Fallen leaves return to their roots, and their ancestors have their roots. This is something engraved in the bones of the people of every historical dynasty.
On this day, Song Mu completed these two things, two things that in the eyes of others were enough to stand upright.
Although the Song family is a century-old family, many of these neighbors have witnessed the rise and fall of the Song family.
They also know better that such a huge family has been reduced to a single branch, and it will be difficult to regain the glory of their ancestors.
But today, they felt that Song Mu had cleared away all the layers of gloom for the Song family.
This young man, who is only eighteen years old, is gradually re-supporting the Song family, which has been extremely dilapidated.
The heroic young man standing in the courtyard and holding hands with everyone will definitely become another great scholar from the Song family in the future, a figure who will bring the Song family back to glory.
After getting the head of the case and the solution, his future is unimaginable.
The ordinary people thought so, and the officials in the city even saw the light on Song Mu.
When Song Mu just returned to the alley, the news at the city gate had already reached the county government. Jin Changwu, who was getting up early for work, immediately put down the ink pen in his hand when he heard the news about Song Mu's return.
The other officials immediately took action upon hearing the news, and many even hurriedly sent their servants to buy gifts, and headed towards the Song residence one after another.
Not long ago, when Song Liangda came back with the plaque of Jieyuan, they all came to visit him, but it was somewhat of a courtesy. Until today, when Song Mu came back, everything was different.
A talented man who is famous in Jiangnan West Road, Wolong should try his best to make friends with him.
At this moment, the street where Song's residence is located has been surrounded by water. The Song family's gates are like a city, and the whole yard is full of people.
Song Mu had just finished paying homage to his ancestors with Song Liangda. At this moment, Song Liangda wanted to sort out his father's remains and ask Song Mu to come out to help deal with the people who were constantly gathering.
"Song Jieyuan, do you still remember me? I gave you bean curds when you were a child."
"What are you talking about, Lao Li? You are really trying to force a relationship with a shameless face."
"Hey, what I said is true. Song Jieyuan liked to eat my tofu pudding at that time."
In the yard, a man with a red face was arguing with someone, and at this moment, he heard Song Mu in front of the main house holding his hands and saying.
"Of course I remember Uncle Li. Uncles and aunts, Song Mu is very grateful to everyone for coming today. Today is the day when Song Mu returns to his hometown, but it is also the day when the souls of my father, mother and father return. I have returned from Yuzhang City and finally returned to my hometown.
The Song family has regained its former glory and finally returned home with its parents."
When Song Mu said this, everyone in the audience was moved.
"So today, my uncle has specially ordered me to entertain all my relatives, friends and neighbors. However, my Song family is very small now, but I feel ashamed. I would like to trouble you uncles and aunts to lend a hand and prepare this banquet for my Song family."
Song Mu said it very sincerely, and everyone nodded at this moment. Uncle Lin Bo came forward, patted his chest and said to Song Mu.
"Brother Mu... don't worry, Mr. Xie Yuan. As neighbors, we must all help in this matter. Today we also have to give Brother Song a ride, and together we can comfort the old man's spirit in heaven."
The others immediately followed suit and spoke from the bottom of their hearts.
When Song Mu saw this, he thanked him repeatedly. He immediately took out a large amount of silver from his arms and asked several uncles and elders to help him purchase the banquet. He held a long street banquet in this alley and entertained the people of the city for three days.
The lintel of the Song family is now standing upright, and Song Liang's soul returns to his hometown to congratulate him.
Song Mu's behavior turned out to be quite orderly, and could even be said to be somewhat dignified. Everyone admired Song Mu even more. At this moment, they felt that the Song family would surely prosper in the future with Song Mu as a pillar who was affectionate, knowledgeable, and sensible.
Here, Song Mu was still chatting with some neighbor elders in the courtyard, mostly about children studying, but a group of people had already crowded in from the alley over there.
They are all officials wearing red robes, and the leader, Jin Changwu, has arrived here at this moment.
Sure enough, when they reached the door of Song's house, Jin Changwu's laughter could already be heard.
"Song Mu, you are back. Why don't you tell me first so that I can welcome you from ten miles away?"
With that said, a group of officials from Shiyang County filed in, but they also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. At that moment, a village elder stepped forward to explain a few words, and Jin Changwu's face also changed, and he felt a little ashamed at this moment.
He stepped forward and held hands with Song Mu.
"It turns out that your father-in-law has finally invited us back today. Song Mu, please forgive me for being presumptuous."
"It's okay, sir. I'm here in person. Song Mu is flattered."
Song Mu also hurriedly raised his hands and spoke, bowed and exchanged a few words with Jin Changwu, but then looked at Ouyang Hong who was walking next to him, and also bowed hurriedly at this moment.
"My condolences, Xie Yuanlang, long time no see, but today you look even more powerful."
Ouyang Hong looked Song Mu up and down, stroking his beard, with a look of admiration on his face. However, he then focused on asking about Song Liangtong, and when he heard Song Mu talk about it, his expression surged.
.
Only then did Ouyang Hong and others realize how difficult it was for Song Mu to do such a thing. Moreover, at such an age, it was not easy to bring justice to the family and bury the bones of his parents.
Ouyang Hong sighed and looked at Song Mu with a look of relief on his face.
"I remember when Shanran talked freely with me, and when he talked about you, he always smiled and said that he didn't want you to inherit his father's legacy. As long as he lived a safe life, that would be enough. But now..."
"You can inherit the glory of your father's generation and return the glory of your ancestors. Song Mu, I saw you right."
The word Shan Ran in Ouyang Hong's mouth was Song Liangtong's name. At this moment, Ouyang Hong looked at Song Mu's eyes and recalled Song Mu's blockbuster with a bit of emotion.
Song Mu stood up and saluted at this moment, but Ouyang Hong didn't say anything about it. He only said that he should carry the coffin and bury him in a few days.

Song Mu bowed deeply at this moment and said, Ouyang Hong also waved his hands repeatedly. At that moment, several people sat down in the courtyard and took Song Mu to chat about the scene in Yuzhang City, especially how Song Mu triggered those two
The vision caused a stir among the people in the city.
The other people who were standing stiffly and listening in the courtyard also had expressions of shock at this moment, and even exclaimed in surprise. They felt that it was not easy for Song Mu, Jie Yuanlang, to come here.
It was not until noon that everyone put aside the matter of Song Mu. The banquet that had been prepared nervously had already started. Song Mu naturally invited Jin Changwu and others to sit in the room.
Everyone clinked glasses with each other, and Song Liangda had finally adjusted himself. He was listening to a village elder next to him about the arrangements for the upcoming funeral.
However, Jin Changwu and others stepped forward to toast Tao Fengming, and then looked at Song Mu.
"One more thing. This time, Song Mu, you become the Jieyuan of Jiangnan West Road. The imperial court is going to build a Jieyuan memorial arch for you. We haven't discussed any countermeasures yet, but I don't know what you think, Song Mu?"
Jin Changwu said something to Song Mu next to him at this moment. Song Mu was also stunned for a moment before speaking.
"Can we erect it outside the northern city wall to express our gratitude to Heaven? It will also be considered as a reminder to the common people that our Shiyang County is extraordinary."
Jin Changwu and others nodded when they heard this, but Song Mu also thought of something and said to Jin Changwu at this moment.
"Sir, I have something else to ask of you."
"Now I have taken back the ancestral hall from the Song family in Hongzhou, but we have finally returned to our roots, and most of our ancestors grew up in Shiyang County."
“But I wonder if there is still land for sale in the city?”
Hearing this, Jin Changwu was stunned and looked at Song Mu with some doubts.
"Song Mu, what do you mean?"
Song Mu glanced at Song Liangda next to him, looking very energetic at the moment.
"I am planning to move the Song Ancestral Hall back to Shiyang County. Every brick and tile will be moved back intact."
"This will be the real Shiyang Song family in the future."
