Xie Xian is still in the process of screening talents, and the training of talents is limited to the second branch of the Xie family. Other management positions that can be obtained by those who pass the exams are also some middle and lower-level positions. The real confidants have yet to be trained.

She did not open up the middle and small classes because, nowadays, any scholar with some ability wanted to learn literary and martial arts and serve the emperor.

Looking at those who passed the exam and got the top grade in the big class, many of them were poached by other clans in Que County with various favorable conditions. Xie Xian did not think that she was invincible in charm, nor did she think that these people would sell themselves to the Xie family after learning skills from her.

But instead of making such selfless contributions to cultivating talents for others, Xie Xian, a lazy person, would rather send them to death first.

In the final analysis, it is because everyone's spiritual pursuits are inconsistent. It is impossible for her to popularize the core values ​​of communism here and require everyone to do things for me and I for everyone.

Therefore, she could only slowly change everyone's minds on minor details, but the children of the Xie family could be used after being trained. This natural blood cohesion had been passed down for thousands of years and had its own advantages.

Therefore, she still needs to think carefully about what Qingdai said about expanding private schools for preschool children.

The next day, Xie Xian went to the main room to find Xie Yao. When they first met, in Xie Xian's impression, Xie Yao was just a good girl who loved reading, and Xie Huanlang was always by her side.

But the Xie Yao that Xie Xian met this time had grown a lot, and her eyes were not as innocent as when they first met. Xie Xian had a new understanding of the upbringing of noble ladies from aristocratic families. It seemed that Mrs. Lu still had high expectations for Xie Yao.

At this time, Xie Yao was only accompanied by her maid Ji Xiang and Aunt Yin.

Seeing Xie Xian coming, Xie Yao felt like she had seen a life-saving straw, "Sister Xian!" The girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, had a pale face and dark circles under her eyes. At this moment, she looked at Xie Xian with a look of guilt.

Seeing that she was badly tortured by family affairs, the girl said, "Mother is wrong in this matter. This is originally the business of the eldest wife, but Sister Xian has to worry about it!" She was proud and arrogant by nature, and she was at a loss as to what to do to apologize for her mother.

Xie Xian helped her up, "Madam, you have your own way of doing things. When you encounter difficulties, you should ask your clan members to support you. It is also right to help each other."

"Sister Yao, you were the first to take the lead when the girls' school was established. Xian will always remember this kindness!" She, as a younger sister, was protected too well. Perhaps Lu noticed the changes in the first wife's house, so she was trying to force the issue?

Xie Xian couldn't guess that the first wife was openly not on the same page with the second wife, so she didn't expect that Lu would ask her for help.

"The eldest lady said that this time she went out only for Madam Xian's sake," Aunt Yin lowered her head and sighed. These days, Mrs. Lu has been feeling depressed because of the discord between the father and son in the first house. Moreover, the relationship between the young master and Madam Yao is not strong, and the master is obsessed with the power of the clan and has no scruples towards Madam Yao. Alas!

She looked up at Xie Xian's tall back, her eyes filled with expectation, hoping that the lady could teach Madam Yao a thing or two.

Xie Yao and Ji Xiang got on Xie Xian's carriage, followed by four burly maids. These were arranged by Mrs. Lu, and they all obeyed Xie Xian's orders.

Xie Yao opened the first booklet and said, "Su Qingqing is a married woman from the third branch of the family. However, her husband passed away a few days ago. Now her mother-in-law came to ask for the family property. Su Qingqing is weak in character, so she reported it to the clan and begged them to handle it."

The girl looked at Xie Xian with clear eyes, as if she had finally found her backbone.

Xie Xian felt a little amused, "How do you usually handle this kind of thing?"

"On ordinary days, if a married woman dies, she can go home and remarry, or if she has children, she can stay and raise the children if her husband's family agrees to support them."

These past few days, she had just taken over these matters and was overwhelmed. She could only look up the previous notes and read from the script.

But nothing in the world is exactly the same, and it is not realistic to apply the same method. Xie Yao is too inexperienced in the ways of the world, and it is not easy for her to refrain from making conclusions easily.

Ji Xiang placed cakes on the table for the two girls and continued, "Although Su Qingqing has a child, her mother-in-law is partial to her. She wanted to go home and remarry, but she was worried about her child, so she was caught and couldn't get away."

Xie Xian nodded, obviously her husband's family was greedy. And Su Qingqing was also in Xiaoquan Village, which gave Xie Xian a bad feeling. Sure enough, before the carriage entered the village, she saw the unusual side of Xiaoquan Village.

"You're just a money-loser. What qualifications do you have to eat this?" A little boy threw mud at the girl opposite him, snatched the pheasant eggs from her hand, threw them on the ground twice, stomped on them a few times, and still not satisfied, so he grabbed the broken mud and egg mixture and smeared it on the girl.

The girl just lowered her head and didn't dare to hide. Even though she was several heads taller than the boy, she didn't dare to fight back.

"Oh oh! Hu Zi is bullying his cousin again. Oh oh, shame on you. Hu Zi, your grandma said she wants to use your sister to buy you a child bride."

"This money-losing item can only be exchanged after its mother dies. It's unlucky. We have to keep it for a few more days." The little boy named Hu Zi blew his nose and stuck it on himself as if he knew how to do it. He pouted and turned away.

Under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village, a group of little boys made a few noises and ran away. Only the girl walked towards the path with lifeless eyes.

Xie Xian and the others looked at each other without saying anything. Xie Yao covered her nose with a handkerchief. She really didn't like the smell here.

When she arrived at Su Qingqing's house, Xie Xian saw the girl who had been bullied just now, Wang Liuzhi. The Wang family used to be a teacher in the village. They could make a living by collecting tuition fees. And Wang Liuzhi was the only daughter in the family, so even though her husband's family was dissatisfied, they didn't say anything.

The courtyard was very clean. When Su Qingqing saw the Xie family's carriage, she immediately knew that someone from the Xie family had come. She was surprised and happy, and after she bowed and saluted, two lines of tears flowed down her face.

She had endured for so many days and thought that all was hopeless, but she didn't expect that the clan would actually send someone to support her.

"Su Qingqing, you are the daughter of Su Heng, a branch of the Xie family. Since your parents are not around, the clan will speak for you." Ji Xiang held the certificate in his hand, acting like a strong servant of a wealthy family.

But Su Qingqing didn't mind at all. Both her parents had passed away, and she was already very grateful that someone from the married-in family came to support him, and she didn't dare to ask for more.

Xie Yao helped her up and explained her purpose, "Where is Mr. She, the village head?" As the head of the Xie family's eldest branch, she naturally maintained a proper attitude.

"I have an uncle who is a police officer in Pingcheng. He is not convinced by what the village elders say. He always mentions my uncle, so the villagers dare not offend him."

Well, I didn't expect they were related.

Ji Xiang sneered: "A mere policeman wants to cause trouble? Is it possible that someone in his family works in the government office, so the laws of Daxia cannot apply to his family?"
