"Have you chosen this one to go to your cousin's today?"

Anna glanced down at herself, a burgundy low-necked velvet dress, and for matching, she chose a bright diamond as a necklace. She didn't think there was anything inappropriate about this body, or did she ......

Anna looked up at Karenin's attire, which was almost the same civilian uniform for ten thousand years, but judging from his daily and occasional clothing habits, he was not a man of bad taste.

In a few glances, because Anna did not hide her thoughts, Karenin knew what she was thinking. For this, he almost wanted to sigh at the woman's mind.

"There will be a snow today, if there is no accident, after three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather will be even colder, I personally suggest, you better change to a warmer set."

That's what it meant.

Anna looked at Karenin and smiled, and she said half-truthfully: "But I am going to the tea party of Petersy, and I cannot be compared to her." ”

Karenin pursed his lips and said, "Anna, you didn't really care about that before. And you've not been in good health lately, considering your health......"

"Alexey." Anna interrupted Karenin.

This is rare, and usually, when they are married to each other, it is always the husband who opens his mouth and the wife listens, or, when the wife says some interesting things at the banquet, the husband does not interject, but only expresses his opinion at the right time. Respecting each other as guests may be a good fit for them.

So, being interrupted, for Karenin, was almost somewhat unexpected.

In officialdom, if he is interrupted, it means a kind of interference in power, it is not a joke, it will be a contest.

Everyone will not hesitate to convince the other for their own self-interest goals, or, overpowering the other, in order to win.

Karenin almost subconsciously wanted to bring out the officialdom, but when he saw those gray eyes, he suddenly sobered up. This is not something that is a matter of arguing over old and new proposals.

Anna looked at Karenin's rapid flashing and suddenly couldn't help but laugh. She covered her face with her hands.

Karenin understood when Anna's gray eyes began to blink that it was just a joke. To his surprise, though, it was his wife teasing him.

As a somewhat stern government official in his thirties, he had never encountered such a joke after the lines on his cheeks became more and more profound.

"I think your advice is feasible. Although the vanity of the woman is very strong, and I was also overwhelmed just now, I will listen to your advice, Alexei. Anna smiled and said that now, she only felt a sense of steadiness and warmth in her heart.

She is not the kind of woman who likes to be controlled, if according to her natural nature, the moment she hears Karenin's construction, she will specifically deal with him. However, life has sharpened some of her edges and corners, making her care more about that little care.

She didn't think that the slightest cold wind would make her sick, but she was willing to give up the argument for the moment, and think later how she would explain herself to the noble ladies who had nothing to do but to dress when she appeared at the house wrapped in a thick coat.

"That's good, Anna."

Karenin's mildness towards Anna was like a rediscovery of his hands and feet, or rather, a way to which he was accustomed. He regained his composure and peace, and no longer thought about things that were contrary to his habits of life and feelings.

"So, what do you think of this purple coat?" Anna walked over to the closet and opened it.

There is always a surprising number of women's clothing, and they are often very expensive.

Karenin did not approve of this useless luxury, but he never interfered.

He likes to be asked questions, which is in keeping with his personality of talking, but Karenin's "talk" is generally confined to his political affairs. In life, he is not the kind of person who likes to put himself in the spotlight.

He generally did not care about the affairs of women's families, but if someone asked, Karenin would patiently move his noble head.

However, few women would take the initiative to ask about his kind of people. At present, almost only Countess Legia has the courage to do so, and his wife has almost never asked.

"I'll build yì you and then match this light purple hat, I heard that this has been popular recently. Velvet roses are a bit outdated, and artificial flowers are a nice touch. The man spoke his opinion calmly until he saw his wife looking at him with some surprise.

It had nothing to do with admiration, and Karenin didn't care, and simply explained: "The ambassador's wife who came before revealed it." ”

Anna took the hat and tried it on for herself, then twisted her cheek slightly and chuckled, "I know, you don't like these." ”

"Anna, for me, preference is never the most important thing......"

"I know it's good and useful to help you achieve your goals, right?" Anna said nonchalantly, continuing to adjust the angle of her hat.

Again interrupted, but Karenin was not angry. He just nodded, almost with a hint of pleasure: "Exactly. ”

After all, his utilitarianism is not something that everyone can understand, nor can anyone talk about it.

In this era, although the aristocracy was mostly useless straw bales, whether it was male physiology or heart, ordinary people still wanted their own wives to see them as honest and upright great men.

Some clever ladies will always satisfy these husbands like mothers satisfy their children, while some clumsy ones will only question them with trepidation, but in this context and the ideas they have formed since childhood, the latter choose to ignore and forget. The way of self-hypnosis.

Karenin didn't care much about anything other than politics, and he never had time to learn this idea of socializing, so when Anna agreed with him, didn't question it, and continued as usual, he was only happy, completely unaware that perhaps there was no such bold person as his wife in all of Russia's high society.

And Anna, that's purely because she doesn't care about other people. Her cold personality makes it difficult for her to really fit in, but it fits the needs of people like Karenin.

Crooked? A match made in heaven? This interesting couple didn't realize that both of them were so different from the rest of the world.

If they weren't together, I'm afraid they would soon notice this disharmony, but they happened to be together, so it was all natural.
