Chapter 5 (1/2)
It's really busy preparing for weddings, especially this aristocratic wedding.
Madame tiriere had been worried that their hasty marriage would make people laugh, but I did not know what method Karenin used. They could only hear blessing.
Anna never thought about what she would look like when she got married. If it was true that little girls yearned for prince charming when she was a child, it is not practical to compare them now.
First of all, she is not a princess and Karenin is not a prince.
It's strange that, perhaps in other people's eyes, this is an aristocratic luxury wedding, while in Anna's view, it is just that she is about to marry the person she likes.
Although it was her wedding, she was not allowed to express too much opinion.
Now that she has such a secure status, she must make some sacrifice. It didn't pay to fight, and she had never experienced such a wedding. In such a good mood, they finally got almost everything ready and took the train to Petersburg.
Anna's maid, anuska, looked more nervous than Anna herself. She had come for the third time to ask if Anna wanted a drink.
”Sit down and have a rest, anuska.” Anna said with a smile.
Anuska took a hard breath and said, ”Miss, I can't really sit down.”
”Oh, then you will stand for a moment.” Anna said deliberately. Anuska took a look at her. Along with getting along with Anna, she has now opened up a lot, but still retains the duty that a maid should have and will not violate.
During this period, Tao Li always came to accompany her to relieve her boredom. They said a lot of things. The original intention of Tao Li is to comfort Anna and keep her in a good mood for her marriage, but in the end, she finds that no matter what she says, Anna is a happy look.
Despite her curiosity, Tori is not skyward, and her good upbringing prevents her from directly asking Anna why.
Now and then, as if it had not been for him to object to the marriage, he had been in a happy mood.
Anna likes skyward, his big smile and his little jokes.
Although Anna's cousin, Dunia, is the eldest daughter of a large family, she is not very generous. Especially after she married a weak husband, she does not like Anna who still has numerous choices. But now, look at their endings. Even though her husband is cowardly, she is still young. The man who is going to be Anna's husband is old and rigid.
Because of this comparison, Dunia always looked at Anna with a kind of aloofness and sympathy.
Anna doesn't take these things to heart. She didn't have to be angry at people like Dunia. She just had to think about her wedding and the man who was going to be her husband.
The train clattered through Moscow and, after a tiring journey, took them to Petersburg.
When they got off the train, they soon saw Karenin and his servants.
Karenin didn't dress up to the eye. He was wearing a civilian uniform that he didn't have time to change after work. He was wearing a dark woolen overcoat. His uniform trousers covered his socks properly. He didn't wear a hat, perhaps to make it easier for Anna and them to see him.
The cold wind made Karenin's hair a little disordered. When Anna saw him, he was still looking, but before long, his eyes were locked on her. So she showed a sweet smile in the crowd. Even if it is covered under the hat of the grid, the smile is still like a ray of sunshine, lighting up the whole space in an instant.
Karenin pressed down some palpitating thoughts in his heart, and he stepped up quickly.
According to the reception process, he first exchanged greetings with Madame Terrier, followed by his brother-in-law, and finally his little wife.
Anna can't talk too much with Karenin. She knows it's some kind of rule. Even if they're going to be married in the next hour, they're not allowed to be too intimate as long as they haven't.
perhaps in this era of people, this is noble and reserved and elegant, but Anna can not help but make complaints about it, after all, it is her and his wedding, is not it?
But no matter how dissatisfied, she has to accept the reality.
They went to the best hotel in Petersburg in the coach arranged by Karenin, and their wedding was less than three days away.
After returning them to their respective rooms, anuska told Anna that Karenin had left.
Anna made an ugly look, she sighed, and soon there was a knock at the door. Anuska answers the door.
”Who is it?” Anna asked.
”It's for you to stop sighing.” Anuska covered his mouth and laughed.
Anna's eyes brightened when she saw the letter.
She opened the letter, took out a piece of paper, the familiar font into her eyes, and finally attracted her Chi Chi Chi Chi smile.
Anuska did not inquire what the gentleman had written to his young lady. She was a good maid, and she sat in her chair and continued to weave.In those three days, according to the tradition, they were not allowed to meet, but no one stipulated that they could not communicate by letter!
Anna traced Karenin's face in her heart, and finally marked the word ”cunning” on the man's nose, which made her giggle.
On the day before their marriage, Russian men have their own last single night celebration.
