After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Xie Boyuan subconsciously looked at Xie Linghe.

Patriarch Xie raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Yuan, ancestor worship has nothing to do with women. What are you looking at your eldest sister doing?"

Hear the words.

Xie Linghe frowned slightly, but still said nothing.

For a clan, the clan leader has the greatest power. Women are naturally in a weak position, so there is no need for them to argue.

Offending Li Da Jiao and offending the clan leader are two completely different concepts...

She is not able to do that now.

Here.

Seeing that his eldest sister didn't say anything, Xie Boyuan withdrew his gaze and nodded to the clan leader: "It's up to the clan leader to make the arrangements. I will follow your instructions."

See this.

Patriarch Xie's brows relaxed and he smiled: "Okay, okay."

……

White House.

Bai Lingxing, with his unshaven beard, grabbed a servant and asked, "Is Xie Boyuan back?"

The servant nodded: "Yes, Master."

"Great!"

Bai Lingxing was ecstatic. "He's finally back! Where's Dad? Hurry up and call him over..."

Mr. Bai will be back soon.

Bai Lingxing couldn't wait any longer: "Dad, let's take Sui Chunsheng with us and confront Xie Boyuan."

Mr. Bai remained silent.

Bai Lingxing's eyes widened: "Dad, why are you silent?"

"Xie Boyuan's knowledge is about the same as mine, and he actually took the first place in the imperial examination. If I take the exam, I will definitely pass the examination. Dad, let's go find him quickly. I want to go to the county school right away. Maybe I will be the next first place..."

Mr. Bai felt a little reluctant, but he still said, "Alright, let's just pretend this never happened. From now on, just follow me and learn how to do business. Don't think about the imperial examination anymore."

Bai Ling's actions were like being struck by lightning.

“W-Why?!”

"Just because he's the top case in the county? Why? I don't accept it..."

"Correct."

Mr. Bai said in a heavy tone, "Okay, I've heard that Xie Boyuan has caught the eye of the county magistrate. We can't afford to offend him."

Bai Lingxing's eyes widened with anger.

Master Bai sighed, "Also, I heard that Master Liu intends to accept Xie Boyuan as his last disciple."

The light in Bai Lingxing's eyes went out.

Mr. Bai patted his shoulder and said, "Hey!" Then he turned and left.

Bai Lingxing slumped to the ground.

Why did I make a bet with Xie Boyuan?

If I had known this earlier, if I had known this earlier...

In this regard.

Xie Linghe and Xie Boyuan knew nothing about it, so Sui Chunsheng escaped the disaster.

……

The Xie family is a big family. According to the records in the family tree, there was once an ancestor who passed the imperial examination and was a third-rank official when he retired.

But this is old news.

That ancestor lived two hundred years ago, and apart from the family tree, he did not leave behind any keepsakes.

Time flows.

The Xie clan is just an insignificant grain of rice.

The last time the Xie clan produced a scholar was fifty years ago, and that member of the clan had been dead for many years.

now.

Finally, Xie Boyuan appeared. No wonder they were excited.

Scholars have become a privileged class.

Xie Boyuan didn't have to do anything. As long as he was a member of the Xie clan, he could provide shelter to the Xie clan members.

For example, if a member of the Xie clan was bullied while doing hard labor at the dock, and he started making a scene and said that he was a member of the Xie family, the foreman would most likely stand on his side.

……

early morning.

The Xie clan ancestral hall was grandly opened.

Patriarch Xie and Xie Boyuan walked side by side, holding incense in their hands, and entered the ancestral hall respectfully.

The people behind him followed solemnly.

Xie Zhongji, Xie Shuze and Xie Jijun were young and of lower generation, so they stood at the back.

There were people standing around.

People from other families looked at this scene with envy and talked about it in low voices.

"Why isn't Brother Yuan from my Li family?"

"Yeah~"

"The Xie family is so lucky! Brother Yuan is only seventeen years old and has a bright future."

"..."

Xie Linghe and his two younger sisters stood quietly by.

Xie Lingai pulled her little finger.

Xie Linghe was puzzled: "Huh?"

Xie Lingai waved to her, and Xie Linghe squatted down, then heard her say, "Sister, why can't we worship our ancestors?"

why?

bad habits.

The oppression of women.

However, of course she couldn't say that to Xiao Ai, but she didn't intend to be perfunctory either. She thought for a moment and looked at her word by word: "Because we are not strong enough."

Xie Lingai murmured unconsciously: "Powerful?!" with confusion in her eyes.

Xie Linghe touched her head and didn't intend to say anything else.

yes~

Not strong enough.

She's not strong enough either.

What a bullshit rule! One day, I want you, the Xie clan, to write my name in the family tree.

……

After the ancestor worship, life returned to normal.

Xie Linghe also officially started the class.

Teach for one hour every day in the afternoon, with ten minutes of class and one hour of rest.

This day.

Early in the morning.

She went to Changhai Town and went straight to a clothing store.

When she came out, she had changed into a silk dress, and then she went to the carriage shop to rent a carriage.

A total of eight taels of silver were spent.

Xie Linghe got on the carriage and said to the temporary driver, "Let's go to the wild orange grove."

"Yes."

The carriage moved slowly forward.

inside the car.

Xie Linghe's face was full of pain: It's so expensive. Buying clothes and renting a carriage made her already poor situation even worse.

but.

no way.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. This was her first time inspecting the farm, so she had to look her best.

I don’t know how long it took.

The carriage stopped.

"Girl, here we are."

Xie Linghe opened the curtain and came out: "Thank you very much."

He handed him two more coins and said, "Please wait for me here for a moment. I'll be back soon."

The driver took the money and agreed with a smile: "No problem."

Xie Linghe turned around, took a deep breath, and looked at the farm in front of him.

The broker didn't lie to her.

The farm was indeed very grand, and the gate was closed.

She went up and knocked on the door.

soon.

A middle-aged man opened the door and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Xie Linghe directly showed him the house and land deeds: "I am your new boss."

Hear the words.

The man's face changed drastically, and he immediately opened the door, bowing in fear and trepidation: "I didn't know you were coming, Master. Please forgive me."

Xie Linghe waved his hand and said calmly, "Call everyone in the village over here. I have something to say."

The man nodded immediately.

Turning around, he looked worried: I don’t know what this boss’s character is like, I hope he is someone who is easy to get along with.

In this regard.

Xie Linghe knew nothing.

She was standing with her hands behind her back, observing the interior of the village calmly.

This is her first property, so naturally she has to look at it carefully.

soon.

The man came back.

Five people in total.

Besides him, there was a middle-aged woman, two young men and a little girl who was not even as tall as her knees.

The man forced a smile and said humbly, "Boss, I'm Li Ergou, and this is my wife Yunniang. This is my eldest son Li Changsheng, my second son Li Changping, and my youngest daughter Li Huahua."

Xie Linghe nodded.

She had already learned from the broker that they were a family of five and were honest and well-behaved.

"My last name is Xie. From now on, you can call me Mr. Xie or Miss Xie."
