The Han family gradually took root because of Han Yu's enlightenment in Chaozhou Prefecture. After hundreds of years of reproduction, it has become a strong family in Chaozhou Prefecture.
It's just that the descendants of the family lack that level of talent and are unable to lead the Han family to new glory, so the name of Shi Zong is already in name only.
This has resulted in the current Han family having no reputation. Only many literati passed by this place and heard the locals mention the history of Chaozhou Prefecture, and then they knew that descendants of the Han family lived here.
The Han family originally thought that the family would gradually sink under such circumstances and then completely decline.
Until they rekindled the family's glory hundreds of years later.
With the emergence and application of poetry, especially after the Song Dynasty Ci School led the trend of poetry and new theories on practice, Han Yu's "speaking sincerely and without fear of avoidance" in his articles was also sought after for a while, among many literati's poems.
There are many allusions borrowed from it.
And now Han Yuchen, the ancestor of the Han family, finally successfully reached the realm of the Imperial Academy at the age of eight after many enlightenments. There are also scholars in the family who have written books and biographies, which can be regarded as opening up the future development of the Han family.
path.
For this reason, the Han family was ambitious and even initiated an initiative for the descendants of the Han family from all over the world to gather their branches and jointly promote Wenlu. For this purpose, they raised a batch of money to renovate the temple built by Han Wen Gong, in order to unite the morale of the clan members.
However, the rise of the Han family came at a time when the Wen Dynasty was weak and the surrounding world was in turmoil. While the Han family tried hard to fight against the demons, they still completed the construction of the temple with difficulty, and chose the birthday of Han Wen Gong to celebrate the new temple.
.
For this reason, the Han family generously donated money and sent a group of masters to preach throughout the city to boost the morale of the people, which was quite famous.
Song Mu was currently heading to the Han family for a banquet at the invitation of Tao Changqing. He heard this from the other party along the way and nodded at this moment.
In turbulent times, both commoners and nobles are ups and downs in the uncertainty of the world. However, under the influence of Confucianism and Taoism, the aristocratic families always maintain a sense of righteousness in their hearts. It is in this way that the people can stay calm in these troubled times.
There is peace.
Tao Changqing and Song Mu were walking on the streets of Chaozhou City, neither of them following the soldiers.
It's just that the two of them were dressed dignifiedly. Although the surrounding streets were in ruins, and even in many of the dilapidated houses, refugees in ragged clothes could be seen lying on their backs, looking up when they heard the movement on the street.
"If Chaozhou City continues like this, there's nothing we can do, right?"
Song Mu said suddenly, but Tao Changqing remained silent.
"Indeed, although the city has not yet run out of ammunition and food, there may be a day when the city is broken."
Tao Changqing's face didn't look very optimistic. After all, the scene in front of him did show that the human race was retreating here. This city only existed in the hands of the human race temporarily. How long could it stay in the hands of the human race?
It depends on how the demon's offensive goes.
"But Tao will naturally be the last to leave here. When the time comes, Tao will also find a way to move all these people out."
"After all, they are still very useful for defending the city now."
Song Mu was puzzled when he heard this, but he also thought of the magical power that the other party showed him today.
Tao Changqing just showed a meaningful smile and continued to quicken his pace. It turned out that the two of them had already arrived not far from the Han family's residence.
Song Mu also looked forward and saw that the Han family in front of him was considered to be the most prestigious in the city. After all, the Han family had been operating in the city for many years, so even if they were in decline, they still had some background.
At this moment, the front door of Hanzhai was crowded with guests, but among the crowd there was an old man who saw Tao Changqing walking forward and stepped forward with a smile.
"Lord City Lord, I'm sorry to hear you come from afar!"
"Master of the Han family, Han Wengong has a new temple, and Patriarch Han has successfully arrived and left the customs. Tao will come to celebrate no matter what."
"It's an honor for my Han family to come here in person. My ancestor is bathing and changing clothes at the moment. Please come inside!"
The head of the Han family said to Tao Changqing with a smile on his face. When people around him saw that the city lord was coming in person, they were all extremely surprised and stepped forward to offer their hands.
Tao Changqing's cultivation at this moment was only at the Hanlin level, but he already had a transcendent existence in this city.
At the same time, someone shouted to Song Mu.
"Brother Song, you are indeed here!"
When Song Mu heard the voice, he looked to the side and saw Han Li walking quickly towards him.
"I was telling Brother Kong just now that you are a man of your word. As long as you don't leave Chaozhou City today, you will definitely come to support you."
Song Mu just smiled when he heard this, and the other party extended his hand to ask Song Mu to let him in.
"Brother Song, please come in. My father has already arrived, and he was asking about your whereabouts just now. Today is a happy day for my Han family. My uncles are afraid that they will not entertain you well, so they asked me to wait for you here."
With that said, Kong Lun also rushed over and said with a smile when he saw Song Mu.
"Brother Song is indeed here today. Let's go together. I heard that the Han family has put a lot of thought into celebrating the grand ceremony today. Even Brother Chihuo refused to explain the situation."
The two of them half-talked and half-pushed Song Mu inside. Tao Changqing, who was talking to others next to him, just glanced at Song Mu and didn't say much. They were each led into the mansion.
Entering the Han residence, it was naturally bustling inside. Han Li placed Song Mu in a side courtyard nearby, where several people were sitting, some wearing robes and some wearing armor.
But without exception, all of them are in the realm of raising people.
And Zuo Youxin, who was invited by the city lord today, was also among them. When he saw Song Mu, his face showed a bit of surprise, and he also came up to exchange a few words.
After a while, all the branches of the Han family also came to express their gratitude. After such hard work for a long time, it was already the time for the lanterns to come on, and a group of literati in the courtyard were sipping tea and talking about family and state affairs.
Talking about the excitement, there are also people who are very interested in poetry and start to write poems. Although many of them are limericks with insufficient talent, every time there is something moving, it always attracts bursts of cheers from the people around them.
Han Li and others were also excited by the atmosphere, and immediately said to Song Mu.
"Brother Song, why don't you come up and give it a try? After all, there is no wine in the city, so we can only use literature to entertain."
Song Mu, however, just smiled slightly while holding the tea cup, shook his head and declined. He glanced around, feeling that it was a bit noisy.
Han Li didn't bother too much, but he just participated in it. Not long after, someone asked what would happen at the Han family's ceremony today, but Han Li remained silent, causing boos from around him.
"What can it be? If the literati are in high spirits, they will certainly compose poems to cheer them up."
"Of course, maybe I will write a series of poems and lyrics, and the next issue of Tianwen will have poems and essays by my Chaozhou literati."
"Speaking of this, the legend of the head of the Song Dynasty was still published in the world for half a year. I heard that he was a scholar at that time. It is really difficult for us to compare."
One person said this, and Zuo Youxin, who was sitting next to Song Mu, suddenly followed suit.
"Speaking of the Song leader, when he was a scholar, he was trained in my Shaozhou mansion. In his early years, I heard from my father that he composed three chrysanthemum poems in a row, and defeated the devil's sect in one sentence, which is amazing.
"
"Then your father has seen him with his own eyes?"
Everyone around him exclaimed in surprise when he heard this. At this moment, they all asked questions, but Zuo Youxin nodded.
"I heard from my father that the head of the Song Dynasty had a kind face, a tall body, and strong determination in his eyes. That day when my father was on the top of the city, I saw him swiping his pen and ink, and he shook away the blood mist. Even the prefect praised him greatly.
"
When others heard about the thrills and mysteries involved, they were filled with admiration.
"In this life, I should meet the Song sect leader and see what kind of bone pillars from the Wen Dynasty were made by heaven and earth."
Song Mu was still smiling while holding a tea cup, but at this time he heard a melodious voice coming from the courtyard.
"The auspicious time has come to welcome the saints and worship the ancestors of the Han family!"
