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.
