This is a burglar badge. What else can Anna do? She just nods with a smile.
They are not going to announce it on the spot now because Karenin said it would damage Anna's reputation.
Reputation, yes, this man takes it very seriously. It's a small stereotype, but it doesn't hurt.
"I'll be waiting for you the day after tomorrow." Anna said.
Karenin nodded slightly: "tomorrow I will send someone to deliver the letter of visit. I should have been a week ahead of schedule, but considering that I would not be in Moscow for long. I mean, if you think it's a good time to get married, I'll have to go to France on business for a month the next day
"I think the sooner the better." Anna blinked and then asked, "if you're going to France, can I follow you?"
"It is not without precedent. Yes, if you like. It's just, "Karenin pauses." I still think that such a hasty marriage will make you uncomfortable. "
"No, not at all."
Anna put her hands on her cheek, and she always seemed so happy, as if she were not making an impulsive decision, as if they had known each other for a long time.
"I'd love to follow you anywhere." She whispered deliberately, in a seductive tone.
Karenin coughed a little unnaturally.
"In fact, I mean it. Considering that you and I are going to travel from Moscow to Petersburg after we get married, it may be uncomfortable for you to stay alone. "
"I like your idea."
Anna praised straightforwardly. "I want a husband to think about his wife at any time and express that he needs her."
After Anna said that, she saw the man staring at her for a while. She was not afraid or shy, but Frank. At last, she laughed again.
"I see."
What she did not know was that after her first request to Karenin was not met, the gentleman had always taken her words to heart. In his well-organized mind, she constantly revised some rules and ideas because of her fantastic ideas, so that the people of their two eras were able to keep consistent.
And Anna doesn't know all this now.
"In the end, maybe you'll call me Anna instead of miss oberonski?" Anna licked her lips and asked again, which fully showed her stubborn character.
"As I said before, I will change my name only when God has confirmed that they are the closest beings to each other." Karenin said quietly. Then he stood up, approached Anna, took the back of each other's hands and gave a kiss.
"Please be ready, miss oberonski."
After confirming one thing, Karenin was the kind of person who would not retreat, and his momentum that he could not retreat in politics was unconsciously put into the present day.
He finally took a look at Anna, slightly thicker than the upper lip of the lower lip gently pursed, eyelashes droop, raised the blue eyes like a low-key gem, so easily hit her heart.
"I will." A smile rose from the corners of her mouth, she replied.
Anna was sitting in the carriage with her brother and sister-in-law, Tao Li, who had been married two months ago.
Tao Li is the eldest daughter of the family of the Duke of sherbatsky, who is a very famous family in Moscow. It is also a well-off marriage. Like other political marriages, husband and wife do not come together because of love, but they still have a good life.
"I find you're in a good mood, Anna. Have you had any fun?" Asked Tao Li.
Before she got married, she was worried about whether she could get on well with her sister-in-law, but later she found that she was too thoughtful. Her husband's sister was a gentle girl. There has been a change in her character since she got better, but skyward says it's better. Because obviously, Anna became more cheerful.
"Yes, tell me what happened to you, Anna."
Skyward blinked his sister's gray eyes. He was not thirty years old. He was well proportioned. He was peaceful and friendly.
"I don't want to say, tomorrow, you will know." Anna blinked.
"We are so curious about you." Tao Li smiles.
"If she's not willing to say it, then we shouldn't be questioning any more, honey." Skywalker and Tao.
He didn't mean to blame his wife, but Tori was a sensitive woman. Fortunately, skyward was an optimistic person. He said something else, which made her leave the matter quickly.
Anna didn't listen to her brother. Although it was night, she felt like a happy bird, eager to fly to her own sky.
In this era, the fresh air, although there are many suppression, but the future is so clear, let people want to pursue.With such expectation and full of joy and hope, at ten o'clock the next morning, Karenin's letter of visit arrived.
"Alexey Alexandrovich Karenin?"
Anna's present aunt, Duchess of Tellier, is a stern woman. She is not thin, even a little fat, but she always makes people feel cold and hard in her beautiful face.
This is very different from Karenin.
The Duchess of Tellier is like a machine, and the program is to maintain the honor of the family. So she arranged for Anna's elder brother, skiva, to choose the eldest daughter of the Duke of Sheba tsky. She had planned to arrange Anna's marriage, but now, something seems to have changed. As long as there are girls to be married in the family, the answer is self-evident when any distinguished gentleman comes to visit.
"Anna, do you know this great Karenin?"
Naturally, Mrs. Tellier knew about Karenin. Even though she was a widow who had lost her husband in her early years, she had always known the political celebrities.
"We had a conversation at the dance yesterday." Anna answered softly. No way, the old lady is not a good match at first sight. She doesn't want to involve herself in this series of explanations.
Mrs. Tellier asked the high servant next to her to bring her one-sided glasses and read the invitation carefully.
Half an hour later, she asked her servants to deliver the letter to Karenin's place of residence. During this period, she and Anna no longer have a conversation, even if they are talking about her as the main character.
Mrs. Tellier did not have the habit of consulting with others, and Anna and skyward's parents died early. She was in charge of everything. She didn't intend to inform him about it, but her own grandson and granddaughter let it slip.
"Aunt Anna is going to get married!"
The two bear children were noisy, and skyward's face turned red.
"Don't talk nonsense. Stop talking." Tao Li said that the two children were more diligent because of the adults' reaction.
"Shut up!" Skier scolded his two nephews in a rare voice.
The children were terrified, and they cried out. One by one, they went to their mother to complain.
Instead of paying attention to the two bear children, skyward looked at Anna and said, "what's going on?" Instead of being angry with Anna, he was close to mumbling.
"I don't know. Maybe you can ask your aunt." Anna said slowly.
"Of course I will ask her." Scuiva murmured again, and crept into Mrs. Tellier's study, leaving behind dolly and Anna.
After all, Tao Li is a woman, a little more careful. She said carefully, "if I am not mistaken, that great man Karenin may have come to propose."
"Maybe." Anna said, deliberately reserved.
Tao Li knew she shouldn't have asked, but she asked, "what do you think if it's true?"
"It won't be too bad. He's a rare gentleman."
After all, only from the perspective of the conditions, this is also a proper marriage, but more or less, thinking that Anna and the husband are 14 years old, she felt more or less happy about her marriage.
It wasn't long before skyward came out, looking a little dejected, perhaps reprimanded. He looked at his sister.
Anna stepped forward and said, "don't frown, skyer."
"Anna, would you like it?"
"Skier." Tao Li said in a low voice, trying to stop her husband from speaking so frankly.
Once a woman gets married, no matter whether the other party is good or bad, she will always put the man in her own protection territory, and even ignore the fact that he may not be so good, and maybe he does not need such maintenance.
"Can we wait for tomorrow? Skier. " Anna said sincerely.
Skyward always had no choice but to take his sister, so he had to mumble again.
It was night, in front of his desk, the man pressed his right hand on the paper, half closed his eyes and looked at the paper. Finally, he gave a slight smile. Take up the pen and write on the paper again. Pen writing on parchment "brush" sound, seems to be and drunk, in the night, become more thick and intoxicating
First of all, she is not a princess and Karenin is not a prince.
It's strange that, perhaps in other people's eyes, this is an aristocratic luxury wedding, while in Anna's view, it is just that she is about to marry the person she likes.
Although it was her wedding, she was not allowed to express too much opinion.
Now that she has such a secure status, she must make some sacrifice. It didn't pay to fight, and she had never experienced such a wedding. In such a good mood, they finally got almost everything ready and took the train to Petersburg.Anna's maid, anuska, looked more nervous than Anna herself. She had come for the third time to ask if Anna wanted a drink.
"Sit down and have a rest, anuska." Anna said with a smile.
Anuska took a hard breath and said, "Miss, I can't really sit down."
"Oh, then you will stand for a moment." Anna said deliberately. Anuska took a look at her. Along with getting along with Anna, she has now opened up a lot, but still retains the duty that a maid should have and will not violate.
During this period, Tao Li always came to accompany her to relieve her boredom. They said a lot of things. The original intention of Tao Li is to comfort Anna and keep her in a good mood for her marriage, but in the end, she finds that no matter what she says, Anna is a happy look.
Despite her curiosity, Tori is not skyward, and her good upbringing prevents her from directly asking Anna why.
Now and then, as if it had not been for him to object to the marriage, he had been in a happy mood.
Anna likes skyward, his big smile and his little jokes.
Although Anna's cousin, Dunia, is the eldest daughter of a large family, she is not very generous. Especially after she married a weak husband, she does not like Anna who still has numerous choices. But now, look at their endings. Even though her husband is cowardly, she is still young. The man who is going to be Anna's husband is old and rigid.
Because of this comparison, Dunia always looked at Anna with a kind of aloofness and sympathy.
Anna doesn't take these things to heart. She didn't have to be angry at people like Dunia. She just had to think about her wedding and the man who was going to be her husband.
The train clattered through Moscow and, after a tiring journey, took them to Petersburg.
When they got off the train, they soon saw Karenin and his servants.
Karenin didn't dress up to the eye. He was wearing a civilian uniform that he didn't have time to change after work. He was wearing a dark woolen overcoat. His uniform trousers covered his socks properly. He didn't wear a hat, perhaps to make it easier for Anna and them to see him.
The cold wind made Karenin's hair a little disordered. When Anna saw him, he was still looking, but before long, his eyes were locked on her. So she showed a sweet smile in the crowd. Even if it is covered under the hat of the grid, the smile is still like a ray of sunshine, lighting up the whole space in an instant.
Karenin pressed down some palpitating thoughts in his heart, and he stepped up quickly.
According to the reception process, he first exchanged greetings with Madame Terrier, followed by his brother-in-law, and finally his little wife.
Anna can't talk too much with Karenin. She knows it's some kind of rule. Even if they're going to be married in the next hour, they're not allowed to be too intimate as long as they haven't.
perhaps in this era of people, this is noble and reserved and elegant, but Anna can not help but make complaints about it, after all, it is her and his wedding, is not it?
But no matter how dissatisfied, she has to accept the reality.
They went to the best hotel in Petersburg in the coach arranged by Karenin, and their wedding was less than three days away.
After returning them to their respective rooms, anuska told Anna that Karenin had left.
Anna made an ugly look, she sighed, and soon there was a knock at the door. Anuska answers the door.
"Who is it?" Anna asked.
"It's for you to stop sighing." Anuska covered his mouth and laughed.
Anna's eyes brightened when she saw the letter.
She opened the letter, took out a piece of paper, the familiar font into her eyes, and finally attracted her Chi Chi Chi Chi smile.
Anuska did not inquire what the gentleman had written to his young lady. She was a good maid, and she sat in her chair and continued to weave.
In those three days, according to the tradition, they were not allowed to meet, but no one stipulated that they could not communicate by letter!
Anna traced Karenin's face in her heart, and finally marked the word "cunning" on the man's nose, which made her giggle.
On the day before their marriage, Russian men have their own last single night celebration.
Karenin's dictionary does not intend to hold these, but who let his brother-in-law most willing to follow these traditions? All in all, skiwai arranged a celebration for Karenin's last single night, which belonged to a young man in his twenties.
All the people who came to Karenin knew it, but they were not very familiar with it. After all, such a big man as Karenin knows a lot of people, but few of them can attend such celebrations as friends.
So in the end, the party, which was launched for Karenin, ended with several drunkards crying and laughing at the table.
