Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 389 031 Love rivals can enjoy one-stop retirement medical services (Part 2)

With little Katya looking like this, Solovyov knew that she had something on her mind, but he would not cheat and knew her inner activities.

On this basis, he just asked politely: "Katya, what can I do for you?"

"Can I talk to you alone, brother Mishka?"

Solovyov was also confused at this time. Even in his own home, he deliberately kept little Katya a secret and could not let others know.

And he can generally guess that little Katya wants to find him through Yulia or Adela.

There was nothing wrong with the direction. If the intermediate links could be eliminated, at least fewer people would handle the secrets. That's what he thought.

"Of course, we can go to the window sill."

Others tried not to pay attention to this matter. Maybe there were some things that Solovyov needed to do. Maybe Katya was just a messenger.

However, everyone's reports were wrong, and even the people involved were surprised when they heard it.

"Katya, are you saying that Okhotnikov of the Cavalry has recently been pursuing His Highness's maid, that Zagryazhskaya?"

In order to confirm this, Solovyov deliberately used his last name to confirm. After all, there were only a few common names, and the probability of having the same name was too high.

"That's true, but I'm not surprised at all."

"What am I surprised about? Katya, this kind of thing happens all the time in the palace. An officer pursues a girl, maybe someone with a higher status. Or even an unmarried old man in his forties pursues a palace maid. , just because they have a high status in the palace and have this power."

While Solovyov was complaining, he also knew why Andrei said that he would not get married until he was no longer useful. The answer always came from his own mouth.

"Then what should we do?"

"It is not illegal to pursue love, Katya. If Okhotnikov just has a relationship with a maid, then no one will care about it. It just depends on this person's purpose. Is this what you are worried about?"

"Yes."

Little Katya knew that Solovyov could guess this, but when she was waiting for an answer, this was the reply.

"It's not convenient to say it here. Are you going back to Tafrid Palace or to the palace embankment?"

"I don't go to either place. There is a salon in the evening at the house of 'little' Prince Golitsyn."

Speaking of which, this girl is going to the elder Natalia's house in the Schachovsky family again in the evening, and she really gets more attention from Louisa's best friends.

"Then let me send you there. Prince Golitsyn is very familiar with me. We even accompanied the Queen to Stockholm together."

Next, Solovyov took out his pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time.

"If this is the case, after the tea party at my house is over, it won't be too far from here to there. You must know that their house is really close to the Winter Palace."

Returning to his seat, Solovyov also deliberately concealed the matter. After all, except for little Katya, they were all his family members. If it was something troublesome, it would not be good to get involved.

"Brother, what is going on?"

"Yulia, it's because you are so curious that the principal wrote to me!"

Being the eldest brother in the family always has to be a bit dignified.

"Well, sometimes you shouldn't ask too much about some secrets."

Adela, on the other hand, brought out snacks and black tea at this time, and was very skilled as a maid.

"This macaron is really good and very fluffy."

However, Solovyov has never been too fond of desserts. Women only consume sugar at this time.

Sending little Katya to the home of "little" Prince Golitsyn can also hide the problem.

When leaving home, Solovyov could also find that little Katya got along well with his sisters.

It’s not surprising that in the Saltykov family, except for the Alexander family who moved out, there are no girls of her age. There are two here. Yulia and Adela both like to socialize and often She can act together with her best friends, and her stepmother is also willing to play with the children. No wonder little Katya is very happy here.

"I think at this time, since the journey is not far, I can take a walk like this."

"Of course it's good, Brother Mishka, and there's no one here now."

"It's about this time to go out on the street. It's not convenient to go to Moika Causeway. On the contrary, Nevsky Prospekt is more lively. There is no one in the cafe downstairs of my house."

"You must be careful not to talk about this at home."

"When it comes to matters in the palace, I am the only one in my family who serves in the palace. If Yulia wants to serve in the palace, she has to wait until she graduates from a girls' school. Unlike you, you can obtain the qualification of a maid when you return."

"If I get married in the future, it will be easy to become a noblewoman, just like my mother did. But I don't like this. Living is like a marionette, unable to decide my own destiny."

"Don't think so. Isn't there someone who has a close relationship with the cavalry officer?"

Solovyov also spoke very directly, and little Katya also noticed that there was no one nearby, so she whispered to him.

"I always feel that Sister Natasha is not the target. The real target of that captain is Her Royal Highness the Queen."

"Why do you say that?"

Soloviev was also surprised. Due to his "lack of skills", he knew that Louisa would always have lovers according to history, and more than one, like himself now, but not like Alexander, who could have a harmonious harem if he had the title of Basilius.

But who is this person? Now it's me, and I'm not trying to restore history. Okhotnikov is indeed a dangerous person.

"Although it's intuition, I saw some mushy love letters when I helped His Highness sort out the letters."

Soloviev knew that this was a daily routine in the palace. He added Panjshir Valley gems to Alexander's crown, and others would also wait for an opportunity to sell Mughal royal jewelry.

Obviously, Louisa asked little Katya to sort out the letters, and she trusted her to some extent, and these letters should not be important, and it doesn't matter if they are known.

After all, it's useless to check evidence for something that didn't happen.

"What are the signatures on those love letters?"

Soloviev was also trying to hide his eyes, so he chose to talk while walking, but his tone did not increase, he was just looking for evidence.

This unlucky guy was afraid that he would be a "scapegoat" for himself. After all, at the beginning of the year, Alexander was not around, and Louisa was "suddenly" pregnant. After the young queen confessed to the Tsar, Alexander apologized twice in return.

The couple had opened up their hearts, and they still lived their own lives. However, they agreed that if the child was a girl, they would hurry up to have another child and try to have a son while Louisa could still give birth.

If "God's will" still gave them a girl, or Louisa's health did not allow it, then they would let nature take its course in the future.

"It's all written in French, and there are always A and O, just like my brooch represents the person I serve."

"It seems that he is really a reckless person. But he is like this, it can't be said that he is the one pursuing His Highness. The chain of evidence is not sufficient. If it is exposed, it will also bring scandals."

"Then what should we do?"

"According to the practice of the Guards, of course we have to see if there are any problems with this person, not only in terms of service, but also in terms of health."

Soloviev said this because he has been in the Guards for such a long time and has retired many people, including those who "suffer from incurable infectious diseases."

And he also got words from little Katya. If he could get her out and let Okhotnikov be transferred or retired without making a sound, it would be quite safe.

In this way, everyone involved is protected, even including the guy who tried to get in. In this case, Solovyov can also eliminate a competitor.

Of course, he will spend less and less time with Louisa in the future.

According to Louisa, she is looking for one from her "kittens", but who is this girl?

Soloviev didn't know Louisa's idea. Anyway, she wanted to keep it secret and would not tell him until the day of introduction.

In addition, Louisa had mentioned several girls. Guryeva's father was too high-ranking and was a senior civil servant; Kutuzov's daughter Darya just became a court maid at the end of last year. Louisa didn't consider her, and she seemed to have a favorite aristocratic youth; and another Vorontsova, Praskovya, mentioned her. When Solovyov thought that he was about to go to the balcony to squat.

Soloviev actually liked Maria Lobanova-Rostovskaya very much, although she was also the daughter of Senator Yakov Ivanovich. His Royal Highness the Prince had a bad temper and was straightforward, but he was very respected.

The main reason is that this eldest daughter of the prince's family has very soft features, is well-educated, and has a naive childishness.

If anyone is lucky enough to marry her, although she is not the most beautiful, she is also worthy of envy. She is a suitable hostess at first glance, treats servants very politely, and is also conducive to family harmony.

And some time ago, when Solovyov was in the palace, he heard this girl discussing painting art with Ekaterina's maid, and she was very insightful.

Solovyov, still prefers talented girls.

But when he was thinking about marrying a wife, he didn't notice that he had reached the Blue Bridge in front of him.

"Brother Mishka, we're at the Blue Bridge, should we turn?"

"Ah, it's time to turn, otherwise I'll hit the guardrail. Fortunately, I'm not so tall that I'll fall into the river."

"Haha, Brother Mishka, you're really funny. Everyone in St. Petersburg knows that you're a good swimmer. You pulled the Grand Duke out of the Po River."

"This"

Speaking of which, St. Petersburg is close to the sea, and Tianjin is also close to the sea, but St. Petersburg is not as funny as Paris.

"Well, you should also talk about those good ideas and how to check."

"Katya, since your face is ruddy and you always cough, you suspect it is tuberculosis. I can tell His Highness Constantine to organize a physical examination for the officers of the Guards."

"Why a physical examination?"

"In this way, no one will be blamed, and it will be friendly to the parties involved."

"What about service?"

"When I was in the Guards, there were always officers who were absent from their posts, but the soldiers were very serious. I think this is not a good idea and it is easy to offend people."

"That's right."

"I can't help it. Sometimes, I think those soldiers from the countryside are better than those masters."

"Why?"

"Masters always feel that they are superior and arrogant. Of course, Vasily Vasilyevich is very kind and different from ordinary "masters."

Soloviev is good at smoothing things over when he speaks.

"Katya, just like my family, who came from Ryazan, can also clearly feel that the masters of St. Petersburg and Moscow are always like this, so when I select officers, I rarely choose the great nobles in the city."

"What about brother Vasya?"

"Vasya, that's another matter. He is going to the Semenovsky Regiment, which is under the personal management of His Highness Constantine. It is not the first battalion of the Putin Regiment and the Chasseur Regiment. The officer establishment is full. Of course, Vasya came back from abroad, which is different from the local St. Petersburg. People always say that those who come back from abroad ”

“Brother Mishka, is it like you?”

“Yes.”

“But when you speak French, you sound like a southern Frenchman.”

“The French define themselves as ‘southerners’, and any place ‘northern’ than France is considered northern, but they completely ignore the fact that Paris is northerly than Vienna, and this has to do with the environment.”

When little Katya heard this, she knew that Solovyov was going to start chanting again. He did know a lot, but he would chant endlessly.

Another killer of Petersburg was the long and difficult sentences of Prince Alexander Saltykov. Fortunately, the masters of Petersburg were not very studious and did not master this skill.

It can be imagined that, like London, there was a group of Humphreys chanting scriptures, which was more terrible than Tang Seng chanting the tight hoop curse, and could kill people invisibly.

"Ah, there is this, but we are almost there."

"Katya, I wish you a pleasant evening in the salon today. Also, although the journey is not far, you must pay attention to safety. In St. Petersburg, I don't know why, some people have learned from the Tatars and snatched little girls back to be their wives."

"Brother Mishka, don't worry about this. Also, you must help with this matter 'quietly'. Natasha can't be ruined because of this."

This child is really kind-hearted. He even wants to build a poorhouse with his own funds in the future.
