Chapter 370
As long as she didn't want to see Zhang Zifu, no one dared to let her in.
“Miss, I saw it with my own eyes. When Miss Zhang left, she looked unhappy. I think she came out empty-handed,” Qiuyue excitedly shared what she had seen.
"Whose family moved in next door?" At this moment, Wenxiu felt that her new neighbor was to her liking.
She really wanted to ask her how her new neighbor had managed it, since Zhang Zifu was known to be a difficult person to deal with.
“Miss, I’ve inquired. The new Vice Minister of Revenue has moved in next door. Her young lady is the one who was originally to marry the heir of the Marquis of Ru’an, but was taken back by the heir of the Prince of An. Now, the Emperor has bestowed her marriage upon the Prince of An, the Li family’s daughter,” Qiu Yue quickly said.
"Hmph, Zhang Zifu must have found out everything and thought it was easy to take advantage of the Li family, so she went there. She didn't expect to be kicked out. She's shameless." Even though Wenxiu was aloof, she still found Zhang Zifu's endless shameless behavior disgusting.
“Miss, I’ve seen Miss Zhang lingering around the Li family’s gate several times. The Li family members are very vigilant,” Qiuyue said with a smile.
"Could you send a note to the neighbors for me later? We'll go pay them a visit too. Also, prepare a gift; it's our first time visiting, we can't go empty-handed," Wenxiu said, putting down her book and giving her detailed instructions.
"Miss, I'll go right away." Qiu Yue was very happy to hear that her young mistress was willing to go out.
After all, since her young master was away from home, she actually hoped that her young lady could have friends.
If Miss Li next door is a kind person, she would like to hope that Miss can become her friend.
Li Zhiwei was taken aback when she received a visiting card from another neighbor.
“Miss, the next door is the residence of General Pingxi. General Pingxi is not currently in the capital. The person who sent this invitation should be General Pingxi’s sister, Miss Wenxiu,” Qinghua quickly explained.
"What kind of person is this Miss Wen?" Li Zhiwei looked at the post, somewhat hesitant.
After all, Li Zhiwei felt that people like Miss Zhang were not the same kind of people.
She never wanted to see Miss Zhang again.
“Miss Wen is just as her name suggests, quiet and elegant. She doesn’t have the fighting skills of women from military families, but she’s a nice person,” Qinghua said after thinking for a moment.
If Wenxiu heard Qinghua's words, she would probably be so angry that she would laugh. After all, Qinghua's skills were actually quite good, but she was aloof and usually wouldn't show them off in front of others.
Otherwise, her older brother wouldn't have felt comfortable leaving her alone in the capital.
"Since that's the case, then let's grant it. Let Miss Wen come tomorrow." Li Zhiwei felt that she should make some preparations since this person was coming.
If Miss Wen catches his eye, it's possible that the two could become friends.
Besides, I plan to open a shop in the future, so I can get to know the daughters of prominent families in the capital and have a clearer direction.
"Miss, please rest assured. Look, Miss Wen sent you an invitation before visiting, unlike Miss Zhang today. This shows that the Wen family are also people who observe proper etiquette," Qinghua said quickly, seemingly seeing through Li Zhiwei's thoughts.
"Since we have distinguished guests, we should prepare some things tomorrow to properly entertain them," Li Zhi said with a smile.
After all, she planned to prepare some snacks for visiting customers in the future, and right now, all she needed were a few people to try them.
Tomorrow will be a great opportunity.
In contrast to the harmonious atmosphere at the Li family's side, the imperial palace was shrouded in gloom and despair.
"Your Majesty, our treaty with the Qinling Kingdom expired long ago, but the Qinling Kingdom still comes to demand tribute as usual. Could it be that they have forgotten?" Ye Qingyan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said softly.
He never expected that simply submitting a memorial to the emperor as usual, mentioning the tribute to the Qinling Kingdom, would cause the emperor to bring up the old treaty.
Now that the century-long period has long passed, it's somewhat unreasonable for them to continue offering tribute.
However, the Qinling Kingdom is far stronger than their Lanno Kingdom.
