Chapter 92

Karenin has always been a calm man, or, to put it another way, he is always too calm.

When Karenin was young, it might have been easy for people to stir up his emotions, but when he was in a high position, his eyes and brows were not green and childish, it was really very difficult.

In addition to one person, or this person, because of the influence of such and other relations on Karenin, sometimes he is a little unconventional and stubborn.

"I'm scheduled to go on a business trip with stremov next week."

At breakfast, Karenin said this, because last night he had to deal with some business, and Anna went to bed on time at his request.

"What kind of man is Mr. streimov?" Anna asked. Because she thought for a moment, she had never heard of such a colleague beside Karenin, although she did not know much about it.

When she asked, Karenin stopped and the fried egg was held by a fork.

"Should be classified as someone I don't like." Karenin said calmly.

Anna felt more curious after hearing this. After all, there were very few people who could be evaluated as disliked by Karenin and those he liked.

After Karenin left, Anna decided to ask the housekeeper korny.

"It is clear that Mr. streimov's honor is not directly proportional to his character." That's what Colney said.

Many of the old housekeeper's temperament and character are similar to those of Karenin. It can be said that he is a rare and upright servant, neither arrogant nor timid.

Therefore, when she met Mr. stremov, Anna had already, in her heart, somewhat biased, blamed the gentleman as a man of less integrity.

In the afternoon, Anna finally met the gentleman.

Good day, Mrs. Karenin

Anna accepted Mr. streimov's greetings and looked at each other carefully and carefully.

Streimov was also a tall, strong man with a beautiful moustache, very fashionable, but not too out of court. He looked a year or two younger than Karenin, but he was in a high position.

Although Anna and the gentleman had only one or two conversations, we could see that the other was a pleasant person.

Karenin's expression was always light. He took streimov to the study. Anna noticed that it was the study he used to receive visitors.

Perhaps others will only think that Karenin's mood at the moment is just the same as usual, but Anna feels that the former is in a kind of irritability.

It seems that I don't like three words. I have to add some adjectives to streimov.

Anna takes her eyes back.

At dinner, they entertained Mr. streimov, who constantly praised the food's delicacy, and appropriately complimented the host and hostess. After a meal, it looked like the host and the guest enjoyed themselves. But when the other party left, Karenin said that the weather was hot and he needed some ice water.

"I didn't hear him complain at the hottest time." Anna thought, and then took over the affairs of anushika, brought ice water for Karenin, and put lemon on it.

"I only want ice water." Karenin frowned. He was like a child's willful temper.

The servants in this house never dare to speculate on the master's ideas at will. Usually, if Karenin tells them to do something, they will just do it honestly.

After such a long marriage, Anna also knew this, and at the same time realized Karenin's tolerance for her. Most of the time, Anna will use her own way to understand Karenin's meaning, for example, although she knows that he is not so fond of sweet food, occasionally she also wants to let him have a taste.

"Well, no lemon slices." Anna said with a good temper, and took off the lemon slice, carefully placed it in front of Karenin, and finally raised her hand, holding up Karenin's right hand, as if he were a baby, and needed to be treated very carefully.

Karenin realized something and coughed a little awkwardly.

"Lemon slices are nothing." Karenin said. He added up the slices of lemon and drank it slowly, while Anna just looked at him with a smile.

The ice water played some drops in the glass, and Karenin seemed to calm down. He closed his eyes and whispered, "Anna."

"What's the matter?" Anna had been a little tired sitting on the chair, now heard Karenin's call, subconsciously straightened up, slightly toward the direction of each other, should.

She looked at Karenin, but the latter didn't say anything, and Anna thought she might understand.

"Maybe I don't think so, but..." She laughed in a low voice, and then, as Karenin looked at her, she got up and went to each other and gave him a hug.

She felt that Karenin's body was a little stiff, that is to say, maybe the latter did not intend to get a comforting hug from her, but as long as it was not pushed away, it was nothing to be capricious occasionally? Anna thought."Alexis, because we are two people after all, I can't fully understand what you think. So sometimes, I may act directly with my own understanding. Maybe some are right, some are wrong, but I hope you can tell me when I'm wrong

"I'm your wife. You can always tell me."

After Anna finished, her right hand gently stroked Karenin's hair.

After all, it's summer. When the skin touches each other, it's always uncomfortable and sticky. And always do not like the hot summer man, but did not push the woman away, but raised his hands, gently embrace the past.

"Why don't you like stredemov?" Anna asked.

"In fact, I was curious in the morning." Anna said to herself, "I went to ask corney, and he means it seems that Mr. streimov is not an honest man."

"Yes." Karenin replied that his mood seemed to be getting worse again.

"Streimov is nothing special." Karenin let go of his hand. When he talked about something, he used to let himself be alone, so as not to interfere with his judgment.

Anna didn't care. She pulled up her chair and sat next to Karenin.

"But," Karenin pondered for a moment, and there was hardly a trace of contempt and anger in his blue eyes. "A man like him, who can only speak empty words and beautiful words, has come along smoothly with his empty brain. And those who are really talented and knowledgeable can only be trampled on the ground. "

By the time he said this, Karenin was already a little excited. Realizing this, he pressed his finger with his hand to calm him down.

Anna noticed this. She raised her hand and gently covered the back of Karenin's hand.

The soft feeling made Karenin recover from the silence. For a long time, he took out his left hand which was under him, and took Anna's hand gently.

It was still hot, a little bit sweaty, but he didn't care.

"It's very irrational." Karenin himself reflected that in the past, these activities and comments only existed in his own mind, not exposed to anyone. Because he is used to solving these problems alone.

Whether it was the early death of his parents or brothers, although Karenin was already an adult who had experienced a lot of storms, he still had a bit of natural sensitivity in his heart.

As a powerful official, Karenin must keep these things secret, including his tears to women and children, which are easily intolerable.

But for now, he decided to talk to his wife.

"I understand these things better than anyone else. If a person is really talented and competent for this position, he will succeed. And a man who only has knowledge, but lacks ambition and means, even if he gets this position, he can't accomplish anything. "

"In this way, people like streimov are not worthless." Karenin said calmly, as if he were persuading some sense of justice in his bones. However, his words and expression are a little mismatched, strangely with some irony.

Anna thinks that Karenin is like a teenager now. She seldom sees each other so dispassionate. However, she feels that this brings her a happy mood. In a sense, yes, the sense of dependence and trust made Anna happy.

She felt sorry for the joy in her heart, for her husband was really in a bad mood.

So she kisses him.

In his stunned eyes, Anna knew she was gentle.

Since their marriage, as a wife, the innocence and cunning, even impulse and complacency of the little girl in her heart have become less and less. Tenderness and compassion will gradually breed in her heart.

"There's nothing wrong with that." Anna said in a casual tone, but with a certain firmness.

Like a doting parent, she said deliberately and very favorably, "in my opinion, Mr. streimov's rhetoric is really not worthy of his present position."

"He has got so much power, but will he do something for the people?"

"I don't mean that a man like Mr. streimov is not worthy of wealth or power. I just want to make it clear that if this position requires such a person, then Mr. streimov is obviously not suitable for it. "

How could such a wise man like Karenin not understand Anna's biased words? He even felt that the words were obviously unfair.

He should have pointed it out, but there seemed to be a lump in the throat of the official to stop him.

In the end, he nodded a little, rarely in this apparently dispassionate, rational assessment, in favor of his wife.
