Yu Rou didn't refute and said with a smile, "Let's talk about it later. Let's go first."
Yu Ting pursed her lips and said, "Didn't they say that the Crown Prince is coming? Sister really doesn't want to look for the Crown Prince?"
"Those are all nobles in the palace. What can I do there? You have to be careful and cautious in everything in the palace. My grandmother told me before I came here that you should not talk nonsense, especially you. Don't always mention His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yu Rou said in a serious tone, acting like an elder sister.
Yu Ting was stunned. She didn't expect Yu Rou to say that, but her mother had indeed told her the same thing before coming here, so she nodded honestly and said, "I understand."
Yu Si also said: "Big sister is right, we will be careful."
Yu Rou nodded, "Well, let's go."
Yu Ting and Yu Si hurriedly followed. Yu Si asked, "Big sister, are we going to the waterside pavilion?"
Yu Rou: "Yeah, I saw Sister Jiang."
Yu Ting also looked over, her face showing the joy of seeing an acquaintance, "Yes, I also saw Sister Zhao."
The noble ladies all had their own small circles. The daughters of powerful families usually interacted with the daughters of prominent families, and the daughters of officials also played with girls from scholarly families. As for Yu Rou, who came from a family of noble military officers, of course she could not play with those ladies who had been influenced by poetry and books since childhood.
The Yu, Zhao and Jiang families were all noble families descended from military generals. In particular, the ancestors of the Yu and Jiang families were all founding heroes of the Da'an Dynasty. The relationship between the two families used to be very good, but since the Jiang family gave up military service and turned to literature, the two families gradually became estranged, but they still had a good relationship on face.
Now that I think about it, the Jiang family is indeed far-sighted, and the Yu family cannot compare with the Jiang family in terms of foresight.
The Jiang family has only one legitimate daughter, named Jiang Yuyan. Her talent, knowledge and character are all top-notch among these noble ladies, but her appearance is average and a bit rough. She doesn't look like a girl, but more like a boy. However, her personality is very straightforward and generous.
The Zhao family, like the Yu family, valued military affairs over literature, and was even worse. The Yu family practiced military affairs and did not like to study, while the descendants of the Zhao family were rude and arrogant, and always had an instinctive hostility and rejection towards scholars.
Logically, the Zhao family had offended more people. If Old Master Yu had not passed away and Yu Si's father had not colluded with the traitors, the Yu family would not have been the first to fall.
…
When Yu Rou arrived at the waterside pavilion, she saw many familiar faces, including several ladies from the Zhao and Jiang families.
The first person to see Yu Rou and the others was the daughter of the Zhao family. She suddenly stood up and waved at Yu Rou, "Sister Rou, you're finally here!"
Yu Rou walked over with a smile, "You guys came really early."
"I didn't want to come. I have no interest in this palace banquet at all. However, I also heard that He Yulian and Yang Sanniang made a bet. I guess you couldn't stand the provocation and decided to come, so I came to take a look."
Zhao Lanjia raised her eyebrows, looking like she was waiting for something interesting to happen.
Yu Rou didn't respond and found a place to sit down. The atmosphere was awkward for a moment. Zhao Lanjia looked embarrassed and couldn't help but feel that Yu Rou was deliberately embarrassing her.
Jiang Yuyan smiled and said, "Sister Rou looks in good spirits. I heard you were ill a few days ago, but now you seem to be much better."
Yu Rou said, "Well, I received the sachet that Sister Yan sent me. I like it very much."
Jiang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled more gently, "As long as you like it, I love to do these things on weekdays."
"I don't know what spices Sister Yan used. They smell so good, but I can't bear to open them. Sister Yan, could you tell me? I want to try making some too."
I have said before that with Yu Rou's personality, if she wants to please others, she will definitely make the other person like her.
Just a few words made Jiang Yuyan feel much better about her, and their relationship became much closer.
"Look over there, Yan Wanyun is coming." Someone suddenly shouted.
The ladies in the pavilion subconsciously looked towards the shore.
He Yulian, who was sitting in the pavilion next to her, quickly went over to meet her, but this time she wasn't looking for trouble. She had originally disliked Yan Wanyun, but after Yan Wanyun helped her once, she had become a close friend. It was precisely because of He Yulian's help that Yan Wanyun, a descendant of a humble family, was able to easily break into the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
Yu Rou watched calmly as Yan Wanyun walked over under the enthusiastic guidance of He Yulian.
Yan Wanyun also dressed up today, with delicate makeup on her small oval face. Her skin color was not very white to begin with, and compared to the spoiled noble ladies in the capital, her skin color looked darker. The original owner had even said behind her back that she was a dark girl, but now it seems that the climate and soil in the capital are good for people, and the Yan family is now on the rise. She looked much fairer, wearing a double-breasted jacket with a bright satin pattern of sky blue roses, a lilac-colored pleated skirt with silver thread, a double-knotted Ruyi hairpin with white jade inlaid with red coral beads, and a pair of red gold and purple-ying pendants hanging from her ears. Her face was a little cold, and she smiled faintly, with a sense of nobleness and pride.
Yan Wanyun noticed Yu Rou's gaze on her and looked over at her in confusion. Her eyes only stayed on Yu Rou for a moment, then moved away lightly. Yu Rou also noticed that she frowned slightly.
Originally, everyone thought that He Yulian would take Yan Wanyun to the waterside pavilion to sit down, but for some reason, the two of them actually came over to Yu Rou and the others.
Yu Rou raised her eyebrows, her expression still indifferent.
Everyone else in the pavilion looked at Yu Rou. Everyone knew that He Yulian and Yu Rou didn't get along. With Yu Rou here and He Yulian coming over, they were afraid that the two would start arguing again.
Jiang Yuyan was also very good at making things work. Noticing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, she smiled and said, "I wonder what today's competition will be about."
