The days at home are always full of warmth. Now that it is late winter, things at the dock have slowed down, and most braised pork restaurants are cooking breakfast, so the family often gets together.
Song Mu is still busy with his studies, but he also spends more time helping his uncle and aunt on weekdays.
During this period, Song Mu also visited Kong Zong, Xun Fuzi and the county magistrate Jinchang Wu. Now he has accepted the invitation of a group of scholars from Shiyang County to have a meal together on the New Year's Day.
"Auntie, let's not be too hasty."
Song Mu had just returned from meeting friends outside, and several guests came to the courtyard. They were the owners of Bufang in the east of the city, and they came to visit with large and small bags of things.
The Song family has never had anything to do with them, so this was a bit abrupt. I thought the other party was here to deal with Song Mu, but I didn't expect that the last topic would turn to Yaya Song Mingwei.
They actually wanted to arrange a marriage with the Song family. Perhaps their original target was Song Mu, but Song Mu had already publicized his excuse, so they changed their target.
Although Song Mu was unknown in the past, starting from this year, everyone in Shiyang County said that the Song family had "emerged" again.
To be a dragon means to be a great scholar.
After Song Mu got the case, he wrote so many famous poems in "Tianwenjian" that he had a vague feeling of being a representative of the young literati in Shiyang County.
Moreover, Song Mu is still so young, so he will definitely have to dig into the bag to get the candidates who will be elected in the future. If everything goes well, he will definitely be a high school scholar.
When the time comes, the status will rise and the boat will rise, but the opportunity to ride on the east wind will be lost.
Naturally, there were many people trying to establish a relationship. It turns out that Song Mu and the owner of Bufang had only met once at the birthday party of Master Zhou's mother, and they didn't expect that the other party would find an opportunity.
Of course, when he learned that he was here to propose marriage to Song Mingwei, the second uncle was very embarrassed and refused, but Song Mu smoothed things over with various polite words.
After several arguments, Song Mu finally said just one thing and asked the other party to give up the idea.
"Since ancient times, there has been an orderly order between elders and younger ones."
The implication is that the elder brother will not talk about Song Mingwei's marriage until they have said so.
Of course, Song Mu didn't like this matter very much. In his previous life, he was an only child. In this life, he finally had a younger sister who was so sensible, so naturally he loved her a little more.
"Don't worry, Jingzhao, my uncle and aunt are both familiar with this matter, but they are just stupid and afraid of offending others if they talk too much."
Song Mu nodded, looked at Song Mingwei who was squatting next to Tao Fengming and reading a book with wide eyes, and then said to his second uncle.
"Anyway, we will go to Fucheng in a while. I will stop this matter. Yaya is young, so she can stay at home for at least a few more years. In the future... she will marry into a rich and kind family."
Song Mu had no confidence in saying this, but his uncle and aunt nodded repeatedly.
But looking at the piles of things in the house gave Song Mu a headache, and he didn't know how to send them back when the time came.
While several people were talking, someone else came in from outside the courtyard.
"Brother Song, are you at home?"
There was a rather rough call from outside the door. Song Mu turned his head and saw a strong man coming to the door. The second uncle also poked his head out of the kitchen, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, Lao Wang, why are you here today?"
With that said, the second uncle walked up and opened the door, only to see Butcher Wang, who had a relationship with Song Mu, walking in. His wife was holding a half-grown child in her arms, with a big head and a big head.
"Second brother, isn't it almost the New Year? Tomorrow I will take my wife and children back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year, so I will take some time to come and visit. Hey, Mr. Song, you are here too."
The generous butcher Wang stepped in and when he saw Song Mu in the courtyard, he immediately came up to salute. Song Mu also smiled and saluted him quickly.
"It turns out to be Uncle Wang. It's been a long time."
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while. The last time was September."
Butcher Wang also showed a very happy smile. At this moment, he sat down in the sunny courtyard under the guidance of his second uncle. Song Mu was also pulled to sit down, and they smiled and chatted.
On that day when the city was in turmoil, Song Mu saved his family with a poem. Butcher Wang burst into tears of gratitude and came to pay his respects, saying frankly that he had formed a good relationship with Song Mu before.
Later, the Song family opened a stew restaurant, and Song Mu also thought about cooperating with Butcher Wang. As the two parties kept going back and forth, their relationship became a little closer, and they would come here during the holidays.
"Ruhu is also growing strong now. When I told people about my son's name, they all said it was a good one."
"After that, I told people about what happened that day, and they all said that my son just inherited great luck."
Butcher Wang and his second uncle drank tea and talked, while Aunt Wang and Mrs. Zhu went to the kitchen to work. Song Mu hugged the little fat man and teased him with Yaya.
"We ordinary people don't care about anything. We just want to have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. That's all we need."
Butcher Wang was still emotional, and a little excited to say the least, while the second uncle smiled and explained, looking quite happy.
Not long after, Butcher Wang thought of something and suddenly said something to Song Mu.
"Mr. Song, I don't know whether to say it or not. Do you know that we used to go to Yanggang? Now there have been changes."
"I have taken risks several times. Although it is a bit scary there, the air-conditioning is gone now."
Song Mu also nodded when he heard that the fox demon was actually causing trouble in that place, but it was fooling around with the presence of the demon realm, but the soldiers in the county were unable to exterminate it.
But then it died under Li Moer's sword, and after the battle in the county town, soldiers carefully raided it. The evil spirit had long since dissipated, and now it is just a mass of graves.
Song Mu chatted with Butcher Wang for a few words. Song Mu looked at him and hesitated to speak. He felt a little strange at the moment, so he asked with a smile.
"Uncle Wang, what's the matter with you? Why don't you just tell me?"
Hearing Song Mu ask this, the expression on Butcher Wang's face hesitated for a moment, but he also grinned, glanced at Song Mu, and spoke with some embarrassment.
"That's right, my wife has always thought that you saved my son's life, so she wanted to make him a godfather."
Song Mu opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and Butcher Wang quickly waved his hand and said.
"Of course I know this is inappropriate, so I thought that I would let Ruhu study when he gets older. If Mr. Song becomes a Jinshi by then and you don't dislike it, you can accept him as a disciple..."
Song Mu still looked surprised when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Tao Fengming next to him in disbelief.
Tao Fengming was still lying in the rocking chair, reading a book with no expression on his face.
Someone actually asked me to accept a disciple in front of my master...
When Butcher Wang saw Song Mu's appearance, he might have thought it was too much, so he stood up quickly with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Mr. Song, I'm just a rough guy. If you think it's inappropriate, even if I haven't mentioned it before."
Song Mu immediately turned around and looked at the little guy in his arms who was drooling and laughing at him. He also smiled at this moment, raised his head and said to Butcher Wang.
"Uncle Wang, you are out of touch when you say this. It is no problem to be a master. Ruhu has big eyes, and he is ready to study at a glance."
Butcher Wang was a little stunned when he heard this, but immediately a surprised smile appeared on his face, and even the cooking sound in the kitchen became a little louder.
Apparently they heard it over there too.
Song Mu then smiled and talked about the case of Xing Zhengyang, the head of the Fuzhou case. This made Butcher Wang suddenly feel a little more hopeful. If Ruhu could continue to study in the future, he wouldn't have to face blood every day like his father.
The second uncle also came out to talk at this moment, and the atmosphere was quite lively for a while.
Song Mu was moved in his heart, and he immediately took out his pen and ink and said to Butcher Wang.
"I don't have any good gifts to give to Ruhu during the Chinese New Year today, so why don't I just write out that poem and give it to Ruhu."
Butcher Wang was suddenly surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't help himself at the moment. Song Mu took up his pen and wrote a complete poem for Wang Ruhu, "Luan Ye County in Shiyang City".
