Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 388 030 Rivals can enjoy one-stop retirement medical services (Part 1)

Little Katya’s idea is to take a different approach. In this way, little Natalia does not have to bear any responsibility, Her Majesty the Queen can guarantee safety, and she does not have to worry about causing any trouble.

As for the relationship between ruddy complexion and tuberculosis, little Katya still knows a little bit. Some noble girls around her have been taken away by this disease. The lucky ones can save their lives, but their bodies will become very weak.

Moreover, if this problem appears in the physical examination of the army, the notice of retirement will be waiting.

However, with little Katya’s ability, she wants to keep it secret and can solve this problem. There is no better way, just let little Natalia stay away from Captain Okhotnikov temporarily.

The other party seems to know this problem. People at that time were able to realize the harm and certain pathogenesis of tuberculosis, but they knew nothing about the dangerous tuberculosis bacillus.

You know, the Indians in North America still have some folk methods to treat this disease, but there is no record of how effective it is.

Now, it is a strange worry for the girl.

She couldn't find a place to talk about this worry, but she took a walk along the Moika Embankment. Although the weather in Petersburg was getting hotter during the day, it was still very cool when the wind blew because it was close to the sea.

She couldn't go back to tell her mother when she walked on the street like this, because the further she walked, the deeper she would go into the embankment.

"I walked to the downstairs of Yulia's house in this cafe, and I don't know if she is at home."

So she went up the stairs that were renovated next to her, and she could see the words "Baron Sergei Solovyov's Studio" on the second floor.

Speaking of which, Baron Sergei's "studio" was still a business consultation, so it was useless to ask him. After all, this lame old major was a "profiteer". Everyone knew his business skills. He turned his son's inventions and ideas into cash, and used his own and his son's connections to find a backer, so he also made a fortune.

But the question that little Katya wanted to ask was difficult to answer unless Baron Sergei's father was resurrected by the Orthodox Patriarch, and the version was different. It was not the time when Prince Menshikov, the "King of Cakes", was in power, but Alexander was ruling all of Russia.

So she was a little troubled, but then she met Adela, the maid of the Soloviev family.

Adela knew the prince's daughter to some extent, and even according to her level, she could be called a "princess", while the Russian princess was generally a "grand duchess".

"Miss Catherine, why are you here?"

Speaking of which, Adela was really a walking little succubus. Girls who had been with her for a long time liked her very much, and there were also many noble young men who liked her. If it weren't for her status as a maid, I'm afraid that the marriage proposal would have broken through the door of the Soloviev family.

"Adela, I'm here to find Yulia."

"You're looking for Miss Yulia? I happen to be here too. I made macarons and you're here too. Let's share them together."

Adela, although she was a maid and lived a carefree life, was raised by her master and was more like a young lady, except that she did the work herself, took care of the housework at home, and grew flowers on the rooftop, and socialized with the noble young ladies.

She was carrying a basket and pulling little Katya to the third floor.

But when she grabbed them, both of them blushed.

"Catherine, your little hands are so delicate."

Adela's hands were bigger because of work, and she envied the princess for having such a beautiful pair of hands.

As for Catherine, she was a little caught off guard by a girl holding her hand like this.

However, considering that she also knew the relationship between Her Majesty the Queen and Mrs. Maria Naryshkina, she would be affected to some extent.

Adela has always been straightforward, a bit like the lady from Poland, and little Katya has always admired Her Majesty the Queen, so it is inevitable that she will bring herself into it.

"Me."

"You are here, even if you are a guest, don't be so restrained and blush."

Because Soloviev raised Adela as a sister, she really didn't have a sense of boundaries, and little Katya was still bound by rules after leaving the palace.

"Ah, it's not like that, I came to find Yulia."

"Don't be embarrassed, we are here now."

Speaking of which, Baron Sergei is not only strong and vigorous, but also very productive. Soloviev is afraid that he will be a brother again.

Yulia is learning to knit sweaters there, while the baroness and her one son and two daughters are beside them. The lady is reading a storybook to them. The youngest Maria is not in her mother's arms, but is led by her sister Polina - because the lady's belly is very large, it seems that the "big construction" with Baron Sergei is about to be launched.

After learning about the situation in Russia, the Baroness did not want to have another girl. Three girls would already cost a lot of dowry.

It seems that the dowry for a girl is higher than that in France.

Of course, she is also looking for a bride for her stepson, but this guy has always been popular as an official. Although he did not become a general at the young age of 25, his position is not much different from that of a general, and he has also received many medals. The girl he wants to marry cannot be of poor family background and property.

When she thought this way, she saw little Katya like a she-wolf eyeing her prey, but little Katja had no ability to sense danger.

This girl has a good figure, a good family background, and a good character. She also has thousands of serfs and several large estates in her family. She is also from a noble family with military merit, which will be of some benefit to Solovyov's future. The best thing is that she and Yulia are best friends and pen pals. Although she and her daughter Polina are almost ten years apart, they have a good relationship.

But the Baroness was also afraid. She was afraid that if she brought it up again, she would find that the girls she fell in love with had become other people's brides, just like in the past.

Therefore, she did not speak, but just watched Adela and little Katya come over.

"Madam, I made macarons and brought them over. I happened to see Miss Catherine at the door of the master's office on the second floor, so I pulled her up without notifying her."

"Ah, that's not a problem, and the macarons you make are always too big for even the few of us to eat. And, that's it"

"Madam, I also know that Master Mikhail never allows Master Anton and the three ladies to eat more sweets, saying that it is bad for their teeth."

"It's just that he doesn't pay attention to his own daily life and diet. He also has to take care of the family. I really want to find him a good wife, but he just doesn't treat her badly."

This was incomprehensible, and of course Adela couldn't care less. She opened the dessert box containing macarons, and the finished product inside did look very dazzling.

Especially against natural light, this shade looks fantastic and has clearly been crafted with great care.

"Why don't you call me brother?"

Yulia and Polina both said this, and it was obvious that their eldest brother held a heavy weight in their hearts.

"But he's been busy lately. He always hangs out with a group of generals in the Ministry of War building. He also eats there, and he doesn't ask me to deliver food. Obviously when he was the commander of the Guards, he always asked me to deliver sandwiches. ”

"There is always something going on, unlike my two brothers who have nothing to do in the palace after they come back."

She is right to say that. The eldest brother Vasily is in the Guards, but the officer establishment of each regiment is full, so he can only be among the reserve officers. The second brother Nicholas is in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but there is no other person. Even though he was able to do things, because he was too young, he was not sent to the embassy.

Even though many of the Russian aristocrats did not work as officers, civil servants or palace attendants at all, the redundant official situation was still quite serious. Humphrey would be ecstatic when he came, and Wang Jinggong would die violently when he came.

Moreover, to the young aristocrats born in the 1780s, Solovyov was that "child of someone else's family." Even if some young people relied on their father's influence to become generals, they were not as good as him in terms of work ability and in terms of diligence. , he is not as outstanding in terms of military merits and medals, and even if he is having sex with women, he may not be as proud as him.

Some people who can surpass him rely on their background. After all, whose family is not a prince, earl or a famous family? Russian noble titles are shared by all men in the family, and there are many who surpass him in this aspect.

"But my brother, although he loves us, he loves working more. Just like a mother loves each of our children, but she always cares about the youngest one, or the one in her belly."

Yulia said this because she was the eldest sister, and love would always be shared. Complaints were complaints. Little Katya found that the atmosphere in this family was more relaxed than that of her own family members.

After all, this family, unlike the Dolgorukov family, is a famous Rurik family that has been passed down for more than 20 generations. It is more like a citizen class with no sense of hierarchy and distance.

Then, little Katya seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming to Solovyov's house. Originally, she had something to say to Yulia.

She wanted to find Solovyov through her good sister. After all, he was more experienced in dealing with such problems.

Solovyov didn't know why little Katya came to his house. Moreover, he and his parents and siblings did not live together. He lived in his old house in Washi Lane. It was also convenient for him to work in the department and the army. He went home to write instead of attending flashy and lengthy social events.

Now, he has finally finished the plan to provide support to Serbia, and is waiting for General Van Suchteren to conduct the final review and finalization.

At this time, he originally wanted to relax, but there was no place to go, and he couldn't even find a woman. Madam Recamier recently went to Tsarskoye Selo. Apparently she was very popular among the ladies. Welcome.

Therefore, he had no choice but to go home. In the morning, Adela also told him to make macarons and deliver them to his family.

Of course, my father is not at home today. Baron Sergey has gone out to do business. He is going to build a textile factory in Novgorod. This is a project for some wealthy men from wealthy families. There are naturally benefits. of.

The old baron should be responsible for the supply of raw materials and transportation routes, which is also one of their family's strengths.

After all, the Solovyov family's background as "smugglers" is still very useful even in serious business.

When Solovyov passed by the second floor, he did not hesitate and strode up. When he opened the door, he saw that the women were all at home.

However, when little Katya appeared in his home, she was really a rare guest.

"Brother, you are finally free. We even left some of the macarons made by Adela for you."

"Yulia, let's not talk about macarons. How come we have such a distinguished and young guest in our home?"

Soloviev and little Katya are already very familiar with each other. From home to abroad and back to home, he just didn't expect her to come to his home.

"I have some things that I wanted to ask Yulia, but..."

"Ah, when you come here, just treat it as your own home, Katya."

Soloviev still politely took little Katya's hand, but he was wearing gloves and couldn't feel the delicate skin.

"I do feel very good, your family is very warm, and the atmosphere is better than my home."

"Really? That's true. You are welcome to come here often. If you have any difficulties, you can also ask us. If it's a family matter, you can ask my mother."

Soloviev also ignored the slight age difference, but there were some pauses when he spoke.

"If it's other problems, no matter where, I, Yulia and Adela can help you."

Little Katya thought about it and decided to ask Solovyov directly.

After all, what she encountered was something that she, a palace maid, could not solve.

But she couldn't talk about it in front of so many people. After all, it was a very serious topic, and it involved the little secrets around the queen.

If Soloviev knew, he would be happy to help little Katya.

After all, there were too many young officers who aimed to date Louisa. After he succeeded, he was always cautious. Although he had revealed his flaws so far, he had not been exposed. At least he hid it well.

But the later ones were not like this. When the queen was in power in the past, the competition was open. Now, because Louisa was too low-key, and the competition for the mistress of Alexander was the mainstream business, there have been significant changes.

It's just that little Katya, how to start has become a problem.

And she also wanted to escape from marriage and didn't want to be Sergei Saltykov's wife.

There are too many things involved. For her own affairs, Grand Duke Nicholas had demonstrated once at Prince Saltykov's house, which bought her some time.

But the matter in the palace involves maids and the queen, how should I bring it up?
