Chapter 91: Supplication
"Can Aster always be a maid by the side of the eldest young master?" She wanted to be by Ning Yuan's side all the time, just like now, there were only two people and no one.
"No, you are not from Ningfu, and you are destined to leave Ningfu in a year." Ning Yuan avoided Aster's gaze.
He quietly observed Aster, and found that the little girl actually showed a very hurt expression, and her heartstrings were slightly plucked, saying that the child's mind is very simple, and she is so sad now, probably really sad.
In the past year, General Gu Xiao has practiced martial arts hard, firstly because he is not convinced, and secondly, he wants to bring Aster back to his side.
A year passed in a blink of an eye, and early in the morning, General Gu Xiao couldn't wait to ride a horse to Ningfu, let the little guy knock on the door, and strode in.
"Tell your young master to come out, just say I'm here, and let him not be a turtle with a shrunken head."
"What a big breath, when you come to the Ning family's territory, you dare to make a big statement." Ning Yuan came when he heard this, he had already guessed that he would definitely come early according to the character of taking care of the little general, but he didn't expect it to be so early, it would be at this time, it was still a little unexpected.
"It's finally here, let's go, let's go to the martial arts competition, see who is more powerful this year, and whoever wins will get aster." General Gu Xiao hurriedly walked out.
Ning Yuan was not polite, and immediately followed.
An hour later, Ning Yuan changed his clothes and returned to the courtyard refreshingly, opened the door of Aster's room, and saw the little girl kicking the quilt aside as usual, he hurriedly stepped forward and covered the quilt.
"I'm afraid it's not going to be a cold wind, what time is it, and I'm not so careful when I sleep." A few months ago, the two of them slept separately, and she slept in the next room, because he accidentally saw her when she was taking a bath, and realized that she was a girl after all, and men and women could not kiss, so it was naturally better to separate.
Aster felt someone come in, and she immediately woke up.
"Less...... The young master ......" Zi Wan came back to her senses, only to find that the person who came to her room was Ning Yuan, so she was relieved.
The fear just now and the slow calm later were seen by Ning Yuan, he didn't expect that a small child would have so many emotional changes.
I didn't understand a little in my heart, I didn't understand why Aster's defensiveness was so heavy, he would always pay attention to her during this time, and he would help her cover it when he saw her kick off the quilt, and he hadn't found this situation before.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Ning Yuan threw aside the thoughts in his heart and showed a gentle smile to Aster.
This smile made Aster's heart slowly relax, and she smiled towards Ning Yuan.
"Of course the young master is not a bad person, the young master is the best person in the world for slaves and maids." Aster said happily.
Ning Yuan didn't say anything, but asked Zi Wan to have breakfast, and he turned around and left the room.
Zi Wan calculated the time on the way to breakfast, and was surprised to realize that today was the day of the martial arts competition, and she immediately panicked in her heart, she knew that General Gu Xiao was powerful, and that martial arts was very famous, when she married into the Gu Mansion, the most powerful person in Wu Liucheng's martial arts was already General Gu Xiao.
Even if it's not good now, it's still very powerful, and I don't know if the eldest young master can win against General Gu Xiao.
Aster had been absent-minded all the time when she was eating, but Ning Yuan saw it in her eyes, her eyes were clear, but she couldn't see what she was thinking.
"Young Master...... Today...... "Aster slurred and didn't know how to speak."
"What's wrong today?" Ning Yuan only pretended to be stupid and didn't know, and asked Aster in turn.
Aster glanced at Ning Yuan, thinking that such an important day for her, it probably wouldn't be a big deal for him, but it was just a little girl, and she could find it again after she was gone.
"Nothing." Aster shook her head, but she didn't want to say anything.
Ning Yuan smiled and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a slave walk in from outside.
"Young Master, there is a girl outside the door, who claims to be a friend of Aster, called Pear Blossom, do you want to invite you into the house?" The servant asked.
"Did Sister Rika come to see me?" Aster said excitedly, she looked at Ning Yuan busily, her eyes full of pleading.
At this moment, Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly, "Call someone in." After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up, and left the place where he was eating.
Aster was puzzled, and when Pear Blossom came, she chatted with Pear Blossom, only to realize that Ning Yuan was helping her make room for a chat just now.
"Sister Lihua, you have lost a lot of weight, have you been wronged?" As soon as Aster saw Pear Blossom, she said that she had lost weight. I probably haven't seen it for a long time, but this physical change is more real.
"It's probably because you're fat, you're chubby, but you think I'm thin, but in fact, I'm still the same as before, and nothing has changed." Rika said with a smile, if you look closely, she really doesn't seem to have changed from before, even her voice and smile are exactly the same.
Seeing that the people she cared about were doing well, Aster was also very happy, and couldn't help but open the conversation.
"Then why did Sister Pear Blossom come? Of course I'm very happy that you can come and see me, but did the eldest young master call you? Aster was very frightened, especially on this day, she felt even more worried.
"Why do you think that?" Rika was a little surprised.
"Today is the day when I should review the mansion, I think the eldest young master is embarrassed to say it to me in person, so he found someone close to me to take me away, is this the reason?" Aster said with some sadness: "But if Sister Pear Blossom takes me back, my heart will indeed feel a lot better, because I have always liked Sister Pear Blossom." Aster's smile was sweet, and she probably really thought so in her heart, only in front of this person can she show her innocent side.
These words made Rika's expression slightly stunned, and then sighed.
"No, the little general asked me to come, and he said he wanted to see you." Rika said lightly.
"Huh? What does this mean? "Aster is puzzled, if this little general wants to see her, he can come here to see her, why should someone inform her.
"Probably not convinced, I was angry when I went back to the house in the morning, I also missed you, if you can go back, it will be good, but seeing that you are doing so well in Ningfu, how can I be willing to call you back." Pear Blossom's expression fell lonely, "I had a younger sister in the early years, who died at a young age, just because she broke a piece of jewelry from the eldest lady, she was kicked to death, this is the reason why the people in the house are a little different from me, they owe me, and I owe it in my heart, it's not that I have any status in the house, and now I want you to go back to the Gu Mansion, I don't want to." ”
"Sister Pear Blossom......" Aster looked at Pear Blossom affectionately, she heard Pear Blossom's heart for her, only someone who cares about her can say this kind of heart-wrenching words.
"Sister Ziyun, if you can, you can stay in Ning Mansion, the water in Gu Mansion is too deep, although the little young master is not bad-hearted, but he is not the person in charge, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that you will live well, as long as you live, it will be the same everywhere, even if you can't see you, sister, I feel that my heart is down-to-earth." Pear Blossom touched Aster's hand, and her words were sincere.
Aster's tears fell, and she cried with Pear Blossom.
Since then, Aster has known that this year's contest General Gu Xiao has lost again, so she sent Sister Pear Blossom away, and she picked up some insignificant gadgets given by Ning Yuan in the Ning Mansion to Pear Blossom, which is enough for Pear Blossom to live for a year.
When he returned to the courtyard, his eyes were still red, and he went to the study to polish Ning Yuan's ink, and he was looked at.
"Why did you cry like a bunny?" Ning Yuan took the object in his hand by himself, slowly grinding the ink, his eyes looked at the aster on the side, and he only felt that this little girl could even cry so good-looking, but he was reluctant to let her cry, this cry made people's hearts break.
"Why didn't the eldest young master talk about winning the competition, the slave thought he was going to be sent away today." Aster asked rhetorically, not answering the question Ning Yuan asked just now.
But what's the big deal, he spoils her, so he naturally doesn't care about this.
"You little girl...... I can still stay for a while, but if I grow up and become a slim beauty, it will be a little difficult. Ning Yuan thought about it and said.
"Why?" Aster looked at Ning Yuan with red eyes, really like a little rabbit.
"Then I'll hide you well and keep it from others, why not?" Ning Yuan smiled after speaking, as if he had thought of the matter of the Golden House, but this Run Courtyard was not a Golden House, but she was a touch of enchantment.
It is said that at the age of seven, the aster has now begun to show its beauty, if it is in the future, it will naturally become a beauty in the city, since ancient times, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, there is probably some truth in it.
Aster couldn't understand what Ning Yuan was saying, she looked at him stupidly, and only felt that his ink grinding action was so charming, that people couldn't help but yearn for it.
In the past, she secretly liked him, even if she couldn't see him, she felt happy to just stay in Ning Mansion.
Now that I can get along with him day and night, this is no regrets in life.
In the second year and the third year, it has been like this, spring to autumn, over and over again, and the days have been until Aster is fifteen years old, this year the little young master of Ning Mansion returned to the house, Aster Wan hid in the room alone and shivered under the quilt, the people in the front yard were very welcome, and even Ning Yuan, who had never liked to go out, accompanied the guests to drink some wine.
The entire Ning Mansion was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and only the Run courtyard was deserted.
When it was time to go to bed, Aster heard movement outside and knew that Ning Yuan was back, but she didn't go out to greet her, but just hid in the room and watched quietly.
As expected, the person who sent it back was really the little master.
