Chapter 21

Betsy's house was not far from Anna's, and she went out with a little bit of makeup.

She thought of Karenin's frown when she was pounding clothes in her bedroom in the morning, for clothes piled up like hills.

Anna knew that for Karenin, who was used to having a clear schedule and a clear schedule, it was right to be clean and tidy. Being dirty and sloppy was like throwing a hole of pine nuts he had stored in front of a diligent squirrel with the most powerful machine gun.

Facing this scene of clothes piled up, Karenin must be like the squirrel whose pinecone was thrust by a machine gun at the moment. Because it happened so quickly and was too shocked, he could not think of any language to evaluate the situation. Therefore, silence represents his mood.

"Don't frown. I'll clean it up." Anna had a long skirt in her arms, and then she came over and kissed Karenin on the lips on tiptoe.

Karenin couldn't understand why women have so many clothes, and they even felt that there was one less in the wardrobe.

Although sometimes he thinks his wife is different from many women, she is more tolerant and optimistic, but it seems that some things will never change.

The weather is always getting colder and colder, but it is obvious that the ladies will always feel slower than the poor for a season.

Anna was wearing a warm, soft velvet dress, and she was wearing a long black velvet mantle. She changed the shoulder a little bit, because she was thinner than before, and the fox hair was beautiful, fluffy and greasy.

Her hair was neatly combed, and some of her curly hair was smoothed with osmanthus scented hair oil. She wore a small hat with a certain pile on it, which was simple but exquisite.

She got out of the carriage and was welcomed in by the butler of Betsy.

"Let me see, you are always so beautiful, Anna." Betsy met her in a bright dress, her waist pinched thin, but her face very ruddy.

She took Anna's hand and looked up and down with her affectionate eyes without showing any jealousy.

"How beautiful. Did you find a good tailor in Petersburg?" Asked Betsy, her eyes shining.

"I've changed it a little bit. I found that I've lost some weight recently, and it's too troublesome to leave my clothes to the tailors. Sometimes they don't understand what I want." Anna said with a smile, in order to integrate into the environment.

"I didn't know you had the craft." Betsy laughed, but obviously didn't take it seriously, but she stopped pressing the question.

She opened a decorative fan made of ostrich hair in her right hand, and took Anna with the other hand and brought her into their tea party.

There are men and women, and they have gathered together.

Anna looked at everyone quietly, trying to figure out who they were.

Let's not say why petsy is the chief representative of this circle. She arranged Anna beside her and introduced all the people present to her affectionately.

The one with a yellow face and bulging breasts was the Duchess of miyakki, who, though not very good-looking in appearance, spoke with great weight.

There are other aristocratic ladies. Most of the men have some titles in the family, but they can't go to the big market. With their good faces, these young men were circling around the ladies in an attempt to make some profit.

"Is everyone here?" A voice came from the other end of the living room. The voice was very young, between childhood and adolescence.

Anna looked up. A boy in a tight uniform came up, his brown curly hair looked very supple, his face with a youthful sprightness, and behind him was a fat man, Anna's cousin.

"Here you are, Anna." Anna's cousin hugged the former with his chubby fingers and then kissed her on the cheek as a greeting.

"It's all here now!" Anna's cousin said, laughing himself.

"It's up to you, honey."

Betsy accepted her husband's kiss. She gave a giggle and a coquettish remark.

"You did something. Don't tell me about the painted pottery. I'm not interested

Anna's cousin was obsessed with the collection of painted pottery and engravings. He had the title of Duke. Although he was not interested in political affairs, he was still doing more or less.

"Come here. I have a good place reserved for you, vorensky." Betsy beckoned the smiling boy to come.

When Betsy's eyes fell on her, Anna knew that the good position was next to her.

Good day, Mrs. Karenin Although vorensky was only 13 years old, he was quite pleasing to the eye.

His double eyelids are very deep, and there are a pair of dark eyes with the same color. They are like some kind of glass ball. They are crisp and bright.He looked at Anna with that kind of young man's unique high spirited eyes, but also with undisguised admiration.

Anna returned with a smile, thinking: this era is really precocious, this circle is also full of weird.

"Well, our tea party is about to officially begin." Said Betsy, with a charming smile on the corner of her lips, a young man sat down beside her, glanced at some place, and then said something in her ear, which drew a tender smile.

Betsy's eyes glanced at the young lady sitting opposite her, Wollensky's sister and Betsy's cousin, who had been married for less than a year.

There was a charm in her eyes.

"Honey, how about the honeymoon?" Asked the Duchess of miyakki with concern.

She liked Anna as soon as she saw her, not only for her beautiful appearance, but also for her character.

The Duchess of miyakuki did not hate beauties, she even appreciated them, but she hated the powerful women. If there is one in this circle, she may not like to come.

"How can you ask this question?" An ambassador's wife said that she had a pair of very delicate eyebrows, eyelashes as black as crow's wings, she was tall and sat upright, and her ruddy lips drew an arc of pity.

"It must be a bit of a pity that honeymoon and business trip are mixed together." The ambassador's wife asked, pretending to be concerned, but could not hide her jealousy.

The ambassador's wife originally thought that she would be the most outstanding one. She was of noble status and outstanding appearance. However, she had a fatal defect and was too small.

She was upset because Anna's appearance was better than her, and now it can be said who wants to make a fool of the former.

The ambassador's wife had heard her husband talk about the Karenin, even though her husband spoke highly of him, so what? At the end of the day, it was a man who did not know anything about romance. Marrying a man who could bring work with him even on his new wedding trip could not make people feel happy at all.

Anna didn't show any embarrassment. Instead, she took a smile and said, "I don't think there's any regret."

Almost all of them stopped talking, and the ambassador's wife looked a little stiff.

Anna pursed her lips, raised a shallow arc, and said, "my husband is very responsible for his work. As an official's wife, I'm not good at government affairs."

She blinked, her voice became lively, and the whole person looked like a flash of light, firmly and brightly defending her husband's reputation.

"To tell you the truth, I can't do those negotiation skills, and I can't do that conscientiously, but at least I can accompany him when he is devoted to Russia. In this way, I am a person who can't do anything, but I've done a little bit for our country. "

"Well said, dear." The Duchess of miyakhenki clapped her hands, and some of them followed, with wallensky looking at Anna with a look of surprise and admiration.

The applause fell on the ambassador's wife's face like a slap in the face. A faint blush appeared on her pale face.

"My husband said that Nelson would come to us next week and everyone said she sang quite well, but I had never heard her voice. I've heard that Madame Heidrich is very accomplished in music, so I'd like to hear your opinion, so that I can decide whether to go and see it. " Anna said in a compliment.

The ambassador's wife was a little surprised. Looking at Anna's sincere expression, she suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Although she was not very generous, it just showed that she was not a very resourceful woman. At the moment, because of her shame, she decided to give the most detailed views to make up for the words she said because of jealousy at that time.

Everyone listened to the ambassador's wife's comments on the queen of Swedish Opera. Anna was the same. She took a sip of tea, and the whole person was smiling. When the ambassador's wife looked at her, she gave back a look of admiration.

In less than half an hour, she easily resolved this little fight between women.

The conversation went on, the conversation changed too quickly, Anna stopped showing off, she became the best listener and listener, and then she went to the dressing room.

Anna tidied up her clothes, and when she came out, passing the corner, she heard a murmur of conversation.

She did not stay to eavesdrop and avoid unnecessary trouble.

When Anna returned to the living room, she looked at everyone and found that Betsy and the young man were gone. She was thinking in secret when Betsy came back.

Before long, Wollensky's sister got up and went to the dressing room. The two women touched their earlobes with their fingers as a sign of communication. Wollensky's sister left with a blush on her cheeks.

Betsy got up and went to the Duchess of miyakuki and beckoned to them.

Anna looked back, but saw Wollensky looking at her.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
