Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

The nickname of Countess Sofia's mother was "The Queen of Spades", which was a story in Pushkin's works later. There is no such saying now.

But this old lady, at first glance, is very majestic.

Even guests like Soloviev seem to have to behave properly in front of her.

"Sonia, this is the kid you sponsored in the past. Who would have thought that he is a soldier like this? He has a good physique, but this face..."

The old lady once again criticized Soloviev. Although they appeared in the same occasion many times before, they did not say anything due to age, identity and status.

". Tsk tsk, if my son looks like this, I'm afraid he will always be arranged to be a eunuch in the palace instead of a general."

Even at the age of 30, Soloviev's appearance is still easily mentioned.

But considering the character of Princess Natalia Golitsyna, it's fortunate that he is not her son.

If it was her daughter, although she would be strictly controlled when she was young, she could still get a large amount of property as a dowry.

The old lady was very strict with her son, and even had a bad relationship with her eldest son, Prince Boris, and they had no correspondence until now.

"Mom, he was promoted from aide-de-camp to aide-de-camp to general by the emperor's side."

The countess looked at Solovyov and knew that he was a promising young general, but he had no ambition.

Therefore, she also teased Solovyov that he was more like a eunuch, but when her daughter said so, the old lady laughed.

"Well, it's a little guy following the emperor. He doesn't look like a man in his thirties. I remember seeing him from a distance when we went to your sister's house in Moscow. He looked like this at that time, but he looked a little stronger."

"Princess, that's because I have been in the army all these years. I have participated in all the wars except the war with the Persians."

"Then you should be more promising. You married the old man Prince Klimsky and his granddaughter. Naturally, you should be more promising. You can't be like those little gangsters in Petersburg."

Speaking of which, the portrait of Prince Klimsky.

The old lady's mouth is quite mean, but she saw that Solovyov was satisfied, so she gestured to the maid behind her.

"Get another cushion for the count. Standing like this all the time, even a soldier will feel backache."

But the old lady said that she was an elder anyway, so Solovyov and Katya couldn't say anything.

Katya had never met her grandfather, and although she had some opinions about what the old lady said, she took back the second half of her sentence, which was to ask her husband to "be more promising."

Finally, they sat down, but now the reception of the princess's wife has not started yet, so naturally they still have to chat with the old lady.

There was a rumor that when this princess was young, she received special care from Queen Elizabeth because her father, Count Chernyshev, might be the son of Peter the Great.

In fact, it was just a godchild. The old man who made their family prosperous was an important diplomat of Peter the Great, so it was not surprising that the family was taken care of.

Just like Menshikov, he used a queen and a tsar as puppets, and because of his past achievements, he also returned part of the confiscated property of his descendants.

As a descendant of the Menshikov special prince who slipped through the net, Solovyov heard this from his father and relatives.

He was used to this situation in Russia.

As for when the guests would arrive today, that was another question.

There was nothing I could do about this old lady. I was very familiar with her two daughters and her son-in-law. The old lady's eldest son-in-law, Admiral Apraksin, was the eldest brother of their family because he was the oldest.

I had also received a lot of favors from her son-in-law, so that was it.

After chatting for a while, the topic gradually turned to Katya. Although the old lady was mean, she didn't care about other people's affairs. It was not appropriate to talk to the parties in such an occasion, not to mention that they had a good relationship.

".Natalia Petrovna, respected princess, I heard that you have met the Count of Saint-Germain?"

Katya was still a little curious. The Count of Saint-Germain was still famous in France and Central Europe. This adventurer and alchemist was still famous.

"That's true. The Duke of Choiseul was planning to arrest him, but because of Louis XV's order, he went to the Netherlands and then to Russia. Katya, although your husband looks like this, he is very talented and should know about the Count of Saint-Germain."

"But Mishka just knows a lot, and you have met the Count himself."

"Ah, this person is also amazing, he is a famous person, isn't he?"

The old lady looked at Solovyov again, and although he nodded, he still had to express some opinions.

"But Earl Saint -Germain is probably dead. It is a real alchemy warlock, and it may not be able to live for a long time in accordance with his statement. This kind of person is often called rivers and lakes. , Even have some relationships with the Metichi family. But all of them are rumors. There are not many things that can be implemented, and alchemy. If it is analyzed from a scientific perspective, a basic material element becomes other elements. Probably in science, it is difficult to complete the change of this element. ""

Thinking of this, Solovyev even wanted to laugh, but if he interpreted alchemy as nuclear fusion and nuclear fission, it would still be fun.

But after all, he was well trained. Here, after chatting with the old lady for so long, he finally waited for Mr. Karampin, a historian who personally sealed Alexander.

"Mishka, Mr. Karamin is here, he is also the guest of today."

"Sorry, Natalia Peter Ruffina, Dear Prince, I also have to meet with Mr. Karamzin today before coming here."

"But you are really knowledgeable. Children are not as good as this appearance. Do what you want to do."

Finally, I got away. The old lady was the old noble shelter. When I was chatting, I was familiar with it.

Even the old lady had prepared a pendant for the three children of Ka Jiasheng, and the shot was really generous.

No wonder her grandsons lost their cards, and she would find grandma to ask for money, which is the beginning of the story of the Slap Queen.

And Karamzin was very enthusiastic about seeing Solovyov at this moment.

"Earl, I'm glad to be able to see you here."

"Me too, Nicholas Mikhailovic, I heard that you have recently presented a memorandum to the emperor."

"Yes, don't you want to make any comments?"

Karamzin knows that Solovyev's righteous girl is Speranuski's fiancee. The relationship between the two is still very close. It may be some opinions on this conservative point of view. Therefore Get up.

"There is no opinion. What I think is that in Russia's village communities, it is not unchanged, and there is no way to have been fixed. If it is said, the French always said that we are the descendants of 'Skai Thai people. ', And many of us always are descendants of Rock, like my wife. "

"Indeed, Prince Klimsky is also a more prominent branch of Dorgruji."

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"What is from scratch, whether it is science or the theology, based on a material world, or a world created by God, one thing should be unquestionable, that is, anything, that is, anything, that is, anything, that is, anything, that is, everything is anything. All from nothing. "

"You don't seem to completely deny my opinion, but you insist on your position."

"That's it. You are an expert in the history of Russia. You should know what Ivanre is like. At that time, the village community has not been deprived of the freedom of people because of a certain period of time. The serf.

"Although it sounds like the foreword does not match the post -language, your preference is novel and interesting."

As for who is Rubianus? He used to be an officer from Roman civilians and an important assistant to Caesar, but he switched to the Senate and Pompeius before the start of the civil war. As a result, he defeated all the way. Essence

"But it is important to notice that there are never static things, and it will definitely change. The thought is always formed for a goal. You think it should not change, but this name is" traditional '"traditional' Every individual is an atom, and everyone does a different thing. When the three -day decree, it is proposed for the difficulties encountered by the farmers. "

He lifted Paul when he came up, apparently he didn't intend to be polite, but he only needed to change.

In fact, a strange thing appeared, that is, the Emperor Paul, who was obviously an authoritarian monarch, but some of the more radical people in Liberal seemed to respect him.

Solovyv was not radical, he just wanted to come up with his own point of view.

"But the lords also have the responsibility of sheltering them. You should be clear about this. Emperor Paul does this and is also fulfilling the obligation of the monarch."

"But at this time, have you learned about the situation in Ukraine?"

"I know this, although I have always been in the manor of Prince Viazuski."

Well, he is an acquaintance again. He is the brother -in -law of Peter Viazuski (although his wife is an illegitimate daughter), and even suspected of eating soft rice. Although his manuscript fee is enough for him to have a rich life, but and and and and. The marriage of the new wife allows him to live and work in a more stable environment.

That Peter, with his glasses, like Pierre, who was slightly thinner, Solovyev was interviewed when he was in Balkans.

Soloviev was in a hurry to get on the road during the march, so he simply stated the situation at the time, but it still caused a sensation in St. Petersburg, especially among the young nobles.

They were eager to make achievements and were still yearning for the military feat of defeating Russia's two old enemies and winning.

But the person involved was more worried about dealing with the French and was more concerned about the affairs of the peasants.

"You only see the surroundings. If you actually live with the peasants, you should be able to find that some places are different, such as the trackers on the Volga River, the serfs in the manor, and the craftsmen in the city. After all, we need to investigate whether we want to oppose or support something. Without investigation, we have no right to speak. After all, you saw the state of the peasants in Andrei Ivanovich's manor. But what about outside? Maybe the Vyazemsky family has always been a kind family and will not easily corporal punishment or sell those souls, but what about others? If you go to Marshal Kamensky's house and take a look, even if you have heard some rumors in his army, you may know why a tragedy happened in Oryol."

This example has to be cited, and Solovyov also mentioned the famous Saltkova case, a female landowner who tortured and killed young girls. The empress personally tried the case and finally made a severe judgment.

"So, what do you mean?"

"Your statement, although you put forward it according to the traditional village community structure. But we all know that this is an ideal result. Not all monarchs are philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, and not every city manager is a thinker among the Greek tyrants. No matter which side of the people or groups, or political parties like the British, they should be carefully investigated instead of listening to other people's opinions. I may be a little excited, but this is probably my opinion."

He would not deny Karamzin. Solovyov knew that his debate level was erratic, and he still preferred to solve the problem with direct means.

And Karamzin did not give a positive answer, but he also heard what Solovyov said.

"I know what you think, maybe this is a good idea, but it also requires..."

"You have been an editor, so you are naturally good at expressing your opinions through words. I am a soldier, and I always like to study problems through practice and investigation. You know, without pre-war reconnaissance, without sufficient plans, and without flexible mobilization, we cannot win the war. I think it is the same everywhere."

In short, he has expressed his opinions, and Karamzin has been an editor, so he must be very familiar with Hak's tricks. Even Solovyov was prepared for his words, so he interrupted his chanting.

As for what will happen in the future, who knows? (End of this chapter)
