I was a god in the 18th century

January time flies by, and the cold winter with wind and snow is finally over.

Xia Qingdai and Owen can also live in the luxurious mansion on the Thames River.

The transfer procedures, tax payment and other matters were all handled by Irving's uncle Henry, the lawyer. You need to hire a lawyer anyway, so the money won't go to outsiders.

The furniture in this mansion is all ready-made, and Earl Grosvenor basically left it to Xia Qingdai.

Although the house was built more than 150 years ago, the Grosvenor family repairs and maintains it every year, and there are always good people renting here, so it looks good.

The years have left only thickness here, not dilapidation.

Xia Qingdai can definitely move in with her bags, unless she wants to change the decoration inside.

But she had no idea about this at all. She was very satisfied with the inside and outside of this mansion.

She only remodeled the bathroom inside and replaced some soft furnishings, such as curtains and carpets, but left the rest unchanged.

For such a large mansion, cleaning servants are naturally indispensable.

So this month, Owen interviewed and hired two servants to clean the house, a gardener to take care of the flowers in the front and backyard, and invited his uncle's family to come over and act as housekeepers.

It happened that Henry's family also needed to move, and the two parties hit it off.

Irving asked Xia Qingdai for every decision he made, and the latter just said: "Just do it as you see fit."

There are nearly a hundred rooms in this mansion. Xia Qingdai chose the suite with the best and most open view on the second floor, while Owen chose the suite next door.

Henry's family did not choose the guest room on the second floor, but lived in the butler's room downstairs, which was connected to the other servants' rooms.

Once the affairs in the mansion are settled, Owen and Xia Qingdai will have basically nothing to do in London.

Staying is nothing more than participating in the never-ending dance parties, tea parties one after another, and playing cards one after another.

For gentlemen and ladies of marriageable age in the upper class of the eighteenth century, this was daily life. But for Xia Qingdai, a senior in high school, it was obviously too much of a waste of time.

Time is of the essence. She has had enough shopping in London and has no intention of staying.

What's more, the study tasks in the second semester of her senior year are really heavy, and she doesn't have much free time at all.

That is to say, after there is true energy in the body, I sleep less and have a little more time, but it is not the same.

After all, most senior high school students go to bed at 11 o'clock, and only sleep for six hours after five o'clock. Xia Qingdai only sleeps three hours less than everyone else.

After two private lessons in Lilliput, time passed by.

In order to study, Xia Qingdai didn't even have time to take a good look at the racecourse, cockfighting ring, and gardens in London. She only saw the opera house once on her first night in London. She really couldn't squeeze in time to eat, drink, and have fun.

And Owen had no intention of choosing a wife in London, so naturally he didn't have much enthusiasm for socializing.

Rather than attending balls, or attending plays, cockfights, and card games that gentlemen were keen on, Owen preferred to ride his horse around London's emerging factories to see what industries could be invested in.

All the money left by Xia Qingdai from selling the second Mozambique diamond was given to Irving for safekeeping.

Whenever he had free time during this period, he would think about investing. Overseas trade in partnership with big businessman Bill requires additional investment. The establishment of tea, cotton and coffee plantations in the colonies also needs to be put on the agenda.

The other is to open supporting factories in China, such as cotton spinning factories using Jenny spinning machines, and his own favorite machinery factories.

However, Owen would not choose to open a factory near London. He preferred the open and free countryside to crowded towns.

What he planned was to move the mechanics and machines together to the countryside.

So he didn't have to say goodbye to his cousin for the last time. He had done all the things he needed to do and saw almost everything he needed to see, so he packed his bags and prepared to go back to the countryside.

The snow has melted and spring has arrived, which is a good time for hiking and hunting.

The three brothers and sisters had originally planned to stay at Fortress Villa for a while in March. If William hadn't suffered an accident, they would have been on their way by this time.

However, there were unforeseen circumstances. William, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was obviously unable to travel long distances, so he chose to stay in London with his parents.

James and Connie followed Xia Qingdai and Owen back to Fortress Villa.

Andrew, who had been worried about losing his job, could finally put his mind to it. Because not only did Owen have no intention of dismissing the coachman, he also bought a new horse in London!

On the way back, the old carriage was replaced by a new luxury carriage, driven by two horses, which was almost equivalent to driving a luxury car in later generations.

Sitting on the carriage were Connie and James, two biological siblings, with Owen following behind in his own SUV.

As for Xia Qingdai, she chose "space jumping" to avoid the bumpy journey back.

James and Connie just thought that Xia Qingdai didn't like to be crowded with them and wanted to rent another car to go home. Owen, who knew the truth, did not tell his cousin the truth, but remained silent.

In fact, James was originally riding an off-road vehicle, but the tragedy was that he actually got carsick! So I had no choice but to get out of the car in despair and follow my sister in the carriage.

As soon as the group arrived at Fortress, Connie was extremely excited.

She could only live a poor life in London, but as soon as she got off the carriage here, she was assigned a personal maid to serve her.

James, who had taken leave but did not go back to Cambridge University to attend classes, sharpened his sword after seeing the huge castle and the vast forest behind it. He felt that the trip was worthwhile and the leave was worth it!

In addition to the two guests that Irving brought back from London, four people including Brutner, who had been at the Villa before, were also waiting here.

Originally, when Irving and Xia Qingdai went to London together, Bruttner said goodbye to Irving, but Irving enthusiastically stayed.

This was mainly what Xia Qingdai meant. She didn't want to let Gauss go before the college entrance examination, even though in terms of teaching level, he was far inferior to Owen.

But he is the prince of mathematics and a physicist! You might as well stay here and be a mascot!

Anyway, raising a few more little people is a piece of cake for Xia Qingdai.

Owen caused a sensation when he showed up in the town of Ifhra in his SUV. Naturally, country people like to watch the excitement more than people in London.

Within an hour after Owen arrived home, the SUV was spread as fresh gossip from all over the country.

As soon as the big businessman Bill heard the news that Irving was back, he immediately came to visit.

He circled around the off-road vehicles and even suggested to Owen that they could open a factory to build off-road vehicles.

Owen pressed the question noncommittally. If he wanted to build this off-road vehicle given by the goddess, Britain's current technological level was far from adequate. Owen understood this clearly.

So Irving did not mention this, but first talked about his experiences and thoughts in London.
