Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 510 022 The root of Soloviev’s problem, who always had trouble with women

Living next door to Mary, Soloviev was restless in the suite that night. He also had to improve the lighting. After improving the illumination, he could finally start writing under a pile of candlesticks.

Even so, it was not as good as a light bulb. Although there was electricity in his era, it was still very poor in practicality.

If we talk about physics, there is basically only relatively complete mechanics now. He didn’t want to make any achievements in this area, but just prepared to continue his translation career.

In the box he often asked the servants to carry, there were indeed some manuscripts, and they were unfinished work.

Anyway, Katya didn’t like these more "bloody" things, and she once really mistook Soloviev for a "Ryazan hero" because of Soloviev’s spelling mistakes.

There was no way. After he took it out, he had to make revisions. The editorial department had always said that it always gave people a feeling that Pugachev was roaming around nearby.

It's a bit too much to say that about Brother Song. Pugachev is still a good hand at deindustrialization, but it's true that he has a stronger spirit of resistance. It's just that "he occupied Xinjing and seized the throne" but wanted to "return power to the emperor". It's really an abstract mechanism of the Slavic region.

Just when he was about to start immersing himself in his literary career, he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Count, I'm Princess Mary's maid."

The knock on the door was a bit hasty, and Solovyov only had time to put on his coat. Anyway, the two sides were next door, so what should he do so late?

When he opened the door, the maid still looked very flustered, and the Baden dialect of German was somewhat difficult for Solovyov.

His accent was like an Austrian, and he had been to "Hebei Province", but sometimes it sounded a bit troublesome.

Although Louisa was also from Baden, it should be taken into account that she really had no accent when she spoke, and she knew a few foreign languages, and they were all standard accents, which was indeed very magical.

Led by the maid, when Solovyov entered the house to see, he did feel that it was quite troublesome.

Both the adult and the child were feeling very uncomfortable and seemed to be twitching.

Seeing this, Solovyov's first reaction was to find a doctor and then check on the child first.

Even if they were sick, adults still had some resistance after all, and the problem of the baby was more troublesome.

You should know that in clinical diagnosis, pediatrics is still very troublesome to diagnose because children cannot show their symptoms.

But calling a doctor? Solovyov actually despised the current old Western doctors, who often made things worse. However, his level was better when he was recuperating for others. He was still self-aware when he really encountered an emergency.

As for Mary, she was still a little conscious, and she was finally relieved when she saw Solovyov coming.

"Mick, if you want to save the child first, I don't care."

"But the child can't even speak. I don't know what to do with this kind of convulsion. I can only feel the child's pulse first."

The child's body is burning hot, and it is obviously a high fever. If you want to find a doctor now, Alexander or the imperial physician beside the Queen Mother can still come to see the doctor the fastest.

Alexander's imperial physician Solovyov knows that he has some skills, but he seems to seldom diagnose any pediatric diseases.

Mary looked at him like this, and she was also crooked there. She felt deeply helpless now, and she was convulsed again with a cough.

"Mary, you looked fine during the day, what happened?"

"I don't know if the child had a fever first, and then I."

She might be angry, but if the child is infected, it must be related to the environment here. Who knows which guy has bacteria or mycoplasma on him? If it is more serious, he will definitely have no way.

When the maid came back, she also brought the imperial physician here.

"Fortunately, a doctor finally came. However, sir, you should also pay attention. Both the mother and the child have fever. I think it is an external infection, but I can't say which kind of cold it is. A child of a few months old is still very sensitive and fragile. I think I should give the child a try of antipyretic medicine. I have it in the medicine box I always carry with me."

"You have done very well, Count, but you don't have so much time to study the disease."

Soloviev went to get the medicine, and then he looked at Mary again.

Speaking of which, how could he be so lethal to such a young wife, even a young lady who looked like a girl?

Marie always has some shadows of Louisa, but their personalities are not quite the same, but it is true that these sisters are overly caring for their children.

When Soloviev saw Louisa before, he always saw her holding the child in one hand, but when the two were alone, the child was still very young at that time. Even if he was feeding the child, he would not avoid suspicion when he saw him often. When the child recognized others, it was no longer like this.

Now is not the time for the children in the palace to be separated and live separately. Even the eldest child is only 10 years old and has not completely left his mother.

Considering that Louisa insisted on educating her children herself, she had enough education, was a loving mother, and had a close relationship with her children, so it was hard to say how effective this would be.

But if the child was injured or sick, the mother would definitely be overly anxious.

Mary must be the same. Solovyov had never met Louisa's second sister Caroline, who was the Queen of Bavaria, but from Eugene's description, the sisters had highly consistent behavior habits.

No wonder Mary put herself down first when the child was sick.

After he got the medicine, he first gave it to the doctor, and then came to see Mary's condition.

Of course, he also had to touch her armpits and forehead first to feel her physical condition.

"Fortunately, you have stabilized now. What did the doctor say just now?"

"The doctor said that since the child's fever is an emergency, we need to find a way to reduce the fever. I don't have any way."

"If you are like this, everyone will be worried. I think you are too weak, just like Her Majesty the Queen at the beginning."

Although Louisa's body is also very fragile now, it is only because the environment is very clean and she pays attention to conditioning that she does not get sick often.

While talking, Solovyov also noticed that Mary began to cough. At least he had to see the color of the sputum to make him feel at ease.

Then, the sputum was green.

I hope it is just an upper respiratory tract infection. Solovyov himself has no confidence in those emergency reserve medicinal materials, but there are still some killers, such as some processed ginseng, which should be useful now if it is to be boiled in water and made into soup.

"Count, please find a few people to take Her Highness Mary to the inner room alone. Since the child's breathing is relatively even and stable, it is easy to deliver the medicine. However, how to use medicine for such a young child?"

The doctor was troubled because the child's mother was also sick. In this case, if a wet nurse was to come, it would be unlikely to mix breast milk in the medicine.

Soloviev also shook his head after hearing this. Although the imperial physician had made a preliminary diagnosis and was still writing a herbal prescription, it was a problem for such a young child to take medicine. Even if the antipyretic medicine could work, how to take it was also a problem.

He thought of a solution and then explained the problem to the imperial physician.

"How can this be done?"

"If it is not breast milk, it can only be goat milk. Her Highness Mary has always breastfed her child, so I can't confirm whether the child is allergic to milk."

"But there are no sheep in the palace!"

If you find a dairy cow, it will also be a problem if the time is not right. Fortunately, it is now the peak season for milk production.

Solovyov did introduce Holstein Dutch cows to his home, but his new home is on the edge of Lake Ladoga, and the cattle raised in the village near here are of ordinary level, only oxen for farming.

By the way, Mary's milk must have shrunk when she was anxious, and it was at night.

But it was a coincidence that the suite for entertaining guests was probably the most abundant with breastfeeding mothers and wet nurses.

The situation on Mary's side attracted the attention of the Queen of Prussia.

Queen Louise was still not sleeping at this time, which was also caused by her proud figure.

After feeding Princess Louise, she always felt heavy, but it was not the usual feeling of chest tightness.

"If it's Mary's business, she is Louisa's sister after all, and I am like this now, so I can share some of the burden."

Her mentality is really the calmest among the spouses of European monarchs.

It's no wonder that after her body recovered a little, because of adequate nutrition, even if she raised twins this time, there shouldn't be any big problems.

"Thank you, Louise, but is your child okay?"

Mary was still a little worried, but Queen Louise was really calm. She patted her chest and said, "It's okay. I have raised so many children. You have seen William before. How many children of the same age are stronger than him? Mary, if you trust your sister, leave this matter to me. My little Louise can't eat much."

As for the milk bottle, Solovyov has already started to instruct the maid to disinfect the nipple and bottle. After all, it is necessary to ensure hygiene. As for the taste

It should be explained afterwards that if Queen Louise hadn't been "troubled" by such a small problem, it would have been more troublesome to treat Mary's child.

"As for the pacifier, will this thing work?"

"It should be no problem. After all, it is made from a lot of rubber grass extracts, which can be regarded as an emergency."

In the future, we have to talk to the British to see if we can get natural rubber. If we use rubber grass, the production capacity will definitely not be increased no matter where it is.

Something in Uncle Alexei's store that seems to have low sales volume at ordinary times is now useful.

However, it should also be pointed out that pacifiers have existed in Europe around 1500, but Solovyov took advantage of the abundant rubber grass in Kazakhstan and cultivated it back to make a low-yield product, which is now useful.

"Don't put the drug residue in it, it's too dangerous for children, even though it's a large-diameter pacifier"

Speaking of which, Solovyov is quite qualified as a doctor's assistant when other people's children are sick.

He was somewhat aware of this, but he would never have thought that with his personality, caring for other people's children would always bring some goodwill.

However, when Queen Louise's work was "finished", he was surprised.

"Isn't this right?"

"What's wrong?"

"It's obviously too much!"

Under normal circumstances, 100 ml is enough, but Queen Louise's is estimated to be enough for a can of Coke.

No wonder she boasts that she can raise strong children. Although Charlotte looks weak, her sons are all strong. It seems that Crown Prince Frederick William has the same temperament as his father.

Think about the location of Mecklenburg. To the northwest is Holstein, and to the west is the Netherlands. This route is not too far.

Solovyov couldn't help but want to complain, Queen, you are a "Dutch cow", right?

But he didn't have the time to spare, so he just prepared the medicine, filtered out the dregs, and mixed them together.

"Well, if it is stored for a long time, it may have a fishy smell. You must pay attention to it."

"Count, what you know always sounds very strange."

"Well, maybe I have read more strange medical books, and this is the only way to give medicine to such a young child without resistance."

He tasted the medicine first, but it was unlikely to simulate the taste of the child. He could only reduce the dosage and mix it with the breast milk provided by Queen Louise and shake it well. Anyway, there must be some way to mix the bitter taste with breast milk.

If placed in any modern medical environment, he might be scolded for doing this, but considering that his stepmother often does this at home, it has become a folk method and experience. Could it be that this is a method more suitable for the physique of European babies?

This kind of thing is done out of desperation. If warm water is taken with these medicines, the child will definitely refuse to take them.

In short, after seeing it at home, Solovyov's medical knowledge has been shattered to a certain extent, but most of it is still there, so he came up with this strange trick.

But the effect is still very obvious. At least the child's fever subsided quickly and he no longer convulsed because of the high fever.

But it is still necessary to observe for a while, not to mention the baby in the swaddling clothes.

"Mary, the child's fever has subsided, and you should take medicine."

When Mary heard this, she was still wiping her sweat.

To be honest, she was also shocked. Now this is still a good result.

But Solovyov found that Mary's expression when looking at him changed.

He should also know why he always encounters such things. In the past, he was too good to other people's children, which made these mothers always have a good impression of him, not to mention that this time little Caroline was rescued by his trick.
