Chapter 258 Come and pay homage to the ancestral hall!
"Song Mu...Jie Yuan?"
Song Xi felt that his mind suddenly stopped, as if it was glued together, and he couldn't think for a while.
This result made Song Xi scream in his heart that it was impossible. At this moment, he felt a turbid air rising in his heart. He took a few steps forward and grabbed the servant who was falling into disgrace.
Although Song Xi no longer took the imperial examination route, he was still a scholar. At this moment, he was even more angry and pulled him up. The servant suddenly looked flustered.
"Master, Master, please spare my life."
"Slave dog, what did the officer just say? Tell me again?!"
Song Xi's expression became very cold at this moment, and he said almost with a low growl. The servant was already trembling, but he still hurriedly spoke.
"Sir, the official said that this year's provincial examination will be held by Song Mu."
"Which Song Mu is it?!"
"There is only one Song Mu, sir, Song Mu from Shiyang County, Jizhou Prefecture."
The servant was almost crying at the moment, and several Song family members had already come up to persuade him. They bluntly said that today was the young master's big day, and there were many people watching in the square.
Song Xi let out a deep breath, left the servant behind, and turned towards the ancestral hall.
"When Wen'er comes back, I will ask clearly."
Song Xi said harshly. At this moment, he felt a little pain in his heart and lungs, and his eyes were in a daze. The person next to him came up to help him, but he was thrown away.
The news that Song Muzhong knew about Yuan was also quickly spread to the ears of every Song family member. Everyone's faces were a bit incredulous. They looked at each other at this moment. Although the ancestral hall was still lively, it was already a little different.
atmosphere of.
I don't know how much time had passed, but someone was beating gongs and drums outside the ancestral hall, and then there were excited sounds.
"Dad, my child is back in the exam!"
That voice seemed to summon Song Xi's soul back in an instant. At this moment, he stood up suddenly and hurried towards the door of the ancestral hall.
When he arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, he saw that the figure running towards here was Song Liwen. At that moment, Song Xi also had a bit of surprise on his face.
"Wen'er!"
"father!"
At that moment, a somewhat excited shout rang out in the square, and people around him saw a young man throwing himself in front of a middle-aged man at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and immediately knelt down.
And many people came out of the ancestral hall, and everyone was wiping tears at the moment.
The scene of a loving father and a filial son immediately attracted the attention of others and even made them sigh.
"Oh, this second son of the Song family is very affectionate. It seems that he is a tiger father and has no dog son."
"Yes, the Song family has also produced two Jurens. Both brothers are Jurens. I think they will also have dragons in the future."
"The Song family is so powerful. It has been passed down for hundreds of years. Don't forget that Song Mu is also a descendant of the Song family."
"Ah, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that Song Enren is Jie Yuan. The Song family is so powerful."
"Hey, Song Enren is not from the same family as them. Even if they look like this now, they have done so many insults before. It's really unfair!"
"Don't talk nonsense. What depressing words can you say at this time?"
The people were talking a lot, and at this moment, firecrackers were set off outside the ancestral hall, and the sound shook the heaven and the earth.
Song Liwen had already been welcomed into the ancestral hall and was currently walking towards it surrounded by everyone in the Song family.
Song Xi urged Song Liwen to go forward and kowtow in front of the incense table that had been set up in the spacious ancestral hall.
Song Liwen was also high-spirited at this moment, with full arrogance on his face. He shook his sleeves and walked forward. Then he put incense in front of the incense table, knelt down on the futon, and faced the incense table hanging in front of the table.
Several portraits, as well as countless tablets, bowed deeply.
"My descendant Song Liwen, who was ranked 69th in the Jiashen imperial examination in the 28th year of Chongwen's high school, came to pay homage to his ancestors!"
Song Liwen spoke loudly, and the old man of the Song family who had been invited to the ancestral hall opened his mouth and recited the prayer that had been written for Song Liwen. At this moment, the place was extremely quiet.
When the prayer was finished, Song Liwen kowtowed three times respectfully, took the wine glass from the old man, and sprinkled the wine in front of the incense table.
After all this was done, someone among them had already opened the family tree and turned to the page of Song Liwen. While shouting, he added Song Liwen's achievements on it.
And above that, there is still the time when he was admitted to be a boy student and a scholar.
All this was done in an extremely solemn environment, and then there was another burst of firecrackers. Song Xi, now red-eyed, stepped forward and patted Song Liwen heavily on the shoulder.
"Wen'er, you are worthy of being my son!"
"Thank you father for teaching me, my son has lived up to his mission!"
Song Liwen's eyes were shining at this moment, and he was even more proud at this moment, but he looked around, frowned, and asked.
"Father, where is my brother?"
Song Xi was stunned. Song Wencong next to him came out of nowhere, but he quickly said with a smile.
"Brother Li Wen, Brother Chuan Wen is going to visit a famous teacher today, so it's important to come here."
When he said this, he saw that Song Liwen's face became even more gloomy. At this moment, he glanced at Song Wencong and spoke.
"Okay, it seems that even if I, the younger brother, win the election, I can't let him take a day to see me."
Song Liwen felt cold in his heart, Song Wencong immediately shrank his head, and Song Xi also hurriedly stepped forward to speak.
"Don't talk about this, Wen'er, let's talk to dad for a few words."
Song Xi said this, pulling Song Liwen back from his thoughts. At this moment, he also let out a deep breath, looked at his father, and then spoke.
"What father wants to say, but what about Song Mu?"
Song Xi was stunned, and the expression on his face became gloomy at this moment. He looked at the people who were cleaning up next to him, and the two father and son walked to the side in a tacit understanding.
"Then how could Song Mu...become Jieyuan?"
Coming to the side, Song Xi couldn't wait to ask the questions in his heart. At this moment, Song Liwen also silently clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
"Song Mu wrote two articles that aroused visions of heaven and earth, and ranked first in classics, meanings, strategies, poems and poems."
Song Xi's eyes widened when he heard these words, his face full of disbelief, while Song Liwen was already looking straight in front of him and said through gritted teeth.
"Father, don't worry. It doesn't matter how powerful he is. He is just a country boy. If he succeeds at a young age, he will definitely fall into trouble in the future."
Song Liwen was talking like this at the moment, but he looked at Song Xi and said with some annoyance.
"I just wish I couldn't let him be ruined first."
Song Xi's face looked a little cold when he heard these words, but then it turned into helpless and even a little disheartened.
"That's all, now that he has gained great power and is Jieyuan, countless people in this city have benefited from it. It is no longer something we can easily touch."
Saying this, Song Xi seemed to think about it a little more, and then spoke slowly.
"We will consider this matter in the long term. I will write to your uncle to ask what should be done."
Song Liwen also thought of his uncle who was far away in Chang'an. He nodded at the moment, but then he thought of something and hurriedly said to Song Xi.
"Father, that guy is parading around the streets right now, so we'd better stop him as soon as possible to avoid having him come to our door."
Song Xi raised his head and looked at the ancestral hall, and now he realized what he was doing. He nodded repeatedly and immediately asked people to speed up the cleaning.
Song Liwen looked at how busy everyone was, and secretly gritted his teeth at this moment. When did a country boy disturb his Song family and live in such a panic.
At this moment, several melodious gongs suddenly came from outside the door, and then a solemn voice came.
"Jia Shenke understands Yuan, Song, Mu and Song Jingzhao, and comes to kowtow to the ancestors in the ancestral hall!"
