Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 324 026 It’s not funny that a bear carries a policeman on his back
No matter which home Solovyov lived in, he was too close to the Moika Canal.

If there are some noisy neighbors on this river, you can actually hear it if it is relatively quiet.

When he concentrates on translating at home, he still very much hopes for a quiet environment.

However, the other side of the canal did not seem so quiet either, it was too noisy.

What he was going to do at the moment was not very important, so he had the leisure to ask Adela.

"Adela, what's happening in the streets?"

She went out to look and saw a carriage, and a window frame had fallen off the top.

After coming back, Adela shook her head as soon as she entered the door and then sighed.

"Oh, some people are tearing down the windows over there. It looks like it's those reckless guards again. Brother, you are the commander of the guards. Do you want to take care of these lawless guys?"

"I am not interested."

Actually, Adela's treatment in his house was not much different from that of her sisters, except that she still had to work on weekdays.

"If you don't care, why are you asking these noisy guys?"

To be honest, this girl has a bit of a fierce personality at heart, but I didn't pay much attention to her before and only saw her well-behaved and sensible side.

"Oh Adela, go and get some rest."

"Those guys were howling like wolves, which really made it difficult for us to rest."

"Then let's go and have a look."

But when Solovyov held her hand, he always felt that something was wrong with this girl.

After all, he also has several lovers. Could it be that this girl has been with him for so long that she has developed feelings for him while calling him brother?

Ah, this is indeed a bit troublesome.

After all, Solovyov still wanted to find a good husband for Adela when she grew up. Some nobles didn't care so much about their wives' backgrounds, they just wanted them to be pretty, educated, and good-looking.
This is especially true since Adela is a French chick.

Although what happened with Adela was not considered orthopedic, it was a bit too beastly.

He is very lustful and has very good taste, but he just can't bring himself to do anything to his close stepsister.

"Do you have a fever?"

Solovyov also touched Adela's forehead with the back of his hand. Her face was very hot and her breathing was rapid, but she didn't look sick.

"No, brother."

"Oh, that's all. You should put on more clothes. Although it's still warm in Petersburg at this time of the year, it's very windy."

Moreover, it is called "night", and it is now day night.

Well, it was normal for the libertines that Anatole had gathered to seek out actresses.

Even when Solovyov pulled Adela out, he saw a very dangerous move.

Ah, that Dolokhov, that scoundrel Dolokhov, sitting on the unsteady windowsill, with one hand holding up the bottle of rum, and without support from the other, just drinking like that.

This guy is one of the most reckless desperadoes in St. Petersburg.

Moreover, he was also a good duelist, and although Solovyov could kill him in quick succession, he was not sure that he could defeat him in a duel. Moreover, they were still friends, but because they were in different circles, they deliberately kept their distance.

When Adela saw this, she didn't act like a French girl should, she didn't feel scared at all.

It seems that this is the soil and water of Russia. Even if a French girl lives here, some changes will occur.

"Ah, he's finished it, Adela, what a lunatic."

"But I don't like this. He's too barbaric."

"Then I'll find you a husband, one with a gentle personality and handsome looks?"

"It's just a vase, brother."

Adela hugged Solovyov's arm with both arms, acting like a kitten.

"Well, let's talk about this later. Adela, I will respect your choice."

Solovyov obviously said this to leave an opening for Adela, the cunning little cat, just as if he was going to translate the content of "Spring and Autumn Annals", and there was a Duke Mu in the Qin Dynasty who insisted on reciting "June" from the Book of Songs in front of Chong'er.

The effect was the same, and Adela even thought that she could be closer to her brother in the future.

Trouble is coming, but it won’t happen in the near future.

After all, Solovyov still had to fight against the French as a member of the Guards.

He is very busy at work right now, and the little girl is sensible enough not to come and disturb him while he is working.

As for the noisy bunch, they were just coming out of the apartment on the other side of the canal, singing and lighting torches, with a little bear.

"Brother, you told me that some Russians raise bears. This is the first time I've seen this."

"So what do you want to raise? Isn't the kitten I got for you good enough?"

Solovyov doted on Adela very much. Although she was nominally a maid, he could buy her anything she wanted.

Because when she was delivering a letter one time, she saw the cat raised by Princess Yusupov's eldest daughter, Ekaterina Potemkina, and she liked it very much.

The girl was the most well-behaved and obedient among Potemkin's nieces and granddaughters, and she actually let Adela take the cat out to play.

Like the Russians, the French all like to pet cats, so when Adela came back, she asked Solovyov to get a cat in the name of catching mice.

Her character attributes somewhat overlap with those of the married young lady Maria, but it is also abnormal for Russian families to not have cats.

My father, Baron Sergei, had a black cat and an orange cat at home, and later a gray kitten, all of them were male.

The old man has never watched Tom and Jerry, so how could he do something like this?
As for Solovyov, he got a British shorthair.

It's a pity that there are really no chinchillas in this place, and Russian rats are relatively strong. If we are outside the city, we will need forest cats and the more active Russian blue cats.

Solovyov also kept a dog in his yard. It was Crown Prince George who mentioned that he had a friend in St. Petersburg and asked him to find the English bulldog through his connections.

Wow, he has turned his home into a battlefield of a cat-and-mouse war. Fortunately, mice are still relatively hard to find at the moment, so nothing will go wrong.

If Adela continues to grow taller, she might become the live-action version of the Sinorita animated character.

She was really pretty, but she was too smart, and Solovyov sometimes couldn't guess what she was thinking.

So two of them came out to join in the fun and watched the group of guys go towards the theater.

"Brother, I think they will get into trouble."

Solovyov stroked Adela's braids, but he was a little puzzled. She didn't know the story about the bear and the police, so why was she so sensitive? "You are right to think so. The group of playboys headed by Anatoly Kuragin will definitely cause trouble."

But Solovyov also had to think about why this girl was so smart.

"But how did you find out?"

"Brother, your friend Pierre and that lawless Dolokhov are among them. Although Mr. Pierre is an honest man, he is so big and mixed up with such a group of people. Also, when you asked me to go out to deliver the letter, I knew that Anatole from the Kuragin family was not a good person. I don't know which sister he is going to seduce..."

Solovyov found that it was indeed a wise decision for the child to let her go out to deliver the letter.

And if I give her the car fare, she can save some of it.

Unless it's an emergency, she would even walk there, saving money on the round trip.

It is said that children from poor families have to grow up early. Solovyov raised Adela as his younger sister, and the salary he paid to this child was almost as much as the pocket money he gave to Yulia.

She collected and saved money like a hamster, and put the coins into a penguin piggy bank when she came back. This was indeed the result of her experience selling flowers in Paris.

In addition to saving money, Solovyov knew what Adela was doing secretly, but he didn't expect that she would get more and more information as she got more information, and she knew it more detailed than he did.

"Adela, you really have some talent. Your brother loves you well."

"This is what I should do, brother. Since you took me in, I will do my best to help you."

After saying that, the girl took the initiative to kiss Solovyov on the cheek.

This thoughtful little girl was as close to Solovyov as his own sisters. This was family affection, and Solovyov himself could not imagine that there were other emotional factors involved.

It is true that he cheated on the Tsar himself, but he is not a sister-con like the Tsar.

"Adela, come on, let's go and take a look together."

Speaking of which, this girl does have good physical strength. She was still jogging behind him with her skirt lifted up.

As for what happened.
"Ah, poor policeman, tied to the bear like this."

It was too late to stop them, these people acted too quickly, trouble was inevitable.

Especially the role played by Pierre. Dolokhov and Anatoly were just two bastards, so it would have been fine if they were just that, but Pierre was drunk and so powerful that he was really hard to control.

Solovyov and Adela didn't see how funny it was to have a bear and a policeman tied together.

Of course, the bear swam and carried the policeman to shore, and thank God, nothing happened.

However, these troublemakers will always get into trouble.

Especially Dolokhov, he has no backing except his uncle who is a general.

But General Dolokhov was a rather strict man, and if he knew that his nephew had gotten into trouble, he would have punished him just the same.

"That's bad, Dolokhov. I'm afraid you'll be demoted to a private."

"So what? I don't make a living with my brain like you, Colonel."

"Ahaha, don't call me that. You're still in the Guards."

"Yes, but don't ask me to intercede for you. I already owe you enough."

Actually, Dolokhov owed Solovyov a favor in the past when Solovyov was still a lieutenant. Otherwise, he would not be facing severe punishment now for his trouble-making.

"Well, I won't stop you."

As for Anatoly, his greedy father still has a way to solve his problem.

The problem now is Pierre.

After this guy sobered up, he was still a little confused.

"You will not be able to stay in Petersburg. This is the least you can do. You must think carefully about where you are going, Pierre."

"I think if I continue like this, I can only go to Moscow. Thank you, Mikhail, for this time."

"Well, Andre has told you, so I won't say any more."

It seemed that he didn't listen to anything Andre said to him.

Andrei himself is a more serious person, while Solovyov is more lively, but he is always serious when facing problems.

As for Anatoly, he didn't want to look at this guy.

But he also had his own way. The old duke at Tongshan Manor would sometimes correspond with him, and they would talk about how to write "The History of Suvorov's Wars".

The old prince hoped that a young man like Solovyov, who had some theoretical foundation, had been with Suvorov for some time, and had some writing skills, would write the article.

However, Solovyov believed that he had followed his master for too short a time and was not yet able to gain a deep understanding, so he handed the matter over to Mr. Antin and asked him to find a writing team to write it.

The old duke also prepared bonds himself to redeem the reward.

This is the main content of the communication, and what should be included when writing the war history.

Of course, sometimes we also talk about what happened in St. Petersburg.

He could write about Anatoly's deeds at this time, so that when the prodigal son goes to Tongshan, he will have a hard time.

Originally, Solovyov did not have a good relationship with Prince Vasily, and even with his old father Baron Sergei.

If this goes on, I'm afraid we'll always have grudges against each other.

As for the incomparably beautiful Helen in his family, Solovyov could not move her away from Pierre.

After all, Count Bezukhov's will was very clear, and Solovyov even glanced at the will when he was with Paul and Alexander.

Nowadays, my brain is too good and I remember too many things, which is also a problem, because all kinds of annoying things will crowd into my brain, although there are also happy things.

Overall, my head is buzzing.

After the fun was over, Solovyov and Adela walked back.

It was Anatoly, who had always been a playboy, who noticed something was wrong with Adela.

"This golden fox from Liangzan is quite popular with women."

"Anatole, if you say that again, I'll throw you into the canal."

Speaking of which, Dolokhov is a bastard, but he is very loyal to his friends in the underworld, as long as he recognizes them.

"Well, I won't say much. I just envy him for being so popular with women. I'm afraid that after General Miloradovich, he will be the one."

However, Solovyov himself did not realize much about Adela's feelings.
