This is an anti-theft badge
Cote dalgant is a section of the coast in the southwest of France, which is known as the "silver coast". When the sun shines on the beach, everything is shining, like the back of the world. Seaport trade is well developed. The folk custom is relatively simple.
The goods may not always be as good as Petersburg, but there is always something strange. In Cote dalgant, the value of something is often not in itself, but in the story it is given.
For example, Anna has this. A small silver comb decorated with red coral. The shape is simple, obtuse angle shape, which is not easy to scratch fingers. There are eight red corals, which are very full. The silver utensils are not new, a little dusty, but not ugly.
It was sold by a small man with a beard and a shrewd eye. He told a sobbing story, which is about a noble lady falling in love with a poor boy. This comb is a token of love between them.
"What a sad story."
Anna and they gathered a small group of people, one of the dress extraordinary young lady was moved by some tears.
"We'll buy it." Karenin said.
After they left, Anna held the packed comb in her hand, and then raised her head and asked Karenin, "do you believe that story?"
"There are not so many stories of noble ladies and poor boys, Anna. That probability is basically zero. " Karenin said calmly.
"Then why did you buy it?"
"You like it, don't you?" Karenin did not look at Anna, but quietly said this sentence, the latter only felt sweet in his heart.
"Oh, yes, even if it's a fake story, but I do like the gift."
"The added value of a story exceeds the value of the thing itself. An honest and responsible businessman is never better than a slippery businessman. " Karenin almost sighed.
Anna giggled and said, "you might as well say that women's money is always easier to earn."
"I agree with that." Karenin nodded slightly.
"I want to go for a walk by the sea," Anna added. "I love the sea."
"Then go." Karenin did not object.
Located between Biarritz and the mouth of the Adur River, the water here is particularly clear.
"I want to walk barefoot." Anna said.
Karenin did not agree: "this is not appropriate, and the weather is still cold, you will be ill."
Anna looks at Karenin.
After a while, the latter sighed: "if you insist, but I still think..."
Anna did not wait for Karenin to finish, she took off her shoes and stepped on the soft fool, and her face changed.
"You are right." She mumbled and put on her shoes again.
"It's a little cold."
"I'm glad you can look at it more rationally." Said Karenin, almost smiling, and Anna complained to him.
"You can do it the next time it's warmer." Finally, Karenin said this, and Anna was in a better mood.
There's no need to treat every moment of the moment as the last day, because their future is long.
Karenin noticed that Anna always looked around with her head down. He asked, "what are you looking for?"
"Shells." Anna said, and then squat down, fingers in the sand button dig, after a while, a small conch appeared in Anna's hand.
Karenin also squatted down. Anna took his hand and put the conch into his hand with a smile.
"Although it's a bit flat and not as precious as the coral comb you just sent me, now it's also unique in the world."
The small conch was buried in the sand for a long time. It was still covered with the smell of sea breeze and salty wet. It was cool and the hardness of the shell scratched across the skin, which made people feel its existence very clearly.
Its color, as his wife said, is a little square, but now, it is a unique small conch.
"I've never received such a gift." Karenin said in a gentle tone.
Naturally, he received many precious gifts, which were well packaged and sent to his house with various unavoidable purposes. However, he never had any gifts. Lying in his hands so rudely, the giver had no purpose.
Anna felt that Karenin's reaction was more like that of a noble lady who didn't know the world, because she fell in love with a poor boy with a harmonica. She suddenly felt a little funny, although she knew that Karenin would never be that ignorant lady of nobility.
"In fact, although I don't think money is the only measure of the value of a gift, if I had more money, I would give you something better in return."
"Don't I give you enough money for your daily expenses?" Asked Karenin, with a slight frown.
"That's not what I mean. I mean, if I can make money myself. " Anna finished and observed Karenin's reaction."You make money?" Karenin asked, not immediately accusing her of the impropriety of the idea.
Anna was relieved and laughed, "maybe I can make money myself in the future."
"I've never heard of any aristocratic woman who would make money, if you mean selling jewelry and clothing. Although it is not said on the surface, there are some people in the circle who have done so
"That's not money. There's plenty of money, actually, a little too much for me. But I don't think any lady will complain that her husband gives her too much money Anna said with a smile, her eyes stretching.
"I know most wives don't talk about money with their husbands unless they don't have money to spend, but I'd like to talk to you. I like you to give me the money, I also want to find a business to earn some money. Sometimes making money is not for money itself, but a sense of satisfaction. It can be said that you can realize your own value by making money, do you understand? Alexis. "
"I've never heard of it. But I don't think it's unacceptable. " After thinking for a while, Karenin said calmly, "but I hope I'm in the know."
"Of course I will tell you." Anna said instinctively that she hardly thought if she was going to do something and her husband didn't know.
"I always need your advice and ideas." She complimented each other.
Even Karenin could not accept his wife's compliment calmly. He was really happy.
They stayed in France for almost five days and then had to go back.
Anna told Maria about it and everyone thought it was a good idea.
Nothing happened to the train back. It arrived on time. Karenin's secretary also went with them, but to be honest, Anna didn't like this person very much.
His eyes were like snakes. Anna thought they were greedy eyes. But she didn't say it immediately, because vorobev was Karenin's secretary, and he was not a fool.
She did not want Karenin to be bothered by her sensitivity.
By the time they got home, it was nearly seven o'clock, and the carriage Colney had sent was already waiting at the railway station.
As soon as I got out of the train, gusts of cold wind blew over, and my face hurt.
Anna was wearing a mink hat and a coat. She felt her eyelashes were stiff and her breath from her mouth would turn white.
"It's really cold." She said.
"Are you all right?" Karenin asked. He can't go back with Anna. There are some urgent matters in the Yamen that must be dealt with.
"OK," Anna blinked. "I'm fine."
Karenin asked his secretary vorobev to go home with Anna and bring one of his papers.
"Don't worry, sir." Vorobev laughed. He was tall and strong with the most popular beard of the time, and his brown eyes were charming, but his manner was a little too frivolous.
Driver Peter asked Anna and them to get into the carriage, and then "Yo ha" a sound, the horse's hooves began to sound.
Vorobev tried to chat with Anna and try to amuse her with the popular Petersburg jokes, but Anna was not giggled like other women.
"There will be a good play in a few days, ma'am." He said the name of an actress, but Anna didn't know, and she was not in the mood to talk to that person.
Because she always felt that this Mr. vorobev's eyes were like snakes, and sometimes he looked at her very unfriendly.
Her intuition was not wrong, and vorobev did have other thoughts about the new Mrs. Karenin.
He was fascinated by her appearance, although she was not as plump as the current fashion, her dark curly hair was as white as cream, and her colder attitude. It's always fun for a woman who's not good at it.
Vorobev thought to himself. He has always been the kind of person who pays great attention to appearance. He always speaks the fashion of Petersburg perfectly, but he is not that kind of stupid color embryo. He likes to conquer, which is also due to his more intelligent brain than ordinary people.
He will work out a long-term hunting plan, because this Mrs. Karenin deserves to be in the top three in his mind.
Having made up her mind, vorobev withdrew her attentions, while Anna, after observing for a while, wondered if she was really too sensitive.
The goods may not always be as good as Petersburg, but there is always something strange. In Cote dalgant, the value of something is often not in itself, but in the story it is given.

Having made up her mind, vorobev withdrew her attentions, while Anna, after observing for a while, wondered if she was really too sensitive.
"We are not fools." Andrea muttered, but did not go on with the subject.
"You should leave now."
"You're a little heartless, you know? Andre. " Anna pretended to be surprised and said, "after you make up with your good friend, are you ready to let me go?"
"We don't have much time." Andre bit his lip and looked like he was about to cry.
"Oh, don't worry, honey. I'm just kidding." Anna quickly pacifies each other, and then the two children wink at her.
"I know." Said Andrea, with a sly smile.
"I won't forgive you. You are a bad boy." Anna said with a smile. Andrea blinked and then gave her a kiss on the face.
"Thank you."
"Thank you very much, Mrs. Karenin." Charlie kisses Anna on the other cheek.
"You are very lovely." "You shouldn't have got married so early. You just have to wait five years," Charlie said, looking a little sorry
Andre said, with no expression, "although my uncle is a bit stiff, don't try to hit him. Or I'll fight you, and even if we're best friends, it won't change. "
"See, he's a babe." Charlie blinked at Anna. "He loves your husband."
Anna kept laughing at Charlie's words, and Andrea rolled her eyes. "That's my uncle. Although he is old-fashioned, serious, uninteresting, rigid, impersonal, and workaholic, he is my uncleWhen Karenin came back in the evening, Anna told him about it.
"You have a loyal admirer."
"I don't believe that's what Andrea meant." Karenin didn't take the joke. Obviously, he knew the character of his nephew very well.
Anna changed the subject: "I was thinking, maybe we can help them."
"How?"
"Andre can come to our house when he's free, and Charlie can stay with us for a while, if you don't mind?"
"That's feasible. Anna, you can arrange it then Karenin is hanging his tie.
"You had a drink." Anna wrinkled her nose and sniffed.
"Two cups, great taste?" Kalenin inquired, sniffing his shirt. He was not sure if the alcohol was strong. In that group of drunkards, even if they don't drink, they always get a taste.
"It's tolerable."
Anna doesn't like alcohol. She doesn't want her husband to be an alcoholic.
"Do you want me to give you a massage?" She suggested.
Karenin looked up at her.
Anna thought that the other side was doubting her skills, so she quickly brightened her hands, white, and looked very beautiful.
"My massage is very good."
"Anna, why do you do this?" Karenin asked slowly.
"In the book, do you forget how much skier likes to drink?" Anna laughed, trying to change the subject.
Karenin nodded, and it seemed that he did not really go to his heart. Anna was relieved as he turned around.
She let Karenin sit on the soft chair, wash hands and knead each other's neck, the technique is quite skilled.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
"There is no arrangement. What's the matter?"
"I want to go shopping. Would you like to accompany me?"
"What do you want to buy?"
"No, I just want to hang out."
Anna waited for Karenin to answer. After a while, the latter said, as if thinking.
"Sometimes I don't understand why women go shopping without a planned list, or they go shopping aimlessly."
"It's not that you don't understand. Sometimes we don't understand ourselves." Anna said with a smile that she began to tell Karenin some of today's little jokes, all of which belonged to the three children.
"Lucia is very clever. Andre is very cute, though proud. As for Charlie, you don't know how much fun he talks..."
"Do you like children?" Karenin asked suddenly.
"Yes." Anna replied instinctively, then suddenly realized something, her face a little red.
"That," she murmured, her hand stopped.
She was about to say something, but Karenin suddenly raised his right hand, took Anna's right hand on his neck and gently brought it here. Then, he looked up at the people in front of him, and with a little effort he pulled Anna down and let her sit on his lap.
"You can hold me." Karenin said.
Anna couldn't control her blush, and now her earlobe is red. She raised her hands and put her arms around Karenin's neck, gently.
Karenin raised his right hand again and landed under Anna's earlobe, followed the delicate curve of the jaw line to the cusp, and finally wiped her lips with his thumb.
"Are you drunk?" Anna asked in a low voice, her voice trembling.
"No
Very calm reply, Anna wanted to speak, but could not.
She thought Karenin was a little drunk.
"Breathe." Said Karenin in a low voice, low as the October wind, cool and covered with a golden fragrance of wheat fields.
Anna breathed obediently. She did not kiss a person so deeply. She knew that Karenin did not. To be honest, if he had, Anna would be jealous, really.
Karenin's body moved, and then directly picked Anna up. One slipper fell on the plush carpet, and the other was taken off by Karenin and left on the carpet.
Anna blushed badly.
She was put on the bed, the kiss fell on her body, shyness forced her to close her eyes.
The man's fingers stop at the shoulder and finally drop a gentle kiss at the end of the clavicle.
Anna opened her eyes. The blue eyes were staring at her. The whole person was next to her.
She's never been so close to another person, like, closer, there's no distance between them.
"Why?"
"I drink, you don't like it."
Karenin's fingers gently combed Anna's hair.
Anna suddenly felt a little sour in her eyes, but she just looked at each other with a smile. Then he got up and pushed Karenin, which turned her on top.Anna traced Karenin's appearance with the tip of her finger. Finally, she fell on the corner of each other's lips. Karenin caught her and gave her a kiss.
She shrunk, but the smile didn't disappear. She finally gave each other a kiss on the lips and leaned against Karenin's chest.
The taste of vodka is a little light. If you smell it carefully, it is clear that it is more of Karenin's taste, which is her husband's taste.
The clothes are fresh and fresh after being washed, with a faint aroma of tobacco on the fingertips, and the soft smell of cotton fabric is on the clean and tidy handkerchief. Generally speaking, Karenin's taste is a little bitter, but also with a little taste of man's salt, the smell of soap on his skin, everything is natural.
"I'll remember the taste, always." Anna murmured.
"What's the smell?"
"The smell of my husband." Anna laughs and kisses her again.
The night is still very long, and the future is also very long, Anna thought, as long as slowly, everything will naturally
She looked at him again, for she found that there was such a sly side to the prim gentleman.
"I will arrange everything."
In the end, the senior official promised so.
Madame tiriere could not find any reason to refuse, so the date of marriage was fixed. Naturally, Karenin should have stayed for dinner, but his official duties were inseparable, and Mrs. Terrier preferred to admire those with political ambitions than men who liked to please the women's family.
Anna thought that, according to Mrs. Terier's inhumane personality, she might have to wait until the wedding day to get along with Karenin alone, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Terier thought that since they were about to get married, they could get to know each other for a short time.
Therefore, in addition to the necessary servants, in the eyes of the nobles, servants are no different from those decorations. If they want to be more serious, the furnishings are usually more expensive.
The dense aroma of black tea floats, the delicate decoration of tea in the silver plate, two people maintain etiquette, sit not far, although for Anna this modern people, distance is not close, even close friends, but she knows that can not ask enough.
"Two weeks later." Anna cleared her throat with a smile, as if she was surrounded by some magic bubble. Her whole body was full of happiness.
The weather was clearly still cold, and the sun couldn't penetrate the thick clouds in Russia to reach the room, but Karenin felt that he felt it.
Sunshine, his little fiancee, everything is fine.
"I hope you don't feel rushed."
"Not at all."
As he expected, his fiancee is not reserved in the face of him, but this, to be honest, is very good.
"I'll be in Petersburg the day after tomorrow, everything will be arranged, so you don't have to worry about anything. Next week, when you arrive in Petersburg, I will meet you at the railway station. "
Karenin was not talking about love words. His tone was no different from his usual speech. He always kept a calm state of statement, but Anna was willing to imagine that it was Karenin style love talk. To be honest, how many men can give everything so easily with my commitment?
"Well, may I have your name now?" Anna said this again without thinking, but Karenin was no longer surprised.
His deep blue eyes looked at Anna, and after a while he whispered, "Anna," as she wished
"This is the third time I've asked you to call my name. You know, I haven't always had the courage, Alexis." Anna said sweetly, her cheeks flushed.
"I won't easily agree to anything that is out of order or etiquette." Karenin said.
"I have to maintain our dignity."
Ignoring the fact that it's not pleasant enough, Anna said bluntly, "I like you to say 'we', Alexis," she stressed, after a pause, cheerfully, "I like you to start saying 'we' so naturally. It's good that I'm more confident in our marriage."
"This is, should be." Karenin said with rare hesitation.
Anna shook her head, she said sincerely: "there are some reasons everyone knows, but there are few that can be easily and naturally done."
When Karenin heard Anna's words, she fell into a brief meditation, and Anna did not let him meditate alone for a long time. Her standard bright eyes looked at her again.
"We have a good start!"
"Good start?" Karenin recalled the memory that he was shocked by the other party's marriage proposal two days ago. Some doubted whether it was really a good start. Her fiancee obviously saw this. She puffed her cheeks like a squirrel, so swollen that her dimples could not be seen.
"Believe me, not everyone can be one, can experience all this."
Anna wanted to say love at first sight, but it was swallowed by her when it came to her mouth. In the end, she was bold and right, but it doesn't mean she doesn't have the reserve of her daughter's family.Karenin did not guess this. After all, no matter how clever he was, he could not immediately understand the differences between the two eras for women.
If Anna had not said to him for the first time that she had fallen in love with him at first sight instead of marriage, perhaps there would have been no present. This is strange, like some of the rules of the upper class. People never fight against marriage, but they linger on their lovers. In the day and the night, they change their roles endlessly.
Marriage is a rational and interest choice, but like and love, but can not be said casually.
"Indeed." Karenin nodded in agreement, thinking that if he had not met her, he would have never experienced such a thing in his life.
Anna thought that Karenin was secretly expressing his approval and liking for her, so she was a little shy.
