The next morning.

Wang Mang got up early to wash up, and then went to the Queen Mother's place to say hello. After completing these daily routines, Wang Mang went to the Grand Sima's Mansion in Jiadi, Beique.

After arriving at Da Sima's Mansion, Wang Mang did not go straight into the mansion because of his status. He was still very respectful and polite and bothered the concierge to inform him before he entered the mansion.

At this moment, the Grand Sima Wang Yin was changing clothes and washing up under the service of his slaves. Wang Mang entered Wang Yin's bedroom, stood outside the screen and worshiped Wang Yin: "My nephew Wang Mang, meet your uncle."

After Wang Yin heard Wang Mang's voice, she smiled kindly and said, "Come in."

Wang Mang entered behind the screen, then skillfully took over the work from the slave who was dressing Wang Yin, and helped Wang Yin change her clothes very carefully.

Wang Yin enjoyed Wang Mang's service and felt very comfortable. This nephew was really pure and filial.

Wang Yin asked: "Are you still used to being in Tianlu Pavilion?"

When Wang Mang heard that Wang Yin was concerned about his work, he was secretly happy. This is a good thing!

Being asked this question must give Wang Mang a new opportunity.

Wang Mang replied respectfully: "Everything goes well for my nephew in Tianlu Pavilion. My colleagues in the pavilion are also friendly, especially Liu Xin and Yang Xiong, who have given my nephew a lot of help."

When Wang Yin heard these two names, he had an impression. They seemed to be among the Huang family men with outstanding literary talents. Wang Yin was very pleased to see that his nephew could get along with these outstanding talents so quickly.

Wang Yin said with satisfaction: "Yes, I have lived up to my uncle's hard work."

After praising Wang Mang, Wang Yin said again: "Last night your brother Kuang came back and shouted, saying that he had a treasure as a gift. Do you know what it was?"

Wang Mang smiled and said: "The treasure that Brother Kuang mentioned should be the new paper made by my nephew and Brother Kuang and Brother Shun."

Wang Yin made a curious noise, looked at Wang Mang and asked: "New paper?"

Although paper is precious, to Wang Yin, it is just an ordinary thing. If he wants it, the Shaofu can prepare countless for him immediately.

Therefore, in Wang Yin's heart, paper is not considered a treasure.

Seeing Wang Yin's reaction, Wang Mang knew that Wang Yin might not think much of the so-called new paper. Then Wang Mang said: "Uncle, you can ask Brother Kuang to bring the new paper to you, and then make a conclusion after checking it."

Wang Yin still trusts Wang Mang. He had already fallen asleep last night, but Wang Kuang woke him up and asked him what treasure he wanted to offer.

It was inappropriate for Wang Yin to hear his son shouting and screaming like this. What's more, Wang Yin is a great Sima who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. What treasure has he not seen?

Therefore, when Wang Yin got angry, he ordered someone to lock Wang Kuang tightly so that he could no longer make noise in his ears.

Now that Wang Yin heard what Wang Mang said again, he suddenly became interested and wanted to see what kind of treasure this so-called new paper was?

At this moment, Wang Yin had finished changing under Wang Mang's service. He turned around and said to the servant waiting on the side: "Go and call Brother Kuang. Let him bring the new paper that Brother Mang said."

After hearing Wang Yin's order, the servants retreated to find Wang Kuang.

At this moment, Wang Kuang was sitting angrily in his house, sulking. He really couldn't figure it out that he wanted to offer a treasure, but in the end he was punished by his father and sentenced to confinement.

"I shouldn't have offered the treasure! This treasure should be enjoyed exclusively by Brother Mang and I!"

Wang Kuang was still angry, and now he regretted that he had to dedicate the new paper to his father, Wang Yin.

Now not only has the new paper not been presented, but I have also been fined and grounded, which is a huge loss.

Just when Wang Kuang was feeling depressed, the servant came to summon him.

"Brother Kuang, Da Sima asked you to bring a new piece of paper to meet you."

After Wang Kuang heard the voice of the servants outside, he suddenly said angrily: "I won't go!"

When the servant heard Wang Kuang's angry words, it was hard to do, so he quickly said: "Brother Kuang, please don't get angry with Da Sima. Brother Mang came this morning, and Brother Mang has already explained it to you. Da Sima is waiting now.

You are welcome."

When Wang Kuang heard that Wang Mang was coming, he even explained it to him. He was overjoyed. Brother Mang is a good person!

Wang Kuang was no longer angry. He immediately came out of his house, looked at the servant who delivered the message and said, "Go back and report, I will be here later."

At this time, Wang Kuang is going to fetch a cart of new paper he brought back last night. Otherwise, if he goes there empty-handed, he will definitely be scolded by his father again.

Besides, Wang Mang is here this time. If Wang Mang is implicated and punished together, Wang Kuang will feel very sorry.

Soon Wang Kuang found a cart of new paper that he had brought back last night. He personally moved a pile of paper and then went to Wang Yin's place.

When they arrived at Wang Yin's place, Wang Yin saw his son coming in with a pile of slightly yellowed new paper. He was also extremely surprised at the time. The color of this paper was much lighter than the paper in the Shaofu.

It can be seen that this paper is indeed outstanding.

Wang Kuang held the stack of new papers and bowed to Wang Yin: "My son, please pay homage to your father."

Wang Yin looked at the new paper in Wang Kuang's hand and said, "Is this your new paper?"

Wang Kuang said happily: "Exactly."

Wang Yin said: "Take it and let me have a look."

Wang Kuang immediately sent the new paper he was holding to Wang Yin. Wang Yin reached out and touched the new paper. It felt a little soft and not as solid as the paper made by Shaofu.

Wang Yin turned to look at Wang Mang and asked doubtfully: "What is the use of this paper? It should be impossible to write on such a soft paper, right?"

Wang Mang immediately replied: "Uncle, in my opinion, this paper cannot be written on. But this paper is also of great use!"

Before Wang Mang could explain, Wang Kuang on the side rushed to start, "Father, can you usually go to the toilet?"

After hearing his son's voice, Wang Yin's face suddenly darkened. He said this so early in the morning, how could he not make people feel happy?

Seeing Wang Yin's face change, as if he was about to get angry, Wang Mang hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't be upset! Brother Kuang is just outspoken. Therefore, paper is soft and absorbs water. If you use this paper to replace toilet cleaning materials, the effect will be a hundred times better."

The original thing! Therefore, my nephew and Brother Kuang call it a treasure, specially dedicated to my uncle!"

After Wang Yin heard Wang Mang's explanation, his expression improved, but he still glared at Wang Kuang angrily, lamenting that his children were not as sensible and filial as Wang Mang.

Wang Yin touched the soft new paper again, and was suddenly surprised. She felt that what Wang Mang said was true. It would be very convenient to use this thing to replace the brocade cloth used in daily life.

Wang Yin asked again: "What is the name of this paper?"

As soon as Wang Mang heard this, he understood Wang Yin's thoughts. It was obvious that Wang Yin was already interested in this paper.

Wang Mang said: "The name of this paper is Jierou paper."

Wang Mang opened his mouth and immediately snatched the name of a certain brand of toilet paper from later generations.

Anyway, he was in the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, so he was still afraid that Jierou would send him a lawyer's letter accusing him of infringement?

Therefore, if you rob it, you will rob it. After all, you robbed it two thousand years in advance. Even if you sue for infringement, Jierou will infringe him!

Wang Yin was very satisfied with the name Jierou. He continued to stroke the soft papers and said: "Jierou, not bad. This name is very good!"

After praising the name of the paper, Wang Yin looked at Wang Mang again and said: "Your uncle is very touched by your filial piety. But craftsmanship is a small skill, and in the future you need to focus more on the study of Confucian classics."

Wang Mang bowed and said, "Thank you uncle for your teaching. My nephew has taken note of it."

Then Wang Yin looked at Wang Kuang again and said without a trace of anger: "In the future, I will learn more from your brother, be less impetuous, be more calm, and stop being so ungrateful."

Then, Wang Yin said to Wang Mang with serious words: "My Wang family is now at the top of the mountain. If we want to continue to maintain the undefeated family, we have to rely on your future efforts. Don't let the Wang family fall."

Wang Mang and Wang Kuang worshiped together: "My nephew (child), please remember the teachings."

After Wang Yin finished educating Wang Mang and Wang Kuang, he said: "Send some of this paper to you and other uncles to show your filial piety."

Wang Mang, Wang Kuang pays homage again.

Then the two of them left Wang Yin's place and went to other uncle's homes.

Wang Yin looked at Wang Mang's leaving figure, and he couldn't help but show his contemplation. He stroked the beard under his chin and said softly: "It's time to think about the future of my family's successors."

Obviously, Wang Yin already had an idea in mind at this moment. Wang Mang's performance also allowed Wang Yin to see some hope for the family's future.

Therefore, he decided to give Wang Mang a boost and move his position to a higher level so that he could become the mainstay of the Wang family in the future!

It is too weak to rely solely on Chunyu Chang with a foreign surname. If another blood relative of the family can steadily advance and occupy a high position in the government and the public, perhaps the Baowang family can still prosper for thirty years in the future!

Wang Yin thought deeply. After all, he and his brothers were old, and his sister, the current empress dowager Wang Zhengjun, was not young either. They could not protect the Wang family for many years.

It’s time for the Wang family to train the next generation of successors.
