A Noble Marriage - Chapter 104
This is the anti-theft chapter. The flower boys scatter flowers in front of her, while the older children hold the skirt for Anna. At the moment, her eyes were full of Karenin, so that after the wedding, she always wondered why she didn’t worry about tripping over her skirt or saying the wrong oath.
The melody of the eulogy was graceful and wonderful. Anna felt that the red carpet was a little too long, as if she was suffering from breathing until she finally came to the other party.
Karenin was a head taller than Anna, so Anna had to look up at him.
She looked at each other’s outstretched eyebrows and his pale blue eyes. Everything was the way she liked it.
So even though she knew it wasn’t allowed, Anna couldn’t help but whisper, “I’m here.”
At this moment, the boundary of time seems to be blurred. In Anna’s eyes, the two eras of Karenin overlapped, so that she laughed contentedly.
Karenin was a little surprised when he heard the unexpected words, but then, after seeing the satisfied and happy expression on the other side’s face, everything was not important.
His bride is so beautiful.
The headdress made of orange blossom was decorated with her black hair, her slender eyebrows curved in a good-looking curve, and her big eyes with thick eyelashes contained a continuous love. Even if the iron hearted people saw it, they had to voluntarily fall into this love net.
Karenin pursed his lips. He had to restrain himself.
The priest began to read the libretto, and Anna and Karenin stood in their seats until the ring exchange step was taken before turning again to face each other.
Anna reached out her hand, her slender and pale fingers were wrapped in the most fashionable lace gloves, showing only a faint and delicate skin.
Karenin, with his white gloved left hand, took the other’s hand. He took out the ring and put it slowly and solemnly over Anna’s finger.
Anna looked down at the wedding ring of her own. It was an old ring. With the texture of ruby, she had some years. It seemed that every ray of light was engraved with the lines of the times.
This is a ring belonging to the Karenin family. It was worn by the couple of the previous generation or even the previous generation. Some feelings and blessings have been engraved in the ring for a long time. Now, it is passed on to their descendants.
The strong feeling of the years made Anna feel a little moved, so when she looked up at Karenin, her eyes became bright again.
Karenin could not see the tears of women or children, which was a secret weakness of him. Tears can make him feel uncomfortable and make him unable to think rationally.
Now seeing his bride’s tears, he can’t run away rigidly, he has to face it bravely.
Karenin didn’t know why he felt so sorry for each other. Clearly, she was a healthy woman, and she was not petite. But at the moment of seeing her tears, he felt that if he did not protect her, even the air would hurt her.
Therefore, the official, who had always been strict with the rules, broke his own rules. He took off the gloves of his right hand and wiped the bright tears for his bride with his fingertips.
“Don’t cry.”
Said Karenin in a low voice.
At this moment, he didn’t pay attention to the voice of the crowd around him. In his pale blue eyes, there was only his bride. His, fragile, beautiful, must be protected and appeased by him.
“Yes.”
Anna answered, smiling, and then shyly, she took out the wedding ring belonging to Karenin so that the ceremony could continue.
Then she found that the ring was so kind.
The best sapphire is inlaid in a silver ring with complicated lines carved around it. The interface is wider than that of a lady’s wedding ring. It is grand and noble.
Anna smiles. She takes Karenin’s left hand and firmly puts the ring on each other’s ring finger.
She did not immediately let go, but a little appreciation, now, Anna’s heart is full of satisfaction, because she has determined one thing. That is, whether it is now or in the future, this man belongs to her.
“Take the ring as evidence, so you can’t escape.” Anna whispered. Only Karenin could hear it.
He didn’t know why she said that, but it didn’t matter. The important thing is that she is right in front of him and belongs to him.
The priest had finished the eulogy, and the priest began the last blessing with the Bible in his hand.
The priests announced their blessings from God in a psalmic voice, and at the last moment, when the emotions of all the people were brewing, their beautiful and gentle bride suddenly called out in that emotional, sweet voice, “wait a minute!”
The rhythm suddenly stops, and everyone looks at the bride. There are noisy voices whispering, and some even wonder whether the bride has turned back.
Karenin’s face did not change. He was very calm. His blue eyes looked down at his bride, waiting for her to speak.
Anna smiles. She says in a soft voice, “before, my fiance gave me a gift, which moved me very much. Now, I want to give him a gift in return.”The priest never encountered this situation, but he was an experienced priest. He observed the bride and groom, especially the groom. Finally, he decided to let the bride fulfill her wish with the most generous heart.
“Please complete it on this solemn occasion, bride.”
The priest’s permission made the crowd quiet again.
Anna looked at the priest gratefully, then turned to her bridegroom, with a big smile on her lips and a soft, sweet voice spread through the church.
“Marriage is a solemn thing for me. Two people who love each other as one, no matter when they are born, old or dead, they should never give up. They should tolerate each other and trust each other. They should bear and enjoy life together. If I find this person in front of me, I will seize him at all costs and “hold the hand of my son and grow old with my son.”
She pauses for a moment, and then continues to speak with emotion.
“The two of us are going to get married. In the future, whether we are healthy or ill, whether we are happy or miserable, we should care about each other. We are not one person, but two people. We will work hard and we will be happy. We will go to the end of the world in this way.”
When the bride’s words are over, thunderous applause rings out, and others are cheering regardless of reserve.
No matter how noisy the scene is, Karenin’s eyes are only his own bride. He remembered that two weeks ago, she handed herself a piece of paper with ten reasons why they had to get married:
there was a basic material economy as the basis.
Accept each other’s family.
Each other can firmly support each other.
Each other can be tolerant.
They have similar interests.
Each other has a spirit of dedication and sacrifice.
It’s easy to communicate with each other.
Each other can fully understand trust.
There are common values in life.
We are good friends.
These ten conditions moved him. Karenin always thought that what his mother had told about love was a white lie. After all, who in the world knows you better than yourself?
People get along with each other, no matter how close they are, as long as they are infected with love or love, they will become possessive and jealous, and no matter which one is related to tolerance.
He thought that he would not meet such a person, and that day, so suddenly, she bumped into his hand and looked at you with those beautiful eyes, as if to say, “I am happiness, I have worked hard to come to your side, are you ready to refuse like a fool?”
Karenin was not a fool, so he accepted the challenge and the accident in his life, so he wrote that sentence.
Now, she read the oath in front of the public, and he was sure that she was the surprise in his life.
The priest’s voice sounded again, this time more affectionate.
“In the presence of God, I declare that they are lovers and will never part!”
With the sound of tumult, Karenin bowed his head and kissed his bride for the first time.
They will be happy, he believes.
The tedious and tedious wedding ceremony ended, and by 8 p.m., Anna ushered in a time of solitude with Karenin.
In her fantasy, she will greet her husband with her own beauty although she is shy. They will also say some sweet words and express their missing for each other in the candlelight.
However, the reality is, Anna went back to the bedroom, she did not even have time to look at the bedroom, ran to the bathroom, she took off her wedding dress, and took a breath of air conditioning, her body was really destroyed.
When Karenin returned to his bedroom, he was still a little hesitant. He had to admit that Anna’s words made him feel a little rare.
But when he went back to the bathroom, he didn’t see his wife. When he was in doubt, there came from the bathroom the sound of things overturning and a small cry of surprise.
Karenin strode closer to the bathroom. He knocked on the door and asked Anna what was wrong.
“Wait a minute!”
Karenin lowered his hand, then hesitated for a moment, and then backed away.
About five minutes later, his wife came out, wrapped in a pink Nightgown, very thick, with long wet hair that looked like a soft lamb. When Karenin looked down, she could see Anna’s thin white legs exposed in the air, her tiny feet hidden in cotton slippers.
The place belonging to Karenin never had this kind of soft thing. It seemed that it was pink and tender, and it could breathe, which made people dare not speak loudly.
So this is the wife. Karenin thought.
No matter what Karenin thought, Anna only felt embarrassed and even a little depressed. It was not like this. In her imagination, it was not like this tonight. But she had to tell the truth.
“I think I’m a little hurt.” Anna said.
“Where?”
Karenin frowned. All the beautiful illusions disappeared. He only cared about the most practical things.”I shouldn’t have told you. It’s a shame.” Anna said, and then she said it.
“That girdle made me uncomfortable.”
“Besides, I’m hungry. You’d better let me have something to eat first.”
It seems to be a broken pot, Anna just said it. She raised her eyes and peeped at her husband, but Karenin did not make any mockery. When she raised her eyes, he was already close to her.
“Let me see.” Karenin said.
Anna blinked her eyes, which made Karenin feel a little abrupt. He explained unnaturally, “I have to see how you are hurt. You may be seriously injured.”
“Well, are you sure it’s necessary?” Anna was a little embarrassed.
“Yes, I’m sure.”
After Karenin had finished this sentence, Anna was silent for a moment, and then said a word in response.
“Oh.”
Andre, with permission, made only a look at his mother that he was going first and left.
“I’m sorry, Anna.” Said Maria, somewhat apologetic.
“That’s nothing. I mean, if you don’t mind, can you tell me what happened to him? ”
“In fact, it’s because Charlie and his family are going to Russia next week. Charlie is Andre’s playmate, but his father faces a job transfer and they have to be separated
“I can understand that it’s really hard to part from a friend.” Anna said.
“I hope he’ll get better some time.” Said Maria.
At dinner, Andre did not arrive on time. Luid asked his servant to call for him. When he saw his son coming, the father, who had always been gentle, looked a little ugly for the first time.
“Andre, you can’t keep playing. You’re a big boy
Anna was also worried that luid’s public remarks would upset Andre. After all, he didn’t look like a good and obedient child. However, unexpectedly, Andrea looked around all the people and said, “I won’t be like this next time, Dad.”
Andre sits next to her sister Lucia, who gives him a caring expression, but Andre just shakes his head and enjoys his dinner in silence.
His dining etiquette is almost impeccable, except for the expression on his face, which is not very good, but also maintains in a polite range.
After dinner, they went to the living room to rest. Luid and Karenin were talking about political matters. The children and women were far away from them.
Maria takes care of them with some fruit.
Andrea did not leave early this time. He stayed and sat on the sofa, near the armrest, with his left thumb and forefinger resting on his temple and chin. Anna felt that the child showed that I was in a state of “nothingness and immortality”, so that she couldn’t help laughing.
Maria and Lucia are talking about something. Anna thought no one would see her smile, but Andrea raised her eyes sensitively. A pair of light blue eyes as if doped with mercury, with a bit of inorganic matter indifferent feeling.
“Why do you laugh at me?” Andre remained in that position, her lips slightly closed and moved a few times, for Anna could tell the child’s meaning because of her slow movement.
“Sorry.” She also lip apologized.
Andrea looked at her again for a moment, then blinked and pursed his lips. He looked away as if he was back in the state of “you stupid adults can’t understand my colorful inner world.”.
Anna held back her smile. She lowered her head and took a bite of the fruit.
