Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Jia Mu's words put the Ningguo Mansion on the wrong side. Therefore, the Rongguo Mansion could advance, attack, retreat, or defend, but the Ningguo Mansion's position was relatively embarrassing.

In today's Ningguo Mansion, the head of the family, Jia Rong, cannot yet stand up. Although the women's army is powerful, they are not the ones who can make decisions for a while, so they are leaderless.

As a young and well-established Youshi, he quickly gained the support of some people and started running immediately.

After she got the news about Rongguo Mansion, she immediately felt uneasy. The first thing I wanted to do was to admit my mistake to Jia Mu, and then she brought Ning Guofu over. The two families still supported each other and cooperated closely.

After all, a single tree cannot make a forest. The original head of the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen, has passed away, and the elder Jia Zhu is in poor health, so it is difficult for the family to rely on them.

If she was asked to make the decision in everything in the future, she would not dare.

Although Rong Guofu was separated from them by a layer of intimacy, the two families were once one family, and relatively speaking, they were more reliable than others. Moreover, the head of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu, is not an old lady who is ignorant and unable to reason. If the misunderstanding is cleared up, the relationship will be better.

But Qin Keqing disagreed with this matter.

She didn't spend long time with Xichun, but she learned to be independent. She very much recognized Xixi Chun's words about her fate being in her own hands, so seeing the current development, she wanted to be the master of her own affairs.

If according to what mother-in-law Youshi said, they all turned to Rongguo Mansion, it would be equivalent to giving up Xichun and giving up Ningguo Mansion's own right to speak.

Although the two families were once one family, they were, after all, separate royal palaces. A government must have the confidence of a government. Now that they are close to each other, their family is young. If they are not careful, they will only be at the mercy of others in the future.

But Qin Keqing's current status is really embarrassing. Although her husband is the head of Ningguo Mansion, he has no opinions of his own. In the past, if Jia Zhen was there, he would listen to Jia Zhen, but if there was no Jia Zhen, he would listen to the Detachment of Women.

As for the former Women's Army, most of them were made by Xichun, so the Qin family and the You family had no chance to grow up quickly.

But Qin Keqing is ambitious and capable. She thought she could do what Xichun could do. Therefore, he does not plan to defect to Rongguo Mansion.

But she couldn't tell the truth since she was the youngest.

The servants who used to follow Jia Zhen's mischief and were suppressed by Xichun are now making trouble again. They couldn't control Jia Zhen directly, so they instigated her in a roundabout way from Youshi.

Just like the master is weak and the minister is strong, they naturally like masters who have no independent opinions.

The reason why Youshi came up with the idea of ​​seeking refuge in Rongguo Mansion was because they were making suggestions.

Therefore, everyone seems to be watching how You chooses.

On the other side, Xichun, under the leadership of the maid officer, was isolated in a small courtyard deep in the palace and learned the rules from a group of little girls.

Xichun tested several people, most of whom were daughters of minor officials. Because they met the conditions for minor selection, they were brought to the palace.

And most of them are eight to ten years old, specially selected to train princess attendants.

"I have a cousin whose family conditions are better than mine. She is a few years older, so she was assigned to another group. I heard that their group is to select concubines for His Majesty, so they are not trained in the same place as us."

After learning that Xichun was the daughter of the Duke's mansion, someone quickly came over to fawn over her, and they formed a small group and began to hug each other for warmth.

These little girls from official families know better what the powerful class is. They are not just people with a superficial appearance. Even if they have a tacit understanding of their temperament, they will not play together.

Xichun followed the training camp for a few days, always acting well and trying not to attract the attention of others.

After she left Ningguo Mansion, she had no time to care about the situation in the manor.

Originally, for her, even if there were no apparent helpers, her large group of ghost friends could help her find out the secrets. Moreover, she also thought at that time that there were many people who died in the palace, and in the future her ability would only be... bigger.

But she didn't expect that although the ghosts in the palace were indeed paying close attention to her, they were not as friendly to her as she thought.

Not to mention the dragon aura suppressing the palace, even the remaining ghosts in the palace are stronger than the auras elsewhere.

The ghosts Xichun brought were not enough for them to watch, and the ghosts here were even more violent. If they were not careful, they would devour the ghosts around Xichun.

So she once thought of relying on these ghosts to continue to monitor the outside world, but it came to nothing. Moreover, she had to take great pains to protect her little ghosts from being murdered by the ghosts in the palace.

Only then did Xichun realize that the reason why the ghosts she had encountered before were so obedient was because the female nun ghosts could suppress them. And now, the female nun ghost has also been suppressed.

So Xichun here can only rely on himself.

Xichun knew that there were many smart people in the palace, and they were all good at calculating. She would be isolated in the deep palace, which must be the result of someone else's calculation.

Now if you want to break the situation, you have to see what the people behind it are planning.

Xichun plucked her things, and the only thing that people cared about was her ability to make money.

The country is short of money.

Because the government was short of money, Lin Ruhai had to be sent to Jiangnan to supervise the salt administration. But just like when Li Wan set up a poetry club and asked Sister Feng to be the supervisor, it was just to get money and status from the supervisor.

Lin Ruhai, as a noble descendant of the noble lords, was a single person, so he was sent by the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River to serve as the salt patrol censor.

Xichun never suspected Lin Ruhai of corruption because after she became the master of Xuanzhen Temple, she really saw what it means to make money.

As a big landowner and big capitalist, even if she doesn't deliberately exploit others, her money will always make money.

This is also the difference between ministers and emperors.

The emperor was also the largest capitalist and big landowner in the feudal dynasty, but his money was constantly being consumed.

The reason is that when his ministers help him manage the world, they can't help but absorb his property to supplement their own families.

Moreover, when there were natural or man-made disasters, the emperor took greater risks than they did, so he would harvest a few ministers to extend his life.

The emperor of this dynasty is trying to save himself by cutting off the Lin family.

But Lin Ruhai, who was loyal to the emperor, did not give away all his family property, but left it to the Jia family.

The Jia family happens to be on the emperor's harvest list, so they will be completely defeated in the apocalypse.

According to the original calculation, the emperor's family couldn't survive anymore, so they started harvesting, and designed a trap to separate the family through marriage promotion.

And small families like the Qin family, which is related to Ningguo Mansion, are nothing more than cannon fodder.

So there is a question here. The Jia family already has Yuanchun, so why add another Xichun to her?

Thinking that it was Jia Zhen who approached Dai Quan to plot to seize her small caravan, her talent in business was revealed. The emperor's family was used to seeing smart and precocious people, so they gave Xichun a chance. If she behaves properly, someone will reuse her.

Thinking of this, Xichun changed her past obscurity and began to form cliques in the escort team based on her status. As expected, people came to visit her.

And the first person to visit her was Yuanchun, who had been in the palace for many years.
