Evetrona's old stories

"Okay, stop scolding her all the time." As a last resort, Eve had to plead for Minxi.
"Yes, yes, the more you scold, the more stupid you become." Minxi buried her face behind Eve's back, and echoed.
Nanfen finally laughed angrily at her daughter's words, and couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch her leg. Minxi screamed for pain, and even scratched around Eve's waist, so Eve also screamed, There was a sudden chaos in the carriage.
Mao Qi also half-jokingly said before that these two are born mother and daughter, Nan Fen and Min Xi's personalities are very similar when they were young, that's why she is so angry when she sees Min Xi's appearance now.
At this time, Eve also suddenly understood why Nanfen still wanted a child.For a traditional woman like her, her husband is the pillar of the family, and when her husband is away, she has to rely on her son; in such a grand mansion, only when there are many people can it not appear empty, but it is a pity that Minxi is still young, Luge is far from planning to start a family, and he himself, let alone hope.In short, Nanfen's wish to be a grandmother has not been realized for a long time, and she might as well do it herself if she pins her hopes on others.
Boyun Manor is still the same, the tree in the backyard has been sawed down, the one that Ruger walked around a year ago, it is said that it is because of the pest infestation in summer; some new furniture has been added in the hall, and the fireplace has been rebuilt After building it, it looks much neater than before; in addition, there is an extra player piano in the room on the first floor, which can play many complicated pieces that cannot be played by one person. She danced ballroom dancing with Eve, but because the floor was too slippery, Minxi accidentally slipped and fell, and shoveled her to the ground by the way.
Minxi went abroad for a trip, and she hasn't seen her for two years, but after returning, she seems to be more clingy, and she is always inseparable from Eve on weekdays, even when she goes out, she never asks where she is going and always follows her.She brought Eve a lot of gifts from Hartan, most of which were dresses, shoes and socks, and even some bold underwear. For this, Eve could only accept them as they were ordered. If Nanfen found out that she had bought these things, she would definitely have to clean them up.In addition, Minxi also copied a lot of local dim sum recipes, and it was rare for Nanfen to praise her a lot, but this kind of behavior brought Eve, Luge and Minxi herself into trouble. Since there were always endless dim sum at home, Nanfen assigned them targets: either they could send these dim sum out, or they could digest it themselves—but the key was that the quality of these dim sum was uneven, and it was not something that could be given away.
The noisy days have been going on in the manor. It is really interesting to have such a girl who dares to think and make trouble at home.
[78] The Knaka couple (Part [-])
Comino Knaka had three sons and two daughters.
The eldest son and second daughter were born to the first wife in the early years, and Xilinya is the fourth eldest in the family.
Comino had two wives, both of whom were beautiful.The former one was a rich lady, who had taken a fancy to Comino when she was a poor boy, and sneaked out of the Eastern City behind her back to marry him in a hurry. They were only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time.Comino gradually prospered on the money she brought from home.
Comino once said to Eve before that the person he was most sorry for in his life was his first wife.He still remembers her appearance - an oval face, a mole on her chin, wavy long chestnut hair, not tall, a pair of small hands that are smooth and plump, and her eyes are always shining.Comino looks like his father, with big arms and a round waist, and his neck has been thicker than others since he was a child. Some people say that he has a good look, but in fact he is.If he is a poor boy like before, he can still restrain himself, because his heart is always full of strong desire for money, and he can't tolerate anything else, but when he has money, he will start to become dissolute, and start Go around and have fun.Because the wife trusted her husband so much that the incident was revealed, and when the incident reached an irreversible point, she was hit hard and fell ill immediately.Women in the old feudal society often suffered from a disease called hysteria, with various symptoms, such as forgetfulness, trance, frequent fainting, ghost crying...almost any abnormal behavior can be summarized as one of its symptoms , and this situation was mostly due to the class oppression and dark living environment that women suffered at that time.After the incident was revealed, Comino's first wife was diagnosed with a similar disease. She gradually became unable to speak, her hair became haggard, her skin became dull, and her life was disappearing day by day. There is no way.After his mother died, the eldest son Iminoen also fell out with his father. He "reported" his father's crimes to the public security station, saying that he poisoned his mother.Although Iminoen was only 14 years old at the time, the procuratorate did not take this matter lightly. Komino was immediately arrested and locked up for more than a week. Later, he was not prosecuted because of insufficient evidence. Let it go.I don't know if it was because of guilt for his dead wife and children, or for other reasons, Comino was not angry at his son's impulsive and arbitrary behavior, but correspondingly, he did not get his son's gratitude.Iminoun had been taken care of by his mother until he was ten years old, and grew up like a farm boy. It wasn't until Comino's business improved that they moved from one place to another, and gradually separated. life of the poor.Komino was always busy at that time, and Iminoen felt that his father had not fulfilled his duties as a father and husband, especially when he was older and could understand what the neighbors were saying. Malicious gossip or gossip, the seed of hatred in his heart began to take root and sprout; and until his mother died for no reason, this kind of resentment towards his father reached its peak.Lientaya—the second sister of Xilinya—was only 11 years old at the time, and she was three years younger than Iminoen. She wanted to persuade the two to reconcile, but this was not something an immature child could do. arrived.
Two years after the death of his first wife, Komino married his second wife—Iluron Yelendo, a tall and beautiful blonde woman. At that time, Komino was most obsessed with her body The intellectual and elegant temperament that is rare among all living beings.Yilulun was just 20 years old when she married, a full 12 years younger than Comino.She has a grandfather named Wester Panwin who served as an elder in the Eastern Court of the Logos Court (that is, the Senate); and a cousin who is a junior official, Smirn Panwin—that is, Eve The young man I met at Noose's door when I attended a symposium last fall.In the year Comino and Irulon married, they had a son, named Ston; the next year they had a daughter, named Syrinya; For Ole Dern.Ilulun is a strong and magnanimous woman. She comes from a scholarly family and is quite knowledgeable. Since she married, Comino's behavior has changed visible to the naked eye. Transformed into a calm and introverted successful businessman.Relying on his wife's sensitivity to politics and current events, his business has become not only for making money, but his vision has become long-term, and he can follow the trend. He gradually won the trust of the Logos Institute and made friends with Many official friends.Ilulun has a close relationship with Nanfen. Through his wife, Comino also had the honor to know Maoqi, a well-known celebrity in the Republic. He was 38 years old at the time and Maoqi was 35 years old.Today, Comino's business is spread all over the world - schools and hospitals, canals and railways, private banks, steel and coal... He is everywhere where he can make money, but even so, he still likes to call himself a spice merchant, which Just because he did do this in his early years.
In the first few years, under the patient persuasion of Eluren, the eldest son Iminon miraculously had a tendency to reconcile with his father—for Iminonen, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, he was in his early twenties The Eluren is not like a stepmother, more like a sister, he is willing to listen to everything she has to say.But the good times didn't last long.The character of the son is more or less like his father. Iminon was just a young boy, and Eluren was still pregnant with Syrinya at the time, but even with a big belly, Iminon still found her very charming.It wasn't until one day that he dreamed of Eluren in his dream, and dreamed that he was doing that kind of thing with his stepmother, that he really realized what his attachment to Eluren really meant.When he woke up from the dream, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed, and began to slap his face until his cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.
Thinking day by day and dreaming at night, rationality falls asleep together with consciousness, who can stop the suppressed desire in the dream from irrigating his never-satisfied heart?Even knowing that it was just an unconscious act, he was still ashamed and blamed himself for having such dirty thoughts. He felt that he must be sick, hysterical like his miserable mother.
Since then, Iminon has gradually alienated Elulon, and at the same time, the resentment towards her father in her heart has also transformed into an unspeakable but deeper hatred.And when Eve came to Klikin, the conflict between the father and son became more and more intensified, until it suddenly broke out one day three years ago.
Ever since he was sent to prison once by his surly son, Comino has had the habit of changing his will from time to time—or rather, renewing it.When making the will, only he himself and two respected notaries will be present, and there will be no fourth person.One day, Iminoen saw the notary visiting and guessed the purpose of their trip, so he decided to wait for the opportunity to eavesdrop.Comino attaches great importance to this matter, so he always does it very secretly, usually in a study on the third floor of the main house, which is usually locked and only he has the key.But he didn't expect that in order to eavesdrop, Iminoen actually climbed into the open window from the top of the building and hid in the study first, without anyone noticing.The will must be in writing, but from the conversation between the notary and his father, Iminoen still heard some unusual content. Among the beneficiaries of the will, he heard an unfamiliar name——Eve Harvey because.
Iminon was very sensitive about his father's private life, and subconsciously, he didn't want to see his father betray Eluren.He had a lot of speculation about the identity of the bequeathee, whom he had never met.Considering that Comino and Eluren had three children within five years, it was hard for Iminoen to believe that his father would not leave an illegitimate child outside during all these years of promiscuity, so he had to suspect that the woman named Eve was the old man's illegitimate daughter.Emionon secretly investigated this Eve Harvein, but after learning about her age, Emionon became confused—Eve was the same age as Stone, and Stone was Elulon's first child.Iminoen felt that it was impossible for Komino to have such energy and courage to betray his newly married wife in the first year of marriage, so he denied his initial opinion.Therefore, the identity of this person points to another possibility, that is, his lover.After seeing Eve's appearance from a distance, Iminoen confirmed his guess even more.He didn't question Eve face to face, because he felt that the woman might also be a victim. According to the investigation, this person has a good family background and is unlikely to covet Comino's money.
The sad thing about Iminon is that he has always held such a great prejudice against his father that his way of thinking has become too limited to allow other possibilities.During a family dinner, relying on the fact that he had the old man's handle, he began to criticize Sanghuai and talk about family responsibilities. He intended to test and warn, but unexpectedly angered Comino.The two quarreled at the dinner table, and facing Komino's scolding, Iminoen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and in front of all his family members, he revealed the secrets that had been kept in his heart and what Komino saw as his own. Almost unreasonable and malicious speculations came out together.That night, in the face of Iminoen's accusation, Komino's expression was very exciting. Since he was caught off guard by the incident, he was unable to make a strong rebuttal immediately; In contrast, Iminon's eloquent words were more convincing, which made his brothers and sisters and Eluren a little hard to accept, and while shocked, they also fell into suspicion and worry.The dinner that day ended in silence, and the next day, Eluren left the mansion with her three and a half children, and went to live with her parents temporarily.
It's not that Eluren lacks trust in her husband, it's just that Comino has a precedent, and even after marriage, her promiscuous behavior has not been completely eliminated, so she had to respond cautiously to this matter in advance.This is a kind of protection for the children, and it is also a silent protest against the husband's past indiscretions.Although Iminon was a righteous and kind man, he had always been a bit nervous when it came to matters related to Comino, so Erlen only believed half of it, the part of the will.She has seen Eve too—it is the precious daughter Nanfen often talks about. Although she is young, she is sensible and intelligent. She will never have anything to do with Comino, which Iluron is sure of.
Originally, she wanted to stay at her natal home for a few more days, but when she arrived in the morning, Comino followed her at noon, and had the cheek to have lunch with her parents, making Eluren dumbfounded.Comino begged Eluren for forgiveness in front of her parents-in-law, and her attitude was extremely low, which not only surprised Eluren, but even her parents had to come forward to help her, and say a few good words for her son-in-law who is usually in the business world.Comino said that he did not do a good enough job on the issue of the will, and he would discuss it with her in the future. As for what Iminoen said, he also advised her not to believe it.Although Yi Lulun still had some resentment towards her husband, she still didn't act too forcefully in this matter and put her self-respect on it. She immediately said that she would not pursue this matter in the future, but in the end she stayed at her mother's house for a few days before going back.
This incident is not without its effect on the relationship between husband and wife, especially when the husband is far less honest than his son, and the father and son are at odds with each other.Although the emotional rift is subtle, it does exist, and Eluren sometimes thinks: Is it true that Comino's first wife was poisoned and killed by him as Iminon said?If he finds another new love, will he end up like this?When he got acquainted with himself back then, was the calmness and calmness he favored also part of his business plan?
Eluren tries to keep her thoughts out of the way, but negative thoughts are contagious — from Kominor's first wife to Iminon, now to Eluren, and then to her daughter Xilinya.As Eluren's only daughter, Xilinya could feel her mother's deep-seated worries.
A series of recent incidents had a great impact on Xilinya—her gentle and kind elder brother suddenly said that her stern father was not as upright as he seemed. She was the same generation as Eve whom her father used as a role model and whom she often mentioned. Such a "fact" disgusted and disgusted her.Even after her mother explained the whole story to her, she still had a hard time about it.The elder brother Iminoen was kicked out of the house by his father, and the father and son broke up completely; the second sister Lien Taya was sad because of this, and she didn't smile for many days; the mother was no longer as energetic as before, and she also had a migraine As for my father, my father's discipline became more severe, and even began to be unreasonable, as if emphasizing the prestige and domineering of the head of the family.
Xilinya’s dislike for Eve started from her natural hostility towards outstanding peers during the rebellious period, and a few years later, all the changes in the family were enough to turn her hazy dislike for Eve into a well-founded hatred. Before she really came into contact with Eve, she was sure that her revenge would be well-known.
People will always be driven by impulse and desire, to do things they should have handled carefully when they are most irrational, and finally make things worse and worse.Iminoun, who has been insecure for life because of the loss of his mother, Lientaya, who has seen father and son killing each other but cannot stop it, Stoun, Silinya, and Oleden, who are deeply involved in conflicts in their original families, and Komino, who is too busy between family and career—a family that seems to have a simple structure, but there are still some complicated conflicts caused by money or feelings.In the Knaka family, perhaps the real pillar of the family is not the business tycoon Comino, but Elulon, who gave silently.Only she truly comprehended the essence of life. She wrapped the sharp edges and corners of the family members with her softness so that they would not hurt each other.She knows that the real way to solve the problem is not confrontation, but unconditional tolerance.Family members must put themselves in the other's place to seek happiness for each other, so that everyone can be happy-but for this, she must also bear the pressure that others cannot see.
[79] between sisters
This afternoon, the sky began to snowflakes, but it was not too cold outside, and the snow disappeared as soon as it hit the ground.
Although Minxi will have her 17th birthday in two months, she still looks like a child in terms of personality. As before, she always seems to be particularly keen on things related to "adventures".
After Minxi's hard work, Nanfen finally gave her the key to the warehouse.The little girl happily hugged Eve and pushed her out the door, all the way to the basement warehouse near the villa, where she was going to hunt for treasure.
Mochi piled up a lot of things in the warehouse.Those things that are broken, only used a few times, or things that are not needed, he will temporarily put them here-wasting is a bad behavior, but if you put things rotten, they will all become garbage before throwing them away , which is another property.Before things are completely broken, people believe that they will come in handy one day, but when these things are thrown into the warehouse, they are locked into the warehouse door together with the memory of the existence of the item, and they will never think about it again. Woke up.
At this time, the two girls were wearing old clothes and aprons, kerchiefs on their heads, and veils on their faces, and stepped into the cobweb and dusty basement.Eve hung two lanterns on the nail heads of the central pillars, barely illuminating the entire underground warehouse.A few small black shadows were scurrying around the corner, Minxi put down the bucket in her hand, and hurriedly searched with a copy net, but found nothing.Eve raised the long broom in her hand above her head, and swept away the cobwebs and gray webs around her.Seeing a few blind spiders and gnats fall from the cracks in the bricks above her head to the ground, and crawl quickly past her feet, Eve suddenly got goosebumps all over her body, and almost threw the broom in her hand on the ground.Minxi got the keys in the name of cleaning the warehouse—they couldn’t do such dirty work anyway—Nanfen knew what her daughter was up to, so she reluctantly agreed.
"There are a lot of mice here." Minxi's voice was particularly loud in the basement, "I really should bring those lazy cats at home to help."
"If you bring them here, you can throw them away after you go back." Eve said while cleaning, "It's too dirty here, full of bugs and dust."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that this place would be so dirty." Minxi held a wooden stick in her hand and slapped a pile of debris in front of her.
"If Moki is at home, there is still ventilation here..."
Just as he was talking, a mouse quickly jumped out of the pile of debris and rushed towards Eve. Eve stepped on it without thinking too much.The solid heel stomped the mouse flat, and the soft feedback came from the foot, which made Eve feel both disgusted and refreshing. This killing behavior seemed to be different from the feeling when hunting — not for loot, but just for destruction.
"It's disgusting..." Minxi frowned, picked up the trampled mouse with a wooden stick and threw it into the bucket half filled with water.
"There's nothing interesting here, you have to come here." Eve opened the box casually, and closed the lid again after seeing the rusty farm tools piled inside.
"I actually came here to look for the same thing." Minxi said.
"What are you looking for?"
"I can't tell now, until I find it."
"It's kind of mysterious..."
The warehouse has a lot of space. After clearing out a clean area, Eve spread a clean tarpaulin on the ground as a temporary place to store things.
Old things retain people's memories, reminding people of the trivial past that has long been forgotten. The daily life that used to seem ordinary seems to permeate with the aroma of fermented wine, making people immersed in it for a while.
"Sister, do you remember this?" Minxi lifted a dusty object and shook it in his hand, "The ball we played with before..." The ball was slapped on the ground like a piece of mud, without any trace. elasticity.
"Is that the one you've been throwing at me?" Eve teased.
"Haha, that's it!"
Eve pulled out a small rusty sword from a bundle of ironware, and weighed it in her hand.Back then Minxi also wanted to learn swordsmanship, but she gave up after a few days of learning. After all, systematic training is not as interesting as swinging around.
"Sister, come and help—" Minxi squatted among the piles of sundries, and waved towards Eve.The two worked together to drag a box out, which took a lot of effort.
"What's this?" Eve asked.
"It's an old book." Minxi opened the lid of the box, and a smell of camphor came over her face. There were many yellowed books in the box. In this era, books are quite valuable.
The two brought out the books one by one, sat on the spread tarpaulin, and flipped through the old books by the dim light.These books include picture albums, novels, joke collections, and notes, and some books contain scattered old papers.These books are all books that Minxi liked before, and now seeing these things again, she couldn't put them down, so she picked up a few books at random and began to flip through them.Eve also picked up a Kriging literacy handbook, and looking at the phrases with phonetic symbols on it, she also recalled the scene when she first came to Kriging - at that time, in order to understand other people's speech without relying on props , she was desperately trying to learn Kriging.The pages of this handbook are densely marked with Latin alphabet pinyin and Chinese annotations. Seeing these familiar and unfamiliar symbols at this time, she is also full of emotion in her heart.Eve looked at these words page by page, and recited them in her heart carefully, as if to make sure that she hadn't forgotten how to read and write these words.She is not a nostalgic person, but at this moment, she can't help but miss the past. If it weren't for these things, she would almost forget what her life was like in the past.Minxi held a collection of jokes and laughed while reading them. After that, she picked out a few books from the stack and put them aside, intending to take them back and review them again.Eve had nothing to do, so she just sat there and read a book, while Minxi continued to rummage in the warehouse.After a while, she moved another thing, which was a long wooden box nearly two meters long. She opened the wooden box, and inside was a roll of colorful things.
"Is this what you're looking for today?" Eve asked.
"That's right, it was a gift from my uncle before. My mother always felt that it was not safe for children to play with kites, so she put it away and said that I would return it to me when I grew up. However, it has been six or seven years now, but she herself forgot about it."
"It's been here for so long, can it still fly?" Eve touched the fabric inside. It seemed to be made of a kind of artificial fiber-like umbrella cloth, and there was no damage.
"Let's try it another day." Minxi put the box on the tarpaulin as well.
The two of them rummaged through the pile of debris for a while, and found some strange little objects, which were all placed on the tarpaulin.There are also things that Eve is interested in, such as a set of iron racks and small iron stoves, which seem to be used for pots or barbecues; there is also a box of tinplate canned beef, which is more than ten years old. can not eat.These scattered tools aroused her interest in camping for a while, maybe it's time to find a time for winter camping.
Minxi caught a few big rats and threw them into the bucket. The rats flopped on the water, crawling around the edge of the bucket, and their tiny claws kept pawing at the metal, making rustling noises.If they are left alone, these mice may not die for a while. Eve felt that the sound was disturbing, so she used a wooden stick to press the mice into the water one by one. With screams, these small animals finally died.
Minxi dragged out another object from inside, and the clanging sound caught Eve's attention. Seeing that the girl was struggling to hold it, she also went to help, only to find out that she was holding a pair of saddles in her hand.
"This is... a double saddle?" Eve looked at the shape of the saddle, feeling a little uncertain.
"It must be, otherwise whose butt would grow so big?" Minxi handed the saddle to Eve, and then picked up the other kits from the box one by one, "This one can be used, so we will take it away."
The warehouse was turned into a mess at this time, but the two of them were a little tired from playing, so they didn't plan to clean it up.They locked the door, moved all the things they had taken away to the small wheelbarrow at the door, and transported them back to the villa all at once.The sky was getting dark, and the snow had spread a thin layer on the ground, even at this time it was still falling steadily.Minxi continued to be playful when pushing the cart, twisting and turning the wheels to make large and small arcs on the ground, Eve followed her, and the two walked for nearly half an hour for the original 5-minute journey.
As soon as she got home, Minxi took the kite and showed it to Nanfen, as if she wanted to criticize her mother, but Nanfen just smiled helplessly, pushed Minxi out of the door, and forced her to take off her dirty apron .
"This thing..." Nanfen was surprised when she saw the double saddle, "Why did you turn all this thing out?"
"I saw it, so I took it out." Minxi blinked and looked at her mother.
Nan Fen's expression was a little unnatural, like she was smiling, but also seemed embarrassed.
Eve looked at the saddle and asked, "Did you and Maoqi..."
"Okay, you two." Nanfen interrupted Eve, seeing her expression, it seemed that the past was unbearable.She pointed at the two of them and said, "You two, go take a shower, it's too dirty..."
The two were driven into the bathroom by Nanfen. The room was warm and hot water had already been placed in the big bathtub.
Eve was still standing at the door in a daze, but Minxi had already helped her unbuckle her clothes and pushed her into the bathroom.
"It's been a while since we saw each other, why are you still shy?" Minxi joked as she undressed her.
The two took off their clothes, tied their hair, and sat side by side in the bathtub. The water temperature was not too hot, but Minxi yelled for a while before sitting down safely.
In this world, it seems that Eve can only accept "being honest" with Minxi like this.She strongly refused to take a bath with Nanfen back then, but she had to take care of the young Minxi and wipe her body while taking a bath.But in recent years, Minxi has developed rapidly, which makes Eve no longer treat her as a child like before.
"Don't worry, you are so beautiful, you will definitely grow up in the future." Seeing Eve staring at her chest in a daze, Minxi comforted her softly.
Eve turned her head slowly, pretending not to hear the words.
Sometimes, Eve also feels confused about her future.Nowadays, her impulse towards women seems to be no longer as strong as before due to biological factors, but at the same time, she doesn't intend to like men. In terms of sex, she now feels a little desireless.
People's needs for affection are much more complicated than those of ordinary animals. Maybe one day, there will be a person who can satisfy her.
A dripping red apple approached Eve. She took the apple and easily broke it in half.
"I want the non-nuclear half." Minxi naturally took the smaller one.
Since the two met, the same scene has been repeated countless times. They have a tacit understanding like a pair of sisters, and there are many interactions that only they know about; there have been several disputes between them, but such disputes can only It is a kind of adjustment, an opportunity for them to understand each other better. The conflict will not break the relationship between them, but will only make them closer after reconciliation.
Wrapping the bathrobe tightly around her body, Eve also felt sleepy. After a hasty dinner, she planned to go back to the house to rest.But after returning to the room, she found that her bed had been occupied.
"It's too cold today, it's better for the two of us to sleep comfortably." Minxi was wrapped in a quilt at this time, with only two eyes exposed.
The snow outside the window is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that it will not stop for a while.Eve closed the door, turned off the lights, and squeezed sideways into the bed.There seems to be a hot water bottle under the feet, which is very warm and comfortable.Minxi always liked to sleep on the inside of the bed, and it is the same now.
There were no curtains in the room, and it was usually very bright on snowy nights. The two of them clasped their hands tightly under the quilt, staring at the falling snow outside the window in a daze.
"Minxi, don't you think...the bed is almost too crowded." In the quiet room, Eve suddenly said this.
"Then move my bed here too." Minxi said, "That's what I did in school, it's interesting..."
Taking this opportunity, Minxi talked about those interesting things she encountered in school again, and couldn't stop once she opened her mouth.Eve listened, and finally couldn't hold on any longer, and fell asleep with her head tilted.Even in her sleep, the girl's repeated succession words were still lingering in her ears: "Then...then...then...and finally..."
[80] The Knaka couple (Part [-])
When the sky was slightly bright, Eve woke up.She used to be considered a night owl, but now after coming here, she can go to bed early and get up early every day—it can't be helped, there are really not many entertainment items available after dark.
Eve got off the bed lightly and got dressed.
Afraid of waking Minxi who was still sleeping soundly, she didn't add fire to the fireplace, but went downstairs to refill the hot water bottle with hot water, stuffed it back into the bed, and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt.
Putting on her coat and boots, Eve went out with a water bottle.The snow has stopped, and the yard and the roof are covered with thick snow at this time.The sun has not yet risen, and there is not a single cloud in the sky. The clear and deep lake blue is all over the top of the head. With the boundless whiteness under the feet, it seems that people live above the clouds.
There was movement at the side door. The maid came out of the room with a snow shovel. She greeted Eve and started her work today.Probably because she was afraid of waking up the hostess, her movements were very light, and the progress of snow removal was very slow.Nanfen usually gets up very late, basically until eight or nine o'clock, especially in winter when it is cold.In this, Min-hee is indeed very similar to her.Eve was very thankful that Nanfen got up late, she was so capable that even the servants would be ashamed of herself.
After training in the backyard for a while, Eve became a little impatient, not because of the weather, but because the date that Comino invited her to visit was today.She put the training sword aside, and started wandering aimlessly in the backyard, stepping on the snow with footprints all over; then she started kicking the trees, shaking the snow off every tree, and she was having fun for a while.
After exercising for a long time, her body began to sweat. Seeing that the time was almost up, Eve planned to go back.Looking at the messy backyard, she was actually a little bit proud.
Eve wanted to go back from the front yard, but found that the back door was open, and the blond woman was standing at the door, looking at her with a smile on her face.Nanfen was wearing a snow-white fox fur and was holding a steaming porcelain cup in her hand.
Eve trotted up to meet her, took the hot drink in her hand and poured it into her stomach in one breath. The mixture of cocoa and milk had a rich flavor and the temperature was just right.
"Why did you get up so early today? It's not even seven o'clock." Eve wiped the corner of her mouth and asked.
"The old housekeeper from Comino's house is here and is sitting in the living room." Nanfen replied.
"Oleson?"
"That's right, Comino was afraid you wouldn't go, so he sent him here."
"Are you coming with me today?"
"No, I don't want to go out in such a cold day." Nanfen bent down and brushed the snow off Eve's body, "You come back early today, don't wander around when it's snowing, I'll make it for you tonight food."
"What's delicious?"
"Cream bun? Soy milk cake? Crispy sugar pudding?" Every time Nanfen said something, Eve shook her head, so she asked directly, "Then what do you want to eat?"
"I want custard." Eve replied.
"It's too simple, what else?"
"Then another lamb chop..."
"Would you like some more snacks?"
"I do not want to eat……"
On such a quiet morning, the two discussed the content of the dinner in a whispering voice, and slowly walked towards the living room on the first floor.
Olesen is a personal butler of Comino. He is at least 70 years old now, but his body is very strong.I heard that he used to be a captain in the Yuji Allied Army, and had fought many times with the Black Sword Army of the Kaiers. In terms of force alone, he might not be much worse than Maoqi.
Olesen has been a housekeeper for Comino for almost 20 years. He has watched the three children of Elulon grow up, so in a way, he is even more like theirs than Comino. Father.
Seeing Nanfen taking Eve into the living room, the old man smiled and nodded at them. He was still holding a small sandwich in his hand.
Oleson looks like a professional and decent British housekeeper to the outside world. He usually wears a well-pressed black dress and white shirt. Every time Eve sees him, he feels that he is more like a rich man than Comino.Although Olesen is a native of Modesan, he always speaks the southern dialect of Tollion County, which seems to be the only way for a housekeeper to be considered professional.
