Evetrona's old stories

It’s not that Eve hasn’t grown up, but it’s just that she has grown very slowly. Nanfen once drew the height lines for the two children on a wooden pillar in a porch. Eve was 1.5 meters tall when she first arrived. Five years later, she is now 1.6 meters tall.Mao Qi originally guessed that she was fourteen or fifteen years old. If she calculated it this way, she should be an adult by now, but seeing that she was still young, the couple were uncertain, neither her age nor her identity. Later, a famous doctor came to see her. The doctor touched Eve's skull and chin, and repeatedly checked her teeth and knuckles. Only then did he come to the conclusion that she actually had a small part of elf-like blood, but he was not very sure.

This conclusion made Nanfen both happy and worried.The joy is that Eve will not be short all her life, and the worry is Eve's future happiness.

Humanoid groups are very common in this world. As for their origins, they are somewhat complicated. Among them, there are convergent evolutionary species that can be traced back, mysterious aliens that suddenly appeared, and other genera and species under the Hominid family that are of the same origin as humans. , and the subspecies of Homo that come from intermarriage or mutation of different races.What Nanfen is worried about is Eve's fertility problem. Intermarriage of different species is not as easy as it sounds. The problem of isolation is an irreconcilable contradiction. Layers of obstacles eventually lead to intermarriage of different species, which can only be short-lived and cannot bear fruit. Even if offspring are born, there is a high probability that they will be deformed or infertile with ambiguous gender.

"What is 'elf-like bloodline'?" Nanfen asked the doctor.

"This is just a cautious statement. This kind of case is too rare. The elves can have offspring with New World Snow Mozhong, and the New World Snow Mozhong can have offspring with Yudi Snow Mozhong, and only Yudi Snow Mozhong can have offspring with Yuchi Mozhong. Humans successfully gave birth to offspring—humans cannot directly breed with elves, maybe humans and Yudi Xuemo people can get along well now, but the other two obviously cannot, so I can only say that she is similar to elves, because I am really not sure How likely is this to happen, I'm not a naturalist."

Nanfen didn't quite understand the doctor's words, but she could still understand what the doctor meant, which meant that Eve was a rare special case and couldn't be discussed based on experience.

From then on, Nanfen would ask her cryptically if she had ever had bleeding from time to time. At first Eve didn't understand what it meant, but after asking a lot, Eve understood what she was asking, so she began to worry herself, and when she saw Minxi's menarche, she really started to panic.

Later, the thing that made Eve worry so much didn't happen after all, and Nanfen gradually thought about it. After all, her worry was a bit early. If Eve really has the blood of elves, then her life is still long.

Ming Festival Celebration (Part [-])

In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly five years since Eve came to this world, and this is almost the time Eve spent in Boyun Manor.Time can change many things, it can change positions, and it can soothe people's hearts.

When a person has lived to a certain age, no longer has a sense of novelty to the world, and gradually feels the irreconcilable contradictions in those laws, he starts to think about himself, and only then wants to understand himself. He thinks of the daily cycle of life and the inevitable death, and asks himself: Is life meaningful?He felt despair in such thinking, and thought for a while that this was his end, but as long as he could truly face and accept the impermanence of fate, he would find that life had just begun, and he would no longer compromise when facing death. He rediscovered the world, recognized the imperfection of life, and acknowledged the universality of contradictions, so the world will become attractive again.And Eve, who has been reborn, observes the new world with such an attitude, reshape herself, and integrates into it.

There are people who care about her and are cared for by her. She is no longer a stranger in this world.

The grandest festival of the year in the Kelijin Kingdom is in autumn, and it is called the Shengming Festival.

In this world, there are two moons, one slightly brighter with a faint purple halo, appearing in winter and spring, and the other slightly darker, golden yellow, appearing in summer and autumn, because the size is similar, Yi Fu once thought they were a star, until she saw the two appeared in the sky at the same time, and then she realized the blind spot of her common sense.The Shengming Festival is a festival that celebrates the alternation of two moons. The festival lasts for twelve days. During these twelve days, the golden moon will appear at a position close to the sky at first, and the purple moon will appear on the eastern horizon. As time goes by, the purple moon moves toward the positive sky day by day, while the golden moon recedes to the western horizon, and the whole process lasts exactly twelve days.Most countries in Yudi will hold various celebrations in these few days, but the length of time and festival customs are different.

This day is the sixth day of the Ming Festival, and it is also the most important day. Early in the morning, Mao Qi and several farmers brought back two fat cows that had just been slaughtered from the pasture. His friends had already gathered in the backyard, and this time these old friends also came with their wives and children. These people planned to have dinner here at noon and go to the capital to participate in the celebration together at night.

Naturally, Eve was also there. She was wearing a brown riding outfit, her black hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and she wore a white apron. She was deboning and tendoning a leg of lamb with a razor in her hand.

Comino Knaka is a lord living in the city, a spice merchant, very rich, his stomach and neck are a bit bloated, but other parts are not fat, usually serious, but whenever he sees Eve, he always behaves more cheerfully, which may not even be noticed by himself.He has three sons and two daughters, but the junior he likes the most is Eve. Maybe it's just because Eve has never shown an impatient look to him—he likes to nag acquaintances, his past or the troubles that happened recently. Whenever he drinks alcohol, this kind of chatter will become incoherent and long-winded. Sometimes even his old friends can't stand it, but Eve can maintain patience from beginning to end.Having such a listener can actually make him notice his gaffes.A few times, Comino even talked about the thefts, fraudulent accounts, and sapping when he was young. Eve didn't show much disgust when he heard it. Another time, when he was a little drunk, he told her that he had fallen in love with a woman in the city and said he was sorry for his wife. But this time before he had time to see Eve's reaction, he was dragged to the grass beside him by several old guys to reflect. She didn't dare to go to Boyun Manor to see Eve for many months.

Comino let go of the clamp on the hose, and the clear red wine flowed from the barrel into the glass along the pipe. He took a glass for himself, and took a second glass and put it on the big wooden table in front of Eve, where the raw meat was placed. Eve said thank you, then took the glass with sticky hands, and drank most of the glass in one breath.The wine is made from the grapes produced in the manor, and the brewing time is not long, so the alcohol content is not high, and it has a slight sweetness. The wine just taken out of the cellar is very cold, which is very suitable for relieving the heat. Eve savored the rich fruity aroma in the wine, and at the same time slowed down the movements of her hands.

"Look, the guys from Yard over there think I'm doing something bad." Comino said to Eve. "They don't know you, so they must think I'm encouraging kids to drink."

"Even if I'm an adult, it's not a good thing to pour wine for a girl's house." Eve said with a smile.

"You said you were a girl again now, haha." Komino sat on the chair beside her. He was well dressed, and he patted the back of the chair carefully when he sat down. "The kick you kicked Jiwanti back then was not something a girl could do. When I think about it now, I find it funny. That bitch just rolled his eyes and passed out..."

When talking about this, Eve frowned, and she said, "That was the first time I met a hooligan in my life."

"It's not a hooligan."

"You said this and I just remembered to ask, what happened to that incident?" Eve asked him.

"You don't know?" Comino's eyes widened in surprise, "That bastard Mochi didn't mention it at all?"

"He wanted to talk to me, but I interrupted him as soon as he said it, and he never mentioned it again." Eve said this with an unnatural expression. "It disgusted me during that time, but it's fine now."

"Okay, now you want to know again?"

"Since you mentioned it, I'll just ask by the way. You must have helped the most with this matter, right?" Eve narrowed her eyes with an expression of "I see it through".

"Hehe, Ross and I did it. After Jiwanti fainted from the pain that day, he was sent to the clinic in the town first, but the clinic couldn't treat him, so he was sent to the Capital Military Hospital... Your kick is really serious. The doctor who took over shook his head when he saw it, saying that there was no cure."

Eve silently took a sip of wine, nodded, and listened to him continue.The year before last, an upstart named Ji Wanti took advantage of Eve's order and played a trick on her.It was evening, and Eve was waiting for Maoqi and the others on the street of a town near the capital to purchase the supplies they needed for camping. Jiwanti drank some wine and couldn't move after seeing Eve. At that time, Eve was wearing an indigo blue dress and sitting on the steps opposite the tavern. No matter how she dressed or behaved, she was very eye-catching because of her extraordinary beauty. He just took off his pants and leaned up - this person is really outrageous.Seeing this scene, Eve was stunned for a moment, then filled with fright and anger, her blood surged, and she flew up and kicked between his legs. Although she was wearing a long skirt at that time, she was wearing a pair of riding boots on her feet, and the sharp and hard heels stepped on the man's vitals fiercely.Eve regretted it after kicking it, she was still afraid of trouble after all.

"Look how bored Ross is usually, but there are acquaintances in the military hospital, and he has a lot of acquaintances. He asked the people inside to give Jiwanti some information..." Komino looked at her expression while talking, and seeing that she was normal, he continued: "Not long after, his thing turned black and rotted, and the doctor cut it off completely."

Comino saw that she was silent all the time, so he asked her, "After listening, it doesn't feel interesting?"

"I was interested, but after listening to you, I feel boring, but I still have to thank you and Ross."

"Okay then, let's talk about something else..."

Footsteps sounded up the steps.

Nan Fen was wearing a pale yellow dress and hurriedly walked outside the house, she saw Eve in the yard at a glance.

Nanfen now also understands that Eve is destined to be a special case: just let her be happy, as long as she can behave like a human being in formal occasions, then some outrageous behaviors in ordinary times can be tolerated, after all, Based on her appearance alone, even if she set fire to someone's house, she might be forgiven.

But today she can't be allowed to run amok.Thinking of this, she walked towards Eve's direction, and Maoqi's old friends hurriedly avoided her when they saw her menacing approach.

The sudden silence around her also made Eve notice something unusual, so she turned her head.

"I'll make these some other day." Nan Fen whispered to her, "Not today, your brother is coming back today."

The elder brother that Nanfen mentioned was Minxi's own elder brother, Luge Dakren, the eldest son of Dakren's family.Eve only met him a few times in the first year of coming here, and later heard that he went to the Eastern Continent with a research fleet, and sent a letter back two and a half months ago, saying that he would return to China around the Ming Festival, and today, Nanfen finally confirmed the news that the research ship had entered the port.

Eve jumped off the wooden plank used for heightening, tore off her apron, drank the wine in her hand, and followed Nanfen towards the porch.

"You go take a shower first, and I'll change your clothes when you come out." Nanfen said while walking, "Luge may bring a few friends over, so you must stay with me today. I can only say, I hope there will be no trouble."

Eve laughed a few times with a stiff face, she understood what Nanfen meant.The beauty of a woman is a kind of inborn precious wealth, but this kind of wealth grows on the neck, and everyone can see it. Naturally, some people want to try to keep this wealth for themselves, and there are many ways to do it. After all, it costs nothing to try.

"Or, I'll stay at home, what do you think?"

"What are you talking about, Minxi is not at home now, do you want me to meet Ruge alone?"

"Aren't Maoqi going? Just the two of us?" Eve was a little surprised.

"He said he won't go, I can't persuade him." Nanfen sighed.

"What's wrong? Is he still angry?"

"It's not enough to be angry. I feel that he just can't hold back. The father and son have the same temper. When Ruge was going to sea, Maoqi forced him to inherit the inheritance, but he still sneaked out overnight."

"That's right, Ruge is back now, and he's nothing to be angry about. I think he's in a pretty good mood today."

When Nanfen heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's go."

An hour later, when Eve came out of the room again, she had already put on a purple dress embroidered with black patterns. Nan Fen braided a red ribbon into her hair, and then tied the Waist-length hair hangs over her left shoulder and hangs in front of her chest. The bright red silk is hidden under the glossy black hair, which is faintly visible. Matching her fair and moist face, she has a bit of a hermit aristocratic temperament, except In addition, Nanfen also prepared high-heeled shoes and chest pads for her to make up for her lack of figure-everything seems to be just to cover up her sloppy and childishness.

The carriage was already waiting at the door, and Eve got into the carriage holding her skirt. It seemed that she was used to all of this, neither liking nor hating it, and she got used to it after a long time.

When a person is young, he will be more or less educated by the world and shaped by the society (including but not limited to the etiquette of dealing with others, the distance between people, the boundaries of social behavior divided by gender, etc.), and Eve is the same. When she came to Boyun Manor, she went through a process of re-education. In other words, in order to adapt to the new world, the rules have to be learned again. Playing a new role is bound to go a long way—it's hard to stand up when everyone says you look good in a dress.

Ruge is in the capital now, and had dinner with the crew at the owner's house yesterday. He sent a letter to the manor in advance, saying that he would be back before this afternoon, and after Nanfen learned of this, he said he would go to the city to pick him up.

Boyun Manor is not far from the capital city, and it takes about two hours to take a carriage. It was only around ten o'clock in the morning when the two arrived in the capital city of Feimeng.

Luge and his three friends of the same age were already waiting near the city gate. After Eve got off the carriage with Nanfen, she kept watching by her side without saying a word.

Ruger is 22 years old this year. He has the same blond hair as his mother, but his hair is longer than her mother's. The slightly curly hair is scattered behind his back. With his tall stature, he looks like a handsome big boy.Eve recognized him among the four at a glance. Although he couldn't remember his appearance clearly, he was the only one with blond hair among the four.

The mother and son hugged each other as soon as they met, and after they parted, Nanfen held his hand tightly, and tears fell without saying a word. Ruge comforted her slightly while wiping her tears with his sleeve, as if he was no stranger to this kind of scene.

After comforting his mother, he turned his head to look at Eve, and smiled at her as a greeting, while Eve nodded in response.

"These two are my companions who took care of me when I was traveling, Faen and Guo Kekai." He introduced to his mother and sister, "And this one, although you haven't seen him, you will know him as soon as I tell you Who is it, he is my former alumnus, we still maintain the exchange of letters after going to sea, and the letters sent home are also entrusted to him."

"Oh, it's Risk, right?" Nanfen suddenly realized, "Thank you so much, and these two too. Luge has never traveled far, thanks to everyone taking care of him."

"No matter what, we are just helping each other." Risk and Luge are about the same size, always have a smile on their faces, and they are easy to get along with at first glance.

Several people greeted each other politely, and after Luge discussed the schedule with his partners, he got into the carriage with Nanfen and Eve and prepared to go home, while Risk, Fine and Guo Kekai stayed in the city. He continued to hang out and play, and waited until the evening for Luge to meet them in the city. The plan was to follow him to the manor to live for a while after the celebration.

After watching the carriage leave, the three young men looked at each other, as if they had something to say.

"Who is that lady?" Fine spoke first.

"Probably his sister," Riske said.

"Minxi? I ​​seem to have heard him mention it." Guo Kekai said.

"It's not Minxi, it's another one, Mrs. Duckren's goddaughter, and of course Luge's younger sister." Riske corrected.

"Mrs. Darkren seems to have forgotten to introduce her." Fine said.

"I think Madam may not intend to introduce her." Guo Kekai said.

"Can we see her again tonight?" Fine said.

"It should be possible." Guo Kekai's eyes lit up.

"I think it's better for you to have less contact with her." Riske said, "You may not know much about her reputation because you have been out for many years."

"Why?" Fine's heart tightened, "She has a bad reputation?"

"I can't tell if it's good or not. She's excellent, that's for sure, but she's also very different..."

"What kind of alien law?"

"In the past few years, many people have pursued or harassed her, but basically few of them ended up well. They were either beaten up by villains who didn't know where, or expelled from the city, or directly by Miss Eve herself. Injured and disabled..." Risk lowered his voice, "You have seen her appearance just now, and this is the first time I have seen her. I didn't quite believe that she would have such a great charm, but now I I understand, even if I risk being beaten up to talk to her, it's worth it."

"You said, she was beaten by herself?" Fine suspected that he had heard wrong.

"It's nothing surprising. Mr. Dakren was the person in charge of the garden college's relic rescue work. Is it normal for Miss Eve to be very skilled?"

"Then why Ruger doesn't know how to fight at all?"

"How do I know that..."

The three walked slowly and returned to the city. The topic gradually shifted from Eve to Luge, a rich man.

Ming Festival Celebration (Part [-])

Ross used to be an official in the capital, but now he is retired. He is older than Maoqi and Comino. He has a black mustache, eyes as bright as black beans, and a thin face, highlighting the cheekbones and the strong contours around the eye sockets. Attacking swordsmanship.

Eve cannot use magic, and Ross also has no talent in this area, so part of his swordsmanship is suitable for Eve to learn.

Ross played the piano well, and Eve also learned some from him, but he only knew two ways to play, and he couldn't play some too complicated ones. Compared with this kind of guitar-like piano, this world also has pianos and violins. Under the influence of Nanfen, Eve is better at these two instruments.

At this moment, Eve was holding a violin and still wearing the dress.She was sitting on a chair under a tree in the garden, surrounded by a dozen young girls from all over Krigin, some were descendants of "old friends" and some were distant relatives of the Duckrens. Nanfen specially arranged her here so that she would not appear so out of the ordinary.

In this day and age, ladies from well-to-do families basically knew some music, but none of them brought their instruments here today.The girls gathered together and talked about the most popular pieces in their respective regions recently. Some of them had good memories, so they wrote down the wonderful part of the score on paper, and asked Eve to play it. Every time Eve finished playing, the girls applauded.

Eve didn't act too high-profile, and didn't say a few words.She was surrounded by a group of young girls. As long as she played, everyone would watch her quietly. This atmosphere made her a little uncomfortable, and she even turned pale in the end. Deep in her heart, she might still treat these young girls as the opposite sex.Eve has no experience in getting along with the opposite sex of the same age, so she always acts cautiously and cautiously. She always maintains a polite smile on her face, and tries her best to be serious and standard in each performance, so as to meet the requirements of the girls to the greatest extent.

"She is so good. If I were a man, I would find a way to marry her home." A girl was whispering to her partner. Her name was Ye Fei, and the girl next to her was Xue Lier.Both of them are seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are distant relatives of Nanfen. They all call Nanfen cousin, and they are cousins.

"Then you will definitely be beaten up by her." Xue Lier whispered in her ear.

"Ha, I forgot about that." Ye Fei chuckled, "Do you think it's because she doesn't want to get married, or because she doesn't like men?"

"It's hard to say. Anyway, I'm afraid of getting married. If I have good skills like her, and someone backs me up, maybe I will be like her, and I will fight one by one." Shirley replied.

"But you are not as good-looking as anyone else. If you do that, you might be sent to a lunatic asylum." Ye Fei cleared her throat, and pressed her ear against Xuelier's ear, "When people see you, they will shout - stay away from me, crazy woman!"

Shirley had kept her arms folded, but when she heard Ye Fei's words, she burst out laughing and bent her waist. Her movements were not big, but they were caught by the sensitive Eve. Eve met her eyes, and immediately moved back to the music score, and the playing in her hand was not interrupted.

"It's all your fault, what are you talking about?" Shirley reached out to Ye Fei's waist, trying to pinch her itchy flesh, but the other party avoided it.

"Did you see her confused eyes just now?" Ye Fei said, "I must have thought that I made a mistake and was laughed at by you."

Shirley felt embarrassed when she heard this, she hurriedly grabbed her partner's hand, and said, "You need to explain to her with me later, to apologize or something..."

"What? Are you afraid that she will retaliate against you afterwards?" Ye Fei still did not forget to joke.

"Okay, stop messing around." Shirley's gaze shifted from her partner back to Eve's face, and followed her gaze to the page in front of her that was full of handwritten numbered notation.Her eyes lit up, and she said to Ye Fei: "Didn't your uncle write a song recently? It's just a nice one..."

"He wrote it for the tavern, isn't it suitable for the current atmosphere? Besides, it's quite difficult to play. It was written for the harpsichord and harp..." Ye Fei frowned.

"It doesn't matter, I always feel that she is almost asleep, this is just right." Shirley seemed to be impatient, "Can you still remember? I'm going to borrow paper and pen now."

"That's not necessary, I'll take it with me." Ye Fei picked up a book from the bench behind her under Xue Lier's unexpected gaze, and took out a few pages from the book.She looked carefully at the content, and selected two more pages from it.

"What are these?" Shirley asked in surprise.

"It's nothing..." Ye Fei's tone was a little anxious.

"what?"

"Some excerpted poems and scores...I'm writing some myself..."

"Let's be clear, is it poetry or music?"

"All of them..." Ye Fei lowered her head in embarrassment.

"So you're still secretly writing these." Shirley was a little surprised, but she was also happy for her, "Then you should think about it carefully, and when you get back, pick a few that you are satisfied with and let me see."

Ye Fei nodded silently, agreeing.

When Eve finished playing, Shirley took no time to hand over the score.

"Sorry, just now my cousin always wanted to make me laugh, but I couldn't hold back." Shirley leaned in front of her and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"It's okay, I'm a little nervous today." Eve nodded at her, still smiling politely.

Xuelier saw that Eve didn't seem to want to talk about what happened just now, so she brought the topic to the music score, "This score was written by an elder over there, and the style may be a little different..."

Eve turned her eyes to the paper in her hand, and looked at the score on it. She already had a vague sound in her mind. After a few fragments, after she had seen the whole piece of music, she fixed the score on the shelf in front of her and started playing.
