Chapter 20 Cool
"Second sister, you look a little pale, but are you feeling uncomfortable?"
She looked sincere and worried. If she didn't let Jiang Ruoting feel miserable this time, she would have lived in vain!
"I..." Jiang Ruoting was about to say that she was fine, but she changed her mind and suppressed the idea, "Maybe I didn't pay attention to the cold yesterday, and the wind is a little uncomfortable now."
Jiang Ruohua Jiang Ruohua, she hated Jiang Ruohua the most because this woman made her so powerless even if she did nothing!
If she said that she was fine now, it would be fooling people. Even a fool would see that she was unhappy. It was obviously she who brought the person here. Now she was unhappy again. Wouldn't she destroy her image?
"Ah, this is not a trivial matter." Xie Shuyan took a thin cloak from the maid and put it on Jiang Ruoting, and then said to the boatman, "Boatman, please hurry up."
Seeing this, the boatman also silently accelerated the speed and rushed to the pleasure boat.
"Second sister, hold on a little longer. We are close to the pleasure boat now. Let's go up." Jiang Ruohua held Jiang Ruoting in her arms with concern.
Don't you like to play the role of a sister with deep affection? Then she will accompany Jiang Ruoting to play it well. If people have resentment and anger, they will release it sooner or later. She wants to see how long Jiang Ruoting can hold on.
And the moment when it is released for no reason must be as wonderful as she imagined.
It can be clearly felt that Jiang Ruoting has a little resistance. Jiang Ruohua pretended to be stupid and thought that she was uncomfortable. She also comforted her again. Other ladies headed by Xie Shuyan also gathered to care about her situation.
At this moment, Jiang Ruoting wanted to be alone and digest the emotions in her heart, but now she could only force a smile to respond to these concerns that she didn't need at all.
Moreover, there was no place to hide on this small boat. Jiang Ruoting was young after all. Although she inherited the calculations of the third wife, she could not help but be impatient. The more she tried to avoid some things and digest them herself, the more Jiang Ruohua cared about her!
"Second sister, don't hide it from me. Are you really okay?" Jiang Ruohua looked very concerned and hid her smile in her heart.
It's uncomfortable, right? It's right to be uncomfortable!
The others did not drop their concerned eyes, and quietly, making Jiang Ruohua gradually change in the eyes of several people.
This experience really made Jiang Ruohua feel wonderful!
For Jiang Ruoting, it was a lot of hard work to get on the painting boat. Jiang Ruohua helped her up, and then her maid boarded the painting boat from another small boat to take over her master.
"Let's find a quiet and sheltered place to rest first." Xie Shuyan said with concern, "Don't worry, sister Jiang, we will take care of you naturally. Don't worry, take care of your own health."
"Second sister, don't worry about me anymore." Jiang Ruohua even took her hand and patted her, "I know what you mean, second sister. If you always worry about me, I will be ashamed as your sister. You should rest well. If you still feel uncomfortable, remember to send a maid to tell me."
Seeing that Jiang Ruoting couldn't find her flaws, she could only swallow all her reluctance and nod helplessly. There was only one word in her heart.
Cool.
It was really cool. She was full of resentment in her dream, but now she knew that revenge was so good! Everything around her became bright!
Jiang Ruoting was left behind, and the rest happened as planned. It must be said that Jiang Ruoting had a strong purpose in everything she did. The young ladies she was friends with either had fathers and grandfathers who held important positions in the court or were noble ladies, or had been engaged since childhood and had a husband from a prominent family. In short, the girls headed by Xie Shuyan had good families and good husbands, and lived a smooth life. I'm afraid that she would be separated from her life after her death in the dream. These handkerchief friends also helped Jiang Ruoting a lot.
The noble women were not completely secluded. Their words and deeds represented their husbands' families. Some of them planned their husbands' future by getting to know the wives of the rich and powerful. She didn't understand this in her dream, so she was obviously a princess, but she never interacted with any of the ladies. In order to establish a relationship, those ladies would rather please Zhao Yuexi and never take her princess seriously, which made her feel no sense of existence in the circle of ladies, let alone fulfilling her duties as a princess and making friends with the ladies to win over their husbands for the King of Ying.
Although she had put the King of Ying aside now, she thought that socializing was inevitable. She didn't want to do these things for men now, but she couldn't escape doing these things for herself and her family. Making friends with these future rich and powerful ladies was a hundred benefits for her.
"Sister Zhang, teach me again. I always can't do this well..."
The ladies in the boudoirs gathered together to paint, write poems, play music, dance, taste tea and fragrance. They also played pot-tossing and kicking balls, but they couldn't show off their skills on this painted boat. There were also some people who specifically shared their new balsam jewelry.
Miss Zhang Wanyuan smiled and took the tea from Jiang Ruohua's hand and demonstrated it again. Jiang Ruohua watched from the side and seemed to admire sincerely: "Sister Zhang's hands are really dexterous. I can't do it. I'm afraid I need to practice more."
"It's just practice makes perfect. Sister Jiang has just started, and she can do this well. It's amazing." Zhang Wanyuan pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Liu Xiyun sitting next to her and said, "It's much better than Sister Liu!"
Liu Xiyun pouted slightly: "Okay, why do you involve me? I can't do this tea, but you can't compare with me in this dance."
All the young ladies laughed, no one was unhappy because of such words, and no one deliberately mentioned Jiang Ruohua's cancellation of the engagement. After all, the prince had already canceled the engagement, and it was conceivable who was dissatisfied with whom. Everyone chatted harmoniously, and they started to ask Liu Xiyun to dance.
Liu Xiyun was naturally not vague, and she was not stingy to dance with the sisters. The place where they landed was just half exposed, and they could see the clear water outside. Adding a dance would naturally make the scenery beautiful.
"What a coincidence, I brought a zither." Jiang Ruohua said happily, "If sister Liu doesn't mind my poor zither skills, how about I play for you?"
"Okay, I'm just short of zither music, how can I dislike sister Jiang!"
Hua Chan presented the zither, but it was not the good zither from last night, but a standard zither. Jiang Ruohua didn't intend to show off too much, nor did she intend to play too well. Being able to fit in with this group of people was the most important thing. There was really no need to be too sharp when getting along with others.
After all, in the dream today, she was proud of her future status as a princess, and was dragged here because Jiang Ruoting was on both sides. She couldn't fit in the conversation, so she was naturally excluded by them. When she met King Ying and Zhao Yuexi on the pleasure boat, it was the most embarrassing moment of the day, but it happened that at the same time, Jiang Ruoting played the piano and got along well with this group of noble ladies.
And at this moment, Jiang Ruoting happened to pass by.
