Chapter 1252: Chapter 1251: State Preceptor
When Ye Qiu and Su Luoluo went inside, Steward Su and Su Wen’s couple were already waiting for Ye Qiu. During the last visit, when Ye Qiu came over, Su Luoluo’s mother, Zhang Xiaolan, was not at home.
Now, as Ye Qiu entered and came to the separate courtyard where Su Wen and his wife lived, he saw a woman in her thirties, almost forty, sitting next to Su Wen. From her face, especially her eyes, she looked very much like Su Luoluo.
Su Luoluo is a great beauty, not to mention her mother.
"Ye Qiu, you’ve come."
When Su Wen finally saw Ye Qiu, he showed a rare smile.
"I heard from Luoluo that you were looking for me."
Ye Qiu said.
To be honest, he never had a good impression of Su Luoluo’s parents, likely because of how they used to treat the previous Ye Qiu.
It’s always been apparent that the Su Family looked down on the previous Ye Qiu.
However, now that Ye Qiu has changed so much, Su Luoluo’s parents no longer treat him the same way.
Once Ye Qiu sat down, Su Wen said, "Master Liu personally went to the Capital City to find a State Preceptor to come to Jinling and check the Feng Shui of that land for me. The State Preceptor said that the area isn’t suitable for a living ground but only a cemetery."
State Preceptor?
State Preceptors have existed since ancient times, just with varying levels of skill.
Ye Qiu had also checked the situation at the unfinished building there.
However, turning it into a cemetery really isn’t suitable. After all, there are already many lingering spirits and other souls there, and turning it into a cemetery would only lead to more disputes among the dead for land.
This will only make the future more perilous.
Seeing Ye Qiu’s unchanged expression, Su Wen asked, "What do you think, Ye Qiu?"
"There’s already a lot of the dead there. If it’s turned into a cemetery, won’t it just lead to more troubles among the dead for land?"
Ye Qiu said coldly.
So-called State Preceptors nowadays are mostly self-proclaimed.
Of course, having absorbed so much soul consciousness, Ye Qiu knew very well which kind of Feng Shui was suitable for living and which wasn’t.
Therefore, he’s no worse than those so-called State Preceptors.
"Then what should we do?"
Steward Su asked.
"We have to stop for now!"
Given Ye Qiu’s current situation, there’s no way to deal with the spirits there. If they were just a few ordinary ones, a powerful mage’s simple rituals could handle them.
The problem is that there is even a Ghost Market there at night, which shows the complexity of the situation.
Of course, Ye Qiu is most worried that there might be a gateway to hell there, which would be even more troublesome if that were the case.
Su Wen and Steward Su didn’t expect Ye Qiu to think this way, but both Master Liu’s and the State Preceptor’s assessments confirmed the Su Group had to give up building the new residential area.
However, if a high-end cemetery were built, the costs might gradually be recovered. After all, cemetery prices in big cities aren’t cheap.
What Su Wen worried about is that there might be incidents later on.
"Dad, can we have dinner now?"
Su Luoluo asked.
"Steward, go check if dinner is ready."
Su Wen asked Steward Su to check if they could have dinner. While Ye Qiu sat there drinking tea, observing Zhang Xiaolan, he noticed that compared to the past, Ye Qiu was vastly different.
Back in high school, when Ye Qiu and Su Luoluo were desk mates, she felt Ye Qiu was timid, and his clothes always seemed dirty, which was completely different from now.
The aura of the present Ye Qiu was on a whole different level.
"Ye Qiu, this outfit looks nice!"
Zhang Xiaolan said.
Others who saw Ye Qiu’s outfit, thinking it was common street stall attire due to its dull and dark colors.
However, Zhang Xiaolan thought it was different, recognizing it as a work of a renowned designer.
"It’s alright!"
Zhang Xiaolan saw it had a distinct Italian style, which she had seen in fashion magazines before.
This is when Su Luoluo realized Ye Qiu was always discreet, no wonder he could afford luxury cars and live in a mansion, he’s intentionally dressing like this.
When Steward Su came to inform them, dinner was already prepared.
"Ye Qiu, let’s go have dinner first!"
Ye Qiu, Su Luoluo, Su Wen, his wife, and Steward Su went to the dining hall. Upon arrival, Ye Qiu found the meal quite sumptuous, filled with numerous dishes.
Moreover, Su Wen specifically brought a bottle of red wine, a recent gift from a business partner.
"This is Viscount Red Wine, would you like to taste it, Ye Qiu?"
Su Wen asked.
Ye Qiu had been contemplating giving two bottles to Su Luoluo’s parents. To his surprise, they already had some, which showed that the Su Family, one of Jinling’s four distinguished families, was indeed formidable.
"Actually, I’ve tasted quite a lot of it."
Ye Qiu replied.
"Really? When did you taste it?"
Su Luoluo asked curiously.
After all, this brand of red wine was currently all the rage across Europe, but not as much in the domestic market. Even if it were available, it might be counterfeit, with few genuine bottles.
"Because it’s produced by my winery."
Ye Qiu said calmly.
Su Luoluo was surprised, and Su Wen and his wife were even more astonished. As for Steward Su, he was beyond astonished, thinking the Viscount Red Wine, costing hundreds of thousands, was something Ye Qiu had only heard of, not that it was produced by his own winery.
Ye Qiu had his own estate and large castle in France, which Su Luoluo wasn’t really clear about, only knowing he had been there a few times.
"I initially sold them to distributors for 10,000 Euros a bottle, and now they’re hyping it up to tens of thousands of Euros."
Of course, Ye Qiu knew this was only a fraction of the profits. He had sold a lot to Count Charley, which no doubt earned Count Charley a lot of money too.
Due to the mutual profitability, Ye Qiu and Count Charley had maintained a good relationship.
10,000 Euros?
Now, domestically, it’s at least 40 to 50 thousand Euros, or 300 to 400 thousand Huaxia Yuan, and it’s still hard to procure.
"Do you still have any red wine at your estate?"
Zhang Xiaolan asked anxiously.
"There’s a little left, but I won’t sell it, just keeping it to drink myself. Another batch will be ready next year."
Su Wen and his wife, and even Steward Su, looked at Ye Qiu differently upon hearing his words.
"Dad, let’s eat first!"
Su Luoluo always knew Ye Qiu was different from before, but she hadn’t realized that behind him were so many hidden riches. It’s likely that just from Viscount Red Wine, Ye Qiu wouldn’t need to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life.
After all, now Viscount Red Wine is even more famous than Lafite.
