Song Mu's request was not excessive.
If you were successful in the examination, you would have already rushed to tell your family about it, or you would have already kowtowed in front of the ancestral tablet.
It can be said that Song Mu has no relatives in the provincial capital, but no one knows that Song Mu is a descendant of the Song family, which was very prosperous in Jiangnan West Road.
So from this point of view, Song Mu's request is not excessive at all. It can even be said that Song Mu must do this because of emotion and reason.
But when the officer heard this, his expression suddenly paused. He probably knew something about the Song family in Hongzhou, so he hesitated after hearing Song Mu's request.
But when he saw Song Mu looking over at him, the official didn't dare to look directly at him. He nodded quickly and then spoke.
"Then I will immediately clear the way and send Xie Yuanlang to the Song Ancestral Hall."
"Good work."
Song Mu immediately raised his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he found a lot of money, which immediately fell into the man's arms.
"Song passed the exam today, so I'll invite all the officials and eldest brothers to have a sip of tea."
The officer immediately beamed with joy when he saw so much money in his arms. The worry he had just had was forgotten. He just nodded his head and even said with a flattering smile.
"Okay, don't worry, Xie Yuan. We will definitely put on a good show and let Xie Yuan go to visit the ancestral hall in a glorious manner and comfort his ancestors."
With that said, the other party had already gone to discuss the matter behind. Song Mu looked at it and followed Tao Fengming on the side of the team. The other party had a faint smile on his face at the moment. When he saw Song Mu's eyes, he also stepped forward. Come. ,
"Master, my disciple finally lived up to his expectations."
"What you do is no longer what I did when I was the same age. You can teach me!"
Tao Fengming nodded and praised a few words when he came up, but at this moment he seemed to understand Song Mu's thoughts and spoke.
"You said last time that you would do something extraordinary on the day when the results are released, but I said you should follow the rules..."
Song Mu smiled slightly and saw that the official had led everyone to change direction, and he walked forward while talking.
"Master, don't worry. If they are sensible today, I won't cause trouble. But if they insist on being my enemy, they will have to bear my anger."
Tao Fengming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, touched his chin, and nodded slowly.
At this time, the team was already heading to the other side of the street. Some people in the team were a little surprised when they learned that Song Mu was going to visit the Song Ancestral Hall.
However, it was reasonable for Xie Yuan to go to kneel down and worship his ancestors. However, everyone was a little excited at the moment, and some people had other ideas in their minds. At this moment, everyone followed suit one after another.
Many people followed along the way, heading towards the Song Ancestral Hall in the north of the city.
Song Mu was walking in the front. Looking at the Sunshine Avenue in front of him, his heart was filled with excitement.
Second uncle, I have finally waited for this day. Song Mu, I will definitely avenge you every bit of your revenge. I will eradicate all the bad luck and karma with my own hands.
…
Song Ancestral Hall, earlier. There were a lot of people gathering in the square, many of whom were dressed in rich clothes. They were all pampered, but they were all looking eagerly towards the street outside.
These people are all members of the Song family in Hongzhou. The current head of the Song family is called Song Xi. He is a sharp-looking middle-aged man. He is also standing in the middle of the crowd at the moment. He is holding one hand on his back and the other on his chin. .
"Master, the second young master must be as high-ranking as the eldest young master."
"Yes, sir, the second young master has been smart since he was a child. Everyone always praises him when he sees him."
At this moment, several middle-aged and mature women nearby were also looking at him eagerly, and they did not forget to compliment Yanyan with a smile. The Song family members around them also nodded repeatedly, mostly in surprise.
"My cousin is very powerful. He will definitely win the election this time. He is the Wenqu star from the sky who has come down to earth!"
Another man next to him said that this man was Song Wencong whom Song Mu had met in Guangdong Province before. Although he did not participate in the provincial examination, he also came here to wait for news.
Song Xi was also smiling at this moment, feeling quite proud. Now both of his sons were doing well in studies. If the second son could also win the exam, maybe in a few years, his Song family would be able to have another success.
When the time comes, there will be no need for me to endure such hardships, and the Song family will definitely be more prosperous by then!
As Song Xi thought, someone was already running towards the intersection in a hurry. It was a servant of the Song family.
"Master, master, the young master has graduated from high school, the young master has graduated from high school, and ranked 69th in the provincial examination!"
The servant ran over in a panic and suddenly fell over. Song Xi stepped forward and scolded him coldly.
"You idiot, you won the exam after you passed the exam. How can you behave like this?!"
The servant stood up in a hurry, with a look of fear on his face. At this moment, several officials came behind him on horseback, holding a scroll high in their hands.
"Congratulations to Mr. Song Liwen of the Song family in Hongzhou for ranking 69th in the Jia Shenke Provincial Examination. His name will remain in history and he can prove that he is a scholar!"
The official on horseback shouted loudly from a distance, attracting the attention of many people at this moment. Many people in the square were smiling and flocked to Song Xi to congratulate him.
When Song Xi heard this, he also raised his hands repeatedly and laughed loudly. The official had dismounted and came to Song Xi with the roll of paper in his hands. Song Xi stretched out his hand to take it and slowly unfolded it. When he saw the name on it, he immediately became happy.
"Okay, okay, reward, reward for every effort!"
As Song Xi said this, there were servants and maids behind him carrying silver coins and a large basket of copper coins. The officials came forward and thanked them profusely. The people around them also gathered around and moved toward them. Then Song Xi congratulated him.
A lot of copper coins were spilled out, and the place was very lively. Song Xi was also very excited looking at the thing in his hand.
"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. The second young master has won the imperial examination at a young age. He will definitely go to high school in the future. Our Song family is about to make a fortune again."
Song Xi nodded repeatedly at this moment, but still acted modestly and spoke.
"Alas, it turns out that I am not good at teaching. Wen'er is so good at reading. If she were more strict in discipline, she might be able to get a higher ranking."
As he said this, the people next to him also followed his intention, but most of them also praised him and Song Liwen. For a time, they were flooded with auspicious words, making Song Xi feel a little arrogant.
But suddenly, as if he remembered something, he immediately turned his head and said behind him.
"Quickly, get everything ready. When my son comes back, let him enter the ancestral hall immediately and kowtow to his ancestors!"
"Today I will hold a flowing feast for three days, so that the people in the city can come and feel happy!"
The people next to him nodded repeatedly when they heard this. The square was very lively at the moment, with people everywhere cheering and moving.
Finally, Song Xi had a moment of leisure. Looking at the things in his hands, he couldn't help but sigh.
"But I don't know who Jieyuan is this time. If my son can make good friends with him, it would be great to go to Chang'an for the exam together."
Song Xi was planning this in his mind at the moment, but suddenly he thought of what happened in the city in the past two days, and of Song Mu who created the vision of enlightenment.
When my subordinates went to Shiyang County to inquire about it the year before last, they said that Song Mu was just a guy who was industrious and indifferent to grains. He was afraid that he would end up in trouble in the future. But he didn't expect that he would become a scholar just now. .
Moreover, he can actually induce those kinds of visions. If he really catches the Tao, he might be able to achieve success.
Song Xi's expression suddenly darkened, and he felt a little disgusted with Song Mu, whom he had never met before. However, looking down at the annunciation document in his hand, the gloom in his heart was almost cleared at this moment.
How could that young boy compare to his own literary talent? Even if he could show some skills in speaking and speaking, what else could he do if he could not become a scholar.
Now that the roll call has reached the top ten, Song Mu's name has not yet appeared, and it seems that he is going back to his hometown.
Song Xi had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard a hurried voice, and then saw the boy from before running towards him in a panic.
"Master, it's not good. Master, it's not good."
As he said this, he fell down again in the square. Song Xi's face suddenly became gloomy. He suppressed his temper and did not curse, but suddenly he saw a group of people galloping past the road beside the square.
The leading official was shouting loudly at this moment.
"Jia Shenke from Songmu High School in Shiyang County, Jizhou Prefecture, solved the Yuan Dynasty! His name will remain in history, which proves the path of the literati!"
The loud voice echoed twice in Song Xi's ears. At this moment, the paper roll in his hand had gently fallen to the ground.
