Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 487 064 There should be background music for getting married here

Before the wedding day, there will be a bachelor party, but most of Solovyov's friends are already married, so this kind of party is unnecessary.

Thinking of Pierre's wife, Solovyov didn't want to arrange it at this time.

Therefore, he slept very well the night before his wedding.

If he were on the battlefield, he would have kept his ears perked up.

And who are the guests? If you really make a list, it will be enough to fill a chapter or two, after all, Russian names are longer. At the same time, the weight of these guests is also there, and the gifts they brought will naturally not be few.

Although it may be an inconspicuous little object, the value will not be low.

Of course, the important thing is the wedding, but little Katya is only 16 years old. Although early marriage and early childbirth are normal among Russian nobles, for Solovyov, he is a shell and always...But the gendarmerie will not care about these.

You have to know that when Alexander and Louisa got married, one was 16 and the other was only 15. The Russian royal family was always anxious to have children. They even consummated their marriage when they were middle school students. Then there was a series of soap operas in the Russian court.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a difficult problem to solve.

Solovyov's family has a stepmother, which is easy to say. To him, she is like an older sister. Yulia and little Katya are of the same age, and she treats them like sisters, although there is also a fifteen-year age difference between them.

This is always a good thing. There won't be too many troubles at home, and little Katya's family background is really strong. Whether it is Moscow or many surrounding cities, if you talk about it, they are all deeply related to the Dolgoruky family.

Moreover, the Dolgoruky family and the Volkonsky family, as well as the Andrei family with a letter difference, are also relatively close.

Solovyov was really protected by the top nobles in Russia. If Ivan the Terrible had not abolished the inheritance rights of Rurik's paternal branches, after the fall of Boris Godunov, no family would be willing to step forward. In the end, a vote was held, and the Romanov family, whose maternal line was Rurik, benefited. I am afraid that the war of succession to the throne in Russia will be more troublesome. The two fake Dimitri are already very troublesome.

Fortunately, the handover was relatively smooth, but the Dolgoruky family was closer to the descendants of Peter the Great and suffered a lot during the reign of Queen Anna. Several branches that once held military power were demoted and deposed, and it was not until the reign of the Queen that they gradually revived.

The Sparrow Hills manor was developed when Katya's grandfather was the commander-in-chief of Moscow when his military achievements were at their peak, but now it has also been transferred to Prince Yusupov.

It stands to reason that the old house would not be sold unless there was a serious economic crisis, but Prince Yusupov gave too much, enough to fill Prince Vasily's debts, and even more money to buy a dowry for little Katya.

Compared with the weddings he attended in Gatchina and the Winter Palace before, Solovyov also found that the "little fairy" came from the family of Catherine I, the daughter-in-law of Peter the Great, and was considered a nouveau riche family, and several aunts came to help.

The relatives of the Dolgoruky family, who were famous for military merits, who came to support the family, sitting on the side of the bride were already outrageous.

As for those sitting on his side, they were basically foreigners, and even Queen Louise sent Clausewitz to represent him. After Kutuzov entered the venue, he thought about it and saw that Suvorov's students and the son of the Grand Marshal, Arkady, were sitting on his side, so he also came over.

This old guy came today and brought gifts.

"Misha, I know you like weapons. This is a Damascus knife I captured when I was young and fighting against the Turks. I have always kept it carefully. I was shot twice in the eye for it, both from the same place."

"I know everything about you, and thank you for your gift."

Soloviev pulled Kutuzov aside and spoke to him again.

"Today's main dish is made by the chef invited from Petersburg. You must come and enjoy it!"

"Of course, you have good wine and food here, otherwise I wouldn't have come so far and applied for a petition to lift the ban on staying in the manor."

"But I think the emperor still needs you and can't let you stay in Kiev forever. I'm afraid you will still have to deal with troubles in the future."

"You are good at talking, but you young people are also doing well. The three apprentices that Alexander Vasilyevich cares about the most are all very capable."

Speaking of which, with his age, he is more like a master uncle in the Suvorov family, just like Zhou Botong.

With his characteristics of sometimes being disrespectful to the elderly and having fun, it does seem a bit like that.

Soloviev thought so, but he would not pass by Niujia Village, let alone an old Taoist priest, just an analogy.

After speaking, he sat aside, saw Andrei and his wife first, and went over to talk to them.

As for little Katya, she also had a group of aunts and uncles coming over, including General Grushetsky and his wife, the old benefactors of the Solovyov family.

If these gifts were placed here, they would probably be piled up like a small mountain.

As for the number of guests, in addition to the blessing of bread and salt, the metropolitan of the diocese is here to witness the marriage. The manor in Sparrow Hill only has a small church. In order to witness, the metropolitan has to be at the door of the church. to proceed.

And the vow is nothing more than "My partner in life and my only love. I will cherish our friendship and love you, now, in the future, and forever. I will trust you, respect you, I will laugh with you, Cry together. I will love you faithfully, no matter the future is good or bad. I will be with you through the bad, the hard and the good. Just as I hold out my hand for you to hold, I will give my life to you, so please help me, my Lord.” Such words, but when Solovyov mentioned this, he always felt that he would owe little Katya.

But they had already made it clear before their marriage that this was not a big problem.

During the oath taking, if Solovyov could have noticed, he might have seen Mrs. Rekamir sitting there wiping her tears.

She was somewhat afraid of remarriage because of Prince August's incident, so she did not plan to get married. Solovyov's words did not meet the standards of a husband in her mind, but he was just a good friend and a good lover.

Now he has entered the palace of marriage, and he is just the hostess of the Petersburg literary salon.

If she wants to get married, I'm afraid she needs someone with a high level of education, who is not a soldier, but preferably a diplomat, who can be with her for a long time, or at least someone who can visit her regularly.

At this time, in fact, it would be right to report Chabdo Lyon's ID number directly.

As for the exchange of rings and the formal oath of marriage, Solovyov looked at little Katya carefully.

He himself came in wearing the uniform of a Guards general, with medals hanging on his chest, and honorary weapons. At the age of 26, he could already display two rows of medals, which was an incredible achievement.

The wedding dress worn by little Katya is pink, which suits her age well and makes her look lively.

After all, the impact of black is too strong, and apart from representing undying love in Spain, it is more or less the same elsewhere.

As for white, if the main theme in the middle of this century is still Aunt 2, white wedding dresses may become popular. The color of bridal dresses is not so uniform during this period. Even little Katya's mother still wants to follow the same dress as when she first married. Give it a match.

But because it was "relatively earthy", not trendy enough, and not the right color, I gave up on it.

As for the matching of jewelry, it looks very light. She wears family heirloom jewelry instead of diamonds.

Although diamonds look very beautiful and are very hard, a famous family that has been around since the Varyag period may not necessarily like this type of gemstone. However, the combination of heirloom rubies and sapphires is more pleasing to the eye. .

Times are different, and tastes are also different. Although little Katya's sister-in-law Praskovya is a money-grubbing old woman who will not refuse shiny things, but she has no feeling for diamonds. She also hopes to get a niece. This set of family heirloom jewelry looked greedy when I looked at it.

However, Prince Vasily was the heir to the family and was willing to give up the dowry for his beloved eldest daughter. So, he took out a set of family heirloom jewelry, which was a complete set. It might not look that eye-catching, but when it comes to history, it is still a treasure from the time when the Grand Duchy of Moscow began to call itself Tsarist.

She cannot covet these things. The misappropriation of the property of Earl Bruce's family has already aroused criticism from many nobles. This is done so badly that if there is a dispute with her brother, Prince Vasily, it will be involved for a long time. time.

Just thinking about it, the Musin-Pushkin family is already somewhat far away from the Pushkin family. Their family can be considered a famous aristocrat, but there should be no such uncle in the family.

Regardless of whether it is the youngest son of the "old witch" or Solovyov, or the other marriage partners proposed to little Katya, they are either young generals with some promise, or children of prominent families, for Vasily For the prince, maybe a brother-in-law who can fight is actually a good son who can be relied on more.

If a fight really breaks out, Solovyov, an attendant general who is related to the Tsar himself and his three brothers, may be even more difficult to mess with.

When Solovyov held little Katya's hand, he noticed with his peripheral vision a greedy look, but he just had an "intuition". It was a wedding now, so he didn't care about it.

What matters is marriage and a happy life.

"Katerinka, can I kiss you? Now you are my little wife, and I am also your husband."

"Of course, Mishka."

After becoming an official couple, Katya's identity also became Countess Solovyova. These things are still very clear between husband and wife.

Now that they are officially husband and wife, the chapel bells will ring and people will applaud.

As for the part of returning to the living room, it seems more Roman, with hands warming the fire and jumping over obstacles.

Since it is a place with seven hills and the "Third Rome", there are still some places that cannot be avoided. These traditions are all there.

As for the two people returning to the guest room prepared for their wedding, well, this is also the general process.

Speaking of which, Soloviev had many lovers, but little Katya, his wife, was the first real girl he had met.

Even if she was more ambiguous with him, Maria might be a Russian grand duchess, but her bloodline mainly came from the German princes, but she had a little Romanov blood.

It was really amazing, and after little Katya took off her wedding dress, she obviously had to change clothes because she had to entertain guests later.

"Do you want me to help you?" Soloviev put his hand on her shoulder, and little Katya blushed immediately.

"At this time. Disgusting, Mishka, let's wait until the evening."

"Well, I'll ask Yulia and Adela to come and help you. Sonya is too young, and my sisters are even younger. They can't help much and may even cause trouble."

"But it's okay to ask them to come to play at home."

After all, this girl is still young and always loves to play.

As for little Katya, after changing out of this wedding dress, she changed into a traditional Russian costume.

In St. Petersburg, Soloviev had only seen Alexandra in a portrait when she was 6 years old. It was really rare.

Peter the Great did a lot of things to change customs, and the Tsar himself took the lead in imitating the French. The frequency of traditional costumes in the upper class was much lower.

But after she changed, she still looked very beautiful. Young and beautiful girls, as long as they were not wearing strange clothes, would look very good in any combination.

It is inevitable that people will feel: Wife, you are so beautiful, just like...

That's about it, and there are so many guests to entertain today.

Although the Dolgorukov family has lived in St. Petersburg or abroad for a long time, they also have a considerable number of relatives and friends here, and Soloviev's side also really came with a large group of officers.

If there were not so many people, the old soldiers of the Selenge Regiment would probably come over, and even come to make trouble.

But there was no other way, so they could only entertain them alone in the barracks, which solved a problem.

When they went out hand in hand and came to the banquet, they could find that although there were many hostile forces at the scene, everyone got along well and no embarrassing incidents occurred as expected.

Even Caulaincourt was originally a nobleman of the Bourbon period, and he had a good chat with the Duke of Richelieu and others, which was also a basic operation in diplomatic occasions.

It's good that nothing happened, Solovyov still wiped his sweat.

The next thing, apart from entertaining guests, is probably the matter between the young couple.
