Chapter 013: The Sweetness of Your Fingertips
Early in the morning of the second day, when Zhao Ning got up, the entire Zhao family manor was still silent, from Uncle Lian to the tenant farmers and servants, all of them were still asleep, and even the four Zhao Hu, who used to get up early to practice, had not yet gotten up.

Zhao Ning was so hungry that he panicked, and he didn't want to alarm others at this time, so he could only run to the small kitchen to find something to eat.
But before he walked into the small kitchen, Zhao Ning had already smelled a strong aroma of pastry, and he couldn't help swallowing for a while. When he came to the door, Zhao Ning saw a handsome woman standing in the mist of the small kitchen, "Siyun, I got up earlier than usual today, what did you do to eat?" ”
Siyun and Tingzhi are the personal maids that Zhao Ning's mother Liu found for him a long time ago before her death, and she is ready to make a room for Zhao Ning in the future. Among the two, Siyun is well-behaved and deserved, listening to Zhi's grace and dexterity, and they are all intimate people around Zhao Ning. Siyun also has good cooking skills, and Zhao Ning's diet is basically cooked by her.
"Huh?" I only heard the woman exclaim, turned around, and stared at Zhao Ning with a pair of beautiful eyes. Where is Siyun, it turned out to be Su Xiaowan, who Zhao Ning had been avoiding.
was won by Zhao Ning in that gambling contract that day, and Su Xiaowan was a little happy in her heart, because this little son of the Zhao family was a person who knew her and understood her.
She was born with a hard life, and her life in the past ten years has been like duckweed chasing water, and she has never been able to help herself. And this little boy not only understands her, but is also willing to respect her and respect her right to choose.
After Zhao Ning won the gamble that day, he was still willing to let Su Xiaowan decide to stay and decide her future, and at that moment, she had a feeling that she could decide her fate for the first time.
It was also at that moment that she began to really have a good impression of this little boy who was less than seven feet tall. Zhao Ning didn't look very handsome, nor was he very tall and mighty, but from that moment on, Su Xiaowan felt that this little boy was so worthy of her reliance and trust.
So at that moment, she chose to stand beside Zhao Ning, and said the sentence, "The little woman's body is like a river going eastward, and there is no reason to return to the west." It shows his firm determination to choose Zhao Ning.
Even though Zhao Ning was three years younger than her and was only a twelve-and-a-half-year-old child, Su Xiaowan trusted him.
In the few days since she came to the Zhao family's manor, Su Xiaowan felt that life was so comfortable. This small manor, far away from the bustling land of Luojing, does not have the gold and jade in the first building in Luojing, the eyebrow building, the greasy smell of fat powder, and the people who come and go with those businessmen and dignitaries.
There is a pastoral atmosphere here, from farmers and nurses to girls and servants, everyone is simple and simple, and their lives are pure and tranquil. People work at sunrise, rest at sunset, listen to insects and birds, and smell the sound of chickens and dogs, just like a paradise and a paradise on earth.
In Su Xiaowan's life, only when she was still with her ruthless parents when she was a child, there were vaguely similar memory fragments. She loves life in this manor, and this manor, like Zhao Ning, makes her feel down-to-earth and safe.
However, she didn't know what Zhao Ning's mind was.
She thought that the night Zhao Ning won her, she couldn't wait to enjoy the fruits of her victory and taste her charm.
She is mentally prepared for this, even if Zhao Ning really does that, she will not blame him or blame him, she is even ready to use all her tenderness to tactfully accept joy and melt this little boy who may not be in the world, because she feels that only then can she grasp the hope of her life and grasp the meager light that appears in her tragic fate.
But Zhao Ning didn't appear in front of her that night, and even a few days passed, and Zhao Ning didn't appear in front of her once. I heard Siyun say that this one didn't come back because he was still busy in the county.
As the days passed, her heart became more and more restless, and she longed to see the little boy, and she could not guess what he was thinking. Wasn't he interested in the spoils of the two thousand taels of gold that he gambled back? Could it be that he just wants to be in the limelight, just to compete with Yang Fangyu? Or just want to sell Yang Fangyu a favor?
How exactly did he plan to place himself?
Since coming to Zhuangshang, everyone has respected her very much, and the people around Zhao Ning, Siyun and Tingzhi, have also treated him very well. Both of them are as old as Su Xiaowan, and they both get along very well, and from the two of them, Su Xiaowan has also heard a lot about Zhao Ning.
He doesn't have a smug aura on his body, he treats everyone very kindly, and he will pull the two of them to tell strange ghost stories in the middle of the night.
The ghost coffin of the Yellow River, the corpse of a woman in the deep mountains and all kinds of strange things, what he told was scary, and he didn't know where he heard those terrible stories.
Su Xiaowan could imagine the charm of the moment when the nonsense was repeated, and a few girls would inevitably make fun of and make fun of it when they said this.
Yesterday, Zhao Ning finally came back, but as soon as he came back, he went into the study and never came out, even dinner was used in the study, and he didn't know if he really had so many things to do, or if he was deliberately avoiding her. Although he didn't seem to have any reason to avoid her.
Su Xiaowan thought about it all night, and even she didn't know why this happened. She didn't care about big things before, but now she was worried because she hadn't seen the little young master for a few days.
Before dawn, even Siyun, who used to get up early, hadn't opened her eyes, so she couldn't sleep peacefully, so she ran to the small kitchen, carefully prepared several snacks, and prepared to turn around and let Siyun send them to him.
But at this moment, Zhao Ning suddenly appeared in front of her unexpectedly, which shocked her.
Su Xiaowan was stunned on the spot, and Zhao Ning had the heart to turn around and run away, because he was really not ready, and he didn't expect to be in such a scene for this woman who had haunted him in his past and present lives.
Zhao Ning knew that he couldn't and shouldn't run away, and since he had bumped into it, he could only muster up the courage to face it.
Just when he finally mustered up the courage to step forward to say hello, Su Xiaowan spoke first.
"Is Childe avoiding Xiaowan?" She stared at Zhao Ning with a pair of eyes sparkling.
"No, ah, ah, yes." Zhao Ning wanted to deny it, but being watched by Su Xiaowan, he still couldn't lie.
"Does that boy dislike Xiaowan?"
"Huh? What the? Of course not! How could I ......" has never been afraid, but Zhao Ning, who has always been in the hands of Zhizhu, is in a mess at the moment.
"The day before yesterday, Childe said that Xiaowan 'should return to Ning', is it true? Can this quiet and beautiful manor really become Xiaowan's safe place? Su Xiaowan's rumored-like straightforwardness seemed to be exactly what she would be, but it was still beyond Zhao Ning's expectations.
In a few words, Su Xiaowan was generalized, and he had to be frank.
"Miss Xiaowan is beautiful and talented, and there is no man in the world who can not be moved when she sees it, and she is no exception. It's just that Zhao Ning is not only afraid of the abrupt beauty, but also afraid that he is taking advantage of the danger of others, and he is even more afraid of making the girl unhappy......"
Looking at the eager demeanor of the little boy in front of her, Su Xiaowan's heart calmed down. Zhao Ning said that she was afraid, but in fact, Su Xiaowan was really afraid, she liked this quiet manor so much, and she was so eager that this place would become her home, for a few days, what she was worried about every day was that this place could not become her home. At this moment, I heard Zhao Ning say a few words of fear, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Childe no longer has to say a word of fear, and now on, Xiaowan, this leaf duckweed, is the fresh Yan of the Zhao family in life, and death is the soul of the Zhao family. I also hope that the son can never forget Xiaowan, whether Xiaowan is a concubine or a maid, as long as she can serve by the child's side, she will be satisfied. Su Xiaowan said and stretched out her slender jade hand and put it on Zhao Ning's lips, not letting Zhao Ning say that he was afraid of this and that, a delicate face faced Zhao Ning, and said eloquently, exhaling like an orchid, a pair of clear eyes, which seemed to take away Zhao Ning's soul.
Feeling the temperature on his lips and the fragrant fragrance like Nalan musk, Zhao Ning was fascinated.
"Huh? Yes! The real Siyun appeared at the door of the small kitchen, and her sleepy eyes, which were originally worried, suddenly widened the boss. To my surprise, it was a sour taste.
