The daughter of the mansion is slapped in the face every day

Jiang Yunxi has many considerations when making his selection, not just their talents.

"He has been wandering outside for sixteen years and crawling for eighteen years. His character is incomparable to that of ordinary people."

Jiang Yunxi knew that Jiang Nianbai would not be controlled in the future.

"This Jiang Nianbai, you should look into his background in more detail."

Jiang Yunxi always felt that this matter was too coincidental.

Zhao Changyu once led troops in Jingzhou.

Jiang Nianbai also happened to be in Jingzhou.

Jiang Nianbai is still a talented person.

What’s even more coincidental is that Jiang Nianbai is a member of the Jiang family.

Jiang Nianbai and Zhao Changyu are also related.

All these coincidences came together to finally bring Jiang Nianbai to her.

Jiang Yunxi felt that Zhao Changyu arranged Jiang Nianbai to the Jiang family not just for the purpose of sending Jiang Nianbai to her today, but also for some other reason.

Then, Jiang Nianbai’s identity may not be as simple as it seems.

After looking at all the people, Jiang Yunxi had a rough idea in his mind, "Are these the only ones?"

Apart from Jiang Nianbai, Jiang Yunxi really didn't like anyone else.

Nan Nan shook her head. "There are still a few people in the north who haven't arrived yet because the journey is too long. Plus, there are floods in the north. Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it will take a few days. I haven't received any news from them yet."

Jiang Yunxi nodded and ordered Zhen Zhen to summon all the nephews and nieces of the Jiang family into the warm room.

"I have a general understanding of your situation. I know that you have also prepared carefully for this meeting with me." Jiang Yunxi reluctantly said something to comfort them.

"But I want you to know one thing - I am going to select the Duke of Zhenguo. The selection criteria will naturally be based on the qualities and talents of the previous Dukes of Zhenguo."

When she said this, her eyes fell on Jiang Nianbai. But she did not emphasize Jiang Nianbai to avoid him becoming the target of public criticism.

"These qualities and talents are even superior to my preferences and those of Her Majesty the Queen Mother."

Jiang Yunxi glanced around and saw many of the Jiang family's nephews and nieces lowered their heads.

"I am not in a hurry to make a decision. I still need to observe for a while. If anyone wants to leave early, I will not stop you. Tell the housekeeper that the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion has prepared gifts for you to take home. It is a little gift from the Queen Mother and me."

When they heard that Jiang Yunxi did not announce the result on the spot, some of the nephews and nieces felt that they still had a chance and immediately showed their joy.

Jiang Yunxi also noticed their performance.

--------

"No!" Jiang Xueyi was furious when she heard Jiang Yunxi's words. "Look at what you are saying. His Majesty has sent so many doctors there. What are you going to do? Are you going there to die? Do you think you are more capable than those doctors?"

Although Jiang Yunxi had learned a lot of medical skills from Liaoshan, he had never used his medical skills outside. Therefore, no one knew the depth of Jiang Yunxi's medical skills.

All I know is that Jiang Yunxi's health is indeed much better than before.

Jiang Yunxi knelt there obediently, but her words were not submissive. "Yunxi does not dare to claim that she is more experienced than the imperial doctors. But Yunxi has treated many people in the past few years, so at least she has no problem taking care of the disaster victims. Yunxi also wants to do her part for the disaster victims."

Jiang Xueyi held Jiang Yunxi's arm and tried to pull her up.

But Jiang Yunxi couldn't hold on.

Jiang Xueyi was also a little helpless. "Child, I know you have good intentions to help others. But you don't have to go there in person! You can think of other ways, such as donating money, materials, or grain, or even forcing officials in the capital to donate things. I won't stop you."

The plague is spreading everywhere.

Jiang Xueyi was afraid that Jiang Yunxi would never come back once she left the capital.

"Grandmother, you've seen it too. The talents of the children sent from various places are average, but their ambitions are huge."

Jiang Yunxi still remembered the day when she went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to test the homework of the Jiang family members. Although those Jiang family boys were not very good at studying, their ability to please and flatter people was better than the other.

Their minds are all focused on crooked ways.

Jiang Yunxi knew that such people were the most unreliable.

Now that she holds power, they will come to please and flatter her; one day, if the situation changes, they will hide away faster than anyone else, and lean towards the more powerful side like fence-sitters, and may even betray her and step on her.

She would not choose such a person to be the Duke of Zhenguo.

I would never choose such a person as my brother.

"None of them are suitable to shoulder the responsibility of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. It is the most dangerous thing for a mediocre person to have power. It is not only dangerous for them, but also for us."

"Now that there's something wrong with the second branch of the Jiang family, His Majesty's attitude towards the Jiang family has become very cold. Grandmother, the Jiang family needs achievements." Jiang Yunxi looked at Jiang Xueyi with earnestness in his eyes.

"Then you don't have to go." Jiang Xueyi said in a heavy tone, holding the Buddhist beads tightly in her hand, turning them one by one with her thumb.

"Sixteen years after my father's death, his title of patronage still protects the Jiang family. But it's only sixteen years. If my death can bring even a little benefit to my grandmother and the Jiang family, I will go."

Jiang Yunxi and Jiang Xueyi saw most clearly the ups and downs of human nature over the past sixteen years.

It was Emperor Zhao Changta who, remembering Jiang An's kindness and Jiang Xueyi's favor, bestowed great honors and rewards on Jiang Yunxi.

As time passed, Zhao Changta's interest in the Jiang family gradually faded.

One after another, capable officials emerged in the court to help Zhao Changta solve his problems. How could Zhao Changta still remember the kindness of Jiang An or even Jiang An's father?

For the monarch, ministers are divided into two categories: those who can be used and those who cannot be used.

A useless minister, no matter how great a role he had played before, cannot escape the fate of being abandoned.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is a chess piece abandoned by the emperor.

"Do you think that I value my own glory and the glory of the Jiang family more than your life and your father's life?" Jiang Xueyi lifted Jiang Yunxi's chin, her eyes slightly red.

Jiang Yunxi talked about so many truths, but not a single word mentioned the relationship between Jiang Yunxi and Jiang Xueyi.

There was no mention at all of the life threat that Jiang Yunxi might face at any time.

He didn't care at all that Jiang Xueyi would be worried about Jiang Yunxi.

It was as if Jiang Yunxi had never had any grandparent-grandchild relationship with Jiang Xueyi, all he had was respect for the title of "Empress Dowager".

Jiang Yunxi was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

She didn't expect Jiang Xueyi's reaction to be so big.

She wanted to say something flattering to comfort Jiang Xueyi, but for a moment, she couldn't find any reason to refute.

Jiang Yunxi opened and closed his lips, but did not utter a word, appearing very hesitant.
