I was a god in the 18th century

Owen drove the electric off-road vehicle into Cheapside Street with familiarity. This is a commercial street and one of the busiest streets in London.

Xia Qingdai saw that Owen was still driving calmly on the busy street without any panic, and she was immediately reassured by his driving skills. With a change of thought, she appeared in his passenger compartment.

Owen was used to facing the sudden appearance of the girl, so he only focused on driving.

For the first time, Xia Qingdai entered the inside of her toy car with the vision of a villain. She was immediately curious and turned her head to look around.

She has seen the interior of the car countless times. After all, both doors of this toy off-road vehicle can be opened, and the entire rear car shell can be removed to load things, so she is very familiar with the interior of the car.

But in the past, I was looking at it from the perspective of a toy, but today I am sitting in the car as a passenger, which feels very different.

After looking at the interior of the car, Xia Qingdai came to the conclusion that the plastic seat cushions underneath were too uncomfortable and too cold. They should be modified and added with a little sponge and leather to make them much more comfortable.

Owen drove the Land Rover cross-country tram across the streets. Xia Qingdai looked out through the car window, and she could see much more clearly than lying down above.

When you look down, you can only see the overall layout, but now looking out from the car, you can see the details of various shops on the roadside.

There are many jewelry stores, pawn shops and silk and satin shops here, as well as all kinds of people, full of human atmosphere.

As the most handsome car on the street, Land Rover naturally receives the most attention and gifts.

Fortunately, the audience at the front of the off-road vehicle does not overlap with the audience at the back, otherwise people would be surprised that there is an extra passenger in the vehicle while the vehicle is running.

Owen's uncle's family rented an apartment at 588 Cheapside Street. After driving into the street, the car drove for ten minutes before reaching the entrance of the alley in front of the apartment.

Owen stepped on the brakes, turned off the car switch on the steering wheel, turned his head and said to Xia Qingdai: "Cousin, my uncle's house has arrived. Are you interested in going in and taking a look? You may even see my unfortunate cousin."

Xia Qingdai nodded: "Of course, maybe I can help."

She will show up just to experience life in London immersively. Looking down from above, there is no sense of immersion.

And if it can save people, she is willing to give it a try.

"Then please."

Although this was Owen's first time driving a modern car, it did not affect his etiquette when getting out of the car at all, and his gentlemanly demeanor remained intact.

He first opened the car door and got out of the car, then went around to the other side, opened the door for Xia Qingdela, and stretched out his arm for her to help, as if he was helping her get out of the carriage.

This action was all carried out in full view of the public.

The off-road vehicle was so eye-catching and attracted so many people's attention that the two of them couldn't even keep a low profile.

What's more, the men are handsome and the women are elegant and refined. Add to that the green satin and white fox fur cloak on her body, and she looks like a nobleman who stepped down from the oil painting.

"They were supposed to be going to Buckingham Palace. How did they end up on this street?"

"Maybe they're here to buy jewelry."

"It's strange that such two nobles don't have any servants around them. I don't know if they have any land."

The onlookers were whispering and constantly guessing about the identities of the two people.

Owen asked Xia Qingdai in a low voice: "Doesn't it matter if the car is parked like this and no one is watching it?" Xia Qingdai said confidently: "It's okay, they can't drive."

The only drawback of this simulated toy remote control car in Lilliput is that it has no key and cannot lock the door.

However, based on the knowledge of everyone in the eighteenth century, Xia Qingdai was not afraid that someone could steal the car.

Since Xia Qingdai said this, Owen was no longer worried and led her into an alley that neither cars nor carriages could enter.

As soon as the two figures left, the melon-eaters who had been observing in the dark gathered around.

Such a novel and trendy off-road vehicle has a wild and domineering appearance. Who can not be curious!

Everyone has to be very restrained to resist touching randomly - it's not that they are highly qualified, but that poverty makes them restrain themselves, fearing that they won't be able to afford compensation if they damage something.

"It's so strange, why did this beautiful couple go into the alley? There are no nobles living there who can make their neighbors shine!" The middle-aged man who spoke was quite elegant. , it is obvious that he spent a lot of time dealing with nobles and learned a lot of words and sentences.

"It's really strange. Aren't they respectable people? Are they also businessmen? I heard that only businessmen ride steam cars made of iron."

"Steam cars are very noisy, steam comes out of the roof, and they smell very stinky. How does this car look like it? Look how beautiful it is, and how gorgeous the paint on it is!"

"It's indeed gorgeous. It's even more impressive than King George's golden carriage I saw last time. It definitely can't be a steam car that often explodes and rolls over."

The discussions of these people behind them did not affect the steps of Owen and Xia Qingdai.

After the two walked side by side for a while into the alley, they stopped in front of an apartment building.

Just from the outside, you can see that the apartment has several sealed windows. It seems that the landlord is a person who knows how to save costs.

Owen looked up and checked the house number, confirming that this was the new address left in his uncle's letter.

"This is it."

He immediately stepped forward, raised his hand and knocked on the door rhythmically.

The apartment's concierge was part-time employed by the landlord, Mrs. Sarah Jones, who lived on the first floor. When she heard the calm knock on the door, she knew that the person coming might have some identity.

So today she seemed extra patient, not at all angry about having her leisure time interrupted by a knock on the door.

Usually if someone knocks on the door, she will complain.

Opening the door, she saw a pair of beauties wearing blue satin and white fox fur outside the door. A big smile suddenly appeared on Mrs. Jones's face covered with chloasma.

"Oh, what do you want, two distinguished guests?"

Owen asked: "Does Mr. Herbert Henry and his family live here?"

Mrs. Jones frowned slightly when she heard the name: "Are you looking for them? Yes, this family originally lived in a third-floor suite with two windows, but now they have moved to the fifth floor! I'm worried about them next month Can you pay the rent?”

"Thank you." Owen heard the news he wanted to hear. He did not continue talking to the fat lady, smiled behind him, walked around her, led Xia Qingdai into the apartment, and went straight upstairs.

Mrs. Jones's curiosity was not satisfied, so she turned around and followed the two of them and asked: "Who are you from the unfortunate Henry family? Which street in London do you live in? You look like you are dressed like nobles, how do you know them?"

She asked a bunch of questions, her words were fast and urgent, and her pronunciation was not very standard, so Xia Qingdai naturally couldn't communicate with her, and Owen thought she was tacky and was unwilling to talk to her anymore.
