I was a god in the 18th century

This shopping trip was very rewarding. In addition to Owen's suitcase, long-handled umbrella, and two top hats that they put directly on their heads, there were also many skirts, all of which were the most fashionable imperial skirts at the moment.

In the end, Owen had to remind Xia Qingdai with some embarrassment that if he continued to buy it, he might not have enough money with him, because the silk imperial dress in the ready-made clothing store was really expensive.

Skirts with complex craftsmanship are indeed not cheap in this era, and can be regarded as one of the dowries of women. After maids get married and have children, if their lives are in embarrassment, they will resell the high-end skirts they bought before marriage for money, and usually the value will not depreciate too much.

After Xia Qingdai was reminded, she realized that she was actually so good at buying things.

There may be no need to take money out of her pocket, she has no idea about money. Or maybe guineas and shillings, British currencies, were too unfamiliar to her, and spending them felt like swiping a credit card.

The most important thing is that for the money she spent, she could just grab some potatoes, lettuce and so on.

This is different from modern times, where she is relatively poor, but in Lilliput, she has no shortage of means to make money.

It’s rare to come to the city, and if you don’t buy enough, it feels like you’re at a loss.

Because there were so many things, it was difficult for Owen to carry them, so he hired a Lifu to help him pick things.

In London, if a respectable gentleman carries a lot of things by himself, he will definitely attract ridicule from the laborers waiting to work nearby.

Just as a person wearing silk never walks on his own. If there is no carriage, you have to ride in a sedan, otherwise you will be laughed at crazily by the bearers who are waiting for work.

Finally, Owen and Xia Qingdai, who had a cart full of harvest, drove to a high-end-looking coffee shop and asked for a private room.

Rather than saying that Xia Qingdai came to drink coffee, it would be better to say that she came to feel the atmosphere.

When traveling to London, of course you have to visit one of the many cafes that are popping up here.

In London in the 18th century, the most popular drinks were tea and coffee. From the princes and nobles to the traffickers and pawns, men and women, no one dislikes them.

It's just that the focus of preference is different. Some people like coffee, and some people prefer tea.

Owen's family drinks afternoon tea every day. Compared with tea, coffee is not necessary. You can eat without meat, live without tea, no matter how poor you are, you have to have a cup.

So like Xia Qingdai, he was sitting in the cafe now, more just to experience the atmosphere of a London cafe.

After one drink, the sky turned dark. It's not that night falls so quickly, but that dark clouds cover the sky.

London deserves to be known as the Fog City. There is a reason why every gentleman on the street carries an umbrella!

When the two of them were driving to their apartment in an off-road vehicle, icy rain fell in the middle of the road, so much so that the front glass of the car was scratched by the rain.

This electric off-road vehicle is a toy after all. Although it has realistic wipers, they are purely for decoration and cannot turn on automatically.

However, Xia Qingdai came up with a good idea. She tied a rope to the wiper, and then pulled the wiper manually through the gap in the window, which was barely effective.

But this requires opening two windows, and wind and rain will inevitably blow into the car.

Fortunately, I bought a hat to wear so that I wouldn't get a headache from the wind.

We braved the wind and rain all the way back to our apartment, but the rain stopped at that moment.

Xia Qingdai was speechless and said: "I knew I would have to wait a little longer and wait for this rain to pass. Don't rush back."

Owen shrugged and said, "Winds and rains are unpredictable."

While the two were talking, the clouds above their heads dispersed, and the setting sun emerged, painting a colorful rainbow in the sky. "Wow, rainbow!"

Xia Qingdai's complaints disappeared immediately, she quickly opened the car door, looked up at the rainbow, clasped her hands together and made a wish "to pass the exam in the metropolitan area".

Owen looked at Xia Qingdai strangely, "God" still wants to make a wish on the rainbow?

After watching the rainbow, Owen entered the house carrying a bag full of goods, and Mrs. Wickham quickly sent a servant to help.

Xia Qingdai was about to pick her up, but Owen stopped her and said that this kind of work shouldn't be done by ladies, so let him do it.

"Okay, I'll do it for you."

Xia Qingdai fully respected Owen's gentlemanly demeanor. After thanking him, she Shi Shiran went upstairs with a relaxed look.

After a while, Owen and the servants brought her paper bags containing clothes into the room.

Then Xia Qingdai closed the door, took the clothes bags to the window, and opened the window.

The next second, Xia Qingdai returned to modern times, lying next to the glass tank, stretching her hands to reach the clothes by the window of the apartment, and then moved them one by one to the room in Fucui Villa.

All inanimate dead objects can cause space bugs for Xia Qingdai.

She planned to take some photos of models in the castle, and bought these imperial dresses with the intention of selling them.

Although Irving is not the photographer, fortunately there is a time-lapse shooting function. As long as you secure your phone with a phone holder, taking photos alone is not a problem.

Xia Qingdai didn't plan to go to the corridor to take pictures, so as not to scare the servants. I took the photo in my own living room, where I had enough space and light.

While Xia Qingdai was busy taking model photos, Owen was waiting for his groom and carriage in his apartment in London.

That day Xia Qingdai took the refrigerator snow remover and removed the ice and snow for a long way.

At that time, many smart people unloaded a horse from the carriage, and when the ice and snow melted slightly and the road became less slippery, they went off alone.

The Earl of Charlton, who was trapped in the carriage all night, was one of them.

Like Owen, he later abandoned the carriage and the groom and set off alone. Therefore, the time to arrive in London was much earlier than Andrew, who was completely stuck on the road and drove the carriage slowly.

It's not surprising that Andrew knows where Irving will stay, because this is the address Irving decided on and told him before he went to London.

Later, when they separated, Owen emphasized it to Andrew again.

As a driver, you must have a good sense of direction. With the accurate address and his sharp tongue, Andrew quickly found out where the apartment was and drove the carriage to arrive before dark.

Andrew's arrival solved Irving's economic crisis. In the suitcase on the carriage, there was also a sum of activity money that Irving had stored away.

Owen never worried that if he left first, Andrew would drive away in his carriage with his salute.

As the saying goes, suspects don't need to be used, and suspects don't need to be used. Owen expected that the coachman would neither dare nor know how to do it.

The fact was as he judged. Andrew drove the carriage into the city alone and Owen did not lose anything.

Andrew followed the maid in the apartment, unloaded the horse from the carriage, and led it to the stable in the backyard. His eyes were immediately attracted to the off-road vehicle parked in the yard.
