Hearing the voice, the young man looked up. He had a delicate face, fair skin, and a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water, rippling with light.
"Master Xue?" The young man tilted his head, seeming a little confused.
It took the servant several seconds to come back to his senses and retract the amazement in his eyes. No matter how many times he looked at him, Young Master Liansheng was always so handsome, as beautiful as a fairy, and he was also kind to them, the servants.
"Yes, Mr. Xue, he is the young general's grandfather."
Before Lin Liansheng and Lansheng arrived, the huge general's mansion had only one owner, Zhuang Rongjun. It was said that Zhuang Rongjun's parents, the general and his husband, had passed away.
Lin Liansheng didn't ask any more questions. He could sense that Zhuang Rongjun was very resistant when talking about her parents.
The matter between the general and his wife seemed to be forbidden in the general's mansion. Someone had mentioned it accidentally before, and Lin Liansheng never saw that servant again.
The man said that the general, Zhuang Rongjun's mother, was killed by Zhuang Rongjun.
Lin Liansheng didn't know whether it was true or not, and didn't ask any more questions.
He and Lan Sheng were in the general's mansion just to repay a favor. He didn't want to know anything else.
"What is the relationship between the young general and Mr. Xue?" Lin Liansheng put down his pen and asked.
As far as he knew, Zhuang Rongjun's reputation in the capital didn't seem to be very good. In the few months since he arrived at the general's mansion, only the former Crown Prince Qin Zichu had come.
"Mr. Xue is the young general's closest relative." Mr. Xue is Zhuang's father's father, and Zhuang Rongjun's grandfather. During the holidays, the only place Zhuang Rongjun would go is Duke Xue's Mansion.
"In that case, I'll go and take a look."
Zhuang Rongjun has not been in the mansion these days. She once said that if she was not there, Lin Liansheng would be in charge of everything in the mansion.
She also said that if someone you don't know comes to your door, you don't have to pay any attention to them.
But, Mr. Xue, I think I know him.
-
"Who are you?" Sitting in the main seat, Master Xue narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the young man in front of him, and gently turned the Buddhist beads in his hand. He had a serious expression, probably because he had been in a high position for a long time and had a lot of pressure on him.
"I hope Mr. Xue is well. I am Lin Liansheng." Lin Liansheng glanced at him and then looked away, with no change in his expression.
"Are you the man my granddaughter brought back from outside?"
Lin Liansheng nodded. He was indeed brought by Zhuang Rongjun from Renhe County.
"Is Sister Jun not here?" asked Mr. Xue indifferently.
Lin Liansheng lowered his eyes and replied, "The young general has been away from the capital for some important matters in the past few days. I estimate that he will not be back for a few more days. If Master Xue wants to see the young general, I'm afraid he will have to come back in a few days."
"That's fine. I just left something for Jun Jie'er. Now that she's not here, I'll have Master Lin pass it on."
The servant beside Master Xue handed a picture album to Lin Liansheng.
Master Xue said, "Jun Jie'er is now eighteen, and it's time for her to marry. These are the candidates I carefully selected for her. They are all young men of noble status and clean character in the capital. Let her choose two or three, and then come back to Duke Xue's mansion to discuss the marriage in detail."
Get married?
Lin Liansheng's fingers holding the album unconsciously tightened, and he stayed there until Master Xue and others left.
"Master Liansheng, are you sad?" Xiao Jin, the servant beside him, asked hesitantly, with worry in his eyes. "Master Liansheng, the young general can marry a husband, and he can also take a concubine. Then you must be the first choice for the concubine."
