I was a god in the 18th century

Carrying the gift box given by Yan Shixian, I went upstairs and met my downstairs neighbor who was carrying a bag and preparing to go out.

"Xiaoxia, did you just come back?"

Xia Qingdai shook her head: "No, just go downstairs and get something."

"Oh. We are going to Lingyin Temple tonight, are you going? If we go, I will take you with me." The neighbor enthusiastically invited her.

Xia Qingdai shook her head: "I'm not going, I still have to do my homework."

"Oh! Okay, high school students are hard. Then let's go, bye."

"Bye bye, Aunt Wang." After a few words of greeting, Xia Qingdai continued to climb upstairs.

The residents in this old building are relatively stable, and the neighbors are not as indifferent as other communities. Except for the old lady on the first floor who has a bad temper, the rest of the residents have a good relationship.

Xia Qingdai was often fed enthusiastically by her neighbors when she was a child. Perhaps everyone knew that her father was a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country, so they took extra care of the two siblings.

Opening the door and entering the house, Xia Qingdai opened the gift box given by Yan Shixian and found two boxes of Dong'e donkey-hide gelatin and two boxes of dried abalone inside.

Xia Qingdai had no idea of ​​the value of these things. After all, she had never eaten them, so she took out her mobile phone and took two photos, and searched for the same style on the shopping website.

The result was that I wouldn’t know it if I didn’t search it. But I was shocked when I searched it. It seemed to cost several thousand!

Yan Shixian's family was so generous with their gifts, Xia Qingdai felt that it was too much to accept.

You have to find a way to return the favor!

Putting the gift box on the coffee table in the living room, Xia Qingdai made herself a bowl of vegetable noodles and had it as dinner.

She usually satisfies her appetite in the old castle, but in modern times it is just to fill her stomach.

She doesn't eat in modern times at all, as she is afraid that she will lose weight unknowingly.

Anyway, with her current appetite, even if she eats on time in both time and space, she won't feel full!

After eating the vegetable noodles and washing up, Xia Qingdai returned to her room and entered the castle.

It was already dawn in the castle at this time, and the servants had gotten up early. Only the owner and guests, who had been so excited until midnight yesterday, were still sleeping.

Xia Qingdai walked out of the bedroom and came to her living room with a fireplace. She held an English book and read while warming herself by the fire.

Although she did very well in her first English test this time, she did not give up English completely. It will be equally indispensable when you go to college in the future, so morning reading is still a must.

While I was reading, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The person who came in was a low-class maid, who was responsible for taking care of the fireplace and the like. In the past, she couldn't see Xia Qingdai when she came to light the fire. She would wait two seconds after knocking on the door and then go in directly.

But now Xia Qingdai got up very early, so she met her.

The other party saluted Xia Qingdai with a blushing face, as if she was sorry for appearing in front of Xia Qingdai.

In order to make her stop being so reserved, Xia Qingdai got up and left the living room, and returned to the room to change clothes.

By the time she came out after changing her clothes, the maid who was lighting the fire in the fireplace had already left.

The person busy inside at this time was her maid Mary, who was mopping the floor. Xia Qingdai's bedroom suites are all cleaned by Mary.

"Good morning, Miss Xia." Seeing Xia Qingdai walking out of the bedroom, the maid quickly put down the rag and curtsied to her.

Xia Qingdai nodded at her: "You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."

"Shall I fetch hot water for Miss Xia to wash up first? The people from the milk farm have already delivered it today. I'll bring it to you."

"Okay." Owen's farm raises cows, sheep, pigs and poultry. There is plenty of fresh milk, eggs, and duck eggs every day. The maid also luxuriously prepares milk for Xia Qingdai to wash her face.

Xia Qingdai didn't know if washing her face with milk had any maintenance effect. Anyway, she just needed to adapt to the environment!

All the ladies from the squire families in this area used milk to wash their faces and take baths, so she just followed the crowd.

After washing up under the service of her maid Mary, Xia Qingdai walked downstairs. When she heard the sound of piano coming from the living room, she knew that Owen had gotten up.

Owen, who had served in the army, would never sleep in even if he played late the night before. He would definitely get up at seven o'clock at the latest.

In addition to playing the piano and reading, he occasionally rides a horse for a run, and sometimes practices swordsmanship.

Xia Qingdai walked into the living room and listened to him play the piano for a while, thinking it was just to cultivate her sentiments.

While admiring it, a servant suddenly came to report that businessman Bill came to visit.

Owen asked the servant to take him directly to the living room, then stopped playing the piano, got up and sat on the single sofa in front of the fireplace.

Along with Bill came two of his servants. They each held a pile of clothes in their hands.

"My dear Mr. Owen, the wool coat and leather shoes you asked me to have made by the court tailor have arrived."

This was made from the earliest sheep that Xia Qingdai had fed to the Power of Faith. They grew extremely large and had particularly long and abundant wool. After slaughtering, the wool was used to make coats, and the sheepskin was used to make some beautiful pairs of leather shoes.

They were all gifts prepared by Xia Qingdai for her brother Xia Shanglu.

It was such a coincidence that it could be delivered in time for New Year's Eve, so she could give Xia Shanglu a surprise.

In addition to the wool coat and leather shoes, there is also a cashmere sweater.

Seeing Xia Qingdai looking at the cashmere sweater with surprise on her face, Bill hurriedly said: "This is a cashmere sweater made from wool by a clever weaver girl. Please take a look."

When Xia Qingdai heard the words "cashmere sweater", she suddenly became energetic and said, "Well, I'll take a look."

After watching for a while, Xia Qingdai suddenly had the idea of ​​going to a clothing store to buy a cashmere sweater to repay the gift to Yan Shixian's family.

Britain has always been a major exporter of wool, and clothing stores and textile factories in various European countries love to trade with them.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the quality of cashmere sweaters produced in the UK.

"By the way, do you have cashmere sweaters in your department store? If so, bring me one in different sizes."

"Yes, Miss Xia, I will make arrangements for you right away."

"Thank you."

Bill was flattered when he heard this: "Miss Xia means what she said, it is my honor to serve you."

"Yeah! I'll give you flour in exchange. You know the current market price of flour, so you won't suffer a loss."

"Of course not. I like flour and potatoes, as long as they are grains." In a disaster year, food is scarce and easy to sell. It is more delicious than money. How could Bill not be willing to do so.

It is difficult for Xia Qingdai to pay for it, but it is so easy to give flour. She has an entire modern granary to back her up!

Here Xia Qingdai was looking at the clothes with interest, while over there Owen was chatting with Bill about business matters.

At the same time at Mr. Brown's house, two sisters were having the biggest discussion of the century!

They heard a rumor this morning that Owen had a villa descended from the sky at the Fortress, and the two of them were debating whether it was true or not.

The older one has a spirit of doubting everything. He has never seen anything with his own eyes, so he is always half-believed.

The younger one said that she was willing to believe this, and suggested that maybe they could ask their father to take them out to see if there really was a new villa in Fortress Villa.
