I was a god in the 18th century
Chapter 116 Auction of "Eurostar"
"Okay, unless the wound becomes inflamed again, you don't need to take medicine." Xia Qingdai handed William the anti-inflammatory powder in a glass jar, "I'll give you this medicine. I've told you the usage and dosage. You can keep it. .”
"Thank you, Miss Xia, thanks to your superb medical skills for saving my life. I really don't know how to express my gratitude to you." William's eyes were hot and his heart was filled with gratitude.
The time when Xia Qingdai took pulse every day was the happiest time of his day, and he even felt a throbbing feeling.
But that's actually just an illusion.
Xia Qingdai's pulse-taking technique is different from ordinary Chinese medicine. While taking someone's pulse, she is also sorting out the person's meridians. The patient will naturally feel very comfortable and relaxed. This is not a real heartbeat.
It's just that not all the patients she treats can be distinguished clearly, so in this short period of time, Xia Qingdai has "conquered" the hearts of many men and women.
"Hey, it's a pity that the supporting prosthetic limb industry is underdeveloped." Xia Qingdai looked at William's severed limb and shook her head secretly.
In modern times, there is a very mature prosthetic industry, and there are many people who are "standing" again. If you don't look closely at the other person's feet, it is difficult to even find that they are wearing prostheses.
But Britain in the eighteenth century obviously did not have this level of industry.
Of course, there are also prosthetic limbs. The existence of prosthetic limbs has long been proved in the tombs unearthed from ancient and modern times at home and abroad. It’s just that ancient prosthetics don’t have the real-life effect of modern tailor-made ones.
However, for William, who had saved his life, the current treatment effect has exceeded expectations.
Lawyer Henry and his family now completely treat Xia Qingdai as their guests. It is difficult to treat Xia Qingdai to a feast, but there is no problem in entertaining a few loving breakfasts with sincerity (because Xia Qingdai comes early every day for treatment, and after treatment, It happens to be breakfast time for British people).
Xia Qingdai's suggestion to their family was to move. With Henry's lawyer's annual income and no large medical expenses, it would be no problem to rent a more decent house.
Buildings with closed windows are really damp and dark, which is very detrimental to physical and mental health.
Henry's family had actually just moved away due to rent issues, but they now took Xia Qingdai's words seriously and took them very seriously.
They all felt that Xia Qingdai was right and was already looking for a new place and planning to move again.
Living in a place without sunshine is easy to get sick, and the cost of medical treatment is much higher than the rent.
Declining Mrs. Henry's invitation to chat, Xia Qingdai took Owen and the medicine box downstairs, and met Mrs. Jones with a smile on her face halfway.
Owen said: "Sorry, Mrs. Jones, I don't have time to see others today. We have something to do."
After hearing this, Mrs. Jones stepped out of the corridor and said with a smile: "Of course, of course, how can those lowly patients delay Miss Xia's business."
Xia Qingdai curled her lips slightly and said nothing.
Today there is an auction closely related to Xia Qingdai, that is, her artificial moissanite diamond pretending to be a diamond is going to be auctioned, weighing a full 45.52 carats!
If in modern times, a diamond of this size could be auctioned for more than one billion soft girl coins - of course it would have to be a real diamond, artificial diamonds would be useless.
In eighteenth-century England, she didn't know how much money she could fetch for a photo, and Xia Qingdai wasn't very confident either.
The auction took place in the evening, and there was a noble ball before it started. The organizer was the owner of the auction house, Earl Charlton.
When Xia Qingdai appeared in the ballroom with Owen, it attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone has already inquired about Owen, knowing that he is a country gentleman who owns a farm in the countryside, and may also have some treasures acquired overseas. Although in terms of annual income, Owen is only a small landowner with a middle income.
But he has a mysterious treasure! The 2000 pounds is just visible income. In fact, who knows how many good things he has in hand.
The diamond to be auctioned this time is one of his mysterious treasures, so there are many ladies who have a crush on him.
When Owen was running for the auction of the diamond, he did not reveal that it belonged to his cousin Xia Qingdai. That was because the household registration status he had assigned to Xia Qingdai could not withstand scrutiny.
If someone with money and power takes advantage of him too much, he will easily fall off his horse, so Owen simply uses himself as a cover to focus everyone's attention on himself.
Owen's birth can withstand careful scrutiny by others, and his ancestors can be clearly traced from generation to generation. In the vanity fair of London, he has no one to fear.
Xia Qingdai has no objection to this arrangement. Anyway, what’s hers is hers, and what’s Owen’s is still hers!
At the dance, Xia Qingdai danced twice, one with Owen, and one with the owner of the dance, Earl Charlton.
This earl is said to be about thirty years old, but his face looks younger than his age. There is nothing wrong with his outfit. Although his facial features are not very delicate, they give people a very handsome atmosphere.
His wife also gave people the same impression as him. She was not a great beauty, but she was full of the charming charm and style of a mature woman.
This pair is a couple who began to show kindness to Xia Qingdai and Owen as soon as they arrived in London.
In this auction, the proportion drawn was also very reasonable, and some profits were even given away.
Naturally, Owen and Xia Qingdai would not have guessed that the other party was so friendly just because the Lotus Building he saw that snowy night was too mysterious, which convinced him that one of Owen and Xia Qingdai must be special.
Irving's iconic car in London is also one of the proofs.
There are only advantages and no disadvantages in being kind to people with such mysterious powers.
After the dance, there was a barbecue party, where everyone ate and auctioned off treasures.
Xia Qingdai’s moissanite finally fetched 5.6 pounds.
The person who took away the "European Star" was Earl Robert Grosvenor. This guy's family is also a top noble in modern times, and he also obtained the hereditary dukeship that is generally only available to descendants of the royal family.
The Grosvenor family was born in 1677, and the explosion of wealth began with marrying the daughter of a large landowner. The wife's wealth was merged into the family's wealth, and the powerful alliance eventually created the richest family in Britain for generations to come.
After Xia Qingdai lamented the long-lasting prosperity of the old British aristocracy, she expressed a little disappointment at the result of the auction.
Such a big diamond, only 5.6 pounds! Much less than she thought!
But Irving was very happy with the result, and even revealed that the price exceeded his expectations.
Xia Qingdai said she didn't understand. When she returned to modern times, she took out her mobile phone and looked up information.
Finally, I came to the conclusion – I didn’t suffer a loss, oh no, I made a lot of money!
At this time, the average annual income of all classes of British society was about 30 pounds. Owen's annual income from the property of Fukuoka Villa alone was 2000 pounds, which was 66.6 times the average income.
Converted to modern times using this method, it is approximately an annual income of 200 million pounds.
By analogy, that is to say, converted to modern times, 5.6 pounds is equivalent to approximately 5600 million pounds, which is not a lot at all!
