Not only were the Wei clan members shocked, but the people outside who heard the news also felt incredible.
There were not only members of the Wei clan living in the fortress, but also many people who had not been allocated houses and were living in the servants' alley.
Suddenly everyone started talking about it.
"Is the girl really going to become the clan leader and officially take over the family?"
"It always feels like a dream that a noble family like the Wei family would actually choose a woman to succeed the throne."
"Yes, although it has always been the girl who is in charge of the affairs outside, I thought she was helping her grandfather to manage the family."
"How could it be false! I heard that it was Duke Wei who announced it on the spot. I just don't know what those members of the Wei clan think..."
What can the Wei family think?
Most people accepted it, but a small number of people opposed it.
This small group of people were all members of the tribe who returned to the fort later.
Wei Yilian stood among the clan members, looking a little dazed. She murmured in a low voice, "Why? Wu Niang will get married sooner or later. If she becomes the clan leader and marries someone else in the future, won't our entire Wei family become her dowry?"
"Yes! I won't accept handing the family over to the hands of a young generation like this!"
"If the entire eldest branch of the family were still alive, not to mention Wu Niang, even if the clan leader and Ming Lun were still alive, even Wei Jie wouldn't get a chance, so how could it be her turn?"
They said they were dissatisfied, but they did not dare to express their opinions in public.
I only dared to talk quietly below.
The clan leader and three elders came forward, and the people in Mingjingtang unanimously agreed. They doubted whether Mingyuan knew about it, and why the clan leader announced it when Mingyuan was leading the troops outside.
Are they afraid that Wei Mingyuan, who holds military power, will jump out and oppose...
Wei Ji glanced at the angry clansmen below and said in a deep voice, "A disaster struck suddenly. My Wei clan was suddenly hit by a great disaster. Countless people were killed and injured, and we were almost wiped out."
"It was Wu Niang who came all the way back to stabilize the fort. Over the past year, she has braved danger to find food for the tribe, made decisive decisions, and cleared Ling County. Wu Niang's abilities are obvious to all in the tribe..."
Wei Ji's dark eyes glared, his gaze becoming fierce. "Just because she's a woman, you're not convinced?!"
There was a sudden silence from the audience.
Wei Zhongxun, known for his short temper, couldn't help but point his finger at the younger generation and curse, "Which of your current food, clothing, shelter, and transportation didn't you directly or indirectly rely on Wu Niang for? You pick up your bowl to eat, then put it down and curse Wu Niang. We, the Wei family, don't have such two-faced people!"
Those tribesmen who came back later were scolded so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads.
"Those who disagree, please stand up! Let me see which family you are from?!"
"Wu Niang can't do it? Then who do you think can do it?!!"
Wei Zhongxun glared at his tribesmen and said, "If you have the guts, don't eat the food Wu Niang brought back. Go out and find a solution on your own. Stand up straight first before you have the right to object!"
Now no one spoke anymore.
The public kitchen was silent and the tribesmen all stood upright with their heads down to receive the scolding.
Wei Ji glanced at everyone and softened his tone, "In the face of disaster, our Wei family must unite and work together to make our lives better and better."
"The clan has already passed a resolution on this matter, so there is no need to discuss it further."
Every person has a different face.
Thousands of tribesmen are extremely difficult to manage, and most of them are obedient.
The Wei family has always been united, and those who are confused have been scolded by their close relatives.
What about women?
It is truly remarkable that Wu Niang can lead the family to prosperity as a woman. In the future history, the legendary patriarch of the Qinghe Wei family will surely have a significant place.
After the tribesmen dispersed.
The news spread like wildfire throughout Ling County in less than a moment.
Mingjingtang began to prepare.
Time is very tight.
The current patriarch of the Wei clan is not only in charge of clan affairs, but also of the entire Ling County. She is also the first female patriarch of the family, and all the necessary rules must be followed.
Wei Ji sent Wu Bo to deliver an invitation, inviting His Majesty Sun Yat-sen, Gong Liulang, Dong Zhiyao and others to attend the ceremony.
Those who received the invitation naturally accepted it.
Yuan Yuwan and Gong Chun were fine, as they had anticipated this.
Duke Wei turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, leaving everything to his granddaughter and not caring about anything. Wasn't it just to subtly influence the clan members and quietly improve his granddaughter's status and prestige in the clan?
The older you get, the wiser it is. Duke Wei had already paved the way for the girl.
Clearly, the time has come.
However, Dong Zhiyao was shocked when he received the invitation.
He had only been in the fort for one day and had no idea of the situation in Ling County. He had no idea of the little girl's current status in the clan.
I was naturally shocked to receive such news suddenly.
Dong Zhiyao stared at the invitation with a complicated expression, checking it over and over again, and nodded silently in response.
………
When Wei Xiyin came out of the research institute, she felt that the atmosphere in the dock was a little strange.
A strong wind swept through.
But both the tribesmen and the common people were extremely enthusiastic when they saw her.
Chang Ying came over and was unable to speak outside. Only after he entered the camp did he report what had happened in a low voice.
His face was livid and he was extremely angry.
Most of the tribesmen who came later were rescued by their own girls, so how could they have the nerve to object?
"These are all minor matters. A little discordant voice is normal and won't have any impact."
Wei Xiyin, however, remained calm and composed. "You have to understand that not everyone is smart, and not everyone has a long-term vision and can consider the overall situation."
She also comforted Chang Ying and said, "Don't get angry over these little things."
"I, your daughter, am a man of great ambition. A family feud is no match for me. I don't even need to intervene. Not to mention my grandfather and my third uncle, even the uncles in Mingjing Hall can handle it."
Chang Ying: “…” That’s true, but when the girl said it herself, it felt like something was wrong.
The temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days, and a gust of evil wind has blown, so the children's martial arts classes have been cancelled.
The camp was very quiet.
Chang Ying has handed over a series of matters related to the two military camps, including the military camp in the county town, to Qin Shan.
Because the girl's succession ceremony is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
The tribesmen have received a notice from Mingjingtang and started cleaning, not only the hygiene of the two tribe camps, but also their personal hygiene, in an effort to welcome the new patriarch with a new look on that day.
The summer is dry and water-scarce, and everyone is used to being sloppy. Some are taking a shower, some are washing clothes, and some are shaving...
"I'm afraid the clothes won't dry." Wei Xiyin was speechless after seeing this.
Chang Ying was silent for a moment before he said, "You can take it to the blacksmith's furnace to dry it."
How popular is the spot next to the furnace?
Everyone was so on high alert that she felt embarrassed to walk around outside.
After another round, he inquired in detail about the camp situation and the subsequent preparations.
The guard outside came to deliver a message.
"Girl, the clan leader asked you to go back, saying that the person who takes the measurements for the clothes has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiyin had no choice but to give Chang Ying a few more instructions before returning home.
Everyone outside was busy, so she didn't plan to go out and stayed at home to accompany her grandfather.
