Chapter 12

It was quiet when she went back. Anna took Karenin's hand in the carriage.

"Hand in hand is also a necessary lesson." She said with a wink.

Karenin rarely saw people holding hands like this, and their fingers would be embedded between each other's fingers. He had never seen such intimate behavior in his familiar circle.

But seeing her happy appearance, this strange is not worth studying.

While sleeping, Karenin washed out and saw someone patting his pillow.

"I don't have a fever now, but I think a little warmer will make my body better." She said.

Karenin knew it was an excuse and he didn't prick it. If he is the kind of person who is good at men and women, there will be more sweet words. But Karenin was never. Fortunately, his wife didn't care.

Open the quilt to sleep, roll over a small and soft body. A little bit closer to his heart, Karenin thought, maybe sometimes not so rational and not too bad.

"Good night, Alexis."

"Good night, Anna."

Anna didn't forget the dinner the next day. The dinner party started at 6:00 p.m., and Karenin had officials to visit during the day, and Anna was preparing clothes for the dinner.

She rummaged through the wardrobe, most of the clothes were not her favorite style and had to be pulled at the waist, which Anna thought was too much for women.

Before, she couldn't make too many changes, but now she plans to make herself more comfortable.

She likes the velvet texture, which is smooth to the touch, but the sleeves don't fit the dress well. Anna thought for a moment. She took the scissors and cut off the sleeve. She made a little modification to make it look like a glove. She sewed the velvet skirt close to her thighs with a needle and thread.

The collar doesn't need to be changed. It's low enough.

Anna looked at her hair in the mirror and put down the little bangs like the lid of the pot. Now they are a little longer.

Although the lid like bangs are popular now, in Anna's opinion, it's not very beautiful. She braided her hair into a braid and then coiled it up. Finally, she chose round pearls to decorate her earlobe.

Anna touched her clavicle and chose a pearl necklace.

Finally, wrap yourself in a warm enough coat.

The coat made of fox hair has a hairy collar and is worth a lot at a glance. Anna has found this point for a long time. It is obvious that women's pursuit of beauty remains unchanged from ancient times to the present and from the inside to the outside.

After doing this, she looked at the time again. It was almost time for Karenin to come back.

Anna walked to the door of the suite with her skirt in her hand. Sure enough, she could listen to the steady footsteps.

The voice has a sense of rhythm, the pace is not big or small, each step is very stable, indicating that the host is attentive.

When the other party wanted to open the door, Anna opened the door, smiling and bending: "welcome back."

The man froze for a moment and then regained his composure.

"How do you know it's me? Anna. " Karenin asked as he came in, then added, "it's not safe for you to do this."

"First, there won't be too many strangers knocking on the door. Second, you can hear my step

"Your footsteps are different."

Karenin looked up and down at Anna and frowned, "you're wearing too little."

"Don't you think it's too little to wear. Should I first express my opinion that it's not good to wear like this?" Anna was a little depressed.

After hearing this, Karenin looked at his wife seriously. Finally, he said, "in my opinion, there is no big difference. You have always been like this." After that, Karenin picked up the coat next to her and wrapped it up for Anna.

Then he found that his wife was looking at him again.

"Did I say anything to please you?" Karenin was puzzled.

"Oh, my God Anna said with a smile.

"I don't understand what makes you so happy." Karenin arranged his wife's collar. He didn't want the place to get sick again.

"You're responsible for your health, Anna."

"Isn't there you?" Anna said briskly.

Karenin took back his hand and said, "each of us is responsible for our own health. Even though I'm your husband, I always do that when I can see you. But I can't stay by your side all the time

At last, he said with great sincerity: "it is unreasonable to expect others to live a lifetime."

"OK." Anna accepted Mr. Karenin's teaching modestly.

Compared with Anna's dress, Karenin's dress is relatively simple. He wears a dark cloth suit and is very calm. He looks like a government official. There is no fashion to speak of. He is not picky, but he can't make mistakes.

Anna's eyes looked over Karenin's clothes until the latter asked what she was looking at."You fit blue, Alexis." Anna said suddenly.

Seeing Karenin frown slightly, Anna said, "maybe you can consider making a blue suit. It will look good."

Karenin buckled his cuffs and said, "that doesn't fit, Anna. I don't need this color for my job. "

"But it really suits you." Anna had some regrets, but she soon forgot about it for the time being because she wanted to straighten her collar.

Karenin used to think that it was really unpleasant for someone to come and tidy his clothes. In fact, Karenin didn't like to be too close to others. Even after another group of servants, he still likes to do many things himself. However, if this person is his wife, he is not easy to refuse.

"I'm doing what a wife should do." Anna said with a smile that she did not know whether she had understood her husband's mind or just thought about it.

Women's delicate and greasy fingers run through the washed collar, and sometimes the back of the fingers will touch the man's neck.

Neck, the place where death is easy.

Karenin endured his instinct. When he embarked on this political road, he was taught by his superiors that he should never reveal his own destiny to others, let alone let a person's fingers touch it at will.

"But it doesn't include wives." Karenin added this in his mind and revised his own criteria.

Anna doesn't know all this. She's enjoying the process of finishing her husband's collar and is satisfied with it. She likes to dress up and see beautiful things.

"All right." She said happily that she thought her husband was perfect.

Karenin calmly withdrew his sight. He put on his coat and asked his wife to take him out of the suite, get into the carriage and go to the party.

The party was held at Mr. de Marelle's house, and it is said that all the planning and preparation was done by his beautiful and capable wife.

Mr. de Marelle was admired for his virtuous and beautiful wife, and today the latter is even more beautiful.

Madame de Marelle wore a rose colored dress, silk texture, very expensive, and looked smooth. Her waist was also very slender, and her back was raised high, and many folds were made to look like rose petals. Diamond accessories are very shining, set off her small full lips charming and amorous.

Madame de Marelle stood beside her husband, like a budding rose and some ugly rich man. At first, after the marriage of the old man and his wife began, people always murmured in their hearts, some envied and some envied, but in any case, they had to admit that until now, Madame de Marelle had no bad handle to be caught.

When the servants told them that Alexey Alexandrovich Karenin had come with his wife, many people craned their necks to see what the wife of the great bureaucrat looked like.

Although it was a dinner party, the lights were bright enough.

The tall official came in with his wife.

She was neither tall nor short among Russian women, and her arms were slender and slender. Her black hair was cleverly made up, and her gray eyes were shining like jewels under the bangs, as if the lights of the dinner party had gathered in her eyes.

She pressed her hand tightly to her husband's arm and paused on the way. People saw that the official seemed to ask something, while the woman answered in a low voice with a smile on her lips.

The smile of Madame de Marelle's eyes disappeared, and the curve of her beautiful lips became a rigid curve.
