I was a god in the 18th century
Chapter 109 Moissanite
Although Irving did not have any real estate in London, before setting off from the town of Ifhra, his neighbor Mr. Marken told him everything he knew about London, including the best place for a squire to stay in the city.
This is an apartment located on Bond Street, where fashionable shops are gathered. The landlord is Wickham, the butler of the Earl of Charlton, and his wife and children usually live here.
When Owen parked his SUV in front of the apartment, he received a warm welcome.
The concierge and maid didn't wait for them to get out of the car and knock on the door before opening the door to greet them.
Although the two of them had never seen an electric off-road vehicle, they had seen a steam vehicle. The noise, steam, and bulky and crude appearance could not be compared with the domineering and brightly painted car in front of them.
Even the four-horse carriage can hardly be said to be as gorgeous as the one in front of me!
They are the ones who are the most flattering people. When someone comes in such a luxurious car, they will naturally greet them with smiles.
The two of them concluded that the person in the car must be a high-class person. Receiving such a guest would make their apartment shine. If you host other noble people in the future, you will still have bragging rights.
Owen parked the car in an open space in front of the door and asked Xia Qingdai to sit in the car. He got out of the car and handed the letter of introduction to the maid.
The maid looked at Owen's smooth and shiny blue satin fox fur cloak and the sword with a tassel hanging on his waist. She knew at a glance that he was worth a lot.
The only strange thing is that there is no driver in the car, but the letter is delivered by the noble man himself.
However, this little bit of difference did not affect the maid's favorable impression of him. She gave a sweet smile, held the letter and rushed to the hostess's room.
After reading Mr. Marken's letter of introduction, the hostess, Mrs. Wickham, enthusiastically arranged for Owen and Xia Qingdai to live on the third floor, and each chose a large bedroom.
A mother and daughter live here on the fifth floor. The husband who passed away was a pastor and lived here on rent with the inheritance. Living on the interest from the inheritance and going out to work would never be something as disgraceful as doing it.
On the fourth floor lived a young gentleman who hung out in theaters, restaurants and racetracks all year round. His goal in life was to have fun. There were endless dances, tables of cards, banquets, and operas.
Apart from playing, the more serious thing is probably falling in love. After finding a suitable wife in the social circle, buy a house of your own and get married.
Soon after Owen moved in, the neighbors on the fourth and fifth floors got news about him.
The only regret is that Owen does not have a groom or other servants. Everyone cannot find out all the news about him through the groom and others, and everything about him is just speculation.
Originally, when nobles went out, their identities were revealed from the grooms and servants. But since Owen didn't take them with him now, and he was very tight-lipped, others naturally couldn't figure out his details.
As soon as Owen and Xia Qingdai entered the living room, the latter returned to modern times. He first took out the battery pack that had been charged for almost a night and replaced the battery of the off-road vehicle parked in front of the stable in the backyard.
Then she dug out the medicine box and took out the anti-inflammatory and analgesic ibuprofen, cephalosporin capsules, amoxicillin and other medicines she had bought in the drugstore before leaving the castle, as well as iodophor cotton swabs.
She took some of these things, dismantled those that needed to be dismantled, crushed those that needed to be crushed, wrapped them in cut oil paper, put them all in a small toy jewelry box, and then went down to the newly painted third-floor window of the building. One plug.
What Xia Qingdai is most satisfied with about this apartment is that the windows are not sealed. It can be seen that this is a place that only accepts distinguished guests, and there is no fussing over the window tax.
After preparing the medicine, Xia Qingdai dug out another loose moissanite diamond.
This is a high-quality artificial diamond produced in Zhongyuan. In modern times, professionals must use professional instruments to distinguish it from natural diamonds.
Jewelry merchants like Asan in Southeast Asia often mix artificial diamonds imported from China with natural diamonds and sell them to the market, causing people in the jewelry industry to suffer miserably.
Artificial diamonds are difficult to identify in modern times. In England in the 18th century, Xia Qingdai was confident that no craftsman could identify them. Xia Qingdai kept this for emergencies. Compared to three mirrors, which cost ten yuan, the cost was actually not small. It cost her seven to eight hundred yuan.
But taking it to the eighteenth century could bring her more money, and one would make her wealthy and free in London.
During the Age of Discovery, Britain developed the country by plundering resources from colonies around the world and accumulating primitive capital. Decades later, in the British Museum, I don’t know how many treasures were stolen from China!
So now Xia Qingdai uses artificial diamonds to pluck the wool of British nobles without any psychological burden at all.
She had restrained herself by not directly destroying the British Museum.
After all, it was something that hadn't happened in this time and space yet, and now she couldn't find anyone even if she wanted to.
Xia Qingdai, who returned to the eighteenth-century room, opened her palms and saw that the originally small and inconspicuous Mozambique diamond was now as big as the Heart of the Ocean in Ruth's hand!
Tsk tsk tsk! It makes my heart beat just looking at it!
In fact, Xia Qingdai could also buy modern natural diamonds from the 18th century, but diamonds of the same size cost thousands more than Mozambique diamonds. Why should she spend more money!
If Britain hadn't started the industrial revolution, there were many skilled craftsmen, and there was no way to fool around with crystals and glass. She would have just bought Taobao goods for a few dollars a handful.
After admiring the "diamond", Xia Qingdai happily put it away, and then looked at the "medicine kit" that was as big as a suitcase.
In the 18th century, how to give modern medicines was a problem. Xia Qingdai planned to buy a scale to weigh them and estimate the dosage.
Anyway, compared to losing his life, the side effects of the drug are nothing.
While he was looking through his medicine box, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
It was Owen who opened the door.
"Here is roast chicken with bread and milk. Would you like some?"
"Okay, take some." Xia Qingdai put away the medicine box, "My medicine is ready. When we finish eating, we can set off to treat your cousin."
"Thank you for your trouble." Owen put down his plate and bowed to Xia Qingdai.
"You're welcome." Xia Qingdai waved her hand, "Let's eat together first."
"it is good."
After the meal, the maid from the apartment came over to clear away the dishes. Xia Qingdai took out the Mozambique diamond and showed it to Owen: "Find a reliable auction house and help me cash in this diamond."
Even though he was as calm as Owen, he couldn't help but his pupils were shocked when he saw such a large and bright diamond.
The goddess can really shock him anytime and anywhere!
