A Noble Marriage - Chapter 48

It was really a good play.

The French actress has a plump figure and a small face. She is not tall, but the flower girl she plays is vivid.

People always like to watch this kind of drama. When a pretty girl from a poor family comes to the metropolis, she will not be corrupted by the prevailing values. Because a good-looking girl, even if she is poor, can always get everything because of her beauty.

Although this achievement always depends on a powerful man.

It may be because of a bet, or a beautiful encounter, but no matter what. Since the actress is beautiful enough, she should be given a chance to show off her good face in the end.

People are speculating excitedly about what old-fashioned reasons should be followed to give the actress a chance to dress up and change.

As the play got here, Anna noticed a sudden noise in the crowd.

She looked up curiously.

In the direction of her right hand, someone was coming in the aisle.

The lighting on the stage is not as transparent as modern, and can only vaguely reflect each other’s figure. The slim looking figure would never be an adult male.

When Anna was guessing, there was a person’s position on her right hand side. A lady murmured an unpleasant word with the suffix of social flower.

The man was seated, and the commotion subsided.

From Anna’s point of view, I can’t see the other side’s face, but can see the other party’s high head, with full pride.

The gentleman’s actors on the stage had begun to “magic” the florist, so Anna put her focus back on it.

With the help of gentlemen, class is no longer a problem.

Most of the women’s eyes are too thin to be satisfied.

Anna took time to glance at her husband.

The latter is used to sitting upright and looking attentively, but does not show excessive love for someone.

Anna laughed, looked around, and when no one was paying attention, she gently used her little finger in the dark to hook up with Karenin’s little finger, which was comfortably on her knee.

After perceiving the other party’s finger, Anna slightly tilted her head and winked at Karenin.

The other party’s blue eyes glanced at her with the rest of the light, and then acquiesced to her move, although the owner of the little finger did not know why suddenly another little finger colluded with him. But did not hinder that always calm little finger, acquiesced in this collusion meaning.

Anna snickered and calmed down before she looked up again at the stage.

At the right time, the gentleman is pouring his love into the heroine.

Those affectionate words almost captured the hearts of all the women present, and some romantic men wrote them down quietly in their hearts. Only Anna’s heart was still spinning on her husband’s little finger.

After all, the hero’s love words can be said to anyone, but only Anna can hook up with Karenin’s little finger.

At the end, people leave in order.

Perhaps the upper class is wrapped in dirty emotional transactions, but the external etiquette is still thousands of times better than that of the poor.

Anna tiptoed to look at the person on the right, but only saw a graceful figure by a gorgeous cashmere shawl.

Cashmere shawl as a symbol of warm fabric, has always been in light color, and has been loved by people.

Such bright colors are not embarrassing, but most people will not choose such colors. However, the person who will choose such color also indirectly indicates that he is a very individual character.

Out of the theater, in the corridor, Karenin asked, “dinner?”

Anna looked up and said with a smile, “very good.”

There is a hotel not far from the theatre, which is very popular. You need to book in advance to enjoy it. There is a daily quota.

It is said that the owner’s son is a proud young man, and since he took over, he has stipulated the acceptance of status in his hotel. The implication is that there is no title. Even if you have money, you will not be entertained here.

This move would have been protested by many dignitaries. After all, their mistresses are not necessarily women of high standing, but they are very welcome.

Because your husband is always proud of his identity. It has always been shameless for those socialists who go in and out of her husband’s side. Therefore, this shop has carried out this idea for five years and has become the first famous shop in Petersburg.

Karenin’s identity brought him convenience. He made a reservation.

On this point, Karenin is essentially different from most officials.

There is no doubt that Karenin was a workaholic. He was very responsible for his own work. He had great ambition for his official career. He was addicted to political research and was also committed to solving some practical problems for the people. He is upright and calm, but not pedantic.Anna was fascinated by the size of the handle. It seems that with more integrity, Karenin will become the kind of upright person, and less upright will become the most cunning villain.

In the end, she concluded, perhaps this is the charm of Karenin. Most people don’t know, but she just got the chance.

They came to the door of the hotel. Just as they were about to enter, Anna saw the lady.

Karenin had already noticed his wife’s eyes, including in the theatre, so he asked, “do you know her?”

“No, I don’t know.” Anna shook her head. “And you?”

Karenin nodded slightly.

“Miss Alina, just like Miss Eliza.” Karenin said simply.

In view of his previous experience, he added, “not intentionally.”

Anna laughed. “I don’t really doubt that.” She thought about it and added, in a charming tone, “I trust you.”

Karenin nodded: “trust between husband and wife is very important.”

Anna took Karenin’s arm, looked at the legendary Miss Alina, and explained, “remember what I said about Mr. Gorman’s original design for Miss Eliza?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve always wanted to meet her, just curious. Before that, I thought she would be a very proud person

“She is.” Said Karenin calmly.

Anna said with a smile: “ah, yes, but I always feel a little different. I can’t say it.”

She looked again at Alina, who seemed to be moving in the direction of her own carriage. A young man saw her, called out to her, and went over to make fun of her.

Thanks to the young man, Anna finally saw what Alina looked like.

Skin like snow, high nose bridge and deep eye socket, eyebrows raised, lip color rich like the rose in spring, * and thorny, with wanton publicity and confidence.

Alina’s expression seemed to be a little impatient, because the young man began to pester her.

Suddenly, the young man pinched Alina’s plump chest with his hands.

Anna thought that the other party’s arrogant temperament would be furious, but the latter did not get angry. Instead, she changed her impatient look and gave a seductive smile. Her full lips bit the young man’s face and left with a tender smile.

Anna was surprised and blushed at the audacity.

Before she could figure out what kind of emotion was between the two, Karenin’s voice came over.

“Don’t look at what you shouldn’t see.”

Anna mumbled, “I don’t know…”

She did not finish, but took lakarene’s hand again.

“But I find it strange.”

“What?”

“You see, I’d like Miss Alina to be a haughty person with a big temper. Do you remember the commotion she caused in the theatre just now? I thought she would be angry at least for the disrespect of that man

The young lady was dressed for the sake of a young lady. The latter’s publicity must be due to her family background, and I think her practice is the most effective

“Sometimes obedience is the most effective way to avoid conflict and entanglement.”

Anna thought for a moment and said, “listen to you, it’s true.”

“I think she is a bold woman compared with Miss Eliza, if you say she has a haughty disposition.” Karenin commented lightly.

Anna rarely heard Karenin talk about women.

He had no bad habits and did not seem intimate with others. Therefore, Anna never expected to hear such high praise from him. The most important thing is that you are not praised!

“You think highly of her Anna rapped at her husband.

Although Karenin did not study the relationship between men and women, after all, this was not the field he needed to study before. He is also the first time to be someone else’s husband, but with years of intuition in officialdom, he still grasped the point. And it avoids a potential quarrel between newlyweds.

“It’s just a matter of fact, not a matter of gender.”

In other words, my evaluation of her has nothing to do with whether she is a man or a woman.

Anna doesn’t really mind, but it’s very nice to hear her husband’s words like this. She also has a question and is more curious.

“Well, what do you think of me? Alexis. ” She blinked for her husband’s comment.

Karenin was a bit stunned. He was not a man who liked to show his heart. But his wife’s questions and expectant eyes made him unable to refuse. Finally, he gave the answer.

“The right person for me.”

“That’s a cheating answer Anna, immersed in a pleasant mood, almost exclaimed. But he forgot that Karenin was not such a romantic person. Sometimes, his way of thinking always showed the simplest straight line in the emotion.”I never cheat, this is the result of careful consideration,” he said with a straight face

Anna’s smile grew deeper, and she could not help but close to each other, thinking: who said that Mr. Alexey Alexandrovich Karenin couldn’t say love words? It’s just that other people don’t have the luck.

“I know what I’m going to do.” Anna said.

Karenin waited, and soon his wife raised her hand to cover his eyes.

“Do you smell it?”

Karenin sniffed for a while and hesitated, “fragrance of flowers?”

“Yes.” Anna took off her hand, her eyes shining.

“Spring is here, isn’t it?”

Karenin looked at his wife. The latter’s face is small, blush, lips like flowers, a pair of eyes is so bright, people can’t help but believe every word she said.

At the moment, no one was around, and Karenin indulged himself once.

Half an hour after the end of the play, Karenin hesitated to kiss his wife on the small mouth.

“Yes.”

Spring has come long ago. After her seemingly absurd proposal to him, spring came to him, and the Russian winter was long gone.
