Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

System Changsheng saw that Jiang Xinxin almost broke the seal and recovered her memory several times in the previous world, so he didn't dare to let her enter the small world halfway again. He simply chose another world for her to reincarnate. As for whether Shi Ying could keep up and how to keep up, that was not his concern.

Shengguo, the capital, the general’s mansion.

Jiang Xinxin is now nine years old, and it has just been a hundred days since her parents passed away. Her grandparents and her uncle's family hurriedly sent her to the General's Mansion.

She did not come alone. Her eldest brother had borrowed an ox cart from the neighbor and brought her cousin Jiang Xianxian, who was the same age as her, here.

Jiang Xinxin lowered her head and didn't look at how her uncle fawned over a gatekeeper in the general's mansion. She just waited quietly for Mama Chen, who, according to her mother, was now the head nanny of the general's mansion's deceased lady, to come.

This Madam Chen is the confidant of the general's wife who came with her dowry. She married at an early age and never got married. She is loyal to the general's wife. Therefore, even though she is now mostly outside in charge of the general's wife's dowry, she always comes back to the mansion to take care of the son and daughter left behind by the general's wife.

Mother Chen came to the corner gate and looked at the two very different girls in front of her. She asked directly, "Who is Mei Niang's daughter Jiang Xinxin?"

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but look up when she heard that her mother had a friendly face but a cold expression. She quickly lowered her head, took a step forward and knelt down to greet him. "I'm Jiang Xinxin, and my mother's maiden name does have the character mei in it."

Jiang Xianxian has been the most favored girl in the family since she was a child. Now she sees this skinny, small, and pale cousin taking the top spot. At least she knows that this is in front of the general's mansion, so she doesn't dare to make a scene like she would at home. She also steps forward and squats down to salute like Jiang Xinxin did. "I'm her cousin, Jiang Xianxian. The elders in the family are worried that she won't be safe when she goes out alone, so they asked me to come along so that they can discipline her."

Mother Chen could only sigh in her heart. She finally understood why Mei Niang, who had been determined to leave the house all that time, would suddenly change her mind and sell her daughter to the general's mansion.

In Mother Chen's eyes, Jiang Xinxin was only slightly taller than Jiang Xianxian's shoulders, and her body was much smaller than Jiang Xianxian's. Not to mention the contrast between Jiang Xianxian, who was fair and tender with a proud face, and Jiang Xinxin, who was dark and thin and had a somewhat dull look.

Mother Chen asked again: "Mrs. Mei once said that you knew a few words, is that right?"

Jiang Xinxin nodded. She didn't dare to move until Mother Chen called out to her.

Jiang Xianxian was too impatient. She looked up and looked straight at Mother Chen. "Hello, Mom. I know that Auntie wrote to you to ask you to take care of my sister, but my family is really worried. Besides, she is my uncle's only child. Although Grandpa and Grandma don't like that Auntie can't continue the bloodline for Second Uncle, they still care about my sister."

These words really didn't seem like something a country girl of her age would say. Even the daughters of many minor officials in the capital city weren't of this standard. Mother Chen thought about it and agreed to let Jiang Xianxian enter the house.

But some things must be made clear: "Originally, there was no shortage of manpower in the mansion. After all, Mei Niang was a daughter of the Madam in the past, so her daughter always has some face. But for these extra people, although I can decide to keep them today, I have to sign a death contract first."

Uncle Jiang was overjoyed. He saw that the mother seemed to be dissatisfied with his daughter, but he didn't expect that she would really keep him for the sake of that dead girl. "Yes," he agreed hurriedly, and even had time to mention the money for selling her body.

Mother Chen looked down upon people like Jiang Da, and she also disliked Jiang Da as her daughter. She had no good intentions in letting her enter the mansion, but she was willing to pay a few more taels of silver for selling her body.

"The General's Mansion has always had its own rules for admitting people. Now is not the time to admit people. You are allowed to come in because of Mei Niang's face. Naturally, the silver is the same as for others."

Jiang Da was not quite satisfied. He thought that with the face of his sister-in-law and the general's family property, he could get a few more taels of silver by selling his body. But when Mother Chen winked, the servants guarding the door on both sides glared at him unfriendly. He shrank back and had to pick up the small purse thrown by Mother Chen. He weighed it and found that there was about twenty taels of weight in it. He quickly put the small purse against his chest and tightened it. He hurriedly told the two children to be obedient and drove the ox cart away quickly.

Mother Chen was not surprised. She leaned over to help Jiang Xinxin up and couldn't help but sigh softly in her ear: "You are just like your mother, an honest child."

As for Jiang Xianxian, she had already stood up on her own when Jiang Da gave her those two instructions. It was just that Jiang Xinxin was too honest, so she really didn't stand up until Mother Chen called her.

The general's mansion covers a large area. Even though Jiang Xinxin, a little kid, has learned a lot since childhood, she can only see the wealth and grandeur of the carved beams and painted buildings, but knows nothing else.

Jiang Xianxian also felt that the dazzling wealth and luxury were worthy of the general's mansion, and she became more and more proud that she could persuade the elders to let her adopted sister Jiang Xinxin move into the mansion with her.

Jiang Xianxian prided herself on being smart, and even though she was stunned by the aura of wealth and status, she only became more determined to stay. She even looked at Mother Chen in front of her, who was greeted and greeted by people from afar, and she couldn't help but imagine how glorious she would be if she became the master of this mansion.

Mother Chen was distracted by socializing along the way and secretly observed the two girls. As expected, Jiang Xinxin was only amazed when she saw the wealth and luxury, while Jiang Xianxian seemed to have never thought of concealing her ambition and greed.

Mother Chen shook her head at Jiang Xianxian in her heart. This kind of girl is not a bad person, she is just out of place at the right time.

Mother Chen was thinking quickly in her mind. She had already decided to take Jiang Xinxin with her to teach her, and in accordance with Mei Niang's last wish, if Jiang Xinxin was willing to leave the house and get married, she would let her get married. If she didn't want to get married, she could take over her affairs and be a small housekeeper for the second lady Ye Xiwu.

As for Jiang Xianxian, she is shrewd and too ambitious. If she can be taught to restrain herself a little, it would be good. If not, then we can only give up.

She didn't know how long she had been walking. Jiang Xinxin only remembered the courtyard where the old lady of the general's mansion, which Mother Chen had specifically pointed out, also lived. It was also the courtyard where the current Grand Princess lived. There was also the courtyard of the most favored second daughter Ye Xiwu, the main courtyard, and the courtyard of the eldest daughter Ye Bingshang, who was born out of wedlock. In addition, there were many small gardens and ponds for the female family members to play.

As for Jiang Xianxian, she couldn't even remember the way. She only saw the luxury everywhere and wanted to own everything she saw.

Mother Chen lived in a small courtyard behind the old lady's yard. This was already an exceptional treatment, after all, she was in charge of Ye Xiwu's property.

As soon as Mother Chen entered the room, two girls in pink came forward to greet her. "Hello, Mother. The room you requested has been tidied."

Mother Chen just nodded, without even a smile on her face, but the two young ladies who came forward to greet her were still smiling happily. When they saw Mother Chen bringing back two children, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, one black and one white, they made many guesses after just two sentences.

As soon as Mother Chen sat down, someone brought tea and snacks to serve her attentively, which made Jiang Xianxian very jealous. It was a pity that her outstanding appearance and her undisguised, or poorly concealed, ambition directly offended several girls who came out before and after her without her knowing it.

Mother Chen pretended not to notice the quarrel between the girls in the room, and instead deliberately introduced them, "The skinny little one is Yumei's child, Jiang Xinxin. Before she died, Yumei begged me to bring this child into the house and give her a meal."

"The other one is the girl from Yumei's husband's uncle's family. Her name is Jiang Xianxian. As you can see, she has good talent and may have a bright future."
