Aunt Du looked at Jiang Nianjiao's cheerful look and youthful face, and she seemed to be reminded of herself in the past.
Naturally, she would not refuse Jiang Nianjiao's proposal.
She nodded slightly and just followed Jiang Nianjiao's footsteps towards the lake.
At this time, there were only a few small boats parked by the lake, but there was also a painted boat parked in the middle. The boat was like a colorful dragon, with carved beams and painted buildings, and was extremely exquisite.
It looks like the female relatives of some family are having a banquet here.
When Jiang Nianjiao was about to look for the boat next to her, a searching voice came from behind her, "Miss Jiang?"
Hearing the woman's voice, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but subconsciously turned around and looked over.
After the woman confirmed that it was Jiang Nianjiao, she just smiled and said, "When I looked at her figure from a distance, she looked like a girl. I didn't expect that I guessed it right."
The woman's face was filled with joy, and Jiang Nianjiao naturally recognized her. Wasn't she the same Miss Qian Yufei and Qian whom she met yesterday afternoon?
She asked softly, "How did Miss Qian's incident yesterday be resolved in the end?"
Qian Yufei smiled proudly when Jiang Nianjiao asked about this. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and said, "Fortunately, the girl's few words yesterday taught her to be wary. Since she gave in, I naturally don't have time." I continued to waste time with her, and as soon as she retreated, I went up to Mi Bridge. Anyway, after crossing Mi Bridge, she just reacted and jumped in anger, and that had nothing to do with me."
After saying this, Qian Yufei said to Jiang Nianjiao, "By the way, are you here to attend Qi Peipei's birthday party too?"
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she realized that today was Miss Qi's birthday party. When she heard this, she just shook her head and said, "I'm not familiar with her, but I didn't know that today was her birthday."
When Qian Yufei heard this, he couldn't help but asked curiously, "Then you came here alone to go boating on the lake?"
Jiang Nianjiao quickly explained, "Of course not, I am accompanying my aunt to visit the lake."
After hearing this, Qian Yufei realized that Jiang Nianjiao was accompanied by an older woman. Although the woman was also dressed in rich and luxurious clothes, her appearance and figure were still too haggard, so she initially thought that this woman was The mother-in-law beside Jiang Nianjiao didn't care. In addition, she had never heard of such an aunt in the Jiang family. Thinking of her rudeness, Qian Yufei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and said, "I have never heard of this before." thing."
Then she said to the woman, "I hope Madam will not blame you."
It was an unintentional mistake. How could Aunt Du really care about this little girl? Naturally, she just waved her hands.
Then Qian Yufei said, "By the way, Miss Jiang, since you're already here, why don't you come with me to celebrate Peipei's birthday at her banquet."
Jiang Nianjiao just declined and said, "She is not familiar with me, not to mention that there is no post yet. If I go, I will inevitably cause trouble to the master's family."
This Qian Yufei looks quiet and quiet, but unexpectedly, he is also an outgoing person. When it comes to persuading people, he is even more sophisticated: "What is appropriate or inappropriate? Peipei likes to be lively, and she doesn't care when I come here." Leave me a message. As for not being familiar with her, she will be familiar with her after she goes there. Besides, Peipei has always wanted to get acquainted with her, but she just doesn’t have this opportunity. She will definitely be very happy when she goes. "
After saying this, she looked at Aunt Du and said, "Besides, Aunt Du is here. It would be too shabby for you to let her take a boat trip on the lake."
Jiang Nianjiao also wanted to rent a big boat, but now she was shaken by Qian Yufei's words, so she turned to Aunt Du and said, "Auntie, would you like to go and see the boat?"
Aunt Du smiled and said, "As long as the girl is happy, I will naturally follow her."
Since she said so, Qian Yufei just assumed that Aunt Du had no objection.
Therefore, she took the initiative to take Jiang Nianjiao to Huafang.
There were almost all familiar ladies and ladies in the boat. The ladies were in their youth, and all of them looked like otherworldly people. The women were also well-kept, noble and elegant.
At this time, they were standing together with acquaintances, talking in twos and threes, but when someone got on the boat, they would inevitably cast some peripheral glances.
Although Aunt Du is dressed luxuriously today, years of hard work and wind and frost are all written on her face.
She felt a little uncomfortable walking among this group of people. She was just afraid that she would be seen by people she knew in the past.
Fortunately, no one on the cabin seemed to recognize her, nor did they pay too much attention to her, so Aunt Du breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian Yufei directly took Jiang Nianjiao to see Qi Peipei. She seemed to want to make Jiang Nianjiao her confidant because of the incident that Jiang Nianjiao rescued her from yesterday.
At this time, in the main hall in the middle, a group of young ladies were surrounding a woman who was dressed delicately but had an average appearance.
When Qian Yufei saw the woman, he pulled Jiang Nianjiao and walked between them.
"Pe Pei, I'm here." Qian Yufei said loudly.
The woman named Qi Peipei obviously had a good relationship with Qian Yufei. She only said slightly angrily, "Why did you come here?"
"I'm not going to pick up a gift for you. I was delayed on the way." Qian Yufei whispered.
Qi Peipei laughed, then stretched out his hand and joked, "Where's the gift?"
Qian Yufei didn't care and just handed a rectangular box to Qi Peipei.
Then she said, "By the way, Peipei, let me introduce to you. This is Jiang Nianjiao, the daughter of Mr. Jiang."
Then she pointed to Aunt Du and said, "This is Miss Jiang's aunt, Mrs. Du."
After hearing Qian Yufei's introduction, everyone turned their eyes blatantly towards Jiang Nianjiao, and for a moment there was an uproar of discussion.
Qi Peipei was particularly friendly and said, "It turns out to be Miss Jiang. I have long heard that she is an excellent dancer. I have always wanted to ask her for advice, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to get to know her."
Jiang Nianjiao only chuckled and said, "I'm only half-experienced, and I don't dare to ask for advice. If the girl is interested, you can learn from me."
While the two were talking, the gift that Jiang Nianjiao had sent Cui Qiao to prepare at a nearby jade shop just arrived.
As soon as Cui Qiao came over, Jiang Nianjiao handed her gift to Qi Peipei and said, "Miss, don't be surprised. I didn't know until halfway that today was your birthday, so I prepared this gift in a hurry."
Qi Peipei took the gift with both hands with a smile and said, "Girl, you are interested. You can come over and I can get to know you. That is my luck. As for whether this gift is a gift or not, it is not that important."
After saying this, another group of people happened to arrive on the boat. Qi Peipei had no choice but to apologize to Jiang Nianjiao, and then went to greet other ladies, while Qian Yufei led Jiang Nianjiao to find a seat to sit down.
Unexpectedly, this person had just sat down, and Qian Yufei happened to see that Xuanmei, who had had friction with him last night, was among the invitees, and Qi Peipei actually looked very eager to Xuanmei.
She couldn't help frowning and said slightly unhappy, "Why is she here? It's really unlucky. Peipei is the same, why do you have to get to know everyone?"
Listening to what Qian Yufei meant, Qi Peipei seemed to be a long-sleeved official lady who was good at dancing. However, neither Qi Peipei nor Qian Yufei had any more than a friendship between gentlemen, so Jiang Nianjiao didn't say anything.
When Qian Yufei introduced Jiang Nianjiao just now, there happened to be other people present. As everyone was talking, a lady who looked familiar but didn't know each other took the initiative to come over and talk to Jiang Nianjiao.
This kind of banquet is a social occasion, and no matter what Jiang Nianjiao's reputation is, her family background and her future status are enough for people to take the initiative to get to know her.
Someone set a precedent, and naturally, ladies came over to talk to Jiang Nianjiao one after another.
But when these people were talking to Jiang Nianjiao, most of them looked at Aunt Du. One of them only mustered up the courage to ask with a smile, "I don't know Mrs. Du, but she is the eldest lady of the Du family in Lingnan."
Aunt Du was asked and didn't know how to answer. Jiang Nianjiao said calmly, "No, my aunt's husband's family is in Huaitai."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't remember where Huaitai was or what aristocratic families there were.
Therefore, the topic of asking Aunt Du should have been dropped. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a woman wearing gold and silver suddenly asked in surprise, "You Hui? Are you You Hui?"
When she heard someone calling her maiden name, Aunt Du was a little surprised for a moment.
She raised her eyes and immediately recognized that the woman seemed to be her former friend, but she had gone through too many things and couldn't remember what her friend was called. She whispered, "I am."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman hugged Aunt Du excitedly.
"It's really you, Youhui! We old sisters haven't seen each other for many years. Where have you been all these years? You haven't contacted me for any reason. You can't even think about leaving today, but you have to be honest with me." Tell me what you have been doing all these years."
Before Aunt Du could speak, the woman had already poured out a string of words like a barrage of words.
Aunt Du didn't know how to react at the moment, but meeting old friends in her old place obviously made Aunt Du feel a lot more at ease.
So when the woman took Aunt Du to talk, Jiang Nianjiao didn't stop her.
She was originally worried that her aunt would feel uncomfortable here. After all, when she was talking to the little girls, she kept following them instead of socializing with the ladies next to them. This would look a bit strange in the eyes of the other ladies.
She didn't care what others said about her, but Aunt Du obviously did.
So now she saw that Aunt Du seemed to belong to her, and she was relieved. That woman was obviously a fiery and very sociable person. In just a moment, she waved six or seven official wives over, and Apparently, these people are all old friends of his aunt.
She looked at it for a while and then turned away. She didn't expect that at this moment, she only met Xuan Mei.
When their eyes met, Xuan Mei suddenly glared at Jiang Nianjiao and Qian Yufei.
At this time, Jiang Nianjiao and Qian Yufei were sitting together. In Na Xuanmei's eyes, it seemed that the two of them were in the same group.
But just as she was about to stand up and make trouble, the woman next to her held her down.
"Have you forgotten what your father told you before going out?" the woman scolded calmly.
