I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 343 Goodbye Gu Family
The hasty departure of the He family made Gu Zhai quite deserted.

Song Mu was standing in the hall, seeing Gu Chengxiu and the others coming back, thinking about what happened here just now, at this moment he didn't know what to say, but suddenly heard a sound from the direction of the backyard.

Song Mu immediately looked over there, and there were two figures one behind the other, Gu Fengjie ran out first, and then a slim figure appeared.

Song Mu's gaze immediately met the opponent's, and at this moment the opponent's face was reflected in his pupils.

That is Gu Qingqing, today she is wearing a lotus-colored skirt, with a ponytail on her hair, adorned with a royal blue hairpin, and a little powder on her face. Looking at this moment, her beautiful eyes are also eye-catching .

When she saw Song Mu standing in the hall, Gu Qingqing was slightly startled, and the expression on her face seemed to change for a moment.

"Young Master Song."

Gu Qingqing took two steps forward and bowed to Song Mu. Song Mu also looked at him, cupped his hands and said in a flat voice.

"Miss Gu."

There was a moment of silence in the scene, but Gu Qingqing was not that flustered. He just glanced around and bowed to Tao Fengming before speaking to Gu Chengxiu.

"Grandpa, did Grandpa He's family go back?"

Gu Chengxiu responded with a smile.

"Your Grandpa He is not feeling well, so he went back first, but it's okay, Song Mu happened to come to visit me today, and we will have a light meal together."

Having said that, Gu Chengxiu immediately became agitated, as if he was not disturbed by the intense scene just now, Gu Shifan only cared about chatting with Tao Fengming, and did not pay attention to the surrounding situation at all.

For a while, the court was a bit busy, and Gu Fengjie ran along with it, but only Song Mu and Gu Qingqing were left standing in the court, their faces were slightly red.

Gu Qingqing stepped forward and said to Song Mu.

"Young Master Song, I didn't expect you to come to Jinling."

Song Mu nodded when he heard this.

"This time I am traveling around with Master. I just arrived in Jinling a few days ago, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Gu again in Jinling City."

At that moment, the two exchanged a few words, but Gu Qingqing slightly saluted Song Mu again, with an even more embarrassing expression on her face.

"Thank you son... for speaking out for the little girl."

Seeing Gu Qingqing's shy appearance, Song Mu was in a trance for a while, but he also saluted at the moment, wanting to understand the reason.

"It's just that the road is unfair. Speaking of which, those people... are really infuriating."

Gu Qingqing hummed lightly at the moment, and the topic was interrupted again at this point.

But when the lunch was ready, the parents of the Gu family came up to greet Song Mu and Tao Fengming to take their seats. Gu Qingqing also gave a slight signal, and Song Mu immediately nodded and moved forward.

Sitting down with each other, Gu Chengxiu was quite happy today, so he deliberately had a few drinks, then raised his glass and signaled to Tao Fengming.

"Mr. Fengming's coming to my place is because of the prosperity of my Gu family. I think your Excellency was in Shaozhou at that time. Alas, I won't talk about such things today."

Gu Chengxiu smiled and seemed quite happy, everyone raised their glasses one after another, and Song Mu also bowed to toast.

The Gu family has been an official for several generations, and the family tradition is well maintained, and there are no three principles and five constant principles of later generations here, so they just eat without talking, and there is a dignified atmosphere everywhere.

But obviously today Gu Chengxiu was not prepared to do this. He took the lead in breaking the silence and chatted with Tao Fengming for a few words, but he didn't dare to discuss it too deeply. The topic naturally fell on Song Mu.

"How many generations has Song Mu belonged to the Song family in Shiyang? Are the parents still alive?"

After Gu Chengxiu said something, Song Mu also quickly explained, and hearing that Song Mu's parents were murdered two years ago, everyone was also shocked.

However, Gu Chengxiu continued to ask, and learned that Song Mu's parents died not accidentally, but someone did it on purpose, but now that Song Mu has found the bones and buried his parents beside the grandfather, Gu Chengxiu's eyes turned red at this moment, Nodding again and again at this moment.

"Song Mu, no, Jingzhao, it's very good. If what you have done is in my Shaozhou Prefecture, I must write a note for you and pass it to the Holy One."

The people next to him nodded their heads again and again. This time they looked at Song Mu not with sympathy, but with admiration.

At the moment in the arena, only Gu Qingqing looked up at Song Mu from time to time, there was always a twinkle in his eyes, especially when Song Mu talked about the details of these things, his black eyebrows kept frowning slightly, and his expression was a little touched .

When she and her mother stayed in Yuzhang City for a few days, she also paid more attention to Song Mu's affairs. Naturally, it is needless to say more about the incidents that triggered the top-level vision, but the family affairs among them are only known to the whole picture today.

So when everyone was talking about the vision of Yuzhang City, Gu Qingqing couldn't help explaining a few words to his family, which immediately attracted the attention of the family, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly lowered his head to eat.

After a meal, they realized that not only did Song Mu become acquainted with Yuan, but he also earned face for the ancestors of the Song family in Shiyang.

They never imagined that a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old would be able to avenge the family's injustice by himself and bring justice to the family.

Such talents not only have both ability and political integrity, but also have incredible courage to do things.

After Gu Chengxiu listened to these carefully, he laughed a few times and said with satisfaction.

"I knew Jingzhao that you were quite extraordinary. Back then you dared to write poems for the people under pressure in the capital city of Shaozhou, which shows that you have a very good character. How many people can do this kind of thing alone in my Dawen Dynasty?" become?"

This is the truth, after all, Song Mu understood Yuan in one fell swoop, and he is still so young, such a person is already rare in the world.

So everyone was talking enthusiastically, which made Song Mu feel a little cramped.

After lunch, Gu Shifan continued to talk with Tao Fengming about being an official. After the Gu family members were busy, Gu Chengxiu drank tea and chatted with Song Mu about the current style of study while teasing his grandson.

"The Wen Dynasty established the country with literary strength, and the imperial examination was the mainstay. It has continued to develop over the years, and now it has made great progress."

"In the past, there were no more than a thousand talents from various places in one year, and a hundred scholars in three years. Now, thousands of scholars and scholars from all over the country can reach the state in a year, and more than a thousand in three years. A great achievement in enlightenment."

Gu Chengxiu sighed like this, and immediately looked at Song Mu with a sigh of relief.

"I've also read your policy theory on the township examination. I dare not agree with it, but it is insightful. It should be a good policy theory."

"Besides, after reading this, the old man still thinks about what to do. Jingzhao, do you still remember the "Three Character Classic" that the imperial court ordered everyone to recite at the beginning of last year?"

Gu Chengxiu suddenly asked, Song Mu, who was making faces with Gu Fengjie, paused, blinked his eyes, and nodded with a smile.

Gu Chengxiu said seriously.

"That article is very good. The three-character rhyme can be said to have contributed to my Wenchao education. I feel carefully that the meaning of the article written by that person may be similar to what you said in Celun. "

"It's just that I don't know who the 'scholar' is, otherwise the old man really wants to ask, how did he come up with the idea to write such articles."

Song Mu was listening by the side, with a smile on his face at the moment, just nodding his head repeatedly.

Gu Chengxiu looked at Song Mu, changed the subject, and said.

"Song Mu, what are you going to do next?"

"Are you going to join Shizong in the future?"

Having said that, he secretly glanced at Tao Fengming next to him. Song Mu was also a little confused by his words, but he shook his head immediately and said.

"This junior will go to Chang'an to take part in the examination. After that, I won't join Shizong."

Song Mu said to Gu Chengxiu in this way, but these words were indeed Song Mu's heartfelt voice. He refused Du Sheng's request at the beginning in order to reappear the glory of his ancestors.

Hearing this, Gu Chengxiu also nodded immediately.

"This is also a good thing. If you join the School of Poetry, even though the writing style is prosperous in those places, I think it will not be conducive to your growth."

Song Mu looked sideways, but he could probably understand Gu Chengxiu's meaning. Most of the world's poets follow the old system, ordering their children to use the poems passed down by their ancestors to practice.

Because of the bond of blood relationship, they are often able to exert a stronger power than other literati in an ancestor's poem.

Moreover, the School of Poetry is powerful, rich in resources, and taught by great literati in the school. For a literati, this is a great temptation.

But at the same time, the disadvantages of Shi Zong are also very obvious. Old-fashioned, consanguineous, most of the literati who joined Shi Zong were forced to change their surnames, and because their comprehension of Shi Zong's poems did not necessarily match, they would slowly limit their own development.

This is also the reason why the development of the world's poetry schools is currently limited, and it is also why the world can gather to form a huge and powerful literary dynasty.

Several people chatted for a while, and someone from Gu Zhai came to visit again.

Song Mu thought it was time to leave, but he didn't expect Tao Fengming and Gu Shifan to chat speculatively, so he was quite reluctant.

Gu Chengxiu even bluntly asked the two to leave after dinner, and Gu Fengjie directly grabbed Song Mu, thinking that Song Mu, the elder brother Xie Yuan, was very friendly, and said that he wanted to play Go with Song Mu to compete.
