Chapter 896: Chapter 896: A Group of Masters 4

Aunt Xu smiled with pursed lips, "Actually, several families have mentioned to your matchmaker aunt and your father, but Acheng hasn’t agreed."

"Why?" Feng Qingxue asked.

Initially, Guan Cheng was somewhat evasive, but unable to resist Feng Qingxue’s intense curiosity and knowing she cared about him, he said softly, "In one’s lifetime, seeking a soulmate, how can one be hasty about it?"

What he envisaged for marriage was like his parents’ and Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue’s.

Only with mutual love and understanding can one share a lifetime.

The girls from Wanglou Brigade were mostly very good, naïve and pure-hearted, hard-working and capable, but not suitable for him. He could do laundry and cook; he didn’t need a partner merely for washing clothes and cooking. What he sought was a shared interest, a connection of souls, someone who wouldn’t be completely lost when he mentioned "Bai Xue". They were to spend a lifetime together, not just a day or two.

Some, through Miao Fengqin and Wang Fengqiao’s matchmaking efforts, came from families with only daughters and probably thought that since he was an orphan, they wanted him to become a son-in-law who lived with them and carried on the family line, settling down in Wanglou Brigade from then on.

This, Guan Cheng would never agree to.

The Guan Family had a long history of scholarship that ceased with his father. All the cultural classics had been destroyed, and his responsibilities were not only to foster his brother but also to revitalize the Guan Family. He had to reintroduce the Guan Family to the world, to tell them that the Guan Family hadn’t died out, that there were still talents in the Guan Family, and the Guan Family was still the same, not extinguished in the annals of history.

It wasn’t that he looked down on son-in-laws who moved in with their wives’ families; it was that he had his own responsibilities.

This heavy responsibility never ceased to remind him that he was a descendent of the Guan Family. His brother was young and a posthumous child, with no memory of the Guan lineage. Only he could restore the family’s honor. Now that the situation was chaotic, he didn’t know when he could openly reveal his identity. With such a background, he dared not marry carelessly; he didn’t want to implicate others.

Although Feng Qingxue didn’t know Guan Cheng’s specific thoughts, being extremely intelligent, she could glean something from his expression and his love for his brother. She almost guessed it completely.

"Right, marriage is a significant matter, not to be taken lightly. Our Acheng is still young and should earnestly search and be sure."

Guan Cheng nodded vigorously, "Exactly, auntie, you have asked about my timing; why not keep an eye out for Tianjun? Though Tianjun is a bit younger than me, he is also of age to take a wife."

Feng Qingxue said with a smile, "I’m not worried about Tianjun at all."

As soon as she said this, the other three people in the kitchen looked at her, and Lu Jiang blurted out, "Do you have someone in mind?"

Of course, Jiang Xiaoyue. In their past life, they were husband and wife who were truly in love with each other.

"It’s not about whether or not there is a candidate, but that Tianjun is now a soldier. He should first strive for some achievements before thinking about a wife! The situation of a common soldier looking for a wife is completely different from that of an officer." Feng Qingxue didn’t mention Jiang Xiaoyue; she didn’t know if Li Jun had made a mistake yet. She needed to wait until Li Jun made a mistake, the two families had a falling out, and the marriage became impossible to continue. Then, she could matchmake for Jiang Xiaoyue. Hopefully, she could get together with Lu Tianjun ahead of time, which might change their fate of not having children in their previous life.

In their last life, who knew what wrongs the Lu Family had committed; Lu Jiang never married, and Lu Tianjun, who was the heir to the Lu Family, was childless all his life. Eventually, all the burdens fell upon Lu Tianzhi and his children.

Thinking of Lu Tianzhi, still somewhat naïve and childish, Feng Qingxue rubbed her temples. Great, there was still a lot to worry about!
