My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 144 Zhang Zhong's Path

Zhang Zhong was very silent along the way, and Zhu Yong wanted to speak several times, but Zhu Zhanhe stopped him with his eyes.

For Zhang Zhong now, what he needs most is quietness, as friends, they just need to be with him quietly.

In the end the carriage returned to the small courtyard where Bai Shao lived, Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Yong helped Zhang Zhong get off the carriage, Bai Shao also came out nervously, her status was low, she had no way to go to the Duke's mansion, but I can wait here.

Seeing Zhang Zhong's dull expression, Bai Shao was about to ask, but was stopped by Zhu Zhanhe again, and then the three of them helped Zhang Zhong back to the bedroom and lay down.

Zhang Zhong was covered in wounds at first, after the activity, some wounds ooze blood again, so Bai Shao opened the bandages on his body, and treated some wounds again.

During this period, Zhang Zhong lay on the bed with his eyes closed, still not saying a word, even when he was treating the wound, he didn't respond in any way.

After treating the wound, Bai Shao pulled Zhu Zhanhe to the outer hall, and asked eagerly, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Zhu Zhanhe sighed, and then explained in detail what had happened to the Duke's Mansion before.

Although Bai Shao had deceived Zhang Zhong, she was still kind and righteous. If it hadn't been for her reminder, Zhu Zhanhe would not have guessed the reason for Zhang Zhong's disability.

"Young master, he... he should have been a daughter!"

After listening to Zhu Zhanhe's narration, Bai Shao was also shocked and couldn't believe it.

However, Bai Shao is proficient in medical skills after all, so he suddenly said: "If this is the case, then everything makes sense, no wonder he is physically disabled, and he looks like a woman, so everything is caused by that boy pill of!"

"It's too late to say this now. What I'm most worried about is that Brother Zhang can't think about it. After all, after more than ten years of being a man, he suddenly learned that he was supposed to be a woman, and his physical defects would never allow him to become a woman." For a real woman, this is an unacceptable thing for anyone."

Zhu Zhanhe sighed and said again.

Compared with the physical disability, Zhu Zhanhe was worried that Zhang Zhong would suffer more psychological damage. If ordinary people suffered such a blow, they would lose all hope long ago.

"Young Master is wrong. From what I know about Young Master, he is far stronger than ordinary people, so I believe he will definitely survive!"

Bai Shao said very confidently.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanhe also felt that what Bai Shao said made sense. Zhang Zhong had been disabled since he was a child, and he was disliked by his father. up.

Zhang Zhong lay on the bed for three consecutive days, during which Bai Shao changed his medicine, and he would cooperate with feeding him, but he just refused to talk.

Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Yong were afraid that Zhang Zhong would have an accident, so they lived in the small courtyard for three days, and they even took turns to rest, ensuring that someone would accompany Zhang Zhong at any time.

Until the evening of the third day, Zhang Zhong suddenly sat up from the hospital bed and said to Zhu Zhanhe next to him, "I want to drink!"

"But……"

Bai Shao just wanted to say that Zhang Zhong's injury is still not healed, and it's not suitable for drinking, but Zhu Zhanhe interrupted: "I have good wine at home, let someone get it right away!"

After a while, the wine was delivered, and Bai Shao made some simple dishes.

Zhu Zhanhe also called Zhu Yong, who stayed up late yesterday and is now fast asleep, and the three of them formed a table in the living room, and Bai Shao personally poured wine for the three of them.

Zhang Zhong never talked about his own affairs, but kept urging Zhu Zhanhe and the others to drink. He himself was too busy to drink, and Bai Shao, who was pouring the wine, was almost too busy.

In the end, the three of them were all drunk, but because of the bitterness of Bai Shao, they dragged the three of them to the bed to rest one by one.

Early the next morning, the hangover Zhu Zhanhe woke up with a headache, and Zhu Yong who was next to him was snoring so loudly that he was woken up at all.

There was still a blue light outside the window, obviously it was still dark.

At this moment, Zhu Zhanhe didn't feel sleepy at all, so he simply got up, and then opened the door to the yard.

I saw Zhang Zhongyi standing there in white clothes, looking up at the slightly whitish sky in the east, as if he was waiting for the sunrise.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

Zhu Zhanhe stepped forward and asked.

"I couldn't sleep, so I just came out to watch the sunrise."

Zhang Zhong replied calmly.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Zhu Zhanhe hesitated for a while, and finally asked.

Although Zhang Zhong's life was ruined, life must go on, cruel and helpless.

"do not know."

Zhang Zhong shook his head lightly, and his eyes were a little more confused.

He doesn't want to go back to that home anymore, but with his current situation, he doesn't know what to do after leaving home?I don't have any plans for my future life.

"If you want to hear it, I can analyze it for you."

Zhu Zhanhe said again, he has been thinking about this issue while guarding Zhang Zhong these days.

"Tell me."

Zhang Zhong nodded, he really needs someone to help him now.

"Actually, there are only two paths in front of you. First, abandon your identity as a man and become a woman. Although you can't marry and have children like ordinary women, you don't have to bear the responsibilities of a man. How you live in the future is all up to you." It depends on what you mean."

Zhu Zhanhe suggested very seriously.

In the case of Zhang Zhong, as long as he finds out in later generations, he will face the choice of being a man or a woman.

"Let's forget it, I grew up as a man, it's impossible to be a woman!"

Zhang Zhong rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.

Zhu Zhanhe was not surprised by Zhang Zhong's rejection.

I remember that there was a news in later generations, a man married for many years, because his wife had not been pregnant, so he went to the hospital for examination, and found that this man turned out to be an XX chromosome, but because of a rare disease, he grew into a man.

Later, this man also chose to live as a man. It is said that his wife also agreed. Except for the impossibility of having children, the life of the couple was not greatly affected.

"If you don't want to be a woman again, then you can only live as a man!"

Zhu Zhanhe paused at this point, and then said again.

"But you can think clearly. In this society, although men are freer than women and have more power than women, they also have to bear more responsibilities. Especially in your situation, the road ahead may be even more difficult. difficult!"

"I know the road is difficult, and I'm not afraid, but... what can I do?"

When Zhang Zhong said the last thing, he also showed confusion on his face.

Dragging his mutilated body since he was a child, he was brutally beaten by his father. He has survived all these, so he is not afraid of life no matter how hard or tiring he is, but he doesn't know which direction he should work hard?

"There are many men in good health in this world, but very few of them can really achieve a career, and men with physical disabilities may not be unable to achieve success."

Zhu Zhanhe took a deep breath before continuing.

"For example, Zheng He, the chief eunuch of the Inner Palace Supervisor, led the fleet to sail four times to the west, riding the wind and waves, massacring cities and destroying the country, exalting our Ming Dynasty's prestige overseas, who would dare to underestimate him because of his physical disability? "

Hearing the name "Zheng He", Zhang Zhong was also shocked, and his eyes lit up. What people fear most is that they are confused and can't find the direction to work hard. However, Zhu Zhanhe took Zheng He as an example , showed him the way.

"I understand! I understand!"

I saw Zhang Zhong suddenly waved his fist, and walked back and forth in the yard twice excitedly.

Zheng He is a eunuch, Zhang Zhong does not intend to be an eunuch, but he can also go to sea, because Han Wangfei is organizing a fleet, and plans to sail to the West with Zheng He's fleet this year, and this is only the first time, There will be a second, third time in the future...

Zhang Zhong can follow Zheng He's example and join the voyage fleet. I believe Zhu Zhanhe will be willing to help him arrange it. As long as he works hard, he will be able to break out his own world in the voyage sooner or later.

The other most important thing is that Zhu Zhanhe asked Zhang Fu to apologize to Zhang Zhong when he was in the Duke's mansion that day, but Zhang Zhong refused.

It wasn't that Zhang Zhong forgave Zhang Fu. In fact, when he learned that the reason why he became like this was all because of Zhang Fu, Zhang Zhong's hatred for him had already been deeply planted. In his heart, he had long since denied him. It's his father.

So from the moment Zhang Zhong left the British government, he had no intention of going back, and even wanted to stay as far away from Zhang Fu as possible. What could be farther than traveling to the west?

"Zhan He, when will the fleet sailing to the West leave?"

Zhang Zhong asked Zhu Zhanhe eagerly, at this time a ray of morning light appeared in the eastern sky, and the world also became brighter.

"Brother Zhang, you have thought about it, do you really want to go west with the fleet?"

Zhu Zhanhe reconfirmed that after all, voyages to the Western Seas are not a trivial matter, and the risks are huge. Even if you follow Zheng He, you cannot guarantee 100% safety.

"I thought about it, God made a big joke with me, let me change from a woman to a man, if that's the case, then I will live like a man, and I will let him see, even if I leave him , I can live better!"

At the end of Zhang Zhong's speech, he once again gritted his teeth.

Obviously, his hatred for Zhang Fu has penetrated into his bones, and it is impossible to forgive him in this life.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, since you want to go, then I'll tell you a bigger plan!"

As Zhu Zhanhe said, he told Zhu Gaoxu's purpose of going to Cochin, as well as his plan to go to the Lion Kingdom with the fleet in the future, and then plot the entire Tianzhu.

Zhang Zhong was also shocked and dumbfounded when he heard this. It was already a big plan for him to organize the fleet with the Princess of Han and follow Zheng He to sail to the west, but he didn't expect that there was a bigger plan hidden behind it.

"What is your family going to do?"

After Zhang Zhong was shocked, he immediately asked anxiously, this is another voyage to the west, and another plot to plot Tianzhu, this action is not much less than a rebellion by soldiers.

"The reason is very simple. You know my father's temperament. He stays in Daming. He will either compete with my uncle for the throne or oppress the people. Instead of leaving him to harm Daming, it is better to let him out to harm those other races!"

When Zhu Zhanhe said this, he suddenly smiled, and continued in front of Zhang Zhong.

"Your father usually looks awesome, isn't it because he is the Duke of the state, you go overseas to join my father, and let him make you a Duke for fun in the future, and see what your father will do then Show off?"
