Chapter 259: Song Mu refuses to worship those who have been removed from the list
The solemn voice spread very far, and almost in a moment, the voice had reached everyone's ears.
Everyone in the ancestral hall was immediately stunned for a moment, and they were all a little confused at this moment.
When Song Xi heard this, he immediately jumped up, turned around and rushed to Song Liwen's side, and immediately asked.
"Wen'er, who is it?"
As he said this, he actually already had the answer in his mind. He looked outside and saw a man wearing a uniform like his son, but taller and with a more delicate face walking slowly.
Come.
Next to Song Xi, Song Liwen was already standing on the spot, and even felt confused for a moment.
When Song Xi saw that Song Liwen didn't reply, he turned around to look. Song Liwen was stunned for a moment and then slowly uttered a few words from his mouth.
"Father, that is...Song Mu."
Song Xi trembled coldly, and now he looked again, and saw a figure slowly coming towards this side on the square street, surrounded by officials and civilians.
At this moment, Song Xi truly saw clearly what kind of young talent Song Mu was, and his heart was even more trembling, even a little panicked.
"Father, let's close the ancestral hall immediately. This is the ancestral hall of my Song family and has nothing to do with him."
Song Liwen said with some difficulty at this moment, hoping that Song Mu would be rejected and that he would have the courage to kill him.
But he also understood that if he really did this, the Hongzhou Song family would become a joke in Yuzhang City from now on.
Next to him, Song Xi took a few deep breaths to calm down, but now he shook his head.
Song Liwen was puzzled, but Song Xi calmed down and said slowly.
"No, let him come and worship."
Song Liwen frowned fiercely, full of confusion, but Song Xi's eyes had returned to their usual coldness, and he spoke in a low voice at this moment.
"If he is willing to kowtow, then he is willing to admit that the people worshiped here are his ancestors."
"In this way, we will have fewer rumors. It will be justifiable for us, the old Song family, to take over this ancestral hall, and let him do the rest."
As Song Xi said this, he seemed to have figured something out at the moment, and there was actually a bit of pride on his face.
"If there is a Jie Yuan who is willing to recognize my Song family, then we will accept him generously. When this matter is told, no one will dare to criticize us anymore."
Song Liwen was very puzzled by Song Xi's words. He was even surprised when he heard that his father wanted Song Mu to come in and worship his ancestors. But soon, his face showed some understanding.
Naturally, he knew the past events of his family, and his position was not smooth. This matter had always been criticized by others. Originally, my father thought that the Song family in Shiyang was almost in decline now. By then, he would wait for someone from the younger generation to come forward.
Everything is justified.
If Song Mu, who claims to be a member of the royal family, is willing to come and pay homage to his ancestors, then he is also recognizing that we are all one family.
In this way, the ancestral hall will be more firmly in the hands of the family.
Song Liwen thought about all this and knew that this was an overall strategy that would only benefit his family. However, he still felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, especially thinking about the day Song Mu wrote a poem and cursed him and others at the banquet, and what
After that, he was in all his glory.
Song Liwen clenched his fists, but at this moment he knew the importance of all this, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.
Song Xi also let out a breath. Seeing that Song Mu had almost reached the gate, he quickly turned around and faced the people inside who were removing things, asking them to restore everything.
…
Song Mu came all the way along the street towards the ancestral hall.
From a distance, Song Mu saw the ancestral hall with flying eaves and brackets, and he became a little excited at this moment.
Not long ago, this was a place where I could only hide in the carriage and peek through the curtain, but at this moment, everything was different.
I can walk here legitimately and walk into the Song Ancestral Hall in a dignified manner.
The new boots on his feet stepped onto the ancestral hall square paved with solid bluestone slabs. Song Mu looked at the incense burning on the stone platform in front of the ancestral hall, and watched the door of the ancestral hall open today.
At this moment, Song Mu's heart surged and he stopped unconsciously.
The officials holding the plaque of Jieyuan beside them also stopped, and the common people behind them also silenced themselves. At this moment, they all looked at Song Mu who was looking up at the ancestral hall in front of him.
Song Mu carefully looked at the ancestral hall in front of him, then slowly lowered his hands and said loudly.
"Jia Shenke understands Yuan, Song, Mu and Song Jingzhao, and comes to kowtow to the ancestors in the ancestral hall!"
When Song Mu said this, his tone was very serious and heavy. After the words fell, there was already a sound of applause from behind, and Song Mu also started to move towards it again.
The tall and heavy door of the ancestral hall was now open, but the high threshold still could not block the heavyness brought inside the ancestral hall.
The tall ancestral hall brought a sense of belonging deep in the blood, and Song Mu walked forward step by step with his head held high.
All the officials and civilians stopped in front of the gate of the ancestral hall, and watched the tall and tall Song Mu walking into the Song Ancestral Hall.
In the previous life, Song Mu had seen many prosperous ancestral halls, but this time, when this ancestral hall with the Song family ancestral plaque hanging high was displayed in front of him, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and felt his blood boiling.
Behind the gate of the ancestral hall, there is another world. A patio appears in the middle of the ancestral hall. The top of the patio is covered with gray tiles. The walls around the ancestral hall are whitewashed, and thick pillars support the grand structure.
's ancestral hall.
And at the very front, across the patio, is a tall table. On the wall against which the table stands, there are thirteen plaques indicating the Jinshi title. Under the plaques, there are portraits one after another.
The table is filled with mahogany carved tablets, and each name is traced in gold and ink.
Incense is rising in the ancestral hall, and a solemn atmosphere hits your face.
Song Mu stopped in front of the door. At this moment, he carefully looked at everything in front of him, with thoughts swirling in his heart.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! How great it would be for my father and second uncle to see this scene...
The Song family members in the scene all looked over at this moment, with expressions of surprise and suspicion. However, Song Xi had already calmed down and walked up laughing.
"Haha, it turns out to be Song Xian's nephew. Congratulations to your nephew for graduating from high school. My cousin is here to congratulate you!"
Song Xi stepped forward, and Song Xi's voice immediately spread throughout the ancestral hall, pulling Song Mu's thoughts back.
Song Mu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the thin middle-aged man in front of him, with no expression on his face.
When Song Xi saw Song Mu's expression, his face froze, but he smiled again and extended his hand towards Song Mu in greeting.
"My cousin has said too much. My nephew, please come forward quickly and thank your ancestors!"
Song Mu didn't respond at all. He just took steps and walked straight forward.
Song Xi crossed the well lightly, and his fleeting footsteps made Song Xi look sideways. However, he still had a smile on his face and called on the people around him to get ready.
The invited old man from the Song family was also in a panic and at a loss. He saw that Song Mu had already arrived in front of the incense table.
Song Mu carefully looked at the plaque and several portraits on the wall in front of him, as well as the various tablets lined up below, and then lowered his eyes slightly.
When Song Xi saw that the old man of the Song family had not made any move, he immediately urged him and walked up impatiently.
"My dear nephew, something unexpected happened. My cousin will teach you to burn incense first and then bow down!"
With that said, Song Xi hurriedly took three sticks of incense, lit them quickly, and handed them to Song Mu.
On the side of the ancestral hall, Song Liwen, who was watching all this faintly, slowly clenched his fists.
But Song Mu was still standing like that. At this moment, he did not reach out to take the incense from Song Xi's hand, but suddenly said something.
"Excuse me, among the portrait tablets here, which one is Song Zihao?"
Song Xi was stunned. That was his ancestor, the descendant who was eliminated from the Song family a hundred years ago...
Song Xi's expression changed, and he was about to speak immediately, but heard Song Mu speak slowly.
"Song Mu will not pay homage to those who have been expelled. Please temporarily remove the portraits and memorial tablets of Song Zihao and his descendants from the ancestral hall."
