I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 261
The solemn voice spread extremely far, almost in a moment, the voice had already reached everyone's ears.

Everyone in the ancestral hall was stunned for a moment, and they were a little confused at the moment.

Song Xi, who heard this, was about to jump up immediately, turned around and rushed to Song Liwen's side, and asked a question immediately.

"Wen'er, who is it?"

Saying this, he actually already had the answer in his heart, and when he looked outside, he saw a taller man with a handsome face who was wearing a uniform like his own son walking slowly. come.

Next to Song Xi, Song Liwen had already stood there in a daze, and was even in a state of confusion for a moment.

Seeing that Song Liwen didn't answer at this moment, Song Xi turned his head to look, and Song Liwen was stunned for a moment before slowly uttering a few words from his mouth.

"Father, that is... Song Mu."

Song Xi shivered abruptly, and looked again at this moment, and saw the figure on the square and street, surrounded by officials and civilians, who was slowly approaching here.

Only at this moment did Song Xi really see clearly what kind of young talent Song Mu was, and his heart trembled even more, even a little flustered.

"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 the moment, hoping that Song Mu would be shut down, and he would kill his spirit.

But he also understood that if he really did this, the Song family in Hongzhou would be a joke in Yuzhang City from now on.

Next to him, Song Xi took a few deep breaths to recover, but now he shook his head.

Song Liwen was puzzled, but Song Xi calmed down and said slowly.

"No, let him worship."

Song Liwen frowned fiercely, full of puzzlement, but Song Xi's eyes had returned to their usual coldness, and he said in a low voice at this moment.

"If he is willing to kowtow, then he is willing to admit that the people enshrined here are all his ancestors."

"In this way, we will have less gossip, and our old Song family will really be justified in taking over the ancestral hall, and let him do the rest."

When Song Xi said that, he seemed to have figured something out, and there was a bit of complacency on his face.

"If Xie Yuan is willing to recognize my Song family, then we will accept it generously. When this matter is revealed, no one will dare to criticize us anymore."

Song Liwen was very puzzled by Song Xi's words, and was even surprised when he heard that his father wanted to let Song Mu come in to worship the ancestors, but immediately, his face showed some understanding.

Naturally, I know about the past of my family, and my position is not going well. This matter has always been criticized by others. Originally, my father thought that the Song family in Shiyang is almost in decline. Everything is justified.

If Song Mu, who claims to be the son of the royal family, is willing to come to worship his ancestors, it is also acknowledging that everyone is a family.

In this way, the ancestral hall will be held more firmly in the hands of the family.

Song Liwen wanted to understand all of this, and knew that this was a strategy for the overall situation, and it was only good for his family, but at the moment, he still felt a little nervous, especially when he thought about Song Mu writing poems and scolding himself and others at the banquet that day, and After that he was in all his glory.

Song Liwen clenched his fists, but at this moment he also knew the importance of all this, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Song Xi also let out a sigh of relief. Seeing that Song Mu had almost reached the gate, she quickly turned around and turned towards those who were removing things inside, asking them to restore everything.

……

Song Mu came all the way along the street towards the ancestral hall.

From far away, Song Mu saw the ancestral hall with flying eaves and brackets, and he became a little excited at the moment.

Not long ago, this was a place where I could only hide in the carriage and peek at each other, but at this moment, everything is different.

I can come here justifiably, and walk into the Song Clan's Ancestral Hall dignifiedly.

With new boots on his feet, he stepped on the square of the ancestral hall paved with solid bluestone slabs. Song Mu watched the incense burning in the stone platform in front of the ancestral hall, and saw that the gate of the ancestral hall opened today.

At this moment, Song Mu's heart was surging, and he stopped unconsciously.

The officials beside them holding the plaque of Jieyuan also stopped, and the people behind them also silenced. At this moment, they all looked at Song Mu who was looking up at the ancestral hall in front of him.

Song Mu looked carefully at the ancestral hall in front of him. At this moment, his hands were slowly hanging down, and he said loudly.

"Jiashenke Jie Yuan Song Mu Song Jingzhao, come to pay homage to the ancestors in the ancestral hall!"

When Song Mu said this, his tone was very serious and heavy. After the words fell, applause was already heard behind him, and Song Mu also raised his steps again and walked towards it.

The tall and heavy gate of the ancestral hall was opened at this moment, and the high threshold still couldn't stop the heaviness brought by the ancestral hall.

The tall ancestral hall brings a sense of belonging deep in the blood, and Song Mu strides forward step by step.

All the officials and people stopped in front of the gate of the ancestral hall, watching the tall and straight Song Mu walk into the ancestral hall of the Song family.

In the previous life, Song Mu had seen many prosperous ancestral halls, but this time, when the ancestral hall with the plaque of Song's ancestral hall hanging high was displayed in front of him, he still couldn't help sighing in his heart, and felt even more excited.

Behind the gate of the ancestral hall, there is another world. A patio appeared in the middle of the ancestral hall. That day, the highest point of the eyes on the well was covered with gray tiles. ancestral hall.

And at the very front, across the patio, is a tall platform. On the wall against which the platform is leaning, there is a plaque with a total of 13 yuan Jinshi and the first degree. Under the plaque, there are portraits. On the top, there are all mahogany carved tablets, and each name is traced in gold ink.

The incense burns in the ancestral hall, and the solemn air blows towards the face.

Song Mu stopped in front of the door. At this moment, he carefully looked at everything in front of him, and his mind was full of thoughts.

It would be great if my father, second uncle, could see this scene...

The Song family in that scene all looked over at this moment, each of them looked surprised, and Song Xi had already calmed down a bit at this moment, and walked up with a laugh.

"Haha, it turned out to be nephew Song Xian. Congratulations to nephew Xian who was released from high school. Congratulations from uncle!"

Song Xi stepped forward, and Song Xi's voice immediately spread throughout the ancestral hall, bringing back Song Mu's thoughts.

Song Mu lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the thin middle-aged man in front of him, without any expression on his face.

Seeing Song Mu's expression, Song Xi's face froze, but he smiled again, and immediately stretched out his hand to Song Mu.

"Cousin is talking too much, nephew, hurry up and thank the ancestors!"

Song Mu didn't respond at all, he just took a step and walked straight forward.

Leaping across the well that day, Song Xi's footsteps that flew across the air for a short time made Song Xi look sideways, but at the moment he was still smiling, and at this moment he called the people around him to hurry up.

The old man from the Song family who had been invited was also flustered and at a loss, only to see that Song Mu had already arrived in front of the incense table.

Song Mu carefully looked at the plaques and several portraits on the wall in front of him, as well as the various tablets lined up below, and lowered his eyes slightly.

Seeing that the old man of the Song family hadn't moved yet, Song Xi urged her repeatedly and walked up impatiently.

"Nephew, something happened suddenly, my cousin taught you to burn incense before prostrating!"

Having said that, Song Xi has already brought over three sticks of incense in a hurry, and now she hastily lighted them and was about to pass them to Song Mu.

On the side of the ancestral hall, Song Liwen, who was watching all this faintly, also slowly clenched his fists at this moment.

But Song Mu still stood upright like that, at this moment he didn't reach out to take the incense from Song Xi's hand, but just said something suddenly.

"Excuse me, among the portrait tablets here, which one is Song Zihao?"

Song Xi was taken aback for a moment, that was his ancestor, that is, the descendant who was kicked out of the Song family a hundred years ago...

Song Xi's complexion changed, and he was about to speak immediately, but Song Mu spoke slowly.

"Song Mu doesn't pay homage to those who have been expelled, please take the portrait tablets of Song Zihao and his descendants out of the ancestral hall for the time being."
