I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 113 Wandering around London

When Owen woke up, the sky was bright. At this time, Xia Qingdai had also been studying for a long time and was having dinner with her brother Xia Shanglu who had returned home from get off work.

After eating, she got up, washed the dishes, and prepared to enter the room.

Xia Shanglu asked strangely: "Why do you come into the room so early recently and don't you study at night?"

"Study, it's too cold, I'll go to bed and read."

"Didn't you always say that sleeping and studying places should be separated, but now you have changed your mind?"

"That's right! You can do the test papers on the desk, but you can still read and memorize on the bed! Good night, brother!"

"Okay, good night!" Xia Shanglu waved his hand, picked up a professional book on criminal investigation, and walked to his corridor study to read.

Compared to his sister who is lazy and lying on the bed reading, he still prefers to sit in front of the desk with a lamp on and sit upright and read, which can improve his concentration.

As soon as Xia Qingdai entered the room, she naturally stopped reading. She looked up at the newly painted map on the edge of the glass jar, put her hand on the roof of the apartment, smiled slightly, and traveled to the apartment.

When Xia Qingdai and Owen walked downstairs together, Mrs. Wickham said in surprise: "Oh, when did Miss Xia come back last night? I didn't hear any sound at all. Damn Matthew (concierge), He must have been lazy and sleeping.”

Xia Qingdai smiled and said nothing, giving no explanation.

The other party is just the landlord of the apartment and not a judge. There is no need to explain everything to the other party.

What's more, the more lies you tell, the more flaws you tell. It's better to remain silent and let the other person figure it out.

Owen ignored Mrs. Wickham's words and went to the backyard stable with Xia Qingdai, got on the SUV and left.

Today I’d better go to treat cousin William first.

When they arrived, Owen's uncle Henry, the lawyer, had not gone out yet and was waiting for them at home.

He heard his wife and children describe Xia Qingdai's treatment methods yesterday, which was completely beyond his understanding, so he wanted to see it with his own eyes today.

Xia Qingdai basically can't be said to have any medical skills. She just relies on modern drugs and has some tricks in taking the pulse and combing the meridians.

However, it should be noted that this is already a super powerful plug-in. After all, most of human diseases are caused by blocked meridians.

Step by step, William was sorted out his meridians, and then he was given medicine and disinfected.

Then Xia Qingdai separated out several portions of powdered medicine from oil paper bags, told Connie, who was William's nurse, how to use it, and let her give the medicine for the next two meals.

Xia Qingdai was not willing to come to London and spend the whole day hanging around Owen's eldest cousin.

She only had three skills, and she could only perform them once a day. The rest of the medicine feeding work was not difficult, so it was naturally outsourced to the patient's family members.

In addition to medication and disinfection, Xia Qingdai also gave a medical order that people with broken legs should eat more foods containing protein, vitamins, and calcium.

Among the vitamins and calcium tablets, Xia Qingdai bought the cheapest 100-piece tablets at a modern drugstore, which were also ground into powder and asked William's family members to feed him.

After Xia Qingdai's treatment last night, William had woken up from his coma and his high fever had subsided a lot.

Regardless of whether his family members understand Xia Qingdai's treatment methods or not, the curative effects are clearly visible.

Everyone was impressed by Xia Qingdai's medical skills, but they didn't know how much they should pay for treatment.

To be honest, according to the standard of the surgeon I hired before, my family can no longer afford that much money.

Lawyer Henry called his nephew to the study and asked about the consultation fee. The reason why he didn't ask "doctor" Xia Qingdai directly was of course because his nephew was easier to talk to. After all, Xia Qingdai is the distant cousin of her nephew Owen, and she is not from their family.

After Owen saw the room that his uncle's family was renting, he naturally understood their situation, so he directly told his uncle that they didn't need to worry about the medical expenses, he had already arranged it.

"How can this be a waste of money for you? Just tell me how much it is, and your uncle will ask you to borrow it."

"Uncle, money is something external to the body, so you don't have to worry about it. My eldest cousin and I are brothers, so let me do my best for him. As you know, I inherited Fucui Villa and I am not short of money now."

Because what Irving said was sincere and not hypocritical, lawyer Henry finally expressed his gratitude with red eyes.

In eighteenth-century Europe, it was very common for nobles to support their poor relatives.

Not to mention that Owen's uncle's family became poor because of misfortune, there are also many destitute people who cannot break through their thinking to work and rely on relatives to help them live!

Some nobles would rather keep relatives and friends who are like parasites than have them work in public and embarrass themselves.

After the diagnosis and treatment for Owen's eldest cousin, Xia Qingdai asked Owen to take her for a ride on the street.

It was a rare trip to London, and she wanted to have a good time shopping.

The first industrial revolution made Britain the world's factory, and London was naturally a mecca for workers.

Workers in water conservancy spinning mills, machinery factories, watch factories, etc. are different from the servants who work for the nobles and implement the 007 work system.

Workers have free nights and weekends to rest. This also gave rise to the birth of many taverns and cafes.

Regardless of the cold wind, Xia Qingdai rolled down half of the car window, admiring the rows of houses on both sides of the London road, and smiled at the whistles and screams coming towards their off-road vehicle.

"Owen, how much money do you have with you now? I think we should go to the department store to buy some things and have a drink in a cafe."

"If we don't buy expensive items like jewelry, it will be enough for us."

"Okay, then prepare to park your car now. I saw a big department store, let's go inside and take a look."

"it is good."

Owen parked the SUV in the open space in front of the department store, where there were several carriages parked.

There are many carriages on the streets of London. In addition to private carriages, there are also public carriages.

After entering the department store, Xia Qingdai started to pick things, and she picked a black umbrella first.

"Owen, you should buy a suitcase and an umbrella. I found that almost all the gentlemen on the streets of London look like this."

"You're right."

Owen and Xia Qingdai always said "yes, yes, yes" and "okay, okay" anyway, and then stepped forward to pay when it was time to pay, just like the boys who would go shopping with their girlfriends in later generations.

In addition to the suitcase and long-handled black umbrella, Xia Qingdai also picked out a top hat for herself and Owen.

Owen's top hat was blown away by the wind on the way, but Xia Qingdai had never worn a hat at all.

But when she arrived in London, she discovered that almost all men and women here wore hats. So do as the Romans do and get yourself a beautiful hat with lace and feathers.
