Celebrity House [Anna]

Karenin looked at Anna for a while, then decided not to say anything more.

He lay down on the empty bed over there, and Seryozha slept soundly. After saying good night to each other, Karenin closed his eyes, and all three of them slept soundly that night.

Dolly's sister, Kitty, came the next morning.

It was an extremely dexterous girl with a slender frame and a girlish rosy skin. She was wearing a water-blue dress and her golden hair was coiled up. The only flaw was probably that her teeth were not good enough, so here At this time, because she cared about this issue, she didn't laugh like a child anymore.

"Anna, I haven't seen you for more than a year!" Kitty said to Anna with a surprised look after hugging Dolly.

Anna was glad that the little girl didn't give her a hug, she still didn't like this kind of unnecessary physical contact.

She looked at the little girl called Kitty, and then smiled and said, "You are a big girl, Kitty. You were a child when I saw you last year."

Anna's intimate words made Kitty's face blush, and she was between shy and lively at the moment, eager to get compliments from others.

"Of course she is, and many boys like her," said Oblonsky with a smile.

Facing her brother-in-law, Kitty snorted coldly. She just came back from France, on the one hand, she couldn't stand Natalia, and on the other hand, it was because she wanted to help Tao Li.

"I forgot, it's something you're passionate about to be liked."

A blush of embarrassment appeared on Oblonsky's pretty face, and he stopped talking embarrassingly.

"It's a girl with a lot of personality." Anna thought to herself.

"Where are the children?" asked Kitty, taking off her hat for the maid to put away.She naturally grew up in a honeypot, everything is so natural.

"It's class, and I told Seryozha to listen to it too. Otherwise Alexey Alexandrovitch won't be able to sit still," said Dolly.

Kitty tidied herself up, then looked at Karenin, and asked curiously, "Don't you need to deal with official documents in Petersburg?"

In addition to being delicate and pretty at her age, she always has a hint of vigor.

Most people would not like this kind of vigor, but Karenin quite appreciated it.

"I don't think it hurts to take them to Moscow to deal with."

"Sounds interesting." Kitty nodded. In fact, she didn't find it interesting at all, but her mother and other ladies in the social world always did, so in order to prove that she had grown up, she followed the example of adults. That set.

When Kitty was interacting with Karenin, Anna glanced at Karenin.

Kitty was not very interested in Karenin. When she was younger, Karenin was still a very serious person in her memory. She would never take the initiative to go up to him to say hello, but now, she wants her to grow up. How could she feel that Karenin wasn't scary at all?

Because of this, her confidence is even stronger.

"Seryozha is here too? I remember him still in your arms, Anna." Kitty said with some joy.

"Yes, he is as tall as Grisha now."

"I remember he was a little older than Grisha." Kitty was a little suspicious. "Boys are like their fathers, but your husband is tall, Anna."

"Ah, I think you'd better not say this in front of him, or he will be sad." Anna smiled, and Kitty nodded to show that she understood, after all, she also came from that time period.

They drank tea and chatted for a while in the living room, and when the children came out of class, Kitty kissed their faces one by one, and when it was Seryozha's turn, he was almost forced to accept Kitty's favor. kiss.

"Ah, I forgot to say, I am your aunt Kitty, Tao Li's younger sister." Kitty introduced herself.

Seryozha glanced at his parents, and after getting a look of approval, he laughed: "Nice to meet you, Aunt Kitty."

"Look at your lovely dimples." Kitty kissed Seryozha again, and she couldn't help liking the pretty little boy.

"If you like it so much, Kitty, you should pay attention to the people around you." Tao Li said pointedly.

Kitty blushed, thinking that Dolly knew that she was in love with Vronsky, but in fact Dolly was referring to someone else.

"I'm planning to go to the dance tonight, are you going?" Kitty changed the subject to hide her blushing. She felt that her face was a little hot, maybe because she was wearing too much clothes.

"Of course I'm going," said Oblonsky, always interested in mentioning balls and the like.

Dolly didn't dislike the ball at first, but she hated seeing Oblonsky like this, so she looked down and didn't speak. Fortunately, Oblonsky was not a fool, and he noticed Dolly's appearance. , so he said flatteringly: "The children are stuck in the house all winter, don't you want to go outside for a walk?"

In the face of men's cautiousness, Tao Li is always ruthless. What's more, Oblonsky mentioned the people she cares about most, her three children.

Tao Li looked at her children, they all had eager expressions, so she suppressed her own wishes again, turned to think about the children, and agreed that she would go to the ball.

"And Anna, where are you and your husband?" Kitty asked Anna again. "Of course you will go, after all, the ball is so interesting."

To be honest, Anna didn't like the ball very much, but such an occasion is obviously very suitable for meeting some politicians, and it is also very beneficial to Karenin's government affairs, so she kicked the ball to Karenin.

"What about you, Alexei?"

Karenin glanced at Anna, and then said: "I think it is very useful to go to the ball, but before going to the ball, Seryozha's homework must still be done."

"Still so severe." Kitty smiled, covering her teeth.

"I don't think this is too harsh. Good habits can save him time and be very helpful to his future career."

"What about you, Seryozha, do you agree with your father's idea?" Kitty deliberately asked Seryozha, she thought that Seryozha might be able to express his ideas instead of following Karenin's ideas.In the end, she did not expect Seryozha to nod his head in agreement with his father.

"I think father is right," he said, looking again at Karenin, and said: "I will do it, father, I promised you."

Seryozha believed that as long as he promised to do it, since it was agreed with his father, he must do it well.

Kitty was very surprised by Seryozha's words, her eyes were wide open, and it took her a long time to calm down.

"I really can't imagine how you made him so obedient."

"Seryozha is a good boy, Kitty, and a good boy needs little teaching," said Dolly.

Grisha quit, saying: "Mother, aren't we good boys?"

"Of course, you are a good boy, Grisha, when you clean up the room you messed up on time." Dolly warned her son in a gentle but stern tone, and the latter nodded. , expressing acceptance of this statement, and swear in my heart that in the future, I will tidy up all the toys if they are lost.

At eleven o'clock Flamekir and Sludin came.

The moment Flamekill appeared, Anna realized that even Kitty had seen many beautiful men and was a little taken aback.

It's not that Kitty is less knowledgeable. At the moment, there are some new-style ladies among the noble ladies in Russia. They openly believe that the so-called marriage should not be completely arranged by their parents, and they must pursue the freedom of marriage. Among them, except Si Kitty was the only one in Rudin who publicly praised this behaviour.

"This Mr. Flamekill is really pretty!" Tao Li said, because she was a married woman after all, and now she has three children, so it's okay to praise a man's appearance publicly. Not too out of the ordinary.

"He is." Anna agreed with Dolly's wonder.

Kitty sat on Dolly's right in the living room, and next to her was Mr. Flamekill, who looked even better at close quarters.

Kitty likes all beautiful things, including people, as long as the other person is more beautiful, she will even be more tolerant to the former.

"There will be a dance here tonight, will you go?" Kitty asked Vlamekir and Sludin.She loved the ball, and the eyes of others on her, so she hoped that there would be more and more people at the ball.

"Sorry, I have to leave Moscow first."

As soon as Flamekiel finished speaking, Sludin next to him widened his eyes.

"Are you leaving? Why didn't I know!"

Flamekill glanced at Srudin and said, "I don't think it is necessary for me to tell you my whereabouts, Mr. Srudin."

"But, I thought we were friends!" Sludin said a little hurt.It's rare for him to meet someone he really likes, and although the other person is not very enthusiastic, he thinks they can make a very good friend.

Vlamekir saw all eyes on him, so he bowed to Sludin apologetically.

"I'm sorry, but I don't need friends." With that, he saluted the hostesses and left, leaving Sludin with a stunned look like a kicked puppy.
