Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

At Polina's place?

Solovyov knew that his romantic debt was a long-term one. Katya and Sylvia took the children to play. Polina did not take care of the children by herself, so she threw away her three sons. If you give the child to grandma, she will just take care of it.

In short, it was a situation where I made the appointment myself, and I was ready to have sex even with tears in my eyes.

But Polina is indeed enthusiastic enough, you can't deny this, and she doesn't complain.

"Sent away an 'old Josephine', and now a younger one has arrived."

"But this is also the emperor's request. Do you think he doesn't want his direct heir?"

"I hate it, so you sent one."

"But I am also against it, Paoletta. You know, this kind of thing has happened many times, marriage, but it cannot bring peace."

"I think my brother still wants to fight, but he mainly wants to deal with the British. If anyone dares to stop him."

"Wait, talking like this may be a bit over the line."

"Then let's continue sleeping. Your lovely angel is carrying your child, and I can't fall behind."

Well, as for Polina, Solovyov is not sure whether he will win the lottery. After all, the two of them have a son.

Sylvia would not fight for it. She actually saw clearly that being a housekeeper in the palace would be beneficial to herself and her two daughters. Moreover, Polina's place was relatively safe and there would be no harm. When it comes to political issues, there will only be sexy news.

As for Solovyov, even the other Polina's suitors looked at him with envy. After all, he came first. Prince Borghese didn't say anything, and the other one was in good condition at the tomb. .

But accompanying Polina was always in the palace of Versailles, which used to belong to Madame Pompadour's official residence. The Solovyovs lived here with their children, and the rest of the family went to Malmaison.

This is not for any other reason. For their family, the most serious thing about this trip is probably that cousins ​​Josephine and Amy, who have not seen each other for more than 20 years, are finally reunited in France.

However, in terms of status, it seems to be higher than the starting point. This is just a drop back from the highest point.

"Amy, I really didn't expect you to come back to us. You are the one who has traveled the most in this family."

"Rose, to be precise, she took a farther boat."

"You are still like this. When I got married, you were still a little lamb in my arms. Now that you are so big, you still like to talk like this."

"That hasn't changed at all?"

"It's still changed, Amy. It's a hardship for you to be kidnapped by pirates, but you're also lucky. Although your husband is very old, he loves you very much and the family is very harmonious. Michelle's child has nothing to do with you. He is related by blood, but he is very promising. That’s good. We are always uncertain here, and it is even scarier than the so-called political barometer.”

"Yes, Rose, if you have a chance, you can go to Petersburg. The manor built by Michel and his wife is beautiful and has the best facilities. It can always supply hot water for bathing."

"Michelle is very smart, but what do you think of him?"

"Although I am his stepmother, I feel more like a sister. My husband said that when he was young, his eyebrows and eyebrows were not so soft, and he looked like a girl."

"Ah, interesting."

Count Sergei knew that this was a reunion of the sisters, and he was not young, so he did not interrupt, he just acted like a traditional Russian fool.

Josephine looked at the old man who was already showing signs of age, and then thought about how she saw Solovyov in Paris a few years ago.

Although this old man is considered a spiritual old man, he can have such a handsome son, and Yulia is also very beautiful. He still looks more like his first wife.

"But your children are very cute. And this family is very happy. I really envy you. When Alexander was still alive, he already had a lover outside. As for Napoleon, he loves me very much, but he is also very carefree. Although Michelle has nothing to do with him in this regard, she still looks a bit like him.”

"It can only be said that they have similar personalities, but I think His Majesty the Emperor is different from my 'son'. Michelle is a gentle person, but he is a bit weak at home. Sometimes he is played around by his wife and lover."

"It still looks different, but it's no wonder."

Josephine thought for a moment and realized that her relationship with Napoleon was actually quite good. If it hadn't been for this problem, it would have continued.

"Your Highness, Count Michel Solovyov and his wife have arrived."

"I haven't mentioned them yet, but they are here now."

Now, Josephine has seen this large family. The Solovyov family has a population of 4.5. This is related to his recent close contact with Katya.

Several of the cousin's children, as well as Yulia and adopted daughter Adela, are also here.

"It looks like the whole family is here now."

"Aunt, can I call you that? To be more serious, you are the aunt of Anton and Vasily, and of course Polina and Sofia."

"Why do you have a sister named Polina?"

"This is because of Emperor Paul. After all, I have served as a Guards officer by his side for a long time. My son is also named Pavel. If he were in Western Europe, he should be named Paul."

"That's true. You are still a very nostalgic person. We just mentioned the emperor and family members."

"If the emperor really wanted a Roman-style country, he could even choose the system of adopted son inheritance. For example, the five good emperors after Nerva, and just before Mark Aurelius, all inherited the system through adopted sons or relatives. The situation of Commodus should be said to be an exception. Because the emperor himself had many children, but only one son reached adulthood. This is also a very strange situation in Rome. Great men always have no sons behind them. "

"You see, Rose, whenever Michelle comes, he is like this. He always likes to talk about some profound things."

"But that's good. No wonder he was able to invent homework and was Grand Duke Nicholas's teacher."

Speaking of which, the two families will have to talk about relatives in the future. If Eugene has two sons in the future, the younger son will go to Russia to become a son-in-law and marry Nicholas's daughter.

"But the children don't seem to like doing homework behind the scenes. His Royal Highness Nicholas complained to me directly that he could only play after finishing his homework every day. It was only this year that a middle school was opened in Tsarskoye Selo, so he had companions. You won’t tell me this anymore.”

"That's good. At least it can prove that your students trust you."

When Josephine said this, Solovyov would have a strange picture in his mind.

We senior students are your best friends! big! elder brother!

"But there is also some trouble, that is, as long as I am not at my post, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother will ask me to study the study plans of the two Highnesses. It's good now, because I have been promoted to lieutenant general, and I have to be a foreign official, so I can't I won’t do this job any more.”

"If Ou Ren has a son in the future, I think he will follow your method."

"This won't work, aunt. After all, the education method of each child is different. Educating common people can be mass-produced. This is a quick way to make up for the knowledge gap among the common people. But at the aristocratic level, there is always If you can hire a tutor, you should provide education based on each person's situation. However, I hope that everyone can enjoy equal education and teach students according to their respective characteristics. In this case, the task of being a teacher may be more arduous. Therefore, I also believe that it is best not to have more than 32 students in a class. , this is more conducive for teachers to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and it is best to have a teaching assistant.”

But what Solovyov said will cost a lot. He is always whimsical. In the eyes of others, although this person has a normal personality, the things he does always seem abnormal.

But in my own family, they are all relatives, which is better.

As for the next step, Solovyov will also introduce Katya and the two children to Josephine.

"Your Highness the Queen, you still retain these titles. Mishka and I are different. Except in front of the Emperor of our country, he has never been very particular about titles. He is still calling you 'aunt', but he has taken advantage of the Countess. , but if I want to call the Countess 'Mother', it might be too old to call her sister."

"That's not appropriate either, so except for Michelle, we all call me what we want at home. But Michelle, when he sees me, he always hides his name. It's weird to talk like this. . But it’s no wonder that he learned a lot of French by himself, and it’s not surprising that there are some changes in his names.”

When the family was in Malmaison, the atmosphere was very good.

"It just so happens that you are all here. We can leave the children here and visit Malmaison together. This castle has been recently renovated."

In order to compensate Josephine, Napoleon also renovated her official residence and even expanded some areas.

The name of the castle comes from "mala domus", which was called Malmaison before 1244 due to the atrocities of the Normans.

The castle itself will undergo many changes, and Solovyov knows this very well.

Although his uncle is not his father-in-law, we have to consider that a certain actor also acted in a movie about the man with the melancholy horse eyes and his castle.

It may have been a castle in the Middle Ages, but now it has been renovated to make it more convenient for living. It often makes grandma not recognize it.

"That's it, we have repaired the castle. Michelle, do you know the history of the Normans?"

"I am more proficient in Roman history and I visited some Viking settlements when I went to Sweden. However, I am a soldier and do not have that much time. I only have a rough understanding of some German chronicles. understanding.”

"I heard that the Russian royal family also came from the Vikings in the north. Is there such a story?"

"I think Katya should be considered. Her paternal ancestor is Grand Duke Yuri Dolgoruky, the founder of the city of Moscow. If you count further, he is also a descendant of the distinguished Rurik. From this point of view, it is still peace and peace. The people in Beijing have some connections.”

"Your Highness, Mishka is like this. He may know my family's history better than I do."

"What about yourself?"

"The history of our family started from working for Prince Menshikov, and later he was awarded the title of baron. It turns out that some people always say that our family comes from 'profiteers', and my father is good at helping people manage their property. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings. In fact, after receiving the title, people with titles in our family will also choose to join the army, and many will return to the manor to become squires after retirement. "

"It doesn't matter. My family has a large plantation in Martinique. It's just that you went to Amy's house but not to mine."

"I didn't know at the time that Her Royal Highness the Queen of France was actually my aunt. When I went on an expedition with my mentor, Marshal Suvorov, I fought with the French army and captured many officers and soldiers. I caught General Scherer. At that time, some people thought that there was something wrong with my brain, and I was looking for relatives with a list of names given by my stepmother.”

"Haha, no wonder Marquis Grouchy mentioned this at a banquet once, saying that after his soldiers were taken prisoner, they were interrogated by a limping young officer and were always looking for relatives. ”

After Josephine mentioned this, everyone laughed.

"However, no one would have thought that this kid Misha is really seriously looking for relatives."

"It's not surprising that you can't find it, because even if you ask General Scherer about the name Josephine, he won't know it clearly. After Napoleon married me, it was like he wanted to reshape a person. Michel Well, it would have been weird if you could have found the answer then."

"It's inevitable. Don't laugh. At least we are all here now. But my mission seems a bit embarrassing this time."

Solovyov said this, but Josephine didn't care at all.

"That's good. At least your father lets Amy appear in front of me, and our family is more united. It's just that I always have some premonitions."

Josephine and Solovyov were near the front, so she used a fan to cover them up and said to her cheap nephew.

"I'm worried that Napoleon will be in trouble in the future, but you are still in Russia. Eugène and Hordas, they are also your cousins, you want"

Josephine didn't say anything else, but Solovyov understood it.

"No problem. Eugene and I are also friends, so I will naturally help him. Besides, His Majesty in Bavaria will not sit back and watch his son-in-law get into trouble."

After hearing this, Josephine was satisfied.

"But it's best not to happen. Amy and I are both Creoles from the West Indies. We have some 'psychic' abilities and always have premonitions about bad things. As for you, whether it’s from intuition or premonition, I feel that you have a bright future, and you are so talented. You must control your own destiny and don’t be like us.”

Although the words are strange, that's what it is. (End of chapter)
