Chapter 39 The Wang Family of Taiyuan
After settling Lin Chao and Wang Mi, Wang Sheng was about to leave the photo studio.
Not long after leaving the photo studio, Wang Sheng arrived at the inner courtyard. Before he could go to the study room, Wang Sheng was intercepted by a little man.
"Brother, hurry up and build a snowman with me."
Zhang has been to the palace for some time.
After leaving the palace, Princess Xiangyang took her to the Xunyang Hou Mansion to stay for a few days, but she has not come back yet.
This caused the girl, who was originally a bit wild, to completely let herself go.
What's more, Wang Sheng also found a Xianbei woman to be her female companion.
"Make a snowman?"
Wang Sheng looked at the two snowballs piled up beside Nannan and fell into deep thought.
this...
Is it a snowman?
They look like two balls both vertically and horizontally.
certainly...
Such words cannot be said directly in front of Nannan.
"Brother takes care of everything..."
"snort!"
Before Wang Sheng finished speaking, Nannan crossed her arms.
At this time, in the middle of winter, a goose-feather-like university floated in the sky, and the blue and pink thick clothes wrapped the girl into a ball-like shape.
Her short and long hair, which gradually reached her shoulders, hid her ears. On her red face, her mouth was pouted very high.
"You little girl."
Wang Sheng gently rubbed Nan Nan's little head, and the latter rubbed against Wang Sheng's hand like a kitten.
"Is that good~"
"Just let it go."
Wang Sheng said as if sighing, but Nannan jumped up directly.
"Brother treats my daughter the best."
Speaking of which, ever since he got involved in Sima Yu's incident, he spent less and less time in Taoliu Garden.
When I arrived at Jinguyuan, I spent even less time with my daughter.
In the future, this time of companionship will become even rarer.
Now that I have time, I just want to spend more time with you.
When this little girl gets married, there will be no need to bother him.
Um.
It's time to find a good husband for this girl.
but...
It seems that I have thought too far.
Looking at my daughter's appearance at eight or nine years old, I think it will be seven or eight years before she gets married.
Twelve or thirteen years old...
Wang Sheng would not let others ruin his daughter.
Make a snowman.
First, use a leaf as the snowman's mouth, a carrot as the snowman's nose, two stones as the snowman's eyes, the remaining stones as buttons on the snowman's clothes, and wrap a scarf around the snowman's neck.
On the top, put a broom in the snowman's right hand. The snowman is piled up, and the snowman is chubby, with bright eyes like two black pearls and a red nose...
Um...
This is the snowman in Wang Sheng's imagination.
In fact, Wang Sheng and Nannan worked together to build a snowman...
how to say..
This looks like two snowballs with a few branches, some clothes on them, and a grass crown.
I guess there are indeed two types of people.
But it definitely doesn't look good.
Wang Sheng thought so.
But Nannan obviously didn’t think so.
"This snowman looks like my brother."
Forehead...
Is this a compliment?
If I were like this snowman...
Isn’t this too ugly?
no!
It needs to be repaired and repaired.
So, with the idea of not giving up until the snowman was built, Wang Sheng began his vigorous journey of building a snowman.
Unknowingly, Wang Sheng had been building a snowman here for nearly an hour.
These fingers are all red and now there is no feeling.
He was so cold that he lost consciousness.
"Lord."
Wang Sheng modified the snowman in front of him little by little. Now, the snowman has some human features.
The person coming is Liu Yong.
"What's the matter?"
"There is someone outside the door asking to see you."
people...
"Who is it?"
Since Liu Yong came to see Wang Sheng, it proved that Wang Sheng had to see the person who came.
In other words, it is absolutely valuable.
"A member of the Wang family in Taiyuan."
Taiyuan Wang family?
Wang Sheng frowned slightly.
"I have never had any relationship with the Taiyuan Wang family."
Liu Yong raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Sheng, and said cautiously: "They said they are here to let the master return to the clan."
Return to the clan?
Wang Sheng's expression finally changed.
Could it be that I am still the queen of the Taiyuan Wang family?
Taiyuan Wang family...
Taiyuan Wang family...
Wang Sheng murmured to himself, his eyes uncertain.
Of course the Taiyuan Wang family is now inferior to the Langya Wang family, and even the Donghai Wang family is inferior.
Among the Wang family members, the current Taiyuan Wang family is relatively miserable.
Return to the clan...
Perhaps the Taiyuan Wang family wanted to rely on his power to revitalize the family?
If this is the case, Wang Sheng is not a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and it does not matter.
But if that's the case...
Will there be some losses that outweigh the gains?
Although there were many thoughts in Wang Sheng's mind, they were all completed in an instant.
"Go and bring them to the main hall."
No matter what, these people are still worth meeting.
First of all, Wang Sheng needs to know whether he is a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family.
Your own origin is very important.
Secondly, Wang Sheng had to understand the purpose of their coming to Jingu Garden.
Simply returning to the clan...
There are still other requests.
The Wang family of Taiyuan originated from Taiyuan, Bingzhou. It was very prominent from the Wei, Jin to the Tang Dynasty. It is listed as the fifth clan together with the Li family of Longxi, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Cui family of Boling, the Lu family of Fanyang and the Zheng family of Xingyang.
The Wang family in Jinyang, Taiyuan, was one of the "Seven Surnames and Ten Families" in the Tang Dynasty.
Taiyuan County is the county head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and was also called Bingzhou after the Han Dynasty, so both are interchangeable.
The Wang family of Jinyang and the Wang family of Qixian are the two most important Fang clans, so they often claim to be from Jinyang County, Taiyuan County, or from Qi County, Taiyuan County.
The ancestors of the Wang family in Jinyang were brothers Wang Rou and Wang Ze in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The ancestor of the Wang family in Qixian County was Wang Yun at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Wang Sheng didn't know whether this branch came after Qixian or Jinyang.
Taiyuan Wang family comes from the title, which means "descendant of the emperor" or "descendant of the Wang family".
Tracing back to their origins, they are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor.
Huangdi was the son of Shaodian. His surname was Gongsun and his given name was Xuanyuan. He was born in Shouqiu and grew up in Jishui, so he changed his surname to Ji.
At that time, the fortunes of the Yan Emperor and the Shennong clan were in decline, and the princes invaded and attacked each other, and Chi You was tyrannical. The Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought in Zhuolu.
After Chiyou was executed, the princes respected the Yellow Emperor (Ji Xuanyuan) as the Son of Heaven (actually the leader of the tribal alliance), replacing the Yan Emperor Shennong. After the Yellow Emperor came to the throne, he gathered the princes in Busan, conducted a survey in all directions, melted the Yellow Emperor, and the Yan in one furnace, and opened up China.
The situation of unification is respected as the common ancestor of the Chinese nation.
The Yellow Emperor lived in the hills of Xuanyuan and married a daughter from Xiling, who was named Leizu. Leizu was the Yellow Emperor's main concubine and had two sons: Xuanxiao (Shaohao) and Changyi. Xuanxiao's grandson, Gaoxin, was the emperor's concubine.
Emperor Ku married the daughter of the Chen Feng family and gave birth to Fang Xun, who became Emperor Yao; he married the Rong family's daughter Jian Di, and the emperor married Jian Di, who swallowed the eggs of a mysterious bird.
The contract was long and Zuo Yu had done great work in controlling floods. He was granted a title in Shang and was given the surname Zi. He was the ancestor of Shang. He married Jiang Yuan, a daughter of the Tai family, and became the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty. He gave up his good farming skills and knew how to farm. Emperor Yao promoted him to be a farmer.
Master, he was granted the title of Tai, named Houji, and was the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty.
Basically all the kings in the world are born after Ji Jin.
The ancestor of the Wang surname was Prince Jin, who was the crown prince of Zhou Ling. His name was Jin and his courtesy name was Zi Qiao.
This Prince Jin is certainly a fierce man.
What is "young and virtuous, intelligent and broad-minded, gentle and respectful".
"For example, Shun was a man whose benevolence matched the way of heaven. Although he stuck to his position, he always thought about the people of the world, so that people far away could get his help and accept his benevolent government. Benevolence is in line with the way of heaven. This is called heaven.
.
Just like Yu, he worked holy to control the water without taking credit for himself. Everything was based on the world, and taking and giving must be in line with the right way. This is called sage.
Another example is King Wen, whose main road is benevolence and whose small road is benefit. He has two of the three-thirds of the world. He is still extremely humble and serves the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Although he has the support of the masses, he loses his identity and is imprisoned by the tyrant Zhou.
Not refraining from fighting, this is called benevolence.
Another example is King Wu, who righteously killed one person, the violent Zhou, to benefit the world, and the people all got what they wanted. This is called righteousness.
But...this fierce man only lived to be sixteen years old.
After some processing, it became the Immortal Prince.
Prince Jin's son Zong Jing later became a Situ. Seeing the decline of the Zhou Dynasty and the chaos in the world, he asked the elder to become an official and fled to Taiyuan.
At that time, people still called it the Wang family, so they took Wang as their surname and became the ancestor of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and respected Prince Jin as the ancestor of the surname.
This is the origin of the Wang family in Taiyuan.
The Wang family in Taiyuan has a profound background in terms of ancestry.
After all, he can have some relationship with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
certainly...
Our ancestors were very powerful. Going forward, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, only Wang Yun's lineage could be considered promising.
And Wang Yun...
The end was not good either. Because of his stubbornness, Li Jue, Guo Si and Fan Chou attacked the capital and fell to his death.
The Wang family of Taiyuan sank down again. Although they are looking up a little now, they are not able to lift their head much.
For example, although Wang Ling became a Taiwei in Cao Wei, he was moved to the third clan because he opposed Sima Yi.
The head that had just been raised lowered again.
However, the reason why a high-ranking family is called a high-ranking family naturally has its own vitality.
After Wang Ling, the Wang family in Taiyuan gave birth to another Wang Hun, who took the official position of Situ.
The position of the Third Duke is considered very high.
but...
Situ Wanghun passed away last year.
Among Wang Hun's descendants, Wang Ji was a great talent, but it was a pity that he died early.
Although Wang Cheng is good in talent and learning, he is much worse than Langya Wang family.
Speaking of Wang Hun, Wang Sheng thought of Wei Jie.
Wei Shubao's mother was Wang Hun's daughter.
If he is really the descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he and Wei Jie will really be close to each other.
Sitting in the main hall, Wang Sheng waited slowly. He was now a little curious about who was coming.
Wang Cheng’s room?
Thinking about it, he should be from the Jinyang lineage.
After all, the Qixian lineage is now in considerable decline.
Wang Sheng waited quietly. Of course, his wait did not last long.
A few moments.
People are coming.
More than one person came.
The leader is a middle-aged man in thick brocade clothes.
Behind him, there is an old woman in thick coarse cloth.
Behind the old woman, a family came. The reason why they were called a family was because the three of them looked very similar.
The leader was a middle-aged man, followed by two teenagers who were not much different from Wang Sheng in age.
"Meet Marquis Guangyuan."
The middle-aged man in jinfu bowed to Wang Sheng, and the old woman also bowed to Wang Sheng. On the other hand, the family behind them only slightly bowed their hands to Wang Sheng.
Ah.
It seems interesting.
The corners of Wang Sheng's mouth slowly raised.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Wang Sheng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"My dear Wang Wen, I am at home now."
Wang Wen...
Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment.
"I wonder what your relationship is with the late Situ Wanghun."
"It's my father."
Wang Wen looked pleased with himself.
"It turns out it's Empress Wang Situ, please take your seat."
Wang Sheng waved his hand, and the latter slowly walked up with a smile.
"Who are those people behind here?"
Wang Wen stood up slowly and introduced Wang Sheng.
"This is your father's wet nurse, Po Liu."
Wet nurse?
Wang Sheng's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't express anything.
"Who are those three people behind?"
Seeing Wang Sheng's indifferent look, Wang Wen frowned slightly.
"They are of the same lineage as Junhou. His father and Junhou's grandfather are brothers. Speaking of which, he is also your cousin. These two are both your cousins."
As soon as Wang Wen finished the introduction, the family started to move.
"Nephew, speaking of which, your father's running away from Taiyuan really worried my cousin. Fortunately, my nephew is so prosperous that it doesn't mean he has insulted your father's reputation. It's just that your father... ugh~"
Wang Sheng's cousin sighed deeply, as if he was very sad.
"My cousin is now very weak. As younger brothers, we can help him by helping him."
The two cousins expressed their desire to help Wang Sheng.
....
Wang Sheng watched their performance quietly without any expression.
When they were tired of talking, or rather, Wang Sheng was indifferent and could not arouse their desire to continue talking.
They also became quiet.
In their view, Wang Sheng's behavior was too cold.
It's like... don't believe them.
And actually....
Wang Sheng just didn't believe them.
In other words, I don’t want to believe it.
"The Marquis of Guangyuan is also from the Jinyang lineage of my Taiyuan Wang family. Now that the genealogy has been lost for a long time, why not find a time to go to Jinyang for a grand reunification ceremony, so that my ancestors of the Wang family can meet today's talented people. What do you think?
"
Wang Wen's tone was a little soft, as if he was discussing something.
"It doesn't matter if I go to Jinyang, but I have a confusion, and I hope you can answer it."
"Young Lord, it's okay to ask."
"You said that I am a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan. What proof is there?"
As soon as Wang Sheng said this, Wang Wen didn't express anything, but one of Wang Sheng's 'cousins' reacted immediately.
"What does my cousin mean by this? Do you think that I got attached to the noble Marquis Guangyuan because I saw my cousin become rich?"
Wang Sheng wanted to say: That's right.
However, he changed his mind and kept these words in his heart.
The words you say are cheerful, but the consequences of speaking cheerful words will not be good.
"I am also confused. You all have to convince me. In the past few days, many people say that I belong to his family. There are people with the surname Zhao and Liu. You, with the surname Wang, are better than them.
more convincing."
"You~"
Wang Sheng's 'cousin' was immediately excited by Wang Sheng.
"Stop talking."
Wang Sheng's cousin obviously knew the situation.
"Po Liu is your father's wet nurse, and we are relatives of the monarchs. Even if you and I look alike, we are somewhat similar. Lord, please take a look at the genealogy of my nephew. The genealogy is above.
This cannot be faked.”
Wang Wen nodded and took out an ancient parchment book from his chest.
Judging from his posture, it seems that he has moved the family tree here.
this...
It's even more interesting.
...
Chapter completed!
