Anna blinked slowly.

The ceilings in the house were high, the ceiling was an elegant color, the drapery was down, and she lay under the quilt as if hiding in the ornate shell of a snail.

However, snails may be able to carry their shells on their backs, but humans cannot.

Anna got up and brushed her hair, she sat in front of the mirror in her nightgown, studying the face carefully.

Because I have been on a diet recently, the results have been remarkable.

The slender eyebrows hang above the eyes, pliable like willow branches, the eyelids are deep, and under the thick eyelashes are gray eyeballs.

When her cheeks were plump and her jaw was round, the owner of her body looked beautiful and gentle, but now, the master of her soul was replaced by her, with thin cheeks and slightly thin lips, and there was a mystery when she smiled lightly.

Anna tugged at her curly hair, looked at the people in the mirror, and felt that the long hair was not for her.

But in this day and age, what woman would lose this long hair?

Anna walked over to the curtain and pulled the bell, and not long after Yunina came in.

She sat on a stool, her long hair scattered, and Yunina quickly picked up the tongs and other tools.

"Madame, are you going out today?"

"It's not."

Yunina nodded, asking no more questions on the subject.

Anna looked at Yunina again in the mirror, and was even more satisfied with the little girl.

She's not the type who sees everyone as a friend just because she's from the modern era, and even in the modern era, the distinction between dignity and inferiority has never disappeared.

It would be funny if she made friends with the servants here and ate the tea and fruit they brought her with peace of mind.

"What about Seryosha?"

"The little master is still copying. This morning, the master took the test for his studies, and the little master answered very well in the front, and then forgot about it. ”

Anna answered.

At this time, as a mother, there is no doubt that she should comfort her son.

The long golden dress, pinched at the waist, the satin texture was a little shiny, and the fine white fox scarf was loosely wrapped around her shoulders by Anna.

Heavy makeup was not in vogue at this time, and Anna didn't put powder on herself, so she put on some lip moisturizers.

White people's skin is so good, no matter how good the foundation is, there is no such translucent effect, freckles are naturally unavoidable, but harmless.

Anna lifted the hem of her skirt and stood up.

Seryosha's study.

Karenin seems to have decided to nurture his son's independence and integrity from an early age, and the children's bedroom had a small study with rows of bookshelves that were almost full, and Seryosha used to look at them all the time within his reach.

When Anna entered, Seryosha looked up at her and looked surprised.

He threw down his quill, ran over, threw his little face up, and asked, "Mother, are you feeling better now?" ”

Anna knew what Karenin should have said, such as not bothering her for the time being.

She stroked Seryosha's hair and smiled, "Yes, it's completely fine." ”

Seryosha smiled again, but soon began to frown again.

"Mom, I had to finish them." Seryosha sighed, and he sat back down in front of his desk, his fingers picking up the quill and writing earnestly.

Anna watched for a moment, then smiled genuinely.

"Good boy." Anna said, kissing the top of the boy's head.

The boy smiled because he had received a kiss and a compliment, and his homework was less uncomfortable for him.

After leaving Seryosha's study, Anna was still thinking about what she should do to repay the "human debt" as soon as possible. Before she could figure it out, A.T. Kearney the butler said that the Duchess of Petsea had come to visit her.

"Petersy?"

Anna thought about it in her mind, and soon remembered the visit, and the fact that Petsy was her cousin.

It was supposed to be a few days ago, but the lady didn't really keep her promise.

"I'll go over here." Thoughts pause for a moment, Anna said.

She came to the reception room, where a young lady dressed fashionably and with a very good figure was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of Earl Grey tea. Beauty is like a flower, soft as a boneless, probably like this.

Anna saw that Petesy looked up at her, and a smile was already flowing in her eyes.

"Oh! Anna, dear! ”

The Duchess of Betsy gave Anna a warm hug, and she took the other hand, making her sit beside her, as warm and sweet as a sister.

The smell of the fragrance made Anna almost want to sneeze, but she held back.

Up close, the Duchess of Petsey is wearing makeup, her face is very white, but her eyebrows and eyes are vivid, and it doesn't seem to be annoying, but coquettish.

"You'll forgive me for not coming to see you sooner, right? The ambassador's wife was always pestering me, and my husband always asked me to accompany her. ”

"Aren't you here? Dear Petesi. Anna said with a smile. After meeting for the first time, the woman in front of me was classified as a smart person.

Petesy laughed, and her amorous eyes were romantic and feminine even when they were directed at women.

"You've lost a lot of weight, and it looks like Alexei Alexandrovich didn't take good care of you."

Petersea affectionately called Karenin's name, but the miraculous thing is that most people don't think it's because she thinks about Karenin herself, but only subconsciously feel that she is really a kind and lovely woman.

A natural socialist.

Anna made another comment about the Lady Petersy.

"You know, Petesi, how obsessed Alexei is with his duties, but he has always come back early to accompany me these days, and give me his time to watch his duties, what more can I ask of him? As for emaciation, alas, I wish he had been a cook not a government official, but unfortunately I can't really imagine what it would be like for him to take off his uniform and wear an apron. He's such a uniformed person after all! ”

Anna turned a few corners and praised her husband, and made the words sound a little playful, and the clever Petsea was a little surprised, but she only covered her mouth and laughed.

Anna held the teacup in one hand and took a sip, well, it tasted good.

Petsy blinked, and began to tell Anna about some of the things that had been going on in the circle lately, and then, like the Countess of Legia, she spoke of Karenin's secretary.

"He's so good-looking, how many women will love him, but he's a fool to have serious thoughts about such a stupid woman." Petersey said with regret.

Slightly surprised, Anna put down her teacup.

In this era, there is no Internet as an information pastime, and ordinary people in the circle do not know about it, so they can only spread it by word of mouth when drinking afternoon tea.

"How?" She asked, a little curious.

Pet tugged back his hair, looked at Anna with those beautiful eyes, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said with a smile in his slow voice: "A saint in a circle and a romantic and amorous young gentleman." ”
