Chapter 965 - 0965: Mutual Affection 2
Lu Tianjun listened to everything, and after going over the words in his mind sentence by sentence, he finally understood Feng Qingxue’s meaning.
"Auntie," Lu Tianjun slowly coaxed out a smile, a smile of ease and confidence, "Competent people never fear the slander of the outside world, only those without ability would fuss over their wife’s family being of higher status than their own, harboring a grudge! For me, the Jiang family is the Jiang family, Xiaoyue is Xiaoyue, there’s no comparison. And the one I admire is Xiaoyue, not the Jiang family."
Well, having said both "wife" and "admire," doesn’t that make clear his feelings for Jiang Xiaoyue?
This pair of lovebirds is really amusing, each having affection for the other, yet neither able to discern the other’s feelings, and they have to have her mediate in between.
Putting aside the class struggle, another great aspect of this era is that many people don’t care about social status. Offspring of officials and children from ordinary workers and farmers getting married are common occurrences.
Of course, there are still so-called high-ranking official families who despise common folk for their humble origins before they have even cleansed themselves of the mud.
"Tianjun, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease," Feng Qingxue wanted to pat him and call out well done, but her hand was caught by Lu Jiang and didn’t stretch out. After thinking it over, she stopped beating around the bush, "Tianjun, you have feelings for Xiaoyue, and Xiaoyue is interested in you, and it’s causing her a lot of distress. So, what happens next is up to you. You guys should talk amongst yourselves!"
Lu Tianjun was overjoyed, "Auntie, do you mean...?" Could it be as he hoped?
"She asked me to inquire about what kind of female comrade you admire. I think it’s better for you to answer this personally!"
After Feng Qingxue finished speaking, she quickly walked away with Lu Jiang, leaving some privacy for the young couple.
Slowing their pace, Lu Jiang calculated Lu Tianjun’s age and found out he was not even twenty yet; he couldn’t help but widen his eyes, exclaiming, "When it comes to the age of taking a wife, this kid beat me by ten years; how is that possible?"
