Chapter 10 The Confucian Family Banquet

Chapter 10 The Kong Family Banquet

Song Mu only stayed in Master Xun's study for a short time. Except for a few words of admonishment by Master Xun at the beginning, Master Xun then tested Song Mu's knowledge and looked at Song Mu's homework.

Did it fall?

Thousand-character essays, four books and five classics, almost everything Song Mu could learn were randomly checked.

Song Mu was naturally not idle at home these two days, and with his own professional level, he had these things at his fingertips, so after a random inspection, Master Xun nodded repeatedly even though he was not very satisfied.

After coming out of Master Xun's study, Song Mu immediately saw Kong Zong waiting outside the door.

"Brother Song, there is a banquet at home today, and I ask Brother Song to come."

Kong Zong said with a very respectful expression, which made Song Mu feel flattered, and he quickly raised his hand and said.

"This can't be done. Brother Kong doesn't have to do this. We are friends to begin with."

Kong Zong, on the other hand, shook his head persistently.

"Brother Song, don't refuse this matter. Today, I, Kong Zong, have received a great favor from Brother Song. If I don't treat you with courtesy, then my Kong family will never have the face to stay in the city from now on."

Kong Zong said with a serious expression, looking like he could not refuse. Song Mu opened his mouth, but he could not refuse, so he could only accept.

When he returned to class, Song Mu immediately felt a difference in the surrounding atmosphere.

The attitude of teachers and classmates towards me has become very good, and some students even greet me with a bit of flattery.

Song Mu felt a little uncomfortable, but he also noticed the reason.

The poem just now also benefited them a lot, and their attitude towards themselves has also improved.

Song Mu smiled and accepted the greetings of several classmates, but at that moment he sighed helplessly in his heart.

In the past, Song Mu, even though he was a descendant of the Wenwen Song family, was at most a nod to everyone.

But now, a poem that I wrote made them more literary and literary, and after receiving tangible benefits, they immediately smiled, and there was a hint of intimacy everywhere.

This is also the result of the supremacy of literati in the Wen Dynasty. Strength is ultimately a person's confidence.

Making friends is making friends. After all, county school is still a place for learning. After a short period of calm, everyone immediately returned to the sea of ​​books. The college examination is coming soon. Obtaining academic honors is the most important thing. Everyone is working hard for it.

.

Song Mu was also flipping through several books of scriptures and explanations he had just borrowed.

Although the Song family was a culturally rich family, and its ancestors also came from a scholarly family, they encountered disasters one after another. In the past, the house was full of books, but now only one box of books was left in Song Mu's hands.

When the creditors came to collect debts, even the sandalwood book boxes containing the books were taken away. If Song Mu hadn't fought tooth and nail to protect those books, even the few books left by his ancestors would have been looted.

Song Mu has read all the books at home these days, but he still feels that it is not enough. Reading a lot of books is not something that a mere box of books can equal. But now that he is short of money, Song Mu can only seize the opportunity.

Borrow other people's books for viewing.

Fortunately, Kong Zong was very generous and showed Song Mu several books he brought from home, which made Song Mu very grateful.

At noon, Song Mu had a light meal with several classmates at the county school. In the evening, Song Mu handed in the articles on the classics and meanings he had written, and was dragged by Kong Zong to his home.

"Brother Song, there is no need to be cautious. My father already knows what happened today. He is also very happy to get such a good poem. He frankly wants to see you."

Song Mu was dragged to his home by Kong Zong. Hearing what Kong Zong said, Song Mu was also ashamed.

Kong Zong's father, Kong Siqi, was a Jinshi twelve years ago. Although he was only in the last position, he still shone brightly and gave Shiyang County a third cultural context.

Kong Siqi was working as an official in another place. The past few days coincided with family sacrifices, and he also happened to come back to visit relatives. Now he was at his house, and he happened to learn that Song Mu had written a poem to present to Kong Zong. He was even more overjoyed and asked to see him.

Song Mu.

Song Mu followed Kong Zong to the Confucius Residence. The Confucius Residence was bustling with activity. Today, Kong Siqi also entertained guests and friends. Members of the Kong family, city officials, and gentry also came one by one, making the Confucius Residence even more lively.

Song Mu also looked surprised when he saw this battle, but Kong Zong was calm. He led Song Mu into the house and then let Song Mu rest for a while in the study.

The study room of the Kong family was antique and not very spacious, but it was surrounded by bookshelves filled with all kinds of books. Song Mu was immediately attracted as soon as he walked in, but he didn't dare to do anything randomly, so he could only stand at a distance.

Watch and sigh in your heart.

Owning such a study was an unattainable dream for me in the past, but now that I have relived my life, I will have to have a study like this in the future.

Song Mu was planning this in his mind, but he kept looking at the books around him. At this time, the door of the study room was pushed open, and two footsteps sounded.

"Father, this is my dear brother Song Mu."

Kong Zong's voice came, and Song Mu quickly turned around and saw Kong Zong at the door of the study introducing a seven-foot-tall middle-aged man wearing a red round-neck robe and a few strands of beard.

That was Kong Zong's father, Kong Siqi.

Song Mu immediately bowed his hands and spoke quickly.

"I've met the prefect."

"Okay, are you Song Mu?" Kong Siqi stroked his beard and looked Song Mu over, praised, and then walked forward.

"Don't be formal. If you are kind to my Kong family, just get closer to me. Just call me uncle. I will also call you nephew. It turns out that your father and I were classmates and friends back then."

Kong Siqi was kind-hearted, with a kind expression, and he looked at Song Mu with admiration.

"He is worthy of being a member of the Song family with rich cultural background. He is handsome and Ningren. He will surely become a great person in the future."

Kong Siqi smiled and praised Song Mu, then stretched out his hand to gesture towards the door.

"My dear nephew, please come to the banquet with me. You are my guest today."

Song Mu was even more flattered when he heard this. He didn't expect that Kong Siqi came in person to invite him to the table. With such treatment, Song Mu felt a little dazed.

"Song Mu doesn't dare, so please ask your uncle to invite you first." Song Mu said quickly.

Kong Siqi did not shirk, but looked at Song Mu with a little more admiration in his eyes, and then he also stepped forward, with Song Mu and Kong Zong half a step behind.

After passing through the two courtyard gates, Song Mu saw that the noisy sound was getting louder and the scene in front of him was brighter. He came to a large courtyard where there were more than ten banquet tables. It was full of guests and it was extremely lively.

As Kong Siqi entered the hospital, all the guests in the hospital looked over, and their eyes naturally fell on the two people following Kong Siqi.

The guests naturally had no doubts about Kong Zong who was following Kong Siqi. They quickly locked their eyes on Song Mu. When they saw this young man who was about the same age as Kong Zong and had a rather handsome appearance, they also followed him.

Behind me, I was also surprised at the moment.

Kong Siqi just said that he was going to invite a distinguished guest. Is it just to invite such a distinguished guest? Everyone was also whispering at the moment.

"Who is that young man?"

"It seems to be Song Mu, a descendant of the Song family in the city."

"Song Mu from the Wenmai Family? But why is Duke Kong so polite? I'm afraid there's something wrong."

"Brother Kuang doesn't know that there is something strange happening in Shiyang County today. Song Mu wrote a very talented Xingwen poem, but it entered the Dengwen Pavilion."

"Writing poems?! That's amazing. In a few days, these poems will be heard by saints."

"Who says it's not? Everyone says that the Song family's cultural heritage is declining, but now, it's called a blockbuster. Just look at it, the Song family will definitely be extraordinary from now on."

"Hey, he's just a child. If we wait until Song Mu becomes an official, we'll talk about this. I'm afraid you may not know something. A few days ago, this young master of the Song family even ran outside the city to Yanggang..."

As soon as Song Mu entered the room, everyone began to whisper, but before they could say anything, Kong Siqi had already led Song Mu to sit at the main table, and at the same time stood up and raised his hands to the surrounding people.

"Dear relatives, friends, and neighbors, today Kong is hosting a small banquet to entertain me. Firstly, I want to offer sacrifices to the family to thank you for your kindness. Secondly, I also want to thank my nephew Song Mu for completing the cultural heritage of my Kong family."
