Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

In Baoshu Hall, Xie An held two chess pieces in his hands, staring at the swaying bamboo shadows outside the window in silence.

Zhi Mo stood in front of the hall and whispered, "It is a foregone conclusion that Madam Xian will take over the Black Stone Guard."

He carefully glanced at his husband's expressionless face and spoke with difficulty: "Old Master Suo asked me to tell you that Miss Xing of the Xie family will never marry outside the family." This was to make her husband give up.

He was unhappy in his heart: "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have helped them. Now I'm giving up the child and still can't catch the wolf."

Xie An chuckled and said, "Don't complain. We are from the same family, how can I not help?" He threw the two pieces in his hand into the chess basket, "I already knew she would do this."

So what was he still hoping for? He thought about it and maybe he would meet the master of the same house again.

He took the booklet in his hand and said leisurely, "It's not easy to be the master of a house."

"How long will it take for the Black Stone Guards to come back from Guanzhong this time?" Xie An asked.

"It will probably arrive in seven or eight days. They suffered heavy casualties this time, and it has been raining for the past few days, so we don't know how many people will be able to come back!" Zhi Mo replied in a low voice. This time the Black Stone Guards are short of food and money, and in winter, the Wen family is still short of firewood and charcoal. It is really difficult and no one knows how Madam Xian will deal with it.

All of them, the Xuanyi, have learned skills in the Black Stone Guard since childhood. The eldest wife trained in literature, while the second wife trained in martial arts. After they grow up and go through layers of screening, they can be with their husband.

Therefore, they still have some face for the Black Rock Guards. Even if the Black Rock Guards are in a miserable state, the tribesmen will still help them.

Xie Ziqi and Xie Xiuyuan sat in the side room of Baoshu Hall, feeling a little regretful.

"You said Shaojun was really rejected?" Xie Xiuyuan looked incredulous.

Seeing Xie Ziqi nod, he continued, "How can such a rude girl like Madam Xian be worthy of the young master! If I were a girl, I would be willing to be his concubine, not to mention his wife!"

Xie Ziqi looked down on him: “Then you go!”

"Me! But I'm not a girl."

"Have you ever seen a girl who can make a street market flourish in half a month? Have you ever seen a girl who can write a "Plan for Relieving Famine and Keeping the People Calm"? There are so many girls in the tribe, which one can be so broad-minded as to write the arithmetic scripture that we all want to learn?"

"If you have these at home, would you be willing to share them with others?" Xie Ziqi looked at Xie Xiuyuan and asked three questions in a row.

"Madam Xian is not beautiful, nor is she gentle and virtuous, but she has a broad mind and bearing, which young man can compare with her. Now she has taken on the responsibility of punishing the king of the second house. We have gained benefits but are here to make excuses. This is against the gentleman's way." After he finished speaking, he sat on the couch and closed his eyes to rest, as if he was very angry.

"Then...I said the wrong thing." Xie Xiuyuan lowered his head and his face flushed. All he could think about was the day Xie Xian scolded him, which made him lose face.

But he forgot that the clan's land is getting better and better. This was all caused by the return of the second wife. Thinking of this, he felt extremely guilty and dared not speak out.

Xie Ziqi closed the folding fan in his hand and sighed in his heart. He felt a little regretful, for the sake of the first wife and Xie An.

Xie Xian taught them how to rewrite the official document that day. He went back and pondered for a while and found that there were many benefits. It not only saved the time of the superiors, but also saved the writing of the subordinates.

Since then, he has started to pay attention to Xie Xian and noticed the changes in the second house. He is glad that Xie Xian is engaged to Shao Jun, and such a beautiful and talented woman will definitely be a good wife for Xie An.

But now it seems that Xie Xian is too good. Her family background, maternal clan and Black Stone Guards, if not for the absence of her parents, the Black Stone Guards would also be suppressed. If this configuration was in the previous dynasty, it would be seen by all the princes.

But Xie Xian was so thoughtful that she actually left Shao Jun behind. Alas! There will come a day when the appearance of my Shao Jun will no longer be of any use.

No matter how regretful Xie Ziqi felt, Xie Xian finally stepped into the meeting hall.

She wore a high ponytail with a red and black necklace hidden inside, a red yak coat, a black waist belt, arm armor on her half-sleeves, and a white tiger rose on her shoulder. She was dressed like a true warrior and looked extraordinary and heroic.

A touch of bright color appeared among the dark crane robes of the crowd. Although she hated meetings, it was her necessary duty and power as the Xie family's Princess Xing.

Xie Zhongfang, who was sitting at the head of the group, had a solemn expression on his face. He glanced at Xie Xian slightly and paused at the black stone ring on her hand, as if he didn't see it. He didn't introduce her or pay any attention to her, and continued the clan meeting as usual.

Xie Feng, who was sitting opposite Xie Xian, nodded with a smile, and then continued to eat the cakes on the table, as if he never had enough.

Below them are the masters and stewards of each branch family, and after that, the managers of each file. They only gather together on the first day of every month to report on clan affairs.

Xie Xian sighed. She didn’t want to get up so early either. Why did they have to hold a regular meeting even after traveling through time? What kind of slavish attitude was this?

She listened for a while, which was about the income of various farms, the autumn harvest, the changes in the relationship between the clan and each family, as well as the court's decrees, arrangements for the family, etc. She felt drowsy after listening to it.

It was not until the end that Xie Zhong slowly spoke.

"The candidate for the second wife's Xing Jun has been confirmed to be Madam Xian. Do you have any objections?" Xie Zhong glanced at Xie Xian with a gloomy look and said reluctantly.

He would subconsciously feel uncomfortable with anything that was out of his control. Before he could finish his words, someone jumped out impatiently.

"What? It's the girl from the second room, and I don't agree?" The speaker was a young man with dark circles under his eyes. As soon as he opened his mouth, a faint smell of alcohol wafted out.

Several family heads around frowned and silently stepped back two steps, curling their lips. His father had just been sent to be raised a few days ago, and this guy couldn't wait to jump out.

Xie Xian narrowed her eyes and looked over. If she remembered correctly, wasn't that the position of the clan elder who was still strong and vigorous at old age?

Oh! This heir has perfectly inherited his father's stupidity. Xie Xian's eyes circled around Xie Zhong and the young man, thinking.

She sneered! She turned to look at Xie Zhong and said, "Clan leader, do I need the clan to choose the position of the second branch's ruler?" She looked confused, as if she didn't know much about the clan's rules.

Xie Zhong didn't look at him: "That's not the case!"

"Well, it seems that this young master is dissatisfied with Xian." She looked sad and seemed a little at a loss.

Everyone perked up and focused their attention. The young man trembled for a moment, but when he saw Xie Zhong at the top, he seemed to regain his confidence: "It's not like my Xie family has no one, so how can we let a woman take over the position of Lord Xing."

"Oh? So you mean you can come and try?" Xie Xian said casually.

For some reason, perhaps because she got up too early today, she felt a little irritable.
