Chapter 545 Remember to burn incense sticks for Ling Zun
Wang Mi's extraordinary achievements in Xiangyang this time were of course of great benefit to him personally. Those in the court could not pretend not to have seen it, even if they wanted to.
But for the Wang family, Wang Zhiyuan, who usually only knows how to follow Sima Yao, talk and laugh, and does not do anything serious, definitely should not receive such a great feat.
It can be described as a sudden rise.
What will the people of the Wang family think of him? Will the return of Wang Mi, who has made great military exploits, bring joy or sorrow to the Wang family?
"I'll just stay here and see if any of the Wang family will come to see me!" Wang Mi turned over, and a clever plan came into being.
"Shilang Wang, the prince's subordinates have already been there, and the news has been sent."
Wang Mi is not a stupid person. He may not return home, but he has to give the news. After all, the Wang family is also a respectable family. Now these people must be waiting for Wang Mi to return home, and may even let him visit Wuyi Lane.
One lap, give it a good shake.
How could the Wang family let such a hungry group of people sleep over at another house without giving any news?
"Very good."
"What did they say?"
The person responsible for delivering the letter was the team leader Zeng Jing who followed him all the way back to Jiankang from Xiangyang. Zeng Jing was sober-minded and shrewd. When he was in Xiangyang, he saw that if he wanted to do well in the future, he must hold on tightly.
Wang Mi's thighs.
And today, after seeing the strange behavior of the Wang family, he came up with an idea.
If he wants to get along well in Jiankang City, he must separate Wang Mi from the Wang family. Zeng Jing's mission is to hold onto Wang Mi's thigh, not the entire Langya Wang family!
"My subordinates spoke softly. The high-ranking Wang family members were quite enthusiastic when they heard that it was their subordinates who came to deliver the letter. Although the head of the family did not come out, General Wang came out and agreed."
General Wang?
It seems that it is Wang Youshi.
Wang Mi recalled this man's temperament. He was a hot-tempered general who had always been at odds with Wang Mi in his family.
He was the first to come out to meet guests, which can only mean that he definitely did not mean to welcome guests.
"General Wang's tone is not good," Wang Mi guessed. Zeng Jing thought about it and told the truth.
"It's really not good."
"But I didn't say anything too unpleasant. I just said that the minister was very arrogant. I heard that the imperial court had given me a new house as a reward. Do you plan to move directly to the new house?"
Wang Mi smiled: He knew the rewards from the imperial court so clearly, no wonder he was even more jealous.
"Youshi is just like that, and he has no ill intentions."
"anything else?"
What Wang Mi wants to know most is actually this news. Before formally contacting the Wang family, he should first get to know their details.
In this regard, Zeng Jing is obviously a good channel.
Zeng Jing was originally ready to leave, but he suddenly remembered that there were indeed things that had not been reported in time. When he thought of those major events that the Wang family had explained, he almost slapped himself in the face with remorse.
"The servant is right, there are indeed more, but it is not what General Wang said. General Wang chatted with his subordinates for a few words and was about to send me away. At this moment, another boy ran out from the yard,
Let me take the message and say that it is the order of the master of the family. Your father is newly mourned. After finishing the things at hand, you should go home quickly and remember to burn a stick of incense for your father."
Although the man was still lying down and weak, Wang Mi was deeply shocked.
This Wang Hui is actually very talented.
Speaking of the head of the family, the current head of the Wang family is none other than the current leader Wang Hui and Wang Jingwen.
In order to urge Wang Mi to return home as soon as possible, Wang Hui actually raised the banner of Wang Shao, which was really hard to refuse.
This excuse that Wang Hui made can be said to have hit Wang Mi's target.
It seems that he can't stay in this He Mansion for a few days.
In the spring of the eighth year of Taiyuan, Wang Mi's biological father Wang Shao passed away. Why should we emphasize his biological father? Because when Wang Mi was very young, he was adopted to his uncle Wang Xie who had no offspring. In a big family
Internally, this is a very common operation.
On the one hand, of course, it was to extend a bloodline for relatives who had no heirs, so from this aspect, in the ancient aristocratic families, infertility was not a problem that they were ashamed to talk about at all.
You can't give birth, but there are many people who can give birth. If we pass on our excess to you, we are all one family. There is no problem at all, not even any quarrel.
On the other hand, it is also a more realistic side. Take Wang Mi's nominal father Wang Xie as an example. He has a title, but he himself is sterile.
This resulted in the fact that his hereditary title was about to become vacant and there was no successor.
How is this possible?
Even within aristocratic families, the titles that can be inherited are limited, and not everyone can obtain them.
How can we bear to waste such precious resources?
Of course, the first priority is to do everything possible to occupy all the titles that can be inherited.
It is precisely because of this level of interest that adoption has become a common practice among aristocratic families.
Therefore, adopting Wang Mi to Wang Xie was actually a correct decision made by his biological father Wang Shao for Wang Mi's future.
You see, with Wang Xie's title at his side, Wang Mi could embark on an official career at a young age. Without this adoptive status, Wang Shao would have many sons of his own, and his title would not be enough to distribute to his heirs. Wang Mi
The ranking is relatively low, so you might not be able to grab any of them!
Therefore, Wang Mi, who has dual identities, now has such a problem. He has to attend to the death anniversary of his nominal father, and his biological father also passed away this spring, so he cannot be absent from the funeral arrangements.
"It's really hard to be a son!"
"What's even more difficult is that my son has two fathers!"
Zeng Jing also left, and Wang Mi sighed like this, and with this sigh, he went to meet Duke Zhou...

Jiangshoufang has been an important department in successive imperial courts since the Qin and Han dynasties. Its status is deeply rooted and can be said to be unshakable.
Compared with those scattered official agencies that are easily abolished, or have redundant staff and redundant duties, the status of the workshop can be said to be inviolable.
Which court does not need to build a palace?
Which court does not need wooden construction?
Broadly speaking, all craftsmanship departments in the world belong to workshop management, including those who make iron, make candles, and make spices.
The head of Jiang's workshop is the master craftsman.
If Wang Mi wants to work in the general workshop, he must have a good relationship with the general master craftsman. However, Wang Mi has no intention of dealing with the general master craftsman all the time. Sima Yao has already assigned the person he needs to him.
No matter which dynasty or generation, the workshop was always within the scope of the inner court, and the Jin Dynasty was no exception.
On the east side of Jiankang Palace, there is a Yongxiang, with Yeting Palace on one side and Jiang Workshop on the other.
The workshop occupies a much larger area than the Yeting Palace, because it has to take over all the craftsmen's departments of the inner court, and these craftsmen are not just like ordinary civil servants who have a room and can work. Iron-making requires a blast furnace for making iron.
, boiling salt also requires a place to dry.
These sites are connected into one area, so the scale of the workshop can be imagined.
But Wang Mi, who set foot in Jiang's workshop for the first time, was unprepared for all this at first.
