Now that Song Mu has finally returned home, he truly understands how much he owes his family the loss of ten years. When they reunited today, Gu Qingqing held Song Mu's hand tightly, for fear that Song Mu would leave again.
Now talking about the situation at home, Song Mu finally knew the specific situation.
After Huai Tong achieved good results in the provincial examination, he settled in Yuzhang for several years. During this period, he married the granddaughter of Governor Fang. At the age of 21, he went to Chang'an to participate in the Spring Festival and won the tenth place, which also shocked everyone.
Then he took the initiative to become an official abroad, and became famous locally in recent years. The reason why he made such a choice was related to Song Mu.
When the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs tried to persuade him to stay, Song Huaitong said that his father, Song Mu, had been an official in Chang'an for several years and had many frustrations and hardships. He also often taught him to benefit the people in the world and that he should start at a young age, so he went to work as an official.
Song Muwen also sighed after hearing this. Huai Tong's temperament was similar to his own, but he was more resolute and paid special attention to right and wrong. Such words would make him angry unless there was a change in the government's affairs.
At the moment, Song Mu is more concerned about his second son Song Chengming. The 24-year-old went to Chang'an to attend the Spring Festival last year. Now in early March, the news has not yet come, and he does not know what happened.
"When I was at home, I paid very little attention to Cheng Ming. However, the child did not care about either of us. He was a little out of touch. However, he was still smart and polite. I think there will be good news in the future."
Song Mu held Gu Qingqing's hand and said comfortingly. Gu Qingqing also nodded slightly. At this moment, she leaned on Song Mu's shoulder and said with a slight frown.
"It's just that Ming Ming is not young now. Huai Tong already has three children, but he is still alone."
Song Mu said calmly and calmly.
"Of course it's up to him to make his own choice. Didn't we agree that I, the son of the Song family, will not have to follow my parents' instructions too much in the future?"
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Gu Qingqing just nodded slightly. At this moment, she was just watching Song Mu teasing a few grandchildren, and then looking at Song Yiqing who was busy on the side, before speaking again.
"Husband, Yiqing is already in her late teens. Look at what happens after this..."
After hearing this, Song Mu raised his head and looked up. This time he looked at Chuluo's daughter who looked very similar to Gu Qingqing when she was young. He shook his head slightly at the moment.
"Don't be impatient about this."
Saying this, Song Mu looked at Gu Qingqing and said.
"Madam, you said that Yi Qing is now well-read in poetry and books, but she has an idea for her husband."
"I think that the girls from my Song family should also study and join the literary world in the future."
After hearing this, Gu Qingqing suddenly paused and seemed a little unclear about what Song Mu meant. Song Mu just said with emotion.
"In this world, only literati can make a difference, but men are not the only literati. Our Song family does not have to be so narrow-minded. There are some things that a woman can achieve if she is careful."
Gu Qingqing also saw the firm look in Song Mu's eyes, and this time she just nodded slightly. Gu Qingqing never refused Song Mu's suggestions, and it was beneficial and harmless to the Song family. It didn't matter.
Appropriate.
"Then everything will be as my husband said."
As he said this, someone was hurriedly arriving outside at this moment. Before the person arrived, the sound was heard.
"Master! Master, but you are back?!"
A figure quickly crossed the threshold and walked in excitedly. Both parties saw each other at the same moment. Song Mu stood up immediately.
"Your Highness."
The person who came was none other than Li Dong. Li Dong was now in his thirties and looked much more mature with a beard. He was wearing a green robe and he stepped forward to hold hands with Song Mu and Gu Qingqing.
"Master, we meet again after a long absence. Ten years later, when I see you again, I have reached a higher level. This is great news."
Song Mu also handed over his hand. Looking at Li Dong's cultivation, his eyes lit up.
"Your Highness has made rapid progress in the past ten years."
Today, Li Dong has actually reached the fifth rank of Jinshi. He has been promoted to the fourth rank in ten years, which is really not easy for him.
Li Dong also expressed emotion and nodded at this moment.
"Everything is thanks to Master's original enlightenment. Over the years, Li has studied those books and understood the principles deeply, and finally achieved the changes he has today."
Song Mu also nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Being able to see so many changes in Li Dong's body showed that the other party was hardworking.
At that moment, Song Mu also brightened up and spoke.
"Oh? I wonder if His Highness has revised all the books in the past ten years?"
"I saw that in the ancestral hall, there were many books on display on the bookshelf on one side."
After hearing this, Li Dong couldn't hide the joy on his face, nodded and said to Song Mu.
"This time I am also here to report the good news to the Master. Over the years, I have finally fulfilled my mission and repaired many documents of the Song family. Not only that, Yingxuefang published the complete set two years ago and it became popular throughout our literary dynasty."
"And now that the academy has been completed, it is located on the mountains outside the city. Master, you can go and have a look."
"Is there such a change?"
Song Mu was overjoyed when he heard this. When he left, he just established the Song Family Private School in the city as the Song Family Academy. However, it was just a change of name, and it was essentially just a simple private school.
.
But in the past ten years, I never imagined that such changes would have occurred under Li Dong's management.
After hearing this, Song Mu also showed yearning on his face, while Gu Qingqing greeted the two of them to have lunch before going.
After having lunch, Song Mu and Li Dong walked non-stop looking at the Song Family Academy outside the city. When the county officials heard that Song Mu was going to the academy, they also followed them.
This academy is built on the top of a mountain called Ruhu Mountain not far from the north gate of Shiyang County. From the foot of the mountain, you can see the winding official road. As you climb up the steps, you can gradually see the official road.
There are several archways and many fertile fields standing on the side. After Song Huaitong became a Jinshi, he also erected archways here, making the Song family shine even more.
Continuing upward, you can see the broad river scenery and Shiyang County. As far as the eye can see, you can also see the Gan River passing through the mountains. Under the warm sunshine of spring, the river is sparkling, and the sailboats are on it.
Continuously.

"Master, what you said is serious. In fact, most of it depends on the county magistrate's management and Uncle Song's help. Especially when the villagers heard that you were going to build the academy, they spontaneously came to help. The academy was completed in just a few months."
"The lively scene at that time was quite impressive."
Li Dong said with emotion, and the county magistrate next to him also said a few auspicious words. After hearing this, Song Mu nodded silently, looked in the direction of the city, and murmured.
"Song is even more grateful this time. No matter what happens in the future, we must not let down the expectations of the folks,"
Now everyone stepped up again. The gate of the academy on the top of the mountain had been opened. Among them were some young people wearing commoners. It seemed that someone saw Song Mu, Li Dong and others coming, and they immediately shouted towards the academy.
Voice.
The entire mountain gate shook for a moment, and many children poured out of it.
Song Mu also followed Li Dong and walked forward. At this moment, he was looking at the Song Family Academy on the mountain, and he was full of admiration for a while.
A large piece of flat land was opened up on the top of the mountain, and the earthwork and stones were used as courtyard walls and arch dams. Several rows of school buildings were built on the broad flat land, and there were actually hundreds of people here.
Moreover, there were children and teenagers of all ages. Song Mu glanced around and saw that the teachings among them were all at the level of scholars. But when Song Mu saw one person, he was shocked.
The person who came was a strong man in his twenties. His robe seemed a bit ill-fitting, but the opponent's strength had actually reached the level of Juren.
Song Mu took another closer look and saw that this person was Wang Ruhu.
