Chapter 308 Invitation
The robot came in again to report that Yan Anli had come to visit. Lou Xiaoyu quickly perked up, stood up from the sofa, and went to the door to greet him.
Gu Qing didn't understand why he was so enthusiastic, so she instructed the robot to invite the person in and prepare some fruit and tea.
As soon as Yan Anli entered, Lou Xiaoyu and Bo Chuan greeted him warmly, acting as the hostess.
If it weren't for what just happened, Yan Anli would have had to engage in some open and covert confrontations with them, but he simply wasn't in the mood for that right now.
He ignored the two people, greeted Gu Qing directly, and sat down in the seat to her left.
He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, alright, I just came from the Jin family. That Jin Beiwang is a wolf in sheep's clothing; he actually came from Commander Bo..."
He said he had never spoken so quickly and urgently before, leaving not only Gu Qing and the others speechless, but even Yang Fan was caught off guard.
Yan Anli's gaze swept across everyone's faces, but Yang Fan was unimportant. Bo Chuan seemed to feel a pang of guilt, Lou Xiaoyu wore a gloating expression, while Gu Qing remained calm.
He knew what was going on in a flash: "You know about this."
Gu Qing picked up the teapot and poured him tea, nodding as she answered his question.
Knowing the answer was yes, he suddenly felt a little nervous. How exactly did Qingqing want to handle this? Would she marry that guy Jin Beiwang?
Why did he stop just now? Even if he didn't kill him, he should have taken the opportunity to punch him a couple more times.
"I just sent him a message. I'll visit him in person tomorrow to explain this matter clearly. Here, try this tea; Chu Lan gave it to me." Gu Qing's tone was gentle, and her smile was sweet.
He also poured a glass for Bo Chuan and Lou Xiaoyu as well.
This made Yan Anli's heart skip a beat. He thought that Qingqing's words meant that she had decided to marry him. Then, would it be a bit inappropriate for him to say that he would be the first to enter the house?
After all, he knew how far he had risen in rank, and that it was somewhat unethical. But if he didn't say anything, he would feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lou Xiaoyu held her teacup, leaning slightly against the sofa, watching everything with a half-smile in her eyes.
"Anli, have dinner here tonight and try my cooking skills as a butler robot."
He had something on his mind, and although he should have been happy to receive such an invitation, he wasn't in a particularly high mood. "Okay."
Gu Qing didn't mind, and instead brought up other things, "Let's contact Bo Chuan later. Tomorrow I'm going to host a banquet for the Miao family, Gao family, Qiu family, Yan family, Jin family, Luo family, Feng family, Ye family, Wen family, and Shen family to come and appreciate the results of my trip."
Then her gaze turned to Lou Xiaoyu, "I'll need your help with this banquet. Please try to keep things in order and avoid being impolite."
Upon hearing Gu Qing's words, the two quickly straightened up. "Okay, Qingqing, don't worry about leaving it to me."
"Don't be too nervous. I've already written the invitations. You can send someone to deliver them to me later." She said, taking out a stack of exquisite red invitations from her spatial storage.
Placed on the coffee table, Lou Xiaoyu and Bo Chuan picked up a book and opened it. The book contained an invitation written in calligraphy, along with the name of the person who invited them.
Both the font and the wording have an ancient feel, and it is clear that this was handwritten by Gu Qing.
They were somewhat shocked. They didn't hide it even in their own home. Yan Anli couldn't help but pick it up and take a look, and he had the same expression.
After so many years of economic development, it is now divided into the Federation and the Empire. According to Gu Qing's observation, the Federation has obvious Asian blood characteristics, and the official language is Chinese from her previous life.
The empire's Western heritage is evident, and English is the official language.
Leaving aside the other side, let's talk about the Federation. Due to the long period of time and numerous natural and man-made disasters, the culture has inevitably experienced a break in integration.
Most interstellar people also know that some of the current etiquette and seasonal customs are somewhat out of place.
Therefore, in this relatively stable period, people from commoners to nobles have begun to admire ancient culture. The higher the level of banquets among nobles, the more they follow ancient etiquette.
Invitations are one type of invitation, but most are printed from templates; handwritten invitations are rare, if not nonexistent.
Those written with a brush are even rarer.
The fewer there are, the more precious they become. Besides, Gu Qing's calligraphy is much more beautiful than any handwritten invitation they've ever seen before.
After all, when it comes to antiquity, who can be more antiquated than her?
