"I understand." Nan Luo knew that the Xiao Family members wouldn't be easy to deal with. He thought about it and sighed deeply. Why did he feel that he really didn't want to meet with anyone?
It was really tiring to be in this position.
But since this was part of the few things he had to pass in his path towards his dream, he had to follow it.
"Go have some rest. And Feng Ao Si, you're not allowed to meet with them." Old Master Nan glanced at his first grandson.
Nan Luo is fine, but Feng Ao Si will definitely be fooled.
"Yes, Grandpa." Feng Ao Si's face blushed a bit. He felt that he was being despised, but he couldn't help it.
It was hard enough for him not to fall asleep in class, okay?
"Right, Grandpa, Young Commander Sheng will be introducing his sister to Brother Si. I'll try to find time when Feng Ao Kuai also have the time to go together." Nan Luo recalled another matter.
Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes. "Do you really have to come?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"While Young Commander Sheng is not the smartest person I have ever met, he's smarter than you. To make sure that he properly introduces his sister to you, I and Feng Ao Kuai should accompany you." Nan Luo smiled.
Old Master Nan rolled his eyes.
Nan Luo was only short of pointing at Feng Ao Si's face and told him that he was stupid and it would be better for others to help in such an important matter like marriage. Being a commander at young age, Feng Ao Si was by no means a poor boy.
The remuneration and money he had earned so far was a lot. If they were ordinary people, it was the amount that would ensure them able to live well without the need to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
"That's…"
"I've heard of Young Commander Sheng," Old Master Nan interrupted Feng Ao Si's protest. "He's a good boy, but his background is not the same as you. Are you sure that you want to meet with his sister?"
Feng Ao Si heard his grandfather's words and blinked his eyes. "That's… maybe?"
Old Master Nan narrowed his eyes. "What did you hear about his sister?"
"She's living in the village, she likes to hunt and go to the forest." Feng Ao Si looked at his grandfather cautiously. "Sheng Shan Lang said that his sister is now part of noble family because of his title increase in his journey as commanders. However, her living habits might be a bit simple."
"Anything else?"
"Uh… beautiful?"
Nan Hua: "…" Every brother will introduce their sister as beautiful.
Nan Luo: "…" That was not exactly an objective evaluation.
Old Master Nan looked at Feng Ao Si and felt that Sheng Shan Lang might have said more than that. But Feng Ao Si's brain couldn't remember everything but the impression that was left from the talk about her.
"Let Feng Ao Kuai come. His eyes should be better than you."
Feng Ao Si: "…" why did he feel his grandfather is despising him.
"Since that's already settled, I'm going first." Nan Luo then slipped away. He didn't want to give any chance to Feng Ao Si to turn the words back to Old Master Nan. With Old Master Nan's agreement, Feng Ao Si had to follow this.
Feng Ao Si was dumbfounded. He felt that he had been coerced by his younger cousin, but he couldn't find the words to complain.
He looked at his grandfather. "Grandpa, how did you know about this?"
"Dai told me in the letter." Old Master Nan looked at Feng Ao Si. "Why do you think I arrange him to stay beside you as your adjutant?"
Feng Ao Si opened his mouth but couldn't say any words.
He had already expected that Old Master Nan will arrange someone to watch over him. What he didn't expect that the person Old Master Nan arranged would be his strategist and also adjutant.
Looking at Feng Ao Si's expression, Old Master Nan didn't add the fact that he was actually also the one letting Dai allow Feng Ao Si to associate with Sheng Shan Lang. When he heard that Sheng Shan Lang wanted to introduce his sister, Old Master Nan sent his own people to investigate Sheng Shan Lang's family.
Sheng Shan Lang is an orphan.
Because of bandits, he lost his parents and stayed with his sister in the village, working hard together.
The two of them had good reputation.
And Sheng Shan Lang also had great hatred towards bandits. When he became a commander, he arranged his army to settle a lot of bandits, allowing the villagers to live a much happier life in the village.
His sister was not a typical woman who was soft and obedient. Instead, she had her own mind and quite a lively girl.
Based on the investigation he found, she's a decent person.
Thus, Old Master Nan allowed Feng Ao Si to continue hear about it. But whether the two of them would truly become husband and wife was another matter.
"Give me your opinion after you have seen her. If you think it's suitable, I don't mind. But if you don't think she's suitable, don't waste your time."
"…Yes, Grandfather." Feng Ao Si felt that his grandfather truly didn't trust him. But who could he complain to? It was his performance that made his grandfather didn't want to trust him.
But it was also good that his grandfather didn't directly arrange someone for him. After all, many engagements in this era didn't even allow the two people to meet before marriage.
Old Master Nan gave Feng Ao Si a bit of education before sending Feng Ao Si away.
In the end, Feng Ao Si dejectedly walked back to his temporary quarter. After all his grandfather would personally supervise his training tomorrow. He had to make sure that he rested well or he would end up unable to get up from the bed after the long training tomorrow.
