Tongxin Town was located on the east side of Chaoyun Manor. It was only three to four miles away and could be said to be very close.
The Chaoyun Manor had a good relationship with Tongxin Town as they often had to buy things from the shops in Tongxin Town. Many people in Tongxin Town knew about the new Lord.
Hence, when they saw Song Ankang bringing Qiu Shi, the servant girl, and Jiang Yunhe to Tongxin Town, not many people were surprised. Everyone was still very enthusiastic.
“This is the new Lord of Chaoyun Manor, the son-in-law of the Tang family’s eldest daughter, the capital’s most filial son, Mr. Song Ankang. Would the three of you like to come to my place to drink a bowl of tofu pudding? My sweet tofu pudding is very famous in Tongxin Town.”
“The Most Filal Son of Song, this is a fried dough stick that my family just fried. Try it. It’s free.”
“Child, in the future, you have to be like the most filial son of the Song family. You have to show filial piety to your parents and respect your elders. Only then will a daughter from a good family be willing to marry you.”
“Filal Son of the Song family, do you eat mountain eggs? If you want them, you only need pay half the price. I admire filial sons like you the most. My parents are still talking about you this year.”
Along the way, many people in the town hurriedly greeted Song Ankang, which surprised Song Ankang. He didn’t expect the host body to be so famous in the town.
Song Ankang could tell that everyone respected and loved him from the bottom of their hearts. They were not feigning civility, nor were they fawning over him because of his status as the owner of Chaoyun Manor. Clearly, it was all because of the Host body’s status as the most filial son in the capital.
China was governed by filial piety, and therefore placed great importance on filial piety. Song Ankang didn’t have much of an idea about it when he was at Chaoyun Manor, but he realized it after coming out.
Song Ankang was a little overwhelmed by everyone’s enthusiasm. He hurriedly brought Qiu Shi and Jiang Yunhe, and rushed to a nearby fabric shop. Before he left, he heard the discussions around him.
“You actually don’t even know the son of the great Song Dynasty? You are truly ignorant and ill-informed. Then, have you ever heard of the story of abandoning one’s life for one’s relatives and selling one’s body to bury one’s relatives? The story is about the most filal son of the Song Dynasty.”
“Ah… So that person just now was the protagonist who gave up his life to become a live-in son-in-law and sold his body to bury his parents. It was said that these two matters were already included in the twenty-four filial piety. The protagonist was even faintly praised as the number one filial son in China. I didn’t expect it to be that young master.”
“Mr. Song’s filial piety is earth-shattering. The capital’s number one filial son deserves his reputation. No one in the entire China can match up to Mr. Song in this aspect. No wonder many people call him the number one filial son in China.”
“Good things come to good people. If it weren’t for that, the eldest daughter of the Tang family wouldn’t have taken a liking to Mr. Song and taken him in as her live-in husband. Now that the hardships have passed and the good times have come, he has become the owner of the Imperial Chaoyun Manor Plantation. He has thousands of acres of fertile land and will enjoy endless wealth in the future.”
“This is what the most filial son of the Song family deserves. Others can’t be jealous of him. If I had such a son, I would die in peace.”
Am I so filial, no, is the host body so filial?
Song Ankang was silent. Even though he already knew a lot of things from the host body’s memory, he still scoffed at it and felt that the host body was too pedantic.
Moreover, this filial piety did not seem to be well received by many people, nor was it useful. If not for this, he would not have been sent to Chaoyun Manor. However, he did not expect that it would have such a great influence among the common people.
After walking around Tongxin Town, Song Ankang realized that the wealth left behind by the host body of the body was astonishing. It might not be real resources, but it could bring him great help and convenience.
Filial piety was the most important. Not only on Earth, but in the this world as well.
This made Song Ankang change his impression of the host body a lot. Suddenly, he felt that he was much more compatible with the host body. His soul and mental willpower became much stronger.
Especially when there seemed to be less estrangement between him and this world.
Even though he had burst forth with dazzling brilliance during the last moments of his life on Earth, he was not completely useless in a parallel world. In fact, he was even more brilliant than himself on Earth.

Perhaps the reason why he was able to transmigrate and reincarnate and inherit everything from the host body of this parallel world was not because he was obsessed, but because the host body of this world was obsessed.
It was so that he could fulfill the host body’s wish. That was why Song Ankang came from Earth with the unimaginable Fate-Defying Heavenly Book.
When they arrived at the best fabric shop in Tongxin Town, Qiushi and Jiang Yunhe were in the shop choosing suitable fabrics for Song Ankang. The Tang family of Huangshan was mainly in the silk and clothing business, so they were naturally very good at fabric.
As one of Tang Yelan’s four maidservants, Qiu Zhenzhen was an expert in this aspect. Jiang Yun and Song Ankang were also quite skilled under the influence of his influence. Only Song Ankang was a layman.
Song Ankang was completely clueless when he saw how enthusiastic the two of them were in their selection. Hence, he strolled around and did not dare to go too far.
Even though it was much safer during the day, and the demons and ghosts preferred to appear at night, Song Ankang, who was reborn, didn’t dare to be careless.
Someone who had already died once, being able to transmigrate and be reborn once was already a blessing from heaven. It was probably impossible for him to do it again.
Once he died, he would really die. Song Ankang was afraid.
However, many things wouldn’t happen just because you were afraid or because it rarely happened.
When he walked to the side of the fabric shop, Song Ankang was surprised to discover that there was actually a small alley paved with limestone. He had also passed by this place earlier, but he did not notice it.
A light drizzle began to fall in the alley. This was a rainy alley, and in the alley was a lilac-like girl.
When he saw the lady holding the oil paper umbrella with her back facing him, Song Ankang immediately thought of the poem Dai Wangshu wrote.
I hope to meet a lilac-like
girl with sorrow
She has
A lilac-like color
A lilac-like fragrance
A lilac-like sorrow
Song Ankang walked towards the rainy alley in a baffling manner, hoping to see Miss Ding Xiang’s face. Just her back view was so beautiful, so her face must not be too bad.
However, he felt that something was amiss.

Before Song Ankang could think about it, he saw that girl twisting her waist in the rain alley. Her alluring appearance attracted Song Ankang’s attention, causing him to walk even faster and head into the rain alley.
“Pata, pata, pata…”
Song Ankang’s footsteps were a little heavy. It startled the charming girl and made her stop in her tracks. Song Ankang was delighted and quickened his pace.
Just as he was about to catch up to the lilac girl and see her side profile, he saw her turn around and smile at him.
What kind of face was that? It was crawling with holes and covered in filth. maggots would fall from the holes.
