I was a god in the 18th century

When Xia Qingdai walked downstairs, she caught up with a group of people having breakfast.

Today's breakfast is also specially made early for the three guests who are about to travel far.

Normally at this time, Xia Qingdai was still sleeping in her room (actually studying at night), but today she got up so early, James was flattered.

Xia Qingdai had some breakfast with everyone, and then sent Barbara, his wife, and James to their respective carriages.

Now that Fortress Villa is wealthy, the carriages and horses are all in full condition, and the number of grooms has increased from one to three. Sending two out to see off guests is a trivial matter, one of them is even a four-wheeled four-seat carriage (equivalent to a Rolls-Royce)!
In fact, Barbara and his wife were most fond of Owen's cool off-road vehicle. It was said to be a high-tech product, and it was much more fashionable and stable than that powerful steam car!
The first time she saw Owen driving this cool iron car into town, Barbara's husband's eyes were glued to the car.

He was even lucky enough to learn to drive for a while, which was enough for him to brag about when he returned home.

But it's useless how much they like the off-road vehicle, because Owen can't be their driver. Besides Owen, the only guest here who can drive this off-road vehicle well is guest Martin.

Oh, no, there is another person, cousin Xia Qingdai, but Barbara and his wife dare not expect this person to send them.

Barbara could feel that Xia Qingdai's attitude towards them was very cold and vaguely repulsive, as if she was the real mistress of this castle.

In the first few days, Barbara didn't like Xia Qingdai, and she often spoke to her with guns and sticks. She didn't have any respect for her because she was her mother's doctor.

The expensive ten-pound package of medicine was the source of her resentment. After her mother's death, her mother's property was divided equally between the four sisters. Every time she spent more, she would inherit less in the future.

But after learning that Wanghe Villa, which is building a castle next door, is Xia Qingdai's territory, the divine bridge that appeared out of thin air overnight was built for her by the gods in the sky, and she may still have tens of thousands of pounds - maybe When she received more inheritance, Barbara no longer dared to break up with Xia Qingdai.

Even if you can't be friends with a rich lady who is favored by God, you can't offend anyone. This is Barbara's code of conduct.

So in order not to make the relationship too bad, Barbara simply left her husband early. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I'll be annoying.

This time, the couple went home without bringing their mother and younger sister with them. In name, it was because their mother had just recovered from a serious illness and was not suitable for traveling long distances. She needed to stay at Fucui Villa for a while to recuperate. In fact, of course, it was to get rid of this burden. .

After all, Barbara's mother was used to living a lavish life when she was the hostess of Fukuoka Villa, but unlike her father, she was not able to have plowed fields, orchards, farms, and woods to support her mother!

Her husband is just a small landowner with an annual income of 500 pounds, and he really cannot afford the expenses of his mother as a large landowner.

Since his cousin Owen inherited their family's villa, he should take good care of his mother, as people always do. Therefore, Barbara felt no guilt at all for abandoning her mother.

Her mother, Mrs. Owen Sr., also preferred to stay at Fortress. I was squeezed into a small villa with my eldest daughter, and it was really hard to move around. There was not even a tea room where I could have a comfortable afternoon tea.

But Fucui Villa is different. Not to mention the master’s activity area, even the servants’ lounge is quite big!
What's more, there is food and water given by God every day. Maybe eating it can prolong life, which is more effective than those alchemists' elixirs!

Although his nephew Owen was very cold, he at least had the basic demeanor of a gentleman and was polite to them without any embarrassment.

Since old Mrs. Irving does not have the money to rent a comfortable manor for the time being, it would not be a bad idea to stay at Fortress for the time being, and then rent a comfortable manor when she has money in the future. And she feels optimistically that she will always be rich next year or the year after.

Although her youngest daughter Caroline often poured cold water on her, thinking that it would be difficult for them to return to the life of earning two thousand pounds a year, the old Mrs. Irving always believed that this day would be restored.

The most ideal situation is of course to bring the daughter and nephew together. If the youngest daughter becomes the new mistress of Fucui Villa, then there will no longer be any problem for her to stay here for her retirement.

It's a pity that Owen didn't care at all about the old Mrs. Owen's intentional matchmaking, and completely turned a blind eye to his cousin Caroline.

Even for rural women who can relate to each other again, it is difficult to forcefully connect these two people.

For Xia Qingdai and Owen, the former regarded the old Mrs. Owen as a training target, and the latter didn't care as long as Xia Qingdai didn't express any objection. Anyway, the food to support people comes from heaven.

Xia Qingdai has already ordered people to go to the silversmith shop in the town to get a set of silver acupuncture needles, and she will be practicing acupuncture on old Mrs. Irving. Presumably in order to live a long life, the other party will definitely cooperate.

Now she is checking the pulse, massaging and cupping old Mrs. Irving, and she enjoys it very much. She completely obeys the words of Xia Qingdai, the miracle doctor who brought her back from hell. She is a very cooperative patient.

The pampered old Mrs. Irving, who has never worked, has an inconspicuous ailment, and her physical fitness is similar to that of a modern sub-healthy person who lacks exercise. She is more suitable to be a case than other servants in the castle.

Because they work all day long and are young, the servants in the castle are either teenagers or young adults (maids usually resign when they get married, and male servants are basically new recruits), and they all eat well, sleep soundly, and are in good health. , there is really no place to start.

It is precisely because Xia Qingdai and Owen agreed to the temporary residence of mother and daughter that everyone can be in harmony.

After seeing off James, Barbara and others, Xia Qingdai took one-on-three private lessons with Owen, Martin, and Gauss as usual. After the main lesson, she took a piano lesson with Connie.

Although this tutor's piano skills were not as good as Owen's, she taught carefully and spoke nicely, so Xia Qingdai could just relax her mind.

Connie and Caroline have now become good friends who talk about everything. The two of them spend the most time in the castle, having enough time to leisurely walk, chat, and get to know each other.

Both of them wanted to please Xia Qingdai but felt unable to do so.

Just because Xia Qingdai likes to stay in her living room or bedroom reading most of the time (actually she goes back to modern school to study) and doesn't like to be disturbed, so they have nothing to do.

Xia Qingdai didn't like to hang out with eighteenth-century girls who thought about how to get married and raise children all day long. During afternoon tea, when she had free time, she sent a carriage to pick up Jane Austen and drink with her.

The two of them sat in the Ningxiang Pavilion and enjoyed the quiet afternoon, which was very pleasant.

She has no regrets about being able to live her senior year of high school like Xia Qingdai did. Living with only three hours of sleep a day is great!
