The courtyard was not big, and the small wooden door was difficult to pass through such a large sedan chair, so the sedan chair had to stop at the door, Xiao Mo couldn't help but look at it curiously. At this time, Huan'er had already stepped forward, only to see a middle-aged man about forty years old in a brocade robe walking out of the sedan chair, wearing a jade crown on his head, and his face was ruddy. Behind him was a young man in a white robe, who was outstanding, but his walking posture was very different from that of a personable son.

I saw that the white-robed young man seemed to dislike the robe for being too troublesome, stroked the robe skirt, and was about to stride forward, but was glared at by the middle-aged man's eyes, and immediately put down the robe and skirt, took a step behind restrainedly, and slowly followed. Seeing the middle-aged man and the white-robed young man walking into the courtyard, Grandma Wang got up to greet her, and Xiao Mo, as a junior, naturally got up and went out, standing one step behind Grandma Wang.

Before the middle-aged man arrived, he saluted and said, "Mother is fine, the child has come to see you with Zhiming, how are you doing lately?"

"If you have a heart, you come to see my old man on the fifteenth day of every month, I have always lived well in Qingxiu here, so you don't have to worry." Grandma Wang said gently.

The middle-aged man turned his head and glared at the white-robed young man, and said in a stern tone: "Zhiming, don't give your grandmother a salute yet!"

The white-robed young man scratched his head and leaned forward and saluted, "Grandmother is fine", then glanced at the middle-aged man and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "Grandma, Zhiming was originally going to ride a horse to see you, but my father said that I didn't understand etiquette, and I was afraid that I would make trouble, so the child could only follow his father's sedan chair, otherwise the child could see grandma earlier."

Grandma Wang stretched out her hand and touched the young man's head and said lovingly: "Grandma knows that you have filial piety, but Zhiming is the only son of the third generation of my Wang family, you must not be reckless, etiquette and behavior must not be lost, you should do something." Before the white-robed young man could speak, the middle-aged man snorted and said, "If only he could understand this, he has been in a mess all day long and doesn't do his job." When the white-robed young man was said like this, his face was aggrieved, but he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Xiao Mo watched silently, he had already understood at this time that this middle-aged man and the white-robed young man were the son and grandson of Grandma Wang. But Xiao Mo didn't know why Grandma Wang was in Buyi Lane and which Wang family was.

At this time, the middle-aged man also noticed Xiao Mo, and Grandma Wang hurriedly introduced: "This is Xiao Mo, the second son of the original Xiao family, and now he is a neighbor with my old woman in Buyi Lane, a very good child, and often helps my old woman."

The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Mo meaningfully and said, "Thank you little brother for taking care of my mother", how could he not know about Xiao Mo as a middle-aged man, but he didn't point it out, but he didn't look at Xiao Mo much. Seeing this, Grandma Wang hurriedly said to the middle-aged man: "Zhanpeng, I talked to Xiao Mo today, and found that Xiao Mo is not as rumored, but he is very polite and wise, and he must not be underestimated. Grandma Wang said that Xiao Mo took the name as helping Xiao Mo get the name, but in fact, she was helping Xiao Mo, at that time, the name was given by the elders, and it was very unceremonious for a person to change his name without going through the elders, and the names given by the elders were different.

The middle-aged man naturally knew his mother's eyes, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Mo in surprise. Xiao Mo said embarrassedly: "Grandma Wang looks up to the younger generation too much."

"Xiao Mo, don't be restrained, it's all your own people, come and come, let's go in and sit down and talk slowly, I know you are very puzzled, there is a reason why my old man is here to cultivate." As she spoke, Grandma Wang turned around and walked into the house, and a group of people followed her into the house.

Xiao Mo didn't know what the identity of this Grandma Wang was until this time.

After everyone sat down, Grandma Wang sighed to Xiao Mo: "My Wang family was originally in Langya, but the times have changed, and my Wang family has also declined, and our branch is even more so."

It turned out that the Wang family was originally one of the four major families of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. And the kings of the four major families at that time, Xie, Huan, and Yu, everyone knew and everyone knew about it.

The Langya royal family is a famous family in history, with many celebrities and rich countries.

Langya Wang's family, its ancestor is the son of King Zhou Huan, the prince became a father, originally surnamed Ji, and later because of meritorious service, he was given the surname Wang.

Qin Shi Huang's famous general Wang Jian when he swept Liuhe, and Wang Ji, the counselor who praised the "beauty of the world" in the Book of Han, are the ancestors of the Wang family. Of course, the most glorious time of the Wang family was in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. "The king and the horse share the world." The horse here is the Sima family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and this sentence was said by Sima Rui, the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time.

"If you don't take the king as the queen, you must take the king as the prime minister", you can imagine how powerful the Wang family was at that time. Even the Wang and Xie in the later poems "Wang Xie Tang Qianyan in the Old Times" refer to the Wang family and the Xie family at that time.

The Langya Wang family is not only powerful, politically invincible, but also extraordinary in literature and art, "the beginning of osmanthus on the mountain vagina, Wang Xie is full of Jin books" Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Wang Huizhi are all people of the Wang family. During the entire period of the Six Dynasties, there were 161 people in the Langya Wang family who were officials of the fifth grade or more, 15 people who were official of the first grade, and there were countless literati and ink writers.

However, how can there be a long-lasting family, with the continuous change of dynasties, the Wang family has gradually declined, from a big family to different branches, and it is becoming more and more difficult for talents to appear. In particular, Grandma Wang's branch, to Grandma Wang's generation, the Wang family is already a single seedling in every generation, and the middle-aged man who came is Grandma Wang's only son Wang Zhanpeng, whose character is filial piety, and is also the head of the Luoyang Wang family.

But fortunately, the heads of each generation are still shrewd and diligent, although the Wang family is no longer the grand occasion of the year, but also has the status of one of the three major families in Luoyang, although it cannot be rich and rival the country, but it is also a rich party. Since Grandma Wang married into the Luoyang Wang family, until she became the main mother of the Wang family, the old lady, she has witnessed the prosperity and decline of the Luoyang Wang family.

However, the Wang family may have run out of luck for so many years, and all the hopes of the Wang family are pinned on this third-generation single seedling, but Wang Zhiming does not have that consciousness, he is confused all day long, his mind is not bad, but he is inactive, not motivated, it doesn't matter if he encounters things, and he is afraid of arguing with others.

This is nothing if it is put on the son-in-law of other big families, but if it is put on Wang Zhiming, the only son of the third generation of the Wang family, he is afraid that it will be a real family crisis. Therefore, Grandma Wang devoted herself to the Buddha, and even ate fast and Qingxiu in Buyi Lane, praying for the blessing of the Wang family, and also prayed for Wang Zhiming, hoping that her grandson could do something, and hoped that the Wang family could prosper again.

"Grandma, what's in that bowl in Huan'er's hand? Why hasn't Zhiming seen it? Just as Grandma Wang mentioned that she hoped that Wang Zhiming could do something, Wang Zhiming suddenly asked excitedly. When he interrupted like this, Wang Zhanpeng couldn't help but look over.

"Zhiming, this is a rare thing, you can see it by looking at it," Grandma Wang said with a smile. Wang Zhiming picked up a steamed bun and frowned, "What is this?" Can I eat it? What is it made of, so fine and white and soft, say it quickly. ”

At this time, Wang Zhanpeng also took a steamed bun, glared at Wang Zhiming and said, "What do you know?" I don't have any grains, let me stay quietly, if you are rude like you, you will defeat my Wang family sooner or later. Then he turned around and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a very ordinary steamed bun, but it's not a wheat husk at all, which is strange." As he spoke, he tore off a piece and tasted it: "Although I have never eaten steamed bread, but this snow-white steamed bread is soft and clean, but it has a different flavor, I am afraid it is not easy to make this, Huan'er, I didn't expect you to come here with the old lady to learn a rare craft." ”

"Master, Huan'er doesn't have this ability, this is all done by Xiao Gongzi." Huan'er also knows the number of etiquette, which will also change the name of Mo, "Xiao Gongzi made a rare thing that can make particularly white flour." ”

Wang Zhanpeng couldn't help but look surprised, and said to Xiao Mo: "I didn't expect Little Brother Xiao to have such talents, I don't know if you can let me see this rare thing?"

Xiao Mo hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang has won the award, and the juniors just tinkered with some things in their spare time, and if they can't be put on the stage, Uncle Wang wants to see the juniors and get it." As she spoke, she was about to get up, and at this time, Xiaoya said on the side: "Young master, let's go, how can you let the young master do this kind of rough work, young master, you can accompany Master Wang and them more", without waiting for Xiao Mo to speak, he ran towards the courtyard.

Wang Zhanpeng smiled and said: "It's a sensible maid, Sixi, you can also go with you and see if you can help." I saw that the young man named Sixi answered, and ran out of the courtyard with him.
