Dressing as Anna Karenina's Dame Life

Maria smiled shyly, and said softly, "You are such a good person, Anna."

"It's nothing, Maria, one person doesn't like another person because of their status or appearance." Anna shook her head, she blinked and continued the topic just now.

"You just said you were from Moscow?"

"Yes, Anna, Moscow." Maria said in a nostalgic tone, she sighed, "there is a beautiful river and beautiful scenery, I am not a native of Moscow, but Nikolay is, Although he didn't say anything, I know he loves that place, and there is his younger brother there, and their relationship is very good, after all, they are brothers of the same mother."

"younger brother?"

"His younger brother stayed in the country and has his own farm. I have only met him a few times. He is an upright young man, although a little shy." Maria said in an admiring tone. These descriptions make him Anna had an association.

"Do you know his brother's name?"

"I remember this. He mentioned it once. I have a good memory in this area, I remember." She thought for a while, and quickly said a name with a smile.

"Yes, his name is Konstantin Dmitrich Levin."

"Konstantin Dmitritch!" cried Anna in a small voice, which was so coincidental.

"You know him?" Maria asked.

"Yes, Maria, I know him. We went to play with him for a few days ago." Anna said with a smile, feeling surprised and happy by this wonderful fate.

"God, this is incredible." Maria was equally excited.

"Then you're not going to tell him?"

The excitement was cooled down, Maria lowered her eyes sadly, "He didn't plan to say it, I suggested it, but unfortunately he refused, I think he didn't want to bother his brother, after all, his illness ..." The woman couldn't continue, she held her cheeks in her hands and began to sob again.

Anna sighed and wiped her cheek with a handkerchief, she really cried enough today.

Seryozha at the side was originally just quietly listening to his mother talking to the lady in front of him, but now he felt sad after seeing her tears. He couldn't bear to look at each other, so he could only look at the room some corners of the

The room was small and dirty, and even the bedding was filled with a damp smell. Nikolay Levin lay on it, his sweaty hair sticking to his scalp, his swollen eyes were tightly closed, and only the slight hemorrhage on his chest The ups and downs showed that he was still alive, Serezha looked away, he felt a little panic, he had never seen a real private person, his life was always bright, he had never seen such a messy place, and he had never seen such an unkempt person. Never seen before, in his small world, he was so close to death for the first time, which brought a great touch to his later life.

Anna noticed that her son was a little absent-minded, she took his cold little hand, frowned and asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine, mother." Seryozha whispered, but still obediently snuggled into her mother's arms.

Anna hugged Seryozha on her lap, hugged his waist, and massaged his back with her right hand to comfort him.

"Sorry, Anna." Maria said apologetically. Even though she was not smart enough, she could guess why the boy lost his mind. This place is a bit scary for a child, even when she was alone in it. You may also feel your scalp tingling.

But she couldn't help it, they had no money, and all their valuables were sold off, and the last money on her body was also taken by Nicholas to buy wine in the hotel restaurant today.

"Don't say that, Maria." Anna smiled slightly at Maria. She had cried enough, who would have the heart to make her say sorry.

"I'm fine, madam, don't mind, I just want to sit on mother's lap for a while." Seryozha said softly, raising her face.

"You're so sweet." Maria stood up and planted a kiss on the boy's cheek. "God bless you, child."

"Thank you." Seryozha smiled at Maria.

After returning from Nicholas Levin's side, Anna and the others met Valenga and Mrs. Stahl who had just returned from the bathing place. Valenga's eyes were red, and she looked at her adoptive mother with some fear. When she saw Anna and the others Finally, she greeted with some embarrassment, and Mrs. Stahl said less with a cold face.

It seemed that there was a conflict, Anna hesitated, and finally swallowed the words, and could only watch the back of the mother and daughter leaving.

Karenin pulled Ana and said in a low voice, "Go back."

"kindness."

The day was obviously not as clear as it was, and Seryozha was already asleep. Anna was lying on the bed thinking about Maria and Valenga, and finally she thought about the humbleness of women, and her head felt like a ball of quilts. The mess was tangled up.

After Karenin came out of the bathroom, he saw his wife was blindfolded and thinking, and he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Shensi was pulled back by the man's voice, Anna lifted the quilt and let Karenin in and said, "I can't tell, just think wildly."

Karenin smiled and pulled up the quilt a little. He turned his head to look at his wife, and he seemed a little interested in the matter that troubled her.

"Tell me."

"Are you curious?" she asked with a wink and a smile.

"Honestly a little bit."

"A common problem of political officials?"

"No, maybe it's not just that." Karenin said after pondering for a while, the woman smiled and held his big hand under the quilt.

"As long as you are willing to listen."

"Let's talk." He said in a gentle voice, and with his other free hand, he brushed a strand of hair from her face to her ear, revealing the small earlobe. He looked at it, and leaned down and kissed it.

Anna moved her body and raised her face to stare into his eyes. There were two small girls in those eyes, focused and gentle. She curled up her lips and snuggled into his arms and sighed.

"I just feel sorry for Maria, as you can see, she loves Nikolai Levin, who is not nice to her, and Valenga, I only seemed to see the good sides at first." Well, today I feel that Mrs. Stahl is a bit mean, I always thought it was very pleasant to go out for vacation, but now I feel that everything is not good."

She was nagging, even a little confused, the man didn't interrupt her, but just listened quietly, until she slowly began to calm down, he said a word.

"You are too easily influenced, Anna."

"I think so, Alexei," she said, frowning, biting her lip and looking at him apologetically, "Look, I'm really sorry for you, this time I was supposed to be completely relaxed Take a break, and it didn't work at all."

Karenin smiled, "I thought you completely forgot."

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"But I have to say, there are times when I don't think that's a bad thing."

"You really think so?" she asked expectantly, looking up.

"Yes, I'm sure." As he said, he leaned down and began to kiss her. All the words and gratitude melted into this sweet kiss. When she was still rational, she could only think of one sentence. It is definitely a precious luck to find someone who can tolerate oneself.

Early the next morning, Anna accompanied Karenin to meet a local bureaucrat, and they left in the afternoon. When Anna and the others just came back, they saw Varenga running over in a hurry, saying that Nikolai Lenin Wen got into a fight with a colonel here.

It turned out that Maria planned to thank Anna and the others while Nicholas was sober, but unexpectedly met the colonel, who happened to be drunk and molested Maria with his guts, and Nicholas fought him Woke up.

When they arrived at the scene, they only saw Nicholas lying on the ground, the corner of his mouth was split, blood flowed from his mouth, his hair was messy, and there were purple bruises on his arms, and Maria was leaning against him on the ground Weeping, while the man standing opposite had one eye swollen, and two of the buttons on his collar were torn off during the fight, exposing his bare chest with some nail scratches on it.

"You bloody bastard! Go to hell, disgusting guy!" Nikolay Levin spread out on the ground cursing. If he hadn't been sick and dragged by Maria, he might have rushed up to meet that The colonel fought.

"Ha, you coward, bedbug, stinky mud that's worse than garbage, shit! It's my pleasure to rave about it!" The man spat and glared at Nikolay Levin fiercely.

Maria's face turned pale, she clutched her skirt tightly with her hands, bit her lip and was humiliated silently.

"She came from a brothel, she's a whore, but she's not something a shit like you can insult, you vile bastard!" Nicholas gasped, the veins on his neck Burst out, a pair of eyes staring red.

Karenin asked the hotel guards to find someone to take away the drunk colonel. The cause of the incident was that the man wanted to moles Maria, drinking and molesting women, which is absolutely not allowed in this decent place. In the beginning, no one cared about it because everyone didn't want to cause trouble, and the woman being molested belonged to Nikolai Levin. Most people still had the intention of watching a good show. Still very exciting.

Anna frowned and watched the drunken colonel who was cursing and swearing was taken away. She ran to Maria and fixed her clothes. Feeling that she was still trembling, she was about to say something, but Nikolay Levin shouted first. out.

"I know, you nobles look down on us, and I fucking look down on you shitty nobles, but don't look at her like that, she is a good woman, even if she came out of a brothel, she is a good woman, a good woman Women shouldn't get no help when they are molested by some damn bastards, you rich people who pretend to be self-educated, I spit on you!" After he finished shouting, he took a deep breath, and the crowd passed There was a silence, some counterarguments at first, then more, everyone justified their actions, and Nikolai Levin was completely passed out.

"Alexey, send for Dr. Ivanovich!" Anna called to Karenin, who nodded and called a waiter in the next hotel to do it.

"Take him to the room first." Karenin squatted, holding Nikolai Levin on his back.

"Okay, go ahead and take it to our room first." Anna responded, and while beckoning Seryosha to help Maria, she supported Nikolai Levin for Karenin. Feel the room and put the man on the bed.

Maria's face was still pale, but she was able to stand upright, but her eyes were swollen, she kept crying tears, she couldn't say anything, she was too frightened, and she was moved by what Nikolay Levin said , these kinds of intense emotions were rolling in her heart, and in the end she couldn't say anything, she could only sit on the chair Anna brought for her and cry while holding the man's hand.

Not long after, Ivanovic hurried over with his medical kit, his two thick eyebrows were furrowed, he didn't say a word, he must have asked what happened when he came, The examination was carried out, the medicine was prescribed, and soon Nikolai Levin woke up.

"God bless, you're finally awake!" Maria said tremblingly.

"I'm not dead," said Nicholas strangely.

"You're fine, fine, I'm here too." Maria brushed her sweaty hair aside for him, and she stared at him with pity, as if he was everything to her, which made Nico La's prepared vicious words were completely stuck in his throat, and in the end he could only close his eyes fiercely, and he called out, "Madam, I have something I want to make clear to you first."

"Speak, I'm listening." Anna took a step forward and said softly.

"She is not like you, she is a noble woman, she came out of a brothel, but madam, since she married me, she has never done anything immoral, she behaves like a docile sheep, I love her and respect her, and I don't want anyone to insult her, and please don't look at her with contemptuous eyes like those bastards." The man paused for a while, breathing hard, he twisted his face and continued: "I Think of her as my wife, although I beat and scold her, but she is indeed my wife of Nikolai Levin, if you are sure you want to deal with us, then please treat her with equal eyes, if you feel that There will be loss of your status, so go ahead, the door is there."

When he said these words, his neck twitched nervously from time to time, with the corners of his cracked mouth and puffy eyes, it looked really scary, almost making people have nightmares, but what he said was so touching.

"No, Nikolai Levin, how can I despise Maria, I love and respect her, and I respect you now." Anna said softly, her eyes were wet, she really It was a change in the man in front of him, even though he was a jerk, he was not a bad person after all.

"Respect me? Don't say that. That bastard is right. I'm a piece of shit. I'm a useless man. Don't change your mind about me." The man laughed mockingly For a moment, it seemed to tug at the corner of his cracked mouth, and he gasped in pain.

"Lie down, Nikolay, don't move around, please lie down." Maria said with a trembling voice, her hand was still firmly grasping Nikolay Levin's arm, as if afraid Once you let go, you will never see him again.

"Yes, I have to lie down, I have to lie down." Nikolai Levin fell into a strange silence, muttered a few words, and then fell asleep slowly, presumably because of Ivanovich The medicines prescribed by Qi have worked.

Maria was sobbing as she covered the man with a quilt. She was still terrified like a rabbit that had just escaped from a falcon, and any slight disturbance would make her collapse.

Anna took Seryozha out with Karenin and the others, leaving the space for Maria and Nikolai Levin, who were sitting in the hall.

"How is he?" Anna asked Ivanovic. The latter had been frowning since just now. Hearing Anna's question, he looked up at her and shook his head.

"There's nothing we can do. His lung disease is too serious, and he's been drinking too much. Today's disturbance is even more troublesome. I'm afraid it's only a year away." The man sighed and uttered it with difficulty.

Anna was stunned. Although she knew that there was no way to save Nikolai Levin, after the incident just now, she had a different impression of him. Now she sincerely hopes that he can survive.

"Is there really no other way?" Anna murmured.

"No." Ivanovic said helplessly, and he was unwilling to give up any patient, but that was the truth.

The flame in the fireplace was beeping, and after an unknown amount of time, Maria came down from the stairs. Her eyes were red and swollen, like a goldfish, and her ten fingers were also red, because she was held tightly by her master. Holding it tightly, it looked a little hideous.

"Come here, come here, Maria." Anna got up and said when she saw the woman come down, she supported Maria to sit on the soft sofa, hugged her shoulders to comfort her, but she couldn't say anything.

"How long does he have?" Maria raised her face and looked at Ivanovic and asked softly.

"His lung disease is too severe, and he has been drinking alcohol, maybe less than a year." Ivanovic said slowly, he couldn't bear to look at the woman in front of him.

Maria pursed her lips, and pinched her clothes tightly with both hands.

"Maria..."

"I know, Anna, don't worry, I've made up my mind, I'm going to take him back to Moscow." Maria interrupted Anna, smiling with tears in her eyes, her makeup had already been put on, It's really not pretty to smile like this, but Anna just thinks that no one is better than her.

Anna looked at her apologetically, stretched out her arms to hug the woman, and comforted her.

"God bless you...don't give up."

"Yes, God will bless him. After all, he is not a bad person, and he has done many good things. He saved me." Maria choked up and said in the end that she had become wailing, and those tears flowed When it got to Anna's clothes, it was gradually soaked.

The next day Anna and the others went to the train station to see Maria and the others off. She refused to accompany Anna and the others, because the purpose of Karenin's visit this time was not for a simple holiday. In the end, Ivanovic strongly demanded that he accompany them. They went to Moscow because he was a doctor and had taken care of them along the way.

"Anna, take care of yourself, don't worry about us." Maria murmured while hugging Anna.

"You too, my dear Maria."

After bidding farewell to Maria and the others, Anna was in a trance all day. Karenin and Sergei stayed with her all the time. At night, she looked at the father and son apologetically, hugged them and cried for a while. This state lasted for two days. Things got better gradually, but what changed everything was the smiling lady in the hot spring, Valenga. Her kind character and friendly tone made Anna pay attention to her.

Valenga always seems to be very busy. In addition to taking care of Mrs. Stahl, she often takes care of the people in the bath, including sending lost children home, sending warm blankets to some patients, and helping to buy stuff, which made Anna even more interested in her, and it was rare for someone to always have a smile on their face and do their best to serve others.

Anna got up early that day, and Karenin and Seryozha were still sleeping. She came to the hot spring early and happened to see Valenga. Anna observed that she got up very early every day.

"I see you are busy every day." Anna picked up a small object that Valenga had dropped and handed it to her.

"It's you, Madame, who got up so early," said Valenga, smiling.

"I'm not as good as you. It happened occasionally, but I think you're used to it." Anna took the things back, because the woman on the other side obviously couldn't hold that much anymore, and she said with a smile, "I'll help you." Would you like to have some?"

"Thank you so much." Hualunga said briskly, and distributed some things in her hands to Anna. She is a generous girl who looks a bit like Kitty, and Anna feels that she likes her even more. .

"Here, the drink you need." Hualunga came to a French woman. She was a bit older, but she was still dressed in a fashionable way. She wore a golden wig. Unfortunately, she was blind.

"Thank you, Mademoiselle Valenga," said the Frenchwoman kindly.

After leaving the Frenchwoman, Valenga succeeded in reassuring a ill-tempered patient by telling some jokes, and Anna looked at her in amazement, and felt that she was a mysterious girl, kind and courteous, and very resourceful.

She felt that Mrs. Stahl was really lucky to have such an adopted daughter as Valencia, who was outstanding and kind, but there was one thing that was strange. Valenga seemed to be in her 20s, but she was still a girl, which was really strange. It stands to reason that it is impossible for a young girl with good character not to be favored by men.
