Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 189 001 You can’t rest even when you are recovering from your injuries

The news soon reached Petersburg, arriving here in January 1802.

When Louisa read the letter, tears welled up in her eyes. She was worried about her father's injury, and the same was true for her lover Mishka. Due to the huge emotional fluctuations, she was unable to breastfeed her child for several days, and it was painful. Since no one could torture the child, she still called the wet nurse.

"What can we do, Alexander? Dad had an accident in Sweden and broke his leg."

"Lisa, but we can't go to Stockholm now, especially since your health is not good. Although you have recovered a little, the doctor said that you are not healthy enough to travel far. We will still live here in the winter. If you are really worried , you can go to Finland with Amalia in the spring to reunite with your family. Louisa, you smell so good now, are you wearing any new perfume?”

"Your Majesty, you know that I love bathing. I have to clean myself every day to make myself look clean. I only use hot water to wash myself clean, and..."

"Lisa, if you weren't so focused on nurturing the baby, we might be able to do it right now."

"Your Majesty, you have to wait until my body recovers a little and take over our daughters. I don't want to be too far away from the children. We have four daughters, two are too young, and two are just... It’s the age when I start hiring tutors. I still want to spend more time with my children.”

"I promise you, we will take our children and go to the warm indoor bath together. It's just that those clothes are too obstructive between us."

In fact, Louisa knew that Alexander said the same thing when he was looking for women outside. Who knew whether he was acting or really feeling it.

Alexander looked at his daughter-in-law, she was indeed cute, and the more she looked at her, the cuter she became, but she only gave him tenderness and obedience, without the passion and excitement he needed.

Solovyov, on the other hand, likes Louisa's youthfulness and tenderness. He always keeps a sense of distance and knows a lot of knowledge. When touching her conscience, he must be sincere to her. She I will repay you twice as much.

When Louisa put her daughters in the bathtub, she hoped to have a closer relationship with the children, and the two older children were always very close to their mother when they saw her. They loved to "climb new heights" and The little head rested on mother's shoulder.

Being with the children may be more conducive to her feeling happy, and Alexander also figured this out.

At the same time in Stockholm, Carl Ludwig was thankful that he did not move to the church on Knights Island. After the doctor's diagnosis, he broke his leg and needed long-term convalescence, and he would need to recover by then.

As for Solovyov, he is very young. After a period of recuperation, what he needs to worry about may be whether his arm can return to its original appearance.

He didn't know that his appearance in the car was to pull Louisa's father back from the boatman of the River Styx, and of course he paid some price.

While he was recuperating, he thought about something he should do, such as a swimsuit.

When I think about the fact that the swimsuits worn by girls are not suitable for swimming, they may sink to the bottom due to water ingress. Men's swimsuits have rapidly evolved into shorts in recent years, but in a society that is not conservative on the inside, they are always wearing shorts on the street. There will be some defenders who say that only children under 10 years old can disobey the rules when swimming.

However, they may not accept a swimsuit that is too revealing. At one time, even the ankles could not be exposed. They had to wear dancing shoes when swimming, which would not use their strength at all. And what is hidden under the so-called morality, he has not yet understood When I went to Paris and London, I already smelled what was on the mortar shells.

Fortunately, he can shoot left and right, and even after injuring his left arm, he can continue to write and draw with his right hand.

"Mary, what do you think? If you wear clothes like this, it won't be so restrictive when swimming."

Solovyov himself was a little careless. He was flirting with Mary unconsciously. He was just asking, which made Louisa's sister blush again.

So cute, just like my sister.

"But you can't wear it out like this, you can only wear it at home."

"You can use it to attract your fiancé. When you get married, he will definitely love you more."

"Yes, he wrote again. Although he looks so scary, he is really nice. Even if he doesn't see me for half a year, he will always write to me."

"Mary, can I see what your fiancé looks like?"

"Of course, that's it."

Bearded, extremely powerful.

"This gentleman looks like a Viking. He is different from the old marshal, although he is a family member."

"Like a Viking?"

"Yes, warriors with a shield in one hand and an ax in the other. They will fight regardless of their own safety and use other people's heads as bowls. It sounds very vicious."

"As for you, I see that you often use a sword."

"Actually, I prefer to use a revolver. I invented it and improved it with the revolver weapon made by German craftsmen. It is smaller and can even be hidden in a pocket or even under a girl's skirt. It is also designed with a safety device and is very safe. You can’t pull the trigger without opening this little thing.”

"Are you a watchmaker?"

"No, I'm not, but there are skilled craftsmen who can make it. I hired a Danish craftsman to help me complete the design. If you need clothes, you need to invite a tailor to use silk produced in Italy and then cut them into ready-made clothes. I have been to Milan when I was fighting there."

"Then you can improve this pattern and wrap more parts of the body, otherwise it will be too embarrassing."

Mary was still more reserved and added a part of the pattern with a pencil to wrap the knees, but the upper body did not change much.

"You may be right. If you wear dance shoes, it will squeeze your feet."

And she was also thinking that if she wore them at home, her husband might like it.

The girls in this family all studied the same courses, learning French, German, music, art, literature, geography and history, and even basic philosophy, but the environment they were in would cause their ideas to change.

Although Frederica's husband was stupid, the king still loved his wife and it was a daily routine for him to revolve around her; Mary was also looking forward to her fiancé, a reckless but sincere man who would care about her; and Louisa was not so lucky. She was obviously always so beautiful, but Alexander was very philanthropic, and he was always philanthropic in all kinds of states, which was not very good.

Swimsuit design is only a small part. Solovyov found that Sweden, a country, actually imported a large amount of Chinese porcelain. Even though Europeans obtained the processing technology of ceramics through technical analysis and obtained silk through theft earlier, there was some gap in quality.

However, under the premise of technological updates, there is still room for breakthroughs. It is impossible for China to always be the best. Whoever has better technology will be stronger. There is a process of accumulation.

"Can we find something from China here?"

"You should just rest and recover. Grandpa is not like you. He reads books, draws pictures and studies when he is lying in bed."

"I heard that His Royal Highness is also a scholar."

"Yes, but Grandpa will not work all the time when he is lying in bed."

"That's because the old man is very old, please allow me to say that, and I am only 20 years old. I can think of more things and do more things."

"Then I can do something for you, Michael."

"I protect your father, the King of Sweden and the father-in-law of our emperor. His Majesty Gustav will accept your request. After all, you are his aunt. Sometimes it can be useful. "

"What do you want?"

"I brought some ancient Chinese books with me in the embassy, ​​and I was going to do some translation work, but I don't know if Sweden has them. Maybe it has something to do with France."

"Well, I can help you with this matter. You should also stay here and recuperate."

The relationship between the two of them is obviously that of friends who discuss problems. Moreover, Solovyov is one year older than Mary. He finally found the feeling of being a brother to girls besides Yulia and Polina. The two girls are too young and there is a generation gap in communication. Yulia has made great progress and even wrote him a letter, but there are too many spelling errors on it.

"If Yulia was sent to a girls' school earlier, it might not be like this."

The girls' school in the Smolny Palace used to have lower grades and had enrolled students for a long time.

And Mary asked her brother-in-law and got his consent. Gustav did have some books here, and they were all backed up. The Chinese craze in Western European countries is not only in Central and Western Europe, but also in Sweden in Northern Europe.

"This is very good. It's a chronicle, and I happen to understand all the contents. Thank you, Mary."

"Just be your translator here, Michael. I'm going to take care of my father. When we were in Karlsruhe, we didn't live like we did in Stockholm and St. Petersburg."

"But I heard that the Karlsruhe Palace is also quite large, and has a large garden."

"Did you hear it from your sister?"

"Speaking of which, it was when the two princesses of our country were not married yet. When I was a painting model for Princess Elena, Princess Elena mentioned the Karlsruhe Palace."

"But there is only one Karlsruhe Palace, and compared with many palaces, it is very small."

The palace in Baden is indeed much smaller than other palaces. Sometimes it looks like an extended version of a large villa.

Soloviev cannot be discharged from the hospital yet, but he only injured his arm. He can still move around in his daily life, but it's a little awkward.

He can calm down and refer to some books from ancient Greece and Rome to do translation work. This is for reading habits in all aspects, especially when listing items.

At this time, it is more appropriate to take out books such as "Zuo Zhuan", which is more appropriate.

Solovyov is still very confident in his translation ability. His level of classical Chinese has never been eaten by bread and sausages. He can still translate many books, especially those involving classic content.

Looking at Europe, although it cannot be unified, some content can still be borrowed.

He tried his arm. There was no problem writing on the table. However, it was very slow to write anything with his arm hanging. However, this was also good. He needed to proofread the manuscript and did not need to publish it in a hurry. This was also good. He could compile it and publish it when he returned to St. Petersburg.

In fact, Europeans really needed to know about China. He had many things in mind. Translation was the most efficient thing he could do with his injured arm.

Of course, he had to write a letter in January to congratulate the queen on her birthday, but he might not have enough time. After all, he had to look at the mailing time on the way. Moreover, such a big thing happened. He needed to write a letter to report to the Prince of Baden what the situation of the queen's father was.

While doing official business, he also did private business. This was killing two birds with one stone.

Louisa also received a letter in St. Petersburg. She also knew about her old father's situation. She also wanted to thank Solovyov for his protection work this time.

This was not the first time. Louisa knew that she owed a lot to the other party, and the fact that both parties had a child could only be kept secret.

But strangely, Alexander's favorite is the youngest daughter. Although she has green eyes, she looks more like Louisa. Moreover, this child is only a few months old, but she has learned to complain when her sister pinches her.

"What a smart child. Now I know that such a young child already knows it."

"Yes, these two children are very smart. If you do the same thing to Polina, she will tell me."

"Well, the children are all good, but it's a pity that they are all girls."

"Your Majesty, if God blesses, we will always have a son."

But Alexander is also quite strange. Naryshkina has no signs of pregnancy yet. She is obviously in better health. The other mistresses who are pregnant are all girls.

He feels strange, but there is nothing he can do. The land in Russia is very fertile, but there are too many girls born, even his father Paul's last illegitimate son is the same.

Maybe we should wait and see. Maybe there will be changes in a few years. He thinks so.

Alexander also knew Solovyov's reply, which was very plain, unlike those people he saw pursuing the queen every day, who compared Louisa to a sweetheart, but none of them succeeded.

Solovyov reassured him, but Alexander could hardly imagine that someone who wrote such a plain letter had already succeeded.

What's even more strange is that Alexander likes the youngest daughter the most. If the parties knew about this, it might be a very humorous joke.

Of course, Alexander was also very strange. Even if he really knew that Louisa had an affair with someone else, he would not do anything.

Strange people, he is indeed quite interesting.
