When Grandma heard that they had casually chosen a date to build the house, she slapped her thigh and said, "I knew it, you two young ones don't think enough about these things! Picking a date to start building a house can't be this casual; it's a big event!"
So, she found a Feng Shui Master for them and took the master to see their plot of land.
The master walked around the plot, nodding and saying, "This place has good Feng Shui; building a house here would be favorable..."
Then he rattled off a long list of things to watch out for.
Zhao Dong listened with a smile but said nothing. He believed in Feng Shui; he didn't think it was superstition.
Grandma listened to the master's words with satisfaction, and then asked him to pick a suitable day for them to break ground, which was three days later.
After they sent the Feng Shui Master away, Grandma told them to buy some firecrackers to set off at the site on the day they started digging.
