I was a god in the 18th century
Chapter 102 The cunning servant
Xia Qingdai did not return to Owen's side, but lay on the clouds, watching with relish as Owen directed the villain to roll the potatoes on the second floor downstairs.
Well, her little guy is so smart!
She thought she needed her help to get it down, but she didn't expect Owen to choose to roll the potato down decisively.
There were three cooked potatoes in total, still steaming, and the skins fell off at the touch.
Owen took out his sword, cut the potatoes and divided them among everyone. Some people suggested that they didn't want potatoes, but just wanted a sip of hot water. Owen agreed, since there was half a tank of hot water anyway.
After getting the message, there were so many people queuing up to get hot water and potatoes that it almost caused a rush.
But perhaps because he had been in the army and served as an officer, Irving was quite good at managing people. He used his long sword and riding crop to manage the chaotic crowd in an orderly manner, and formed a decent queue. .
The goose-feather heavy snow continued to fall, but no one flinched, and they lined up in a long line wrapped in cloaks.
It is the tacit understanding of everyone not to hold an umbrella on snowy days.
The aristocratic men who had previously disdained big pot noodles could not resist hot water.
Hearing that hot water was provided at Lotus House, many people sent carriage drivers with water bags to fill them up.
Because there were so many people in need of hot water, Xia Qingdai even added hot water twice.
In the dark night, no one could see the hot water flowing from the sky. They only knew that there was an endless supply of hot water in this building.
Everyone who received potatoes and hot water shouted "I wish you good health" and "Long live the goddess". But most of their blessings are only half-hearted, and no power of faith overflows.
Xia Qingdai didn't care, it was just three potatoes, two packs of instant noodles, and a few cups of hot water. She didn't expect 100% feedback, but a few rays of faith would be considered earned.
The aloof earl finally couldn't bear the temptation of hot water and sent his valet Martin over to get the water.
Martin did not go to the queue first, but used his twinkling eyes to identify Andrew's identity very cleverly, then stepped forward and quietly handed him a handful of guineas, and asked him about the origin of the owner of Lotus House.
No servant in this world is very strict with his mouth. It is normal to deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors, and it is fun to gossip about the master's family. From squires to nobles, they all face such servants.
Seeing the golden and rich benefits in his hands through the light, there is nothing Andrew can't say! He is willing to do even things with no bottom line than this.
It has only been a few months since Mr. Owen became his new master. Servants are different from slaves who sell themselves. There are many little ones.
He told Martin everything he understood about Irving vividly.
He also swore that his master had definitely dug up treasures before inheriting Fucui Villa, and he was so rich that he didn't even look like a younger son! And he also has the power to summon the gods. This carriage and hot water were given to him by the gods.
At first, Martin pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but then when he heard something about a patron saint or a divine object, he suddenly showed the face of an old man on the subway looking at his cell phone.
What a mess! What a fool this countryman is! He had wasted three guineas!
Xia Qingdai didn't notice the two servants communicating closely in the dark corner at first. Later, she heard something about the "Guardian Saint" and turned her attention away from the little people in line.
She concentrated for a moment and realized that Andrew was betraying Owen without hesitation.
Although most of what he said was exaggerated and not consistent with reality, Xia Qingdai was still unhappy. Andrew is currently considered a villain in her captivity, but as long as these villains leave the castle and leave Owen's side, they have nothing to do with her. She couldn't position anyone else the way she could position Owen.
In comparison, of course she counted Owen as belonging to her own country, and the others as belonging to another country.
At this time, someone betrayed Owen, and she was just as angry as she was betraying herself.
She didn't bother to listen to the usual grumblings of the servants. But the nature of betraying one's master is different from whining.
Xia Qingdai decided to punish this cheating groom, and immediately stretched out her fingers, pinched Andrew's shoulders and lifted them up.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
Andrew howled like a killing pig!
He could feel two strong forces squeezing his body, squeezing in the middle, and he even thought he heard the sound of his ribs being crushed (this was what he imagined).
In the darkness, he couldn't see anything. He only knew that his feet had left the ground and were suspended in mid-air.
Martin, who just now thought that this stupid country pagan was talking about running trains, raised his head and stared at the struggling Andrew with a look of astonishment on his face.
Andrew was so frightened that he couldn't help urinating. The dripping urine flowed down his trousers, onto his boots, and then dripped into the snow.
Fortunately, Xia Qingdai pinched his shoulders and lifted him up. If she held it in her hand, it would probably disgust her to death.
After Andrew howled miserably, he desperately begged for mercy: "God, I was wrong... please spare me... spare my life... I will never dare again..."
Martin's knees felt weak, and he knelt down with a pop. He made signs of the cross repeatedly: "Please God forgive this villain's sins. I have no intention of offending..."
After saying a lot of words begging for forgiveness, Martin suddenly shouted with great happiness: "I promise that I will never tell anyone what happened tonight, and I will not mention a word about Mr. Owen to the earl! I swear!"
Xia Qingdai loosened her fingers, and Andrew fell from the air with a "pop", and his butt almost broke into several pieces.
Fortunately, Xia Qingdai did not lift him very high, not even higher than the first floor of the Lotus Building, so this time it only scared the shit out of Andrew, but he did not suffer any actual physical harm.
After punishing Andrew, she puffed up her mouth again and blew a fierce breath on Martin, causing him to fall over.
Martin was so frightened that he quickly got up and ran away, not even asking for the hot water the master ordered.
When he returned to the earl, he forgot his promise and swore to the earl that the strange carriage building in front was actually a ghost building!
The potatoes grew larger than people, and the bowls filled with hot water were as big as water tanks. There are also evil spirits that are invisible and intangible. They breathe hot wind from their mouths and can make people fly up in the air and fall to death. If they are beaten to death, they will not dare to go there again!
He swore that everything he said was true, and he spent a full five guineas to get the information about the Ghost House from the other party's servant!
This was a huge expense, but he was willing to do it for the Earl.
The count smiled imperceptibly and rewarded him with four guineas. He knew very well the little thoughts of his valet.
Then the count thoughtfully opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the bustling Lotus Tower fifty meters ahead, without forcing Martin to go get hot water.
