I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 22 Huge Mirror

The Fortress Villa was crowded tonight, the driveway was full of carriages, and the servants in the Villa were more excited than ever.

The two shining Christmas tree glass lights in the courtyard illuminated the confidence of everyone in the villa.

It is impossible to find another such decent villa in the entire town of Ifula.

Whose Christmas tree actually has glowing lights?

Every gentleman and lady who came to Fucui Villa was shocked by this. This greatly satisfied the vanity of the people in the villa.

Whenever a new guest arrived, a lively male servant would come forward to greet them, pass by the glass lamp, and lead their horses to the stables.

There are people everywhere in the huge castle.

Some men were standing on the porch, looking at the glass house lights and chatting casually.

The young girls in formal dresses were like fluttering butterflies, flying around in the crowd and on the stairs, constantly greeting people and flirting with the young gentlemen.

The cheerful voices of the crowd were like the symphony of Christmas Eve, adding a sense of joy to this silver-covered world.

This year, due to the constant blizzards, the dance, which was supposed to be held once every half a month at most, has not been held for a whole month this time.

The new owner of Fukui Villa is able to hold a dance on Christmas Eve, which makes everyone very happy.

It was already a beautiful night, and the dance party was the icing on the cake.

The valets and maids, like waiters, moved about the crowd carrying trays.

Roast turkey, apple chunks, strawberry chunks, and lettuce chunks were placed everywhere, and people could get them wherever they wanted.

The main dishes are creamy mashed potatoes and steak, as well as pie with cheese.

The mini cake given by Xia Qingdai is now a super large cake with a diameter as long as a person, enough for all the guests, including all the servants, to eat till they are tired.

This animal cream cake from later generations is so delicious that people in the British black cuisine kingdom cannot imagine it.

When you take a bite of the dense cream, you feel like elves are dancing on your taste buds, and even your pores will open.

There were praises everywhere. People praised the chef of Fukui Villa and were willing to lower themselves to meet this chef with magic hands.

But Owen laughed it off. Judging from his appearance, he will definitely not satisfy everyone's curiosity.

Xia Qingdai watched the commotion below for a while, then looked down at herself in a neoclassical nightdress, climbed out of bed, opened the door, ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

This skirt, whose waistline reaches just below the bust line, is made of pure cotton and is very soft. The wide collar design makes the skin on the girl's chest look as white as milk.

Although it is not the doll style that Xia Qingdai loves, it is still very cute.

While he was admiring himself, there was a knock on the door outside the bathroom, and Xia Shanglu's voice rang out: "What are you doing? Are you ready? Leave it to my brother, I have to wash up and go to work right away."

"Oh. It'll be ready soon." Xia Qingdai put on her coral velvet nightgown again, then opened the bathroom door and asked her brother strangely, "It's only six o'clock, why are you already at work? And today is Saturday."

Xia Shanglu said angrily: "Our institute is always short of people, when will we be able to have a comfortable weekend?"

The police force at the grassroots level is insufficient, and it is common to work overtime on weekends. Xia Shanglu has become accustomed to it.

Xia Qingdai didn't say anything. After giving up the bathroom to Xia Shanglu, she quickly returned to the room. When she was about to travel back in time, she saw the mirror placed on the outer bedside table from the corner of her eye. It is a very simple INS style table mirror with a height of 13cm. If you put it in an old castle, it would be a super large dressing mirror.

So Xia Qingdai grabbed the mirror, and then reached out to push the window of the room where she slept on the second floor. She remembered that when she got up, she went to the bedside to open the window and looked outside. The window was probably unlocked.

Sure enough, with a push of her little finger, the window opened.

However, here’s the problem. The window beside the bed, which is more decorative than practical, is too small to accommodate the mirror!
  Xia Qingdai looked around again and finally found another window. If she put the mirror in sideways, it should be OK.

She stretched out her finger and pushed it gently. Fortunately, the window was not closed.

Xia Qingdai carefully put the small mirror in her hand, then put two fingers through the window to straighten the horizontal mirror.

After doing this, Xia Qingdai pressed the roof of the castle and traveled back to the room in the castle that she originally left.

As soon as she returned to this warm suite, Xia Qingdai quickly closed the window.

Then she found the mirror she had just put in Owen's room.

She closed the window she pushed open, and then dragged the countertop mirror, which was now a huge one to her, towards the cloakroom of the other suite she had just been in.

But it's a pity that when she became a villain, her strength was also reduced by the same proportion, so now she can't do anything in front of this mirror.

At this moment, there was a noise at the door, and Owen, wearing a tuxedo, suddenly walked in. Seeing Xia Qingdai in his room, he seemed stunned for a moment, and then his pale face instantly turned a little red.

"Xia...Ms. Xia, you are here. Dinner has started. Do you want to come down and have some?"

Xia Qingdai retracted the hand pushing the mirror, stood up straight and said: "Forget it, I won't go down to eat, I will scare people later, just help me bring some food up, I want to eat in the suite just now Eat in the living room.”

"Okay, as you wish." Owen said, and then moved his eyes to the mirror next to Xia Qingdai, "This is it?"

"Oh, this is a full-length mirror. Can you help me move it to the cloakroom?"

"Of course." Owen bowed slightly, "I'll call two more male servants."

People were quickly called, Paul and George, who had become Irving's personal servants.

The three of them carried the huge mirror horizontally into the cloakroom of the suite next door where Xia Qingdai slept.

The servants were so excited about such a large mirror that could reflect a person in detail, and they were afraid that they would drop it when they moved it.

European aristocrats of this era already had glass mirrors, but they were still original ones. The coating behind them contained mercury, which was harmful to the human body.

The mirror that Xia Qingdai brought over was a safe product with modern technology, and it was many times better than what the European nobles had at this time.

It would be another forty-five years before non-toxic glass mirror technology appeared in this world.

In 1835, the German chemist Liebig invented the silver-coated glass mirror.

But naturally the servants would not know this difference, and neither would Owen. Everyone thought this was the luxury glass mirror that was popular among European aristocrats.

After moving the mirror to the cloakroom, the servants retreated, and Owen also bowed and left.

Xia Qingdai can now try on the dress properly.
