While her second brother Minghao was resting due to seasickness, Mingyue met a new friend. Mingyue described her as a beautiful sister with elegant manners and excellent conversation. Most importantly, a beautiful sister.

After admiring the furnishings in the cabin, Mingyue lay on the small couch and watched Zhizhi and Taotao put their belongings in place and tidy up their clothes. After all, they would be staying on the boat for quite a while.

The two little girls were also very excited. One of them was from Bingcheng and the other from Beijing. They had never seen such a big river, let alone taking a boat. At most, they had been boating on the lake, which was nothing. How could it compare to the turbulent river under their feet?

After quickly packing up and closing the windows, the three of them informed Jiang Mengrou and went out to stroll on the deck. With the highly skilled guards accompanying them, Jiang Mengrou felt quite reassured, but she still had Zhao Yunshan stand high up to keep an eye on them.

Mingyue walked very slowly. She wanted to describe the appearance of the boat in detail in her mind so that she could slide it down for Huan Ge'er when she turned around.

Daddy said this large passenger ship is part of the Lin family's business. Roughly speaking, it probably has about a hundred people on board, including the crew and sailors. I remember hearing Lin Siyu say that their family is currently building a massive ship that can carry five or six hundred people.

Just as I was thinking about it, I bumped into a lady without realizing it. Before I could react, I covered my head with my hands and said, "Sorry."

"It's okay, little sister, are you hurt?" Unexpectedly, Mingyue thought she would meet someone vicious and domineering, but she didn't expect it to be a gentle and kind older sister.

In fact, Mingyue didn't feel any pain. She even felt that the place where she was hit was a little soft. She just hugged her head subconsciously.

She looked up and saw that the young lady in front of her was at least two heads taller than her. At this moment, the sky suddenly became bright, and the originally foggy weather was instantly filled with a golden light. Mingyue's eyes were dazzled and her vision became a little blurred.

I squinted my eyes to see her appearance clearly, and couldn't help but sigh, what a beautiful woman!

Little did she know that the young lady was also captivated by her appearance. The golden sunlight shone on Mingyue's face, making her skin appear even more radiant and translucent. She looked like a fairy descending from the sky.

"Sister, you are so beautiful." Mingyue was almost drooling, looking like a little gangster. Fortunately, it was a girl, otherwise the servants around this young lady would have to chase her away.

And precisely because children's words are innocent and they were spoken by a little girl, the old women and maids following the young lady also smiled with pride.

"You are very beautiful too, little sister." The little sister bent down and pinched Mingyue's chubby little hand.

Mingyue held the little sister's hand with her backhand, and just kept leaning on her, asking her all sorts of questions, "Sister, my name is Mingyue, and I just turned seven this year~"

After saying this, his eyes were still expecting the young lady's reply, as if the little girl would cry if he didn't introduce himself.

After all, she was a lady from a wealthy family. The young lady leaned close to Mingyue and whispered, "My last name is Yu, and my given name is Youyou. I'm seven years older than you."

Mingyue stretched out her hand and pretended to snap her fingers. "One, two, three, four... fourteen, Sister Yu, you're fourteen!"

"Oh, sister Mingyue looks young, but she is quite smart and can even do math." Yu Youyou looked at Mingyue and liked her more and more. She really hoped that she could have a sister like her.

"Sister Yu, we will be friends from now on!" Mingyue held Yu Youyou's arm and swayed.

"Okay~" Yu Youyou looked at her lovingly.

The two of them walked to the designated resting area on the deck and ordered a cup of tea and a snack. They sat by the window, where they could enjoy the scenery without getting too cold. More importantly, there were only a few people outside at the time, so they could chat about their private affairs without anyone else hearing.

"Sister Yu, where are you from and where are you going?" Mingyue took the hot tea poured by Yu Youyou and held it in her palm.

"I'm originally from Jinling, but there were some changes at home, so I have to move to Yuhang." She took a sip of tea and looked at the river outside with a bitter look.

When people around Yu Youyou saw this look, they felt distressed and angry. Of course, this anger was not directed at Mingyue.

Mingyue could also tell that Yu Youyou was not in a good mood, so she tried to cheer her up, "Sister, guess where I came from and where I'm going?"

Yu Youyou then turned around to take a closer look, looking left and right, and even pinched Mingyue's small, chubby face. "Let me take a closer look. Hmm, Sister Mingyue must be from the capital."

Mingyue had learned from the experience of the uncle earlier, so she wasn't as surprised by the person's guess. "Huh, Sister Yu recognized my accent?"

Yu Youyou burst out laughing and said to the people behind her, "Come and take a look, this girl is really cunning and clever."

Mingyue had guessed about her hometown that morning in the same way and told her about it. Soon the two of them became close friends, and even the servants who followed them became familiar with each other.

"Mingyue?" Zhao Mingyang suddenly appeared outside the door. Seeing his sister sitting obediently on a chair, drinking water from a small teapot, his initial annoyance from searching for her in vain eased a lot, and he immediately softened his tone. "Why are you here?"

"Brother! Come here!" Mingyue stood up and waved at him.

Mingyang did not approach them, but walked to a place not far from them. It was visibly seen that the vigilant maids and servants behind Yu Youyou relaxed instantly.

Mingyue also understood the distinction between men and women, so she introduced him to Yu Youyou, "Sister Yu, this is my older brother, and he's celebrating his 11th birthday this year~"

"Brother, this is my new friend, Sister Yu~"

The two of them said nothing, but nodded to each other from a distance as a greeting.

"Mingyue, my second brother has woken up. I came to ask you to see him." Mingyang explained his purpose.

"Really!" Mingyue stood up and was about to run to find Minghao, but then turned around and said, "Sister Yu, I'm sorry! My second brother got seasick just now. I have to go see how he is doing."

Yu Youyou's eyes were full of envy, and she nodded, "Go quickly, I'm about to go back to my room to rest."

Mingyue hugged her before leaving and said, "Sister, I live in Room 8, Tianzi. If you miss me, send someone to look for me."

Yu Youyou was a little shy because of this intimate gesture, but she did not forget to hug him back and also said her room number, "Go quickly."

Looking at the backs of Mingyang and Minghao as they left together, Yu Youyou's heart and eyes were filled with envy.

"Miss, what's wrong?" The personal maid asked the dazed young lady.
