Madame Bovary Reborn

Charles didn't know how to flatter such a superior lady, because it was the first time he encountered such a situation.In a hurry, Charles fetched a glass of ice water from the plate, presumably to make his partner more comfortable.Seeing that he was ignorant of the world, the Marquise found him even more lovely.Yes, it would be annoying if he took advantage of the opportunity like those veterans.She didn't think about her age, she had passed the good season of seduction.

"Are you feeling better?" Charles asked.His hand still held her shoulder, which was more like a doctor's instinct.The Marquise half-opened her eyes, and said in a low voice: "I'm tired, I haven't been this happy for a long time..." Although she is no longer young, she is still a beauty made of fragrant powder and fragrant flowers, and the aftertaste still exists.At this time, her voice was soft and her eyes were blurred. It was obvious that she was a good hand at seducing men.Charles is a man who has been married twice, and the gesture of a woman is obviously a strong hint.The shock in Charles' heart was greater than the panic, but unfortunately she is a bit old, Charles thought so, besides, I already have a wife, he warned himself like this.So he couldn't let his weak partner go away out of courtesy, so he had to accompany him.

Emma saw the Marquise and Charles from a distance, just like those beautiful stories she used to know, ladies like whim the most, they are tired of ordinary married life, they always like to raise some things to please themselves In addition to those pink and tender teenagers, there are also some unexpected characters. For example, it is said that Princess Anne sleeps and flies with her own coachman every night. He is vulgar and strong, and he is very pleasing to the princess.Oh, it seems that the Marchioness also seems to have something else on her mind.

She glanced at the Marquis of Anderville, who was not far away, and couldn't believe that this man couldn't see his wife's spring tide, but he was obviously indifferent.The Marquis of Anderville's ancestors had some glory, but they were not very prominent.It is all thanks to his father-in-law that he can have today, so the Marquis has never dared to disobey his wife, and she is by no means ignorant of the general situation.She won't do anything out of the ordinary in public, as for the secrets, let her do it.Emma sat on her seat, the lights in the dance hall were dim, and it was almost midnight. Guests were saying goodbye and going home one after another. The Marquis took the opportunity to go out to see them off, watching one after another of the carriages disappear into the confused night.

Emma, ​​holding a silver-plated shell in her hand, ate cherry shaved ice while watching the Marchioness pretending.Charles seemed to be moved by her, the Marquise stood up with his hand, and the two seemed to be going upstairs.Emma frowned and was thinking about what to do, but Viscount Alexander appeared out of nowhere and stopped his wife to say a few words, and Charles walked towards Emma as if fleeing.The Marquise looked worried, but she didn't lose her temper. A person who looked like a personal maid came and helped her upstairs.

Charles wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had a vague feeling that what happened just now might get out of hand, but he couldn't accurately realize the danger.Emma handed him a glass of chilled champagne without making a sound. While Charles was drinking, a gust of cold air rushed into his throat, his head suddenly became clearer, and he quickly drank the wine in the glass.Viscount Alexander came over, glanced at Emma first, and then said to Charles: "Sir, are you interested in gambling with me?" Charles has never been to a gambling house, which is also a pity in his life. He didn't have this before. Courage, but alcohol gave him courage, and he walked towards the gaming table pointed by the Viscount without discussing it with Emma.

"I helped you save him from that woman, how can you thank me?" The Viscount deliberately stayed behind, almost whispering to Emma.Emma was annoyed for a while, but her face remained calm: "I can't understand what you are talking about." The viscount pretended to be chic, but he had an expression of determination, which made Emma feel sick.In the previous life, she was fascinated by him. With such a frivolous and shallow appearance, if she didn't want to make enemies casually, she would have thrown the wine glass in his face long ago.

Emma left him, simply stood up and went to the gaming table.

Novices are most welcome at the gaming table, because these people are inexperienced and are the easiest to spend a lot of money. Charles stood aside and watched others place bets with relish. After several rounds, he finally called his chips.Unexpectedly, the luck was so good that even Emma was dumbfounded.Charles won three games in a row, earning two thousand francs.Everyone didn't know why this countryman was so lucky, so they instigated him to make another big one.Charles was naturally very tempted, but Emma said firmly: "Let's go, it's time for supper." Charles obeyed his wife's orders.

The supper was very rich, with Spanish wine and almond milk soup, all kinds of sauced meat on the silver plate, and English pudding for dessert. Except for the overnight guests, everyone else basically left.Charles was already hungry, and dancing was no easy task.Emma didn't control him to eat this time, and accompanied him to drink Rhine wine to his heart's content.The band stopped and was also replenishing energy. The Marquise did not come down after going upstairs, and only the Marquis was warmly entertaining the guests.Emma sneered when she saw him flirting with a lady.After supper, there are guests planning to dance, after all, it is not yet dawn.Emma and Charles quietly returned to the room.

It was raining a little outside, Emma opened the window, the outline of the castle was looming, and the lively music in the living room seemed to be heard in the room, Xia Erduo drank two glasses of wine, his face turned red, he walked over rudely Putting his arms around his wife's waist, the smell of wine sprayed into Emma's neck, and Charles muttered, "Go to sleep, eh?" Emma's embroidered shoulder scarf was rubbed to the ground by his face, and the cool breeze When the air came into the room, Emma couldn't help shrinking into her husband's arms.Charles picked her up, and the blanket was warm, with the scent of gardenias.

It was almost noon when I woke up, and I heard the maid said that all the guests had left, except the two of them.The Marquis of Anderville and his wife were waiting for the Bovary couple to have lunch together. Thinking of the expression of the Marquise Charles, Emma combed her hair in front of the mirror and asked seemingly inadvertently: "What's wrong? My dear, It seems that you are not very happy." Charles didn't want to tell his wife that the woman's eyes were greedy and full of desire, and he couldn't explain why.Emma watched in the mirror as he put his head down in his leather boots, his tousled hair revealing his nightly debauchery.

By the time the two had tidied up, a banquet had already begun in the dining room. Besides the Marquis of Anderville and his wife, there was also a guest who lived in the castle, Viscount Alexander.

"Did you rest well last night?" the Marquis asked the young couple kindly.Emma nodded with a smile, praising the tranquility of the castle and adapting to rest.The Marquis glanced at the Marquise, and made another invitation. Emma only smiled.The Marchioness ordered a large cream pie and steaming steamed quail as if no one was there.Unexpectedly, the Rafa couple had already left. It was the Marquis who called a carriage for them, because Mr. Rafa had to go to Rouen in the afternoon.

Emma thanked the Marquis and his wife for their hospitality, and everyone had dinner together.Viscount Alexander expressed regret that it was time for him to return to Paris. He originally planned to have a satisfying hunt, but obviously this little lady was not willing to be easily deceived. The lights were dim in the middle of the night, and the guests scattered around. Her man was obviously interested in gambling. Already addicted, let him go!He could take her dancing on, then in the garden, in the stables, in the pine shed, even behind floor-to-ceiling curtains, goodness what a time!But he watched Emma and Charles go back to the room together.

Viscount Alexander bid farewell to the Bovary couple, hoping to have the opportunity to meet in Vaubissa.Emma was noncommittal, and Charles reluctantly responded. Although it was not brilliant, it was not wrong.After declining the Marquis' invitation to visit the conservatory, Emma and Charles planned to go home so that they could reach Toth before dark.The Marchioness sent a box of good cigars, and Charles had to put them away.Seeing them coming, Marshall put down the carriage stool, Emma helped Charles' hand into the carriage, Charles looked back, and the whole castle fell silent again.
