Chapter 91: Father?
The place where Zhou Zezheng invited Zhang Jiu was at the Huaxia Restaurant. When Zhang Jiu arrived, Zhou Zezheng had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Zhang Jiu come in, Zhou Zezheng got up and gave Zhang Jiu a deep look with complicated emotions on his face, but he quickly recovered.
"Keep Master Zhou waiting for a long time," Zhang Jiu said with a smile. Although he has a good impression of Zhou Zezheng, but in view of the opposing relationship between Qin Ce and Zhou Zezheng, Zhang Jiu thinks it's better for them not to get too close.
"It's okay, nephew Zhang Xian, sit down." Zhou Zezheng took his seat and ordered the food to be served, and then looked at Zhang Jiu, his eyes seemed to be thinking.
Intuition that Zhou Zezheng is a little abnormal today, but the relationship between the two has not reached the point where they can tell everything. Under Zhou Zezheng's gaze, Zhang Jiu smiled calmly and said, "I don't know why Master Zhou asked me to come here?"
Zhou Zezheng avoided Zhang Jiu's gaze as if evasive, held up his teacup to hide his unnaturalness, and after a long silence, he forced a smile, "I heard that nephew Zhang Xian was the top three in high school and won the third place in high school. I wanted to congratulate you as soon as possible. , I never thought you would go back to Xiangzhou, so I delayed until now, I hope Nephew Zhang Xian will forgive me."
"Master Zhou is too polite. I am so ashamed to bother Mr. Zhou to worry about such a trivial matter." Zhang Jiu picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "I will toast Mr. Zhou with tea instead of wine, thank you Mr. Zhou."
"How can this be a trivial matter? The parade of No. [-] picks at that time caused a sensation in the whole of Daqin. It's a pity that nephew Zhang Xian is not in the capital, otherwise nephew Zhang Xian will be able to show off his demeanor." Zhou Zezheng looked at Zhang Jiu regretfully.
"Master Zhou is too famous. I happened to have something at home at that time, so I had to miss it."
Zhou Zezheng fell into silence once again, his eyes revealing thoughts, until Zhang Jiu called him several times before he came back to his senses, overflowing with a bitter smile, "I lost my mind."
Zhang Jiu shook his head and said that he didn't care.
With a light cough, Zhou Ze was looking at Zhang Jiu and said, "Nephew Zhang Xian, have you ever heard the rumors that the capital came in?"
"Rumor? What kind of rumor is Mr. Zhou talking about?" Zhang Jiu smiled clearly, with disdain in his eyes. Of course he knows what people in the capital are talking about now, and it is nothing more than talking about him and Qin Ce , Of course, most of them are insults and accusations against him, and Zhang Jiu can almost repeat those difficult words.
After returning to the capital, Zhang Jiu said that the matter between him and Qin Ce had caused a lot of trouble in the city. Although it was a matter of time, but it would spread so fast that some people would inevitably contribute to the flames. For this reason, he even told Qin Ce Complained, but he has always been able to ignore other people's opinions very well. It's not that he doesn't care, but just caring can't change anything. It's better to let himself live happily.
Leng Nuan knew that since he had chosen Qin Ce, he had expected that he would be criticized by thousands of people. He was fully prepared for this, and he also knew that he would not be able to let Qin Ce go. Zhang Jiu felt that the loss of Qin Ce was even more unacceptable to the accusations of the world, and he had already made a judgment in his heart about which was more important.
Looking at Zhang Jiu's expression, Zhou Zezheng knew that Zhang Jiu knew exactly what he said, "I'm talking about the rumors about you and the second prince."
"It turns out Master Zhou was talking about me and Hengzhi." Zhang Jiu suddenly realized, "Actually, this is not a rumor. Hengzhi and I are indeed together. I believe we will get married in a short time. Master Zhou will reward you with face." Come and drink with us"
"Nonsense..." Zhou Zezheng slapped the table heavily, and the teacup on the table trembled a few times, "As a man, you want to have sex with other men, do you know what is etiquette and shame?"
Zhang Jiu looked at Zhou Zezheng quietly. This person was the first to criticize him righteously. What should he say?
Perhaps because he realized that he was too excited, Zhou Zezheng calmed down his emotions, and said to Zhang Jiuyu earnestly, "Nephew Zhang Xian, do you know what others like you will think of you? You are young and still have a good time, why not?" Can you destroy your future like this? If you want to be an official, I can help you, as long as it is within my ability, you can make any request, and stop being obsessed with being with the second prince."
He knew that many people would think that he and Qin Ce were together for the sake of fame and wealth, and wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but someone really stood in front of him and said that, Zhang Jiu still felt very uncomfortable, and the accuser was still an acquaintance, for Zhou Zezheng , Zhang Jiu was a little disappointed. Just now Zhou Zezheng said that he had no sense of shame, and Zhang Jiu only regarded it as the teaching of his elders. At this time, although he did not ask Zhou Zezheng to understand him, it is still very embarrassing for Zhang Jiu to look down on his character. not happy.
Zhang Jiu looked at Zhou Zezheng coldly, "Master Zhou, if I want to be an official, I can take any position without relying on anyone. Don't think that anyone can do it." Considering power as important"
Zhou Zezheng couldn't help but look away from Zhang Jiu's sarcastic eyes, and he didn't dare to look at him, but he still didn't give up admonishing Zhang Jiu, "That's the case, why are you with the second prince? If there is a good result, you should separate from him as soon as possible."
"Master Zhou" Zhang Jiu said with a heavy voice, Zhou Zezheng's words made him hear very harshly, and he no longer intends to continue to make false claims with him, "I'm with him because I want to be with him. How about I will bear it myself, Master Zhou, don’t you think that as a person who met by chance, you care too much? Master Zhou, what position do you have to criticize me, if you don’t speak speculatively, I will leave first.”
Zhou Ze was burning with anger, and he was no longer as elegant as before. He yelled at the unrepentant Zhang Jiu, "What's your position? I'm your father. Do you have any position?"
The word 'father' stopped Zhang Jiu from walking out, turned around and looked at Zhou Zezheng with gloomy eyes, "Master Zhou, what did you say? Did I hear you right?"
Having already said it, Zhou Zezheng definitely has no reason to back down, looking at Zhang Jiu with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "You heard me right, I am your father, my biological father"
The first time he saw Zhang Jiu, he was surprised for a long time, because Zhang Jiu and Zhang Shuyun looked very similar, which was why he would save Zhang Jiu. He thought it was just a coincidence, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jiu was from Xiangzhou and also had the same surname. Zhang, Zhou Zezheng naturally thought of the Zhang family and Zhang Shuyun.
At that time, he went to the capital to take the exam alone, and unfortunately fell ill when passing through Xiangzhou. When he was disheartened, he met the kind and beautiful Zhang Shuyun, and fell in love with her at first sight. Taking care also arranged for him an easy livelihood.
Both of them were at the age of first love, and they gradually came together. At that time, he decided to spend his whole life with Zhang Shuyun. Until the imperial examination, he still firmly believed that he would not let Zhang Shuyun down.
But later, an imperial decree from the emperor completely broke his firmness. Facing the prosperity and wealth that could be obtained at his fingertips, he wavered, and cruelly left Zhang Shuyun behind and married the princess. He never looked for him, and gradually he buried the past with Zhang Shuyun in the deepest part of his heart, and no longer touched it.
After many years, Zhou Zezheng thought that Zhang Shuyun was married and had children, which was normal. He thought that Zhang Jiu and other people's sons, because Zhang Shuyun felt guilty in his heart, Zhou Zezheng wanted to make up for Zhang Jiu. Eye to eye also helped Zhang Jiu secretly.
But he never thought that Zhang Jiu would be his son. If Zhang Jiu and Qin Ce hadn't gotten too close, the third prince asked him to investigate Zhang Jiu. After giving birth to a child, Zhou Zezheng felt mixed feelings of sorrow and joy. He felt even more guilty towards Zhang Shuyun, and he was very pleased to have Zhang Jiu as his son.
However, he never thought about recognizing Zhang Jiu. He was sure that Zhang Shuyun didn't want him to know about Zhang Jiu. As for Zhang Jiu, he didn't know whether Zhang Jiu would want to recognize him as his father. Do not recognize Zhang Jiu.
If something like Zhang Jiu and Qin Ce hadn't happened, he would have kept this secret forever, but now because of Zhang Jiu, he can't guess so much, he can't just watch Zhang Jiu go to the road of no return. As a father, it may be the first and only time I can do for Zhang Jiu.
