I was a god in the 18th century
Chapter 149 Carved Dragon Statue
After buying the things, Xia Qingdai put down her phone and went back to the castle to wait for Owen to come back for today's private lesson.
It’s been almost three hours since she returned home from her night study in order to provide artificial rain for Lilliput, and she hasn’t had a single private lesson yet!
At this time, Gauss, who was reading a book in the Fortress of Forest Villa, suddenly looked up at Martin on the other side and said, "Mr. Martin, have you noticed that whenever Mr. Irving goes out for business, Miss Xia rarely shows up."
Martin's face changed when he heard this. What he and Gauss were thinking were obviously different. Love makes people blind. He couldn't see the flaws that Gauss saw. He only said: "Although these cousins have a good relationship, they are not the same." No intention of getting engaged.”
Gauss: "..."
At this moment, Xia Qingdai came down from upstairs, and Martin immediately stood up happily and said hello: "Miss Xia, your class is late today."
In the eighteenth-century town of Ifula, Xia Qingdai was the most beautiful girl in the town, and all the unmarried gentlemen liked her - don't get me wrong, she was not dazzled by her beauty. After all, she has an oriental appearance, and many people don't like this look.
But, she has money!
In this era, money is the most popular thing in the marriage and love market.
A girl who owns a manor in the country, a big mansion in London, and a horse-drawn carriage, no matter how tall or short she is, it will not affect her attractiveness!
Whenever she lets out a hint that she wants to get married, men will definitely flock to her. Therefore, it is not surprising that Xia Qingdai feels the courtesy of gentlemen all the time.
Xia Qingdai gave them a polite curtsey, and then used the customary Chinese greeting method to ask everyone if they had eaten.
It's almost 1 o'clock, so arrangements must have been made, and only the two cousins who have provided artificial rain for the town have not eaten yet.
Due to the recent drought, the guests at Fukui Villa are all worried.
Before old Mrs. Irving went to bed every night, she would go to the corridor window and look to see if the "big well" in the backyard that did not exist had dried up.
She thought that if the well was dried up, she would quickly pack up and run away with her youngest daughter, Caroline, to join her second daughter.
Although her youngest daughter told her very pessimistically, maybe the drought situation where her sisters lived was more severe than here.
But old Mrs. Irving has always been very optimistic, and her mind is always thinking in the direction she wants.
Caroline suggested writing to her sisters and asking about the situation before making a decision. Old Mrs. Irving was the least interested in writing letters, so her youngest daughter, Caroline, took care of everything herself.
The letter was sent, but the reply has not come yet. This was an era when carriages and horses were very slow. Although steam engines already existed, they had not yet begun to completely change people's transportation methods.
The high-end product of the steam train has not yet been invented.
Fortunately, although the servants of Fucui Villa were reluctant to drink more water, the lives of the owner and guests of the Villa were not greatly affected.
Not to mention the daily tea, even the water for washing is supplied normally. Of course, if a bath is requested, the servants will grumble more or less - unless the person to be bathed is Mr. Owen or the cousin.
Under such circumstances, old Mrs. Owen kept dragging her away. Now there is Shenlong Buyu in the villa, and she will not leave.
The recent life in Fucui Villa has subverted her imagination. The lettuce and potatoes that were larger than a human being, the huge steak, the incredibly large bananas, the lights on the lawn in the courtyard that glowed at night and were said to be powered by solar energy, and the surrounding countryside were not much different from her eldest daughter’s villa. villa. Even tenants can live in such nice villas! Oh my god!
Although several families live in one villa and each family can only be allocated one apartment, compared with the tenants in other villas, this is already incredibly wealthy!
The tenants of the family of Mr. Macken, the former richest man in the town with an annual income of seven thousand pounds, are still living in shabby wooden houses with thatched roofs!
All these things made old Mrs. Irving fall in love with Fortress more and more, and she was reluctant to leave even if there was a drought.
Hampshire is suffering from drought, and other places may not be suffering from it either. No other place has such a caring patron saint who not only feeds food, but also provides water as clear as a mountain spring!
Regardless of what old Mrs. Owen and her daughter thought, for Xia Qingdai, the college entrance examination was the top priority at the moment.
There is only one month left before the college entrance examination, and her nerves are tightened every day.
She only occasionally does artificial rainfall for Fucui Villa and Wanghe Villa. Every Sunday during the day, she connects the soft water pipe from the bathroom to add some water to East Lake.
In the eyes of the little people in Lilliput, a three-person-thick water dragon falls from the sky and falls into the lake every seven days.
Everyone swore that this was the Milky Way water that came down out of mercy from the dragon that could move clouds and rain. What's more, they even said they saw the shadow of a dragon in the clouds.
In the Western world, there is also a kind of dragon, but it has nothing to do with the Chinese dragon. They are ugly lizards with wings.
Therefore, Xia Qingdai deliberately told everyone about the legend of the Eastern Dragon King in the castle, and spread the transliteration of "loong" in the British countryside in the eighteenth century in advance.
People here are now in great awe of the Eastern Dragon, and some squires who have been favored by the Dragon God have spent huge sums of money to carve stone statues for the Dragon God.
Since his family had a private car, whenever Xia Shanglu didn't work overtime at night, he would drive to pick up Xia Qingdai for self-study at night.
Although for Xia Qingdai, taking the bus is no trouble, the driver of the last bus in the evening already knows her.
There is a girl with a preferential treatment card, and the driver who drives this route has the kindness to take care of her silently. When Xia Shanglu didn't have a car, he would take the bus to pick her up even if he didn't work overtime, so the driver also knew that she had an older brother who had activated his father's alarm.
But since Xia Shanglu has bought a car now, of course he has to pick up his sister from school when he has time. There was no condition to pick someone up before, but if there were conditions, he would definitely pick him up. No matter how good the security in Yucheng was, he would still worry about his sister walking at night.
What's more, the college entrance examination is coming soon, so it's best not to have any accidents.
By the end of May, school was out for the holidays. If students are willing, they can still go to the school classroom to study by themselves. Teachers will also stay in the office and you can ask any questions.
Students who live nearby will also choose to go to school to study in the evening because the atmosphere is good. Just like college students taking postgraduate entrance examinations would like to go to the library to study instead of studying in the dormitory.
People like Xia Qingdai who live far away don’t go to school and study at home. If you have any questions, there are bosses in her castle who can help answer them.
