Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 485 062 Pious Little Katya

Soloviev was still talking about this issue very seriously. If he wasn't so good at fighting, he would probably always be considered a gigolo.

After all, he was always with young ladies of higher status than himself outside, and Madame Recamier was a wealthy young widow. Although her reputation was not bad, her personal life was indeed easy to cause others to talk about her.

Of course, there was an advantage, that is, when she was with Louisa, no one would think of this.

But for the child Katya, it was not so fair, so Solovyov still had to make some guarantees.

Since some relationships really couldn't be cut off, and there might even be more in the future.

Solovyov thought that this girl would have some opinions, but he didn't expect her to be so frank.

"What can we do? Mom tried to refuse Prince Potemkin. I knew about this when I was a child. There are also things in the palace. Even His Majesty is not like that to Her Majesty. Brother Mishka, you have been on duty in the palace for so long, you should know it. Therefore, I don't expect so much. When you are with me, you must love me well, and I will be satisfied with this. I will try my best to be your good wife and help you with housework."

This child is really unexpected, but think about Prince Vasily who believes in Catholicism, and his children are still Orthodox.

The two sons are okay. Although this girl respects and is filial to her father, she still has a lot of opinions about her father's religious beliefs.

Even the eldest brother, Prince Vasily, had a good chat with a girl recently, just because the girl's family believes in Lutheranism, little Katya is a little "hostile" to her.

Although it sounds a bit strange, little Katya did it.

But she was very pious. Since she was going to be married to "Brother Mishka", she had to abide by the marriage vows. Solovyov felt sorry for her. Such a good girl, he was so fickle and unworthy of her.

"Katya, you are so good. It's hard to find a young man in Petersburg who is worthy of you."

"Brother Mishka, but they are not as promising as you, and they don't value promises like you. I believe in you very much."

Her big eyes are very charming. Blinking and talking to Solovyov like this really makes people have no immunity.

And the two of them are so close, little Katya is in her arms, the white neck and collarbone, and the smell of the light perfume she uses are really unforgettable.

"You believe me, but I can't give you 100% return. How are you in math?"

"Since I have to help you with the housekeeping, Brother Mishka, I am still learning math. I even brought His Highness Nicholas's homework books. Sometimes he even asked me to help him with his homework."

"This kid"

Little Katya shouldn't help Nicholas with his homework, but it was unexpected that he was so good at flattering "Little Master's Wife".

"If you don't like it, I won't help His Highness with his homework. He won't have the idea of ​​asking us to help him with his homework."

Well, this is in line with Nicholas's stubborn temper.

"That's good, but since you also like mathematics, I can teach you. Moreover, I wrote a memorial to the emperor, hoping to introduce some mathematics professors, such as the famous Dr. Gauss."

"I can't learn too advanced things, it's better if you let me be the housekeeper"

"Okay, don't learn such advanced things, Katya, our home has been built, after the wedding, will we live there, or live in Moscow?"

"Of course it's up to you, you are different from Prince Andrei, you have always been in active service, even if you are a captain, I am willing to accompany you, in the forest and grassland, even in the mountains and deserts."

When Solovyov heard this, he felt that this girl was very sensible.

To become the wife of a general, you must first marry a lieutenant and live with him on the border, in the forest, and in the desert for 20 years. However, because Soloviev took the fast track, he still skipped the intermediate steps and took 11 years to go from a second lieutenant to a general.

The daughter of the prince's family can be said to be a princess. She can have such ideas. On the contrary, her ideas are particularly traditional and her character is very upright.

Such a daughter-in-law is married home. Although she is not as talented and knowledgeable as Louisa's best friend Countess Sofia, she is very quiet, gentle and a little lively. Even if the treasure house of the Persian Shah and the harem of the Ottoman Empire are exchanged, he will send a Zaporozhye incision to the envoy and then kick him in the ass!

Speaking of mountains and deserts, Soloviev was a little moved.

"You girl, I won't let you suffer!"

Of course, we have to consider the feelings of little Katya, and some words cannot be said so bluntly.

He stroked the girl's back, and was surprised that she looked so slender, but her back had a lot of muscles.

Apparently she practiced dancing very hard, although ballet dancers are always slender. But such a rose still has thorns, even if she is so gentle.

"Good Katya, good Katya"

As for the girls and Pierre, they just watched from the side.

Although Pierre was honest, he knew that he couldn't be a kerosene lamp, so he didn't get too close.

The girls were more concerned, especially among them, except Natasha and Sonya, they all had some friendship with Solovyov.

"It seems that the 'Flower General' really likes Katya, and has been with her for such a long time."

Natasha was very curious about this. She was also quite gossipy. Watching her brother and cousin kiss in the greenhouse was just one time, and she was more or less concerned about the affairs of her good sisters.

There was always some clue about Potemkina and Ribeau-Pierre's affairs. After all, Catherine's lover was promising, and Princess Yusupov's attitude was loosened. No matter what family background she talked about, she couldn't compare with a promising son-in-law.

As for little Katya, although her fiancé was more fickle, he was handsome and good at fighting, and he was also an aristocrat from a merchant family, and her own family background was relatively high.

Although she rarely saw Solovyov's sister Yulia, Natasha also knew that it was a good future for her brother. Even if her sister was still in a girls' school, she could find a way to arrange a good marriage in the future.

Sonia and her brother were probably like her now. They always had some fantasies and looked forward to the future, but they were also a little afraid.

The more advanced stage of human fear may be the fear of the unknown.

However, she should have a better one. Pierre is the richest man in Moscow, and his wife will cause trouble one day.

Of course, Pierre and Natasha will not realize that fate will be so interesting.

Potemkina watched Solovyov and little Katya become more and more intimate. Natasha mentioned it, and she paid more attention. If her Sasha could be here, she would not be given a lot of cat food.

"They are all watching, Brother Mishka."

"But we are getting married too, and because of some unexpected circumstances, there will be foreign guests from St. Petersburg."

"Who will come to Sparrow Hills?"

"Marquis Caulancourt, he is the French ambassador to St. Petersburg, replacing General Savary. As you know, my aunt is the Queen of France, so there will inevitably be foreign guests. As for..."

He said this about the guest list. Although little Katya is not such a vain girl, and she is from the Dolgorukov family of Rurik's paternal lineage, and Moscow was founded by her ancestor Yuri Dolgoruki, but the guests who will come to her wedding are really important.

In addition to the French guests, there are also guests from many places, as well as Solovyov's relatives and friends in the army, and several senior brothers and their families.

Of course, it also includes Miloradovich, who is still a single nobleman. He recently returned to Kiev to continue to be the governor. His junior brother is getting married, so he will naturally come.

Just this Russian army lineup, if arranged and combined, can fight Napoleon again.

With so many guests, it is no wonder that they have to hold the banquet in the villa sold to Prince Yusupov in Sparrow Hills.

Prince Yusupov is also an old neighbor of the Soloviev family. Even the two large official residences of Prince Yusupov in Petersburg are not far from the two houses of the Soloviev family.

This place was originally owned by little Katya's father, inherited from his grandfather.

"It's really unexpected, brother Mishka, there will be so many guests."

"I dare not send more invitations, otherwise more people will come, including veterans of the Selenge Regiment. I heard that Vasily Vasilyevich used to serve in the old Selenge Regiment?"

"Dad did serve there. I also heard that my father and your father knew each other in Crimea."

Not to mention, Baron Sergei's lame leg was exchanged in that war, and he had to retire with the rank of major.

"Yes. But my father also serves the old prince's family. After all, General Grushetsky is the old prince's uncle."

"Yes, he is my uncle."

He is the eldest uncle, the kind of head of the family.

As for the status and title, Solovyov's biggest shortcoming is probably that his family is only a baron.

However, there is an uncle in France who sells titles wholesale, which actually makes up for this shortcoming for him.

In addition to a commander-level medal of the Legion of Honor, Baron Sergei will also be awarded the title of Count of the French Empire.

But this title sounds very strange, "Empire Count of Numidia", which has a lot to do with his stepmother.

Later, Russia will upgrade their family's title level accordingly, and recognize them as Count Sergei Solovyov of the Russian Empire in the Velvet Book.

However, Solovyov's own title is also a small problem.

He hoped that he could get a title based on his military exploits, just like his mentor, Marshal Suvorov, the first title of Count Remnik, not this kind of title wholesaled by his uncle.

In this regard, Alexander has already considered it. After all, Solovyov is also his favorite general, just like Paul's care for Bagration, there will naturally be corresponding title adjustments.

". That's it, when I marry you, you should also be a countess."

"I don't care about any titles and wealth, it's not that"

Little Katya bit her lips and said "Helen Kulagina", which shows that this woman is indeed not well-known in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Even this unmarried girl doesn't seem to think that she is Pierre's wife from the point of view, but she talks about her maiden name.

This also shows that Pierre is still widely sympathized in Moscow.

"You care about your personal happiness, Katya, I understand, can I kiss you, kiss your forehead."

Obviously, this is still a sister, but before the marriage.

Little Katya's face was burning and flushed.

"You are not having a fever, are you?"

Soloviev used his fingers to touch her armpits, and was relieved to confirm that there was no problem.

This child is pious and simple, it is really hard to hurt her emotionally.

If it was the "old witch" in the Saltykov family, the son who married her might be from a high family. Prince Nicholas was the tutor and the imperial regent when the emperor went to war, but the atmosphere in his family was very strange.

Although Soloviev had a rich emotional experience, he still took his feelings seriously, and it was a compensation for what he owed to little Katya.

Of course, the girls saw all his actions.

If they were not the guards and hussars, there would be no whistling and cheering, and they just giggled.

They were already engaged, and if they were other lovers in love, they would kiss each other at this time, but he was still reserved here.

In the end, he still cherished this little girl. When he thought that she would be his wife, Solovyov vowed in his heart to treat her well.

For him, having such a wife in his personal life was very satisfying and he didn't need to be picky.

"Brother Mishka, not only the forehead, but also..."

Little Katya wanted to kiss like this and even stood on tiptoe.

"Okay then"

Although she was a little girl who was "still wet behind the ears", it was still a great experience.

Especially she would be his wife.

That night, Solovyov and Pierre also visited Prince Yusupov's official residence on Sparrow Hills to discuss the specific matters of the wedding with the future father-in-law.

Prince Vasily was naturally very satisfied with his future son-in-law, no matter from which aspect, he was also very careful in doing things.

As for the title issue, Napoleon's efficiency was obviously very high. He approved Baron Sergei's new title on the way, which might be more face than Caulaincourt coming to Moscow to attend the wedding.

After all, the nephew's wife should not be let down, especially since her family is also a famous Rurik family.

As for entertaining relatives and friends at Sparrow Hills, the invitations have been sent out, and they will need some time to gather in Moscow.

In this case, the ceremony will be quite grand.

Prince Vasily even thought that his sister, who did not get along well with him, would marry to Praskovya of the Musin-Pushkin family. I hope she will not cause any trouble.
