Karenin's letter of call said 10 a.m., and Anna got up earlier than usual.
She did morning exercises in her room for a period of time. Although the effect was not very obvious, she felt that her body was much better.
During breakfast, Anna's aunt, Mrs. Terier, finally talked about the topic that Karenin was going to visit, but she didn't make it clear that she just asked Anna to do as she told and dress up appropriately.
"Yes, aunt."
Anna responded, the bear twins squeezed their eyes, and their mother, Anna's cousin, looked at her with a pitiful look.
But in fact, Anna was grateful for Aunt terrier's indifference. God knows how much she wants to marry the gentleman who is not very popular now, and, to be honest, those who have been in that circle are not born to say no to the way they make themselves beautiful.
Although it was still cold, Anna went back to her room and changed into a light blue dress, which was a little thin, so she added a white shawl with gold embroidery. She thought for a while, made Camellia with a silk handkerchief and put it in the curly black hair.
She left a wisp on purpose and made it more curly with her own simple curling stick.
Fortunately, she didn't need to iron her eyelashes. They were thick and curly. What she had to do later was to make herself look beautiful enough and fascinate the gentleman. Thinking of this, Anna made a smile to herself in the mirror that you had to cheer on.
Ten o'clock, very punctual.
The housekeeper informed Mr. Karenin that he had come.
Anna is not allowed to go out, after all, she is an unmarried woman, but that does not mean that she will not hide behind the balcony curtain and become the first person to see her fiance.
Even if everyone thought it was enough for her to listen to the parents, but in Anna's mind, it was just her own business.
So, when the man entered the house and walked on the road with his long legs, Anna's heart was already cheering.
Standing on the windowsill, she couldn't help lifting the curtains. Now she doesn't care about being seen. She just wants to look at her to make sure it's not a dream.
"I just looked at him."
"Will he see me, too?"
The romance didn't happen. Karenin didn't know that his bold fiancee was looking at him. After all, even if he was used to the storm in politics, it was the first time for him to propose a marriage.
Anna waited in the room for twenty minutes, and then the maid came to tell her that her aunt told her to stay in the living room.
She took a deep breath and passed with a steady and elegant step.
The servant opened the door and Anna went in.
People's eyes fell on her, but this kind of appearance reassured her. After all, she lived in the sight of others in the previous life. As her favorite agent told her, this stage belongs to her, and her eyes only need to look at the people she wants.
So she raised her eyes, met the gentleman in mid air, and then, smiling, gently moved away, sat down perfectly with aunt tyrier, fully demonstrating the grace and grace of a lady of nobility.
Madame tiriere was obviously pleased with her niece's behaviour. Even if she thinks this Mr. Karenin is good enough, he is obviously not as good as the obaronsky family in terms of blood and family background. What she can't tolerate is that the people of the obronski family humiliate their own family. If such a thing happens, she would rather die.
"This is my niece, the eldest daughter of the o'bronsky family."
Madame tiriere introduced Anna to Karenin. Although they knew each other that they might have known each other for a long time, the reserve and pride belonging to the nobility could not allow this kind of private giving and receiving. It is indecent for two unmarried men and women to know each other without the introduction of their parents.
Karenin was more familiar with the rules and etiquette than anyone else, so he did exactly as Terier asked. After he expressed his intention to marry miss o'bronsky, Mrs. Terrier let him see her.
His little fiancee is really beautiful, whether it's curly black hair or her big gray eyes. If she is not bound by the grace of a lady today, she should be bold.
"Dear, Mr. Karenin thinks you are a noble woman, and he is eager to ask you to be his wife."
Madame tiriere looked at Anna, and her thin lips were not amiable at all to say the word "dear.".
Everyone knows it's not asking for advice, and Mrs. Terrier only accepts consent, not rejection.
"You brought me up like my mother, my dear aunt, it's up to you." Anna said, deliberately, with the shyness of a little girl, and not forgetting to flatter Madame tirier.
Mrs. tyrier was very satisfied with this. Her gray eyes, who inherited the o'bronsky family, looked at Karenin again and said that she thought it was a proper marriage.Then they began to discuss the date of marriage.
"Two weeks later?" Madame tiriere frowned. It was too hasty.
Karenin was not slow or slow. He had already thought of a good way to say something about it.
Before he started speaking, he habitually looked at everyone, recorded their expressions and analyzed them. Finally, he gave his fiancee a soothing look.
Karenin's blue eyes looked at his aunt to be. His eyes were calm and calm. They were not flattering or alienated, but just right.
"As you may have heard, it was the emperor's will that I came to Moscow, in order to prepare for a month's trip to France in two weeks."
The man's voice was not slow, and Anna's eyes almost twinkled. Karenin hinted at his aunt that he was going to France and might even be promoted again. At that time, the emperor's third sister was coming of age.
Anna saw that her aunt frowned slightly when she heard this. She knew what Karenin had said worked. But, the emperor's third sister?
She glanced at Karenin, the young gentleman, who was polite and did not make eye contact with her.
He sat there, with long legs covered in straight pants, long fingers without rings she had seen in her previous life, clean, and his thumb was slowly rubbing the armrest. His brows were open, confident and steady.
Anna swore that the cold gentleman did not know that he was surrounded by pheromone, and that the word "look at me" was strongly pronounced.
Anna lowered her eyes to ease her mood, and at the moment she bowed her head, she did not know that the walking Mr. pheromone looked at him for two or three seconds in an imperceptible way.
Under his long drooping eyelashes, his pale blue eyes only contained the elegant and gentle silhouette of a girl. From each other's thick eyelashes to his rich lips, he was astonished by the beauty of nature and man, like a picture which was gently outlined.
No one knows what happened in one or two seconds, only the party concerned knows that at this moment, the other party left a deep mark in his heart.
