Chapter 26 26 An idyll Yet, woohoo!

My uncle is a wonderful person!Grisha, the poor nephew and sole heir of Captain Nasychkin, told me more than once that I love him with all my heart. Let's go to his house, my friend!He will be very happy! Tears welled up in Grisha's eyes when he spoke of his dear uncle.A word should be said to honor him, who was never ashamed of such good tears, but in public!I obeyed his request and went to the captain's house a week ago.I walked into the front hall, took a look into the hall, and saw a moving picture.The captain, old and thin, was drinking tea in a big armchair in the middle of the hall.Grisha knelt before him, stirring his tea affectionately with a spoon.

Grisha's fiancée stretched out a beautiful arm around the little old man's dark brown neck. The poor nephew and his fiancée were arguing: which of them should kiss the lovely uncle first?Then they kissed him endlessly. Now it's time for you to kiss yourselves, my heirs!Nasychkin murmured that there was a most enviable relationship among the three with breathless happiness.I, a hard-hearted person, looked at them, and couldn't help being happy and jealous, and my heart tightened, yeah!Nasychkin said, I can say one thing: I have had a good life in my life!May God bless everyone to live such a life.How many times have I eaten sturgeon alone!How wonderful!For example, take me at Skopin Bank [Note: A private bank in Petersburg. 】 Let’s talk about the sturgeon you’ve eaten!Even now I'm drooling

Tell me, tell me!Said the fiancee. That day, boy, I went to the Skopin Bank with several thousand rubles and went directly to Lykov [note: the manager of the Skopin Bank. ] Mr. Lykoff.He's a big shot Hey!Mister golden!Gentlemen!He treats me like a family member. In fact, why should he be so attentive, but he regards me as a relative!real!He invited me to drink coffee and cold meat dishes after coffee, and after drinking, there was a table with all kinds of wine. There was a sturgeon that was very large, and there were lobster roes from one end of the table to the other.The pomp of a big restaurant!

I went into the hall and interrupted Nasychkin.This happened to be the day when Moscow received the first telegram that the Skopin Bank was bankrupt. [Note: This bank collapsed in the early 1880s, which caused a sensation in the Russian text editor's note] I am enjoying family fun with my children!After greeting me, Nasichkin said to me, and then turned to the children and continued to preach in a boastful tone: the tablemates are all dignitaries, there are high-ranking officials, there are religious people, monks and priests , priest, every time I finish a small cup, I go up to them and beg them to bless me. I am also full of medals, and I am more airy than a general. We eat that sturgeon. The servant brings another one and we eat it all. Then I drank sturgeon soup and ate pheasant

If I were you, I would make Sturgeon burp and have a stomachache, but you would boast endlessly. I said, so Lykov caused you to lose a lot of money for nothing, right? Why lose in vain? What is why?You know that bank has closed down! joke!It's always the same thing. Someone has scare me with that before. Then you don't know?my old sir!Sherapion.Yegolych!To know this and this.See for yourself! I reached into my pocket and took out a newspaper.Nasychkin put on his spectacles, smiled disbelievingly, and began to read the newspaper.The more he looked, the paler and elongated his face became.

It went out of business!he cried, trembling all over, poor man! Grisha blushed, read the newspaper, and turned pale. He reached for his hat with trembling hands, and his fiancée swayed. Gentlemen!Could it be that you didn't know the news until now?You know, all Moscow is talking about it.Gentlemen!Be quiet! An hour later, I stood alone in front of the captain, and comforted him, saying, "Forget it, Serapion.Yegolych!What does it matter?The money is gone, but the children are still there. It's true that money is a possession and the kids are right when they say it. However, whoop!I met Grisha a week later.

Brother, go to your uncle's house!I said to him, why don't you go to his house?You have completely left the old man behind! Tell him to go to hell!I don't care for him, old devil!fool!He can't find another bank to deposit money! You should still go.You know he is your uncle! he?Ha ha!Are you kidding me?How did you know he was my uncle?He is my stepmother's cousin!Relatives who can't be hit with one shot!The bull's head is wrong with the horse's mouth! Well, you should at least send your betrothed to him! yes!You must have the devil on your side to bring out that newspaper before our wedding!You can't wait until we get married before announcing your news!Now she has turned her face away and ignored me.You know, she opened her mouth wide and waited for my uncle's big white bread!This stupid bitch now she's disappointed

In this way, it is not in my heart to spoil the most enviable triad of the tightest triads!
