Seeing Song Bingyun's gaze, Song Degong smiled and said, "Grandfather also has a gift for you."
As his words fell, he asked the butler to bring over a couplet, and then he unfolded it.
The couplet was written by Song Degong himself, who had quite a foundation in calligraphy skills.
The first line read: "A tree sprouts a thousand branches, all sharing the same root"; the second line read: "Rivers may have myriad tributaries, but all share the same source."
"This is the ancestral couplet from the Song Family Ancestral Hall, Bingyun, you should remember it, right?"
"Of course, I remember," Song Bingyun replied. "Since I was young, you have admonished us that the reason our Song Family can prosper is because we always keep the ancestral teachings in mind."
"I hope that all the Song family members know that the descendants of the Song Family are all from the same root and should work together towards the same direction!"
