Ren Yaoqi was on the pleasure boat and could not hear the conversation between the people on the platform, but he could tell from the situation that the old man of the Su family and the old man Han got along very well. Afterwards, the old man Su introduced the old man Han to many people who came forward to say hello.
Although Old Master Ren was talking to Master Ren, he kept an eye on the situation over there. Then, Old Master Ren seemed to give Master Ren a few instructions, and Master Ren went to talk to Master Han and Master Su. Then, Master Su and Master Ren seemed to have heard something amusing and burst into laughter, and even asked someone to invite Old Master Ren over as well.
Ren Yaoqi sat in the pleasure boat and watched without blinking, but his brows couldn't help but frowned.
Previously, out of caution, they reconsidered Ren Yaohua and Han Yunqian's marriage, but as the Su family gained a stronger foothold in Yanzhou, given Old Master Ren's temper, it was very likely that the old matter would be brought up again. Ren Yaohua could still repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
At this time, several more people came up to the platform from the steps on the shore. Many people on the platform greeted the person walking in front. Even if some people did not deliberately come forward to greet him, their eyes vaguely turned to that person, and some people were whispering to each other.
Ren Yaoqi subconsciously looked at the man walking in front of him. He was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a handsome face and strong features. His figure was very tall like most people in Yanbei. He was wearing a plain navy blue robe, which made him look more mature and steady.
Ren Yaoqi was just trying to guess who this person was when he suddenly noticed a young man following closely behind him. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was the young man named Lei Zhen who had appeared on the bridge with Yun Wenfang and his brother. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but think that this man might be Lei Zhen's brother, Lei Ting.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but linger on the man again. Though his expression was serious, he handled the crowd with ease and grace. Even from a distance, Ren Yaoqi could tell from his minimal expressions and gestures that he was a man of great control. Though he looked young, he exuded a sense of stability and trustworthiness.
Adjacent to the platform where the heads of various families sat were several well-built pavilions. The two on the right housed the young masters of the various families, while the two on the left housed the ladies of the various mansions. Ren Yaoqi saw Old Madam Ren leading the ladies to the first pavilion on the left.
Every year in Yanbei, there are various large-scale competitions for the wealthy families to entertain themselves, such as the ice skating competition that Ren Yaoqi had seen last time and the dragon boat race this time. The layout of the venues is similar, the only difference is the scale.
This indirectly shows that the people of Yanbei actually have a warlike mentality in their bones, and even their daily entertainment is mostly competitive.
Ren Yaoqi was watching and thinking about something when Xiao Jinglin patted Ren Yaoqi on the shoulder.
Ren Yaoqi turned around and met Xiao Jinglin's eyes, which were always calm and peaceful.
"Why don't you go and see your grandmother?" Xiao Jinglin asked.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned, then followed Xiao Jinglin's gaze and saw a lady and two women dressed as maids getting out of a carriage parked on the river bank and walking towards the awning.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned and speechless for a moment as he looked at the lady with a serene expression and a smile on her face. Even her simple attire could not conceal her noble temperament.
