Leap past the confused days of life

Chapter 16 The Weird Psychology of the Salt Merchant

My psychology remained the same, so naturally I couldn’t sleep well. I got up and squatted on the stool in the middle of the night to pass the time by writing. In fact, my eyelids were drooping and I couldn’t open them. I was so sleepy that I wanted to get into trouble.

The legendary story of the salt merchant came to mind: the world is full of wonders, and the strangeness is unimaginable. In a certain area, there is an ancient city, which is said to be a haunted house. What happened there? A prosperous salt merchant returned to his hometown with wealth comparable to that of the country. He wanted to build a magnificent city-like house in a beautiful place.

So an invitation letter was sent to the society to build such a house, because the salt merchants had to pay a huge construction fee, not to mention that the news of such a huge project construction spread like wildfire, spreading like wildfire, causing a sensation, so the society There is an endless stream of talented applicants on the website. These people who come to apply for the job are experts and celebrities in architectural design, and the works they design are all design masters who are very particular about architectural wonders.The bounty offered by the salt merchant is 1 taels of gold. Under the heavy reward, there must be capable people. A designer tried to figure out what the salt merchant was thinking, and finally guessed that it was almost inseparable. He came up with a plan for a city house designed by himself.

The salt merchant was very satisfied after seeing the sketch, and praised it greatly, as if the design was done according to his mind, because the design of this courtyard was exactly the same as the salt merchant’s mind, which was very in line with the salt merchant’s mind, and also in line with the people who prevent problems before they happen The selfish mentality of the salt merchant, the design of the house is in line with the salt merchant's self-protection mentality, and it hit it off, so the salt merchant hired an extremely capable person. It seems that trying to figure out people's thoughts is a very important magic weapon for victory.

The construction of this city house also reflects the ups and downs of a salt merchant, from its heyday to its decline. It took a huge sum of money and 30 years to build the house.It also shows the success or failure history of a family.

After the completion, the Yanshang Road began to gradually decline. The reason is unknown. According to Mr. Feng Shui, there is a problem with the location of the house, which does not conform to the common sense that it is well-connected.However, it conforms to the concept of castle design with complete defensive capabilities. It can cope with the era of wars and bandits. It has excellent defensive capabilities. The people had no choice but to take the castle. The defense system of the castle was very perfect, and the Japanese who attacked the city had to make a detour to give up the siege.

After a hundred years of ups and downs, the city is still built. One year, the city wall was to be demolished in order to expand the municipal construction. At this time, an incident happened. The continuous torrential rain caused floods. The witnesses said that the flood was enough for two years. The meter-high flood peak can destroy everything ruthlessly, and rushed towards the city with its momentum. At this time, people witnessed the moment when the flood peak smashed the city. However, when the flood peak hit the castle, the flood stopped, and the flood retreated back. .But the strange thing is that the people living in the city were safe and sound. For this reason, the urban administrator at that time issued an order to allow the permanent existence of the city wall.

Those who walk into this city will feel as if they have entered a maze. It seems that every passage is a dead end, but they can find the exit.The house of the owner of the salt merchant violates architectural conventions in terms of architecture, which is what the people call Feng Shui. The architectural layout is unbelievably metaphysical, as if entering a maze. The descendants who lived in the courtyard in the next 30 years died unfortunately one after another.

The eldest daughter of a salt merchant committed adultery with a groom and was found shameless to live on. Unfortunately, she was determined by her family to hang herself in her own house.

The separation of the family indicated the decline of the family. One of the daughter-in-laws was advanced in thinking. She did not believe in superstition and ghosts, so she lived in the room where the eldest daughter of the salt merchant was hanged.The husband is a playboy who often doesn't come home, the relationship between the husband and wife is not harmonious, and they can't get the joy of husband and wife. Over time, this strong woman, after enduring loneliness and pain, became mentally disturbed and finally hanged herself.

Then the room collapsed, the house destroyed itself, and four people, father and son, were crushed to death by the collapsed house. The incidents that happened one after another were even more tragic, which made the residents of the entire castle feel terror and uneasiness.

Among the descendants of the salt merchant family was a woman who was recognized at the time as a very remarkable female hero, shrewd and capable, and even men were inferior to her in managing the family property. Dominion.However, the hostess had a hobby, gambling, and used the power granted by the family to gamble. In the end, she gambled away the family business and put herself as a bet on the final bet, and was sold to a brothel.

The family of salt merchants has lived for 60 years from prosperity to decline, but this city has left endless room for imagination to future generations. Although it is considered a haunted house, it still has unique architectural styles. It is the best today.

Reminiscent of people's evaluation of family history: it is often said that the poor cannot be more than three generations, and the rich are not more than three generations. What does it mean?What's the point? Is this case caused by the wrong architectural style or other reasons? Is this the way of life, and how to understand such a phenomenon.

I have never thought about such things before, and I don't want to think about such things, because there are no important people in the family for small people, and there is no wealth, and the history and glory of the family do not involve heirs to inherit the property, so there is no need to consider material wealth , is only interested in the spirit that triumphs over all and dominates all things.

My mood is always affected by things, and if it lasts for a period of time, it will make people depressed. People's moods will be so bad that they can't get out of the shadows. If they can't release the unspeakable pain deep in their hearts, they can't let go. It's the same in everything you do, you need someone who tied the bell to untie the bell.
