Chapter 321 There's Nothing Adeline Doesn't Understand!
"Grandpa, who designed this house?" Adeline asked as she walked over to the water lily pond. The small landscape was cleverly done with both green plants and water features.
Alexander, thinking she liked it, smiled and said, "Ralph found a designer from abroad. If you like it, Ralph can introduce you."
"Okay." Adeline lightly curled her lips. "But Grandpa, I see a lot of our country's elements in this design."
Alexander's eyes lit up. "Savannah, you even know that?"
"I've read some miscellaneous books," Adeline said with a gentle smile. "Grandpa, the layout is indeed exquisite, but the positioning is off."
As she spoke, Adeline pointed to a skylight in the corner. "A square room is best. Missing the northwest corner is bad for career and health. Over time, it will bring bad luck and needs to be changed."
Alexander paused slightly and looked at Adeline again. This time, his expression changed.
Alexander, being very smart, immediately dismissed the servants and housekeeper, leaving only Terry.
Once the hall quieted down, he asked, "Savannah, tell me the truth. Do you understand divination?"
"I do," Adeline didn't hide it. "I've studied it. The layout of the hall was originally very good, but there are missing corners everywhere, which is bad for the family."
She pointed to the east side. "For example, opening a window to the east gathers wealth. Now the east is blocked, and there's a water lily pond in the west with a missing corner. If it weren't for the Vanderbilt family's large fortune and your kindness, the family would have already fallen apart and lost its wealth, making it hard to develop further."
Alexander didn't doubt Adeline. To others, it might seem superstitious.
But since it was Savannah saying it, even if he usually didn't believe in such things, he was very serious. "Can the Vanderbilt family still be saved?"
"Of course," Adeline helped him sit down. "You don't need to worry. These are small matters. Have Terry get some goldfish for the pond. Tomorrow, I'll find some special stones to place in these corners and open a window to the east. That will resolve it."
Alexander was astonished. "That's all it takes? No need to buy any special items?"
Adeline chuckled. "Grandpa, you know about this? You don't seem like someone who believes in these things."
"Well, I have friends in business who believe in it," Alexander touched his nose. "If they knew I believed in it too, they'd definitely laugh at me."
Adeline poured him a cup of tea. "Divination can also be explained medically."
Terry couldn't help but speak up. "It can be explained medically?"
"Yes, for example, the placement of the bed. The Earth rotates from west to east. If your head faces west, blood will often rush to your head, which will definitely affect sleep."
With Adeline's explanation, Terry instantly understood. "That makes sense!"
"Every plant and tree has an impact. Too many plants in the bedroom reduce oxygen," Adeline said, suddenly looking up. "Terry, I need to visit Grandpa's bedroom later."
Alexander stood up with his cane. "Come on, I'll take you there right now!"
