Chapter 26

Anna and Karenin went into their bedroom.

Karenin closed the door and was held by his wife again.

"I went to Mr. Maillard's house today, and I had afternoon tea with Mrs. Maillard." Anna took the initiative to say that she liked it like this, as if the distance with Karenin completely disappeared, fit each other, there is no secret, they can share everything.

Karenin finally put his hand behind his wife's waist, which he would never have done in the past.

Such a close distance, not controlled by reason, some stupid to enjoy a kind of warmth.

"And then?" He heard himself asking.

"Then, I heard a lot about you as a child. Some are funny, but some are not so good. "

"For example?"

Karenin did not understand, or in other words, he never really cared about his own impression in other people's minds. Except for those decent and emotional things, he actually had some blank space.

Karenin has always believed that unless it is politically necessary and he needs to achieve his own goals, it is not necessary to explore other people's feelings beyond the initial interests of his existence.

"Something about your brother."

Anna felt the muscles in Karenin's body stiffen for a moment when she mentioned the word brother, and then she heard the other person say.

"That's in the past, Anna."

"Yes, I know you can always handle this, but I still feel sorry. I don't know how to describe it, but I just think it would be nice if I could get to know you earlier." She whispered.

"If I had known you earlier, we would have grown up together. Although I am not smart enough, I can listen to what you want to say. If you don't want to talk, I can tell you... "

That way, you won't be so lonely

Anna still didn't say the last sentence, but she knew that, as clever as Karenin, he would understand.

Anna has always known that she is a little emotional. Her agent once said that there may be no one in the world who can have a good heart after all these things.

Anna doesn't think she is a kind-hearted person. She is kind to others, but not to everyone. Her love is actually very small and will be distributed to only one or two people. Now, there may be only one person in the world.

She loved him and depended on him.

This kind of love makes her want to inquire more about Karenin's childhood, but she is afraid that she can't help it. She felt as if she had become a mother ahead of time and would have a lot of consideration and association because of each other's every move.

Anna didn't know whether the feeling was right or not. Maybe it was too sticky, so she asked.

"Alexis, will I trouble you?"

Karenin let go of his wife. Although he could not fully understand her small entanglements, he slowly grasped the best way in this relationship, and by this way, two people with different personalities could gradually follow the same pace.

"I don't know why you have such a question. But I think I need to be honest with you about something that might be useful. "

His blue, glassy eyes were fixed on his wife, his thin lips open and closed.

"As a matter of fact, Anna, although I can't fully understand that you have to act sometimes, they are a little strange," Karenin used a more euphemistic way.

"But that's not entirely bad for me."

"I have to say that naturally I have my own pace of habit, but I know that for marriage, if two people agree with each other and reach a desire to combine, they have to change a little bit. If a person's pace is too fast, he'd better slow down. If a husband walks too slowly, he'd better slow down

"In my previous plans, it's best to start a marriage when I'm 25, or when I'm 35, which is the best time. But obviously, I didn't have this opportunity when I was 25, and I met you before I was 35. "

"It's totally different from my original plan. After I agree with you, you don't know. It means more to me."

"Before we got married, I still had a lot of time to sort it out. I made a choice, and although I sometimes feel a little confused because I don't quite understand what you're doing, I have to tell you that if you think it's your feelings that might be bothering me, I can tell you that it's never going to happen. "

"You don't understand how much I appreciate all this." He said in a low voice, seeing the vibration in her eyes, and then he kissed her on the forehead.

He hugged her and held her firmly in his arms. His voice was calm, but as hard as iron.

"So, nothing needs to be changed."

"Good now."For a long time, a small smile was rolled up by Anna at the corner of her mouth. She rubbed Karenin's chin and said, "meeting you is really the best thing that has happened in my life."

From that day on, Anna completely believed that she would love each other forever.

Karenin's work at the present stage is mainly dealing with some diplomatic matters. He is a civil servant.

Russian officers always looked down upon these civil servants. When Karenin was still governor of other places, the officials in the Yamen were very United because they had no foundation and fighting spirit.

After the arrival of Karenin, the political achievements were very prominent, which even more highlighted the incompetence of these people.

Generally speaking, people with principles like Karenin would be severely excluded, but in fact, Karenin handled the relations in the Yamen with ease, of course, on the surface.

The mediocre officials foolishly accepted Karenin's overtures, believing in him and not thinking about why. Such people are harmless, but Karenin knew that they were also vulnerable to provocation. They are the minor roles in the official system, but they are also the huge cornerstone. It is very necessary to seduce them.

The other kind of people is a little bit clever, this kind of person is very deceitful. On the surface, you may be brother-in-law, and you will be able to talk about friendship for half a lifetime with a glass of vodka, but this kind of person is also the most ruthless. So we need to be careful.

In the middle of January, Karenin met a German diplomat and his wife came.

Mr. massage is a little fat, but he is tall, so he looks ok. Contrary to the stereotype of the British's excessive Gentlemanliness, Mr. massachy's somewhat round face is indeed pleasing, with a pair of very divine brown eyes under his bushy eyebrows, which is not easy to fool. But the conversation was cordial.

And his wife, Mrs. massage, was a tall woman. The latter's hair is deep gold, face is long, nose is a little narrow but very high, she looks like the kind of person who is easy to focus on one thing, when she laughs, there are a little lines on the corner of her mouth, but it doesn't make people feel old.

The couple's performance seems to have nothing to do with reserve and reserve. At least, although Madame massachy looks like a noble lady and she tries to maintain this image, her husband always makes it collapse intentionally or unintentionally.

I will not discuss all of them.

Karenin had already made an investigation into Mr. massach and his wife.

He knew that they were married three years ago. This Mr. masacchi was only 27 years old. He was obviously just an ordinary diplomat, but his personal business was huge. This involves some sensitive areas.

Most people want to please this person, but he has a strange temperament and looks very friendly. After drinking several bottles of wine with you, he has said all kinds of heartbreaking words. But if you really want to ask him for some advantages, you will get a lot of ridicule.

Just like now, the conversation between them is quite pleasant, but when it comes to some problems, both sides are insistent. As soon as it was about twelve o'clock, Karenin simply changed the subject and took the opportunity to invite them to have lunch together. The massaches readily agreed.

Karenin had already explained to his secretary that he would book a restaurant in advance. He did not ask what the restaurant would look like. After all, if such matters were to be considered by him, what else would he need a secretary to do.

Although vorobev's character is not very good and some people are mercenary, he is indeed a smart man. After receiving Karenin's instructions, he finished the matter immediately. The result was as good as he expected. Therefore, Karenin was very satisfied.

Compared with stupid and honest people, Karenin preferred intelligent people in officialdom. Although this kind of people are also more cunning and less loyal. But as long as you don't want to fantastically tame a fox and make it loyal like a wolf dog. Give the fox enough bait. In the short term, it will always be at your disposal.

When they got to the dining room and took their seats, Karenin saw that Madame massachi whispered a few words to her husband, and then Mr. massachi said to Karenin with a private smile.

"Dear Mr. Karenin, my wife is very curious where you bought this scarf."

Karenin took a look at his scarf. The scarf, which was dark blue and had his initials embroidered with silver silk thread, was the one Anna had given him.

Karenin told the other party, "in fact, it's not bought from anywhere. This scarf was made by my wife

Both of them were somewhat surprised, especially the Mrs. massage.

Men may not pay much attention to these, but Mrs. massache, after all, is a member of the upper class circle in Germany. What they usually contact most is clothes and other things. She likes this unique thing best, so she can see that the craft of this scarf is first-class.

Whether it is the color matching, or those fine and complex and low-key lines, the design of the whole scarf can be said to be very beautiful."I see that the silver thread seems to be more than just a pattern." Mrs. massache pointed it out.

"If you're curious about this, my wife says it's my initials."

Once again, Mrs. massachy was amazed.

"The originality of Dorje "I've never seen anyone embroider their initials on scarves before," she said. I know a lot of scarves on silk handkerchief? I've never seen such an ingenious idea, let alone her slightly designed fonts. "

"I really want to feel it, if you don't mind." Said Madame massache.

Karenin felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately Mr. masaqi stopped his wife's action.

He deliberately said to his wife in a somewhat discontented tone, "what do you say? Do you think I will allow you to touch other men's scarves?"

Madame massache blushed a little, and she apologized to Karenin.

"Look at me, I just can't take my eyes off these delicate things. Please forgive my rudeness Her eyes brightened up because she saw what she was interested in. Now, her face became more vivid and her facial features became more beautiful.

The bright eyes reminded Karenin of a man, so he almost unconsciously said the following words.

"You don't have to apologize. It's nothing, ma'am." Karenin said that in order to ease the conversation.

The round faced German diplomat suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "my wife has such a hobby. Sometimes, if she meets something she likes, she completely forgets my husband. So I always have to remind her

Madame massache stares at her husband with a blush, but the latter looks at him innocently.

"Don't you forget that when we took bond for a walk in London street last month, you lost bond and me because you were obsessed with clothes from Gypsy girls?" The round faced man looked discontented.

"You know I don't know where I'm going. Bond had a cold and a stuffy nose that day. Her sense of smell was like Mrs. Riley. She couldn't tell white pepper powder from black pepper powder, otherwise we wouldn't eat so much dark food. To tell you the truth, I even suspect that Mrs. Riley is responsible for our poor impression of food. And bond and I believed you so much that we didn't even bring my old housekeeper, who had been my guide until you married me

Mr. masacchi seemed to have been opened up to complain. He frowned and began to turn over the old scores like a well built woman in a slum in her forties.

"To tell you the truth, what's the use of studying them? You don't want to show them to me..."

"That's enough." Mrs. massage could not help but stop her husband. She hissed, "it's not at home."

Mr. massage closed his mouth, looking aggrieved.

At first, this Mr. masaqi was a little surprised that he openly revealed his love for his wife, but his chatter later made him understand. After all, he had been engaged in political conversation for so many years, so he still turned the topic back to business.

Karenin's silence was yes. Mr. masaqi secretly praised him, but to be honest, what he said was sincere.

His wife is wonderful, OK!

Although she lost herself and bond, they could go back on their own!

…… It's just, it may take a while, but now he can find someone to take him to the police station in half an hour!

That afternoon, Karenin pondered over today's affairs in his office. He carefully pondered how to finalize the matter to his satisfaction.

He told vorobev about it, but the latter said, "to tell you the truth, sir, I don't think that Mr. massachy is special. I saw him drink a lot of wine at the lunch party, and I also heard that this man likes to collect wine. I think we can give him some heart. "

Karenin took a look at his secretary, because at this time, the evaluation of vorobev's cleverness dropped a lot. However, he did not directly criticize his subordinates, just calmly said: "think again, maybe you have better suggestions."

Vorobev left Karenin's office, but the expression on his face was not very good.

Looking at the door, he thought angrily, "what's the difference between me and him? In terms of talent, I will not yield to him."

"Of course, of course you are." Vorobev's heart had a shrill voice catering to him, so at last he raised his hand with satisfaction and gently smoothed the hem of his uniform to make it more comfortable.

He left the door of Karenin's office with pride, and did not really pay attention to Karenin's words.Behind the door, Karenin only thought about vorobev for a moment when he left, and then his mind turned to Mr. massach.

For the time being, Karenin did not come up with a better idea. He looked at his pocket watch, and it was ten minutes later than the usual time to leave work. So he did not delay any more. He cleaned up and was ready to go home.

After Karenin came home, Anna noticed that the other party seemed to have something to say to her.

"What do you want to say to me?" Anna asked with a smile. She was surprised to see Karenin and satisfied.

"I like the feeling of being able to guess what you're thinking." She said with a smile.

Karenin told his wife about the day, and he conveyed the praise of Mrs. massache for Anna's craftsmanship.

Anna blinked and asked, "this diplomacy is very important, isn't it?"

"Yes." Karenin said, and then want to change the topic, work, he can't say too much to his wife. But his wife burst out laughing.

"I have an idea."

"What?" Karenin asked.
