I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 242 Blackface Party

It was almost twelve o'clock when Xia Qingdai came downstairs after a full sleep.

Normally, this time is earlier than breakfast, but today no one ate first, and tacitly waited for Xia Qingdai to wake up and have dinner together.

Including old Mrs. Irving, who was the oldest and married and could move breakfast to the bedroom to enjoy, they also waited honestly.

All these changes are not due to the gods who showed great power yesterday. After all, for the people of Biluoju, gods often appear and bring food and entertainment.

The reason why everyone respects Xia Qingdai even more is the news sent from the palace this morning - Mr. Owen and Miss Xia will both be crowned earls and named after the manors they own.

Now that they have jumped from country squire to aristocracy, the rules in the family will naturally become stricter.

Waiting for the countess to get up before having breakfast today was the suggestion of Mrs. Henry, the de facto housekeeper of the family, and was approved by everyone.

"You don't have to wait for me, you can eat first in the future." Xia Qingdai said, and then took the lead in picking up the spoon and eating.

Today, she was sitting at the other end of the long dining table, looking at Owen from a distance. On the table, in addition to the breakfast carefully cooked by the cook Lily, there are also flowers bought by the maids from the flower shop and placed in vases to decorate the table, which is full of ritual feeling.

After breakfast, Xia Qingdai and Owen went into the study to talk.

Only then did she realize that it was the king who had given her the title, which is why all the servants in the house looked so energetic today.

She thought it was because she had blasted the city of London.

Of course, there must be a little bit of this reason. But after all, no one knows whether Xia Qingdai is the patron goddess of the Owen family, or whether the countess's identity is closer to their lives.

"What did the official say about us being attacked?" Xia Qingdai tilted her head and asked Owen.

Although she had shown her power yesterday and buried most of the attackers on the hills outside London. But since the official server is going to seal itself today, it has to give a justifiable explanation!
Yesterday, she and Owen were treated as terrorists. They didn't even go through the legal process. They started with guns and cannons.

Since they are not guilty, the attacker is guilty, and someone must be held responsible.

Owen smiled faintly: "The sneak attacks were all robbers pretending to be security forces."

Xia Qingdai raised her eyebrows slightly, covering her ears and stealing the bell.

But whatever, she just wanted an explanation. Defined as a robber, the other party's pension and honor will be gone.

"I have sent people to inquire about the believers on the street you asked me to check yesterday. It's just that their status is a bit special and they are not suitable for visiting. Do you want to meet them?"

"What kind of special method?" Xia Qingdai was curious.

"They're gangsters."

"What is the Black Face Party?" Xia Qingdai knew nothing about it. She had no time to look up these details.

Owen explained: "They are a group of vagrants, gangsters, orphans, and landless farmers who like to wear blackface at night and rob rich people for a living. In Britain, wearing blackface is against the law, and in serious cases He may even be sentenced to death."

After saying this, Xia Qingdai understood that the co-authors were a group of gangsters. Oh no, he should be regarded as a grand thief who robs the rich and gives to the poor?
"How do they know about me? It's strange." Xia Qingdai was puzzled. This time when she came to London, she only had contact with the upper class society and had no contact with the lower class people at all. She also did not "appear" casually outside Biluoju.

Owen explained to her: "News about gods often spreads faster than people imagine. But it started when we came to London last time, the night we went to the theater to watch the opera together. Do you still remember the thief who stole our medicine box? ?”

"Oh, it turns out it's them." Xia Qingdai understood, "Yes, in their eyes, we are also fat sheep."

After a pause, Xia Qingdai said again: "I won't go see you. It's up to you to see if you can provide some support."

After all, they are all his followers, maybe Irving can win them over and become his younger brothers. As for dealing with the underground forces of the eighteenth century in person, Xia Qingdai has no interest in it.

"Okay." Owen nodded slightly to express his understanding.

In the next few days, the floodwaters in the city gradually receded.

The palace that was "struck by lightning" had its own engineering team to repair it, and the flooded streets had to bear their own losses. The other lucky people who were not affected by the disaster continued to live their lives as usual.

As for the people buried by mudslides outside the city, those who could escape escaped, and those who could not escape were buried on the spot among the green mountains and green waters. No one bothered to dig them up and bury them in the churchyard - unless a family member went to the mountains to dig them up themselves. But in such a huge mountain, it is basically impossible to dig out the buried people by oneself.

Xia Qingdai cured the little girl of the Duke's family without bleeding or inducing vomiting. She only drank some herbs and sweet antipyretic medicine and she was back to full health.

After this incident, Xia Qingdai became a guest at the Duke's Mansion. The Duke and Duchess, especially the Duchess, were extremely grateful to her and even selected a famous painting from their dowry as a thank-you gift.

In addition, Xia Qingdai’s custom-made Lolita skirt was also received.

This dress was tailor-made for the LO girl introduced by Fairy Guoguo, so I didn’t have to worry about selling it, and I didn’t need to take any advertising photos. It was delivered directly to my door after I got it, and I received the remaining balance of 18,000.

But before the money was released on the card, Xia Qingdai transferred it to Eucommia ulmoides, who helped her modify the drone. Twenty thousand yuan, including the money from the newly sold imperial dress.

Xia Qingdai was very happy after the surveillance was obtained.

In order to build this monitoring system, Xia Qingdai also took a lot of video materials of Lilliput and downloaded some war materials of European armies in the 18th century from the Internet to use as material for Eucommia ulmoides.

Now every day when Xia Qingdai goes out to copy prescriptions with her master, she lets the drone hover over the glass tank to monitor the situation below. The drone is also equipped with a modified high-pressure water cannon filled with water. With a capacity of 1000ml, this load-bearing capacity is nothing for this DJI drone.

The system will automatically identify attack actions. If attacked, the drone bound to the high-pressure water cannon will automatically lower its altitude, enter under the clouds, and attack the intruder.

Xia Qingdai no longer has to worry about what problems will arise in her little country when she leaves. And when she was taking a break, she could also pull out the video to see what Owen and others were doing underneath.

Although the camera mounted on the drone shoots from outside the glass tank, it is equivalent to taking pictures of people on the ground in the stratosphere. The picture will certainly not be too clear, and the faces of the people will not be visible clearly. But if it is only used for monitoring, it is enough.

When she gets rich one day, Xia Qingdai will upgrade the camera.

These days, whenever she goes to Jiangda Affiliated Hospital, she always hitches a ride with Yan Shixian when she comes back.

To express her gratitude, she gave Richard's mini pistol, which was kept in the drawer, to Yan Shixian as a thank-you gift.

This gun was produced by the East India Company in the 18th century. It is the size of a grain of rice in modern times, and can be regarded as a miniature antique. If there is a channel for auction, it should be quite valuable.
