I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 161 Picnic Party

Xia Qingdai's five senses and six consciousnesses have been enhanced, and she is naturally sensitive to any malicious glances cast on her.

It only took a moment for her to catch Miss Anderson's gaze. She looked straight back, with a calm and calm smile on her face.

Miss Anderson looked away tepidly and continued talking to the wealthy businessman who gathered around her.

"Xia, Miss Anderson seems to have some objections to you."

Xia Qingdai shrugged and said, "Maybe, if you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person."

She could also feel Miss Anderson's unkindness towards her. She was very familiar with that jealous look. She had seen it many times since she was a child, so she didn't really care.

Just try to push those people further away.

When Jane heard what Xia Qingdai said, she couldn't help but smile knowingly. She thought so too.

Connie, who was sitting in the Ningxiang Pavilion, pushed Caroline with her elbow, raised her chin in the direction of Xia Qingdai and Xia Qingdai, and said, "Caroline, look at that blue skirt on Jane's body."

Caroline looked over and said, "This is a new dress from London."

"Yes." Connie said with envy, "Summer is really reserved for Jane."

When the ten summer skirts were delivered two days ago, Xia Qingdai gave one to Connie and one to Caroline, but Connie's favorite was this blue skirt.

Now that I see it wearing on Jane's body and smelling like the sea, I like it even more, and there is a little envy in her eyes.

However, she also has self-awareness and knows that she cannot be compared with Jane in Xia Qingdai's heart.

She wanted to please Xia Qingdai, but no one gave her a chance to speak, and she didn't pay much attention to them.

But it's different for Jane, and he even invites her to her room.

You must know that no one is allowed to step into Xia Qingdai's room except Mary, who is cleaning it. Every time I knock on the door, I may not get a response.

"Jane, let's go and have another dish of ice cream." Xia Qingdai fanned herself twice with a fan, and then pulled Jane along to get the ice cream.

The box of ice cream had been carried to the lawn by the servants, and there was a row of long tables covered with white tablecloths in front of it. In the middle, there are many small glass cups filled with ice cream balls for guests to take.

The small glass cup holding the ice cream is crystal clear under the light and is so beautiful.

It was the servants in the castle who enjoyed the ice cream earlier than the guests.

When Owen was riding his horse and every family invited the neighbors to a picnic, everyone would go to the ice house with their bowls in hand to get heart-warming ice cream, and the cook Lily would be in charge of distributing it with large spoons.

But there was too much ice cream. After all the servants in the castle scooped out a bowl, there was still more than half a bucket.

The material of this white bucket containing ice cream is also very strange. It is neither gold nor wood nor porcelain. Many people have asked what it is and how the ice cream is made. It is so delicious.

The servant in charge of scooping the ice cream replied in a lively manner: "This is ice cream given by the true God. It is different from the ice cream sold in cold drink shops."

Everyone believed it once they heard it, and no one expressed doubt. We are all neighbors, so we all naturally know that Fucui Villa is often favored by the true gods and has many huge divine objects.

Many people are looking for the origin of the true God of Fortress Villa in the Bible, and various theories are spread in confusion. But one thing is very consistent. Everyone thinks that he is a righteous god from heaven, not an evil god.

After all, how could the evil god make people's wishes come true and invite a dragon to come over and make clouds and rain?

Because everyone knows that ice cream is a gift from God, everyone feels that it tastes better, which may not be without some psychological factors.

It is a gift from God. It may have the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life. Xia Qingdai rarely appears at small town banquets, but whenever she does, she always becomes the center of attention.

Being different is not the whole reason. Being different and extremely rich is the core of attracting attention.

At the end of the 18th century, under the background of the Industrial Revolution, new capital was rising and the old aristocracy was in despair. Money was the greatest advantage.

Against the backdrop of this drought, the picnic at Fortress was as luxurious as ever. Cold drinks are available, and there are all kinds of drinks and wines. There are also ice buckets placed in all directions for cooling down.

Even Mr. Marken's family may not be able to produce so much ice. The drought for half a year will affect more than just a little ice.

Of course, this is people's guess. No one from Mr. Macken’s family came to the picnic today. Because more than a month ago, Mr. Marken and his family took their guests to London to escape the summer heat. They missed the day when the dragon moved the clouds and caused rain.

Owen also announced to his neighbors at the picnic that they would travel to London from tomorrow.

The fact that Miss Xia and Mr. Owen bought a palace-like mansion in London together has been widely known in Evra through the mouths of the groom and Connie.

The groom deliberately showed off his well-informed knowledge, while Connie was simply young and ignorant, and could easily be tricked by the town ladies.

"Mr. Owen, I heard that you have a large oriental-style carriage on the property, right?" Mr. Brown, the son of the gentleman Mr. Brown, asked.

Owen nodded: "Indeed."

"Can we learn more about it?"

This is just a small matter, and Owen will naturally not say no.

So a group of men followed Owen to the backyard garage. The women caught one man out of curiosity and asked, "What are you going to do, gentlemen?"

"Look at the six-horse carriage."

Yes, after modifications and test drives, it was finally determined that the Lotus Tower would be pulled by six tall horses.

In this era, the Four Seasons carriage was already at the level of Rolls-Royce. Like the Lotus Tower, it is comparable to modern modified cars and is already too expensive to be valued.

When the women heard that they were going to see a luxurious carriage, they were naturally interested and followed him to have a look.

Xia Qingdai smiled and said to Jane: "We will leave in the Lotus Tower tomorrow."

Connie came to invite Xia Qingdai and Jane to see the Lotus House, but the latter declined.

What's interesting is that these are all models that I put together with my own hands, and I also made the modifications myself. No one knows it better than Xia Qingdai.

As for Jane, although she has never seen Lotus Tower, she is most afraid of a group of people crowded together noisily. Anyway, we will meet sooner or later, not sooner than this moment.

The picnic basically started with "wow" sounds and ended with "oh" sounds from the guests. The guests were always shocked by the treasures in the villa.

After enjoying a free picnic, it was followed by a dance party in the evening.

The elegant young lady had already changed into a beautiful strapless skirt in the dressing room specially prepared by the owner.

The whole castle was brightly lit, but not too many candles were lit. They were all beautiful glass lamps, which were gorgeous and eye-catching.

Xia Qingdai had taken so much kerosene to burn the castle day and night. It could burn for a year. Such a trivial matter at the dance.
