I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 416 The Piano Comes in

James, a student at Cambridge University who was leaving tomorrow, praised Xia Qingdai's caramel macchiato and suggested, "Xia, why don't you consider opening a coffee shop in Chinatown? With your skills, you can sweep the entire European coffee world."

Xia Qingdai smiled and said, "I'm just having fun. I don't have the time to open a store."

"Haha, yes."

Owen listened to the two talking, sipping the cup of caramel machi in his hand. Although he didn't say it, his love for the goddess was about to overflow.

Although his goddess is just a person from the future world, she really seems like an omnipotent god!
How advanced will the technology of the future be to give birth to such a person?

Soon after drinking coffee, Xia Qingdai sent a car to take Jane Austen home before the snow started to fall. She also gave her a wooden box of smokeless bamboo charcoal to keep her warm at night.

When I was taking a nap with Jane this afternoon, I found that she was in the habit of sleeping with socks on, saying that it kept her warm.

This reminded Xia Qingdai of the two sisters in Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility". Because they moved to a small villa in the countryside, it was too cold in winter and they wore socks to keep warm when they slept.

As expected, novels are based on real life. Xia Qingdai couldn't bear to see Jane suffer. She even provided enough wood for heating for the servants of Fucui Villa, so how could she let her good friend suffer?
Not every room in the parsonage had a fireplace, and Jane Austen's room didn't have one, so it was just right to give her smokeless bamboo charcoal.

Jane Austen was naturally extremely grateful for Xia Qingdai's thoughtful and generous gift.

"Thank you, dear Xia." Before getting on the car, Jane Austen kissed Xia Qingdai on the cheek and said goodbye reluctantly, "Good night, I hope you have a wonderful dream tonight."

"Good night, the same wishes go to you."

The vehicle that sent Jane Austen home was not a horse-drawn carriage, but an off-road vehicle. Snow had already fallen from the sky, and Xia Qingdai was not a person who liked to abuse animals. This kind of weather was of course the best time for the steel off-road vehicle to perform.

Only after watching the SUV disappear into the night did Xia Qingdai turn around and go in. She had only stood outside under the eaves for a short while when she felt her hands were a little frozen. The winter during the Little Ice Age was really not a life for human beings.

"On a night like this, I wonder what those who don't have enough firewood to keep warm will do." Xia Qingdai thought of the low mud houses and thatched houses she saw when she gave alms during the day, and couldn't help feeling pity.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

In this Lilliputian world, it would be a piece of cake for her to take care of everyone in the surrounding area.

"Don't worry. I have asked someone to deliver some firewood for heating to those families who have run out of firewood this afternoon." Owen whispered to comfort her.

Xia Qingdai was surprised and said, "Oh, Owen, you are so thoughtful! It has to be you!"

Owen received Xia Qingdai's praise, lowered his head and smiled implicitly, without feeling proud.

Xia Qingdai really didn't expect that Owen would do these things after coming back. This was too unexpected and such a warm-hearted man's behavior.

This is a truly noble gentleman, Owen is indeed her rightful henchman!

After all, the average gentleman in the 18th century was not a group of people who cared about ordinary people.

Just like those British people say that the slave trade is bad, the sugar industry is full of evil, and the situation of "sheep eating people" is indeed wrong, but this does not stop them from continuing to do so.

The main theme is I'm sorry, I was wrong, but I will continue.

Owen is really different from them all, no wonder he is a special case in this castle! Xia Qingdai looked at Owen and smiled like an aunt, feeling sweet in her heart.

"It's late. I'm going upstairs to rest. Owen. Good night!" Xia Qingdai walked to the stairs and waved to Owen.

"Good night." Owen bowed slightly to her and watched her go upstairs with a gentle light in his eyes.

If Xia Qingdai looked back at him at this moment, she might have seen some affection in his eyes. But unfortunately, Xia Qingdai did not look back. She had stayed in the castle long enough and was calculating the time to return to the modern world to check the progress of her song sales.

It is 11 o'clock in the evening in the castle, and it is o'clock in the morning when we return now.

Xia Qingdai pushed open the door and was surprised to hear some noise at the door.

She walked barefoot to the living room, and the electronic cat's eye automatically lit up when it sensed someone approaching. The scene that appeared in the elevator hall made Xia Qingdai open her mouth in surprise.

The next second, the electronic fingerprint lock was opened.

Xia Shanglu saw his sister standing not far from the door and laughed, "So you're up now. Why didn't anyone answer my call just now? I thought you were still sleeping in."

"Ah, brother, you called me? I didn't hear it. Maybe I was in the bathroom at that time." Xia Qingdai scratched her head. She knew the reason in her heart. It was the 18th century, three centuries away from the modern times. How could they hear the phone ringing outside?

But on the surface she acted innocent, as if she had no idea why she didn't hear the phone ringing.

Xia Shanglu didn't ask more questions about this. It wasn't a big deal anyway. If he came back and didn't see Xia Qingdai, he might get worried.

Now that I see my sister standing right in front of me, what else is there to think about?

"Come on, excuse me, please help me put it here." Xia Shanglu didn't have time to talk to Xia Qingdai now. He had to direct two delivery workers to carry a big thing!
This is a very large piano, shiny black, and it is pleasing to the eye.

Xia Shanglu received his year-end bonus today and immediately bought the piano he had set his eyes on a few days ago.

His own sister doesn't even have a piano, but he can still compose such beautiful piano music to make money. He must get a piano for his sister!

There is no rush to pay off the loan, the piano must be arranged first.

Xia Qingdai made way and followed her brother with a smile on her face, watching him direct the workers to place the piano.

"Brother, did you buy this for me?" Xia Qingdai asked happily.

"Of course!" Xia Shanglu turned to look at her with a smile, "You can write such a good piece of music without a piano, so how can I not prepare one for you? How is it? Do you still like it?"

"Of course I like it. Thank you, brother!" Xia Qingdai clapped her hands and laughed, "But where did you get the money? Didn't you use up all your savings to buy a house and pay off the mortgage?"

"I got my year-end bonus today, and I spent it all on this gift for you! I'm being nice to you, bro!"

"Okay, that's great, I'm so touched! Thank you, brother!" After the piano was set up, Xia Qingdai sat in front of it and tilted her head and said, "Brother, let me play a song for you!"

"Oh, little girl, it's best to leave the newly moved piano for a day before playing it," the mover reminded quickly.
