Chapter 671 033 Do You Want to Do Archaeology Too?

Katya's clothes are also changed frequently, which may be related to the fact that she is under 20 years old and is even growing.

"Katya, wait a moment."

Solovyov told her to stop, jumped to the steps, and took her in his arms.

"Stand up straight, let me see if you have grown taller again?"

"I really envy Catherine. She can still grow taller, and others want to, but it's a pity that she can no longer grow taller."

"Sister Julie, but you are beautiful."

What Solovyov was thinking was, my wife is really good at talking, and of course he also thought about some wonderful relationship.

That is because her relationship with Mrs. Recamier is too close. She is away from home, and if they are at home, they should be able to live a good life with their children.

When he was thinking about it, he held Katya's shoulders, looked at it again and again, and finally confirmed something.

"It looks like he's really grown, even if it's just a tiny bit taller."

It used to be that the tip of the head was under the neck, but now the hair is here on the chin.

And the feeling in my arms seems to be that she is a little plumper again. She has not passed the stage of growing body. She is really my baby. If she hadn't married into the family, she might still be one of my good sisters.

"Mishka, do you think I can grow taller?"

"I hope you will always be like this, but people will always grow old, and I will definitely be there before you."

"Then I'll be ahead of you two. Okay, we're here to have fun and see the scenery."

"Looking down from the Acropolis, you can only feel the desolation. Who can imagine that Athens used to be a big city, the overlord of the Eastern Mediterranean, and even stir up the situation in Egypt and Syria?"

It's really not that good. The place he points to along his arm looks very desolate. Even if the population of the Acropolis is included, the population of Athens at this time has reached the lowest value of the city.

In this lowest state, the next step is probably to bottom out and rebound.

"You are very interested in Athens. Do you want to learn from Bonaparte and start exploring Greek culture?"

"Julie, even if I have this idea, reality probably won't allow it. I can only come here to watch it. I'm not that worthless Lord Elgin who bribed the Grand Vizier and then came here to steal the reliefs."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Greek culture is also a science, and I would like to sponsor research in this area in Petersburg."

Solovyov himself really has no time to devote to this aspect, especially in the following years. And now that he finally wanted to relax, he decided to inspect the situation throughout Greece and train the local militia into a strong army. Then he should consider returning to Russia to face the most troublesome situation. A question.

Although it was not certain whether Napoleon would come, the affairs on the Russian side and Balasov's criticism of Speransky also made Petersburg uneasy.

I don't have much time in Greece. I probably only have time to do a few things, and that's just to lay a foundation and make a appearance. There's not much I can do about the specific things.

"You are so interesting. Isn't it enough to have us? Ladies and girls around you."

"Okay, I know, Julie. But I do have some interest in various cultures, even the undecipherable Egyptian texts. Maybe the contents on the Rosetta Stone can be interpreted and compared."

This is a spoiler for him, but Madame Recamier has no interest in this aspect, and Katya will agree with her husband.

After the rise of Egyptology and Hellenism, there will probably be something to say.

Of course, Solovyov himself had some ideas. He turned around and looked at the dilapidated Parthenon, and continued: "If one day we can accomplish something, even though we cannot repair this temple, I am also willing to revive ancient customs, especially to promote knowledge. People who do not learn, do not understand knowledge, and do not respect knowledge can only be said to be mediocre people. You two seem to like knowledge very much. "

Although Mrs. Recamier's salon is said to be a literary salon, it contains more current political news and gossip, as well as some people's high-pitched talks. As for Madam herself, her level is not high, but she looks good.

Katya only had a talent for music and dance, and was also somewhat interested in poetry.

Solovyov did know that there was a little curly boy in Tsarskoe Selo Middle School who actually wrote poems for his wife.

Of course, he couldn't know that after he went out with the army, Louisa took a bath with her maids in the pond of Tsarskoye Selo, and saw a little curly hair hiding in the bushes more than once.

If everyone knew it, this kid's homework would be doubled, plus class papers.

You have time to watch the queen take a bath, but you don't study hard!

Although Solovyov himself actually wanted to see Louisa taking a bath.

At this time, what your loving father said makes sense, and you can only envy him.

What he can be proud of is probably that Madame Recamier, known as one of the "Three Goddesses", has a close relationship with him. This may be something that all the young and old men in France are jealous of. After all, Madame Recamier is one of the three goddesses in Paris. The most beautiful and popular one.

Now they are here, on top of the Parthenon.

There are actually many things Solovyov is willing to do. After marching and fighting here, he has already arrived in Greece, so it is inevitable that he will not have any ideas.

As for archeology, there are actually some places you can visit.

Coming down from the Parthenon and returning to the Governor's Villa, some people will still envy him.

But this is not the point. The process of holding meetings in Athens is too long. Soloviev was very troubled when he was on the scene. If there is a meeting record, he will be very troubled.

In this environment, he thinks he can go out to travel to Delphi and Olympia, which is better than listening to such a group of gentlemen arguing in Athens. Maybe there will be some new discoveries.

As for other things, he has considered them.

It's just that in this era, there are no Greek temples or priestesses in these two places. Many ancient Greek traditions have been cut off. Even the temples that can be seen on the surface have been converted into churches.

The churches built later were also rebuilt, which can be said to be a cycle.

Now it's just that he, Soloviev, as a Russian soldier, brought his team here to dial back the version a little, and it looks a lot more normal.

"You have so many things you want to do. It seems that peace is more needed than war."

"Katya, who says it's not? If there were no war now, we would probably be traveling around the world."

"Are you going to China too?"

"Although the journey is a bit long, it will probably be the same after a few years on the road."

"What about the children? What if we have children again?"

"Take the children with you while they are still young. Speaking of which, Sasha is so young, you brought him here because he is very stable and always sleeps. Otherwise, it would be very hard."

"Speaking of Sasha, it's time to feed him now. Wait for me."

At this time, there is no way to wait. The priority of the child is obviously higher at this time.

Katya undressed and fed Sasha, who wanted to eat when he woke up. He had finished eating.

"I really envy this child. He sleeps right after eating, and he is not affected by us. He sleeps quite well."

"It's good for him to be like this. This time, he is not like when Pasha and Lisa were born. You were so scared outside at that time."

"It's not completely like that, but it's just this time."

"Don't be so anxious. You are as anxious as a monkey."

That's really the "anxious king". Solovyov also knows that his wife is very good.

"Okay, let's sleep like this."

"We are together, so let Mihrima go out."

"Okay, when I'm here, she just listens to me."

Mikhrima is also very well-behaved. Solovyov gave her instructions and she left the bedroom.

"Mishka, you raise this child as a sister or a daughter, but she seems to be interested in you at such a young age."

"How do you know?"

Katya poked her husband's shoulder with her slender fingers when she said this.

"Her reluctant look is really scary for children nowadays."

Soloviev couldn't help laughing when he heard his wife, who was less than 20 years old, commenting on his maid like this.

"Hahaha. Katya, your statement is so interesting. It's just that she is older than Octavia and not much younger than you, but you say she is a child. If you didn't marry me, you would still be a girl now."

"What's wrong with that?"

"She is interested in me, but she is too young. You were over 16 when you married me. It's still too early."

Obviously, Katya is the kind of daughter-in-law that noble lords want to marry into their families. Although she has a lively personality, she is also obedient and cares about her husband's affairs.

And she also knows the principle that it is better to open up than to block, as her husband is rather picky.

Soloviev felt that he had let his wife down a bit. The matter of Mihrima was probably discovered by a woman's intuition.

He himself did not feel anything, and after Mrs. Recamier arrived in Sofia, he sent Mihrima there.

It seems that he still underestimated the problem.

But now the more important thing is probably to sleep, and in the next few days, there will be a lot of more headaches. Meetings and debates.

He regretted a little, why did he make such a big fuss, causing the Greeks to come out and toss, and the wrangling in front of him was more lively than the vegetable market.

If he knew this, he might as well write a letter and arrange for a king to come here.

But Karageorge also has a precedent. The Serbs finally established a committee in the midst of constant debates, and they were very disunited. The warlords in the east once pulled up their own team, so the internal forces in Serbia were very complicated.

On the Greek side, it is not just about Greece itself, but also about external forces, especially the British and French, who have always been infiltrating the Eastern Mediterranean.

It's just that the British want money, the Russians want land, and the French seem to want death.

Just when he was feeling proud, Sultan Mahmud summoned the British and French ambassadors respectively, and the focus of the discussion was the diplomatic negotiations with Russia.

As always, Britain provided all support other than supplies, that is, help, and encouraged Sudan to continue fighting.

On the French side, it is said that at some point, the French emperor will make an arbitration, so it is hoped that Mahmoud will continue the war with the Russians after the armistice ends.

The situation in Macedonia is a little funny now. Soloviev took his wife, children and lover to Athens to join the heroes. The commander of the Russian army in Salonika is Langgeron, who is also a Frenchman.

The Sultan himself was also somewhat silent. Anyway, no one dared to coup against him now. The inheritance of the Ottoman Empire came to him, which can be said to be the only male seedling.

The male descendants of the Ottoman Empire in the future are all from his descendants. If he died easily, the Ottoman Empire would probably fall into a period of internal vacancy.

Soloviev really thought about this direction, but because of the lack of assassination methods and the fact that the beneficiary is likely to be Britain, he would not adopt this method.

After all, a controllable and gradually weakening country is better controlled than a fragmented country that is directly torn apart, and it may not even be clear who is in charge there.

Moreover, the Russian upper class is now preparing to cut off a part of it and establish its own sphere of influence in the Balkan Peninsula. It is reasonable to do so while France and Austria are not in the mood to interfere.

Mahmoud also decided to continue the war, so both sides are still in intense preparations, but this is limited to Bulgaria and Macedonia.

In other directions, the ceasefire has actually been reached.

Solovyov can also take this opportunity to visit Olympia and Delphi in early 1811, and he also knows about the ancient Olympic Games.

However, he obviously feels that this matter is not exciting enough. The ancient Olympic Games basically have a few main events, all of which are sports, and there is no artistic performance.

For example, the Pythia Games in the Temple of Apollo, after the sacrifice and celebration activities, there are literary and artistic, athletic and racing competitions, which is very interesting and actually covers a wide range.

He has read books, even with his wife in his arms, and has always had this idea.

It is naturally good to have this idea, which is better than nothing.

So before he went to Olympia, his family had to go to Delphi first, where they might find something.

In short, it was much better than watching a group of crosstalk here all day long. He would feel uncomfortable if he could not understand Greek and started arguing. It would be better to watch a musical performance or other performances. (End of this chapter)
