Celebrity House [Anna]

They are like every ordinary couple at this ball, but they are so different, but, in the high society who are good at pretending, a couple who loves each other is usually considered an opportunity to take advantage of.

That's what Vronsky thought.

He thought Anna was unhappy, and look, Karenin was a decade older than Anna, a rigid civil servant who had devoted his whole life to the cause.

He knew that Karenin was making great efforts for the universal military service law recently. To be honest, he himself served in the army. When he was in the army, he thought Karenin was right, but once he returned to Moscow or Petersburg, After getting used to those celebrities, he thought that Karenin was competing with everyone.

Regarding Karenin's career, Vronsky could not criticize him. He loved Anna, so he thought that Karenin was not worthy of her in any way.When he saw Anna smiling, he didn't think it was real.Betsy said Anna was a good woman, of course she was, and Vronsky thought he should ask Anna.

After the first dance, Karenin took Anna back to the rest area, where Seryozha was secretly drinking a drink.

"You are not good." Anna said.

Seryozha gestured with the thumb and index finger of his right hand: "Only a little bit, mother."

"Dr. Cullens said that you should pay attention to your sugar intake, Seryozha. You already had a drink at Uncle Skiva's house today." Karenin glanced at the drink Seryozha was drinking, and really didn't understand. Why are colorful candies and drinks so attractive to children.

"I understand, Dad." Seryozha responded softly, promising that he would obediently stop eating sweet things today.

"Do what you say." Karenin said that although he can always trust his son in many things, he really has to emphasize the sugar content.By the way, he had to remember that the goal of Seryozha's education for the next three months was to make the child less obsessed with sugar.Maybe liking too much sugar is a sign of a disease too. Go back and he'll have to ask Dr. Cullens.

Fathers sometimes think a little too much, but they are more willing to think in their heads than mothers.

Turning from the children's question, Karenin noticed someone approaching them.

"Good day."

Count Volynsky said that he had shiny black hair and had a good figure because he had been exercising in the army for a long time. Naturally, a civil official like Karenin couldn't match him, but Karenin had been in the officialdom for more than ten years. All the aura of a high position is beyond Vronsky's reach.

"Good day, Count Vronsky, it must be a little distance from Petersburg to Moscow, and it took us a while to come from Petersburg." Karenin said lightly.

"My troops are in Moscow, so I'm closer than you." Vronsky said not to be outdone.

Karenin glanced at the other again, knew without guessing what the gentleman was up to, and invited his wife to dance.

If it was in the past, or if it was someone else, Karenin would naturally not care.

There is no need to be paranoid about the necessary social interaction. Both he and her wife have their own circles, but at the moment, he just feels a little unhappy.

It's as if a goat has just arrived in front of a rich grassland, and another goat with obviously different looks and body is trying to get involved in this grassland, which is really unpleasant.

Anna felt some of Karenin's emotions.

This is actually very amazing, because Karenin actually can't see any emotional fluctuations on the surface, but she just knows it.

Anna looked at Count Vronsky, and she thought to herself: "Why does Count Vronsky insist on thinking that I am an unfortunate woman who needs to be rescued?"

Then she thought of Betsy, so she rolled her eyes, tilted her head at Karenin and smiled and complained: "I don't want to dance anymore, it's a pain to wear shoes that don't fit. But if you want I wouldn't mind asking people to dance, either."

Her words had two meanings.

To put it simply, she deliberately pretended to complain and said it in advance to silence Vronsky. As for another meaning, if she had to sacrifice for this, then, as a considerate wife, her husband would naturally need to make a small sacrifice .

"Shoes that don't fit really make people uncomfortable, so next time you should follow my advice, Anna, it's no good to have good-looking shoes that don't fit." Karenin said to his wife, turning his head.

They sang in unison, most people may not be able to hear it, but Vronsky, who already had an idea in his heart, could hear it, his face was flushed, and he still couldn't believe it.

He thinks Anna is innocent, and Karenin is distorting what Anna means.

A man like him should be likened to an ill-fitting shoe, and Vronsky's self-esteem made him not want to continue to be humiliated here.

He said coldly, "I remembered something, so I left first."

Karenin raised his eyes: "Won't you stay and dance first?"

Wollensky blushed again, then said, "Next time," and strode away.

Schahua and his family came from not far away, and he said strangely: "I just saw Earl Vronsky, why did he leave in a bit of anger?"

"Really? Count Vronsky just came to say hello to us."

"Oh, that may be my misreading." Skiva smiled, "That Earl Vronsky is a good man, he is very kind, and everyone in his army likes him. Last time I was on the train Picking up an official from Petersburg at the station, I happened to meet Vronsky. Then, a misfortune happened. A man who was repairing the railroad tracks was run over by a train. It was very tragic. gave all his money to the wretched man's wife."

"It sounds like he's really a good guy," Karenin commented.

"Yes, I told others about it, and everyone praised him."

"Who are you talking about?" Kitty came over with a flushed face. She was surrounded by several young people just now. They all wanted to dance with her, but she was always looking for Count Vronsky.

"Count Vronsky. I'm talking about the money he gave to the wife and son of the repairman who was run over by the train."

"He's such a nice fellow, handsome and kind," said Kitty involuntarily, her eyes shining brightly.

"Has no one seen Konstantin Dmitritch?"

Tao Li didn't want Kitty to continue talking about Count Vronsky, she didn't trust this man, and she thought that if Kitty fell in love with Count Vronsky, she would definitely be hurt.

"I hear he's coming."

"No, I didn't see him. Has he really come?" Kitty's attention was diverted to the tall and somewhat silent but lovely Konstantin Levin, whom she liked to talk to.

"He said he would come. He has always been a person who attaches great importance to promises." Tao Li said.

The family had been very close to Levin when her eldest brother was still alive, but after their eldest brother died, Levin gradually became estranged from them until Skiva's intervention and her marriage to Skiva , and then gradually became intimate again, but in the end it is different from before.

They were talking, and Anna noticed that near the corridor, a tall man was approaching by Sludin's affectionate arm, and the latter was visibly uncomfortable.

"I think, I may have seen the person you are talking about." Anna said, and signaled everyone to look over with her eyes.

As if coercing a big man, Sludin brought the opponent over.

"I picked someone up!" he announced proudly and proudly.

The man named Konstantin Dmitrich Levin said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "I'm just not familiar with this kind of place."

"It's okay, I didn't know the way before." Srudin reassured the other party.

Anna obviously saw that the man pursed his lips in frustration.

"You are here." Kitty said cordially, looking at each other with her beautiful eyes, she smiled sincerely.

Levin's face, which didn't quite look like that of an upper-class aristocrat, was stained with a blush.

"Spring planting hasn't started yet, I have time now." He emphasized, "In another week, I have to get busy."

Kitty didn't care about such things, but she was willing to tolerate Levin's eccentricity of liking farm work, so she still looked innocent and optimistic, instead of giving Levin an obviously uninterested answer like the other ladies.

Seryozha, who had been watching the conversation of the adults, suddenly said:

"Why don't you go to a dance?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, he tilted his head and said, "Look, everyone else is going to dance."

Skiva smiled and nodded. He invited Taoli, and Taoli accepted.Under these circumstances Levin summoned up courage to invite Kitty, which she readily accepted.Grisha followed suit, and he couldn't find any other girls, so he asked his sister, and Nikolay, to join in, forming a chaotic threesome dance.

"Uncle Sludin, why don't you go find a girl?" Seryozha continued to ask the single person with his head raised.

"Except for me, I only dance with girls, I don't think about boys." Seryozha said seriously, as if he was convinced that he was hot.

"Why are you driving us all away?" Sludin bent down and pinched Seryozha's face.

"It's a dance, and it's a happy dance. My mother doesn't want to dance, and my father and I have to stay with her, and we'll be happy when we're with her. Uncle Flamekill is gone, you There's only one person, so go find another companion." Seryozha spoke earnestly, as if Sludin were a poor man without a companion at the moment.

"You are so," Srudin sighed, and kissed Seryozha on the cheek. "It's so cute!"

Seryozha felt dizzy from Sludin's sudden kiss.

"Father, next time you have to tell Uncle Sludin that it is not a good habit to kiss others casually, you have to change." He looked at his father helplessly, as if to say, look, you care about me every day, but Uncle Sludin is right under your nose and you didn't manage him well, so I have to worry about it.

"Seryozha, Sludin belongs to the free people and is not under my control." Karenin was fine now, so he was happy to have some light words with his son.

"Then hurry up and include Uncle Sludin. He has the habit of picking up cats and dogs at random, and he even picked up an uncle just now." Seryozha sighed exaggeratedly.

"Seryozha, you also have this habit." Karenin pointed out his son's shortcomings lightly.

Seryozha raised his small eyebrows: "No, I didn't, you remember wrong, father."

"No, you did. Before you were three years old, you once picked up frogs and kept them in my favorite pair of leather shoes." Karenin said in a calm tone, but he recounted the day in words. situation.

That was the first time he experienced the feeling of fear. Inside his familiar and very comfortable shoes, there was a frog with a bulging belly, and his son even blamed him for stepping on the frog.For a while, the frog incident did cast a shadow on Karenin's mind.
