Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 308 010 In Petersburg, the topic is always related to Paris

Spring is here, and it is probably this season again, but in Russia, everything comes later, and the nights are relatively long, so there is a feeling that there is always nothing to do in winter.

So, whether in Petersburg or Moscow, the entertainment activities of the nobles are still the same.

But in the countryside, the large-scale activities may not be seen until the unlimited fighting competition of Maslenitsa, and some excitement can be seen.

The snow war at the end of each year, this time has passed.

Therefore, the countryside still has a sense of silence, but the city has been noisy.

Of course, Solovyov feels that his troubles are increasing, but it is also good that Madame Recamier, although she is the hostess of the Paris salon, but compared with those women from various French colonial islands, there are not so many troubles to create.

"That's it now, Michelle, why are you so serious?"

"Speaking of which, Julie, what I'm worried about is that in an inevitable state, based on the current situation, under the measures we take, an interesting result may occur. I'm still very young, not even 24 years old. If this continues, I have to prepare an annual pension of 3,000 rubles per person every year."

"It doesn't matter. Not every time you have a child, you should know this yourself."

However, Solovyov knows a lot of "humorous" things, such as the fat man like Crown Prince George, who only had sex with his wife three times in two days, and then had Princess Charlotte.

Although he and Louisa didn't cause any deaths in Sweden, he was also very productive, and he was still very young. He might be like Prince Alexander Kurakin in the future. Of course, he still wants to get married, unlike the single old nobleman.

Although his lovers can raise their children by themselves, girls always need dowries when they get married, and more things are waiting behind.

In short, he was already under pressure. These children knew who their father was, and they didn't want their father to be just a playboy who could deceive noble ladies. Instead, they wanted their father to be a hero.

Of course, he was indeed in Petersburg, serving as a servant in the Guards and beside the Tsar, and he had some idea of ​​making achievements.

Some people who were not as capable as him but had a much better family background than him could already be generals at this age, and even lead troops to the battlefield.

And since he followed Suvorov on the expedition, he obviously wasted a lot of time in the two years abroad. Even though Alexander promoted him to a higher rank, he was still a little behind.

If he wanted to catch up with this gap, he had to wait until the war started. This was a life-threatening job, and it was not that simple.

"The topic of Petersburg recently is always Paris. You Russians are really interesting. You are always interested in Paris."

"Julie, have you been to Count Stroganov's house?"

"That handsome man, if he hadn't been married, I would have pursued him madly."

It is normal for Madame Recamier to say this. After seeing Count Pavel's face, you have to give a high evaluation. In the same portrait, others need the painter's modification. If he is modified, he will be too handsome.

Moreover, she is obsessed with flowers, not because the count's family is the richest in Russia. This needs to be emphasized. Madame Recamier is a young widow with a rather exaggerated inheritance even if the property left to her by her husband has shrunk.

"But he was arranged to marry by the old count and returned to Russia from Paris. And you have been in Paris for so long, but you didn't know that the count was once the secretary of the Jacobin Club?"

"Then he must have used a pseudonym, and his father must be a friend of Mr. Voltaire."

"That's right, Julie, you are really smart. You made the connection so quickly."

As for the old countess who ran away with the gigolo, Mr. Voltaire left a golden sentence to praise her. She still has some reputation in Paris.

"No wonder he speaks French very well, but not as friendly as you. How do you speak French with an accent like that of people from Marseille?"

"Well, my teacher has a Marseille accent," Solovyov had no choice but to deal with this nosy man. "When I went to France, this accent was modified and adjusted a little. After all, I have been to Marseille and Saint-Tropez."

"No wonder it's like this. If you disguise yourself well and say you are French, people will believe you."

"But madam, do you know a joke?"

"What is it? You are good at telling jokes, but they are a little unpopular."

Of course, the lady's behavior of hugging his arm and rubbing it against her and actively being molested is really scary.

"But, Julie, you shouldn't be like this."

"Well, I've given you enough rewards today. You cunning little fox."

But it's obvious that this lady is more like a white fox.

"I haven't finished telling this joke yet."

"Hurry up, it's time to go to bed."

Fortunately, Solovyov moved out to live alone. If he was still in his new home by the Moika Canal, it would be more troublesome.

"Well, France always needs foreigners and women to save it. This should always be the case in history."

But later, a foreign dwarf really married an Italian woman, which made France worse.

"I also want to hear what kind of theory you have."

Then, Solovyov actually listed some celebrities in French history. These people may not be very famous now and in the future, but they do meet this filtering condition.

"So, although some people always say that the Corsican is a usurper, he did not seize power directly from the royal family."

After all, he is still the eldest uncle and the second uncle of the child, so he has to be careful when speaking.

"The mysterious foreigner who haunts Paulina's mansion, could it be you?"

"Julie, why is there such a speculation?"

"Simple, Michelle, through a woman's intuition."

I am afraid that the women Solovyov has met in the past are not as difficult to deal with as this lady, and they always bring trouble. Fortunately, she still likes him very much. It seems that she is different from the men who share friendship here. It doesn't matter what your lover is like outside, as long as you treat her wholeheartedly when you are in front of her.

Speaking of which, in Madame Recamier's later literary salon, there were many young writers who often visited there, but she still paid more attention to Chabdourion, but she was not very familiar with them now.

This lady does not seem to be too mentally stable because of her current experience, and her behavior in Petersburg was somewhat strange.

As for his intuition, he didn't think it mattered after hearing it. Anyway, he was controlled by Mrs. Recamier.

"That's the problem, but what I stated is also true. If Louis XVI could put the cannon in the square, I don't think the mob would invite him back to the Tuileries Palace. Moreover, this The king originally had a good reputation, but he messed up the problem himself, and there were a lot of bugs within the royal party. "

He pointed to a very obvious scar on his shoulder, which was the mark left on him by Cadudar, the leader of the royalists in the Vendée.

Of course, this person was also treated with a gun by him.

Generally speaking, Solovyov still supports the gradual transition in this era, mainly due to the camp he is in and the limitations of his personal strength. There is really no way to do this.

His starting point can ensure that he can go on smoothly without getting into trouble.

However, he is always involved in various incidents actively or passively, and the life of a noble is not easy. If you have no money, even if you are a good person who liberated the serfs, when you are in debt, you will also take the liberated people in your manor with you. The farmers are in trouble together.

He thought about what he was carrying now, which was also very complicated. It could be said that he had come into contact with all levels of people, from the top to the bottom.

"I guess that's the case. It's just that he's a rather rough man. His brothers are not like that."

If you say that, it is true. If you have many children in your family, it is inevitable that there will be a strange species that is different from others.

"But now that you have arrived in Petersburg, what we have to focus on is sleeping in Paris. I am sleepy too."

He also started to yawn now. Speaking of which, tomorrow is still a rest day. He always goes out to participate in activities the day before his rest day, so that no one will cause trouble for him.

As for Mrs. Recamier, she also felt a little sleepy, and she also made up her mind not to always talk about political issues in the future, which would inevitably cause trouble.

Her husband was sent to the guillotine, which was more or less the butterfly effect brought about by Solovyov's severe attack on friendly forces. Of course, the two parties involved were not sure about it.

One doesn’t have a God’s perspective, and the other is, sorry, not familiar with Mr. Recamier.

The bankers of this era were far less famous than the politicians and soldiers, and were not even as famous as his wife. Mrs. Recamier's beauty was preserved through the art of painting, regardless of whether she wore more clothes or less clothes.

Of course, Solovyov didn't understand what this lady liked about him.

The meal in the apartment where the lady lived was also very exquisite. When Solovyov got up the next morning, he found that the lady was still lying in bed.

She is obviously a little older than him, but she is so lazy.

However, don't lift the quilt and disturb her sweet dreams.

Solovyov also wrapped her up tightly, but he had to dress neatly.

"Don't leave either, Michelle, come have breakfast with me."

Just a little movement would still wake her up.

"You'd better wrap yourself up tightly, otherwise you'll catch a cold. This nightgown can't even cover your thighs, so you'll catch a cold easily."

Although she is inexperienced, the clothes she wears are quite interesting.

Moreover, her legs are not as flawed as Polina's. They are very perfect in terms of body shape, and all men with taste will like them very much.

Of course, she was not as ridiculous as Polina. She was still very measured. After changing her clothes, she also came to the restaurant.

"It's inevitable that the heating will be better when you get up in the morning. If too much carbon is added at night, I'm afraid it will be like Brutus' wife."

"Julie, why do you say that?"

"You should be familiar with Roman characters, even if they are some scraps."

Lady Recamier was talking about Brutus's second wife, the daughter of Cato the Younger, who committed suicide by burning charcoal after Brutus' defeat.

However, as the 19th century progressed, people gradually became aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning, and the heating of this apartment required burning charcoal instead of the heating pipes in the palace.

Just heating pipes will inevitably cause some troubles and also pose greater fire hazards.

"Of course I know, but this is too unpopular. If I say that Cassius's wife is the sister of Brutus, but another sister is married to Lepidus, one of the last three heads, Seth The reason why Vilia has never been retaliated should be found.”

This time, he also mentioned Caesar's mistress in passing.

"And the woman Cassius married lived until the time of Tiberius. Her funeral can still remind people of Brutus and Cassius."

This old widow did so many good deeds that she died at the age of 97. As a result, the Romans could not forget her reputation. At her funeral, there were even memorials to the two assassins.

Tiberius and his mother, Livia, the wife of Augustus, had to admit this.

"Nowadays, these people always talk about Brutus, Brutus, but they don't think that a more bloody tyrant will be replaced later. As for Shakespeare's plays, the British also like to advocate Rome, but they don't think that it is Caesar. The tolerance of these assassins gave them opportunities, and the tyrants who followed would only become more cruel, even more cruel. Choosing to eradicate the root cause is how the vicious cycle begins. Therefore, I don’t like talking about the Senate or the traditional order. The times must develop, otherwise there will be no Gracchi brothers, Marius, Sulla and Caesar. Finally reaching Octavian, the age of this holy Augustus was always going to develop."

Of course, Mrs. Recamier was still a good listener who paid attention to his long speeches, and she also somewhat admired this "cute little brother". After all, when he started to drop his book bag, it was very interesting to quote the classics.

Even so, Solovyov cannot throw out historical materialism. This era should be the last era in which the heroic view of history becomes the mainstream. He cannot talk nonsense.

That's all. The weight and taste of the breakfast are just right. After that, his long speech will continue.
