Chapter 173 The Count’s Invitation

Chapter 173 The Count’s Invitation

As soon as the Lotus Building entered the huge courtyard of the London mansion, a group of servants filed out, standing on both sides of the door, and greeted Xia Qingdai and others with great fanfare.

Xia Qingdai waited for the groom Andrew to set up the stepped horse stool for getting off the carriage, and walked down the Lotus Tower in two steps. Looking at the servants bowing to greet him, I felt a sense of reality as the owner of a mansion.

Owen's eldest cousin William has put on prosthetic limbs and can stand up. He was seen holding a crutch in his hand, standing at the front of the crowd, looking at the people coming down from the Lotus Tower with a smile.

As for William's parents, they have all gone out to his uncle's house to deal with the aftermath of his cousin Anne's incident.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will have a huge impact on Henry's family. They also have a young lady Connie waiting to be married!
Connie had lived in Fortress for several months, but there was no good news about her private life. It can be seen that there is no progress with cousin Owen, nor is there any development in Ifhra's upper-class social circle.

Under the original situation, it would be difficult for Connie to marry without much dowry. Now Anne's elopement is even worse.

Lawyer Henry and his wife are not only running for relatives, but also for their own reputation.

Owen and William met and hugged each other, and there was a tacit agreement not to ask about the whereabouts of his uncle and aunt. It was a letter sent by Owen in advance. He naturally knew what the other party was doing.

It was the first time for Jane, Mrs. Owen and her daughter to come to Xia Qingdai's mansion in London. The latter stood in the yard and looked up at the buildings with a look of longing on his face.

Although this mansion is not as spectacular as the castle at Fortress, nor does it have such a large front and back yard, it is luxurious enough compared to the densely packed apartment buildings and townhouses in the city.

Of course, don’t compare it to Buckingham Palace, which is being renovated next door.

This mansion has only one main building, guarded by two small buildings on the side, with stables, gardens and ponds.

It's just that when Xia Qingdai took Jane to visit her back garden, she was very dissatisfied with the pond with poor water quality and low water level.

She has secretly decided to return to modern times soon and take a good look at this small pond.

After a quick tour of the back garden, Xia Qingdai took Jane to choose the room where she would stay during this period.

The Thames River is not too polluted now, nor does it stink. From the outside, there is still a sparkling scenery, so the lake view room can be considered a good room.

The room Xia Qingdai finally arranged for Jane was also a lake-view room, which was smaller than the suite she used as the master bedroom, but it belonged to the deputy C position in the mansion. This shows how good Xia Qingdai is to Jane.

Old Mrs. Owen and her daughter did not receive this treatment. They were directly assigned to a suite and shared a bathroom. But the scenery outside the room window is also good, and you can see the small garden in the yard.

In London at this time, there were not yet many high-rise buildings. Xia Qingdai's mansion is one of the surrounding landmark buildings. Only the people inside overlook the side, and it is difficult for people outside to peek into this place.

It took us a total of four days and three nights to get from Fortress to London.

I never rush on the road at night. I sit in a public car of the Lotus Tower level every day. The speed is slow and it is equipped with anti-shock devices. I don’t feel any bumps at all, so the group does not feel tired.

On the afternoon of the day they arrived in London, they received a dinner invitation from the Earl of Charlton, and also received a greeting message from the Earl of Walstein.

Such a popular Lotus Tower carriage naturally attracted the attention of all parties as soon as it entered the city. Anyone who is interested can know that this carriage has entered the Xia family's mansion, which means that the owner of the mansion has gone to the city to escape the summer heat.

Earl Charlton was the Earl who had received a favor from Owen during the snowstorm, and Earl Walstein was Beethoven's patron and Xia Qingdai's old friend. Xia Qingdai was very happy to receive the letter from the other party, because the other party was with Mozart and Beethoven.

She rushed to London for a graduation trip, and the main reason was to meet these two musicians who are famous in music history.

But after opening the letter and reading the contents, her happiness was compromised.

Count Walstein regretfully told Xia Qingdai in his letter that he would not be able to introduce Mr. Mozart to her in the near future because he had been ill these days.

Xia Qingdai pressed the letter and stared blankly at a sculpture in the room, trying hard to recall information about Mozart.

After a moment, she remembered that Mozart died in December 1791. One cold winter month, he died in poverty at the age of only 12.

It's June now, which means he only has half a year left to live!
Xia Qingdai didn't know if she could save Mozart's fate by relying on traditional Chinese medicine with the blessing of modern medicine.

But no matter what, you have to see each other.

Her medical skills are not good, but her pulse diagnosis relies on the strength of faith and her understanding of acupuncture points and meridians, which is unrivaled in the world.

Even if it can't cure Mozart, it should be able to help relieve his pain.

Thinking of this, Xia Qingdai immediately entered the study with the letter and began to reply to Count Walstein.

She told the other party that she had obtained a medical qualification certificate and could treat the upper class. She hoped to visit Mr. Mozart tomorrow.

As for the qualifications to practice medicine, Owen helped Xia Qingdai complete the procedures at the Ifula Hospital where she invested. In the capitalist world, as long as the money stick dances well, there are few things that cannot be accomplished.

During this period, barefoot doctors were still the rule in the countryside and among the poor. But in London's upper class, there is naturally no place for grassroots doctors. To treat upper-class people, you need medical qualifications.

After sending the letter, Xia Qingdai walked out of the study and learned from the servant that Jane had gone back to her room to take a nap. She had no interest in wandering around the mansion alone, so she simply went back to her room.

While old Mrs. Irving was visiting the rooms in the mansion, Xia Qingdai had transformed and returned to the modern giant state.

It was still late at night in modern times, so she opened the door and took a look. I saw that the curtains of the room where my brother was sleeping were wide open, and through the floor-to-ceiling partition glass, I could clearly see that there was no one inside.

Her brother didn't come back tonight. He didn't know what he was busy with this time. He had been busy for several days.

She went back to her room, turned on the wall lamp, took out her phone and read the messages inside, and replied to all the messages that needed to be answered.

There was a missed video call on Xu Yan's WeChat dialog box. Xia Qingdai was in the 18th century at the time, so she naturally didn't receive it.

It was two o'clock in the morning in Jiangcheng and two o'clock in the afternoon in the castle.

Jiangcheng is in the East Eighth District time zone, while London is in the Central Time Zone. The former is eight hours ahead of the latter. So it is two o'clock in the morning in Jiangcheng, and it is six o'clock in the afternoon in London where Xu Yan is located.

She must have been having dinner, so Xia Qingdai did not call back to disturb the other party. She just flipped through the WeChat messages and pictures Xu Yan sent her and replied, "Got it, have fun."
