Chapter 61: Chinese New Year, high school entrance examination

Views:

"Since you are not, then I can feel free to beat you. Shu Mark, Hao Geng"

Xia Shao's leisurely tone made the atmosphere in the entire private room suffocate. Before anyone could react to this sentence, even before they could feel funny or angry, Xia Shao took action. .

She waved her hand, and an unopened bottle of red wine was thrown to the ground with a roar. Du Xing reacted quickly and immediately stepped aside.

The red wine mixed with glass shards suddenly exploded and splashed all over the floor. The sound was harsh, and several gangsters who couldn't dodge were affected. Their necks and cheeks were also scratched by the glass shards. , looks no better than Chen Manguan and Sun Changde.

"Damn it! What the hell..."

Du Xing cursed, but before he could finish cursing, Xia Shao turned over and jumped directly over the round table!

She moved extremely fast, and her body seemed to draw a white arc above the table. It was obviously like lightning, but it was shaped like flowing water and clouds, and she was so powerful! Before his body fell down, Du Xing was kicked out by her!

This kick was full of hidden power, how could Du Xing resist it? He slammed into the wall, and suddenly he felt dizzy, and his chest and abdomen ached. What was even worse was that when he fell, he happened to fall into the puddle of glass shards from the wine bottles, and his exposed hands suddenly became numb. He was stabbed so badly that he was bleeding profusely.

Only then did the people in the private room react. Several waiters ran out in panic. The people Du Xing brought were furious and rushed towards Xia Shao, yelling and cursing.

"Stop! Stop! Stop everyone!"

The scene was in chaos. I don’t know who was shouting to stop. Who was listening at this time? Du Xing brought a total of five or six people. A group of men surrounded Xia Shao, but they were like kittens. They were not enough to fight. They were knocked down by her in a few times. They fell to the ground in a mess, howling and unable to get up.

Du Xing couldn't get up either. Xia Shao's kick just now was too hard. He fell to the ground now. He knew that there was glass debris under him, but he couldn't get up. He only felt that his eyes were black and his chest was hurting. , a taste that almost makes you vomit.

"stop!"

At this time, someone shouted to stop again, and the group of people who were lying on the ground moved away. They were all stunned when they saw it - the person shouting stop turned out to be Li Xin.

It was only then that someone discovered that those who fell on the ground were all Duxing's people, while Li Xin's people were all standing behind him, and no one dared to move.

Du Xing was still dizzy and couldn't see clearly, but he recognized Li Xin's voice and shouted feebly: "Li, Brother Li, hurry up... avenge your brother! It's this boy... Mom Yes! This bitch... I'm going to destroy her!"

"Who will I destroy? I will fucking destroy you!" Li Xin suddenly raised his foot angrily and kicked Du Xing in the chest!

Du Xing had already been kicked by Xia Shao, but he could not withstand the kick and almost fainted without opening his eyes. He coughed and almost spit out blood. He couldn't figure out what was going on

Li Xin didn't have the time to explain to him. He stepped forward and apologized repeatedly to Xia Shao, who looked over with raised eyebrows, "Miss Xia, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! This friend of mine is not a native of Dongshi. I don't know. That Mr. Sun was a friend of Miss Xia, so he took advantage of it. The brothers didn't know it either. If they knew he was Miss Xia's friend, they wouldn't have clashed with each other. You, you see... "

"Are you from the Anqin Hui?" Xia Shao asked.

"Uh, yes. The brothers are just making ends meet. They can't impress Miss Xia, so please show your respect." Li Xin almost kowtowed.

He had joined the gang not long ago, just over three years ago, but he had never heard of anyone in the gang who ordered the entire gang to treat him like a guest. Everyone in the Dongshi Gang knew that Xia Shao broke into Yitian that day, but not many people saw what happened that day with their own eyes, and he was one of them. He saw with his own eyes that Xia Shao walked all the way from the door to the eighth floor, was invited into the reception room by his elder brother, and finally walked down completely.

After that day, one of the gangsters died, and eight people moved away from Dongshi with their families.

After that day, there were more gang rules in the gang. Anyone who messed with Miss Xia would be punished by the gang rules!

After that day, at least everyone in the gang had seen Miss Xia's portrait, in case they didn't recognize her when they met. But he was particularly impressed because he had met her that day.

When he saw her tonight, he cried out in his heart, why was he so unlucky to meet this great god! So he quickly apologized and explained the situation, hoping that she would let them go and not tell her eldest brother about it. Otherwise, the gang rules will deal with it, and they will be disabled even if they are not dead.

Unexpectedly, Xia Shao just nodded and took out his mobile phone, "Hello? Boss Gao."

As soon as she said these words, Li Xin's face turned pale, and the people behind him also had dead expressions on their faces.

However, I heard Xia Shao continue: "I found that person, he is not from the gang. You don't need to ask the people below to do the work. Thank you."

After that, Xia Shao hung up the phone, and Li Xin and the others hadn't reacted yet. After a while, a few people's faces had a bit of life, and they said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Xia, for your generous hand! Brothers, I will remember your kindness. If there is any need for us in the future, just ask. , my brothers are going through fire and water, absolutely without any hesitation!"

Xia Shao nodded lightly, with an indifferent expression, "Ignorance is not a crime, it's nothing. You can take them away and prevent them from coming to Dongshi in the future."

Li Xin immediately agreed and quickly led people to drag Du Xing and several of his brothers away. These people were quite good at doing things. After leaving, they appeased the hotel manager and compensated for the damaged items. They also asked the hotel to open another VIP room and re-ordered the dishes that Xia Shao and the others originally ordered. Once again, I paid the order and then left.

Xia Shao, Chen Manguan, and Sun Changde changed rooms, and when they sat down in front of a table of dishes, they obviously didn't feel the same way as before. Neither of them expected that Xia Shao was so skilled!

Boss, are you capable of everything

Xia Shao didn't know what the two employees were thinking. She was sighing at a table of expensive dishes.

Chen Manguan and Sun Changde thought she had no appetite after what happened just now.

Xia Shao sighed and said, "I feel sorry for that table of food. It's good, but it's just ruined. How much food is wasted."

Chen Manguan: "..."

Sun Changde: "..."

Boss, your focus is wrong!

During the winter vacation, Xia Shaolei returned to Shili Village the next day due to his unbreakable habit.

Xu Tianyin was going back to the capital after the New Year, and he didn't have much time to live in the mountains. Xia Shao spent most of the day in the mountain house, bickering with his master when he had nothing to do, and dragging his senior brother to have sex on the plum blossom pile in the backyard. , the days are very interesting.

This is interesting, naturally because Xia Shao discovered some interesting habits of Xu Tianyin.

He gets up at six o'clock every morning and meditates in Master's courtyard. Seven big trees were planted in the yard according to the seven stars. He changed one tree every day from Monday to weekend. In the breakfast prepared for Master, there must be oats on Monday, milk on Tuesday, soy milk on Wednesday, red bean porridge on Thursday, mung bean porridge on Friday, rice porridge on Saturday, and eight-treasure porridge on Sunday!

When Xia Shao discovered this habit of his, she couldn't help biting her lip and holding back her smile for a long time - Do you want to be so rigid? Although I am surprised that you can cook porridge, senior brother, but do you want to be so mechanical as to repeat equations? Don’t you think Master is pitiful

Xia Shao became playful and tried to disrupt Xu Tianyin's habit. She snatched the first tree where he meditated on Monday and drove him to the third tree on Tuesday. As a result, he didn't feel any discomfort and didn't resist. He went to her designated place obediently. meditating under a tree. But when Xia Shao went home for something, he found that his habit had returned...

Xia Shao felt a little interesting about this. She felt that her senior brother was an alien body and needed to be studied.

However, she didn't have much time to study because the New Year was coming soon.

The day before the New Year, Xia Shao's parents, uncle and aunt all returned to their hometown. Over the years, it has been an old habit at home. Li Juan came back early in the morning of the 29th year to help her mother-in-law Jiang Shuhui. The two of them were busy all day without touching the floor. It was not until the evening that the uncle and sister-in-law took the Daughter comes back.

Xia Shao's cousin Xia Rongxue is only six years old during the Chinese New Year. She has a fair face, like a little bun, and is very cute. He is just a little timid, afraid of strangers, and not very talkative. This appearance and character are very similar to Xia Shao's previous life when she was a child, and the development of this character is also related to her grandfather Xia Guoxi's preference for boys over girls.

Xia Guoxi had always hoped that his daughter-in-law would give birth to a grandson for the old Xia family, but when she was born as a granddaughter, he didn't like her daughter-in-law very much.

Jiang Qiulin's temperament has never been one to accept anger. She always finds fault with her father-in-law, so she has never come back to visit the old man in these years, and she rarely sees Xia Rongxue. Except for Chinese New Year and holidays, Xia Shao basically doesn't see this little one. Cousin.

My brother-in-law Xia Zhitao just started a building materials business with a partner last year. He has made a lot of money. The family has some savings and his waist has straightened. In the past, when he came back, he would rub his hands, laugh, cry about poverty, and ask the elderly for money. Now when he came back, he said with a smile: "Mom, Dad, brother and sister-in-law, I'm busy with business, so don't mind if I come back late." As he said this, he called to his wife, "Hurry up and help mom and sister-in-law! No. Keep your eyes peeled!"

Jiang Qiulin glared at him and curled her lips, but a smile appeared on her lips, and she slowly adjusted her fur coat, "Didn't I just enter the house? You have to ask me to change clothes, right?"

Fur is popular these days, and there are many leather clothing shops on the streets. Many people like to buy leather clothing to wear during the Chinese New Year. But the price of the leather jacket was not cheap, costing four to five thousand yuan. In 1997, it was considered a luxury item for ordinary people's homes.

Jiang Qiulin deliberately showed off her fur coat. Li Juan was walking around the pot, glanced at her, smiled and said nothing. She has always been diligent and thrifty, so naturally she would not buy such expensive clothes. Moreover, she felt that she could not look like a lady in such expensive clothes, so she simply did not envy them.

If Xia Shao knew her mother's thoughts at this time, she would definitely smile and raise her eyebrows - is this the temperament of a noble lady? This is the temperament of the nouveau riche!

Xia Shao smiled secretly and shook her head. She always believed that comfort comes first when dressing. She had never thought of buying this kind of clothes for her mother. Although her assets at this time were not to mention a piece of fur, it would not be a problem to buy the entire fur shop in Dongshi. But so what? These clothes are not suitable for my mother, and they are not beautiful to buy. The most beautiful thing is to wear clothes that are comfortable, simple and suitable for you.

She had long wanted to buy some clothes for her mother, but in her mother's eyes, she was still spending family money, but she had to explain to her elders where the money for the clothes came from. I should wait until the exam is over, explain my affairs to my parents, then buy a house for my family, and then persuade my mother to quit her job. After working so hard for so many years, it was time for her to take a break and enjoy some peace and quiet.

The customs of celebrating the New Year are different between the north and the south. Xia Shao's family is in the north. According to the local custom, they eat dumplings on New Year's Eve and stay up all night. After the New Year's Eve dinner, we started to go from house to house in the village to pay New Year greetings.

Over the years, Xia Shao had become accustomed to spending the New Year's Eve dinner with her family and then going to the mountains to accompany her master. The master's legs and feet were inconvenient, and although he could cook the food himself, Xia Shao felt sad whenever she thought of him having no children and spending the new year in a deserted state, so she became even more filial to the old man and always wanted to spend more time with him. , let him not say that his family is full of children and grandchildren, but he can also be blessed with happiness.

Xu Tianyin was on the mountain this year. The two of them went to the city early to buy new year's goods before the Chinese New Year. Xia Shao even made dumplings long ago and sent them to the mountain for the master.

This year both disciples were here. Tang Zongbo was very happy. He had not drank for many years and drank a lot. After that, he went to the door in a wheelchair and watched Xia Shao drag Xu Tianyin to the yard to set off fireworks.

A lonely man like Xu Tianyin was completely incompatible with bright and lively things like fireworks. He just stood next to Xia Shao, like a gorgeous and beautiful human sculpture. Fortunately, this human sculpture can move. When Xia Shao was about to light the fireworks, he took the fire from her hand, lit it and protected her back. After the fireworks took off, he looked at the smile on her face. Stand aside and continue to be a human sculpture.

It wasn't until Xia Shao had seen enough fireworks that Xu Tianyin went to the backyard. When he came back, he spread his hands and said, "Here."

Xia Shao's eyes fell on his palm, and her eyes suddenly brightened up - what a beautiful hosta!

What Xu Tianyin is holding is a finely carved white jade hairpin with extremely beautiful shape and a lifelike little fox. He squinted his eyes and had a lazy attitude. He rested his head on his tail, and the tip of his tail was extended to become a hairpin.

This jade looks like old jade at first glance. It is quite old. There is a layer of slightly yellow jade skin on the outside, but it does not hinder the beauty of the hairpin. Instead, it has an ancient charm of time. The little fox also seems to be wearing a layer of slightly yellow coat, silk. Silk gold strands, distinct hair, full of aura and charm.

Xia Shao took it and loved it. Old jade is harder to find than new jade, difficult to identify and value, and it has a price but no market. Moreover, this hosta looks like a magic weapon at first glance! Hairpins have been cultivated in places full of good luck. Wearing them on your body has the advantage of attracting good luck and avoiding bad luck!

only…

Xia Shao raised her eyes, slightly confused, "Senior brother, why did you give me a fox? In Feng Shui, foxes attract romance, and this white jade fox has the most magic power."

Moreover, this thing is also a magic weapon. Is it going to make her love blossom all over the world

Xu Tianyin looked at Xia Shao with his clear black and white eyes, "I carved it, I raised it."

"Um?"

"My vitality." Xu Tianyin smiled, briefly, but with beautiful lips. He walked behind Xia Shao, looked at her hair, and then moved his hands.

Xia Shao didn't pay attention to his movements, but was only attracted by his words. She turned her head and asked with a provocative smile: "You carved it, you raised it, your vitality? Do you want to be my peach blossom?"

"You left out two words, Zhenggong." Xu Tianyin took the hosta from Xia Shao's hand. His slender fingers had clear joints and accidentally touched her warm neck, which was slightly cold.

Xia Shao seemed to have gotten to know the man behind her again. She suddenly realized that it was better when he wasn't smiling. When he smiled, it was completely bad.

When her neck felt cold and she felt the coldness, she was stunned. She touched her hair with her hand and it actually curled up.

She was really stunned - after two lifetimes, she was once a complete little woman in her heart. She had the dream that every woman has. She hoped that one day, she would meet her husband and tie up her long hair in person.

But she didn't meet her in her previous life. As she grew older and more experienced, she smiled at this thought. Love is not everything in life. Even if there is no such person, life will still go on, and you still have to marry at the age you should marry.

The helplessness of ordinary life, the helplessness of most women.

But in this life, since her character had changed a lot, she suddenly became enlightened. Why be helpless? There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, illness, and death. One of them is not getting what you want. Since you can’t ask for it, it’s better not to ask for it. We met, it was fate. If you can't find it, then you will be alone and look for something else.

For parents and for ourselves, there are too many things to do in life, and love is not the only thing.

In this life until now, Xia Shao did think so and did so. And she has passed the age when little girls look forward to falling in love. For her, it is a great sense of accomplishment to watch herself go higher and further every day, to see with her own eyes that she is different from her previous life every day. thing.

She likes this sense of accomplishment, and love has long been forgotten by her.

However, God likes to tease people. When she doesn't care about emotional matters, is it possible that fate will come

Xu Tianyin, her senior brother, was a man she was somewhat interested in but didn't understand. I only know that he looks cold, but he is affectionate at heart. He looks aloof, but he is very good at taking care of others. He seems to be a rigid person, but he can play tricks. He even gave her a Feng Shui fox with the intention of becoming her. The right relationship

More importantly, on this New Year's Eve, he tied her hair with his own hands, fulfilling her dream from her previous life without her even expecting it.

Could it be that senior brother is really the destiny of her life

This question stirred up Xia Shao's heart that had not been shaken for a long time. It also made her spend several days thinking about the fact that she should have enjoyed the joyful atmosphere in the New Year, but she wasted all her time on this. .

After thinking about it for several days, Xu Tianyin was going back to the capital.

Xia Shao could tell that he came from a noble family, and it was unbelievable that such a family would allow him to celebrate the New Year in another place. She remembered that Qin Hanlin once mentioned that he wanted him to return to work. Although he did not mention what position it was, Xia Shao suddenly became enlightened the moment Xu Tianyin left Dongshi.

It is undeniable that the two are indeed quite destined, but even if they are destined, they may not be able to get together. This is the reality.

Apart from anything else, the family backgrounds of the two are very different. Although she does not feel inferior about this, it is not unreasonable for people to say that they are well-matched. Comparable backgrounds mean that the experience, knowledge, experiences and values are the same. This will reduce a lot of friction in the relationship between the two people, which is good for the maintenance of the relationship.

Now is not the time for her to consider this issue. Neither her age nor the relationship between the two has reached that level yet.

In her previous life, Xia Shao worked hard in the company and understood a truth: if you want to get better, you can only be better yourself.

It is always better for women to be kind to themselves. Instead of spending time looking for a man, it is better to leave time for yourself and strengthen yourself.

Xia Shao smiled and waved to Xu Tianyin. In the rearview mirror, the girl smiled leisurely and put her hands in her trouser pockets. After seeing the car driving away, she turned around with a smile and walked away slowly.

In the car, the man stared at the girl's back in the rearview mirror, his eyebrows slightly furrowed and his eyes deepening. Then, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. Qin Hanlin's voice of surprise came from the other end of the phone.

"You actually called me? You actually called me!"

Ignoring Qin Hanlin's noise, Xu Tianyin said: "I have decided on the appointment."

After Xu Tianyin returned to the capital, Xia Shao focused on the high school entrance examination. There are still six months of exams left. Although her grades are good and the courses have always been easy for her, she still doesn't want to relax.

When school started, something happened in the class—Xu Wenli transferred to another school.

Xu Wenli's transfer of schools was so quiet that even Zhao Jing, her best friend, didn't know about it.

On the first day of school, the class teacher announced that Xu Wenli had transferred away, and the class was in an uproar. Everything is fine, the high school entrance examination is about to take place. Why did you transfer to another school at this time

No one knew that Xu Wenli not only transferred schools, but also moved her family away from Dongshi. No one knew where their family had moved.

This matter actually started with the farce between Xu Zhihai and Mrs. Wu at the door of Fu Ruixiang that day. After this incident, when Xu Zhihai returned home that day, he called his daughter and asked: "Honestly, have you offended Xia Shao?"

Xu Wenli was shocked and scared. She thought her father knew that she had someone beat up Xia Shao's father. But she didn't dare to admit it. After pretending to be stupid, she realized that her father actually didn't know anything at all. She wanted to know, in this case, why did her father suddenly ask about Xia Shao? But she didn't dare to ask any more questions for fear of arousing her father's suspicion.

Seeing that his daughter refused to admit it, Xu Zhihai sighed. How could he not see that his daughter was lying? But he thought it might just be a small conflict between classmates. This kind of thing happened all the time in school. At most, his daughter couldn't get along with Xia Shao, so what else could happen

Thinking of what Xia Shao said, Xu Zhihai felt that he might be overly concerned.

But after that day, Xu Zhihai found that he was getting worse and worse.

Originally, because his wife was hospitalized in a car accident, he took care of her and went to work at the same time. He was mentally tired, and he got tired very easily! At work, it is inevitable that he will make some mistakes. It didn't matter much in the past, but the leader seemed to be suddenly targeting him. He always made small mistakes and went online. He was called on several times in meetings and publicly criticized. This was extremely embarrassing for him, who had been a director for several years and had some dignity.

At first, Xu Zhihai comforted himself that after all, he made the mistake first. However, he later discovered that the leader was simply looking for trouble. Even the minor mistakes made by his subordinates were labeled as poor leadership!

Finally, before the Chinese New Year, he was caught in the wrong place again. This time, he was removed from the position of director of the Secretariat and was transferred to a small town under Dongshi City as a clerk!

Xu Zhihai's career has been stable since he started working. He has never suffered such a big setback, and he couldn't accept it for a while. While his wife was recuperating from an injury, the position of manager was taken over by a subordinate. She was already in a bad mood. When she heard that her husband had been demoted, she couldn't bear it even more and cried all day long. The couple quarreled all day long over this matter, and they never had a happy year.

After the New Year, Xu Zhihai felt that he had no face to stay in Dongshi anymore, and he had to go to a small town no matter how unwilling he was. Although he can serve alone and let his wife and daughter continue to live in Dongshi. It's not far away anyway, he can just come back on weekends and holidays.

But Xu Zhihai's wife felt shameless. They were all acquaintances in Dongshi. How could she still go out to meet people

Xu Wenli felt that the sky was falling. She didn't know what was going on! Originally, she had a father who was a director and a mother who was a manager in the company. Her family was well off and she was envied and surrounded by her peers. She originally thought she could continue like this. But these things... How can they be gone

Let her go to the countryside to study? She doesn't want it!

But what if I don’t want to? Do you want to be laughed at in class

Xu Wenli and her mother cried and cried. No matter how unwilling they were, they followed Xu Zhihai to the towns below. The family moved away, but even a friend was too embarrassed to notify them.

Xu Wenli transferred to another school, Zhao Jing had no playmates, and no one was encouraging her behind her back. She didn't dare to cause trouble to Xia Shao anymore, because her family was not quiet either. My father was hospitalized, my mother was unfamiliar with the company, and most of the business was robbed. By the time my father returned home from the hospital to recuperate, the company had been severely damaged and could not recover, so it had to maintain its business. Fortunately, their family still has shares in the Zhao Family Kiln, but they have to look at the aunt's sarcastic face every day.

Zhao Jing felt that she was really tired during this period. A lot of things happened, and she had nothing to show off to others or be jealous of the good relationship between Xia Shao and Yuan Shao.

However, after Xu Wenli's family moved away, Xia Shao went to her original community at night and solved the Feng Shui array. After all, she didn't want to harm the future owner of this house. When leaving Xu Wenli's home, Xia Shao also stopped by Zhao Jing's community and solved the Feng Shui array outside her home.

The father's injuries have been healed, the two families have been punished, and the matter is over.

After that, Xia Shao prepared for the exam with peace of mind. She left the affairs of Fu Ruixiang Antique Shop and Huaxia Auction Company to Chen Manguan and Sun Changde. There will be the second summer auction in August, and the government is recruiting an auction company to host it, and Xia Shao is determined to win.

This year's summer auction, Li Boyuan will come from Hong Kong. He has been looking forward to the big blue and white dish in Fu Ruixiang for a long time. At this year's auction, Fu Ruixiang and Huaxia will become famous together and shake up the industry!

Xia Shao told Sun Changde that if there were any interpersonal relationships that the government could not handle, he could call her. After all, there are not many political and business figures in the upper-class circles of Dongcheng City who have not asked her to check their Feng Shui fortune.

In terms of connections, she doesn't worry.

After last year's summer auction, several auction companies suddenly emerged in the country. This year, they are all eyeing the East Market, and the competition is not small. Although Sun Changde has no roots in Dongshi, he is pretty good at interpersonal communication. Since the establishment of Huaxia Auction Company, he has won over many important municipal officials. These people will naturally come in handy when the government is recruiting business. But competitors also have their own connections, and competition is still fierce.

At this critical moment of the high school entrance examination, Xia Shao didn't want to be too distracted. In order to avoid an incident like Duxing's at the beginning of the auction company's establishment, Xia Shao informed Gao Yitao and also spoke out to those political and business figures who asked him to read his Feng Shui fortune. .

She did not directly reveal that Huaxia was her company, but her words hinted that Sun Changde was very capable and could drive the economic development of Dongshi.

Those old foxes understood this as soon as they heard this - I dare you that Manager Sun took Miss Xia's back door!

A group of old guys knew what was going on, and things were basically settled.

As expected, Huaxia Auction Company came out on top and successfully obtained the qualification to hold the second Dongshi Summer Auction!

After obtaining the qualification to host, Xia Shao let Sun Changde do the rest.

After that, Xia Shao put aside the company's affairs and became a student preparing for the exam.

However, as a Feng Shui master, it is a waste of resources not to use Feng Shui when you can.

So, with a smile on her face and eyes bent, Miss Xia Shao found the Wenchang location in her home and created a unique Feng Shui bureau.

When setting up a Feng Shui bureau at home, the first thing to check is the sitting direction of the house. Sitting direction is the basis of Feng Shui bureau. If you find the wrong direction, the bureau will not be deployed, and even if it is deployed, it will not be accurate. This sitting direction does not mean "up north, down south, left west, right east" in the usual sense. The "sitting" and "facing" in Feng Shui have unique meanings. Sitting side refers to the direction of leaning back, and Xiangfang refers to the direction of facing.

For example, when sitting on a chair, the person you lean against is the direction you are sitting on, and the person you are facing is the direction you are facing.

But this is just an analogy. In reality, it is very complicated when examining the orientation of a house. Because the styles of modern architecture are so diverse.

Feng shui pays attention to the air opening, that is, the opening to absorb the aura of one party. It plays an important role and is related to the rise and fall of a building! In ancient times, there was little land and many people, so traditional houses occupied a large area. The main door was usually the largest vent, that is, the door was oriented. Therefore, it is easy to judge the sitting direction.

But in modern society, land is at a premium, and many of them are unit buildings, duplex buildings, and some avant-garde and bizarre buildings. Unlike ancient buildings, these buildings do not have a bright hall, and the air outlet is usually not at the door. To judge the sitting direction, it is a test of the Feng Shui master's skills and experience.

Xia Shao naturally knew the direction of sitting in her home very well. She found the direction and then determined the location of Wenchang. The residences in Wenchang have different orientations and different locations. If it is placed in the wrong position, the Feng Shui bureau will naturally have no effect.

The sitting orientation in Xia Shao's home is west to east, and Wenchang is in the southwest. She selected a time in the southwest, enshrined the Kuixing Kick Fighting Statue, and placed three solid gold ingots to bless her with vitality.

When her parents saw her doing this at home, they couldn't help but start laughing at her.

Xia Zhiyuan pretended to reprimand, "What are you doing tinkering with? It's feudal superstition. It's better to read more books. Why are you so afraid of grades?"

Li Juan secretly punched her husband, "What are you talking about? My daughter has good grades, so she shouldn't be nervous when the exam is about to take place? You let her fiddle around, and she can't even feel safe?"

Xia Shao shrugged and smiled after hearing this - he originally planned to set up a Five Elements Bagua array to correspond to the five elements and boost the Wenchang position. I just added such a few things to the house, and you and your two elders were surprised... Come on, let's do it!

Anyway, the Feng Shui bureau she set up was a simple one. It was just a status blessing, which would make her energetic and full of momentum. As for studying, you still have to rely on yourself. After all, oneself is the source, and no matter how good the layout is, it is only a help.

In order to reassure her parents, she immediately went into the house to read.

Half a year has passed so quickly, and it’s already the high school entrance exam in a blink of an eye.

Xia Shao still vividly remembers the situation at home during the high school entrance examination in her previous life. At that time, my grades were only average, but my parents took me very seriously. They got up early in the morning and made a rich breakfast. My mother even asked for leave and waited at the school gate. Although Xia Shao felt that her parents' behavior put her under great pressure at that time, in this new life, she was able to understand her parents' feelings.

In her previous life, although she was finally admitted to high school, her grades were only in the middle. She still remembers the look of relief on her parents' faces when she got the admission notice.

In this life, she will definitely make her parents happy.

Xia Shao was naturally a little emotional when she walked into the examination room, but she quickly calmed down and got into the mood. Her mother, Li Juan, took leave and stayed with her all day. After leaving the examination room, she asked: "Is the question difficult? Have you finished the paper?" She looked more nervous than Xia Shao.

Xia Shao smiled faintly and finally comforted her mother. With her grades, there is no doubt that she will be admitted to Dongshi No. 1 Middle School. Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan also knew this. After all, their daughter has never had to worry about her since she started school, and there is absolutely no problem with her grades in getting into No. 1 Middle School. But as a parent, when your children face major exams, even if their grades are good, they will still give you instructions.

Although she had known for a long time that there was no suspense, when Xia Shao returned home on the day when the results came out, she still brought a surprising news to her parents!

The total score is 748, ranking first in the city. This was nothing at first, it was regarded as Xia Shao's normal performance. But when she went to school to get her report card, something happened that surprised Xia Shao.

This year's high school entrance examination, there are two top scorers in Dongshi, one of them is Xia Shao, and the other one coincidentally is Yuan Ze.

After the two arrived at the school, they were brought into the principal's office by their head teacher. The news they received was that Qingshi No. 1 Middle School wanted to invite them to study in Qingshi, the provincial capital city. Tuition is free and scholarships are available.

"Qing, Qing City?" Li Juan's voice was trembling, but her face looked like she was about to cry with joy, "That, that's the provincial capital city, a provincial key high school! Lao Xia..."

Li Juan looked at Xia Zhiyuan. After all, Xia Zhiyuan was a father. At this time, he would not be as excited and incoherent as his wife. He nodded approvingly to his daughter, "Okay, okay!" He said "ok" twice, but his voice was deep. , Shen Zhong said with emotion.

Xia Shao's grades have been very good since she started studying. Her relatives all knew this, but no one expected that she would be directly admitted to Qingshi No. 1 Middle School in the provincial capital city. This is definitely a happy event for the old Xia family, so Xia Zhiyuan and his wife, who have always been diligent and thrifty, immediately decided to entertain guests to celebrate their good daughter!

The hotel where the relatives will be hosted is the newly opened star hotel, which is the same hotel where Xia Shao, Chen Manguan and Sun Changde ate together.

All the relatives of Lao Xia's family are here this time.

The eldest aunt Xia Zhimei, uncle Liu Chunhui, and cousin Liu Yuguang have a family of three.

My sister-in-law Xia Zhiqin and my cousin Zhang Ruman were not able to attend as my uncle Zhang Qixiang was a company-level cadre and was in the army.

Uncle Xia Zhitao, aunt Jiang Qiulin, and six-year-old cousin Xia Rongxue also came, as well as grandfather Xia Guoxi and grandmother Jiang Shuhui.

Including Xia Shao's family, there were about ten people. Although the expressions of each family were slightly different, when they entered the door, they all naturally congratulated each other, and then they all sat together.

"Sister, you are so awesome! I admire you! From now on, when we are close together, I will rely on you to promote me!" As soon as we sat down, the first one to speak was my cousin Zhang Ruman. She didn't care if there were any rules about the presence of elders. They were all a family anyway, so she wasn't bound by this.

Zhang Ruman and Xia Shao have been close friends since childhood. Although one is straightforward and handsome, the other is quiet and elegant, their temperaments are very different, but they are extremely good friends. The elders of the Xia family don't understand why the two children have such a good relationship. They don't see each other many times a year.

Because Zhang Ruman's father was a company commander in the military area, she always liked to follow him around the military area during holidays, and even learned some marksmanship. Xia Zhiqin was really troubled by her daughter's personality, but in the end she couldn't resist her daughter's request, and she and her husband After some discussion, we decided to transfer her school to Qingshi. Being close to her father makes it easier for her to play during the holidays.

Unexpectedly, Xia Shao was going to Qingshi to study, and now the two sisters were very close.

"Ruman! Speak up! Girls should look like girls, learn from your sister! You are so ladylike, so quiet! Look at you, you are more wild than a boy all day long. What if you get married when you grow up? If I don't go out, I still have to worry." Xia Zhiqin rubbed her temples, feeling extremely headache.

Xia Shao chuckled. It was precisely because of Ruman's straightforward temper that they had a good relationship. In her previous life, Zhang Ruman was indeed in her mid-twenties and did not have a suitable boyfriend yet. She called her all day long to complain. At that time, she just thought that her temper was not the type that boys generally liked, so she had fewer choices. .

But in this life, she entered Xuanmen. Based on her attainments in physiognomy, judging from her cousin, she was not a person with few peach blossoms. On the contrary, she was destined to have a romantic relationship, but the relationship between the two was long and tortuous, and it was a marriage that came together after many stumbling blocks.

"Ruman's temperament makes it suitable to join the army in the future. Maybe she will be a female officer. How majestic!" Li Juan said with a smile at this time.

"What's the prestige? We are raising a daughter, not a son. You said she went to the military area with her father all day long to learn how to shoot targets. I just said that a girl should shoot targets! It gives me a headache. I was wondering, was it possible that when I gave birth to her, she was a little boy who mistakenly gave birth to a little girl?"

Li Juan burst out laughing. She and Xia Zhiqin were good friends before they got married, so the two of them naturally talked closely. Today, we are hosting a banquet for relatives, and her daughter is the protagonist. As a mother, she feels happy and her face is bright, so she has a smile on her brows and eyes.

This smile fell into Jiang Qiulin's eyes, and she couldn't help curling her lips and coughing.

When Li Juan and Xia Zhiqin came to their senses, they realized that they were talking about their own daughters, which seemed like they were neglecting other relatives.

Li Juan was a little embarrassed. Just when she was about to speak, she saw Jiang Qiulin smiling at her, "Sister-in-law, congratulations. Xiaoshao went to Qingshi to study, and you have gained a lot of face."

Li Juan quickly smiled and waved her hands, looking a little embarrassed. She didn't talk much to her sister-in-law, and she always felt that what she said was weird, so she didn't dare to take her compliments as a compliment and quickly wanted to thank her.

Jiang Qiulin smiled, and then asked with concern: "However, Qingshi is the provincial capital city, so the expenses should be very high, right? The monthly living expenses for children studying there must be quite a lot. Can the family still afford it?"
