I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 205 Seeing the Ancestral Hall for the First Time
"The sunset and the solitary bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky. It is really amazing that Wang Zi'an was able to write such poems back then."

"That's right. It's a pity that he shocked Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty with "Ode to the Palace of Qianyuan" and called him a genius three times. He died in the South China Sea after failing to make it."

At this moment, Song Mu was standing not far from the Tengwang Pavilion looking forward, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, and Xu Yuncai beside him also sighed endlessly.

Song Mu looked up at the tall buildings in front of him, as well as the flat river and plains beside him. He must have climbed up and looked far away, and the scenery he could see was incomparably amazing, so he could write such gorgeous poems.

Song Mu sighed in his heart, but now he saw that His Excellency King Teng was guarded by soldiers, and there were many craftsmen carrying materials in and out.

Seeing this situation, Song Mu was somewhat surprised, and Xu Yuncai who was next to him gave Song Mu a detailed introduction at this moment.

"This is the order of Lord Inspector. It is said that the Tengwang Pavilion is to be requisitioned to make arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now it is also surrounded, and craftsmen arrange it all day long."

When Xu Yun said this, it seemed that there was some hope in his eyes.

"It's just that I don't know why. This year, the decoration here is even worse. It must be that some important person is coming."

Hearing what the other party said, Song Mu also looked over, but it was a pity that he couldn't see the scenery of the provincial capital from the attic today. Maybe after the exam and the Mid-Autumn Festival, he could take a look before leaving.

Song Mu was thinking like this, seeing that it was already afternoon, so he prepared to go back.

But soon Song Mu thought of something again, and asked Xu Yun now.

"Young master Xu, I don't know where the Song family in Hongzhou is now?"

Hearing Song Mu's question, Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, looked at Song Mu rather puzzled, and murmured something.

"The Song family in Hongzhou, what are you talking about..."

"You don't even know where it is?"

The other party hesitated to speak, and obviously knew some of them, but he still asked with some doubts at the moment.

Song Mu nodded and explained immediately.

"Song has grown up in the county since he was a child, and he doesn't know many things about the provincial capital. Speaking of which, this is the first time Song has come to the provincial capital."

Xu Yuncai nodded, and said to Song Mu while patting his chest.

"Brother Song, don't worry, I know the location, but you are going now..."

There was some worry in the other party's words, perhaps because he felt that Song Mu would not get any benefits if he went like this.

Song Mu just smiled in relief, and explained to him immediately.

"Song doesn't want to deal with them, but the Song family's ancestral hall is there. After all, I am also a member of the Song family, so..."

Xu Yuncai understood Song Mu's explanation and nodded, but said that most of them are the eyes and ears of the Song family in Hongzhou now, but they can only be seen from a distance.

Soon, Xu Yuncai called a carriage from somewhere, and it seemed that the coachman was waiting for the other party. Song Mu was a little surprised at the moment, but he got into the carriage with the other party.

The carriage was driving in the city, and Song Mu also listened to the other party talking about the Song family.

"Speaking of which, this was a hundred years ago. Your family had no choice but to leave the provincial capital. The house and ancestral hall were originally left to the servants to take care of."

"It's just that those guys turned their elbows outward, and the Song family in Hongzhou happened to be in power. After several manipulations, they actually lived in like that."

"My grandfather told me about these things. At that time, the Song family in Hongzhou put on a big show, held a hundred-table banquet for three days, and invited all the officials, rich merchants and common people in the city."

"In this way, everything will be logical."

Listening to the other party talking, Song Mu understood these things roughly, but not in such detail. The traitor used such means to enter the Song family in the provincial capital, and became the continuation of the Song family's blood in a grandiose manner.

These things only made Song Mu feel more depressed, but he knew the pros and cons of it.

The Song family in Hongzhou has been cultivating here for a long time, not to mention as strong as a bucket, but at least the current self is absolutely not qualified to speak here.

Maybe even when I passed the Juren examination, it was still not enough.

Although the current Song family has only one fellow Jinshi, that is like a moat to him.

If I want to take back everything justifiably, I have to be careful step by step, and I must not act too hastily.

As Song Mu was thinking in his mind, the carriage had already turned several streets. At this moment, when the other party patted him on the shoulder, Song Mu came back to his senses.

"It's here, it's outside, don't get out of the carriage."

Xu Yun said this to Song Mu, and Song Mu also nodded. At this moment, he just gently raised a corner of the curtain, and he saw a rather wide square.

In front of the square, incense candles were burning among several stone platforms, and a gate seven or eight meters high was erected by two gigantic and mighty stone lions. The red walls and gray tiles, and thick trees stood erect to support the cornices.

The tall and heavy gate is inlaid with large and small golden bubble nails, and various patterns are carved on it.

Looking up, a plaque with a length of four to five meters and a width of one or two meters appeared at the height of the gate.

Song's ancestral hall.

Looking at these four words, Song Mu felt that the blood in his whole body was flowing faster, his hairs stood on end, and he felt awe in his heart.

A sense of heroism suddenly arose, and Song Mu clenched his fists unconsciously.

This is the former lintel of the Song family, where the thirteen Jinshi of the Song family are enshrined, and Song Wenrong, the most powerful and outstanding Confucian of the Song family is enshrined here.

The former Song family, multiplied and flourished, has been extremely majestic from generation to generation.

It was the supreme glory of the ancestors, but at that moment, it had already changed hands, and it fell into the hands of the descendants of those with evil intentions.

Only when he came here, could Song Mu truly understand what kind of humiliation his second uncle had experienced, and only when he got here, did he realize how heavy the burden was on him.

For a while, Song Mu even forgot to put down the raised curtain until Xu Yun helped, watching Song Mu at the same time.

He saw the fire in the young man's eyes the moment he looked at the ancestral hall. He was like a silent lion, suppressing the anger in his heart at this moment.

It is the hero boy.

Xu Yuncai thought so in his heart, and looked at Song Mu even more with admiration.

Song Mu also slowly came back to his senses, only to realize that he didn't seem to be able to control his expression just now, and when he saw Xu Yuncai who was beside him looking at him, his face paused immediately, and he hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Song lost his composure for a while, which made brother Xu laugh."

Xu Yuncai waved his hands in relief, but comforted Song Mu instead.

"Brother Song, why did you say that? The so-called decent family, who is right and who is wrong, although everyone dare not say more, but it is also tacit."

Saying this, there was still a bit of disgust on the other party's face.

"Especially today's Song family in Hongzhou, it's really not smelly, and its children are so rich, that is to say, they have inherited the blood of your Song family's ancestors, and they can read a lot."

Song Mu didn't expect Xu Yuncai to be filled with righteous indignation at this moment, but he didn't say anything.

Just reached a street near the Jizhou Guild Hall, Song Mu got out of the car.

"Walking with Brother Song today, I can still see that Brother Song is a gentleman with a true temperament. Xu Yuncai is a little bit reluctant at this moment."

Song Mu also smiled and cupped his hands, and spoke now.

"Brother Song is also very grateful today. Thank you Brother Xu for clarifying the confusion today. Song Mu will definitely go to visit tomorrow."

"Oh? That's good."

When Xu Yun heard Song Mu say this, his expression brightened, and he took out a wooden sign and stuffed it into Song Mu's words.

"I live in the east of the city. If Brother Song is willing to come, you can enter with this card."

Saying this, he seemed to think of something again, and said to Song Mu again.

"If you can't find me, go to Yingxuefang and tell them my identity, and they will understand."

Having said that, it was convenient to leave with Song Mu hand in hand.

But Song Mu looked at the sign with the word 'Xu' engraved in his hand, thinking about what the other party said just now, his eyes were a little dazed at the moment.

The other party mentioned a few words about Yingxuefang to me before, but I didn't take it seriously, but seeing this waist badge now, I believe that this Xu Yuncai is really the young owner of Yingxuefang?

"Yingxuefang, it seems that this is really..."
