Song Mu's idea was not a sudden one, on the contrary, this matter was actually the Song family's long-cherished wish.
When the Song family returned to Shiyang County in embarrassment from Yuzhang City, they were very concerned about the ancestral hall in the provincial capital. However, they had no choice and no financial resources to move the ancestral hall back to their hometown.
I think back when the Song family was established and established in Shiyang County, the ancestral hall was located in the provincial capital due to the struggle of several generations of ancestors. However, as time went by, it ended up being so lonely.
It was precisely because of this regret that what happened to the Song family in Hongzhou happened.
When Song Mu mentioned this decision to Song Liangda again, Song Liangda naturally agreed wholeheartedly, but he felt that it was very difficult and the manpower and material resources consumed were beyond the support of the Song family.
In fact, Song Mu has already arranged all this. Song Mu always makes complete plans before doing anything.
When I left Yuzhang City, I explained this matter in the ci book with Du Xianyin, hoping that he would do it for me.
As for the cost of relocating the ancestral hall, I have already given all the 500 taels of gold that His Majesty had rewarded from the previous tourmalines to Du Xianyin, and then entrusted him to sell off some ancestral properties that were inconvenient to operate. Such expenses should be able to be solved.
Although Song Mu is now very powerful, and the Song family will be very prosperous in the future, and it is not impossible to live in Yuzhang City again, Song Liangda and Song Mude have the same idea about the ancestral hall, and they still hope to locate it in Shiyang County.
Only in this way can we truly understand our wishes and let our ancestors return to their roots.
At this moment, when Song Mu said these words, everyone in the venue was obviously stunned for a moment.
They obviously did not expect that Song Mu would have such a shocking plan. At that moment, Jin Changwu was the first to react and asked if this was feasible.
"Sir, please rest assured. I have already raised enough money. There is someone in the provincial capital who can act as my agent to completely move the ancestral hall back here. In addition, the Song family also hopes that through this matter, it can do a good job for Shiyang County."
some things.”
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
Hearing Song Mu say this, Jin Changwu and others relaxed slightly and immediately cheered up.
"The Song family has lived in the city for a long time and has been well cared for by all the adults and uncles in the neighborhood. I also plan to spend an extra sum of money to buy a group of school fields outside the city, and then open a private school next to the ancestral hall to provide education for some people's descendants in the city.
.”
Song Mu said this very calmly, and everyone around him also smiled, with a bit of admiration on his face.
If Song Mu said that he helped the Song family, everyone would be a little embarrassed, but the Song family is willing to build a private school in the city. This kind of thing is very beneficial to everyone, and they are even willing to add icing on the cake.
After all, such things can only be done in the long run, and nothing can be more in line with the people's wishes.
Next to him, Song Liangda had been sitting quietly, listening to his nephew's plans for the future of the Song family, and his expression was a bit emotional at this moment.
In my own impression, this nephew has not been very lively since he was a child, and is even a bit dull. However, what is commendable is that he has a spirit of study and is quite tenacious.
In just over a year, my nephew has grown up to be able to fully support the family for me.
Song Liangda was a little moved in his heart. After all, such a well-educated, gentle scholar was the closest relative around him.
This makes people really happy, and they also feel that their ancestors were in trouble, allowing the Song family to continue on.
In this way, Song Mu was now considered to be the plenipotentiary representative of Song Liangda, discussing with everyone the matter of moving back to the ancestral hall and donating the land for building a school. Everyone had a very comfortable lunch.
The Song family residence is still very lively at night. This alley, which has now been renamed Jieyuan Lane, is even brighter tonight. Many people have gathered here, including the wealthy businessmen in the city who specially invited a theater troupe.
Singing opera adds to the excitement.
The day when Xie Yuanlang returned to his hometown was actually more lively than the Mid-Autumn Festival not long ago.
However, these days were still considered the mourning period, and Song Mu was fortunate not to be dragged out to attend the banquet again.
In the next few days, the Song family also organized the funeral of Song Liangtong and Yu Mei. Different from the hasty burials before, this time, Song Liangtong's remains could finally be placed ceremoniously in the tomb next to the old man.
Naturally, the whole city was in uproar on this day, and the Song family was grieving. However, among the people behind the coffin and supporting the coffin, there was the face of Ouyang Hong, and there were several village elders there, which made the people in the city sigh.
After July 1st, Song Mu visited various places in the city. At the same time, he also bought a piece of land in the city and more than ten acres of school land outside the city. When the private school is completed, it will be used to hire teachers.
of Shuxiu.
After the Song Ancestral Hall is moved back to Shiyang County, the number of school fields will continue to be increased to provide food and accommodation for poor children.
Song Mu's move was immediately recognized by the people.
They were envious of young and promising scholars like Song Mu, and they were also happy to have an additional private school in the city. If their children were lucky enough to be able to attend one, they might become half as good as Jie Yuanlang in the future.
The people's thoughts are always so simple and simple. Although the Song family is not prosperous, it is well-known.
After doing this, Song Mu's family also boarded a boat and returned to Jizhou Prefecture, where they paid a visit to officials and friends.
By the time these things are done, it will be the end of October.
On this day, Song Mu still got up early. After finishing his morning reading, he and his second uncle's family had a quiet breakfast, then took out a large bag from the house as a gift.
"Jing Zhao, the outside is not as good as home. You should be more careful outside and don't get angry with others."
Song Liangda helped Song Mu carry the things out, and kept urging him. Song Mu also smiled and nodded. Zhu just kept stuffing things into Song Mu's baggage, especially knowing that Song Mu was like this
The literati had such magical storage tools, and they wanted to make baskets full of food for Song Mu to bring.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Song Mingwei is not idle either. The little girl has now learned some needlework from Zhu. This time she embroidered two hair bands for Song Mu. She carefully asked Song Mu to
She put it away, but she was still a little naughty and asked Song Mu to bring her more delicious food from outside next time she came back.
Most of the people watching this scene of family affection were a little emotional. When the people in the alley learned that the newly promoted Jie Yuanlang was going to study with his master, they also came out to say congratulations or bring out some things.
Send it.
It was difficult to refuse Song Mu's kindness. Fortunately, Tourmaline could still fit these things in. That's it, after spending a lot of effort, he was finally able to go to the dock outside the city.
But before he had walked a few steps, he heard the sound of a carriage behind him, followed by several shouts.
"Jing Zhao, wait for me."
Song Mu turned around and saw that the person who came was actually Kong Zong. Now Kong Zong was a little darker, but he was also a lot stronger. At this moment, he jumped off the carriage and ran to Song Mu regardless of the reminder of Kong Zhai's coachman, and hurriedly moved towards
Tao Fengming and Song Mu held hands.
"Jing Zhao, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I'll give you a ride."
After saying this, Song Mu also nodded and headed out of the city with Kong Zong and his second uncle's family.
"Brother Song is now a legend in our Jizhou Prefecture. Your previous visit to the provincial capital attracted the attention of demons and monsters, and it has spread throughout the country."
Kong Zong and Song Mu said while walking with their hands folded, and Song Mu responded with a smile.
The two of them chatted all the way to the pier, just as the river boat going north was about to leave, Song Mu immediately said goodbye to a few people.
"Jing Zhao, after we say goodbye today, I may only be able to catch a glimpse of you in Tian Wen Jian again."
Kong Zong raised his hands towards Song Mu with a face full of pride, and Song Mu also smiled and said with a smile.
"Don't miss Zu Hai. There are still many years to come. This short farewell cannot break our friendship in this life. We will definitely meet again in the future."
"It would be wonderful to discuss the affairs of the country together."
Kong Zong also smiled and nodded after hearing this, with a bit of excitement on his face, and secretly vowed to work hard and try his best to catch up with Song Mu.
Song Mu turned to look at his second uncle's family again, and said a few words about the family feud, and then said.
"Uncle, when the ancestral hall is re-established at home, you must send a letter to me, and the private school will be completed someday. If I can't come back, I will definitely find a way to send some congratulations."
Hearing what Song Mu said, Song Liangda also looked serious, patted his chest and assured Song Mu that he would get these things done.
After doing this, Song Mucai and Tao Fengming reluctantly boarded the river boat. At this moment, the river was surging. Song Mu looked at Jizhou Mansion, which was far away, and let out a deep breath.
"In this way, the word hometown will always be on my lips.
