Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Because it was not a customary admission, Mother Chen went to report to the Grand Princess. However, the Grand Princess had no time to see two children, even though the biological mother of one of the children was a maid who came with the marriage as a dowry with the daughter-in-law, whom she felt most guilty about.

The eldest princess just nodded proudly and ordered: "Since the child's mother has no request, our family does not lack a child to eat, and you are willing to take care of her, just see how she learns in the future."

"As for the other one, since you think that child is somewhat smart and can read, send her to the eldest master in the future and see what happens to her."

Although the sisters Jiang Xinxin and Jiang Xianxian stayed successfully, Mother Chen widened the gap between the two sisters from the beginning - Jiang Xinxin was to be trained to succeed her in the future, so she lived in the back house behind her yard, and it was the only room; Jiang Xianxian had already decided to go to the yard of the eldest son Ye Zeyu, and as for whether she would be a maid or a concubine, it all depended on Jiang Xianxian's own ability.

The decision of the Grand Princess Chen was not surprising. After all, there were two sons and two daughters in the family, and the eldest son and daughter were both born out of wedlock. The Grand Princess felt very guilty towards her wife who had passed away first, so she transformed all this guilt into love for her second son and daughter who were born out of wedlock.

Like the other bought maids, Jiang Xinxin and Jiang Xianxian had their heads shaved and bathed carefully at the first moment, and then their clothes, shoes and socks that they wore were burned.

Although Jiang Xinxin was not used to this, she did not say anything. After all, she had heard about the rules of the Ye family from her mother before, so she was naturally used to it.

But Jiang Xianxian was different. Although she felt inferior to all the maids she had seen because her clothes and appearance were not as good as theirs, and even the clothes and jewelry that were very rare in her eyes were still not as good as others, she was proud of her outstanding appearance and felt that she had the support of the housekeeper, Mother Chen, so she offended many people on the first day.

While waiting for their hair to grow back, the sisters Jiang Xinxin and Jiang Xianxian followed their two older sisters Huixin and Xiuxin to learn how to behave, walk, sit and lie down.

There are already many rules in this wealthy family, not to mention that the old lady in charge of the general's mansion is the eldest princess who married into the palace. Not to mention Jiang Xianxian, who is naturally lively, even the more calm Jiang Xinxin can't stand it.

When speaking, there are requirements for the tone of voice and the speed of voice. Fortunately, the sisters Jiang Xinxin and Jiang Xianxian are both articulate people. If someone who speaks unclearly were to take their place, they would probably never be able to serve the masters in their entire lives.

When walking, your steps must be slow and light. The same requirement applies when doing things. Even if you have to make a noise, it should not be louder than the noise caused by the friction of clothes.

Sitting and sleeping postures are even more particular. Huixin and Xiuxin looked at each other, then looked at Jiang Xianxian meaningfully, and then continued: "The old lady has already decided that some of you will go to serve the young masters, so of course some things must be more particular."

Jiang Xinxin thought she was too young to understand the meaning of this, but Jiang Xianxian's eyes lit up and she secretly vowed to fight for the opportunity to serve the young masters.

She worked even harder to serve Jiang Xianxian and had no time to show off in front of the other maids. However, considering her previous behavior, this behavior itself was a kind of performance. Before she knew it, her reputation had changed again and again, and many more people secretly envied her.

In comparison, although Jiang Xinxin, who always had an expressionless look on her face, was often compared with Jiang Xianxian, her transformation from a dark and thin appearance to a yellowish complexion was very safe in itself, because people with insufficiently fair skin were not qualified to serve the masters, and could not even be ordered to run errands.

Jiang Xianxian was not a fool. After calming down, she discovered that people around her were always targeting her intentionally or unintentionally. At first, she had to target them back, but when she found that the rules of doing things in the general's mansion were very different from those in the village, she was able to adjust quickly.

Mother Chen, who was watching her secretly, and Huixin and Xiuxin, who were teaching her openly, were all optimistic about her future. They also admired the Grand Princess for making such a decision. After all, the Grand Princess judged that Jiang Xianxian was more suitable to work for the young masters in the family based on just two sentences from Mother Chen.

So Jiang Xinxin's schoolwork focused on literacy and arithmetic, while Jiang Xianxian began to learn housework and needlework.

Jiang Xinxin really didn't care about such an obvious difference between the two sisters, so she behaved as usual. However, Jiang Xianxian was naturally overjoyed when she heard the vague rumors, and she became even more proud. If there wasn't a delicious carrot dangling in front of her, she would have been flattered to death.

Soon, a year passed. Because Jiang Xinxin had not yet completed the mourning period for her parents, she still wore plain clothes with no embroidery on her daily life, and only wore a pearl headdress on her head.

Jiang Xianxian, who was almost a head taller than Jiang Xinxin, had enjoyed a year of good food and drink, and not only grew faster in height, but also looked better. Naturally, her appearance became more delicate and lovely, which made the maids who targeted her even more ruthless. However, Jiang Xianxian was not an easy person to deal with. She seemed to be born with some domestic tricks, and she also recruited several new maids to run errands for her, so she never suffered any loss.

Seeing that Jiang Xinxin had remained calm, Mother Chen couldn't help but test her: "Your sister is about to have a good life. Do you still want to stick to what your mother taught you?"

Although Jiang Xinxin had no memory of her past life, her experience was her experience. She answered seriously, "I think my mother is right. If you want to gain something, you must lose something. My parents only wished me a peaceful life, so I naturally have to follow their wishes. This is the greatest filial piety."

Hearing this, although Mother Chen's expression was still serious, her eyes softened a lot, "In this case, starting tomorrow you will follow me to organize the young lady's warehouse."

Mother Chen was the late Madam's confidant, so the person she called "Miss" was naturally only the second Miss Ye Xiwu, who was domineering both inside and outside the mansion.

In the past year, Jiang Xinxin has not heard of the dispute between the two young ladies in the family. Some people say that the eldest daughter is a concubine's daughter, and she even wants to compete with the second daughter who is a legitimate daughter. This is really an attempt to meddle in other people's affairs.

Of course, some people also say that the eldest daughter is obviously much more beautiful, has better character and knowledge than the second daughter, but because of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, she has to give in to the second daughter who is unlearned and even has a bad reputation. It is really pitiful.

However, Jiang Xinxin felt that the second young lady, who was so arrogant and domineering that she wished the eldest young lady dead, was not a good person. The eldest young lady, who could become famous in the capital despite being deliberately ignored and suppressed by her elders, was not an easy person to deal with either. Even the fight between these two young ladies was likely to involve a third party, but no one in the general's mansion could see it.
