I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 194 Attractive
Xia Qingdai and the others were having fun playing the merry-go-round in the night. When the neighbors heard the noise, they climbed up and took a look. They saw something flashing on the roof of the building here. They didn't know what it was, and they were shocked.

"Honey, the country people's houses nearby are glowing. What's going on? I think you might be able to send someone to take a look." The person who said this was Xia Qingdai's neighbor on the right.

"Haha, although I am a gentleman and lady from the country, I have more wealth than ordinary people." The female neighbor's gentleman casually replied while reading the newspaper delivered in the morning.

There are many people talking about this like them.

The carousel with hundreds of colorful lights is so conspicuous in the dark that no one can ignore it.

Helena, the duke's daughter, whom Owen accidentally offended at the ball yesterday, lives not far from Xia Qingdai's mansion.

Looking out from the west window of Helena's room, you can just see the scenery of Xia Qingdai's mansion.

"Oh, miss, come and see, what is that? It's been flashing!" The maid who was sorting the clothes in Helena's room suddenly shouted excitedly.

"What? Where?" Helena heard the sound and came to the window and saw colorful lights emitting from the top of the mansion belonging to Xia Qingdai and Owen a mile away.

"What is that glowing thing?" Helena frowned, "Is it magic?"

"Oh, I don't know!" When she heard the word "magic", the maid was so frightened that her voice became louder. "There was a solar rain over there this morning. It was said to be the rain from the Dragon Prince from the east."

"Dragon? Prince? What is this?" Helena asked with a frown.

Compared to Helena, who spends most of her time at home, her servants obviously have more sources of gossip.

As everyone communicated at nearby markets, churches, and department stores, new news about each owner spread.

"Oh, miss, I heard that he is the dragon prince in the east sea, the son of the king of the Dragon Palace under the sea. He fell in love with the oriental princess, so he often appeared in the clouds to see her. Because he is the prince of the sea, he can go anywhere Bring rain."

In just one day, the sun rain in the morning has evolved into countless versions in half of London.

This maid who has pink bubbles in her head all day long and hopes that a wise and discerning rich prince will fall for her, regardless of status and dignity, insists on marrying her, processes the legend of the dragon she heard, and the more she talks, Even more convinced.

Helena said disdainfully: "The underwater dragon palace and the dragon prince are all pagan fantasies. They should be burned on the cross."

Seventeen-year-old Helena absolutely cannot accept that the princess in the fairy tale is not hers.

She may not be the most beautiful, but she is sure that she is the most charming. Even the princesses in the palace are not as popular as her. After all, the princesses didn't have many people courting them (because the king was in the way), and their situation was completely different from hers.

In the world of girls in the eighteenth century, a girl was not considered attractive if she was not favored by the opposite sex.

And every time Helena appears in a social gathering, all the gentlemen gather around her!

But when she thought of this, Helena remembered Owen's neglect of her last night.

She angrily looked in the direction of Irving and Xia Qingdai's mansion, and hummed: "They are just two country bumpkins, what kind of oriental princess! That country girl herself confessed to Princess Charlotte that she is a Commoner. It's just good luck. Her ancestors went to the East and made a fortune, so she pretended to be rich. "The maid was just too excited when she saw the light in the distance. Now she heard the host's sour words and immediately acted out. The ability of the wind to control the rudder, in line with the master's words, criticized Xia Qingdai and Owen.

In fact, Helena has no objection to Xia Qingdai, but who told her to be in the same group with Irving? They belong to the House of Hate and Wu.

Unlike Helena's resentment towards her two new neighbors, her brother Jean Montreat liked Owen very much.

He also saw the roof glowing here. Without hesitating for too long, he asked someone to hitch the horse and prepared to rush directly to Owen to find out.

Anyway, no matter it is night or day, it makes no difference to London. This is a city that never sleeps.

When Jean Montreat arrived, Xia Qingdai and others had already got off the carousel. At the moment, I am on the terrace, drinking tea, blowing air, and chatting with the light emitted by the night light on the base of the carousel.

When Owen heard that his servants were calling to report that there were guests, he apologized to the girls and went downstairs to socialize alone.

Jean Montreat had a good temper with Owen, and the two spent a lot of time chatting at yesterday's picnic and at the dance in the evening. The other party even sent an invitation to Irving to have breakfast together before the game ended.

Owen didn't show any surprise at Jean Montreat's sudden visit. After a brief exchange of greetings, Owen took his guests up to the top of the building to see the luminous object that made him curious.

The light emitted by the carousel is so obvious in the dark night. It would be fine if it was placed on the lawn or in the yard. But it is placed on the roof of the building. It is not surprising that it will attract people.

"Oh, God, what is this?" Jean Montreat exclaimed after quickly nodding to the ladies.

"This is a carousel." Owen explained.

"What carousel? Why does it glow? Are there candles sealed in it?" The phrase "carousel" did not exist in Jean Montreat's mind at all. When he first heard it, he was surprised.

If it weren't for the yin and yang of the scene, and there were several ladies sitting aside with tea, he might have lied on the base of the carousel and studied what the glowing thing was.

Owen briefly told him the principle of electric lights, and the other party nodded silently, with a serious look on his face.

He won't understand what he's saying, but that doesn't stop him from pretending to understand. There are some things that don't need to be studied deeply, as it will only increase worries.

Just like Watt invented the steam engine, everyone only needs to know how to spend money to use it, and there is no need to understand why the steam engine can do so many things.

When she learned that an heir to the Duke's family had arrived at home, old Mrs. Irving simply "sit up in shock as she was dying." She straightened up and got up from the bed. After ordering the maid to dress her up, she held up her skirt and " "Hangchi, bangchi" climbed up to the top floor.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Jean Montreat, I'm very happy to see you. It makes this place brighter instantly!" Old Mrs. Owen's voice came before anyone arrived.

This is a shining golden son-in-law, and she is willing to introduce him to her gentle and beautiful little daughter to be married.

Caroline couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she saw her mother's attentiveness to the duke's heir.

She still has some self-awareness, how could the heir to the duke like her?
Xia Qingdai and Owen didn't care much about this. Since some guests were curious about the carousel, they turned on the switch and let them play.
