my old life

Chapter 2265 Self-expression
I took out a cigarette and lit it, and the Buddha Qianxiao who had just left turned back, and my heart suddenly thumped!
I stood up subconsciously, I didn't know what to say, at this moment I was just following my instinctive choice.

"I forgot to say something just now, you feel really LOW wearing Issey Miyake!"

Fo Qianxiao dropped a sentence and left again. I looked down at the suit on my body. Doesn't it fit well?
Before I could say anything, Buddha Qianxiao had disappeared, I sat on the sofa and took a deep breath of the cigarette, then slowly exhaled the smoke with my head raised.

Obviously, Fu Qianxiao misunderstood my suit. This suit of Issey Miyake was completely a coincidence, but she happened to come across it.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Maybe it's not Issey Miyake's low suit, maybe I'm very low...

My second uncle never said before what it means for a woman to say that a man's clothes are LOW.

Time passed slowly, and at nine o'clock in the evening, Jennifer called me. The beach party was still going on, and the game was ready to start.

Obviously, not all the people attending the party this time were gamblers. The party was more like a place for all the attendants, and it was also a means of deceiving people.

"Hawkeye, would you like to stop by for a bite? There's a roast turkey at the party buffet."

"I'm not hungry, so why is your nickname White Ghost?" I asked curiously, I thought it was just a simple code name, but I didn't expect that Buddha Qianxiao also knew this name.

Generally, a nickname that is well known by many people either has a certain prestige in the world, or is full of evil!
"It's just a code name. If we don't eat, we'll go upstairs. Mike called for you to come over." Jennifer changed the subject lightly, and directly moved out of Mike to press me.

"Okay." I didn't continue to ask, but I was surprised that Fo Qianxiao knew the name of Mike the Thief, and also the name of Jennifer White Ghost.

I never asked Mike what they did, and no one told them about their past, but I think they should be more 'savage' than I thought!
I straightened my suit and followed Jennifer out of the lounge. Unexpectedly, Mike was standing at the door, looking like he was waiting for me.

"Mike." I took the initiative to say hello, always feeling like a routine.

"Are you feeling better?" Mike took the initiative to care, but I knew he was just being polite.

"I'm fine, I just felt uncomfortable because of the sea breeze blowing too much just now... I'm much better now!" I waved my hand to show that I'm fine, and I have to be considerate of others' face.

Mike standing here is giving me face. At the same time, he has no intention of letting me continue to rest here by standing here waiting for me.

"It's fine, let's go!" Mike greeted and left with a smile on his lips.

If Mike really cared about my situation, he would come in and ask, or just ask Jennifer to come over and ask... He stood at the door obviously to take me to the gambling game.

"Hawkeye, Mr. Frank is a person who likes the culture of Kyushu. I wonder if you can see the Feng Shui here?"

Mike put his arms around my shoulders. He said Feng Shui very lamely, but I knew he was afraid of the mysterious oriental civilization!
"I just understand a little bit. I can see some things, and I can't help some things I can't see."

I said an ambiguous sentence, which made it impossible for people to find faults and left room for myself. The initiative is in my own hands.

"Do your best!" Mike patted me on the shoulder and motioned me to go ahead.

It seems that walking the carpet at Mr. Sun's place has had a great influence on Mike. He should have heard of oriental Feng Shui, but he doesn't understand the mystery of it.

In fact, to put it bluntly, I am also a half-hearted person, I can only see some of the most basic and simple decorations, but I will not let Mike know about it!
There is no elevator in the manor house, only the stairs paved with white granite, which looks very high-end, but it feels too fancy.

"The layout of Fengshui is divided into outdoor and indoor. The outdoors pay attention to finding a good location near the mountains and rivers, while the indoor decoration pays attention to gathering luck and blocking evil spirits. It looks the same but is completely different."

I introduced them as I walked, and quietly hooked them, wondering if I could arouse their curiosity.

In fact, these were all nonsense heard by my second uncle after he drank too much. I couldn't understand them at the time, and I could only understand the literal meaning.

"Is there any difference?" Mike asked curiously, and Jennifer also came up, it seems that they both stepped on the hook!
"To put it simply, outdoor feng shui is much better than indoor feng shui. You need to understand the weather, geography and wind and luck. Indoor feng shui, you only need to figure out the location of the gossip."

I was seriously fooling them, Mike and Jennifer didn't understand this anyway, so I just said what I said?
"What's the outdoor Feng Shui like?" Jennifer asked curiously, and I knew she was asking for Mike at this moment.

Sometimes it is inconvenient for people with high status to ask questions all the time, because it will appear very low-level, and many things have to be done by people around them.

Just like big shots never accept gifts, many things are done by drivers or secretaries... The reason is the same.

"In the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, water produces gold. Generally, the most common is the pool fountain in front of the building, and the most common indoor is the fish tank... At the same time, it can be divided into living water and stagnant water."

I explained it to Jennifer in a serious way, and I actually said it to Mike.

"What is living water? What is stagnant water? It seems to be true!" Jennifer looked surprised, and had to say that she is a qualified assistant!

"Water that can flow is considered living water. Have you ever seen a pool of stagnant water in front of a building? There is no way to have a fountain at home, and a few fish are also living water."

I hooked them with the most common sinks and bathtubs in life, and both Mike and Jennifer listened with gusto because this is the most common Feng Shui layout.

Walking up the three-story staircase feels extraordinarily strenuous. It feels good to walk up the white granite steps, but it feels weird...

"Feng Shui contains a lot of things, and it won't be clear for a while...Look at this screen!"

At the corner of the third floor there is a screen style screen, which looks completely superfluous and just makes people turn a corner at the door.

"What's wrong with this screen?" Jennifer asked immediately, and she asked all the reasons for Mike.

"In feng shui, the screen is called blocking evil spirits. Qi is luck and evil spirits. Turning a corner allows people to get rid of bad luck on their bodies."

"Why can you just turn a corner and get rid of it?"

When I heard this, I couldn't help but go crazy, why did she have so many questions?It's like a real version of a hundred thousand whys!

"A person is alive or dead, can a person turn a corner?" I pretended to be mysterious and smiled, looking like an old man with a nose.

"Yes, yes, it seems to make sense." Jennifer kept nodding, and Mike listened thoughtfully, and it seemed that he was completely hooked!
In fact, the essence of this screen is not to block evil spirits, but to focus on the patterns on the screen.

"It's okay if there's nothing on the screen, and it's also good to have some landscapes or cranes, but the tiger is printed on it!"

Seeing this screen reminds me of the former Tiger City in Sioux City, where as soon as you enter the door, there is a huge screen with various majestic tiger patterns on it.

At that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong, but it gave people a bad feeling when I entered the door. Now I understand that it is a Feng Shui layout!

"Why is this screen a tiger? What's the point?" Mike took the initiative to ask this time, and he even forgot to ask Jennifer to do it for him.

"The mountains are wide and the water is thick, and the crane is the longevity and the tiger is the prestige. Entering the door here is not only to block the evil, but also to kill the prestige!"

"Who's the power to kill?" Jennifer asked first, and just after she said the words, she looked suddenly enlightened, even a fool knows it!
"Of course it's us!" I said with a smile. In fact, I felt something was wrong when I went up the stairs just now, so I turned my head back and took a look.

The white granite staircase looked nothing special. I measured the length and width of the steps with my hands, and thought that this could not be an Arhat ladder?
Generally, the height of the steps is gentle and the distance is appropriate, so that people can easily go upstairs, but each step here is wider and thicker!

A person's step distance is about the same. Here, you have to raise the angle and increase the range to go up the stairs, which will make people feel tired unconsciously.

This kind of Arhat style is generally seen in temples on the mountain. The steps are wider and higher, showing irregular asymmetry. Going up the mountain always feels more tiring than usual, which is caused by the surprise of the width.

"Is there any problem with the steps?" Jennifer asked in a low voice, with a trace of awe in her eyes, it seems that she has been completely confused by me.

"Mr. Frank here is not simple, I'm afraid he has some expert advice!" I made a fool of myself, because it is a typical de Gaulle routine to improve myself by flattering others.

"Why do you say that?" Jennifer changed her view of me. This kind of routine of guessing others is also the easiest routine to reveal flaws.

But just now I measured the steps with my hands. If I didn't find any problems, how dare I speak out?There must be some dry goods before the routine!

"Do you see that these steps are all the same height?" I pointed to the steps pretending to be mysterious, and I didn't say it just now to enhance the atmosphere at the moment.

"Is it different?" Jennifer squatted down and measured it with her hands. Through comparison, she could clearly see a deviation of about one centimeter.

"Have you ever seen uneven stairs? If you guessed right, there should be differences on each floor."

I have a confident guess that the steps of this staircase should be made according to the Fengshui pattern of Luohanti, otherwise there would not be such a big deviation...

This time, even Mike squatted down and measured the steps with his hands. He felt that he was very interested in Feng Shui, which could also increase my sense of mystery virtually!
I don’t know if that guy from Seven of Squares understands Feng Shui, but judging by Mike’s curiosity, he didn’t tell Mike even if he knew…
