Dressing as Anna Karenina's Dame Life

"I miss him too." Seryozha sighed softly. He missed the blond boy with his bad temper.

"You can meet again in summer." Anna rubbed the little guy's head to comfort him, and the latter raised his face and smiled to show that he was fine.

Annushka came in to let go of some bad things. As usual, Countess Lydia chatted with Anna about some charitable things. We both have hearts like ice cubes. Thanks to her blessing, Anna's life is more interesting. The more she knows, the more she likes this straightforward lady herself.

After drinking the third cup of black tea, Countess Lydia suddenly mentioned Count Vronsky, saying that he would participate in the horse race that day, but Anna only responded to show that she understood.

After returning from Moscow, Anna also thought about it. She really did something wrong, so she decided not to meet with Vronsky in private in the future. No matter what, she had already made up her mind, and she would always be serious at that time. on the man.

On the day of the horse race, Karenin and Sludin, as important officials, were in charge of entertaining distinguished guests from afar. The two had been standing for a long time, and Sludin quickly yawned and stretched while there was no one around. It was after doing all kinds of inappropriate things under Karenin's squinting gaze that he continued to receive them with a smile on his face.

"Has your wife not come yet?" Sludin asked half an hour later.

"Soon," Karenin replied casually.

Not long after, someone informed Karenin that Anna and the others had come and were at the door.Karenin decided to pick them up in person, and it happened to be a break, and Sludin also joined in the fun.

"Here, Alexei!" Anna waved and called, and the man averted his eyes and walked over.

"Hello, countess." Karenin kissed hands, and the latter greeted with a smile.

Seryozha walked around his father, squinted his eyes and praised: "Father, you look so good in this uniform!"

After being praised by his son, even the unsmiling Karenin raised the corners of his lips slightly. Anna also looked at him, and finally concluded that his son's eyesight was indeed good.

The man is taller, not fat, and the straight civil service uniform is charming, especially when he is expressionless, it looks like a sculpture, but this sculpture is a bit old, she thought about it It can't help but lean towards the funny direction.

There was another ringing of the bell, and several people looked up, only to see an exquisite carriage with an unusually high seat came into everyone's eyes, a groom with his chin up raised his whip and waved his whip in a grand manner, and the leather harness gleamed a little in the sun Shiny, and on the seat was a handsome beauty, Duchess Betsy.

Betsy saw Anna when she was still in the carriage, and she was a little excited. They haven't met since Anna came back from Moscow. She sent invitations, but the latter was always delayed by something. She can finally meet her.

"Oh, Anna, let me see you." Betsy walked over with her skirt lifted, her eyes curved beautifully.

"Hi, Betsy." Anna greeted with a smile.

Betsy and Anna said something affectionately, and then greeted the rest of the people. Although it was a little rude, but her unaffected behavior, no one could really bear to say anything, except Countess Leah, she was really She didn't like Betsy, and felt that the other party was a woman full of flowers, four words, unrealistic, she snorted in her heart.

Lydia doesn't like herself, Betsy is not a fool, how can she not know, she also looks down on him, she looks average, and she always goes around in those poor people's kilns, and she doesn't speak like a lady She has a certain tolerance, and when she thinks about it, she feels a little sympathetic to the other party. She was abandoned by her husband at a young age. At that time, this matter was a joke in the whole circle, so she looked at Lydia again and again. Unconsciously, there was a bit of sympathy, and at the same time, he decided generously in his heart not to care about the other party.

Faced with Betsy's gaze, how could she not understand it, but it was indeed true, and there was no way to refute it. Thinking of this, Lydia couldn't help feeling a little sad about her fate, But soon, these thoughts faded away, because Seryozha's words were full of fun.

"Children are angels." She sighed in her heart, and at the same time strengthened her determination to dedicate herself to charity.

Karenin led the way and led the three ladies to a well-decorated pavilion. There were many people from the upper class gathered there, and the scenery was open, and they could have a panoramic view of the racetrack. It was a good seat. Countless ribbons, feathers and flowers made Karenin wrinkle his nose because of the overly strong perfume.

Relying on his pleasing face and clever mouth, Sludin won a position with a good view for several people. Countess Lydia repeatedly praised him as a capable young man. The latter did not blush and smiled. Received all the compliments.

Serio Sharara's mother's hand, who lowered his head and asked him what was wrong with his eyes.

"Mom, Dad looks amazing." The boy said in a low voice, but his big bright eyes told Anna clearly that he was very excited.

Anna blinked and looked at the man walking ahead. Indeed, there were always various people talking to him along the way. Some of them had lower official positions than him, and a few of them had higher positions than him. Karenin He handled it with ease, his smile was very decent, neither too hypocritical nor too warm, it was exactly the expression that a political official should have, shrewd and funny.

"Then I'll leave first, take your time and tell Mikhail Vasilyevich if you need anything."

"Okay, go get busy, Alexei." Anna responded.

"Goodbye, Dad!" Seryozha waved his little hand, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth, so cute that one would want to kiss him anytime.

"See you later, son," said Karenin, smiling.

After the man left, Anna sat down with Seryozha, and Sludin brought some food, and Seryozha felt that he liked him even more.

At this time, Betsy suddenly made a sound. She was talking to the minister's wife, but suddenly she came over and pointed to the racetrack with a smile and whispered in Anna's ear.

"Anna, Count Vronsky will be there too, and he will be there today."

"Oh, yes, then he has to work harder, it looks like this game will not be easy." Anna glanced at the physiques of some players who were ready to play and said with a smile.

"My poor Vronsky, in fact, I didn't approve of him participating in such a race. It's too dangerous, and some time ago, an officer fell down during horse racing practice and broke two ribs. What?" said Betsy in an operatic tone.

Before Anna could say anything, Countess Lydia sent the correct message first.

"No, Betsy, you are wrong to say that. Exercise helps to strengthen a man's physique, and men are much more handsome on horseback than they are usually."

"Oh, of course, Lydia, but as a wife, I'm more worried about my husband's health than these superficial things." Betsy retorted, her words made Lydia flush, socially Everyone in the circle knew that she had separated from her husband a long time ago, and the relationship between Betsy and her husband has always been a model in the circle.

"If the ladies don't mind, I'd like to make some comments, although I'm a civil servant." Sludin cut in with a smile, his round face and smiling expression like a shot of slime, softened a little This bad rage.

"Tell me, I want to hear it." Seryozha said loudly. He hoped to understand his father's thoughts better. After all, Uncle Sludin and his father are so good. Children always have very keen eyesight, even if their father is not Never praised Srudin in public, but he knew it.

"What a sweet little guy, Mrs. Karenin, your son is so cute." Sludin rubbed the little guy's head and said with a smile.

"Tell me, I want to hear it too." Anna smiled. In her private heart, she was more inclined to Lydia's side, but she couldn't easily offend Betsy, after all, whether it was from blood relationship or her husband. For the official position, this is not a good thing.

"This thing is indeed dangerous. I heard an old friend of mine say that falling off a horse is not a joke. The news you heard, Madam, is still light. It is a terrible thing to be sent to heaven by a horse. Not a minority."

"Look, that's what I think. It's a barbaric game. If it wasn't for Vronsky, I wouldn't want to come." Betsy sighed. She was really afraid of seeing those bloody things. But if there is a lot of fear, there is also a third of it. After all, as a high-class lady, it is not a good thing if a man likes this sport as much.

Sludin was not upset when he was interrupted. He loosened his frown and said in a cheerful tone, "However, historically speaking, it is still very meaningful." How should I put it? ? " Lydia also interjected.

Sludin made a gesture, "Do you still remember Britain? If we say that the reason why Britain has left us such outstanding achievements and backs in military history, it is all due to the success of their soldiers and horses." He paused All of a sudden, the playful expression on his face subsided, and was replaced by a somewhat dignified, not so Srudin expression.

"Riding a horse exercises people's muscles and courage, and gives a banner of national belief. From this perspective, it is not a person who was kicked by a horse, but a nation." The last sentence is a bit embarrassing, There was a rare serious expression on that round face, and the women were all shocked, especially Betsy, who began to look at the young man in front of her with new eyes.

Seryozha stood up excitedly. He walked up to Srudin and said excitedly, "I want to ride a horse from now on, I want to be this banner, and I want to wear Dad's beautiful uniform!"

The last sentence made Anna and the others laugh. Sliudin hugged the little guy in his arms and rubbed it, and said with a big laugh: "My dear Seryozha, your father is in the uniform of a civil servant. If you want to be ...If you want to be a flag, you have to be a military officer, and the clothes are even more handsome."

"But... but your father's." Seryozha was confused, he thought his father looked good in that dress.

"But it's for civil servants, don't you want to be a military officer?"

"Then... that's fine." Seryozha compromised and sighed softly in his heart, but soon he cheered up again, because he could go home and tell his father that the clothes would be left to him later. , After figuring this out, the kid Sergey sat happily in his mother's arms again.

"Anna, what do you want Seryozha to do?" Lydia asked with a smile.

"As long as he likes it, anything is fine."

"This is not possible, we have to plan carefully, but children cannot be self-willed, we have to plan a good future for them." Lydia said disapprovingly.

"I just want him to grow up healthy and healthy. As for the future, it's useless to worry about it now." Anna smiled and said that she didn't care too much. She really didn't care, even if Seryozha couldn't become something great. But as long as he is happy, it is more precious than anything else. If he likes natural science, then I support him to be a scholar. If he likes sailing, then I support him to find a job on the ship. Sailor or captain, as he likes.

"I really like Mrs. Karenin's idea. Boys have to let them go on their own. I think I was like that at the beginning. My father always thought I couldn't do anything, but look now, I'm doing pretty well. ’” said Sludin, blinking his eyes, and his exaggerated tone made the ladies laugh, and Seryozha put the matter aside for the time being.

"Look, they're about to start the race! The four-mile obstacle course that Vronsky is about to start!" Betsy shouted, and several people looked over, and saw that the horses to compete in the racetrack had already taken their positions, The players came out one after another, and Vronsky, striding up in his racing attire, seemed to glance towards the audience, but Anna was not sure.

The man got on the horse, his neat figure and handsome face made some of the ladies present start talking about him.

The crowd stood up, and the riders set off. Betsy next to her was holding her fan tightly. Seryosha couldn't see it. Sludin was about to let him ride on her neck when Karenin came over. up.

"I'll do it," he said, holding his son in his arms. The latter looked at Srudin's strong neck, then at his father's stern chin, and sighed. The enthusiastic Srudin took the little boy Words are spoken for speaking.

"I think he might want to ride on your neck more, just like that father and son." Sludin pouted, and the father and son at the far end were doing so.

Karenin lowered his head and asked his son, "Do you like it?"

Seryozha nodded, although he was not very hopeful, but he still reflected his feelings honestly.

"Okay then." With simple words, Karenin agreed, and with Seryozha's excited expression, he put his son on his neck, adjusted his posture and reminded: "Be careful, Seryozha. "

"I will, Dad!" The boy replied, his whole little face turned red, and his big eyes became more sparkling because of excitement.

Anna looked at the father and son with a smile on her lips. She turned her head and said to the young man, "Thank you, Mikhail Vasilyevich."

"You're welcome, ma'am, I want to see his reaction too." Sludin lowered his voice and said with a mischievous look in his eyes.

He is such a nice guy, and very funny, Anna thought to herself.

The horse race seemed to have entered j□j, Vronsky seemed to have a good chance of winning, and some people beside him had already started betting, among them Lydia and Betsy were the most excited.

"Princess, let's make a bet!" Lydia said this. Her cheeks were flushed and her plump breasts heaved and heaved, showing the excitement of the master.

"What's the bet?" Betsy twirled her hair and laughed.

"I bet Prince Kuzovlev will win."

"Then I must be betting on Vronsky!" Betsy said in a proud tone, she suddenly turned her head to look at Anna and blinked, "And you, Anna, who do you bet on?"

Anna froze for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "I don't know for sure, so I won't get involved."

"Alright then." Betsy withdrew her gaze in disappointment. After all, the game was so fascinating, she didn't want to miss any moment.

Anna looked up at Karenin next to her. The latter seemed not to have heard what she said just now, and still maintained that cautious posture. The two arms protecting Sergei looked very strong, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. The meaning is clearly happy.

The woman shook her head and got close to the other party, holding the corner of the other party's uniform with her small hand, not afraid of getting it wrinkled, she just leaned on it naturally, not caring about everyone's gaze, as if it should be so.

Seeing that Prince Kuzovlev was about to win the championship first, but fell down by the river, Lydia cried out, looking very painful, while Betsy was even more convinced that Vronsky would win .The race entered j□j, everyone's faces were extremely excited, and they could not wait to rush down to the racecourse. Some ladies even stood on tiptoe unconsciously, and the men's cigars even burned their hands.

Another person fell down, already number 17, and everyone's hearts were suspended. Seryozha even unconsciously grabbed his father's hair, which made Karenin frowned, but he didn't Speak out, although he is not good at riding horses, it does not prevent him from loving this sport.

"Oops!" Betsy suddenly yelled, and Seryozha scratched his father's hair again. He was startled by the woman's shrill voice, and looked at her with big eyes in astonishment. It seemed like the sky was falling down.

Betsy slumped on the seat, Spar covered her eyes and murmured words like God, the race couldn't be terminated because of Vronsky's falling horse, and it was still going on, a gunshot ended the horse In the distance, Vronsky couldn't see the expression of his son's life, but he also knew that it would not be very good. "I don't want to watch this kind of game anymore, it's really worrying." Lydia murmured, she even took out a silk handkerchief to wipe away her tears, her chest was still trembling slightly, and there were tears in her eyes.

Seryozha, however, looked at the horse distressedly. He liked the maroon coat color very much. He said to his father with some grievances: "Dad, let me down, I don't want to look at it."

Karenin held Seryozha in his arms, Anna wiped his tears, and the crowd was already boiling, because the champion was born, not Prince Kuzovlev, not Vronsky, but another not so good A man who is favored.

Countess Lydia and Betsy both miscalculated, and only one was happy, and that was Srudding.

"Oh, you said this, I just really like his pair of riding boots." The young man answered Lydia's question with a blink of an eye, and he seemed to be smiling. His optimistic and unaffected expression amused Li Dia. Diya, that gloomy mood seems to have dissipated a lot.

"Anna, let's go and see Vronsky." While a general was talking to Karenin, Betsy whispered to Anna.

"How can I go?" Anna said in surprise.

"Anna, you can't help but feel it. That silly boy likes you. He's at a low point in his life right now. Even as a friend, please visit him and give him some encouragement."

"Betsy, I regret what happened to Count Vronsky today, but I can't go." Anna refused directly.

"Why?

"My husband and my son are here, and no matter what, I can't go to see him privately, even if it's just some consolation. As you said, Vronsky admires me, so I can't go to see him at this time." he."

"Anna, I don't know you anymore. You got along well with Vronsky last time. I thought you were friends." Betsy hoped to change her mind by reminding Anna of this matter, but she didn't expect That was even more counterproductive.

Anna blushed slightly, she remembered that irrational behavior, she exhaled, her gray eyes became sharp.

"No, I still can't agree. If you mean the last time, I have to review my inappropriate behavior. Betsy, I love my husband, my son, and our family. I do not intend, nor will I allow these happiness and tranquility to be spoiled, and if someone tries to do something to spoil them, I will not suffer in silence."

Betsy looked dumbly at the woman in front of her. Under her thick eyelashes was a pair of determined eyes. Every word was like a sharp sword lying between them. She seemed to be defending something. She couldn't say anything more. If there is too much talking, I can only withdraw my gaze and temporarily close my mouth.

The author has something to say: Little Baozi adores his father more and more, Mr. Karenin also dotes on Little Baozi more and more, very good, very good, the heroine's thoughts have also been expressed, but [bad smile] Mr. Karenin seems to be Maybe there will be a little bit of jealousy in the future
