Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 535 047 It seems that the music and dance are going on, but in fact, the plank road is built in the open and the plank road is secretly built.

Soon, before Christmas comes, no matter whether it is according to the Julian calendar or the Gregorian calendar, a large reception will always be held.

If such a festival is not considered, a large-scale celebration will naturally be held on the night of the New Year.

And think about it, this is the first time that the Russian army has held such a large-scale reception after occupying Abo and the long-term curfew and military control. Moreover, it is held twice according to two calendars. It must be very lively, so the local Finnish nobles, as long as they have not left, must come to participate.

Some of them are against Russia's aggression, but think about it, for the nobles, it is not a strange thing to serve any monarch in this era.

As for a small place like Abo, it is also the largest city in Finland at present, surpassing Helsingfors. It is not like in the 21st century, Turku can only squeeze into the top five in Finland.

But no matter what, this place is now the first, and Helsingfors is not ranked. That's my advantage. And some of the channels are mixed.

When Madame Recamier came to Abo, it was also before the first reception. In the past few years she lived in Petersburg, she couldn't dress up as a Greek goddess like in Paris, wearing a light white dress, walking barefoot on a blanket, and exposing her shoulders and a large area of ​​white skin in the northern hemisphere.

So now she also wrapped herself in fur clothes made of sea otter skin, and even wore deerskin boots with fluff inside.

She is indeed the one in charge of "beauty" among the legendary "Three Graces" in Paris at that time. Even if she did not receive systematic education in terms of knowledge, like many ladies in the upper class of Paris, she started from a "wild girl" and accumulated knowledge, and she also relied on talent.

Not every woman is like Madame Roland, even if someone like Madame Staël is not as good as her. They have a high level of education, and the latter is the daughter of Louis XVI's finance minister, so this level is different.

"Madam, I am glad that you have come. It will be a new year soon, and it should be a year full of joy."

"Count, you are indeed better at speaking than before."

"Let me introduce you. This is Prince Bagration, the bravest general in Russia and my senior brother. We were both taught by the Grand Marshal Prince Suvorov and we were also comrades in the expedition to Italy. He has always been my old superior and has taken good care of me."

"Your wife is very beautiful and energetic. We met in Vienna, but she has been recuperating there. . "

"Yes, my wife always needs to recuperate. After she gave birth, the doctor asked her to go to recuperate, so she had to stay in Vienna. Although it is an 'Eastern Country', it seems that the climate is more like here than in a 'Southern Country' like France."

"Your statement is very interesting. It can be seen that you both like money-grubbers. And such a strong man and such a handsome young man, you two are actually close friends and close friends, which is really curious!"

In fact, although some of the words here are polite, they are generally carried out according to the script of Bagration and Solovyov.

Madam is also very smart. Her relationship with Solovyov is more like friends. At the same time, he helped her overcome her fear of being intimate with men, and then developed feelings. At this time, she is more willing to cooperate with Solovyov's approach, and she even thinks that sometimes women should be able to take risks appropriately.

After Madame Pompadour, the salon hostesses in France wanted to learn some experience in intervening in politics, but the direction has developed to the category of keyboard politics. So, there was Madame Roland's headless and the expulsion of several other ladies.

After her husband lost his mind, Madame Recamier understood one thing, that is, to stay away from politics, so she always pays attention to talking about art.

Speaking of which, politicians, no matter whether they are politicians, bureaucrats or generals, are not as good as diplomats in this aspect, but Madame Recamier has always admired Soloviev. From a small officer of the middle-class aristocracy to now a count, and also a general, he is not only good at fighting but also cultural, good at literature and history, and understands the mysterious oriental culture in the eyes of the French.

As for being beautiful, if he dresses according to the Bourbon court and powders like a girl, he is indeed a rare species.

And the lady also knows that he is the teacher of Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand Duke Mikhail. Just think about it. Grand Duke Nicholas is only 12 years old. Although he is a boy, if he changes his clothes, he will probably be a cute girl. The appearance of this master and apprentice is also very interesting.

Of course, the lady prefers knowledgeable men, such as Chabdorion, who can be called the love of her life, but she has not had the chance to get acquainted with him at this time.

At this time, a talented man like Solovyov is a better choice. Unfortunately, due to Russia's anti-French attitude, although the two had a good relationship, they did not establish this relationship.

Although this is a bit regrettable, think about the count's wife, who actually tacitly accepted the relationship between her husband and herself

It sounds very subtle. Although the fate of the two can only swing back and forth between lovers and friends, sometimes it is worth taking some risks.

As for a salon hostess like her, a socialite who is naturally very talented in acting, and also very seductive. You must know that Napoleon's brother Lucien and the backbone of the republican party General Moreau were attracted to her. I'm very fascinated. This kind of remoteness and understanding of a man's mentality also requires acting talent.

Only this time, she had to cooperate with Solovyov to perform a performance, which was different from her previous experience.

As for today's reception, it was indeed the same. As for her beauty, she quickly attracted the attention of many local veterans.

Although Mrs. Rekamir is over thirty years old, she still looks like a little girl because she is well-maintained. With Solovyov, who is already smaller, they look like siblings. The kind that cuts off part of your age.

Old people, who like big waves and young people, naturally stare at this pair with a little envy.

The local aristocrats of Abo also heard that Solovyov married a girl who had just been considered a "coming of age" in the aristocratic circle, so they also knew that this beautiful lady should be a noble lady with whom he had a close relationship. .

Of course, Mrs. Recamier's status in the social circle is very high, and it is still difficult for Swedish nobles like Finland to get close to her. If you want to be close to her, you have to be a big noble in Stockholm to have enough rank.

"Now, can we start?"

"Don't worry yet. Today is not the official day. How long has it been since we were together?"

"Since I arrived in Petersburg, you have only been with me for a short time, and then you got married. I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"Sister Julie, why don't I want you? You are so beautiful. If you are called Venus, it is obviously not appropriate in some aspects. It may be more appropriate to say that you are Axl (the goddess of health). It’s more appropriate, after all, you have always maintained your charm, and now you are even more radiant.”

"What a clever mouth!"

Madame Rekamir also touched Solovyov's shoulder with her fan, and pressed closer to him.

"I also visited your wife and children. They are all lovely. Catherine is a good girl, but as a wife and mother, they are too young and clumsy. Although I have never given birth to a child, I can also feel it. She works hard."

"Thank you too, Julie"

The public show of affection between these two people can indeed easily give people the wrong impression. Even if the Russians strengthen their garrison in Finland, they are just adding some chips to the peace talks.

Bagration also found it funny when he saw this behavior. He knew that his wife had an affair with Metternich in Vienna, and during the war, he mentioned it in a friend's letter, but also mentioned the derogatory "little goblin" Metternich's words.

He hopes that his wife can come back and the family can be reunited, but thinking about the current situation

He can only put on a show and spread the news about his wife. Anyway, in Russia's inner circle of Petersburg and Moscow, this is not uncommon.

The prince himself was indeed anxious about this, but it was not like this on the front line. He had to return to Petersburg and have time at his official residence before writing to his wife about this matter.

Now it is purely a performance, for these Swedish nobles to see.

In the view of the local Swedish nobles, one of the two main generals in the Russian army in Abbo is writing to Vienna because of his wife's affairs, begging her to return to him; and the other, from Petersburg After picking up his mistress, he obviously had no intention of starting a fight.

The actual situation is

Bagration's public statement was that he was quite worried, and he always looked sad when he met people. However, among the army, he immediately changed his face, and further mobilized the army, waiting for the sea to freeze further.

Solovyov seems to be having an affair with Mrs. Rekamir, but in daily situations, in order to maintain his status, he will not be intimate with her.

What's more, when Madam wears boots, her feet are bare and she doesn't wear socks. She has to rest for a few days after a tiring journey, and she also needs to take a shower - Madam is a beauty who loves to be clean.

Therefore, in the first few days after arriving here, before a secret military meeting was held at night, Bagration and Solovyov seemed to be living in their official residences, one was busy with housework, and the other was ghosting with his lover.

However, the actual picture is that Bagration always maintained communication through his adjutant.

As for Mrs. Solovyov and Mrs. Rekamir, it was also a spectacle to see the lady lying on the bed, being coaxed to sleep by being slapped on the back and buttocks by her lover.

"Michelle, is this really necessary?"

"I can't help it. I have military meetings in the evenings these days, so I can't sleep with you. But there are two receptions, so I can accompany you well."

"Then you have to work hard and stay with me when you come back. Is the time up?"

"Not yet. This is also in the north. The nights are so long. I have to wait until much later in the night before leaving."

"Then tell me a story, you little rascal. You always say that women need to hear stories at any age. You have a lovely daughter and a younger wife. Come to me and tell your sister a good story. Story!"

Speaking of which, Andersen is still a 3-year-old child, so it shouldn't be a problem to learn from his stories, or you can tell some of them. There is no complete collection of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" yet, and Mrs. Recamier is sometimes still a little girl in private, and I don't know if her innocence is fake or real.

Anyway, that's it, Solovyov still has a story to tell: "Julie, what do you want to hear?"

"I think you can tell me a story about a princess. After all, you married a real princess from a prince's family. Have you ever coaxed her to sleep?"

"When I met Catherine, she was still a child. When I went to my father-in-law's house before, I told her some stories."

"Then I want to enjoy the treatment of your wife. You have to coax me to sleep before you can go back to the barracks."

"Okay, but you have to be obedient, sleep well, and don't always expose your feet outside. It's very cold here."

Speaking, Solovyov went to catch the lady's feet again, making her "giggle" a few times, and then she shrank back into the quilt.

"Little rascal, don't tell me this first. I want to hear a story."

"Okay, it's just different from what I heard in Germany. The princesses here are different."

For example, in the Eastern European modified version of Snow White, the princess in Russia did not meet seven dwarfs, but seven horse-riding warriors, or seven Cossacks.

This sounds more normal, but Madame Recamier fell asleep just halfway through the story. She was even in Soloviev's arms, snoring softly, and her sleep was a bit deep.

However, this also made her look more lovely, and did not affect her status as a socialite and "goddess".

"Good night, Julie."

He kissed Madame Recamier's forehead, stroked her beautiful cheeks and delicate shoulders, and stuffed her whole body into the quilt, then hurriedly left the mansion and took a carriage to the military camp outside the city.

Soon, he met up with Bagration here, and sitting in front of the table were also the main generals and chiefs of staff of the Southern Corps.

"Gentlemen, remember not to speak German when we talk here, as it will easily expose us to the Swedes."

Bagration was very serious when he held the meeting at night, and he deliberately held it in the military camp to avoid any possible leakage of intelligence. At the same time, he also wanted to use the reception held in Abo to paralyze the enemy and then attack them by surprise.
