Chapter 68 (1/2)

They got everything ready in the evening.

The guests came in one after another.

Those black and red faces were a little excited and a little embarrassed. After all, they have hardly ever received such a formal invitation in their life.

Considering Karenin's identity, Anna crossed out the guests further away. Most of them worked for Karenin's land in the countryside, so the yard could accommodate all of them.

Naska and her parents were there.

Anna looked for a while before she saw them, standing by an ordinary oak tree, not at all conspicuous, as if they were talking quietly. She smiles, happy to realize that the family didn't have those thoughts.

”What do you see?” Karenin approached and asked.

Anna looked sideways at each other.

The man wore a dark grey woolen suit, which was different from the satin suit or tuxedo he usually wore to a party. This one seems less rigorous.

In the same way, his hair was not completely combed into a bright, sharp back like he did when he went to that circle, but he only took care of it a little. Hair oil is still essential, just as civilized cane and top hat are just a matter of quantity for a gentleman.

Karenin was not a person who was very concerned about dress, but Anna had to praise her husband, who really had good taste.

She doesn't always give too much comment on her dress, even though she does it. In fact, she has hardly said anything since they got married.

The appearance of his men, or to his colleagues to see what kind of taste they should give her.

Generally speaking, in addition to the joy and admiration that his personal demeanor often brings to Anna, in terms of clothing, she can accurately interpret his mood from it, and occasionally, just like this time, because she did something, he changed from a tense state to a relaxed one. It was more than anything. Anna felt a sense of accomplishment.

A woman's loveliness is not only about her appearance, but also about her intelligence in judging the situation. Wisdom and talent are always limited, and God is reluctant to give all the advantages to one person. Therefore, people who know how to be satisfied at the most appropriate time are always more likable. It's also a secret of happiness in marriage.

”I saw my handsome husband.” She lowered her voice and said sweetly, then opened her gray eyes for his response.

The word handsome is no stranger to Karenin.

From the word meaning, handsome refers to the appearance, demeanor and intelligence are superior praise meaning. Karenin is not stingy, occasionally praises someone in the exploratory conversation of his colleagues, so as to achieve the purpose of making things carried out in a more concise way. But for himself, he was extremely mean.

Karenin even his own intelligence, but he is more willing to agree with his diligence and seriousness. Therefore, most people's compliments on his intelligence can't make him happy from the bottom of his heart, because such people either ask for him or because they are too stupid.

He is at least qualified for demeanor when necessary, but most of the time he is more willing to block those people with indifference. There are reasons for the existence of things, but the likes and dislikes of personal emotions are also inevitable. Although Karenin always tried to hide and dilute this in front of people.

Then foreign trade. Even at his youngest age, Karenin knew that he was not handsome.

And his face was too long and hard. His eyes were so soft that he tried his best to weaken the disadvantage after he entered politics.

His nose, which he himself was quite satisfied with, had a slight bulge in the middle, but the lines were very neat. When he looks down a little, the profile of the tip of his nose is like eyelashes, which can camouflage some of his looks.

Karenin did not do that often.

He was referring to the look of contemplation. He knew that he would not over expose anything, but even if there was a little possibility, his extremely restrained and rigorous character was absolutely not allowed.

Now, as his wife came closer and closer to the secret zone in his heart, he was less alert to her.

Therefore, in this extremely relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, his wife suddenly praised the government officials, who were always known for their quick wits.

Soon, though, Karenin's tongue regained its former quickness.

”The word” handsome ”is not so strict with me, but obviously, on the whole, I can bring you this feeling, which is also a pleasure.”

He seriously and peacefully expressed to Anna that he knew he was not very handsome, but he also recognized her praise for him. This completely amused Anna.

She knew that she could never expect Karenin to say something like ”you're more beautiful” or ”I think so too” at the next moment, accompanied by an affectionate kiss or a teasing smile.He is Karenin. When he was young, he must be one of those people who like to choose the same chair at the same time, brush the corners of his clothes, and then sit quietly in the library for an afternoon. Like the lines of wooden tables and chairs, they have not smooth but distinct texture, so that people will not doubt its authenticity.

Anna thought, and then asked.

In her imagination, such a strict and boring habit like a ascetic is like a peach blossom petal with poetic and melancholy.

Their original meaning should be something to ferment feelings in lovers, but if they are handed over by their masters to people like Karenin, the poetic flavor will be completely stripped off carelessly. There is only a little bit of sophistication and commonness left.

”That's a more extravagant idea. I had a lot to learn in the beginning, and my temper was not good at that time Karenin narrated it lightly.
