I was a god in the 18th century
Chapter 131 Owen is being targeted
Before leaving, everyone tried their best to ask the two Caroline sisters about their purpose of coming.
It was said that the old Mrs. Irving was seriously ill and knew that her time was running out, so she desperately wanted to return to the place where she had lived for decades.
She wanted to see the mountains and rivers here again, and hoped to be buried with old Mr. Owen after her death.
The eldest daughter, Barbara, and the youngest daughter, Caroline, accompanied their mother and traveled day and night together to fulfill their mother's last wish.
In addition, there is another meaning in the words of Barbara and his wife, that is, they want to find a good home for their little sister as soon as possible so that their mother can leave in peace.
Isn't that what Sima Zhao wanted to do when he went to Fucui Villa to find his husband?
Not to mention the guests who have seen too many such things, even Xia Qingdai, a modern soul with no love experience at all, understands it.
Sure enough, just as she guessed, her cousin had her mind set on her cousin. She was really speechless.
Xia Qingdai couldn't bear to see such an unethical thing happen!
After sending a carriage to take Jane's family back, Xia Qingdai turned around and walked into the castle and said to the housekeeper Lim, "Where is the sick old lady? I'm going to see her."
"Miss, it's late at night, so you'd better not go and see her. I'm afraid she might be sick for you." Lim said with a look of disgust, "The smell is not good."
Xia Qingdai didn't care very much. Her brother would come back with a strange smell from time to time. She couldn't stand the smell, so she insisted: "It's okay, you lead the way."
Seeing Xia Qingdai like this, Lim didn't dare to stop her anymore. After all, as servants of the castle, everyone sees and remembers the preference of the gods for Miss Xia!
"Old Mrs. Irving has difficulty with her legs and feet, so she was placed in the guest room on the first floor. I will take you there."
The castle is very big and has many rooms. If the servants don't lead the way, Xia Qingdai will really have to look for it for a while.
Lim was very unwelcome to the return of his former employer's wife.
Because I have served her before, I know how stingy she is. Being under her hands is not as comfortable as being under the hands of Mr. Owen and Miss Xia.
Although after Owen and Xia Qingdai teamed up to come up with a servant assessment, it became difficult to be lazy. But at the same time, wages and benefits have improved.
Taking into account performance bonuses, Lim's annual salary is estimated to be more than 20 pounds a year!
The servants in the London Palace may not be treated as she is!
You must know that servants are provided with food and accommodation, and the wages they receive are pure income.
And when she was under old Mrs. Owen, she could only get five pounds a year!
Therefore, she was very resistant to the return of old Mrs. Owen. When she sent the little maid to tidy the guest room for her, she kept mumbling something that would make people listen.
Maids often use this tactic to express their dissatisfaction in front of their masters. After all, educated upper-class people should not eavesdrop on lower-class people talking to themselves.
This strange and angry outburst really made old Mrs. Irving very angry.
It's just that her energy is low now, and after more than half a year of living under someone else's roof, she has learned to be patient, so she doesn't yell at the servants.
When Xia Qingdai knocked on the door and walked into the guest room, she found that there was a candle lit inside. There were clearly three candles on the candlestick, so she knew that the servant did not respect her old boss that much.
This is really a fallen phoenix worse than a chicken.
Xia Qingdai had no sympathy for old Mr. Owen's widow and daughters.
She has never met each other before, but she and Owen have been getting along day and night for almost half a year. As her personal trainer, the latter naturally deserves more attention from her.
She and Owen are comrades on the same line, his interests are her interests, and she regards this castle as her own!
Old Mrs. Owen and her daughter were complete intruders to Xia Qingdai. She did not welcome the addition of an additional mistress in the castle. That's why now that she heard that the other party was sick, she would visit him as a master and verify how well she had learned the medical skills during this period.
Because she had a unique advantage in diagnosing pulses, Mr. Liang taught her very quickly.
Learning Chinese medicine after understanding all the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. In addition, Xia Qingdai's memory has improved, so it will naturally be easier to learn.
Mr. Liang was extremely satisfied with her new disciple.
The person she is now is no longer the person she was before the winter vacation.
In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, she can already be considered an entry-level practitioner. This is the advantage of cheating.
Seeing such an exotic girl with dark eyes and black hair walking in, old Mrs. Owen and her daughter looked puzzled: "Lim, who is she?"
Lim raised her head slightly and said proudly: "She is my husband's cousin. You can call her Miss Xia. My cousin also has a villa on the other side of the lake."
"Isn't the other side of the lake Mr. Richard's territory?" Caroline was even more confused. "Is Miss Xia a member of Mr. Richard's family?"
Then why is it said to be Owen's cousin?
"The next door used to belong to Richard, but it has been bought by our cousin a long time ago. It has been renamed Wanghe Villa, and a castle is being built there!" Lim didn't even use the honorific title for the late Richard, the world of servants It's just so realistic.
"Cousin? Which family are you from? Is she the daughter of lawyer Henry?"
"Of course she is not from the poor Henry family. My cousin is also a descendant of the Owen family and was a princess in the East."
Xia Qingdai heard Lim talking more and more exaggeratedly, and the word princess came up. She immediately interrupted the conversation between the three of them and ordered Lim to get some oil lamps.
The kerosene she took down at the beginning could be used to light all the lamps in the castle day and night for two years, so she didn't worry about the candles at all.
"Okay, Miss Xia, I'll go get it right now. Can I have two big oil lamps?"
"Okay, as soon as possible."
"Yes, I will run!"
Lim didn't dare to nag in front of Xia Qingdai, because she had the power to give her low scores and negative reviews. This directly affects her performance bonus, which is equivalent to strangling her neck.
Lim left, leaving only old Mrs. Owen, Caroline and Xia Qingdai in the room.
Xia Qingdai introduced herself: "I am Xia Qingdai from the East, Owen's distant cousin. I heard that you are sick. I have studied Chinese medicine in the East. Do you mind if I give you a look?"
"Are you still a doctor?" Old Mrs. Irving squinted her eyes and carefully looked at this girl with somewhat unusual facial features through the dim candlelight.
Caroline also looked at Xia Qingdai with suspicion. She had never heard of a woman being able to see a doctor in her entire life!
"Yes."
Xia Qingdai replied briefly and concisely, pulled up a chair and sat beside old Mrs. Irving's bed, grabbed the sallow-faced old woman's arm and checked her pulse directly.
This time she did not use energy to probe into the other party's body, but silently recited the methods in the pulse diagnosis notes given to her by Mr. Liang to see how good her routine pulse diagnosis was.
Thank you book friends for the tip ^_^
