There are generally only two situations when your face is foggy.
One is active, which requires that the other person is also a practitioner of metaphysics and knows the magic in this area. In order to prevent peers from seeing him clearly through his face, he chooses to hide it.
The other is passive, where someone else's face is hidden. For example, if I don't want others to see Wang Guofeng's face clearly, I can choose to help him hide it, even without Wang Guofeng himself knowing about it.
In the case of women, I prefer the second option. After all, at the end of the day, even if she doesn’t deliberately understand me, she will definitely know that I am a capable person.
She shouldn't be stupid enough to hide her face in front of me, like she stands out from the crowd. In my eyes, she is no different from the rest of the Wang family, and I won't be idle and look at everyone's face.
But when she does this, she reminds me that she has a problem and makes me deliberately observe it.
I had no intention of telling Wang Guofeng about this, at least, not until I determined the source of the problem.
I didn't sleep well that night. Many things kept bothering me in my mind. I wanted to sort them out, but I had no clue. This feeling was very annoying, so I didn't fall asleep until dawn.
I slept until almost three o'clock in the afternoon and didn't wake up until no one disturbed me. This is a good review!
After getting out of bed, I opened the door and saw the housekeeper Lao Xu standing outside.
He was still holding a brand new towel and toothbrush in his hand. When he saw me coming out, he greeted me with a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, the toiletries are ready for you. Do you want to eat lunch at home or go out?"
I'm not used to this feeling of a servant talking to his master: "How long have you been standing at the door?"
"About an hour," he said.
"Did Wang Guofeng ask you to do this?"
Lao Xu nodded: "Mr. Wang is currently processing a batch of newly arrived antiques in the store. It's almost the same. He will be back in half an hour."
"Don't stand around like this anymore. Do whatever you have to do. I'm not used to it." As I said that, I took the things in his hands and said, "Are there any leftovers at home? I can just eat some of them."
Lao Xu shook his head and said: "Sorry Mr. Chen, this is indeed not available."
"Then order takeout, some Shaxian Braised Chicken, whatever you want, I can do it."
After explaining, I went to the bathroom to wash up, and stopped by to make some hotpot. When I came out, there was already a takeaway on the kitchen table.
"So fast?" I opened it and ate it.
Lao Xu smiled and said, "I just called the store and they happened to have a dish out, so I asked them to rush it to Mr. Chen."
I opened the takeout and saw that the braised chicken had turned into lobster and abalone rice.
"In the store? The Wang family still has a restaurant business?"
Lao Xu nodded and said that Wang Guofeng had opened a three-star hotel in Jinling, and what I ate was the food in the hotel.
After chatting with Lao Xu for a few more words, I remembered what Zhixi said last night about severing the father-daughter relationship with Wang Guofeng. I couldn't help but worry and asked, "Where is Zhixi? He didn't break up with Mr. Wang, did he?"
Lao Xu smiled and said: "Mr. Lao Chen, forget it. The eldest lady has always had this temper. She often quarreled with Mr. Wang. After each quarrel, the two sides would have a cold war for several days, no more than a week at most, and the father and daughter would start fighting again.
reconcile."
"Early this morning, I had already sent the eldest daughter to school. Because of this disappearance, Mr. Wang was particularly concerned about the eldest daughter and asked me to pick her up and drop her off every day."
"It's not easy for you, Mr. Wang, to be such a big man and to have people worry about you all day long." I said while eating.
Lao Xu smiled and agreed. At this time, his cell phone rang. After Lao Xu picked up the phone, he hung up after saying a few words, and then said to me: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang just called and said that he was coming from the store.
After a big deal, he couldn't get away for a while."
"Mr. Wang said, if you want to go to the Wang Family Feng Shui Hall, let me take you there."
"Big business? How big is it?" I asked curiously.
Lao Xu shook his head: "Mr. Wang didn't say it, but what he can call a big business is at least five million or more."
"Hey, that's quite big. I won't bother him anymore. Just take me there."
After dinner, we went out and got in the car. On the way, I remembered that Lao Xu had to pick up Zhixi from school, so I said, "By the way, Lao Xu, what time will you pick up Zhixi?"
Lao Xu looked at the time on the car and said, "In an hour, at nine o'clock in the evening, we have to send her to school for self-study, and then pick her up from school."
"Then how many times do you have to pick her up this day?" I laughed.
"It depends on the situation, maybe three or four times a day."
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's an extraordinary period, so it's good to be more rigorous."
Then, I asked some more about the woman last night, but Lao Xu didn’t know much about the woman. He only said that she was a woman Wang Guofeng met in the business world.
Nowadays, that woman is in charge of most of the business of the antique store. She is considered the store manager. She usually lives in the store and rarely comes back.
After chatting all the way, the car stopped at the entrance of an alley in the old town of Jinling City.
The ancestral home of the Wang family is in the alley, and the Feng Shui Hall is next to the ancestral home. We got out of the car and walked into the alley.
Although it is an old city that is waiting for demolition, compared with the tall buildings rising from the ground in the new city, the low bungalows on both sides of the old alleys give it a more human atmosphere.
When we arrived in front of the Wang family's ancestral home, Lao Xu specially invited me in for a tour.
Strangely, the interior of the Wang family's ancestral residence is in a typical late Qing Dynasty style, with blue tiles, white walls, and cornices and arches, but its exterior is quite modern, with an electronic security door installed.
I asked Lao Xu what was going on, and Lao Xu said that the ancestral home was bombarded by Japanese artillery shells, and the ancestors of the Wang family fled Jinling with their families in order to take refuge.
When the incident passed and the Wang family ancestors wanted to move back, the ownership of the house inexplicably fell into the hands of foreigners.
In this way, after decades of struggling, Mr. Wang's generation finally got the ownership of the house back and renovated the facade.
After leaving the gate of the ancestral house, we came to the Wang Family Feng Shui Hall, which was only ten meters away next door.
Compared with the facade of the ancestral house, the facade of this Feng Shui Hall looks a lot more like that of a young family, and it has not been specially renovated.
Lao Xu made a gesture of invitation to me. I took out the key, stepped forward, took two deep breaths, and opened the door.
Entering it, a cold wind blew in my face. I stood there for a while and did not notice any physical discomfort. Instead, there was a slight warmth flowing on my body.
Thinking about it, this is the luck of the Wang family at work in the Feng Shui Hall.
Before Lao Xu entered the door, he reminded me that there was a light switch on the wall, and I reached out and turned it on.
The old incandescent lamp flickered on and off, flickering for a while before it stabilized, and I could clearly see the scene in the Feng Shui Hall.
The area of the Feng Shui Hall is not large, only about twenty square meters from front to back. There is only a counter, a few wooden stools, and an Eight Immortals table in the room.
According to Lao Xu, the Feng Shui Hall has not been used for a long time, and all the objects used for Feng Shui were returned to the ancestral home. If I need them, he can get them for me.
I waved my hand and said no, and then I set my eyes on the stairs leading to the second floor.
"What's on the second floor?" I said, about to step forward.
At this time, Lao Xu shouted excitedly outside the door: "Mr. Chen! You can't go to the second floor!" This chapter has been completed!
