I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 68 Mr. Macken’s Distinguished Guest

Several stacked floor-to-ceiling mirrors reflected golden light, and huge gold bars lay quietly on the floor, silently revealing their dominance.

"Are these going to be used to invest in the fleet?" Owen turned his head and asked Xia Qingdai in surprise.

This gesture is too big!

Xia Qingdai shook her head quickly: "Of course not, Bill can do whatever he wants with the mirror, but keep the gold as a spare! Is there any safe room in the castle?"

Owen looked at the huge gold bar and nodded blankly: "Yes, yes..."

With such a large gold bar, can the existing small farm trailer be used? Owen was very doubtful.

And how to carry it down the stairs is really a problem.

But he worried too much, because there was no need to move it at all.

After Xia Qingdai followed Owen to see clearly the location of the treasure house in the basement of the castle, she transformed directly into a giant, stretched out her fingers to pick up two small gold bars from under the window, put them in the original matching red bag, and then easily placed them at the underground entrance. On the trailer, the humanoid crane is also!

They managed to hide the gold without the help of servants.

This underground treasure house with nearly a hundred square meters was completely empty when the two of them entered. Except for Xia Qingdai's two gold bars, there was nothing else. It was a complete empty shell.

There are two keys in the lock on the treasure house door, which need to be inserted at the same time to open the treasure house door.

Owen gave both keys to Xia Qingdai, because the gold bars inside belonged to her.

Xia Qingdai asked Owen to keep it and put it directly on the modern bedside table. She couldn't throw it away no matter what.

Although the two of them did not ask the servants to help with the matter of hiding the gold in the underground treasure house, the entire Fucui Villa knew about it within half a day.

The fact that Xia Qingdai, a cousin who came from afar to join Irving, had two huge gold bars as a dowry, spread throughout the entire Fucui Villa in less than a day.

If nothing else, other people in the town will soon know.

It's hard to expect servants to keep secrets. If they don't tell the master how many times they go to the toilet every day, it's considered professional ethics.

The market and department store in the town are a center for news circulation. News about everyone in the area, especially the upper class, is always a topic of discussion.

This situation is probably similar to how people in later generations like to explore celebrity gossip.

What is certain is that there will definitely be a huge number of single young men eyeing Xia Qingdai in the future.

In Europe in the 18th century, it was an indisputable fact that whether a girl of marriageable age was popular in the marriage market did not depend largely on her character and appearance, but on her origin and dowry.

A young son who has no inheritance rights, a noble who has no title but whose family is in decline, and a superior person who only wants to join forces with powerful ones, the favorite marriage partner is of course a rich, noble and beautiful girl.

Xia Qingdai is rich, good-looking, and has bought a large manor. Even if she was not a lady before, she is definitely one now.

After businessman Bill received the news that Irving sent someone to inform him, he immediately drove a large truck to Faucui Villa to drag the mirror without missing a moment.

Seeing all six mirrors being dragged away, Xia Qingdai didn't feel distressed at all. No matter how much she sells, she is guaranteed to make a profit. Although there was a mirror and gold on this day, Xia Qingdai's study plan was still unshakable.

Private lessons in English, mathematics and physics must not be stopped.

After waking up from a nap in the afternoon, it was time to prepare for the dance at Mr. Marken's house in the evening.

Xia Qingdai was wearing a champagne-colored satin imperial dress with a snow-white mink fur today. She took a carriage to the pastor's house to pick up Jane Austen, and together they went to the house of Mr. Marken, the richest man in the town.

Not everyone who came to the ball had their own carriage. Several ladies hired carriages to attend the ball.

The poor Reverend Austin naturally did not have a carriage. Xia Qingdai had already written to make an appointment with Jane Austen and asked her to hitchhike with her today.

Xia Qingdai no longer needs to be a wallflower at tonight's dance, because she has learned to dance from Owen.

Not to mention how good I am at dancing, at least I have no problem communicating.

The unusual-looking Xia Qingdai attracted most of the attention as soon as she appeared at the dance.

There were many people who invited her to dance, including the two gentlemen who attracted the most attention at the ball tonight - Owen and Count Walstein.

Needless to say, the former is one of Xia Qingdai's own, while the latter is Mr. Marken's distinguished guest in Vienna.

A 29-year-old single earl, I heard that he had inherited a very considerable inheritance, and now works as a diplomat. These three points alone are enough to make him the favorite at the ball, let alone He is also handsome and handsome.

Xia Qingdai thought the name was familiar at first, but when she accepted his invitation to dance and heard the words "Bonn Palace" in his mouth, she suddenly remembered something!

Europe is really so small, and it’s full of celebrity circles everywhere you go!

What Xia Qingdai cares about most about this count who can speak fluent English is not his status as "count", but that he has a friend who will be remembered forever - Beethoven!

Ever since she had the castle, whenever she had free time, Xia Qingdai would look through various materials from the late 18th century and early 19th century. Of course, there were also famous people in the world!

Count Walstein was Beethoven's important supporter in art and finance. He could be said to be Beethoven's boss.

It is difficult for artists in this era to rely purely on art to make a living. Unlike later generations, where there are so many opportunities, people who have not graduated from elementary school can accumulate hundreds of millions of wealth through live broadcasting.

Artists in the eighteenth century usually had to be supported by nobles who appreciated them in order to go further on the road of art.

Xia Qingdai is very average about music, but that's Beethoven! If you have the opportunity to get to know him, who can refuse it?

And now Count Walstein, who was written into the music by Beethoven and left his name in the history of music, is dancing with himself!

Xia Qingdai immediately brightened up and began to respond to his chat with interest.

She also wondered why this diplomat came all the way from Bonn, Germany, to the British countryside. Mr. Marken's path was too wild!

After the dance, Count Walstein accepted Xia Qingdai's invitation and walked to the piano to play the next dance for everyone.

He was the man who once made Beethoven willing to be a gunman. He was not only Beethoven's boss, but also a friend of Mozart and Haydn.

Passionate about music, his piano playing skills surpassed most of the people present, and the melodies flowing from his fingertips instantly conquered many girls.

From what Xia Qingdai heard, he and Irving were already capable of fighting.

Count Walstein was not surprised when he heard Xia Qingdai mention Mozart. After all, the 35-year-old Mozart had long been famous, but it was really surprising that she also knew Beethoven.

Because Beethoven was unknown at this time, how could he be remembered by girls far away in the British countryside?
