When Mr. Zheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but slow down his pace. His heart was full of mixed feelings, and he suddenly didn't know how to face this Cui Hao.
Cui Hao heard the noise and raised his head: "Master Zheng, you are here." He immediately stood up and smiled sheepishly, "After they brought me here, I was a little tired and sat down for a while."
A person who crawls around in the military camp will naturally not get tired after standing for a while. Cui Hao would say this because he was afraid of being blamed. Mr. Zheng felt even sadder when he thought of his previous attitude towards Cui Hao: "
It’s not good to sit here, it’s cold here, let’s go inside and talk!”
Cui Hao nodded very obediently: "Okay." Then he reluctantly raised his head and looked at the osmanthus tree again, as if he would never see it again.
Mr. Zheng walked in front, and Cui Hao immediately followed. Neither of them spoke a word along the way.
After entering the house, a servant of the Zheng family brought tea. Cui Hao habitually got up to pick it up. The servant of the Zheng family was a little stunned. He didn't know whether he should hand it over. He was so stunned that the tea was already in Cui Hao's hand.
Hao respectfully presented it to Mr. Zheng, and then stood aside.
This is usually a job done by servants, but Cui Hao does it very smoothly.
Mr. Zheng glanced at the servant: "You go down!"
The door of the room was closed, leaving only the two of them alone.
Master Zheng went to see Cui Hao: "Sit down."
Cui Hao then sat on the edge of the chair. Probably because he had been in the army for a long time, his sitting posture was very regular, with his back straight and his eyes straight.
Mr. Zheng looked at Cui Hao carefully and saw that his skin was rough and dark, with several scars on his forehead, the longest ones reaching the corners of his eyes, a straight nose bridge, medium lips, and a slightly broad jaw.
Mr. Zheng unconsciously stroked the beard under his chin. Cui Hao was very similar to him in this. He had never noticed it before. No, it should be said that he didn't want to pay attention.
He didn't want him and the Zheng family to have anything to do with anything. It made him feel disgusting. If any family's heirs were treated like this, no one would be able to hold their heads high in front of others.
It wasn't until he met Cui Hao by chance in the inn, saw his shocking wounds, and heard what the Wan brothers said that he was a little shaken and couldn't help but think about whether Brother Qian was still alive.
"Is your injury getting better?" Mr. Zheng's voice was slightly deep.
"Okay, I would also like to thank Mr. Zheng for sending a lot of good medicine." Cui Hao said this and stood up to salute Mr. Zheng.
Master Zheng stretched out his hand: "Sit down, sit down, don't be too restrained, I want to talk to you."
Cui Hao sat down again.
Mr. Zheng said: "You said you vaguely remember things from your childhood. Do you remember that your mother's name was Guiniang?"
Cui Hao touched his head: "Yes, sir, I found the man Yaozi, and then I found Jiangyin and found out about the Zheng family. I told you after I met you. I remember my mother's name is Guiniang.
I remember an osmanthus tree, and I still remember that when I was taken away, I was looking at a lantern, and the lantern I was looking at was a little rabbit."
Mr. Zheng was silent for a moment: "Do you remember anything else?"
"No, Mr. Zheng," Cui Hao smiled, "I am trying my best to find my biological parents. If there are any other clues, I will not tell them."
Mr. Zheng was silent again.
"Sir," Cui Hao suddenly said, "I actually didn't want to find the Zheng family. I heard that families who sell their sons and daughters have some difficulties and have no choice but to do so. There are also families whose family circumstances have changed drastically or have encountered some difficulties...
I had some military exploits and some savings, so I thought about finding my parents, maybe I could help.
After I found the Zheng family, I felt that it was impossible to recognize my parents. No matter what happened at that time, the Zheng family... would not want me."
Although Cui Hao said this, there was no look of shame on his face. On the contrary, he said very calmly: "I can also understand that such a century-old family cannot lose its reputation, so I returned to Yanshan Guard soon.
I don't want to come back either.
Although someone later told me that she knew clues about my life experience, I was not tempted... This time it was because of Miss Yan Si that I realized that identity is so important to a person.
It cannot be achieved through hard work or hard work."
Mr. Zheng only felt his throat was pungent. He picked up the tea and took a sip: "Now that I have found some clues, you can wait a little longer and find the solid evidence..."
"Master Zheng," Cui Hao said, "are you dissatisfied with the things I was sold into and did? I did... but I don't think I'm unclean. That's not what I want to do.
Even if you feel sorry for me and want to compensate me, the Zheng family may not be willing.
As I said, reputation is much more important than a bastard, and your requirements for morality and etiquette are always much stricter than ours."
Mr. Zheng immediately said: "It's not what you think. I've found out clearly that if you are Brother Qian, I will let you recognize your ancestor and return to the clan, and I will also come forward to the Yan family."
"Master Zheng, you may not be able to find out clearly," Cui Hao said. "No one can confirm it. You always say you will find out. In fact, the clarity does not lie in those things, but in people's hearts.
If I were sold to a scholarly family, passed the exam, and was clean in public, would you have recognized me?
You can say it outright, and no one will have to guess."
Mr. Zheng didn't know why anger welled up in his heart. He stood up and said, "I didn't say I didn't recognize you. Why don't you understand? I said I would make a decision when I figure everything out."
"It's too late." Cui Hao suddenly said.
Mr. Zheng was stunned there, not understanding what Cui Hao meant.
Cui Hao raised his head after a while, and once again showed his honest expression: "I'm afraid that if I can't wait any longer, the Yan family will deal with the fourth lady. If something happens to her, there will be no point in my life."
Mr. Zheng looked at Cui Hao and was stunned. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth. His eyes fell on the plate of snacks on the table: "You...do you like snacks? You
Eat some..."
When Cui Hao heard this, he walked over, reached out and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth: "It's very sweet. I like sweet food. It's delicious. Thank you."
After saying this, Cui Hao turned around and left the house.
The room became quiet, and Mr. Zheng didn't get up for a long time. He vaguely heard Gui Niang's voice in his ears. He raised his head and saw Gui Niang hugging Brother Qian. Brother Qian reached out to grab the snack in Gui Niang's hand.
"I've already eaten two pieces of this," Gui Niang said helplessly, "Brother Qian is the same as Master, both love to eat very sweet things."
"If you like it, give it to him."
Mr. Zheng vaguely remembered saying this.
He raised his head and looked at the plate of snacks on the table, dazed.
…
Cui Hao walked out of Zheng's house.
Wan Sheng and Wan Rong were waiting for him at the door. When they saw him, they immediately gathered around him: "Brother, do the Zheng family recognize you? We have bought all the things, and if Mr. Zheng agrees, we will go directly to the Yan family."
Wan Rong was holding some gifts in his hands, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Cui Hao said: "Not yet. Maybe there will be a turn for the better after a while. Don't worry, take your time! There is finally improvement."
The Wan brothers' faces froze, and Wan Sheng patted Cui Hao's shoulder comfortingly: "The Zheng family has let you in. This is a good thing."
Cui Hao had a smile on his face, as if he had really let go of everything.
Several people walked out and as soon as they walked out of the alley, they saw a carriage parked there.
The car curtain opened, revealing the face of Miss Yan Si. Next to Miss Yan Si, there was a female family member sitting there. Cui Hao also knew this person. She was Miss Xu.
