A Noble Marriage - Chapter 67

Anna decided to keep the distance between her husband and herself a little bit, otherwise she felt that she would not be able to talk about it.

When Karenin looked at her wife, she almost indulged. The latter did not see, her mind was sorting out the words to be said later.

“Next week is Alexei’s birthday, and I want to help him celebrate it.”

Karenin did not speak immediately. He knew that since his wife had brought up the matter, it meant that she wanted to hold more than a birthday party for the child.

“I can see that he likes it very much, and so do I. We can have a picnic here in advance. After all, he’ll be in school soon. ”

After Anna finished, she waited for Karenin’s reaction. The latter frowned slightly and tapped her fingers on the edge of the table.

After a while, Karenin nodded slightly in agreement.

Anna smiles and kisses each other on the cheek. She planned something. Karenin provided a list. In this village, they actually had many “guests”.

If Anna didn’t want a Petersburg party, Karenin naturally knew what kind of guests he liked.

The next invitation letter about the guests was written by anushika and signed by Anna. The servants sent were chosen by Karenin.

Sasha, the cook, drew up the menu. Her face was red and she looked very simple and healthy. She even had a lot of voice. For she felt very happy, considering that these guests were not the elegant and respectable people who had been entertained by her husband before, but the peasants with generous hands and simple heart like herself.

The stomachs of the first-class people are usually as thin as the legs of egrets. Those delicious food can’t get into their delicate stomachs, which makes people angry, and she has been angry for many years.

Sasha’s commander, the servants in the kitchen, promised Anna.

Although it was a somewhat lax banquet, and it came very suddenly, with the help of Karenin, things went on very well.

By the time the children came back, it was almost done.

“A picnic? oh It’s good. I think it’s very interesting. ” Charlie said it was like little stars in his eyes.

“Does that mean we can not wear those dresses?” Andre is more concerned about this issue. Although the dress makes him look more decent and beautiful, he prefers freedom.

“Yes.” Anna comforted the boy.

Andre looked down and thought about it, then shrugged his shoulders. “Then I think that should be good.”

“Don’t forget to prepare a gift for Alexei.” Anna said to the two boys, “it’s a birthday party for him in advance.”

“No problem.” The two of them spoke in unison, and seemed a little elated.

Because of their identity, they are not often allowed to prepare their own gifts except for each other. Because any party that has invited a family is more than just giving gifts in private.

Adults will try their best to write about these gifts, and the family receiving the gift will decide their attitude towards the other family according to this.

So every time he went to a party, Andre was bored. Charlie, though not as grumpy as he was, wanted to be more free.

“Give him a surprise, so don’t tell him what you’re going to give him.” Anna said with a smile.

“Understand!” It’s a chorus again.

Therefore, after Alexei came out of Karenin’s study, he was so sensitive that he felt as if something had happened, but he could not immediately know.

“Come here, Alexei. I have to give you my birthday present ahead of time.” Anna called the boy over.

“We want to see it, too.” Said Andrea, and then added, “may I

“Yes.” Anna makes a request to Andre, giving her a look of appreciation.

They went to the master bedroom on the second floor and Anna took out her clothes.

“Try it.” She said, and took Andre and them away. When they came back in, Alexei was fastening his cufflinks. Simultaneous interpreting:

is a very decent suit, but unlike traditional suits, the silver lining fabric makes it look too dignified. A suit of waistcoat tightens the waist and outlines the slim and straight waist of the young man.

Alexei stood by the window, the afternoon sun slanted down and gently stroked his golden hair. Even the tiny dust in the air was also shining by this gentle light, and changed into flying shining pieces, dancing in the air.

“Can I help you?” Anna asked with a smile.

Alexei also laughed and nodded.

He stood up a little restrained, for he was not much taller than Anna because he was still developing. From the perspective of grade, the people in front of him are not much older than him, but at this moment, Alexei really felt a strange feeling. It was as if the person in front of him was his mother.She is gentle, optimistic and meticulous, satisfying all Alexei’s fantasies about a mother.

She is a relative, an elder, and seems to be a long lost friend. His heart, which has always been sad and desolate, seems to have been cured now. When countless good expectations are turned into feelings, they become warm and stable.

“This pair of Cufflinks was given to you by Alexei.”

Anna stroked the cufflinks.

Unlike most of the nobility’s precious stone cufflinks, Karenin gave them Silver Cufflinks.

The prismatic lines are sharp, while the popular rounded lines are not the same. The decoration around it can be said to be very simple. At first glance, the people who made it seem to have a sense of inattention. However, if you look at it carefully, you will find that each line is slightly too carefully carved, and the ratio of length to width is almost the same.

Andre and Charlie heard this and looked at Alexei again.

They all know what it means.

In the eyes of the poor, luxurious clothing is an important proof to distinguish classes. But in the upper class, the ornament is the symbol of the family. Families that really have an ancient history will know how to judge their attitude towards their owners by a pair of small cufflinks.

It’s the same even if their offspring are the kind of high-ranking little bastards.

Karenin’s behavior has shown that he will include Alexei in his wings. The latter had not felt this so clearly before, but now he understood it.

Although he didn’t have the same parents as Andre and Charlie, he was now blessed.

In this world, no matter how talented a person is, it is very difficult to get ahead. Only by leading can we get to the top of power. This is why there is always a gap between the poor and the nobility that cannot be overstepped. That’s what intelligence can’t make up for. Although the talented men of poor origin do not believe it, it is.

Between these two classes, apart from the arrogance brought about by power and wealth itself, there is something deeper that the poor can’t touch.

This is the second lesson Karenin taught Alexey.

It was a fine day when the picnic began.

As early summer approached, the trees began to look lush. In the yard, the shade of beech trees covered the spring heat, and there were many stout oak trees.

The picnic was held in the yard. Open places make people feel more comfortable.

The farmers and women in the neighborhood brought a lot of things.

There are fresh blueberries, and there are even early ripening strawberries. Small and full, juicy and sweet.

The one who sent strawberries was a mother and daughter. The little girl was about eight years old. Her red hair was tied into two braids. The color of her eyes was very similar to forget not to forget grass. Her mother also tied her a bow with the same color as her eyes, which was made of silk. I can see that she has a pair of parents who love her.

Anna would not have come to the kitchen, but she suddenly remembered that she had not told Sasha about honey. When she came over, the mother and daughter looked a little stiff.

The little girl hid behind her mother, but not long after, she poked out her head curiously and looked a little shy.

“Naska.” The young woman beckoned to her children.

The little girl named Naska came out. She stood up a little nervously. Her thin diamond mouth opened. She vomited an empty syllable before saying hello to Anna.

Anna nodded with a smile. When she saw the little girl’s braid, she couldn’t help touching it. Then she said, “it’s beautiful.”

The little girl’s eyes were wide open because she was praised. Then she blushed and said with some pride and innocence, “because she is like a mother.”

The mother is a little nervous. Obviously, she is not used to greeting a lady like Anna. She is worried that her daughter’s words will offend each other.

But Anna didn’t mind. She just nodded with a smile and agreed with the girl.

“I can see that.”

As if encouraged, she took the strawberries, held them back, and held them high to Anna.

“My mother and I picked these strawberries in the morning. We planted them together. They are very sweet. Here you are, madam.”

She thought about it and said shyly, “I, I don’t have money. I got it myself. It’s for my little brother This is a gift for the young master. ” It seemed that nasia had just remembered her mother’s instruction, and finally she changed her words a little bit.

This pause Anna knew what she meant, but she didn’t say anything, and she was still smiling.

She took the strawberries and asked, “can I give you a kiss in return?”

The little girl nodded shyly.

Before the mother and daughter left, Anna said to her mother, “you have taught her very well.” The latter is first Leng for a moment, and then deeply returned a respectful thank you.

“Look, money is not everything.” Sasha muttered, with some comfort of self deception.Anna took the strawberries to Alexey.

“Is this?”

“A gift from a little girl. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? ” She saw the golden haired boy smile briskly. He held the book like a poet, but the intelligence in his eyes was like some kind of sharp weapon.

It’s a pity that he could have only picked up books for a lifetime. But fortunately, he still has a choice.

Anna pitied each other, but admired him.

She knew at this time that she was not a brave person, at least not as brave as them. However, she is not sorry, because she knows what she can do. For example, love herself, love her life, love her husband, love whatever she thinks is worth it.

Whether it is the pure heart of a little girl or the smile of a teenager, it is like crystal, because it is pure and makes people happy. Anna was always eager to share this feeling with Karenin.

His life, too regular, too calm, too serious, like black and gray.

Anna knew that Karenin didn’t think there was anything wrong with this logical and controllable life, but sometimes, it’s not impossible to add a little sunshine and flowers to it, right? The most fundamental reason is that when she does, the latter expresses her permission.

The so-called marriage is probably like this.

Whether it’s giving or receiving, if it’s forced, it has nothing to do with whether things are beautiful or not.

“I think” is not a good start, which usually means failure ahead. At the beginning of this marriage, Anna, seemingly fearless, was actually a little nervous.

In this marriage, such as Karenin, you need to summon up a lot of courage to choose to be close to him through that calm appearance.

It’s not shameful to fail. What’s hard to do is to continue to be more courageous. At this point, Anna gave her face a positive recognition. But in fact, no matter how excellent the strategy and means, also can’t compare with each other’s “willing”.

If there is not enough love, any giving is only lightly given. This is the source of Anna’s love and trust in Karenin in this marriage.

“People always can’t find their own husband. Would you mind if I told them I never worried about this problem?” Anna opened the door of her study and found Karenin.

The latter is in the pocket of the waistcoat, and the waistcoat is in the waistcoat. His brow had been slightly frowned, but when he saw Anna come in, he let himself relax.

Obviously, he is facing some problems in government affairs.

For the wives of officials, especially those of high-ranking men like Karenin, one thing needs to be understood. Just as women want men to separate work from life, Karenin is obviously not like Anna’s elder brother, oberonski, who likes to talk about government affairs with his wife, although it is mostly interesting.

Anna never went too far into Karenin’s work.

She knew him and knew that if she asked for something, he would probably not refuse. But that’s not what he wants most. And what Karenin didn’t want, Anna was more reluctant to let him worry.

She dotes and dotes on her husband in her own way, and fortunately, the husband knows how to repay.

“Delicious.” Anna held up what was in her hand. She walked briskly to Karenin and told her the origin of the thing.

The woman’s voice is soft and gentle, and her eyes are clear.

And those who can be forced to relax, now also with the voice and smile, and gradually become really comfortable.

Sunshine, strawberry, wife, eat is full of sweet juice. A little sour didn’t make the official frown again. ( )
