocation of the tomb is not yet determined. I have changed it now. When the time comes, you will not move the tomb, and I will have to change it again." , doesn’t this add a lot of obstacles to my affairs?”

Bai Ting said in surprise: "Your Highness has decided to change the route?"

"kindness."

Bai Ting didn't expect that Yang Guang would decide to change the route within ten days, but when he thought about it, it seemed wrong. Magu didn't tell him. If he really decided to change the route, Magu would definitely tell him. Then he thought about it. It was Yang Guang who was deliberately deceiving himself.

After thinking about it, Bai Ting said: "In that case, I'll take my leave first. I hope it's no surprise that I've disturbed His Highness today."

"Tiantian, help me deliver to the Bai family."

Yuan Tiantian sent Bai Ting to the door. Before Bai Ting left, he asked: "Girl, is there any other way to help my family? Don't worry, girl, there will be a big thank you in the family."

Yuan Tiantian said distressedly: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just a matter of the canal. Your Highness has to say it, and you don't even need to report it to Your Majesty. Your Highness is a steadfast person. Once Your Highness decides, nothing can be changed. Now, although Your Highness wants to change the course of the river, , but in fact, it has not been fully discussed with the subordinates. If the Bai family leader really wants to move the grave, he must make a decision as soon as possible."

"Hey, but moving a grave can't be that fast. I also want to be a favor and let His Highness open the river, but the long snake water-drawing formation cannot be moved until a suitable place is found."

"This formation is useless. If Your Highness is allowed to drive across the river, your ancestral tomb is on the mountainside. Although it is not a good formation, at least it has a mountain with the water on its back. It is considered a good Feng Shui situation. Ships will be prosperous, and it may be even more prosperous. "

Bai Ting knew that Yuan Tiantian was working as a lobbyist for Yang Guang, but he felt that what she said made sense. At least he could be a favor to Yang Guang by nodding Kaishan. Although Yang Guang didn't say anything, he was vaguely offended. Yang Guang.

After getting to know him during this period, he found that Yang Guang was not someone who was easy to offend. Before entering Luoyang City, blood spattered the city gate, and even Yuan Xiaoju did not dare to say a word.

He immediately resigned, got on the carriage and ordered with his entourage: "Let's go find Magu."
