Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796
Chapter 370 012 Meeting Louisa alone can be done under the pretext of a home visit
Nicholas and Mikhail's study plans were quickly handed over to General Langzdov.
After reading them, the general was very satisfied, especially the homework part. He had the power to discipline the two princes, but he was not a parent after all. If it came to academic issues, he still needed to talk to the parents.
At this time, we have to talk about the strange structure of the Russian royal family. There are actually only four adults in the family, namely Alexander and Louisa, Grand Duke Constantine and Queen Mother Maria.
As for the parent in charge, Solovyov also found out after discussing with Langzdov that it was the young queen who was in charge.
It was okay for others. Although the things between Solovyov and Louisa had always been very secretive, it was inevitable to always go to the parents at this time.
But he had to go, after all, Solovyov was now Nicholas' teacher.
And Louisa also had a problem. After the Battle of Austerlitz, Alexander returned to Petersburg, but rarely came to her.
If he ran there too many times, it would be a small problem, but now, Solovyov had to go.
If he went, something would always happen.
At this time, he needed to prepare in advance.
For this reason, he still had to prepare carefully after returning home. After all, when talking in front of his parents, he always had to prepare content, not just love words as before.
As for after returning home, he saw Adela learning something by herself.
This girl is really studious and likes to manage accounts. Solovyov really assigned her homework and asked his father to invite business partners to help.
"Any progress, Adela?"
"I think this is a trick. Although I don't know how to use it, I can also detect who is making false accounts."
This girl is really smart, and Solovyov thinks she will be a good housekeeper in the future.
"When you become a mistress, I think these skills should be enough."
"Brother, you haven't got married yet, and you still say this to me."
"What about that Cossack?"
"You mean Captain Bao Hong? Although he is much better than other trouble-making cavalrymen, he doesn't meet my requirements."
Soloviev was a little helpless after hearing this. He couldn't figure out what the girl's standards were.
This may be because she was too impressed by the officers who let the bear carry the police.
"Oh, Adela, what can I do? But I have something, I hope you can help."
"Brother, your business is my business, we..."
Adela wanted to say something. If she wanted to marry her brother, if the two of them were to get married, even if Solovyov's title was low, he would still be a noble with a title. This kind of marriage between a noble and a maid was extremely rare.
That is, General Arakocheyev, who was not married, but had been with his housekeeper.
Solovyov raised Adela as his sister, although the girl's eyebrows and eyes became more and more beautiful, with the beauty of a French movie actress, and she would be more attractive if she developed a little more.
However, he really couldn't do it. Even if Adela took the initiative to bring up this matter at this time, he would not agree.
Even in Solovyov's mind, it was like a movie, considering which of those low-level officers without titles were more suitable.
However, after thinking about it, there was indeed no such person. There were not many low-level officers who were more promising at present.
Some time ago, he saw a heroic cavalry officer, Lieutenant Alexandrov, and found something wrong after a careful look. After all, no matter how slow a young man is in development, his Adam's apple should be very obvious.
That's right, Solovyov met Durova, the "Russian Mulan".
But it's better this way. If Solovyov proposed to his adopted sister, he would be rejected, which would be a joke.
Why do you say that?
When Durova was serving in the Hussars, there was a daughter of a regiment commander who had been courting her, but was rejected by "Second Lieutenant Alexandrov". This made people feel annoyed for a while, and Durova had to change to another Hussars regiment.
Looking back at Adela, the more he looked at her, the more attractive she became. Solovyov felt that his adopted sister was really beautiful, even more beautiful than his own sister Yulia.
If she was stared at by her brother for a long time, she would blush, and then turn around and continue to work.
"Adela, if you are willing, you can go to the Bald Hills Manor in Smolensk. Prince Bolkonsky, or to be more precise, the old prince, needs someone to help with the housework. I asked you if you would like to go there to take over for a while. Prince Andrei's wife, Lisa, the duchess who sent you embroidery, gave birth to a son and needs someone to take care of her."
Thank God, Lisa survived, although she was very weak after giving birth. Her petite body was indeed not easy. It was a long process to recover after giving birth.
And the old prince. He was always weird, but he was always more tolerant of outside helpers.
Adela was very smart, so she should be fine. The old duke would only embarrass stupid girls, not smart people.
In this environment, Solovyov made some arrangements.
But Adela's age, for a noble lady, may be ready to get married, but as a maid, she has to wait, even if she has a high status in the family.
Then, Soloviev will take the prepared materials to meet Louisa in the Winter Palace.
Nicholas's academic performance is indeed a concern for Soloviev. The subjects he teaches are all good, and he can also write good essays.
But he really has no talent in some subjects. Painting is okay. Even Ekaterina and Anna, who are not married, like this, so they bring the interests of their two younger brothers.
But if you don't learn the serious subjects well and can't develop comprehensively, in Soloviev's view, although it is not necessarily unqualified as a monarch reserve, it is inevitable that you will encounter difficulties when you have to stand on your own in the future.
Solovyov knew that Alexander had begun to doubt whether it was God's will that he had a group of lovely daughters but no heirs. Therefore, whether it was his wife Louisa, the Polish girl, or other mistresses, he had been obsessed recently.
Although there were rumors that he had an illegitimate child when he was still a grand duke and not the crown prince, Solovyov was quite clear about the rumors about the boy named Lukash, and they did not look alike.
In this way, the future throne, no matter what the order, is likely to be Nicholas's, so education must be stricter.
As for the queen's bedroom, the girls were still sitting obediently on the sofa, watching the nervous uncle Nicholas biting his lips there, while the other uncle Mikhail was very relaxed.
After all, the two people's homework was different. Although Mikhail's homework could not be said to be excellent, it was at least a passing performance.
"Your Highness, I think it's time to let..."
"Yes, I know what you mean, Colonel. Madam, please take the girls out. Misha, you can go out too, of course I'm not referring to you, Colonel."
Louisa was in a good mood today, and even wanted to make fun of Solovyov.
"There are indeed some problems. His Highness Nicholas's academic scores in some cultural subjects are too low. Under such circumstances, if they were in an ordinary family, it would be difficult for them to complete their secondary school studies or apply for higher education institutions. Therefore, I think we should strengthen our studies, pay attention to the courses that appear in class, and not have any practice of predicting questions. We must use knowledge proficiently. Especially if we want to become an outstanding soldier, we must have a relatively good score in mathematics. It is not enough to get a passing score."
Louisa's expression was calm, and Nicholas felt as if he had been pardoned after seeing it.
After all, his sister-in-law treated him the best, and he was hugged by her when he was younger. Although it was far inferior to the embrace of his mother, it made him feel safe.
In this family, the only one who really has no ambition and still cares about her family is probably Louisa.
If there is some selfishness, it is to maintain the marriage and leave some benefits for Baden.
Because of this, no matter how Czartoryski flirts with her, she will not fall for it.
As for Solovyov? He is not like Czartoryski, who proposed divorce and elopement, which makes the parties sound very embarrassed.
This young colonel, now Nicholas's tutor, did not have so many opinions. It was his appearance that successfully squeezed out Czartoryski's position in this regard, and kept it very secret, which in turn maintained the image of the queen.
Of course, even if Louisa was really exposed to have a lover, as long as she did not give birth to a son, the public opinion in Petersburg would still have a high sympathy score for her, and nothing would happen.
As for Alexander, this guy knew that it was not easy to guard against thieves, and Louisa was more attractive.
When she first got married, Count Zubov was courting her there, and there were a lot of love letters known to Czartoryski, those fanatical guards, and the Tsar himself.
But Solovyov was never suspected. When he wrote to Louisa, he always talked about serious matters, or there was something else in a pile of words, which most people did not have the patience to read through.
Louisa kept the real love poems or other mushy little notes very well, and no outsider knew where they were.
But what we are going to talk about now is Nicholas' education.
Louisa also needs to express her opinions here, and there is no emotional factor in it.
"Colonel, you should supervise Nicholas's studies, especially mathematics. Yes, history and Russian literature. Although you are not the teacher of Russian literature and some other subjects, you are from the Guards after all, and you are different from other invited teachers, so you should pay more attention to it."
"In addition, His Royal Highness Nicholas is good at subjects, such as French and German, which are both excellent."
"But a Russian Grand Duke should be familiar with Russian. Nicholas, the Empress' grandmother came from a small German principality, and she studied Russian very hard."
Louisa didn't like to brag about herself. In fact, her Russian was very standard. You couldn't hear the accent and she was getting more and more proficient.
But Nicholas was a little embarrassed when he saw his sister-in-law's expression become more serious.
You know, his sister-in-law is very good to him, and even has a little preference for him.
It is indeed a bit unreasonable to let his sister-in-law, who has always been in poor health, worry about the course.
Fortunately, Louisa is here. If the Queen Mother found out, she would be beaten. It's a shame that she doesn't care.
If Paul were still here, he would still be embarrassed. After all, this family has very strict requirements for princes.
"Then, this aspect should be strengthened. I'm even thinking about whether we can increase the number of aristocratic children who will accompany us in reading."
"It's not necessary now. When Royal Village Middle School is built, there will be companions."
But it is still difficult to build a school now. Many parents of aristocratic children of the right age still prefer to hire tutors.
On the contrary, there are many girls sent from the girls' school.
After all, after coming out, some noble girls who are not very high-level will also have the opportunity to become palace maids.
Of course, it is indeed rare for little Katya to be qualified as a maid after returning. When she came in to deliver snacks, Solovyov could still see the diamond brooch hanging on her chest, which represented It seems that she is the maid next to the queen.
"Where's Natalia?"
"She is not on duty today, and I heard that a cavalry officer has been pursuing her. I don't know what will happen."
Solovyov felt a bit of a crisis. The person Louisa was talking about was actually her historical lover Alexey Okhotnikov.
He knew these Guards cavalry officers too well, and in order to get closer to one target, maybe to the next, there was also some risk.
If Okhotnikov keeps an eye on little Natalia, he may be targeting Louisa.
After all, it should be safer if there is a palace maid at the door to keep watch, and the cavalry officer is not as good at secret infiltration and reconnaissance as Solovyov.
Although the necessary skills of the cavalry actually include sneaking and reconnaissance.
However, the cavalry officers of the Guards often acted more boldly than carefully planned.
In this way, it can also be compared.
Louisa has always had Solovyov in her heart.
"It seems that another Natalya is about to get married, just like Shakhovskaya, who I regard as my sister. She is getting married very well."
Although the "little" Prince Golitsyn is not tall and has a smooth tongue, he also loves his wife very much and is afraid that someone will be watching her from the outside.
"I also hope Natasha can marry a good husband, for example"
The family of the shipbuilding tycoon Goncharov is actually more suitable.
Now that Nicholas was on vacation, he suddenly felt free.
As for Solovyov, he can stay with Louisa justifiably. Whatever happens, it is still logical and it is not easy to arouse suspicion.
