Chapter 56

The clock struck the hour.

Alexei got up and said, "I'm going to bed, Aunt Anna."

"Well, if you need anything, you can come to me or anushika and they."

Alexei gave a light answer to understand.

After the boy was sent to the bedroom door, Anna said good night to each other before leaving.

She came to Karenin's private study, knocked on the door, got the voice of consent before entering.

She closed the door of her study gently and approached her husband, who seemed to have just finished his work.

"Have you finished your work?"

"Yes." Karenin tidied up his desk.

Anna won't help him at this time. On the issue of official business, Anna would not touch each other's things without Karenin's request.

"I'm curious what you said to Alexei." Anna asked sweetly. With my right hand on the desk, I'm really curious now, and I have to hear the answer.

Karenin was no exception to his wife.

In the past, he would have stopped carefully and answered her questions attentively, but now he is used to satisfying her curiosity while doing his own things.

He got up to put the papers on the hidden side of the shelf, and Anna followed him like a small tug.

"I told him that he could stay in Petersburg if he chose to go to the Academy I had arranged for him." Karenin stopped for a moment, and his long, strong finger moved the book and put the documents in exactly the right order.

"And, I don't want to hear bad news."

"But what if he was bullied?" Anna asked deliberately.

Then she saw her husband turn around and look at her after he finished his work, his blue eyes twinkled with indescribable emotion, and finally, like surrender.

"Anna, I'm saying don't let me hear you." After that, Anna got a look of blame.

Karenin then went to the direction of his desk, put some letters in categories, and said casually, "no matter where they are, there will always be things to deal with. It's the same even for people who have family patronage. It's just that the way they deal with it is different. "

"It is inevitable that there will be some collisions and frictions in places like military academies, which are different from traditional boarding schools. No matter whether he is young and vigorous or his family background, since he has chosen this road, he will inevitably be provoked again in the future. "

"It's obviously unreasonable to let him be patient. In recent years, he has always learned something about self-protection. "

With this sentence landing, Karenin just closed the drawer.

"Before, did you do the same?" Anna asked in a soft voice.

She likes to know everything about Karenin, both good and bad.

The bad part is always hard, which means more heavy emotions and more heartache. But the more she understood the past, Anna felt she could find a better way to treat her husband.

Life is still very long, friction is inevitable.

But instead of becoming confused and confused at that time, Anna would like to know in advance how to solve and pacify.

"It's not that bad, Anna. I'm not in the position of Alexei

Karenin's voice was quiet.

He took Anna's hand and asked her to sit opposite, but was gently refused by the latter.

"I'll stand." Anna said with a smile that sometimes she liked the height.

Because of her height, Anna spent most of her time looking up to her husband.

Looking up means more reverence. At the same time, Anna also knows that the people who are looked up to also bear more responsibilities.

No man likes to look up to his own sex.

But no matter who, or most men, have looked up to a woman.

That's the mother.

That means dependence and trust.

At such a time, Anna hopes to be someone who can make Karenin feel trusted. Her secret idea had not been told to anyone, nor had Karenin. More often than not, he persuades her to sit down, or, by gently wringing his eyebrows, allows her to be eccentric.

At this time, he was also like ordinary men, a little bit of smiling dullness.

However, it may be that the night is too gentle tonight, or it may be because of the long separation.

The adult, who was always too rigid and serious, suddenly did something that moved Anna.

Anna was standing in front of Karenin.

After the latter sat down, he did not open his mouth as usual, nor did he gently twist his eyebrows. He just raised his right hand and put Anna's overlapping hands in front of his abdomen into his hands.

"A little cold?"Karenin asked, and raised her other hand, drawing Anna closer to herself until Anna's knee touched the other's.

"No Well, a little bit? " Anna froze for a moment and then gave another question.

Karenin took a look at her, frowned slightly, and finally let go.

"I hope you really keep your word when you're at skyward's, Anna." He said, almost with a sigh.

Anna then smiles and lets each other warm her hands.

"I always take care of myself as much as I can when I'm alone, but," she said shyly after a pause. "When I'm at home, I can't help but neglect."

"It's very irrational." Karenin said that he was almost completely puzzled by customs. Instead of raising his eyes to look at his wife, he looked at her hands carefully to see if they were frostbitten.

Anna this little love words did not bring more romantic words, but for her, the palm temperature has exceeded everything.

After the last cold, Anna received a telegram from Karenin's sister.

In fact, it was their nephew Andre who wanted to come to Petersburg to see his good friend Charlie.

So Anna had an idea.

"Do you have any plans for this holiday? Alexis. "

"There is a schedule. But you can spare a day. What's the matter? " Karenin asked.

Anna wanted to forget it when she heard about it, but she told her other party what she thought.

"Now that Andre will come the day after tomorrow, Charlie's parents will send him over, and Alexei, we're going to host three little boys at once. It's not right to keep them in this house. "

"So?"

"So what if I take the children to a villa in the country for a few days? I'll take anuska with them. "

When she got married, Anna was fully aware of Karenin's property because it was written on a roll of parchment.

The villa in the countryside was not Karenin's only property, and it was not the best, but there was also a large forest there, which was just right to go there this season.

"I think it is feasible. I'll make it in the afternoon. " Karenin nodded and agreed to the decision.

"And your arrangement?"

"There's no need to worry about it. Anna and I don't have to worry about it. It's not a matter of time. It's not an empty day for me and Anna." Karenin said that he had already made a general arrangement for the meeting.

"It's very thoughtful of you, Alexis." Anna gave Karenin a kiss on the cheek, laughed, and told him that she was going to tell Alexei about it.

Karenin looked at his wife's back and took a moment to take back his sight.

His wife's voice is still in his ears, gentle, full of thanks, sincere.

What is the so-called marriage? This is what the big man thinks.

You have nothing to lose, but you have a wife.

She loves you and brings more to your life.

She loves your loved ones, becomes the hostess of your family and keeps your life in order.

Your relatives, you originally maintain a stable frequency of contact with them, with a kind address and appropriate greetings, the relationship between you is not strong but warm.

But now.

The letters you receive begin with dear XX and become dear XX and XX.

You are mentioned less frequently in letters, and your sister asks more about your wife. And then, slowly, there are letters for your wife.

She's so easy to get into your life. Love your loved ones and turn your life into her own.

And you don't even realize such a change, until one day, she has to take care of your relatives and have to disturb your work, your arrangement, you will suddenly realize what she has done for you.

Thinking of this, Karenin's hands left the document.

He folded his hands in a meditative position.

Those who do not know the truth may think that the chief executive is thinking about an important political decision, at least one that will directly affect a province.

But in fact, Karenin only suddenly realized that he did not seem to have done anything for his wife.

Well, Karenin thought, let's do it for the time being.

After returning from the Department in the evening, Karenin got out of the carriage at the exact time without any delay.

He laughed at Peter's meaning, but he didn't care.

Karenin returned to the hall with precise and steady steps.

Colney took his coat, he was loosening his cuffs, and saw his wife come down the escalator.She was wearing the light green satin skirt she had seen in the day, but now she had an embroidered bright yellow shawl.

Some curly black hair down, with a silver ribbon slightly tied up, put aside, when looking at him, slender neck as beautiful as a swan.

"Welcome home."

Said his wife, his gray eyes shining like stars in the night sky. The corners of the lips are curved, tender as red tassels.

The housekeeper left and the servants were doing their own business.

Karenin also went to his wife and stood still. After blinking, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips and said, "I'll stay with you for three days, Anna." ( )
